Centrifugal liquid chillers are designed to provide safe and reliable service when operated within design specifications. When
operating this equipment, use good judgment and safety precautions to avoid damage to equipment and property or injury
to personnel.
Be sure you understand and follow the procedures and safety
precautions contained in the chiller instructions as well as
those listed in this guide.
DANGER
Failure to follow these procedures will result in severe personal injury or death.
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building.
Outlet from rupture disc or relief valve must be vented outdoors in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI/
ASHRAE 15 (American National Standards Institute/
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and AirConditioning Engineers). The accumulation of refrigerant
in an enclosed space can displace oxygen and cause
asphyxiation.
PROVIDE adequate ventilation in accordance with ANSI/
ASHRAE 15, especially for enclosed and low overhead
spaces. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or
death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye and skin irritation. Decomposition products
are hazardous.
DO NOT USE OXYGEN to purge lines or to pressurize a
chiller for any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with
oil, grease, and other common substances.
NEVER EXCEED specified test pressures; VERIFY the allowable test pressure by checking the instruction literature
and the design pressures on the equipment nameplate.
DO NOT USE air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or
dry nitrogen.
DO NOT VALVE OFF any safety device.
BE SURE that all pressure relief devices are properly in-
stalled and functioning before operating any chiller.
RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH by electrocution. High
voltage can be present on motor leads even though the motor is not running. Open the power supply disconnect before touching motor leads or terminals.
WARNING
Failure to follow these procedures may result in personal
injury or death.
DO NOT USE TORCH to remove any component. System
contains refrigerant which may be under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective gloves and goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Recover or isolate refrigerant from system using high-
pressure and low pressure ports as appropriate. Note that
R-1233zd(E) will be less than atmospheric pressure
until a temperature of about 65°F (18.5°C).
c. Traces of vapor should be displaced with nitrogen and
the work area should be well ventilated. Refrigerant in
contact with an open flame produces toxic gases.
d. Cut component connection tubing with tubing cutter
and remove component from unit.
e. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when necessary.
DO NOT USE eyebolts or eyebolt holes to rig chiller sections or the entire assembly.
DO NOT work on high-voltage equipment unless you are a
qualified electrician.
DO NOT WORK ON electrical components, including
control panels, switches, or starters, until you are sure ALL
POWER IS OFF and no residual voltage can leak from capacitors or solid-state components.
(Warnings continued on next page.)

WARNING
LOCK OPEN AND TAG electrical circuits during servicing. IF WORK IS INTERRUPTED, confirm that all circuits are de-energized before resuming work.
AVOID SPILLING liquid refrigerant on skin or getting it
into the eyes. USE SAFETY GOGGLES. Wash any spills
from the skin with soap and water. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES with water
and consult a physician.
NEVER APPLY an open flame or live steam to a refrigerant cylinder. Dangerous overpressure can result. When it is
necessary to heat refrigerant, use only warm (110°F [43°C])
water.
VERIFY that refrigerant storage cylinders are clean with no
residual moisture, oil, or refrigerant that can contaminate
the refrigerant charge.
DO NOT REUSE disposable (nonreturnable) cylinders or
attempt to refill them. It is DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL. When cylinder is emptied, evacuate remaining gas
pressure, loosen the collar, and unscrew and discard the
valve stem. DO NOT INCINERATE.
CHECK THE REFRIGERANT TYPE before adding refrigerant to the chiller. The introduction of the wrong refrigerant can cause damage or malfunction to this chiller.
Operation of this equipment with refrigerants other than
those cited herein should comply with ANSI/ASHRAE 15
(latest edition). Contact Carrier for further information on
use of this chiller with other refrigerants.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE fittings, covers, etc.,
while chiller is refrigerant charged or at any time while
chiller is running. Be sure pressure is at 0 psig (0 kPa) before breaking any refrigerant connection. Note that chiller
will be in a vacuum condition when temperature is below
normal room temperature.
CAREFULLY INSPECT all rupture discs and other relief
devices AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. If chiller operates in a
corrosive atmosphere, inspect the devices at more frequent
intervals.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR RECONDITION
any relief device when corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt, scale, etc.) is found within the valve body
or mechanism. Replace the device.
DO NOT install relief devices in series or backwards.
USE CARE when working near or in line with a com-
pressed spring. Sudden release of the spring can cause it
and objects in its path to act as projectiles.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these procedures may result in personal
injury or damage to equipment.
DO NOT STEP on refrigerant lines. Broken lines can whip
about and release refrigerant, causing personal injury.
DO NOT climb over a chiller. Use platform, catwalk, or
staging. Follow safe practices when using ladders.
USE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT (crane, hoist, etc.) to
lift or move inspection covers or other heavy components.
Even if components are light, use mechanical equipment
when there is a risk of slipping or losing your balance.
BE AWARE that certain automatic start arrangements CAN
ENGAGE THE STARTER, TOWER FAN, OR PUMPS.
Open the disconnect ahead of the starter, tower fans, or
pumps.
USE only repair or replacement parts that meet the code requirements of the original equipment.
DO NOT VENT OR DRAIN waterboxes containing industrial brines, liquid, gases, or semisolids without the permission of your process control group.
DO NOT LOOSEN waterbox cover bolts until the waterbox has been completely drained.
DO NOT LOOSEN a packing gland nut before checking
that the nut has a positive thread engagement.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT all valves, fittings, and piping
for corrosion, rust, leaks, or damage.
PROVIDE A DRAIN connection in the vent line near each
pressure relief device to prevent a build-up of condensate or
rain water.
DO NOT leave refrigerant system open to air any longer than
the actual time required to service the equipment. Seal circuits
being serviced and charge with dry nitrogen to prevent contamination when timely repairs cannot be completed.
INTRODUCTION
Prior to initial start-up of the 19DV unit, those involved in the
start-up, operation, and maintenance should be thoroughly familiar with these instructions and other necessary job data.
Procedures in this manual are arranged in the sequence required for proper chiller start-up and operation. This book also
outlines the control system for those involved in the start-up,
operation and maintenance of the unit before performing startup procedures. It is intended to be used in combination with the
19DV Semi-Hermetic Centrifugal Liquid Chillers Controls
Operation and Troubleshooting manual that describes the controls in detail.
CAUTION
Do NOT punch holes or drill into the top surface of the control or VFD enclosure for field wiring. Knockouts are provided for field wiring connections. Drilling holes through
the top of the cabinet can result in a loss of warranty on the
starter assembly because of metal particulate falling on and
into electronic components.
CAUTION
PROVIDE MACHINE PROTECTION. Store machine and
starter indoors, protected from construction dirt and moisture. Inspect under shipping tarps, bags, or crates to be sure
water has not collected during transit. Keep protective shipping covers in place until machine is ready for installation.
Follow latest Water-Cooled Chillers Long Term Storage
document located in Chiller Builder Library.

