1.2.3.1 Electric Box Access
The electrical components are protected behind dual
hinged access doors located on the left side of the
unit. The access doors are safety interlocked with the
service disconnect switch preventing the doors from
opening when the switch in the “On” position. The
switch must be turned “Off” to gain access to the
electrical components.
1.2.3.2 Circuit Breakers/ Motor Start Protectors
Individual overload protection is provided by circuit
breaker(s) and motor start protectors. These switches
must be manually re-set once the overload condition is
cleared.
1.2.3.3 Pumps
Multi-stage centrifugal pumps are located in the right
side of the unit to circulate the coolant through the
system. A hinged access door is located on the right
side of the unit. This door may be opened to gain
access to the pump section.

1.2.3.4 Expansion T ank
An expansion tank has been provided on the chilled
water side of the unit to compensate for thermal
expansion of the coolant. An air vent is mounted on
top of the fluid separator .
1.2.3.5 Heat Exchangers
Constructed of 316 stainless steel with brazed plate fin
construction, the evaporator heat exchangers are for
the exchange of heat from the process water/glycol
coolant to the refrigerant.
1.2.3.6 Receivers
Receivers are provided for each refrigeration circuit for
storage of excess refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle.
1.2.3.7 Compressors
The compressors used in this unit are scroll compressors mounted inside the unit on vibration absorbers to
eliminate noise and vibration during operation. The
scroll compressor is designed around two identical
spirals or scrolls that, when inserted together, form
crescent shaped pockets. During a compression
1-2
(©October, 2006)
Page 7
CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
cycle, one scroll remains stationary while the other
scroll orbits around the first. As this motion occurs,
gas is drawn into the scrolls and moved in increasingly
smaller pockets toward the center . At this point, the
gas, now compressed to a high pressure, is discharged from a port in the center if the fixed scroll.
During each orbit, several pockets of gas are compressed simultaneously , creating smooth, nearly
continuous compression.
Due to the design of the scroll compressor, the internal
compression components always start unloaded even
if the system pressures are not balanced. In addition,
since internal compressor pressures are always
balanced at start-up, low voltage starting characteristics are excellent for scroll compressors
With fewer moving parts, the
scroll compressor sets the
industry standard for reliability among one and a half to
twelve horsepower compressors. The compressor’s
simple design and proven
day-to-day performance
means less maintenance
calls for field personnel.
The scroll compressor has
demonstrated superior
durability . Its axial and radial
compliance make the scroll
compressor more tolerant to liquid refrigerant and
debris - two of the most common causes of system
failure.
The scroll compressor is quiet, but not silent. On
average, the compressor is up to five decibels quieter
than standard piston compressors. A scroll compressor, however , has different sound characteristics from
reciprocating compressors. These sounds do not
affect system reliability or performance.
Upon shut-down of a normal run cycle, the compressor
will run backwards for one or two seconds as the
scrolls internal pressures are equalized. A short
reverse rotation “burp” will result. This sound is normal.
A check valve in the discharge tube of the compressor
prevents the compressor from running backwards for
more than a second or two. This normal direction
reversal of the scrolls at shut down has no effect on
compressor reliability .
Each scroll compressor comes equipped with a
crankcase heater, used to evaporate any liquid that
may have migrated to the compressor during extended
periods on non-operation (>12 hours). The crankcase
heaters are equipped with over current protection.
CAUTION
Prior to initial start-up (only when main power
has been disconnected for 12 hours or longer),
allow at least ten (10) minutes (two (2) hours is
recommended) with main power reconnected.
This will allow sufficient time for the crankcase
heaters to evaporate any liquid that may have
migrated to the compressor crankcase. When
this procedure is completed, the CyberChiller is
ready to be run.
Automatic, staged starting of the compressors is
provided to prevent an in rush of current to the
CyberChiller. High and low pressure safety switches
prevent operation of the compressor during high or low
pressure conditions.
1.2.3.8 Strainer
A “Y” strainer is included to remove any debris that
may be circulated to the chiller.
1.2.4 Safety Features
Low and high-pressure switches are provided for each
refrigeration circuit. The pressure switches are nonadjustable encapsulated control switches. If a high
pressure switch is tripped for any reason, it must be
manually reset. The cause for tripping of the high
pressure switch must be determined. The low pressure
switches are reset automatically . These pressure
switches are installed as safety devices and will help
prevent compressor failure or other serious damage to
the system.
A flow switch is provided which will disable the refrigeration circuits if the coolant flow drops below a preset limit.
A blocked flow bypass valve is recommended for field
installation to ensure proper return flow to the chiller at
all times.
Manual reset circuit breakers will open to de-energize
a failed component if electrical overload conditions are
encountered.

CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
CAUTION
All personnel working on or near equipment
should be familiar with hazards associated with
electrical maintenance. Safety placards/stickers have been placed on the unit to call attention to all personal and equipment damage hazard areas.
