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
installed and functioning before operating any chiller.
RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH by electrocution. High
voltage is present on motor leads even though the motor is
not running when a solid-state or wye-delta mechanical
starter is used. 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 oil and refrigerant under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective gloves and goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Recover refrigerant to relieve all pressure from sys-
tem using both high-pressure and low pressure ports.
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. Use a pan to catch
any oil that may come out of the lines and as a gage
for how much oil to add to the system.
e. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when nec-
essary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch flame.
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, starters, or oil heater until you are
sure ALL POWER IS OFF and no residual voltage can
leak from capacitors or solid-state components.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG electrical circuits during servicing. IF WORK IS INTERRUPTED, confirm that all circuits are deenergized 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 over pressure can result. When it is
necessary to heat refrigerant, use only warm (110 F [43 C])
water.
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.

WARNING
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 under pressure or while chiller is running.
Be sure pressure is at 0 psig (0 kPa) before breaking any
refrigerant connection.
CAREFULLY INSPECT all relief valves, 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 re-use compressor oil or any oil that has been
exposed to the atmosphere. Dispose of oil per local codes
and regulations.
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 oil contamination when timely repairs cannot be
completed.
Prior to initial start-up of the 19XR 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
19XR Two-Stage High-Efficiency Semi-Hermetic Centrifugal
Liquid Chillers Controls Operation and Troubleshooting manual that describes PIC 5 controls in detail.
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.
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 PIC 5 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 61000-2/3 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.
CAUTION
Do NOT punch holes or drill into the top surface of the
starter enclosure for field wiring. Knockouts are provided
for field wiring connections.
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.
CAUTION
WHEN FLUSHING THE WATER SYSTEMS isolate the
chiller from the water circuits to prevent damage to the heat
exchanger tubes.

The information
System Components — The components include the
cooler and condenser heat exchangers in separate vessels,
motor-compressor, lubrication package, control panel, economizer, and motor starter. All connections from pressure vessels
have external threads to enable each component to be pressure
tested with a threaded pipe cap during factory assembly.
Cooler — This vessel (also known as the evaporator) is lo-
cated underneath the compressor. The cooler is maintained at
lower temperature/pressure so evaporating refrigerant can remove heat from water flowing through its internal tubes.
Condenser — The condenser operates at a higher tem-
perature/pressure than the cooler and has water flowing
through its internal tubes in order to remove heat from the refrigerant.
Motor-Compressor — This component maintains sys-
tem temperature and pressure differences and moves the heatcarrying refrigerant from the cooler to the condenser. The
19XR two-stage frame 6 and frame 7 compressors are twostage compressors with two impellers.
Control Panel — The control panel is the user interface
for controlling the chiller. It regulates the chiller’s capacity as
required to maintain proper leaving chilled water temperature.
The control panel:
• registers cooler, condenser, and lubricating system
pressures
• shows chiller operating condition and alarm shutdown
conditions
• records the total chiller operating hours
• sequences chiller start, stop, and recycle under micropro-

sure to an intermediate level between the cooler 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 cooler. The energy removed
from the vaporized refrigerant in the economizer allows the
liquid refrigerant in the cooler to absorb more heat when it
evaporates and benefits the overall cooling efficiency cycle.
Free-Standing Starter — The starter allows for the
proper start and disconnect of electrical energy for the compressor-motor, oil pump, oil heater, and control panel.
The compressor continuously draws refrigerant vapor from
the cooler at a rate set by the amount of guide vane opening. As
the compressor suction reduces the pressure in the cooler, 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 cooler 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. Compression adds still more 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 refrigerant
passes through orifices into the FLASC (flash subcooler)
chamber. Since the FLASC chamber is at a lower pressure, part
of the liquid refrigerant flashes to vapor, thereby cooling the remaining liquid. The FLASC vapor is recondensed on the tubes
which are cooled by entering condenser water. The liquid
ISOLATION

drains into a high side float valve chamber between the FLASC
chamber 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. A
damper valve located on the economizer line to the compressor
acts as a pressure regulating device to stabilize low load, low
condensing pressure operating conditions. The damper will
back up gas flow and thereby raises the economizer pressure to
permit proper refrigerant flow through the economizer valve
during those conditions.
The cooled liquid left in the economizer flows through a
low side float valve and then into the cooler. The float valve
forms a liquid seal to keep vapor from entering the cooler. Liquid refrigerant passes through the low side valve into the cooler. The refrigerant is now at a temperature and pressure at
which the cycle began. Fig. 3 summarizes the refrigeration
cycle.

MOTOR AND OIL COOLING CYCLE
The motor and the lubricating oil are cooled by liquid refrigerant taken from the bottom of the condenser vessel (Fig. 3 and
4). 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, and a sight glass/
moisture indicator, the flow is split between the motor cooling
and oil cooling systems.
Flow to the motor cooling system passes through an orifice
and into the motor. Once past the orifice, the refrigerant 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 cooler through the motor refrigerant drain line. An orifice
(in the motor shell) maintains a higher pressure in the motor
shell than in the cooler. The motor is protected by a temperature sensor 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 rises 10 F (5.5 C) above this set point, the
controls close the inlet guide vanes. If the temperature rises
above the safety limit, the compressor shuts down.
Refrigerant that flows to the oil cooling system is regulated
by expansion valves. The expansion valves regulate flow into
the oil/refrigerant plate and frame-type heat exchanger (the oil
cooler in Fig. 3), and control oil temperature to the bearings.
The refrigerant leaving the oil cooler heat exchanger returns to
the chiller cooler.
LUBRICATION CYCLE
Summary —
up a package located partially in the transmission casing of the
compressor-motor assembly. The oil is pumped into a filter
assembly to remove foreign particles and is then forced into an
oil cooler heat exchanger where the oil is cooled to proper operational temperatures. After the oil cooler, part of the flow is
directed to the gears and the high speed shaft bearings; the remaining flow is directed to the motor shaft bearings. Oil drains
into the transmission oil sump to complete the cycle (Fig. 3 and
4).
The oil pump, oil filter, and oil cooler make
Details — Oil is charged into the lubrication system through
a hand valve. Two sight glasses in the oil reservoir permit oil
level observation. Normal oil level is between the middle of the
upper sight glass and the top of the lower sight glass when the
compressor is shut down. The oil level should be visible in at
least one of the 2 sight glasses during operation. Oil sump temperature is displayed on the HMI default screen. During compressor operation, the oil sump temperature ranges between
125 and 150 F (52 and 66 C).
The oil pump suction is fed from the oil reservoir. An oil
pressure relief valve maintains differential pressure in the system at the pump discharge. A range of 18 to 40 psid (124 to
172 kPad) is normal. This differential pressure can be read directly from the default HMI screen. The oil pump discharges
oil to the oil filter assembly. This filter can be closed to permit
removal of the filter without draining the entire oil system. The
oil is then piped to the oil cooler heat exchanger. The oil cooler
uses refrigerant from the condenser as the coolant. The refrigerant cools the oil to a temperature between 120 and 140 F (49
and 60 C).
As the oil leaves the oil cooler, it passes the oil pressure
transducer and the sensor for the refrigerant expansion valve on
the oil cooler. The oil is then divided. Part of the oil flows to the
thrust bearing, forward pinion bearing, and gear spray. The rest
of the oil lubricates the motor shaft bearings and the rear pinion
bearing. The oil temperature is measured in the bearing housing as it leaves the bearings. The oil then drains into the oil reservoir at the base of the compressor. The control measures the
temperature of the oil in the sump and maintains the temperature during shutdown. This temperature is read on the HMI default screen. See the Controls Operation and Troubleshooting
Manual for details.
During the chiller start-up, the oil pump is energized and
provides 40 seconds of lubrication to the bearings after pressure is verified before starting the compressor. During shutdown, the oil pump runs for 60 seconds to ensure lubrication as
the compressor coasts to a stop.
The oil pump is a gerotor-style pump with external filters.
A gerotor pump has two rotors, one is inside the other; their
center points are offset with respect to each other. This type of
pump provides a smooth continuous flow. It is also quieter than
other designs. See Fig. 5.
Bearings — The 19XR compressor assemblies include a
combination of radial bearings and thrust bearings. The low
speed shaft assembly is supported by two journal bearings located on each end of the low speed shaft. The bearing closer to
the bull gear includes a smaller babbitted thrust face, designed
to handle axial forces.
Oil Reclaim System — The oil reclaim system returns
oil lost from the compressor housing back to the oil reservoir
by recovering the oil from 2 areas on the chiller. The guide
vane housing is the primary area of recovery. Oil is also recovered by skimming it from the operating refrigerant level in the
cooler vessel.
PRIMARY OIL RECOVERY MODE — Oil is normally recovered through the guide vane housing on the chiller. This is
possible because oil is normally entrained with refrigerant in
the chiller. As the compressor pulls the refrigerant up from the
cooler into the guide vane housing to be compressed, the oil
normally drops out at this point and falls to the bottom of the
guide vane housing where it accumulates. Using discharge gas
pressure to power an eductor, the oil is drawn from the housing
and is discharged into the oil reservoir.
SECONDARY OIL RECOVERY METHOD — The secondary method of oil recovery is significant under light load
conditions, when the refrigerant going up to the compressor
suction does not have enough velocity to bring oil along. Under
these conditions, oil collects in a greater concentration at the
top level of the refrigerant in the cooler. Using discharge gas to
power eductors, this oil and refrigerant mixture is skimmed
from the side of the cooler and is then drawn up to the guide
vane housing. There is a filter in this line. Because the guide
vane housing pressure is much lower than the cooler pressure,
the refrigerant boils off, leaving the oil behind to be collected
by the primary oil recovery method.