CAUTION
WHEN FLUSHING THE WATER SYSTEMS isolate the
chiller from the water circuits to prevent damage to the heat
exchanger tubes.
CAUTION
This unit uses a microprocessor control system. Do not
short or jumper between terminations on circuit boards or
modules; control or board failure may result.
Be aware of electrostatic discharge (static electricity) when
handling or making contact with circuit boards or module
connections. Always touch a chassis (grounded) part to
dissipate body electrostatic charge before working inside
control center or use a grounding strap before handling
printed circuit boards.
Use extreme care when handling tools near boards and when
connecting or disconnecting terminal plugs. Circuit boards can
easily be damaged. Always hold boards by the edges and
avoid touching components and connections.
This equipment uses, and can radiate, radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, it may cause interference to radio communications. The PIC6 control boards have been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to International Standard in North America EN 610002/3 which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause interference, in which case the user, at his
own expense, will be required to take whatever measures
may be required to correct the interference.
Always store and transport replacement or defective boards
in anti-static shipping bag.

CHILLER FAMILIARIZATION (Fig. 1 and 2)
Chiller Information Nameplate
The information nameplate is located on the left side of the
chiller control panel.
System Components
The main components include the evaporator and condenser
heat exchangers in separate vessels, motor-compressor, refrigerant, lubrication package, control panels, PIC6 Touch Screen
HMI, economizer, VFD, and purge system.
Evaporator
This vessel is located underneath the compressor. The evaporator is maintained at a lower temperature/pressure so evaporating refrigerant can remove heat from water flowing through its
internal tubes. Water flows through the internal tubes to provide comfort or process cooling.
Condenser
The condenser operates at a higher temperature/pressure than the
evaporator and has water flowing through its internal tubes in order to remove heat from the refrigerant. It contains a metering device that regulates the flow of refrigerant into the economizer.
Economizer
This chamber reduces the refrigerant pressure to an intermediate
level between the evaporator and condenser vessels. In the economizer, vapor is separated from the liquid, the separated vapor
flows to the second stage of the compressor, and the liquid flows
into the evaporator. The energy removed from the vaporized refrigerant in the economizer allows the liquid refrigerant in the
evaporator to absorb more heat when it evaporates and benefits
the overall cooling efficiency cycle. It contains a float assembly
that regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator.
Motor-Compressor
This component maintains system temperature and pressure
differences and moves the heat-carrying refrigerant from the
evaporator to the condenser. The 19DV utilizes a two-stage
back to back direct drive configuration.
Purge Unit
This is a small independent condensing unit with compressor, separator, regenerative carbon filters, heater and vacuum pump. The
purge extracts gas from condenser (or from compressor if unit is
not in operation) and purifies it by removing non-condensable
gases and any water vapor that may be present.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
The VFD variable frequency is a voltage source design that
converts line voltage into PWM (pulse width modulating) motor input for motor speed and torque control.
Refrigerant Lubrication System
This system provides lubrication to the compressor bearing by
means of a refrigerant pump.
Chiller Control Panel
This control panel includes the input and output boards (IOBs),
control transformer, relays, contactors, and circuit breakers. It provides the power distribution and protection to the electrical components installed on chiller and has the following functions:
• Communication with PIC6 touch screen
• Communication with purge panel
• Communication with VFD
• Sensor input and outputs
• Actuators control
• Refrigerant pump control

The compressor continuously draws refrigerant vapor from the
evaporator at a rate set by the amount of first stage guide vane
opening and motor speed. As the compressor suction reduces
the pressure in the evaporator, the remaining refrigerant boils
at a fairly low temperature (typically 38 to 42°F [3 to 6°C]).
The energy required for boiling is obtained from the water
flowing through the evaporator tubes. With heat energy removed, the water becomes cold enough to use in an air-conditioning circuit or process liquid cooling.
After taking heat from the water, the refrigerant vapor is compressed by a back-to-back compression connected by means of interstage piping. Compression adds heat energy and the refrigerant
is quite warm (typically 98 to 102°F [37 to 40°C]) when it is discharged from the compressor into the condenser.
Relatively cool (typically 65 to 90°F [18 to 32°C]) water flowing into the condenser tubes removes heat from the refrigerant,
and the vapor condenses to liquid. The liquid drains into a high
side float valve chamber between the condenser and the economizer. The refrigerant is then metered into the economizer. In
the economizer, due to lower pressure, as liquid enters the
chamber, some liquid will flash into a vapor and cool the remaining liquid. The separated vapor flows to the second stage
of the compressor for greater cycle efficiency. The second
stage guide vane on the compressor acts as a pressure regulating device to stabilize operating conditions. At part load the
second stage guide vane will back up gas flow and thereby
raises the economizer pressure to allow appropriate refrigerant
flow from economizer to the compressor.
The cooled liquid left in the economizer flows through a low
side float valve and then into the evaporator. The float valve
forms a liquid seal to keep vapor from entering the evaporator.
The refrigerant is now at a temperature and pressure at which the
cycle began. Figure 3 summarizes the refrigeration cycle.
The 19DV unit utilizes R-1233zd(E) refrigerant. At atmospheric pressure its boiling point is 65.5°F (18.6°C). The result is
that at normal operating conditions the evaporator typically
will be in a vacuum condition and the condenser will operate at
a pressure above atmospheric pressure. Unit near room temperature will be close to atmospheric pressure.
To avoid adverse effects on chiller operation, considerations
must be made to condenser water temperature control. For
steady state operation, the minimum operating refrigerant
pressure differential between evaporator and condenser is approximately 7 psid (48 kPa) with a maximum evaporator refrigerant temperature of 65°F (18°C). Consult Chiller Builder for required steady state operational limits and low lift options. Inverted start conditions are acceptable for short
durations of time, but for periods exceeding 5 minutes, a special control solution strategy should be used to allow the
chiller to establish a minimum refrigerant pressure differential (and thereby adequate equipment cooling).
REFRIGERANT LUBRICATION CYCLE
Summary
The 19DV Series chiller uses refrigerant to lubricate the bearings.
The lubrication control is automatically controlled by the chiller
controls. In normal RUN mode refrigerant is pumped by means of
a refrigerant pump from the high side condenser float chamber to
the bearings. Prior to start-up, liquid level in the high side condenser float chamber is maintained by pumping refrigerant liquid
from the evaporator to the high side float chamber until level sensor is satisfied. If liquid high side float level is not satisfied, the
pump will move refrigerant from the evaporator to the condenser.
During pre-lube and post-lube cycles, refrigerant is drawn from
the evaporator for bearing lubrication.
Figures 4 and 5 identify the refrigerant lubrication assembly. Supply refrigerant is pulled through a filter drier by the refrigerant
pump and is pumped to the bearings through two protective filters
and then returned to the evaporator.
There are two pressure sensors located across the refrigerant
pump. During RUN mode a minimum of 12 psid is required for
the refrigerant pump delta difference. An alert will trigger if
this value is less than 13 psid while the machine is in normal
operating mode. Consult the 19DV with PIC6 Controls Operation and Troubleshooting manual for details.
Bearings
The 19DV motor-compressor assembly includes two matched
sets of refrigerant-lubricated bearings. The motor shaft is supported by a combination set of journal bearing and roller element bearings on each end of compressor. The refrigerant lubrication pressure difference is defined as the bearing input
pressure minus the bearing output pressure plus the Refrigerant
Delta P Offset.