CAUTION
Ensure the unit is properly phased. Improper
phasing can cause severe damage to the compressor.
W ARNING
Refrigerant (R-22 or R-407C) is used with this
equipment. Death or serious injury may result if
personnel fail to observe proper safety precautions. Great care must be exercised to prevent
contact of liquid refrigerant or refrigerant gas, discharged under pressure, with any part of the
body . The extremely low temperature resulting
from the rapid expansion of liquid refrigerant or
pressurized gas can cause sudden and irreversible tissue damage.
As a minimum, all personnel should wear thermal protective gloves and face-shield/goggles
when working with refrigerant. Application of excessive heat to any component will cause extreme pressure and may result in a rupture.
Exposure of refrigerant to an open flame or a
very hot surface will cause a chemical reaction
that will form carbonyl chloride (hydrochloric/hydrofluoric acid); a highly poisonous and corrosive gas commonly referred to as PHOSGENE.
In its natural state, refrigerant is a colorless, odorless vapor with no toxic characteristics. It is
heavier than air and will disperse rapidly in a
well-ventilated area. In an unventilated area, it
presents a danger as a suffocant.
Always refer to the manufacturer's MSDS provided with the unit.
W ARNING
Avoid skin contact or inhaling fumes from any
acid formed by burn out of oil and refrigerant.
Wear gas mask if area is not thoroughly ventilated. Wear protective goggles or glasses to
protect eyes. Wear rubber gloves to protect
hands. Use care to avoid spilling compressor
burnout sludge. If sludge is spilled , clean area
thoroughly.
W ARNING
When performing soldering or desoldering operations, make certain the refrigeration system
is fully recovered and purged and dry nitrogen is
flowing through the system at the rate of not
less than 1-2 CFM (.03 - .06 M³/minute).
CAUTION
Certain maintenance or cleaning procedures
may call for the use and handling of chemicals,
solvents, or cleansers. Always refer to the
manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) prior to using these materials. Clean
parts in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhalation
of solvent fumes and prolonged exposure of skin
to cleaning solvents. Wash exposed skin thoroughly after contact with solvents.
CAUTION
Do not use cleaning solvents near open flame or
excessive heat. Wear eye protection when blowing solvent from parts. The pressure-wash should
not exceed 30 psig. Solvent solutions should be
disposed of in accordance with local and state
regulatory statutes.
CAUTION
Units must be kept in its normal installed position. If the unit is not kept level and vertical,
damage to the unit's compressors will result.

controller manual, system drawings, applicable
MSDS’s, other component manuals, warranty registration and other applicable instructions based on the
configuration and options of your unit. The data
package has been placed in your unit in a clear plastic
envelope. These documents need to be kept with the
unit for future reference.
NOTE
Working clearance requirements need to be established prior to the mounting of the unit. Refer
to local and national electrical codes.
2.3 Rigging
The CyberChiller systems are designed to be kept in
the vertical position. Move the unit with a suitable
device such as a forklift, pallet jack or roller bar and
dollies. Weight tables are provided on the installation
drawings. Units are shipped on a skid to facilitate
moving prior to installation. Units should always be
stored indoors in a dry location prior to installation.
CAUTION
Units must be kept level and in the vertical position when lifting to prevent damage to the unit.
2.4 Mounting/Placement
Position unit in the desired location. CyberChiller
systems are 100% front accessible, which allows the
units to be placed in a corner or between cabinetry .
(See Figure 2.)
NOTE
Allow access to the unit for routine operation,
servicing and for necessary maintenance.

Figure 2- Typical Installation
(©October, 2006)
Page 13
CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
The following general requirements should be considered during installation:
NOTE
Equipment must be level to operate properly .
2.4.1 Indoor Equipment
The CyberChiller system uses a frame and panel
construction for unit rigidity and full service accessibility while the unit is mounted in place. The unit is
designed to be located directly on top of the floor or on
a raised floor installation. Ensure the mounting surface
is able to support the equipment. Before mounting the
unit, refer to the appropriate weight tables that are
provided in the installation drawing.
2.4.2 Outdoor Equipment
Install the remote condenser or fluid cooler in a secure
location where the unit cannot be tampered with and
the main power circuit breaker cannot be inadvertently
turned off. If possible, make use of terrain features
such as trees and buildings to provide a shaded
location. This will minimize the solar load on the unit.
Locate the remote condenser or fluid cooler where the
coils are not likely to draw dirt and debris into the coil
fins. The clearance around the unit should be at least
1 times (1x) the unit’s width to ensure adequate airflow
to the coil.
Secure the condenser or fluid cooler so that the
system will not move during operation. Refer to the
installation drawing for the non-charged system
weight. It is recommended that the remote condenser/
fluid cooler be mounted with field supplied vibration
mounts to reduce the amount of vibration transmitted
to the mounting surface.
Refer to the wiring diagram for electrical connections
and to the refrigeration diagram for piping details.