Fig. 4 — 19XR Two-Stage Compressor Lubrication System
The 19XR chiller requires a motor starter to operate the centrifugal hermetic compressor motor, the oil pump, and various
auxiliary equipment components. The starter is the main field
wiring interface for the contractor.
See Carrier’s specification for specific starter requirements.
All starters must meet these specifications in order to properly
start and satisfy mechanical safety requirements.
It is possible that there are two separate circuit breakers inside the starter. These include (1) the main compressor motor
circuit breaker, and (2) a circuit breaker which provides power
to the chiller control panel. The latter is typically wired in parallel with the first so that power is provided to those services
when the main breaker is open. The disconnect switch on the
starter front cover is connected to the main breaker. Typically,
separate 3-phase power sources as per job requirements are
supplied to the control panel to power the oil pump, heater, and
controls.
The display on the front of the solid-state starter is useful for
troubleshooting and starter checkout. The display indicates:
• line voltage
• control voltage status
• power indication
• proper phasing for rotation
• start circuit energized
• ground fault
• current unbalance
•run state
The starter is further explained in the Check Starter section,
page 19.
Freestanding Medium Voltage VFD
(Optional) —
can be combined with a VFD (variable frequency drive). This
option is a freestanding, medium voltage current source drive
that does not require a transformer between the power source
and the drive. The drive meets IEEE-519 specifications.
For optimum efficiency, the 19XR chiller
WARNING
The main circuit breaker 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.
All starters must include a Carrier control module called the
Integrated Starter Module (ISM). This module controls and
monitors all aspects of the starter. See the Controls Operation
and Troubleshooting guide for additional ISM information.
Contact Carrier’s Replacement Component Division (RCD)
for replacement parts.
Solid-State Starter (Optional) — The 19XR chiller
may be equipped with a solid-state, reduced-voltage starter.
This starter’s primary function is to provide on-off control of
the compressor motor. This type of starter reduces the peak
starting torque, controls the motor inrush current, and decreases
mechanical shock. This capability is summed up by the phrase
“soft starting.” Consult E-Cat for full information about starter
offerings. The solid-state starter manufacturer’s name is located inside the starter access door.
A solid-state, reduced-voltage starter operates by reducing
the starting voltage. The starting torque of a motor at full voltage is typically 125% to 175% of the running torque. When the
voltage and the current are reduced at start-up, the starting
torque is reduced as well. The object is to reduce the starting
voltage to adjust the voltage necessary to develop the torque required to get the motor moving. The voltage is reduced by silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs). The voltage and current are
then ramped up in a desired period of time. Once full voltage is
reached, a bypass contactor is energized to bypass the SCRs.
WARNING
When voltage is supplied to the solid-state circuitry (CB1
is closed), the heat sinks in the starter as well as the wires
leading to the motor and the motor terminal are at line voltage. Do not touch the heat sinks, power wiring, or motor
terminals while voltage is present or serious injury will
result.
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 19XR centrifugal liquid chiller contains a
microprocessor-based 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 vane via a mechanically linked actuator
motor. The guide vane is a variable flow pre-whirl assembly
that controls the refrigeration effect in the cooler 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 microprocessorbased control center protects the chiller by monitoring the digital and analog inputs and executing capacity overrides or safety
shutdowns, if required.
PIC 5 System Components — The chiller control
system is called the PIC 5 (Product Integrated Control 5). See
Table 1. As with previous PIC versions, the PIC 5 system controls the operation of the chiller by monitoring all operating
conditions. The PIC 5 control system can diagnose a problem
and let the operator know what the problem is and what to
check. It promptly positions the guide vanes to maintain leaving chilled water temperature. It 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 also regulates the oil heater
while the compressor is off and regulates the hot gas bypass
valve, if installed. The PIC 5 controls provide critical protection for the compressor motor and control the motor starter.

start-up) is initiated by pressing the the gray Start/Stop icon on
the HMI interface. See Fig. 6.
This initiates the PIC 5 starting sequence by displaying the list
of operating modes. Press Local On to initiate start-up. See
Fig. 7.
Local start-up (or manual
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 PIC 5 control system performs a series of pre-start tests to verify that all pre-start 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 shall be “Startup.” The control shall then energize the
chilled water/brine pump relay.
Five seconds later, the condenser pump relay energizes.
Thirty seconds later the PIC 5 control system monitors the
chilled water and condenser water flow devices and waits until
the WATER FLOW VERIFY TIME (operator-configured, default 5 minutes) expires to confirm flow. After flow is verified,
the chilled water temperature is compared to CONTROLPOINT plus 1/2 CHILLED WATER DEADBAND. If the temperature is less than or equal to this value, the PIC 5 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
PIC 5 control system closes the vanes. If the vanes are closed
and the oil pump pressure is less than 4 psi (27.6 kPa), the oil
pump relay energizes. The PIC 5 control system then waits until the oil pressure (OIL PRESS VERIFY TIME, operator-configured, default of 40 seconds) reaches a maximum of 18 psi
(124 kPa). After oil pressure is verified, the PIC control system
waits 40 seconds, and the compressor start relay (1CR) energizes to start the compressor.
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 PIC 5 control system aborting the start and displaying the applicable pre-start 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 fail-
ure 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. 8 for normal start-up
timing sequence. See Table 2 for a list of prestart checks.
Unit Start/Stop
NOTE: Prior to start-up the start-to-start timer and the stop-tostart timer must have elapsed and all alarms must be cleared
(see Troubleshooting Guide section on page 42).

The oil heater relay is energized whenever the chiller compressor is off and the oil sump temperature is less than 140 F
(60 C) or the oil sump temperature is less than the evaporator
saturated refrigerant temperature plus 53° F (29.4° C). The oil
heater is turned off when either of the following conditions is
true:
• Oil sump temperature is more than 152 F (66.7 C)
• Oil sump temperature is more than 144 F (62.2 C) and
more than the evaporator saturated refrigerant tempera-
ture plus 55° F (30.6° C)
The oil heater is always off when the compressor is running.
The oil pump is also energized for 30 seconds after each 30
minutes of oil heat relay being energized in order to stir the oil
for more evenly distributed heating.
Shutdown — 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. 9).
†
Lubrication Control — As part of the prestart checks
executed by the controls, the oil sump temperature is compared
to the evaporator saturated refrigerant temperature. If the oil
temperature is less than 140 F (60 C) and less than evaporator
saturated refrigerant temperature plus 50° F (27.8° C), the
start-up will be delayed until either of these conditions is no
longer true. Once this temperature is confirmed, the start-up
continues.