Inhibitor Reclaim System
The inhibitor reclaim system moves inhibitor from the evaporator
and returns it to the first stage suction inlet which allows it to be
mixed in the system since it has a tendency to have higher concentration in the evaporator compared with the rest of the system. The
reclaim is powered by an eductor driven by the gas pressure difference between first stage suction and discharge of second stage.
Motor Cooling System
The motor is cooled by liquid refrigerant taken from the bottom of the high side condenser float chamber. Refrigerant flow
is maintained by the pressure differential that exists due to
compressor operation. After the refrigerant flows past an isolation valve, an in-line filter drier, and a sight glass/moisture indicator, it is directed over the motor by spray nozzles. The refrigerant collects in the bottom of the motor casing and is then
drained back into the evaporator through the motor refrigerant
drain line. The motor is protected by temperature thermistors
embedded in the stator windings. An increase in motor winding temperature past the motor override set point overrides the
temperature capacity control to hold, and if the motor temperature exceeds 10°F (5.5°C) above this set point, the controls
close the inlet guide vanes. If the temperature rises above
122°F (50°C), the compressor shuts down. See Fig. 6.
VFD Cooling System
The VFD enclosure is sealed from the atmosphere to protect electronics from outside contaminants. Refrigerant is routed through a
coil in the VFD enclosure to regulate enclosure temperature while
still maintaining a temperature high enough to prevent condensation. The VFD cooling line is branched off the motor cooling supply. The refrigerant is then drained back into the evaporator
through the motor/VFD drain line. Rectifier and inverter sections
are air-cooled and protected by temperature sensors embedded in
the inverter. An increase in inverter temperature past the override
set point overrides the temperature capacity control to hold, and if
the temperature exceeds 10°F (5.5°C) above this set point, the
controls close the inlet guide vanes. If the IGBT temperature rises
above 144°F (80°C), the compressor shuts down. See Fig. 6.

VFD
All 19DV units are equipped with a VFD to operate the centrifugal semi-hermetic compressor motor. The VFD and control panel are the main field wiring interfaces for the installing contractor. The VFD and control panel are mounted on the chiller. See
Manufacturer VFD specific information and VFD schematics.
VFD model 32VS is designed to operate in an ambient range of
up to 104°F (40°C). The drive has two control circuit boards.
The Digital Control Interface Board (DCIB) controls the fans for
cooling operation, controls insulated-gage bipolar transistors
(IGBTs), measures three phase line current, controls temperature
input and cooling solenoid, controls outputs for pilot relays, and
controls communication with HMI controller.
The High Voltage Interface Board (HVIB) steps down incoming voltage to 24 VAC and sends this to the DCIB for monitoring. The HVIB measures DC Bus voltage, controls the precharge circuit, and controls SCR gating. It contains watchdog
LED to confirm DC Bus potential is depleted.
If the drive needs to be removed, use the 4 lifting lugs. See Fig. 7.
A 32VS 850A weighs approximately 1500 lbs. The drive is compatible with the Network Service Tool V (NSTV) for diagnostics.
Purge System
The purge system is located under the condenser. See Fig. 8. It has
two gas inlets coming from condenser and compressor. When
chiller is running, the condenser line is active/open and non-condensable gas is pulled out from condenser; when chiller is idle the
compressor line is active and non-condensables are pulled out
from compressor volute. This is implemented due to non-condensable gas density being less than refrigerant and therefore it will accumulate at the highest point when chiller is not running.
In the purge tank the purge gas is cooled by a separate integral
R-134a cooling system. The cooling system consists of an
compressor, an air cooled condenser coil, an expansion valve,
and a cooling coil in purge tank. Cooling the purge gas results
in condensation of R-1233zd(E) vapor as it touches the coil, resulting in a vacuum with the result that more refrigerant is
pushed to the coil. As the purge tank fills up with refrigerant it
will be drained through the purge drain to the refrigerant pump
assembly. See Fig. 9.