2.4.3 Pump Package Installation (Water Glycol Systems
Install the pump in general accordance with the piping
diagram provided with the unit. The pump should be at
least 3 feet below the height of the expansion tank.
Do not form piping loops adjacent to the pump. A void
piping very rigid lines.
If the pump will be operated at reduced capacity,
a by-pass must be provided around the pump
suction and discharge connections to prevent
damage to the pump seals. Damage would result
from insufficient liquid passing through the pump and
the heat of the pump vaporizing the brine solution due
to the motor’s heat and the friction of the impeller
housing.
It is a good idea to install a pressure gauge in the
discharge line to check the pressure.
2.4.4 Optional Equipment (Field Installed)
NOTE
Do not mount any optional equipment on unit
access doors.
2.4.4.1 Remote Display
The C6000 Microprocessor is the standard controller
supplied with the CyberChiller systems. As an option a
factory supplied control panel may be remotely
mounted. For mounting and wiring instructions, refer to
the system drawings and the supplemental manual
sent in the data package with your unit.
2.4.4.2 Remote Water De te ct or
The optional remote water detector(s) is normally
placed on the sub-floor or in a field supplied auxiliary
drain pan located beneath the unit. It may be attached
using double sided tape. Prepare surface before

2.5 Piping Connections
2.5.1 Process Supply Fluid Lines
Coolant fluid supply and return lines are connected
from the equipment being cooled to the CyberChiller
via copper sweat fittings provided in the pump section.
2.5.2 Refrigerant
2.5.2.1 Split Air Cooled Systems
Split air-cooled systems with a remote condenser will
require field refrigeration piping. (See Figure 3.) All split
systems are shipped with a dry nitrogen charge of 50
psig.
Split systems coupled with a remote condensing unit
will require a copper discharge and a copper liquid line.
All refrigeration piping should be installed with high
temperature soldered joints. Use standard refrigeration
practices for piping supports, leak testing, dehydration
and charging of the refrigeration circuits. The refrigeration piping should be isolated from the building by the
use of vibration isolating supports. T o prevent tube
damage when sealing openings in walls and to reduce
vibration transmission, use a soft flexible material to
pack around the tubes.
Clear all pipe connections of debris and prepare the
connections for soldering. Use only "L" or "K" grade
refrigerant copper piping. Be careful not to allow
solder/piping debris to get inside refrigerant lines.
Silver solder containing a minimum of 15% silver is
recommended. Dry nitrogen should be flowing through
the tubing while soldering at a rate of not less than 1-2
CFM (.03 - .06 M3/minute).
Refrigerant lines for split systems must be sized
according to the piping distance between the evaporator and the condenser. Each valve, fitting and bend in
the refrigerant line must be considered in this calculation. Refer to the following charts for standard equivalent lengths, in feet, of straight pipe.
Oil traps must be included in the discharge line every
20 feet in the vertical risers and the refrigerant lines
must be sloped ¼ inch for every 10 feet in the horizontal lines to ensure proper oil return to the compressor.
An inverted trap is required on the discharge line of the
remote condenser to help prevent oil and liquid from
flooding back to the compressor.

2.5.2.2 Water/Glycol Fluid Cooled Systems
Piping connections for the water/glycol fluid coolers
are sweat connections. (See Figure 4.) Pipe sizes
may not necessarily be the same as the unit connection. Piping should be sized to match the system
pressure drop and pump capacity and may require a
reducing fitting to match the connection size on the
pump package and CyberChiller.
Copper is adequate for closed loop systems and
ground water which is not high in mineral content and
is pH neutral. In situations where scaling could be
heavy , or where biological growth will be present, a
closed loop system is recommended. Untreated water
in the unit heat exchangers may cause, over a period
of time, a loss of heat exchange capacity due to a
mineral deposit build-up inside the exchanger. Only a
qualified service mechanic should clean these.
Equivalent Length Ft.*
NOTE
(©October, 2006)
Glycol-cooled systems with low entering fluid temperatures should have insulated piping. The recommended
ethylene glycol solution ratio is 40% glycol to 60%
water. (SA TS recommends Dowtherm SR1 manufactured by Dow Chemical Co.) Use only ethylene glycol
with inhibitors for corrosion protection.

Procedures (Evaporator Side)
2.7.1.1 Pump Start-Up
Fill the system with potable water before turning the
pump on. These pumps are not self-priming, so it is
important that there is a pressure on the suction inlet.
CAUTION
Do not run the pump dry .
If the pump has no pressure on the discharge side,
leave the discharge valve partially shut to create a
back pressure in the pump so that liquid volume can
build up in the impeller housing to keep the impeller
housing from getting too hot. Make sure there is
always liquid leaving the pump, indicating that there is
flow in the pump to cool the impeller and housing. If
MP PACKA
GLYCOL UNITS ONLY
there is no flow shut the pump off immediately to
prevent damage to the pump. Check for proper rotation
of the motor observing the arrow on the side of the
impeller.