Remove Shipping Packaging — Remove any pack-
aging material from the unit and starter.
Open Oil Circuit Valves — Check to ensure the oil fil-
ter isolation valves are open by removing the valve cap and
checking the valve stem.
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 suction elbow flanges (at compressor and at the
cooler)
• compressor discharge flange
• compressor discharge line spacer (both sides) if no isolation
valve
• cooler inlet line spacer (both sides) if no isolation valve
• hot gas bypass valve (both sides of valve)
• hot gas bypass flange at compressor
See Tables 3 and 4 for bolt torque requirements.
Check Chiller Tightness — Figure 11 outlines the
proper sequence and procedures for leak testing.
The 19XR chillers are shipped with the refrigerant con-
tained in the condenser shell and the oil charge in the compressor. The cooler is shipped with a 15 psig (103 kPa) refrigerant
charge. Units may be ordered with the refrigerant shipped separately, along with a 15 psig (103 kPa) nitrogen-holding charge
in each vessel.
To determine if there are any leaks, the chiller should be
charged with refrigerant. Use an electronic leak detector to
check all flanges and solder joints after the chiller is pressurized. If any leaks are detected, follow the leak test procedure
(page 16).
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.
Refrigerant Tracer — Carrier recommends the use of an
environmentally acceptable refrigerant tracer for leak testing
with an electronic 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 HFC-134a and air can undergo
combustion, resulting in equipment damage and possible
personal injury.
Leak Test Chiller — Due to regulations regarding refrig-
erant emissions and the difficulties associated with separating
contaminants from the refrigerant, Carrier recommends the
following leak test procedure. Refer to Tables 5 and 6 for refrigerant pressure/temperature values.
1. If the pressure readings are normal for the chiller
condition:
a. Evacuate the holding 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.
Follow pumpout procedures in the Transfer Refrigerant from Pumpout Storage Tank to Chiller section, Steps 1a-e, page 34.
CAUTION
Never charge liquid refrigerant into the chiller if the pressure in the chiller is less than 35 psig (241 kPa) for HFC134a. Charge as a gas only, with the cooler and condenser
pumps running, until this pressure is reached, using
PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT (located in the Maintenance
menu) and TERMINATE LOCKOUT mode on the PIC 5
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 9.
2. If the pressure readings are abnormal for the chiller condition:
a. Prepare to leak test chillers shipped with refriger-
ant (Step 2h).
b. Check for large leaks by connecting a nitrogen bottle
and raising the pressure to 30 psig (207 kPa). Soap
test all joints. If the test pressure holds for 30 minutes,
prepare the test for small leaks (Steps 2g and 2h).
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.
g. After successfully completing the test for large
leaks, remove as much nitrogen, air, and moisture
as possible, given the fact that small leaks may be
present in the system. This can be accomplished by
following the dehydration procedure outlined in
the Chiller Dehydration section, page 18.
h. Slowly raise the system pressure to a maximum of
160 psig (1103 kPa) but no less than 35 psig
(241 kPa) for HFC-134a by adding refrigerant.
Proceed with the test for small leaks (Steps 3 to 9).
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 must
be repaired. Note the total chiller leak rate 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. Retest for leaks.
6. If no leak is found after a retest:
a. Transfer the refrigerant to the storage tank and per-
form a standing vacuum test as outlined in the
Standing Vacuum Test section, below.
b. If the chiller fails the standi ng vacuum test, check
for large leaks (Step 2b).
c. If the chiller passes the standing vacuum test,
dehydrate the chiller. Follow the procedure in the
Chiller Dehydration section, page 18. Charge the
chiller with refrigerant.
7. If a leak is found after a retest, pump the refrigerant back
into the storage tank or, if isolation valves are present,
pump the refrigerant into the non-leaking vessel. See the
Transfer Refrigerant from Pumpout Storage Tank to
Chiller section on page 34.
8. Transfer the refrigerant until the chiller pressure is at
18 in. Hg (40 kPa absolute).
9. Repair the leak and repeat the procedure, beginning from
Step 2h, to ensure a leak-tight repair. (If the chiller is
opened to the atmosphere for an extended period, evacuate it before repeating the leak test.)
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 the pumpout unit.
3. Valve off the pump to hold the vacuum and record the
manometer or indicator reading.
4. a.
5. Repair the leak, retest, and proceed with dehydration.
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
if refrigerant is available. If not, use nitrogen and a
refrigerant tracer. Raise the vessel pressure in increments until the leak is detected. If refrigerant is
used, the maximum gas pressure is approximately
70 psig (483 kPa) for HFC-134a at normal ambient
temperature. If nitrogen is used, limit the leak test
pressure to 160 psig (1103 kPa) maximum.
Chiller Dehydration — Dehydration is recommended if
Fig. 12 — Dehydration Cold Trap
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.
CAUTION
Do not start or megohm-test the compressor motor or oil
pump motor, even for a rotation check, if the chiller is
under dehydration vacuum. Insulation breakdown and
severe damage may result.
WARNING
Starters must be disconnected by an isolation switch before
placing the machine under a vacuum. To be safe, isolate
any starter 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. 12) may substantially reduce the time required
to complete the dehydration. 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. If low
ambient temperatures are involved, contact a qualified service
representative for the dehydration techniques required.
Perform dehydration as follows:
1. Connect a high capacity vacuum pump (5 cfm [.002 m
or larger is recommended) to the refrigerant charging
valve (Fig. 2). Tubing from the pump to the chiller should
be as short in length and as large in diameter as possible to
provide least resistance to gas flow.
2. Use an absolute pressure manometer or a wet bulb vacuum indicator 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 tem perature at 60 F (15.6 C) or
higher, operate the vacuum pump until the manometer
reads 185 psig (1275 kPa), or a vacuum indicator reads
35 F (1.7 C). Operate the pump an additional 2 hours.
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 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.
5. Valve off the vacuum pump, stop the pump, and record
the instrument reading.
6. 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.
7. If the reading continues to change after several attempts,
perform a leak test up to the maximum 160 psig
(1103 kPa) pressure. Locate and repair the leak, and repeat dehydration.
8. 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 pro-
vided in the certified drawings and the piping instructions in
the 19XR Installation Instructions manual. Inspect the piping to
the cooler 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 cooler
and condenser must meet job requirements. Measure the pressure drop across the cooler and the condenser.
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 Relief Valves — Be sure the relief 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 19XR relief valves are set to relieve at
185 psig (1275 kPa) chiller design pressure.
Inspect Wiring
WARNING
Do not check the voltage supply without proper equipment
and precautions. Serious 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.
1. Examine the wiring for conformance to the job wiring diagrams and all applicable electrical codes.
2. Compare the ampere rating on the starter nameplate to
rating on the compressor nameplate. The overload trip
amps must be 108% to 120% of the rated load amps.
3. The starter for a centrifugal compressor motor must
contain the components and terminals required for PIC 5
controls platform. Check the certified drawings.
4. Check the voltage to the components and compare it to
the nameplate values.
5. Ensure that fused disconnects or circuit breakers have
been supplied for the control panel.
18
6. Ensure all electrical equipment and controls are properly
grounded in accordance with job drawings, certified
drawings, and all applicable electrical codes.
7. 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.
8. Test the chiller compressor motor and its power lead insulation resistance with an insulation tester such as a megohmmeter. (Use a tester rated for motor voltage.)
a. Open the starter main disconnect switch and follow
lockout/tagout rules.
CAUTION
Ensure the starter (with relay 1CR closed) goes through a
complete and proper start cycle.
SOLID-STATE STARTER
WARNING
This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Pressing the STOP button does not remove voltage.
CAUTION
An isolation switch or circuit breaker must be open ahead
of any solid-state starter when the chiller is in a vacuum. If
not, damage to the machine may result.
If the motor starter is a solid-state starter, the motor leads
must be disconnected from the starter before an insulation
test is performed. The voltage generated from the tester can
damage the starter solid-state components.
b. With the tester connected to the motor leads, take
10-second and 60-second megohm readings as
follows:
3-Lead Motor
and test between the group and ground.
c. 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.
— Tie terminals 1, 2, and 3 together
Check Starter
WARNING
BE AWARE that certain automatic start arrangements can
engage the starter. Open the disconnect ahead of the starter
in addition to shutting off the chiller or pump. Failure to
follow this procedure may result in personal injury by electric shock.
Use the instruction and service manual supplied by the starter manufacturer to verify the starter has been installed correctly, to set up and calibrate the starter, and for complete troubleshooting information.
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.
MECHANICAL STARTER
1. Check all field wiring connections for tightness, clearance from moving parts, and correct connection.
2. Check the contactor(s) to ensure they move freely. Check
all other electro-mechanical devices, such as relays, for
free movement. If the devices do not move freely, contact
the starter manufacturer for replacement components.
3. Reapply starter control power (not main chiller power) to
check the electrical functions.
1. Ensure all wiring connections are properly terminated to
the starter.
2. Verify the ground wire to the starter is installed properly
and is sufficient size.
3. Verify the motors are properly grounded to the starter.
4. Verify the proper ac input voltage is brought into the starter according to the certified drawings.
5. Apply power to the starter.
Oil Charge — The oil charge for the 19XR two-stage com-
pressor frame size 6 is 29 gal (110 L); for frame size 7 the oil
charge is 44.5 gal (168 L).
The chiller is shipped with oil in the compressor. When the
sump is full, the oil level should be no higher than the middle
of the upper sight glass, and minimum level is the bottom of
the lower sight glass (Fig. 2). If oil is added, it must meet Carrier’s specification for centrifugal compressor use as described in
the Oil Specification section on page 39. Charge the oil
through the oil charging valve located near the bottom of the
transmission housing. The oil must be pumped from the oil
container through the charging valve due to higher refrigerant
pressure. The pumping device must be able to lift from 0 to
200 psig (0 to 1380 kPa) or above unit pressure. Oil should
only be charged or removed when the chiller is shut down.
Power Up the Controls and Check the Oil
Heater —
sor and the chiller is not in a vacuum before energizing the controls. Typically a circuit breaker in the starter energizes the oil
heater and the control circuit.
The oil heater is energized by powering the control circuit.
This should be done several hours before start-up to minimize
oil-refrigerant migration. The oil heater is controlled by the
PIC 5 and is powered through a contactor in the control panel.
A separate circuit breaker powers the heater, oil pump, and the
control circuit. This arrangement allows the heater to energize
when the main motor circuit breaker is off for service work or
extended shutdowns.
Ensure that an oil level is visible in the compres-
Software Configuration
WARNING
Do not operate the chiller before the control configurations
have been checked and a Control Test has been satisfactorily completed. Protection by safety controls cannot be
assumed until all control configurations have been
confirmed.