Non-condensables that come into contact with the cold coil in
the purge tank will not condense and will accumulate at the top
of the purge tank, raising the pressure and reducing the flow of
refrigerant vapor. When the controls sense that there is sufficient non-condensable gas in the purge tank, the control will
open the pumpout valve, activate the purge evacuation pump,
and force the gas through the active carbon filters. To capture
any remaining refrigerant the gas is routed through two active
carbon filters that will absorb the refrigerant. As the carbon filters become saturated the system will regenerate the filters by
applying heat to the filters while under vacuum and then
disperse the regenerated refrigerant back to the evaporator
while releasing the non-condensables to atmosphere.
The 19DV purge control is automatic. Purge control should be
active when purge inlet temperature (evaporator refrigerant liquid temp when chiller compressor OFF or condenser saturated
temperature when chiller compressor ON) is greater than purge
active temperature set point (65°F default [18.3°C)].
If chiller compressor is running, condenser solenoid valve
should be opened to purge refrigerant from condenser.
If chiller compressor is not running, open the compressor solenoid valve to purge refrigerant from compressor. If Purge
Comp Suction Temp is less than purge compressor off temp
(default to 4°F [–15.5°C]) and the refrigerant level flag is ON,
close compressor solenoid valve and condenser solenoid valve,
and open pump out solenoid valve. Purge vent valve and purge
vacuum pump shall be kept ON for about 10s. After 10s discharge, pump out solenoid valve, purge vent valve, and purge
vacuum pump shall be kept OFF. Condenser solenoid valve
shall be opened if chiller compressor is running or compressor
solenoid valve shall be opened if chiller compressor is not running. After 10s discharge, it will start 20s delay. Then, check
purge compressor suction temperature again; if it is less than
6°F (–14°C), it will continue cycle as before.
If refrigerant level in the purge tank is high (both PGLE_HI
and PGLE_LO are ON), or purge compressor suction temperature is less than 12°F (–11°C) and PGLE_LO is ON, then
drainage solenoid valve should be opened to drain refrigerant
from purge tank to evaporator (open CV1, SV04, SV01, SV02
when chiller is off, open SV04, SV01 when chiller is on). After
PGLE_LO is OFF, keep drain process for another 1s, then set
the refrigerant level flag to ON. If purge level in the purge tank
is low (both PGLE_HI and PGLE_LO are OFF), drainage solenoid valve should be closed.
If pump out solenoid valve is accumulated ON for 100 minutes,
purge system should do regeneration process for reg_tim minutes
(default = 120 minutes – 19DV Configuration Menu), regardless
whether purge is active. When regeneration process is active, the
Purge Regeneration Valve and Purge Heater should be on for
reg_tim minutes, purge vacuum pump should be on for 3 minutes
and then 10 minutes off, alternating during reg_tim minutes.
Upon regeneration completion, purge system will wait for another 4 hours to let carbon filter cool down before it will operate normally.
WARNING
The main circuit breaker (if equipped) on the front of the
starter disconnects the main motor power only. Power may
be still energized for other circuits. Always check wiring
diagrams before initiating any work on the chiller and follow applicable lock-out/tag-out procedures. Failure to disconnect power will result in personal injury.
CONTROLS
Definitions
ANALOG SIGNAL
An analog signal varies in proportion to the monitored source. It
quantifies values between operating limits. (Example: A temperature sensor is an analog device because its resistance changes in proportion to the temperature, generating many values.)
DISCRETE SIGNAL
A discrete signal is a 2-position representation of the value of a
monitored source. (Example: A switch produces a discrete signal indicating whether a value is above or below a set point or
boundary by generating an on/off, high/low, or open/closed
signal.)
General
The 19DV centrifugal liquid chiller contains a microprocessorbased control center that monitors and controls all operations
of the chiller. The microprocessor control system matches the
cooling capacity of the chiller to the cooling load while providing state-of-the-art chiller protection. The system controls
cooling load within the set point plus the deadband by sensing
the leaving chilled water or brine temperature and regulating
the inlet guide vanes and compressor speed. The guide vane is
a variable flow pre-whirl assembly that controls the refrigeration effect in the evaporator by regulating the amount of refrigerant vapor flow into the compressor. An increase in guide
vane opening increases capacity. A decrease in guide vane
opening decreases capacity. The microprocessor-based control
center protects the chiller by monitoring the digital and analog
inputs and executing capacity overrides or safety shutdowns, if
required. The variable frequency drive (VFD) allows compressor start-up and capacity control by modulating the motor frequency based on the operating condition.
PIC6 System Components
The chiller control system is called the PIC6 (Product Integrated
Control 6). See Table 1. As with previous PIC versions, the PIC6
system controls the operation of the chiller by monitoring all operating conditions. The PIC6 control system can diagnose a
problem and let the operator know what the problem is and what
to check. It positions the guide vanes and VFD speed to maintain
leaving chilled water temperature. It controls the refrigerant
pump providing compressor bearing lubrication and can interface with auxiliary equipment such as pumps and cooling tower
fans to turn them on when required. It continually checks all
safeties to prevent any unsafe operating condition. It regulates
the envelope control valve for stabilized aerodynamic operation,
if installed. The PIC6 controls offer an operator trending function to help the operator monitor the chiller status more easily
and for critical compressor motor protection. The PIC6 system
provides open protocols to support the competitive BMS system
and can be integrated into Carrier’s Lifecycle System Management for remote monitoring and data management.