CAUTION
The pumping system of the CyberChiller is
designed for use with a positive suction head.
At no point should the system be operated for
an extended period of time with less than 5 to
10 psig at the pump inlet pressure fitting.
NOTE
The piping system must be clean prior to
operating the system
1. Connect the water source to the drain valve hose
bib.
2-9
(©October, 2006)

2. Open the vent valve at highest point of the system.
3. Open the water source and run until the water
solution is discharging from the vent with minimal
signs of foaming due to air in the system.
4. Allow pump to run until 30 psig is indicated on the
pressure gauge at the pump inlet fitting.
5. Ensure water side is completely filled without air
voids. Check and verify proper flow rate is obtained
before starting the compressors.
CAUTION
Extensive operation of the circulating pump
with the compressors disabled may cause
damage from the abnormally high water/glycol
temperature developed.
5. Observe the pressure on the pressure gauge
connected to the chiller pump inlet fitting. Maintain
20 to 30 psig on the pressure gauge.
CAUTION
Improper setting of the heat exchanger flow
switch may result in freezing of the heat
exchanger, and system failure not covered by
warranty. Only qualified individuals should
perform this procedure.
2.7.1.2 Strainer Cleaning
NOTE
During initial operation the “Y” strainer will trap
the majority of the particulate left in the
system as a result of various manufacturing
processes. The Strainer MUST be cleaned
every 30 minutes during the first 3 hours of
operation to ensure adequate flow of coolant.
(See below.)
1. Switch both compressors to the “OFF” position.
2. Isolate the “Y” strainer by closing isolation valves.
3. Unscrew the brass fitting from the “Y” strainer and
pull the screens out.
4. Wash the screens thoroughly to remove the
collected particulate.
6. Re-open isolation valves.
7. Resume unit operation. Repeat steps 1 – 6 every
30 minutes for first 3 hours operation.
2.7.2 Outdoor Heat Exchanger Glycol
Charging Procedures
In glycol cooled units the refrigerant system is already
charged with R-22 or R407C.
The following precautions must be observed when
installing and filling the glycol loop:
• The glycol must be mixed with water before it is
added to the system. All air must be bled from the
piping system.
• The piping system must be cleaned prior to
adding the glycol solution to the system.
• Use only water glycol solution with inhibitors for
corrosion protection.
2.7.3 R-22 Refrigerant Charging Procedures
NOTE
Refrigerant charging must be performed by a journeyman, refrigeration mechanic or an air conditioning technician.
2.7.3.1 Remote Air-Cooled Split Systems
Remote air-cooled units come equipped with a factory
dry nitrogen holding charge, which must be removed
before piping and charging the unit.
PREPARING SYSTEM FOR CHARGING
1. Once all connections have been made, pressurize
the system to 150 psig with dry nitrogen. Leaks
may be detected by observing the standing
pressure.
2. After ensuring there are no leaks, relieve pressure
and evacuate the system. Pull a vacuum of 50
microns or less using the suction and discharge
service ports and the service port of the receiver (if
applicable). Hold the vacuum for 2 hours. Ensure
no portion of system has been isolated from the
evacuation process (liquid, suction or discharge
lines).
5. Reinstall the screens in the strainer housing and
replace the brass fitting.
(©October, 2006)
2-10
Page 22
CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
CAUTION
A proper vacuum must be drawn on the refrigerant system prior to charging. If this is not done
the refrigerant will combine with the moisture in
the pipes to form an acid that will eventually
cause compressor failure.
FINE TUNING THE SYSTEM CHARGE
2.7.3.2 -20ºF Variable Speed Control
The following instructions are for charging systems
with condenser fan cycling or variable speed control
using R-22 refrigerant.
1. Bleed air from hoses and "break" the system
vacuum by supplying R-22 vapor. Supply R-22
vapor until the pressure is raised to about 50
psig. This small holding charge allows the low
pressure switch to “make” throughout the process of fine tuning the system charge
W ARNING
Do not add liquid R-22 refrigerant to the
suction side of the system.
2. Start the system and use the microprocessor
controller to lower the supply water temperature
set-point 3-5°F below actual water temperature.
This will ensure the cooling mode stays on during
the charging procedure.
CAUTION
An adequate heat load must be supplied to the
unit to ensure a proper charge.
3. Supply R-22 vapor to the suction port until the
liquid line sight glass is cleared of all bubbles.
4. After the unit has stabilized, the liquid line sight
glass should be clear and the discharge pressure
should be a minimum of 200 psig. A superheat
reading should be taken 6 inches from the compressor, with the temperature-measuring device
being well insulated. The superheat should be
approximately 10-12 ºF .
sub-cooling temperature should be approximately
10-20 ºF .
NOTE
Under cold climate conditions it is recommended
to do the following:
6. Block off the intake air to the condenser with
cardboard (or reduce the water glycol flow) until a
constant discharge pressure (225-280 psig) can
be obtained. This will lower the possibility of
overcharging and avoid the occasional bubbles
that may appear in the sight glass during fan
cycling.