7. Ensure the control and signal wires connected to the
chiller controller or the starter/VFD are in separate conduits.
FINE TUNING VPF (VARIABLE PRIMARY FLOW)
SURGE PRE VENTION — Figures 19-22 show how the parameters defined below will affect the configured surge line.
The menu can be found under MAIN MENU CONFIGU-
RATION MENU SURGE CORRECTION CONFIG.
NOTE: Before tuning surge prevention, check for VFD (variable frequency drive) speed limitation or capacity overrides. If
the source of low capacity is found in one of these places, do
not proceed with an attempt to tune the Surge Prevention configurations.
If capacity is not reached
and
1. ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION < GUIDE VANE
TRAVEL RANGE
and
2. SURGE PREVENTION ACTIVE = YES (can be identified in MAIN MENU MAINTENANCE MENU
SURGE CORRECTION)
and
3. PERCENT LINE CURRENT < 100%
then the surge line is probably too conservative.
Note the following parameters from HMI when maximum
ACTUAL LINE CURRENT achieved:
• EVAPORATOR REFRIGERANT TEMP
• EVAPORATOR PRESSURE
• CONDENSER REFRIG TEMP
• CONDENSER PRESSURE
• ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION
• ACTUAL LINE CURRENT
The ACTIVE DELTA Tsat and the CALC REF DELTA
TSAT can be monitored on the MAINTENANCE MENU
SURGE CORRECTION screen. When DELTA TSAT exceeds
CALC REF DELTA TSAT + ENVELOPE LINE OFFSET
surge prevention will occur.
If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is less than 30%,
then increase SURGE DELTA TSMIN in steps of 2º F (1.2º C)
until one of the three conditions listed above no longer applies.
Do not change SURGE DELTA TSMAX.
If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is greater than
60%, then increase SURGE DELTA TSMAX in steps of 2º F
(1.2º C) until cooling capacity is reached or one of conditions
listed above no longer applies. Do not change SURGE/HGBP
DELTA TSMIN.
If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is more than 30%
AND less than 60%, then:
1. Increase SURGE DELTA TSMIN in steps of 2º F
(1.2º C).
2. Increase SURGE DELTA TSMAX in steps of 2º F
(1.2º C).
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until one of the conditions listed
above no longer applies.
NOTE: DELTA TSMIN should seldom need to be increased
more than 10 degrees above the selection program value. Likewise, DELTA TSMAX rarely requires more than a 2º F
(1.2º C) increase.
If surge is encountered then the surge line is probably too
optimistic or high. Note following parameters from HMI at
surge:
• EVAPORATOR REFRIGERANT TEMP
• EVAPORATOR PRESSURE
• CONDENSER REFRIG TEMP
• CONDENSER PRESSURE
• ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION
• AVERAGE LINE CURRENT

If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is less than 30%,
go to Step 1. If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is greater
than 60%, then go to Step 3.
1. Do not change SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR from
the value selected by Chiller Builder (ECAT). Decrease
SURGE DELTA TSMIN in 1° F steps up to 5 times.
Monitor chiller for surge.
2. If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is still less than
30 and Step 1 failed, then increase the value of SURGE
LINE SHAPE FACTOR in steps of 0.01 up to 2 times.
For example, if surge is encountered when shape factor is
–0.06, increase the SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR to
–0.05. If this does not solve the problem, go to Step 5,
even if ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is less than
30%.
3. Do not change SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR from
the value selected by Chiller Builder (ECAT). Decrease
SURGE DELTA TSMAX by 1° F steps up to 5 times.
Monitor chiller for surge.
4. If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is greater than
60% and Step 3 failed to eliminate surge, then set
SURGE DELTA TSMAX to 5° F below the value specified by Chiller Builder (ECAT). Increase the value of the
SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR in steps of 0.01 up to 2
times. For example, if surge is encountered when the
SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR is –0.06, increase the
SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR to –0.05. If this does
not solve the problem, go to Step 5, even if ACTUAL
GUIDE VANE POSITION is greater than 60%.
5. If ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION is greater than
30% but less than 60% or if Step 2 failed (with ACTUAL
GUIDE VANE POSITION less than 30) or if Step 4
failed (with ACTUAL GUIDE VANE POSITION greater than 60), then perform this step. Do not change
SURGE LINE SHAPE FACTOR from the value specified by Chiller Builder (ECAT). Reset SURGE DELTA
TSMIN and SURGE DELTA TSMAX to the value specified by Chiller Builder (ECAT). Decrease SURGE DELTA TSMIN and SURGE DELTA TSMAX in steps of
1° F up to 5 times. Monitor chiller for surge.
If the chiller is equipped with a VFD and the drive does not
slow down adequately at part load, then the machine is likely
operating at a point above the configured “software” surge line
and the machine is in surge prevention mode. Check for a surge
protection message on the HMI. If the unit is not in a surge protection state, then the ENVELOPE SPEED FACTOR may
23
need to be increased (more aggressive surge line protection) in
combination with a decrease in the SURGE LINE SHAPE
FACTOR.
MODIFY EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION IF NECESSARY — The EQUIPMENT SERVICE table has screens to
select, view, or modify parameters. Carrier’s certified drawings
have the configuration values required for the jobsite. Modify
these values only if requested. Modifications can include:
• Chilled water reset
• Entering chilled water control (Enable/Disable)
• 4 to 20 mA demand limit
• Auto restart option (Enable/Disable)
• Remote contact option (Enable/Disable)
See the 19XR with PIC 5 Controls Operation and Trouble-
shooting guide for more details about these functions.
Perform a Controls Test (Quick Test) — Check
the safety controls status by performing an automated controls
test. The path to the QUICK TEST is MAIN MENU
QUICK TEST TABLE. (The QUICK TEST screen can only
be accessed when the chiller is in STOP mode.) On the
QUICK TEST table screen, select a test to be performed (see
Table 8).
The Quick Test checks all outputs and inputs for function.
In order to successfully proceed with the controls test, the compressor should be off, no alarms showing, and voltage should
be within ±10% of rating plate value. Each test asks the operator to confirm the operation is occurring and whether or not to
continue. If an error occurs, the operator can try to address the
problem as the test is being done or note the problem and proceed to the next test.
NOTE: If during the controls test the guide vanes do not open,
verify the low pressure alarm is not active. (An active low
pressure alarm causes the guide vanes to close.)
NOTE: The oil pump test will not energize the oil pump if
cooler pressure is below –5 psig (–35 kPa).
When the controls test is finished the test stops and the
QUICK TEST menu displays. If a specific automated test procedure is not completed, access the particular control test to test
the function when ready. For information about calibration, see
the sections Checking Pressure Transducers, page 46, and High
Altitude Locations, page 46.