START-UP/SHUTDOWN/
RECYCLE SEQUENCE
Local Start/Stop Control
Local start-up (or manual start-up) is initiated by pressing the
gray Start/Stop icon on the HMI interface. See Fig. 10.
Fig. 10 — Chiller Start/Stop Icon
This initiates the PIC6 starting sequence by displaying the list of
operating modes. Press Local On to initiate start-up. See Fig. 11.
Fig. 11 — Local On
Prior to start-up the start-to-start timer and the stop-to-start
timer must have elapsed and all alarms must be cleared (see
Troubleshooting Guide section).
When start-up is initiated the status screen displays the start-up
progress and the Start/Stop icon blinks green.
Once local start-up begins, the PIC6 control system performs a
series of prestart tests to verify that all prestart alerts and safeties are within acceptable limits. Table 2 shows appropriate
Prestart Alerts/Alarms conditions. If a test is not successful, the
start-up is delayed or aborted. If the tests are successful, the
start-up will be in progress and the COMPRESSOR RUN
STATUS will be “Startup.” The control will then energize the
chilled water/brine pump relay.
Five seconds later, the condenser pump relay energizes. Thirty
seconds later the PIC6 control system monitors the chilled water
and condenser water flow devices and waits until the WATERFLOW VERIFY TIME (operator-configured, default 5 minutes)
expires to confirm flow. After flow is verified, the chilled water
temperature is compared to CONTROL POINT plus 1/2CHILLED WATER DEADBAND. If the temperature is less than
or equal to this value, the PIC6 control system turns off the condenser pump relay and goes into a Recycle mode.
If the water/brine temperature is high enough, the start-up sequence continues and checks the guide vane position. If the
guide vanes are more than 4% open, the start-up waits until the
PIC6 control system closes the vanes. If the vanes are closed
and the refrigerant pump pressure difference is less than
2.5 psid (17.2 kPa), the refrigerant pump relay energizes. The
PIC6 control system then waits until the refrigerant pressure
(REF PRESS VERIFY TIME, operator-configured, default of
40 seconds) reaches 12 psid (82.7 kPa). After refrigerant pressure is verified, if high side float chamber has adequate liquid
level, refrigerant pump will be kept ON for 20 seconds for prelube; if not, refrigerant pump will be kept ON pumping refrigerant from evaporator to the high side float chamber until liquid level is satisfied. Upon pre-lube satisfied the compressor
start relay is energized.
Compressor ontime and service ontime timers start, and the
compressor STARTS IN 12 HOURS counter and the number of
starts over a 12-hour period counter advance by one.
Failure to verify any of the requirements up to this point will
result in the PIC6 control system aborting the start and displaying the applicable prestart alert alarm state number near the
bottom of the home screen on the HMI panel. A prestart failure
does not advance the STARTS IN 12 HOURS counter. Any failure after the 1CR relay has energized results in a safety shutdown, advances the starts in 12 hours counter by one, and displays the applicable shutdown status on the display.
The minimum time to complete the entire prestart sequence is
approximately 185 seconds. See Fig. 12 for normal start-up
timing sequence. See Table 2 for a list of prestart checks.
Lubrication Control
For the 19DV system, refrigerant is used to lubricate and cool
the compressor bearings. The refrigerant lubrication system includes refrigerant pump pressure transducers, control valves,
filters, liquid level switch and inhibitor reclaim system. See
Fig. 13 for the lube assembly schematic.
When the chiller is powered on, the controller will maintain the
liquid level in the condenser float chamber. If liquid level is
low, refrigerant will be pumped from evaporator to the condenser high side float chamber until the liquid level switch is
ON. Once the operator pushes the start button, the system will
go into prestart check process.
When Refrigerant Pump request is on for pre-lube and the bearing
pressure difference is OK for start, if evaporator temperature plus
leaving condenser water temperature is less than 10°F (–12.2°C),
pump refrigerant from evaporator to condenser until compressor is
ON. Else, if evaporator temperature plus leaving condenser water
is equal or larger than 10°F (–12.2°C), pump refrigerant from condenser to bearing and drain to condenser until compressor is ON.
During pre-lubrication, if the bearing pressure difference is less
than 8 psid (55.2 kPa) for 8 seconds continuously, the chiller will
shut down. To proceed to start-up, the bearing pressure difference
needs to exceed 12 psid (82.7 kPa) during the pressure verification
time. The compressor will run after the pre-lubrication process.
Refrigerant from the high side condenser float chamber will be
pumped to bearings and will drain to evaporator. When chiller
shuts down, the condenser control valve will be opened and the refrigerant evaporator control valve will open (3-way valve will
connect evaporator to pump suction). This position allows refrigerant to be pumped from evaporator to condenser high side float
chamber. When the chiller is OFF, always open evaporator control
valve. While running, if compressor is ON and the bearing pressure difference is less than 10 psid (68.9 kPa) for 10 seconds continuously, the chiller will shut down.

Shutdown
Unit Start/Stop
The unit can be stopped locally using the HMI by pressing the
green Start/Stop icon . The Unit Start/Stop screen is displayed. Press Confirm Stop (see Fig. 14).
Fig. 14 — Confirm Stop
Chiller shutdown begins if any of the following occurs:
•Local OFF button is pressed
•A recycle condition is present
•The time schedule has gone into unoccupied mode when in
Network or Local Schedule control mode
•The chiller protective limit has been reached and chiller is
in alarm
•The start/stop status (CHIL_S_S) is overridden to stop
from the network when in Network mode
If the chiller is normally shut down from running, soft stop shutdown will be performed. The soft stop feature closes the guide
vanes of the compressor automatically if a non-alarm stop signal
occurs before the compressor motor is de-energized.
Any time the compressor is directed to stop (except in the cases
of a fault shutdown), the guide vanes are directed to close and
VFD is directed to minimum speed for variable speed compressor, and the compressor shuts off when any of the following is true:
•PERCENT LOAD CURRENT (%) drops below the SOFT
STOP AMPS THRESHOLD
•ACTUAL GUIDE VANE OPENING drops below 4%
•4 minutes have elapsed after initializing stop.
When any one of the above conditions is true, the shutdown sequence stops the compressor by deactivating the compressor
start relay. Then the guide vane shall be closed and stay at the
fully closed position, the refrigerant pump relay will be turned
off after 120 seconds post lube, and the chilled water/brine
pump and condenser water pump will be shut down.

Remove Shipping Packaging
Remove any packaging material from the unit, VFD, and control
panels. Inspect the unit for damage that occurred during shipping
or installation. Document any damage that was identified.
Tighten All Gasketed Joints
Gaskets normally relax by the time the chiller arrives at the
jobsite. Tighten all gasketed joints to ensure a leak-tight chiller
(does not apply to refrigerant joints covered by factory insulation). Gasketed joints (excluding O-rings) may include joints at
some or all of the following:
•Waterbox covers
•Compressor first suction elbow flanges (at compressor and
at the evaporator)
•Compressor secondary suction flanges (at compressor and
low side float chamber)
•Compressor discharge flange
•Evaporator inlet line spacer (both sides)
•Envelope control flange (both sides of valve)
•ICP piping flange
•High and low side float chamber covers
See Tables 3 and 4 for bolt torque requirements.
Check Chiller Tightness
Figure 16 outlines the proper sequence and procedures for leak
testing.
The 19DV chillers are shipped without the refrigerant charge.
The chiller is shipped with a 15 psig (103 kPa) dry nitrogenholding charge.
If the 15 psig factory nitrogen charge is present, then release pressure and proceed to pull a deep vacuum on the unit. Vacuum
should be pulled through 1
tom of first stage side of the evaporator. Upon completion of pulling the required vacuum the chiller can be charged with refrigerant. The
1
/
-in. charging valve on top of the evaporator shell should
2
1
/
-in. female NPT located under bot-
2
15
be used for charging by lifting charge cylinder and gravity feed
into the evaporator. The chiller should be charged with refrigerant.
If the holding charge is not present, the chiller must be examined
for leaks. To test for leaks add a small refrigerant holding charge to
unit and pressurize with nitrogen up to 20 psig to determine and
correct the origin of the leak. Use an electronic leak detector to
check all flanges and solder joints after the chiller is pressurized. If
the 15 psig factory nitrogen charge is present, then release pressure and proceed to pull a vacuum on the unit. The chiller should
Table 3 — Bolt Torque Requirements, Foot Pounds
be charged with refrigerant. Follow the leak test chiller procedure
(page 18).
If the chiller is spring isolated, keep all springs blocked in both
directions to prevent possible piping stress and damage during
the transfer of refrigerant from vessel to vessel during the leak
test process, or any time refrigerant is being transferred. Adjust
the springs when the refrigerant is in operating condition and
the water circuits are full. Any piping weights are to be separately supported.