7. Ensure the crankcase heater is operational by
checking the amperage.
CAUTION
Remove the blockage to the air intake of the
condenser (or restore the water/glycol flow).
9. Fill out applicable blocks of Warranty Registration
and Start-Up Checklist.
2.7.4 R407C Refrigerant Charging Procedures
R-407C is a blended refrigerant recognized for being
safer for the environment. Refrigerants that are multicomponent blends have component parts with different
volatilities that result in a change in composition and
saturation temperature as evaporation and condensation occur. Typically the composition of R-407C vapor
is different than that of R407C liquid within a contained system. The composition of liquid R-407C
refrigerant remains relatively constant, however, the
refrigerant vapor tends to separate into its component
parts even when circulating. When charging a system
using blended refrigerants, it is essential that the
composition of the refrigerant is maintained. To
ensure correct composition, introduce R-407C into the
system in liquid form rather than vapor form. Cylinders
which are not provided with dip tubes should be
inverted to allow only liquid refrigerant to charge the
system. Keeping the temperature of the cylinder
below 85°F will help to maintain the correct refrigerant
composition while the cylinder is emptied.
5. A sub cooling reading should be taken on the
output side of the condenser, with the temperature-measuring device being well insulated. The
2-11
(©October, 2006)
Page 23
CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
CAUTION
POE oil is used in systems with R-407C
refrigerant. POE oil quickly absorbs moisture
when exposed to air. High POE oil moisture
levels react with refrigerant to form acid, which
results in system contamination. Keep entire
system sealed as much as possible and
minimize exposure of POE oil to outside air.
Familiarize yourself with the charging procedures discussed in section 2.7.3 of this
manual. Instead of adding R-22 vapor to the
suction port as described under “Preparing
System For Charging”, the initial charge will
be performed by introducing R-407C liquid to
the discharge side of the compressor.
PREPARING SYSTEM FOR CHARGING
1. With all the system piping connections made,
perform a dry nitrogen leak detection test on the
system. Using dry nitrogen only, pressurize the
system to 150 psig. Since there is no refrigerant
in the system to detect, leaks may be detected
by observing the standing pressure.
2. After ensuring there are no leaks, evacuate the
system to 50 microns and hold the vacuum for 2
hours.
3. Break the vacuum by supplying R-407C liquid to
the discharge port near the compressor until the
pressure is raised to about 50 psig. This small
holding charge allows the low pressure switch to
“make” through the process of fine tuning the
system charge.
FINE TUNING THE SYSTEM CHARGE
4. Disconnect the refrigerant cylinder from the
discharge side of the compressor and connect it
to the suction side.
5. Start the system and use the microprocessor
controller to lower the supply water temperature
setpoint 3-5°F below actual water temperature,
ensuring cooling remains on as the unit is
charged.
6. Allow the discharge pressure to rise to 225-280
psig and hold it constant. On cool days it may be
necessary to restrict the airflow across the
condenser (or reduce the water glycol flow), to
raise the pressure.
7. Slowly meter R-407C liquid refrigerant through the
suction side while watching the sight glass to clear
of bubbles.
CAUTION
Add liquid refrigerant slowly to prevent the refrigerant
oil from “washing out” of the compressor.
8. While monitoring the sight glass, take a subcooling temperature reading on the output side of
the condenser. The sub-cooling temperature
should be 10-12°F.
9. If necessary, add liquid refrigerant to maintain
adequate sub-cooling temperature.
10. Take a superheat reading on the suction line 6"
from the compressor. The superheat should be 1220°F.
2.7.5 High/Low Pressure Limit Switch
CyberChiller units utilizing thermal expansion valves
are equipped with hermetically sealed high-pressure
and low-pressure switches. These switches are preset
by the manufacturer and cannot be adjusted. The high
pressure switch will open the control circuit to disengage power to the compressor contactor if the
discharge pressure rises above a specific pressure.
The high pressure switch also triggers an alarm signal
at the controller. T o restore operation of a compressor
after shut down due to high or low pressure, re-set the
alarm at the remote panel. If a compressor was
disabled due to high pressure conditions, a manual
reset of the high pressure safety switch is also
required. The high-pressure switch opens at 410 psig
and has a manual reset.
The Low pressure switch will open the control circuit
to the microprocessor digital input to disengage power
to the compressor contactor if suction pressure drops
below a specific pressure. The microprocessor will
ignore the absence of this signal during the cold start
delay period after starting of a compressor . Should
this signal continue to be absent or open after the
cold start period, the affected compressor will be shut
down with an alarm indication at the controller. Th e
low-pressure switch opens at 10 psig (± 4) and closes
at 32 psig (± 5) and has an automatic reset.

2.7.6 Head Pressure Controls
2.7.6.1 Air-Cooled Systems
2.7.6.1.1 Condenser Fan Speed
Remote air-cooled condensers use variable speed
condenser motor control to maintain head pressure.