Charge Refrigerant into Chiller
CAUTION
The transfer, addition, or removal of refrigerant in spring
isolated chillers may place severe stress on and damage
external piping if springs have not been blocked in both up
and down directions.
CAUTION
Always operate the condenser and chilled water pumps
during charging operations to prevent freeze-ups.
1. Access the terminate lockout function on the PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT screen (located in the Maintenance
Menu).
2. IMPORTANT: Turn on the chilled water and condenser
water pumps to prevent freezing.
3. Open valve 4 on the pumpout unit and open valves 1a and
1b on the chiller cooler and condenser, Fig. 23 and 24.
Slowly open valve 2 on the pumpout unit to equalize the
pressure. This process takes approximately 15 minutes.
4. Once the pressures have equalized, the discharge isolation valve, cooler isolation valve, optional hot gas bypass
isolation valve, and the refrigerant isolation valve can be
opened. Close valves 1a and 1b, and all pumpout unit
valves.
The standard 19XR chiller is shipped with the refrigerant
already charged in the vessels. However, the 19XR chiller may
be ordered with a nitrogen holding charge of 15 psig (103 kPa).
Evacuate the nitrogen from the entire chiller, and charge the
chiller from refrigerant cylinders.
CHILLER EQUALIZATION WITHOUT A PUMPOUT
UNIT
CAUTION
When equalizing refrigerant pressure on the 19XR chiller
after service work or during the initial chiller start-up, donot use the discharge isolation valve to equalize. A
charging hose (connected between the charging valves on
top of the cooler and condenser) should be used as the
equalization valve. Failure to follow this procedure may
damage equipment.
To equalize the pressure differential on a refrigerant isolated
19XR chiller, use the terminate lockout function of PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT (located in the Maintenance Menu). This
helps to turn on pumps and advises the operator on proper procedures.
The following steps describe how to equalize refrigerant
pressure in an isolated 19XR chiller without a pumpout unit.
1. Access terminate lockout function on the Maintenance
Menu. (Alternatively, the Quick Test provides a means
for cooler and condenser pump control.)
2. IMPORTANT: Turn on the chilled water and condenser
water pumps to prevent freezing.
3. Slowly open the refrigerant charging valves. The chiller
cooler and condenser pressures will gradually equalize.
This process takes approximately 15 minutes.
4. Once the pressures have equalized, the cooler isolation
valve, the condenser isolation valve, and the hot gas isolation valve may now be opened. Refer to Fig. 23 and 24
for the location of the valves.
WARNING
Whenever turning the discharge isolation valve, be sure to
reattach the valve locking device. This prevents the valve
from opening or closing during service work or during
chiller operation. Failure to follow this procedure may
damage equipment and result in bodily injury.
CHILLER EQUALIZATION WITH FREE-STANDING
PUMPOUT UNIT — The following steps describe how to
equalize refrigerant pressure on an isolated 19XR chiller using
the pumpout unit.
WARNING
Whenever turning the discharge isolation valve, be sure to
reattach the valve locking device. This prevents the valve
from opening or closing during service work or during
chiller operation. Failure to follow this procedure may
damage equipment and result in bodily injury.
The full refrigerant charge on the 19XR chiller will vary
with chiller components and design conditions, as indicated on
the job data specifications. An approximate charge may be determined by adding the condenser charge to the cooler charge
as listed in the Heat Exchanger Data tables in the Physical Data
section that begins on page 48.
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.
Use the PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT terminate lockout function to monitor conditions and start the pumps.
If the chiller has been shipped with a holding charge
refrigerant is added through the pumpout charging connection
(Fig. 23 and 24, valve 1b). First evacuate the nitrogen holding
charge from the chiller vessels. Charge the refrigerant as a gas
until the system pressure exceeds 35 psig (241 kPa) for HFC134a. After the chiller is beyond this pressure the refrigerant
should be charged as a liquid until all the recommended refrigerant charge has been added. The charging valve (Fig. 23 and
24, valve 7) can be used to charge liquid to the cooler if the
cooler isolation valve (11) is present and is closed. Do not
charge liquid through the linear float to the condenser.
TRIMMING REFRIGERANT CHARGE — The 19XR
chiller is shipped with the correct charge for the design duty of
the chiller. Trimming the charge can best be accomplished
when the design load is available. To trim the charge, check the
temperature difference between the leaving chilled water temperature and cooler refrigerant temperature at full load design
conditions. If necessary, add or remove refrigerant to bring the
temperature difference to design conditions or minimum
differential. See the 19XR Installation Instructions manual for
required chiller refrigerant charge.
The 19XR chiller refrigerant charges are shown in Tables 9
and 10. Total refrigerant charge is the sum of the cooler, condenser, and economizer charge.

1. Power is on to the main starter, oil pump relay, tower fan
starter, oil heater relay, and the chiller control panel.
2. Cooling tower water is at proper level and at-or-below
design entering temperature.
3. Chiller is charged with refrigerant and all refrigerant and
oil valves are in their proper operating positions.
4. Oil is at the proper level in the reservoir sight glasses.
5. Oil reservoir temperature is above 140 F (60 C) or above
CALC EVAP SAT TEMP plus 50 F (28 C).
6. Valves in the evaporator and condenser water circuits are
open.
NOTE: If the pumps are not automatic, ensure water is
circulating properly.
Before starting the chiller, verify:
CAUTION
Do not permit water or brine that is warmer than 110 F
(43 C) to flow through the cooler or condenser. Refrigerant
overpressure may discharge through the relief valves and
result in the loss of refrigerant charge.
7. Access the PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT feature from the
Maintenance Menu. Press the End Lockout button on the
touch screen and accept the “press OK to Terminate
Lockout?” prompt. The unit is reset to operating mode.
The chiller is locked out at the factory in order to prevent
accidental start-up.
Check Motor Rotation
1. Disengage the main starter disconnect and engage the
control panel power circuit breaker.
NOTE: The circuit breaker may be located in the starter if
the disconnect and step down transformer option was ordered with the starter. If located in the starter, close the
door securely after this step.
2. Close the starter enclosure door.
3. The ISM (integrated starter module) mounted in the starter enclosure checks for proper phase rotation as soon as
power is applied to the starter and the PIC 5 controls
power up.
4. An alarm message will appear on the HMI screen if the
phase rotation is incorrect. If this occurs reverse any 2 of
the 3 incoming power leads to the starter and reapply
power. The motor is now ready for a rotation check.
5. Start the chiller by Local On (assumes LOCAL operation
mode) by pressing the Start/Stop button on the HMI and
following the prompts. The PIC 5 control performs startup checks.
6. When the starter is energized and the motor begins to
turn, check for clockwise motor rotation (Fig. 25).
IMPORTANT: Do not check motor rotation during coastdown. Rotation may have reversed during equalization of
vessel pressures.
Check Oil Pressure and Compressor Stop
1. When the motor is at full speed, note the differential oil
pressure reading on the HMI default screen. It should be
between 18 and 40 psid (124 and 206 kPad). The oil
pump will geenrate design oil pressure only with the correct electrical phasing of ABC.
2. Press the Stop button and listen for any unusual sounds
from the compressor as it coasts to a stop.
To Prevent Accidental Start-Up — Achiller STOP
override setting may be entered to prevent accidental start-up
during service or whenever necessary. From the Main Menu,
access the General Parameters Menu and use the down arrow
to reach Stop Override on the GENUNIT table. Change Stop
Override to Yes; then execute the command by touching the
lightning button. The message “ALM-276 Protective Limit Stop Override” will appear in the Home Screen message area.
To restart the chiller, access the same screen change the Stop
Override option to No.
Check Chiller Operating Condition — Check to
be sure that chiller temperatures, pressures, water flows, and
oil and refrigerant levels indicate the system is functioning
properly.
Instruct the Customer Operator — Ensure the op-
erator(s) understand all operating and maintenance procedures.
Point out the various chiller parts and explain their function as