less than 15 psig holding charge or units

Refrigerant Tracer
Carrier recommends the use of an environmentally acceptable
refrigerant tracer for leak testing with an electronic refrigerant
detector.
Ultrasonic leak detectors can also be used if the chiller is under
pressure.
WARNING
Do not use air or oxygen as a means of pressurizing the
chiller. Mixtures of HFO R-1233zd(E) and air at elevated
pressure can undergo combustion, resulting in equipment
damage and possible personal injury.
Leak Test Chiller
Due to regulations regarding refrigerant emissions and the difficulties associated with separating contaminants from the refrigerant, Carrier recommends the following leak test procedure.
Refer to Table 5 for refrigerant pressure/temperature values.
1.If the pressure readings are normal for the chiller condition:
a. Evacuate the charge from the vessels, if present.
b. Raise the chiller pressure, if necessary, by adding
refrigerant until pressure is at the equivalent saturated
pressure for the surrounding temperature.
CAUTION
Never charge liquid refrigerant into the chiller if the pressure in the chiller is less than 15 in. Hg (vac) / 380 mm Hg
(vac) for HFO R-1233zd(E). Charge as a gas only, with the
evaporator and condenser pumps running, until this pressure is reached, using PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT (located
in the Maintenance menu) and END LOCKOUT mode on
the PIC6 control interface. Flashing of liquid refrigerant at
low pressures can cause tube freeze-up and considerable
damage.
c. Leak test chiller as outlined in Steps 3 to 7.
2.If the pressure readings are abnormal for the chiller condition:
a. Prepare to leak test chiller.
b. For cooling machines, check for leaks by connecting a
nitrogen bottle with added tracer to allow for electronic leak detection if possible; otherwise, soap bubble solution is to be used. Raise the pressure to
20 psig (138 kPa). If electronic leak detector is avail-
able, ensure small amount of tracer material is added.
c. Plainly mark any leaks that are found.
d. Release the pressure in the system.
e. Repair all leaks.
f. Retest the joints that were repaired.
NOTE: Suggested test pressure is 20 psig (138 kPa); maximum allowable test pressure 45 psig (310 kPa).
3.Check the chiller carefully with an electronic leak detector
or soap bubble solution.
4.Leak Determination — If an electronic leak detector indicates a leak, use a soap bubble solution, if possible, to confirm. Total all leak rates for the entire chiller. Leakage at
rates greater than 0.1% of the total charge per year should
be repaired. Local regulation governs the requirements for
when repair of leaks become mandatory. Note the total
chiller leak rate as well as the full charge amount on the
start-up report.
5.If no leak is found during the initial start-up procedures,
complete the transfer of refrigerant gas from the storage
tank to the chiller. Recover any gas used for leak detection
purposes as required per local jurisdiction.
6.If no leak is found after a retest:
a. Perform a standing vacuum test as outlined in the
Standing Vacuum Test section, below.
b. If the chiller fails the standing vacuum test, repeat
leak test and repair.
c. If the chiller passes the standing vacuum test, dehy-
drate the chiller. Follow the procedure in the Chiller
Dehydration section, page 20. Charge the chiller with
refrigerant.
7.If the chiller is opened to the atmosphere for an extended
period, evacuate it before repeating the leak test. A nitrogen purge should be maintained to reduce the potential for
corrosion when open to the atmosphere.
NOTE: Alternate optional leak testing method is to isolate the water circuits and use a portable water heater to raise the temperature
of the evaporator and condenser water circuits to approximately
100°F (38°C) which corresponds to a pressure of approximately
14.40 psig (99.3 kPag).
Standing Vacuum Test
When performing the standing vacuum test or chiller dehydration, use a manometer or a wet bulb indicator. Dial gages cannot indicate the small amount of acceptable leakage during a
short period of time.
1.Attach an absolute pressure manometer or wet bulb indicator to the chiller.
2.Evacuate the vessel to at least 18 in. Hg vac (41 kPa [abs]),
using a vacuum pump or a pumpout unit.
3.Valve off the pump to hold the vacuum and record the
manometer or indicator reading.
a. If the leakage rate is less than 0.05 in. Hg (0.17 kPa
in 24 hours, the chiller is sufficiently tight.
b. If the leakage rate exceeds 0.05 in. Hg (0.17 kPa)
24 hours, re-pressurize the vessel and test for leaks.
4. Repair the leak, retest, and proceed with dehydration.

