Important—Read before Installing

1. Check all local or other applicable codes for in formation concerning proximity to property lines, height above roof, obstructions, etc.

2. Be sure the power supply available (voltage, frequency, and phase) corresponds to that specified on the unit rating plate.

3. Check the electrical service provided by the utility for the building to be sure that the service capacity is sufficient to handle the load imposed by this unit.

4. Refer to the regulations of the serving gas sup

plier and the local building, heating, plumbing, or other codes in effect in the area in which in stallation is to be made.

5. Refer to the dimensional drawing on page 2 for

location of electrical, gas, and chilled-water con nections prior to setting the unit in place.

GENERAL

Model 90-452W is a gas-fired air-cooled absorption

unit designed to satisfy the cooling needs of com mercial and industrial buildings. This absorption unit supplies chilled water for cooling with Bryant’s indoor

and outdoor coil assemblies.

Multiple Chillers and Cooling Coils

When it is planned to connect two or more chillers or coils, additional piping and electrical information is required and should be obtained from your Bryant Distributor. When making multiple chiller in stallations, it is recommended that only Models 452 and 452W be interconnected. Interconnection of sizes 60, 90, and 120 is permissible, but the use of other model chillers with Models 452 and 452W in a multiple system should be avoided.

Operation at Atmospheric Pressure

The chilled-water tank on this unit is vented to the atmosphere; consequently, the chilled-water circuit operates at atmospheric pressure. Therefore, con

ventional piping practices for a closed, pressurized system do not apply for this unit.

NOTE: When the water chiller is piped to a boiler as

described below, the indoor coil operates at or near atmospheric pressure when used for cooling; the in door coil may be pressurized when it is used with the boiler for heating.

Figure 1 - Model 90-452W Gas Air Conditioner

When this chiller is piped with a boiler to form a com

bination heating and cooling system, provisions must be made for a positive shutoff between the chiller tank and the boiler.

When the boiler is in operation, the^ chiller tank must be bypassed. A sediment strainer must be installed at

the chiller tank inlet when a common pipe connects the chiller tank and boiler.

When the chiller is in operation the boiler, of course, should be bypassed.

Installation

Installation of the Model 90-452W, Series E Gas Chiller unit consists of the following steps:

I. Locating and Mounting the Unit

II. Connecting Chilled-Water Lines

III. Making Electrical Connections

IV. Making Gas Connections

V. Chilled-Water System

VI. Checking the Unit Operation

VII. Adjusting Gas Input

VIII. Balancing the System

Each of the above steps is discussed in detail in this

instruction. Read the entire instruction before starting

the installation.

I. LOCATING AND MOUNTING UNIT

The absorption unit is approved for outdoor in stallation only and may be located at ground level or on the roof. Consult local or other applicable codes for information concerning proximity to property lines, height above roof, obstructions, etc.

3. Leave sufficient clearance (6 inches minimum) between unit base and roof for proper air cir culation when installing unit on a roof. Use precast concrete lintels or concrete blocks as described in paragraph 2, or use steel beams. Check local codes. Refer to NBFU code for In stallation of Heat Producing Appliances.

A. Mounting Base

1. USE NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.

2. Suggested types of mounting base for ground in stallation ;

a. Precast concrete lintels. Use three lintels the

depth of unit, one each under right and left end of unit, and one at center of unit.

b. Concrete blocks. Use one block at each corner

of unit plus blocks under the two long sides midway between the corner blocks.

c. Concrete slab. Minimum thickness 4 inches.

II. CONNECTING CHILLED-WATER LINES

B. Clearances

1. Absorption unit should have a minimum clear ance of 2 feet on all sides from any adjacent obstruction.

2. Avoid locating the unit where hot condenser air can impinge on nearby obstructions and mix with

the inlet air supply. The condenser air discharges upward. The unit should be located outside of the plumb line from any overhang when the distance from the overhang to the top of the unit is less than 7 feet.

Refer to “Multiple Chillers and Cooling Coils,” page 1; “Operation at Atmospheric Pressure,” page 1; and “Chilled-Water System”, page 7, before making any chilled-water connections.

NOTE; Values shown in Table I are for one direction only. The total length of pipe from chiller to coil and return would be double the values given. The above table applies to single unit installations only.

A. Materials

NOTE: Black iron pipe must not be used for chilled-

water piping.

1. Piping a. Polyethylene Plastic Pipe - use medium den

sity flexible pipe whose wall thickness approximates Schedule 40 pipe (Commercial Standard CS 255-63). Pipe must be virgin plastic. Do not use pipe manufactured from reclaimed plastic.

b. Copper—satisfactory substitute.

1. Multiply table values by two to obtain total length of pipe from chiller to coil and return.

2. Length is measured along pipe path and therefore includes vertical distance between water coil and chiller.

3. Lengths shown in Table I are based on using a total of eight galvanized wellhead elbows in en tire water line (chiller to coil and return). Lengths are predicated on use of a Bryant matching water coil. For greater distances, use larger pipe or add a pump. Consult your Bryant Distributor for additional information.

B. Pipe Length and Diameter

Table I shows maximxom length of pipe of different diameters that can be used between the pump discharge and the coil inlet and still maintain minimum allowable (design) water flow rate.

C. Insulation

1. Insulate supply and return lines separately.

2. Material should be of good quality and be covered with a good vapor barrier. Armaflex or equivalent is recommended.

Wall thickness; 1/2 inch.

D. Height of Coil above Absorption Unit

Practical coil elevation is limited only by the at

mospheric pressure supported hydraulic head.