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operator Duties
1. Become familiar with the chiller and related equipment
before operating the chiller.
2. Prepare the system for start-up, start and stop the chiller,
and place the system in a shutdown condition.
3. Maintain a log of operating conditions and document any
abnormal readings.
4. Inspect the equipment, make routine adjustments, and
perform a Control Test. Maintain the proper oil and refrigerant levels.
5. Protect the system from damage during shutdown periods.
6. Maintain the set point, time schedules, and other PIC
functions.
Prepare the Chiller for Start-Up — Follow the steps
described in the Initial Start-Up section, page 29.
To Start the Chiller
1. Start the water pumps, if they are not automatic.
2. Press the Start/Stop icon on the HMI home screen to start
the system. If the chiller is in the OCCUPIED mode and
the start timers have expired, the start sequence will start.
Follow the procedure described in the Start-Up/Shutdown/Recycle Sequence section, page 11.
Check the Running System — After the compres-
sor starts, the operator should monitor the display and observe
the parameters for normal operating conditions:
1. The oil reservoir temperature should be above 120 F
(49 C) during shutdown.
2. The bearing oil temperature accessed from the Temperatures menu should be 120 to 165 F (49 to 74 C) for compressors with rolling element bearings. If the bearing temperature reads more than 180 F (83 C) with the oil pump
running, stop the chiller and determine the cause of the
high temperature. Do not restart the chiller until corrected.
3. The oil level should be visible anywhere in one of the two
sight glasses. Foaming oil is acceptable as long as the oil
pressure and temperature are within limits.
4. The oil pressure should be between 18 and 40 psid (124
and 207 kPad) differential, as seen on the HMI Transmission Status screen. Typically the reading will be 18 to
35 psid (124 to 241 kPad) at initial start-up.
5. The moisture indicator sight glass on the ref rigerant motor cooling line should indicate refrigerant flow and a dry
condition.
6. The condenser pressure and temperature varies with the
chiller design conditions. Typically the pressure will
range between 60 and 135 psig (390 and 950 kPa) with a
corresponding temperature range of 60 to 105 F (15 to
41 C). The condenser entering water temperature should
be controlled below the specified design entering water
temperature to save on compressor kilowatt
requirements.
7. Cooler pressure and temperature also will vary with the
design conditions. Typical pressure range will be between
29.5 and 40.1 psig (203.4 and 276.4 kPa), with temperature ranging between 34 and 45 F (1.1 and 7.2 C).
8. The compressor may operate at full capacity for a short
time after the pulldown ramping has ended, even though
the building load is small. The active electrical demand
setting can be overridden to limit the compressor kW, or
the pulldown rate can be decreased to avoid a high
demand charge for the short period of high demand operation. Pulldown rate can be based on load rate or temperature rate and is accessed on the MAINTENANCE
MENU CAPACITY CONTROLS RAMP_DEM
(Ramping Demand Limit Value).
9. The economizer (if installed) has two sight glasses that
look into the float chamber. When the chiller is operating,
the top sight glass is empty and the bottom sight glass is
full.
To Stop the Chiller
The occupancy schedule starts and stops the chiller automatically once the time schedule is configured.
The unit can be stopped manually using the HMI by pressing the green Start/Stop icon . The Unit Start/Stop screen is
displayed. Press Confirm Stop. The compressor will then follow the normal shutdown sequence as described in the StartUp/Shutdown/Recycle Sequence section on page 11. The
chiller is now in the OFF control mode.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to stop the chiller by opening
an isolating knife switch. High intensity arcing may occur.
If the chiller is stopped by an alarm condition, do not restartthe chiller until the problem is diagnosed and corrected.
After Limited Shutdown — No special preparations
should be necessary. Follow the regular preliminary checks and
starting procedures.
Preparation for Extended Shutdown — The refrig-
erant should be transferred into the pumpout storage tank (if
supplied; see Pumpout and Refrigerant Transfer Procedures on
page 31) to reduce chiller pressure and the possibility of leaks.
Maintain a holding charge of 5 to 10 lb (2.27 to 4.5 kg) of refrigerant or nitrogen to prevent air from leaking into the chiller.
If freezing temperatures are likely to occur in the chiller area, drain the chilled water, condenser water, and the pumpout
condenser water circuits to avoid freeze-up. Keep the waterbox
drains open. It is recommended not to store the refrigerant in
the unit if below freezing temperatures are anticipated. A nitrogen holding charge is recommended in this case.
Leave the oil charge in the chiller with the oil heater and
controls energized to maintain the minimum oil reservoir
temperature.
After Extended Shutdown — Ensure the water sys-
tem drains are closed. It may be advisable to flush the water
circuits to remove any soft rust that may have formed. This is a
good time to brush the tubes and inspect the Schrader fittings
on the waterside flow devices for fouling, if necessary.
Check the cooler pressure on the HMI panel and compare it
to the original holding charge that was left in the chiller. If (after adjusting for ambient temperature changes) any loss in pressure is indicated, check for refrigerant leaks. See Check Chiller
Tightness section, page 13.
Recharge the chiller by transferring refrigerant from the
pumpout storage tank (if supplied). Follow the Pumpout and
Refrigerant Transfer Procedures section on page 31. Observe
freeze-up precautions.
30
Carefully make all regular preliminary and running system
checks. If the compressor oil level appears abnormally high,
the oil may have absorbed refrigerant. Ensure that the oil temperature is above 40 F (4.4 C) or above the EVAP SAT TEMP
plus 50 F (27 C).
Cold Weather Operation — When the entering con-
denser water temperature drops very low, the operator should
automatically cycle the cooling tower fans off to keep the temperature up. Piping may also be arranged to bypass the cooling
tower.
IMPORTANT: A field-supplied water temperature control system for condenser water should be installed.
The system should maintain the leaving condenser
water temperature at a temperature that is at least 20 F
(11C) above the leaving chilled water temperature.
Manual Guide Vane Operation — It is possible to
manually operate the guide vanes in order to check control
operation or to control the guide vanes in an emergency. Manual operation is possible by overriding the target guide vane
position.
NOTE: Manual control overrides the configured pulldown rate
during start-up and permits the guide vanes to open at a faster
rate. Motor current above the electrical demand setting, capacity overrides, and chilled water temperature below the control
point override the manual target and close the guide vanes. For
descriptions of capacity overrides and set points, see the 19XR
with PIC 5 Controls Operation and Troubleshooting guide.
Refrigeration Log — A refrigeration log (as shown in
Fig. 26), is a convenient checklist for routine inspection and
maintenance and provides a continuous record of chiller performance. It is also an aid when scheduling routine maintenance and diagnosing chiller problems.
Keep a record of the chiller pressures, temperatures, and liquid levels on a sheet similar to the one in Fig. 26. Automatic recording of data is possible by using CCN devices such as the
Data Collection module and a Building Supervisor. Contact a
Carrier representative for more information.
PUMPOUT AND REFRIGERANT
TRANSFER PROCEDURES
Preparation —
with an optional pumpout storage tank, pumpout system, or
pumpout compressor. The refrigerant can be pumped for service work to either the chiller compressor vessel or chiller condenser vessel by using the optional pumpout system. If a
pumpout storage tank is supplied, the refrigerant can be isolated in the storage tank. The following procedures describe
how to transfer refrigerant from vessel to vessel and perform
chiller evacuation.
The 19XR chiller may come equipped
CAUTION
The power to the pumpout compressor oil heater must be
on whenever any valve connecting the pumpout compressor to the chiller or storage tank is open. Leaving the heater
off will result in oil dilution by refrigerant and can lead to
compressor failure.
If the compressor is found with the heater off and a
valve open, the heater must be on for at least 4 hours to
drive the refrigerant from the oil. When heating the oil the
compressor suction must be open to a vessel to give the refrigerant a means to leave the compressor.
CAUTION
Always run the chiller cooler and condenser water pumps
and always charge or transfer refrigerant as a gas when the
chiller pressure is less than 35 psig (241 kPa). Below these
pressures, liquid refrigerant flashes into gas, resulting in
extremely low temperatures in the cooler/condenser tubes
and possibly causing tube freeze-up.
During transfer of refrigerant into and out of the optional
storage tank, carefully monitor the storage tank level gage.
Do not fill the tank more than 90% of capacity to allow for
refrigerant expansion. Overfilling may result in damage to
the tank or the release of refrigerant which will result in
personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Do not mix refrigerants from chillers that use different
compressor oils. Compressor damage can result.
Operating the Optional Pumpout Unit
(Fig. 27) —
pressor sight glass under all operating conditions and during
shutdown. If oil is low, add oil as described under Optional
Pumpout System Maintenance section, page 41. The pumpout
unit control wiring schematic is detailed in Fig. 28.
TO READ REFRIGERANT PRESSURES (during pumpout
or leak testing):
1. The display on the chiller control panel is suitable for determining refrigerant-side pressures and low (soft) vacuum. To assure the desired range and accuracy when measuring evacuation and dehydration, use a quality vacuum
indicator or manometer. This can be placed on the
Schrader connections on each vessel by removing the
pressure transducer (Fig. 2).
2. To determine pumpout storage tank pressure, a 30 in. Hg
vacuum -0-400 psi (-101-0-2769 kPa) gage is attached to
the storage tank.
3. Refer to Fig. 23 and 24 for valve locations and numbers.
Oil should be visible in the pumpout unit com-
POSITIVE PRESSURE CHILLERS WITH STORAGE
TANKS — In the Valve/Condition tables that accompany these
instructions, the letter “C” indicates a closed valve. Figures 23
and 24 show the locations of the valves.
CAUTION
Always run chiller cooler and condenser water pumps and
always charge or transfer refrigerant as a gas when chiller
vessel pressure is less than 35 psig (241 kPa). Below these
pressures, liquid refrigerant flashes into gas, resulting in
extremely low temperatures in the cooler/condenser tubes
and possibly causing tube freeze-up.
CAUTION
Transfer, addition, or removal of refrigerant in springisolated chillers may place severe stress on and damage
external piping if springs have not been blocked in both up
and down directions.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Refrigerant Properties —
the 19XR chiller is HFC-134a. At normal atmospheric pressure, HFC-134a will boil at –14 F (–25 C) and must, therefore,
be kept in pressurized containers or storage tanks. The refrigerant is practically odorless when mixed with air and is noncombustible at atmospheric pressure. Read the Material Safety
Data Sheet and the latest ASHRAE Safety Guide for Mechanical Refrigeration to learn more about safe handling of this
refrigerant.
The standard refrigerant for
DANGER
HFC-134a will dissolve oil and some nonmetallic materials, dry the skin, and, in heavy concentrations, may displace enough oxygen to cause asphyxiation. When
handling this refrigerant, protect the hands and eyes and
avoid breathing fumes.
Adding Refrigerant — Follow the procedures de-
scribed in Trim Refrigerant Charge section, page 38.
CAUTION
Always use the compressor pumpdown function in the
PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT feature to turn on the cooler
pump and lock out the compressor when transferring
refrigerant. Liquid refrigerant may flash into a gas and
cause possible freeze-up when the chiller pressure is below
30 psig (207 kPa) for HFC-134a.
Adjusting the Refrigerant Charge — If the addi-
tion or removal of refrigerant is required to improve chiller performance, follow the procedures given under the Trim Refrigerant Charge section, page 38.
Refrigerant Leak Testing — Because HFC-134a is
above atmospheric pressure at room temperature, leak testing
can be performed with refrigerant in the chiller. Use an electronic halogen leak detector, soap bubble solution, or ultrasonic
leak detector. Ensure that the room is well ventilated and free
from concentration of refrigerant to keep false readings to a
minimum. Before making any necessary repairs to a leak,
transfer all refrigerant from the leaking vessel.
Leak Rate — It is recommended by ASHRAE that chillers
be taken off line immediately and repaired if the refrigerant
leak rate for the entire chiller is more than 10% of the operating
refrigerant charge per year.
In addition, Carrier recommends that leaks totalling less
than the above rate but more than a rate of 0.1% of the total
charge per year should be repaired during annual maintenance
or whenever the refrigerant is transferred for other service
work.
Test After Service, Repair, or Major Leak —
If all the refrigerant has been lost or if the chiller has been
opened for service, the chiller or the affected vessels must be
pressure tested and leak tested. Refer to the Leak Test Chiller
section on page 16 to perform a leak test.
WARNING
HFC-134a should not be mixed with air or oxygen and
pressurized for leak testing. In general, this refrigerant
should not be present with high concentrations of air or
oxygen above atmospheric pressures, because the mixture
can undergo combustion.
TESTING WITH REFRIGERANT TRACER — Use an environmentally acceptable refrigerant as a tracer for leak test
procedures. Use dry nitrogen to raise the machine pressure to
leak testing levels.
TESTING WITHOUT REFRIGERANT TRACER — Another method of leak testing is to pressurize with nitrogen only
and to use a soap bubble solution or an ultrasonic leak detector
to determine if leaks are present.
TO PRESSURIZE WITH DRY NITROGEN
NOTE: Pressurizing with dry nitrogen for leak testing should
not be done if the full refrigerant charge is in the vessel
because purging the nitrogen is very difficult.
1. Connect a copper tube from the pressure regulator on the
cylinder to the refrigerant charging valve. Never apply
full cylinder pressure to the pressurizing line. Follow the
listed sequence.
2. Open the charging valve fully.
3. Slowly open the cylinder regulating valve.
4. Observe the pressure gage on the chiller and close the
regulating valve when the pressure reaches test level. Donot exceed 140 psig (965 kPa).
5. Close the charging valve on the chiller. Remove the copper tube if it is no longer required.
Repair the Leak, Retest, and Apply Standing
Vacuum Test —
leaks with an electronic halide leak detector, soap bubble solution, or an ultrasonic leak detector. Bring the chiller back to atmospheric pressure, repair any leaks found, and retest.
After retesting and finding no leaks, apply a standing vacuum test. Then dehydrate the chiller. Refer to the Standing Vacuum Test and Chiller Dehydration sections (pages 16 and 18) in
the Before Initial Start-Up section.
After pressurizing the chiller, test for
Checking Guide Vanes — During normal shutdown,
when the chiller is off, the guide vanes are closed. Check that
the coupling is tight on the shaft and make sure that the guide
vane shaft is closed. Complete the following steps to adjust position (see Fig. 29-31):
1. Remove the set screw in the guide vane coupling.
2. Loosen the holddown bolts on the guide vane actuator.
3. Pull the guide vane actuator away from the suction
housing.