Check the Installation
Use the following instructions to verify the condition of the
installation. Note that the contractor should not apply power
to the chiller before the Carrier Start-up Technician arrives at
the job site.
1.Inspect the water piping to the chiller to confirm it is correct. Confirm it is adequately supported from the chiller
and there are isolation valves installed.
2.Turn off, lock out, and tag the input power to the drive.
3.Wait a minimum of 5 minutes for the DC bus to discharge.
4.All wiring should be installed in conformance with the
applicable local, national, and international codes (e.g.,
NEC/CSA).
5.Remove any debris, such as metal shavings, from the
enclosure.
6.Check that there is adequate clearance around the
machine.
7.Verify that the wiring to the terminal strip and the power
terminals is correct and that no external voltage potential
is connected to any of the inputs.
8.Verify that all of the VFD power module circuit board connectors are fully engaged and taped in place.
9.Check that the field-installed wire size is within terminal
specifications and that the wires are tightened properly and
adequately supported.
10. Check that specified branch circuit protection is installed
and correctly rated.
11. Check that the incoming power is within ±10% of chiller
nameplate voltage.
12. Verify that a properly sized ground wire is installed and a
suitable earth ground is used. Check for and eliminate any
grounds between the power leads. Verify that all ground
leads are unbroken to the power supply. Only a wye secondary power supply transformer with solidly grounded
neutral is acceptable as a power supply to this chiller. If a
ground wire is not present or the transformer secondary is
any other type than a wye with solidly grounded delta,
please contact the Technical Service Manager or Service
Engineering.
Inspect Wiring
WARNING
Do not check the voltage supply without proper equipment
and precautions. Serious personal injury may result. Follow
power company recommendations.
CAUTION
Do not apply any kind of test voltage, even for a rotation
check, if the chiller is under a dehydration vacuum. Insulation breakdown and serious damage may result.
WARNING
Do not apply power unless a qualified Carrier technician is
present. Serious personal injury may result.
1.Examine the wiring for conformance to the job wiring diagrams and all applicable electrical codes.
2.Ensure that the VFD is protected by fused disconnects or
circuit breakers as per electrical code.
3.Compare the ampere rating on the VFD nameplate to rating on the compressor nameplate.
4.Check that there is adequate service clearance around the
machine.
5.Check that specified branch circuit protection is installed
and correctly rated.
6.Ensure there is capability to turn off, lock out, and tag the
input power to the drive.
7.If power is applied to the drive then wait a minimum of
5 minutes for the DC bus to discharge and check DC bus
voltage prior to starting any work.
8.Inspect the control panels and VFD enclosure to ensure
that the contractor has used the knockouts or provided top
hat to feed the wires into the enclosures. Generally, wiring
into the top of the enclosures can allow debris to fall into
the enclosures. Clean and inspect the interior of the power
panel and VFD enclosure if this has occurred. If metal particulate has fallen into the rectifier or inverter assemblies
contact Service Engineering or your Technical Service
Manager for further instructions.
9.Check that the incoming power is within ±10% of chiller
nameplate voltage.
10. Check that the room environmental conditions match the
chiller enclosure type.
11. Ensure the customer’s contractor has verified proper operation of the pumps, cooling tower fans, and associated
auxiliary equipment. This includes ensuring motors are
properly lubricated and have proper electrical supply and
proper rotation. Carrier must maintain pump control for
freeze protection algorithm.
12. Verify that the incoming source does not exceed the SCCR
(short circuit current rating) of the equipment marking.
13. Ensure all electrical equipment and controls are properly
grounded in accordance with the job drawings, certified
drawings, and all applicable electrical codes.
CAUTION
Disconnect leads to VFD prior to megohm test. The voltage
generated from the tester can damage VFD components.
Test #1: For 3-lead motor, tie terminals 1, 2, and 3 together and
test between the group and ground.
1.With the tester connected to the motor leads, take 10-second
and 60-second megohm readings.
2.Divide the 60-second resistance reading by the 10-second
reading. The ratio, or polarization index, must be one or
higher. Both the 10 and 60-second readings must be at
least 50 megohms. If the readings on a field-installed
starter are unsatisfactory, repeat the test at the motor with
the power leads disconnected. Satisfactory readings in this
second test indicate the fault is in the power leads.
Test #2: Only perform this test if the unit has been disassembled at the job site, if the starter has been removed, or during
annual maintenance.
Perform a megohm test from each terminal to ground. The
megohm value should be greater than 20 megohm. Note that if
a megohm test is performed between the terminals it will show
a direct short and is not a valid test because of the 3 terminal
motor internal delta configuration.
Chiller Dehydration
Dehydration is recommended if the chiller has been open for a
considerable period of time, if the chiller is known to contain
moisture, or if there has been a complete loss of chiller holding
charge or refrigerant pressure.
20
CAUTION
Do not start or megohm-test the compressor motor or any
other pump motor, even for a rotation check, if the chiller is
under dehydration vacuum. Insulation breakdown and severe damage may result.
WARNING
Power to the motor and VFD must be disconnected by an isolation switch before placing the machine under a vacuum. To
be safe, isolate input power before evacuating the chiller if you
are not sure if there are live leads to the hermetic motor.
Dehydration can be done at room temperatures. Using a cold
trap (Fig. 17) may substantially reduce the time required to complete the dehydration and is recommended should the unit be exposed to liquid moisture. The higher the room temperature, the
faster dehydration takes place. At low room temperatures, a very
deep vacuum is required to boil off any moisture and heating of
the water in the water circuits of the chiller to approximately
100°F (38°C) may be required.
pockets of moisture can turn into ice. The slow rate of evaporation (sublimation) of ice at these low temperatures and
pressures greatly increases dehydration time.
6.Valve off the vacuum pump, stop the pump, and record the
instrument reading.
7.After a 2-hour wait, take another instrument reading. If the
reading has not changed, dehydration is complete. If the
reading indicates vacuum loss, repeat Steps 4 and 5.
8.If the reading continues to change after several attempts,
perform a leak test (maximum 45 psig [310 kPa] pressure).
Locate and repair the leak, and repeat dehydration.
9.Once dehydration is complete, the evacuation process can
continue. The final vacuum prior to charging the unit with
refrigerant should in all cases be 29.9 in. Hg (500 microns,
0.07 kPa [abs]) or less.
Inspect Water Piping
Refer to piping diagrams provided in the certified drawings
and the piping instructions in the 19DV Installation Instructions manual. Inspect the piping to the evaporator and condenser. Be sure that the flow directions are correct and that all piping specifications have been met.
Piping systems must be properly vented with no stress on waterbox nozzles and covers. Water flows through the evaporator
and condenser must meet job requirements. Measure the pressure drop across the evaporator and the condenser.
Fig. 17 — Dehydration Cold Trap
Perform dehydration as follows:
1.Connect a high capacity vacuum pump (5 cfm [.002 m
or larger is recommended) to the refrigerant vacuum/
charging valve (Fig. 2). Tubing from the pump to the
chiller should be as short in length with a minimum diameter of 0.5 in. (13 mm) and as large in diameter as possible
to provide least resistance to gas flow.
2.Use an absolute pressure manometer or a electronic
micron gage to measure the vacuum. Open the shutoff
valve to the vacuum indicator only when taking a reading.
Leave the valve open for 3 minutes to allow the indicator
vacuum to equalize with the chiller vacuum.
3.If the entire chiller is to be dehydrated, open all isolation
valves (if present).
4.With the chiller ambient temperature at 60°F (15.6°C) or
higher, operate the vacuum pump until the manometer
reads 29.8 in. Hg (vac), –14.63 psig (–100.9 kPag), or a
vacuum indicator reads 35°F (1.7°C). Operate the pump
an additional 2 hours.
5.Do not apply a greater vacuum than 29.82 in. Hg vac
(757.4 mm Hg) or go below 33°F (0.56°C) on the wet bulb
vacuum indicator. At this temperature and pressure, isolated

CAUTION
Water must be within design limits, clean, and treated to ensure proper chiller performance and to reduce the potential of
tube damage due to corrosion, scaling, or erosion. Carrier assumes no responsibility for chiller damage resulting from untreated or improperly treated water.
Check Safety Valves
Be sure safety valves have been piped to the outdoors in compliance with the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15
and applicable local safety codes. Piping connections must allow for access to the valve mechanism for periodic inspection
and leak testing.
The standard 19DV relief devices are set to relieve at 57 psig
(393 kPa) chiller design pressure. To avoid potential rupture
the chiller should never be pressurized above 45 psig (310 kPa)
for any testing purpose.
Check Purge Compressor Operation
Enter Quick Test menu (under Main Menu) and select “Quick
Test Purge Comp.” Connect a pressure gage to purge compressor inlet Schrader valve (suction is top fitting).
The purge system is shown in Fig. 18. The reading should be
about 0 ± 0.25 psig (–15.6 to –14.3°F) [0 ± 1.724 kPa (–26.5 to
–25.7°C)]. If not, adjust the purge expansion valve in the
R-134a purge compressor circuit until the reading is correct.
NOTE: This step should only be performed if the purge is not
working correctly. The installation of the gage will result in a loss
of refrigerant and the charge of R-134a is a very small quantity affecting the operation of the purge. The charge should be weighed
into this circuit using a charging cylinder or similar device.