The variable speed motor is located closest to the
header end of the condenser. The fan speed control is
a continual modulation of the motor's speed. As the
condenser discharge pressure rises, the fan speed
increases, cooling the condenser which lowers the
discharge pressure. The controller is mounted in an
electrical box for field installation or could be prepackaged with the outdoor condenser . Mount the
condenser control box on the header end of the
condenser. The fan speed controller requires no
adjustments.
Ensure the wiring to the condenser is in accordance
with appropriate codes and the electrical schematic.
On systems with more than one fan on the condenser,
the remaining motors cycle on and off through additional thermostat(s).
2.7.6.2 Water/Glycol-Cooled Systems
2.7.6.2.1 Head Pressure Regulating Valve
In a water/glycol condenser, condensing temperature
is maintained by the liquid flowing through a regulating
valve and then into a brazed plate liquid-cooled
condenser. The regulating valve opens to increase
liquid flow as the pressure rises (or closes as the
refrigerant pressure falls). The regulating valve is
factory set for the correct condensing temperature
however, it can be adjusted to increase or decrease
the condensing temperature as follows:
Head pressure regulating valves are available in 2-way
or 3-way configurations. 3-way valves are available with
pressure ratings of 150 and 300 psig. The location and
method for adjusting the valves for condensing pressure differs with the valve types. To increase the
condensing temperature, decrease water/glycol flow.
T o decrease the condensing temperature, increase the
water/glycol flow. A directional arrow is stamped on the
metal housing of the valve stem.
2.7.7 Thermal Expansion Valve
CyberChiller units utilize a thermal expansion valve
(TEV) to control the flow of refrigerant entering the
evaporator in order to maintain a constant superheat of
the refrigerant vapor at the outlet of the evaporator.
Superheat is the difference between the refrigerant
vapor temperature and its saturation temperature at
that pressure. By controlling superheat, the TEV
keeps nearly the entire evaporator surface active while
not permitting liquid refrigerant to return to the compressor.
The standard superheat is factory set at 12-20°F and
should not need adjustment. If adjustment should be
required, remove the cap from the valve. Turn the
adjusting stem clockwise to increase the superheat
and counter clockwise to decrease the superheat.
2.7.8 Hot Gas Bypass
The hot gas bypass system provides some modulated
capacity control and freeze protection. The hot gas
bypass system consists of a discharge bypass valve
that allows some hot gas from the compressor
discharge line to flow directly to the evaporator, in
order to maintain the fluid leaving temperature.
The hot gas bypass system also provides freeze
protection for the evaporator coil by limiting the
minimum refrigerant pressure, thereby preventing the
surface temperature of the evaporator coil from dropping into the freezing range.
The hot gas bypass valve is automatically controlled
by the Chiller’s unit mounted controller. The hot gas
bypass valve will begin to open, allowing hot gas
refrigerant to enter the evaporator once the leaving
water temperature falls to the leaving water temperature setpoint.

3.0 START-UP/COMMISSIONING
3.1 Operation
For new installations, ensure the unit is ready to
operate by going through the Checklist for Completed
Installation, located in Appendix A, prior to start-up.
NOTE
A W arranty Registration and S tart-Up Checklist
is provided with the unit data package. It should
be completed during start-up and sent to SA TS.
This checklist should be used as a guideline for
items that need to be confirmed during start-up.
Start-up must be performed by a journeyman, refrigeration mechanic or an air conditioning technician.
3.2 Step by Step Start-Up Instructions
1. Replace all equipment removed prior to performing
start-up checks.
2. Apply power to start the CyberChiller system at
the main power disconnect switch.
NOTE
The compressor(s) may have a time delay on start-up.
Both refrigeration circuits must be tested at start-up.
There are several ways to force the second circuit
into operation. Refer to the separate controller operation instructions sent with your unit in the data package.
3. T est cooling operation by adjusting the leaving fluid
temperature setpoint. The compressor should
come on and the chilled water supply should
gradually drop in temperature.
3.2.1 Operational Description
3.2.1.2 Compressor
1. Compressor starts.
2. The compressor takes low pressure, low temperature gas and compresses it to a high temperature,
high pressure gas.
3. The refrigerant then flows to the condenser coil.
The high temperature, high-pressure gas from the
compressor is cooled by the flow of water/glycol/
air through the condenser coil and is changed into
a low temperature, high-pressure liquid.
4. The low temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant then flows to the receiver. The receiver acts as
a storage tank for the liquid refrigerant that is not
in circulation.
5. The refrigerant drier/strainer removes any moisture
(water vapor) or impurities that may be carried by
the liquid refrigerant.
6. The refrigerant then flows through the liquid sight
glass. This device indicates the presence of
moisture and state of refrigerant in the system.