is necessary when the guide vane actuator sprocket set
screws on the guide vane actuator shaft need to be
re-seated. (Remember: Spot-drill and tighten the first set
screw before spot-drilling for the second set screw.)
Trim Refrigerant Charge — If to obtain optimal
chiller performance it becomes necessary to adjust the refrigerant charge, operate the chiller at design load and then add or remove refrigerant slowly until the difference between the leaving chilled water temperature and the cooler refrigerant temperature reaches design conditions or becomes a minimum. Do
not overcharge.
Refrigerant may be added either through the storage tank or
directly into the chiller as described in the Charge Refrigerant
into Chiller section.
To remove any excess refrigerant, follow the procedure in
Transfer Refrigerant from Chiller to Pumpout Storage Tank
section, Steps 1a and b, page 34.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Check the Lubrication System —
el on the reservoir sight glass, and observe the level each week
while the chiller is shut down.
If the level goes below the lower sight glass, check the oil
reclaim system for proper operation. If additional oil is required, add it through the oil drain charging valve (Fig. 2). A
pump is required when adding oil against refrigerant pressure.
The oil charge for the 19XR two-stage compressor frame size 6
is 29 gal. (110 L); for frame size 7 the oil charge is 44.5 gal
(168 L).
The added oil must meet Carrier specifications for the 19XR
chiller. Refer to Changing Oil Filter and Oil Changes sections
on page 39. Any additional oil that is added should be logged
by noting the amount and date. Any oil that is added due to oil
loss that is not related to service will eventually return to the
sump. It must be removed when the level is high.
An oil heater is controlled by the PIC 5 control system to
maintain oil temperature (see the 19XR with PIC 5 Controls
Operation and Troubleshooting manual) when the compressor
Mark the oil lev-
is off. If the PIC 5 control system shows that the heater is energized and if the sump is still not heating up, the power to the oil
heater may be off or the oil level may be too low. Check the oil
level, the oil heater contactor voltage, and oil heater resistance.
The PIC 5 control system does not permit compressor startup if the oil temperature is too low. The PIC 5 control system
continues with start-up only after the temperature is within allowable limits.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Establish a regular maintenance schedule based on your actual chiller requirements such as chiller load, run hours, and
water quality. The time intervals listed in this section are of-
fered as guides to service only.
Service Ontime — The HMI will display a SERVICE
ONTIME value on the MAIN MENU RUN TIMES screen.
This value should be reset to zero by the service person or the
operator each time major service work is completed so that the
time between service events can be viewed and tracked.
Inspect the Control Panel — Maintenance consists of
general cleaning and tightening of connections. Vacuum the
cabinet to eliminate dust build-up. If the chiller control malfunctions, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide section on
page 42 for control checks and adjustments.
WARNING
Ensure power to the starter is isolated when cleaning and
tightening connections inside the starter enclosure. Failure
to disconnect power could result in electrocution. The oil
filter housing is at a high pressure. Relieve this pressure
slowly. Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
38
Changing Oil Filter — Change the oil filter on a
yearly basis or when the chiller is opened for repairs. The
19XR chiller has an isolatable oil filter so that the filter may
be changed with the refrigerant remaining in the chiller. Use
the following procedure:
1. Ensure the compressor is off and the disconnect for the
compressor is open.
2. Disconnect the power to the oil pump.
3. Close the oil filter isolation valves.
4. Close the isolation valves located on both ends of the oil
filter. Have rags and a catch basin available to collect oil
spillage.
5. Equalize the filter’s higher internal pressure to ambient
by connecting an oil charging hose to the Schrader valve
on the oil filter housing. Collect the oil-refrigerant mixture which is discharged.
6. Remove the oil filter assembly by loosening the hex nuts
on both ends of the filter assembly.
7. Insert the replacement filter assembly with the arrow on
the housing pointing away from the oil pump.
8. Rotate the assembly so that the Schrader drain valve is
oriented at the bottom, and tighten the connection nut on
each end to a torque of approximately 30 ft-lb (41 N-m).
WARNING
The oil filter housing is at a high pressure. Relieve this
pressure slowly. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
9. Evacuate the filter housing by placing a vacuum pump on
the charging valve. Follow the normal evacuation procedures. Shut the charging valve when done and reconnect
the valve so that new oil can be pumped into the filter
housing. Fill with the same amount that was removed;
then close the charging valve.
10. Remove the hose from the charging valve, open the isolation valves to the filter housing, and turn on the power to
the pump and the motor.
Oil Specification — If oil is added, it must meet the fol-
lowing Carrier specifications:
Oil Type for units using R-134a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Inhibited
Oil Changes — Carrier recommends that a yearly oil
analysis be performed to determine when to change oil and
when to perform a compressor inspection. However, if yearly
analysis is not performed or available, the time between oil
changes should be no longer than 5 years. Additionally Carrier
recommends vibration measurement done at regular intervals
to obtain a signature of the moving compressor parts as part of
a total productive maintenance (TPM) program.
TO CHANGE THE OIL
1. Transfer the refrigerant into the chiller condenser vessel
(for isolatable vessels) or to a pumpout storage tank.
2. Mark the existing oil level.
3. Open the control and oil heater circuit breaker.
4. When the chiller pressure is 5 psig (34 kPa) or less, drain
the oil reservoir by opening the oil charging valve
(Fig. 2). Slowly open the valve against refrigerant
pressure.
5. Change the oil filter at this time. See Changing Oil Filter
section.
6. Change the refrigerant filter at this time, see the next section, Refrigerant Filter.
7. Charge the chiller with oil. Charge until the oil level is
equal to the oil level marked in Step 2. Turn on the power
to the oil heater and let the PIC 5 warm it up to at least
140 F (60 C). Operate the oil pump manually, using the
Control Test function, for 2 minutes. For shutdown conditions, the oil level should be full in the lower sight glass.
If the oil level is above
move the excess oil. The oil level should now be equal to
the amount shown in Step 2.