Ground Fault Troubleshooting
Follow this procedure only if ground faults are declared by the
chiller controls. Test the chiller compressor motor and its power lead insulation resistance with a 500-v insulation tester such
as a megohmmeter.
1.Open the VFD main disconnect switch and follow lockout/
tagout rules.
CAUTION
The motor leads must be disconnected from the VFD before an insulation test is performed. The voltage generated
from the tester can damage the VFD.
2.Perform test #1: For 3-lead motor, tie terminals 1, 2, and 3
together and test between the group and ground.
a. With the tester connected to the motor leads, take 10-
second and 60-second megohm readings.
b. Divide the 60-second resistance reading by the 10-
second reading. The ratio, or polarization index, must
be one or higher. Both the 10 and 60-second readings
must be at least 50 megohms. If the readings are
SUCTION
SCHRADER
VALVE
unsatisfactory, repeat the test at the motor with the
power leads disconnected. Satisfactory readings in
this second test indicate the fault is in the power leads.
3.Perform test #2: Only perform this test if the unit has been
disassembled at the job site, if the starter has been
removed, or during annual maintenance.
Perform a megohm test from each terminal to ground. The
megohm value should be greater than 20 megohm. Note
that if a megohm test is performed between the terminals it
will show a direct short and is not a valid test because of
the 3 terminal motor internal delta configuration.

WARNING
The main disconnect on the starter front panel may not deenergize all internal circuits. Open all internal and remote
disconnects before servicing the starter. Failure to follow this
procedure may result in personal injury by electric shock.
Inhibitor Charge
The inhibitor charge is included with the 19DV unit supplied
from the factory. No action associated with inhibitor is required
unless a new refrigerant charge is added or the inhibitor has
been distilled out of the existing refrigerant charge.
If the unit needs to be disassembled, add 1% (mass of total refrigerant charge) of inhibitor PP23BZ110001 (part number is for
1 Gal. Inhibitor Density is 8.2202 lb/Gal [0.985 Kg/L]). For example, see Tables 8 and 9; sum up the evaporator, condenser,
and economizer charge; take 1% of total charge; then calculate
required inhibitor volume. For a G20 evaporator with G22 condenser this yields: (700+413+342)lb*0.01/(8.2202 lb/Gal)=1.77
Gal (1 Gal + 99 oz) [6.70 L]. See Fig. 19 for field inhibitor addition assuming compressor running and negative evaporator pressure. A dose of Carrier inhibitor is supplied with the unit by the
factory.
Suggested Procedure:
1.Ensure availability of appropriate PPE such as protective
gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection
and wash throughly after handling.
2.If new inhibitor charge is required, a refrigerant charge hose
can be used for this purpose or a hard pipe creating a funnel

Software Configuration
WARNING
Do not operate the chiller before the control configurations
have been checked and a Calibration and Control Test has
been satisfactorily completed. Protection by safety controls
cannot be assumed until all control configurations have
been confirmed.
See the 19DV with PIC6 Controls Operation and Troubleshooting manual for instructions on using the PIC6 interface to configure the 19DV unit. As the unit is configured, all configuration
settings should be written down. A log, such as the one shown
starting on page CL-1, provides a list for configuration values.
Charge Unit with Refrigerant
IMPORTANT: Turn on the chilled water and condenser water
pumps to prevent freezing.
.
CAUTION
Always operate the condenser and chilled water pumps
whenever charging, transferring, or removing refrigerant
from the chiller. Always confirm that water flow is established. Failure to follow this procedure may result in equipment damage.
CAUTION
The transfer, addition, or removal of refrigerant in spring
isolated chillers may place severe stress on external piping
if springs have not been blocked in both up and down directions. Failure to block springs in both up and down directions could result in severe personal injury and equipment
damage.
CAUTION
Always operate the condenser and chilled water pumps
during charging operations to prevent freeze-ups. Damage
could result to equipment if condenser and chilled water
pumps are not operated during pumpdown or charging.
WARNING
Always charge refrigerant gas into unit until pressure exceeds
water freeze temperature using PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT
(located in the Maintenance menu) and TERMINATE LOCKOUT mode on the PIC6. Evaporator and condenser water
pumps must be running to prevent tube freezing.
For R-1233zd(E) water freeze point is exceeded at -15 in. Hg
(-51 kPa).

23
All 19DV units are field charged. Charge the unit from refrigerant cylinders. Use Tables 8 and 9 to find expected approximate
charge by adding evaporator and condenser charge together. Refer to unit nameplate and E-Cat output for certified values.
Prior to charging ensure the following:
1.Standing vacuum test completed.
2.Only initiate refrigerant charging into a deep vacuum.
3.Adequate refrigerant supply is available as per unit nameplate.
CAUTION
Do not apply power to the VFD or motor when in a dehydration vacuum because it will result in equipment damage.
charging gas until the pressure is greater than the above saturation pressure temperature to avoid refrigerant flashing and potential tube freezing. Once required pressure is reached, switch
over to charge liquid either by lifting refrigerant cylinder above
charging valve to allow for gravity feed or, if charge is isolated
in storage tank, by using pumpout equipment suited for low
pressure refrigerant.
After the machine has been started, adjust charge for optimum
machine performance. Operate the chiller at design load and
then add or remove refrigerant slowly until the difference between the leaving chilled water temperature and the evaporator
refrigerant temperature reaches design conditions or becomes a
minimum. Do not overcharge.
Use the evaporator sight glass (see Fig. 20) to determine the
correct refrigerant at all times. During steady state operation at
full load, the boiling pool tubes under compressor suction