7. The liquid line solenoid valve controls the flow of
refrigerant before going to expansion valve, which
controls the amount of liquid refrigerant to the heat
exchanger. The expansion valve senses the
temperature and pressure of the refrigerant as it
leaves the heat exchanger. By use of a sensing
bulb and an external equalizer line the valve
constantly adjusts the flow of liquid refrigerant to
the heat exchanger.
8. As the liquid refrigerant leaves the expansion valve
it enters the heat exchanger. The evaporation of
the liquid refrigerant within the heat exchanger
removes heat from the water coolant.
9. The refrigerant gas is then drawn back to the
compressor and the cycle is repeated.
10. Hot gas from the compressor discharge line is
injected into the inlet of the heat exchanger by the
hot gas bypass regulator valves. The system
controller signals the hot gas regulator valves to
proportionally vary the rate of hot gas being
injected into the inlet of the heat exchanger as a
function of the supply coolant temperature sensed.
The hot gas will mix with the refrigerant from the
expansion valve. The expansion valve will meter
the flow of liquid refrigerant as needed to maintain
super heat to approximately 9° - 1 1°F.
1 1. The hot gas valve(s) act together with the expan-
sion valve(s) to control the temperature of the
supply coolant.
3.2.1.3 Coolant System
The water coolant system is a closed loop re-circulating system. The pressurized supply coolant flows
through the electronics equipment removing heat and
then is returned to the expansion tank inside the
CyberChiller. The fluid is pumped from the expansion
tank through the system heat exchanger where heat is
removed from the fluid. Af ter cooling, the fluid is re-
3-1

Page 27
CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
supplied to the equipment. The flow switch senses the
coolant flow in the system. When the pump is operating, the coolant flow in the piping actuates the flow
switch. The switch will signal the system controller to
disable compressors and expansion valves and close
the hot gas valves if the coolant flow rate drops.
NOTE
During initial operation the “Y” strainer will trap the
majority of the particulate left in the system as a result
of various manufacturing processes. The strainer
MUST be cleaned every 30 minutes during the first 3
hours of operation to ensure adequate flow of coolant.
3.2.1.4 Water/Glycol Outdoor Fluid Cooler
On a call for cooling the dry contacts on the drycooler
control relay in the CyberChiller’s electric box close
the 24 V AC circuit from the “powered pump package”
and turn on the drycooler and pump.
An Aquast at cycles the dry cooler fan(s) on and off to
maintain an 85°F glycol temperature. As the glycol
temperature rises above 85°F the aquastat starts
cycling the drycooler fan ON to maintain 85°F glycol
temperature.
3.3 Microprocessor Controller Programming
The microprocessor controller is factory programmed
based on the optional features selected. Most applications require no field start-up or program adjustment
beyond setting the current date and time. Separate
operating instructions for the controller have been sent
with your unit, including each feature's factory "default"
setting and the available adjustment range, if applicable.
3.2.1.4.1 Dual Pump Packages
A field installed flow switch (shipped loose from the
factory) must be installed in the main glycol line. If
flow is not established the flow switch closes the 24
V AC control circuit to a switch over relay and turns off
the primary pump contactor after a time delay , and
turns on the secondary pump.
The manual Primary/Secondary switch is mounted
through the side of the pump package electric box.
Normally the switch is in the “Primary” position which
allows the controller to rotate the pumps (auto switch).
Switching to the “Secondary” position manually
overrides the primary pump control and only the
secondary pump will operate. While in the “Secondary”
position the pump package will also auto-switch to the
primary pump in the event of a loss of coolant flow.

4.3 Field Service
It may be necessary to perform repairs on the refrigeration system. If field repairs are necessary , the
following procedures apply:
NOTE
Do not attempt to make repairs without the
proper tools.
4.3.1 Leak Detection
Several methods can be used to detect a leak in the
refrigeration system. The most modern and easiest
method is to use an electronic leak detector. Follow
the manufacturer’s directions and any leak can be
quickly located. A second method is to use soap
bubbles. Apply a solution of soapy water with a brush
or sponge to the joints and connections in the refrigeration lines. A leak in the lines will cause bubbles to
form.
NOTE
Halogen leak detectors are ineffective with R407C refrigerant because unlike R-22 refrigerant, R-407C does not contain chlorine.
4.3.2 Leak Repair
When a leak is located, properly reclaim the remaining
refrigerant charge before attempting repairs. Adjacent
piping must be thoroughly cleaned by removing all
paint, dirt and oily film. Use wire brush, sandcloth or
sandpaper and wipe the area with clean, dry cloths.
Protect nearby parts from heat damage by wrapping
with water-soaked cloths
4.3.3 Refrigerant Piping
When replacing components within the cabinet of the
unit, the following consumable materials are recommended: Use Silfos alloy for copper-to-copper (piping
discharge or suction line repairs). Silver solder (StaySilv #45) and flux are to be used on copper-to-brass
or copper-to-steel repairs. For liquid line repairs at the
drier, strainer, sight glass, or expansion valve, use a
95 % tin to 5 % antimony solder with flux.
When component replacement is complete, remove
all traces of flux. Af ter any repair , pressure check the
system, checking for leaks prior to recharging the
system.
4.3.4 General Common Repairs/
Component Replacement
4.3.4.1 Compressor Failure
The compressor is the most important component of
the air conditioner. Numerous safety devices are
provided to protect the compressor from failing.
If a compressor failure has occurred, determine
whether it is an electrical or a mechanical failure. An
electrical failure will be indicated by the distinct
pungent odor once the system has been opened. If a
burnout has occurred, the oil will be black and acidic.
A mechanical failure will have no burned odor and the
motor will attempt to run, an abnormal or excessive
noise may be present.
An analysis of the oil is the only way to ensure the
proper procedure for cleaning the refrigerant system.
Acid test kits are available from several manufacturers for measuring the acid level in the oil. These are
capable of making accurate acid measurements, but
if they are not available, a check of the oil by sight
and smell can give a quick indication if contamination
remains in the system. Since refrigeration oils vary in
color, a sample of the new oil in the replacement
compressor should be removed prior to installation and
sealed in a small glass bottle for comparison purposes. If the oil has been exposed to refrigerant, the
bottle should not be tightly capped, since the residual
refrigerant may create a high pressure if tightly sealed
and exposed to high temperature.
CAUTION
Avoid touching or contacting the gas and oil with
exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Use long
rubber gloves in handling contaminated parts.
All electrical connections should be checked to be
sure that they are tight and properly made. Check all
circuit breakers, contactors and wiring. The contactor
should be examined and replaced if contacts are worn
or pitted.
If there is acid in the oil, there has been an electrical
failure which has caused the compressor motor to
burn out. The acid diffuses throughout the refrigeration
system and must be removed by using a burnout filter
kit before a new compressor is placed in service. Not
only must the compressor be replaced, but also the
entire refrigeration circuit must be cleaned of the
4-5

Page 33
CyberChiller Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
harmful contaminants left by the burnout. See section
4.3.4.1.2 (Burn-Out/Acidic Cleanup) for the proper
cleaning procedure.
CAUTION
Damage to a replacement compressor caused
by improper system cleaning constitutes abuse
under the terms of the warranty . This will VOID
THE COMPRESSOR WARRANTY. Always consult the factory prior to replacing the compressor.
If there is no acid in the oil, there has been a mechanical failure. See section 4.3.4.1.1 (St andard Cleanout)
for the proper cleaning procedure.
CAUTION
POE oil is used in systems with R-407C refrigerant. If a replacement compressor is provided,
ensure that it is filled with POE oil before installing.
4.3.4.1.1 Standard Cleanout Procedure
CAUTION
Avoid touching or contacting the gas and oil with
exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Use long
rubber gloves in handling contaminated parts.
NOTE
Cleaning operations must be performed by a journeyman, refrigeration mechanic, or air conditioning technician.
1. Turn off power to the unit at the main power
disconnect switch.
2. Remove the burned-out compressor and install the
new compressor.
3. Remove the liquid line drier and install an oversized liquid line filter-drier (one size larger than the
normal selection size).
4. Evacuate the system according to standard
procedures. Normally , this will include the use of a
high-vacuum pump and a low-vacuum micron
gauge for measuring the vacuum obtained.
5. Recharge the system.
6. Turn on the power at the main power disconnect
switch and start the system.
4.3.4.1.2 Burn-Out/Acidic Cleanup Procedure
NOTE
Cleaning operations must be performed by a journeyman, refrigeration mechanic, or air conditioning technician.
1. These systems should be cleaned using the
suction line filter-drier method.
2. Turn off power to the unit at the main power
disconnect switch.
3. Remove the burned-out compressor and install the
new compressor.
4. Install a suction line filter-drier designed for acid
removal.
5. Remove the liquid line drier and install an over-
sized liquid line filter-drier (one size larger than the
normal selection size).
6. Check the expansion valve, sight glass and other
controls to see if cleaning or replacement is
required.
7. Evacuate the system according to standard
procedures. Normally , this will include the use of a
high-vacuum pump and a low-vacuum micron
gauge for measuring the vacuum obtained.
8. Recharge the system through the access valve on
the suction line filter-drier.
9. Turn on power at the main power disconnect
switch and start the system.
10. The permanently installed suction line filter-drier
permits small-system cleanup to be completed in
one service call. The pressure drop across the
suction line filter-drier should be measured during
the first hour of operation. If the pressure drop
becomes excessive, the suction line filter-drier
should be replaced (See Sporlan Bulletin 40-10, for
maximum recommended pressure drop (PSI) for
suction line filter drier).
1 1. In 24 hours, take an oil sample. Observe the color
and test for acidity . If the oil is dirty or acidic,
replace the suction line filter-drier.
12. In 2 weeks, examine oil to determine if another
suction line filter-drier change is necessary .