/2 full in the upper sight glass, re-
Refrigerant Filter — A refrigerant filter/drier, located on
the refrigerant cooling line to the motor, should be changed
once a year or more often if filter condition indicates a need for
more frequent replacement. Change the filter by closing the filter isolation valves (Fig. 2) and slowly opening the flare fittings
with a wrench and back-up wrench to relieve the pressure. A
moisture indicator sight glass is located beyond this filter to indicate the volume and moisture in the refrigerant. If the moisture indicator indicates moisture, locate the source of water immediately by performing a thorough leak check.
Oil Reclaim Filter — The oil reclaim system has a
strainer on the eductor suction line, a strainer on the discharge
pressure line, and a filter on the cooler scavenging line. Replace the filter once every 5 years or when the machine is
opened for service. This filter does not contain desiccant for
moisture removal, so changing the filter will not change the
moisture indicator status. Change the filter by closing the filter
isolation valves and slowly opening the flare fitting with a
wrench and back-up wrench to relieve the pressure. Change the
strainers once every 5 years or whenever refrigerant is evacuated from the cooler.
Inspect Refrigerant Float System — Perform this
inspection only if the following symptoms are seen.
• There is a simultaneous drop in cooler pressure and
increase in condenser pressure. This will be accompanied by an increase in kW/Ton.
• The liquid line downstream of the float valve feels warm.
This indicates condenser gas flowing past the float. An
increase in kW/Ton will also occur.
1. Transfer the refrigerant into the cooler vessel or into a
pumpout storage tank.
2. Remove the float access cover.
3. Clean the chamber and valve assembly thoroughly. Be
sure the valve moves freely. Ensure that all openings are
free of obstructions.
4. Examine the cover gasket and replace if necessary. Inspect the orientation of the float slide pin. It must be
pointed toward the bubbler tube for proper operation.
ECONOMIZER FLOAT SYSTEM — For two-stage compressors, the economizer has a low side ball type float system.
The float refrigerant level can be observed through the two
sight glasses located on the float cover under the condenser.
See Fig. 32 for float detail. Inspect the float every five years.
Clean the chamber and the float valve assembly. Be sure that
the float moves freely and the ball bearings that the float moves
on are clean.
ECONOMIZER DAMPER VALVE — The damper valve
should be inspected every 5 years or when the condenser is
opened for service. Check the economizer damper actuator’s
movement and wiring.

on this chiller protect the system against the potentially dangerous effects of overpressure. To ensure against damage to the
equipment and possible injury to personnel, these devices must
be kept in peak operating condition.
As a minimum, the following maintenance is required.
1. At least once a year, disconnect the vent piping at the
valve outlet and carefully inspect the valve body and
mechanism for any evidence of internal corrosion or rust,
dirt, scale, leakage, etc.
2. If corrosion or foreign material is found, do not attempt to
repair or recondition. Replace the valve.
3. If the chiller is installed in a corrosive atmosphere or the
relief valves are vented into a corrosive atmosphere, inspect the relief valves at more frequent intervals.
Compressor Bearing and Gear Maintenance —
The key to good bearing and gear maintenance is proper lubrication. Use the proper grade of oil, maintained at recommended level, temperature, and pressure. Inspect the
lubrication system regularly and thoroughly. Annual oil analysis and vibration measurements are recommended.
Excessive bearing wear can sometimes be detected through
increased vibration or increased bearing temperature. Gears,
babbitted journal bearings, and thrust bearings should be examined for signs of wear based on the results of the annual oil
analysis and vibration levels. To inspect the bearings, a complete compressor teardown is required. Only a trained service
technician should remove and examine the bearings. The frequency of examination is determined by the hours of chiller operation, load conditions during operation, and the condition of
the oil and the lubrication system. High speed shaft rolling element bearings cannot be field inspected; excessive vibration is
the primary sign of wear or damage. If either symptom appears, contact an experienced and responsible service organization for assistance.
Inspect the Heat Exchanger Tubes and Flow
Devices
COOLER AND OPTIONAL FLOW DEVICES — Inspect
and clean the cooler tubes at the end of the first operating season. Because these tubes have internal ridges, a rotary-type
tube cleaning system is needed to fully clean the tubes. Inspect
the tubes’ condition to determine the scheduled frequency for
future cleaning and to determine whether water treatment in the
chilled water/brine circuit is adequate. Inspect the entering and
leaving chilled water temperature sensors and flow devices for
signs of corrosion or scale. Replace a sensor or Schrader fitting
if corroded or remove any scale if found.
CONDENSER AND OPTIONAL FLOW DEVICES —
Since this water circuit is usually an open-type system, the
tubes may be subject to contamination and scale. Clean the
condenser tubes with a rotary tube cleaning system at least
once per year and more often if the water is contaminated.
Inspect the entering and leaving condenser water sensors and
flow devices for signs of corrosion or scale. Replace the sensor
or Schrader fitting if corroded or remove any scale if found.
Higher than normal condenser pressures, together with the
inability to reach full refrigeration load, usually indicate dirty
tubes or air in the chiller. If the refrigeration log indicates a rise
above normal condenser pressures, check the condenser refrigerant temperature against the leaving condenser water temperature. If this reading is more than what the design difference is
supposed to be, the condenser tubes may be dirty or water flow
may be incorrect. Because HFC-134a is a high-pressure refrigerant, air usually does not enter the chiller.
During the tube cleaning process, use brushes specially designed to avoid scraping and scratching the tube wall. Contact
your Carrier representative to obtain these brushes. Do not use
wire brushes.

tion or removal. Consult a water treatment specialist for proper
treatment.
Water Leaks — The refrigerant moisture indicator on the
refrigerant motor cooling line (Fig. 2) indicates whether there
is water leakage during chiller operation. Water leaks should be
repaired immediately.
CAUTION
The chiller must be dehydrated after repair of water leaks
or damage may result. See Chiller Dehydration section,
page 18.
Water Treatment — Untreated or improperly treated
water may result in corrosion, scaling, erosion, or algae. The
services of a qualified water treatment specialist should be obtained to develop and monitor a treatment program.
CAUTION
Water must be within design flow limits, clean, and treated
to ensure proper chiller performance and reduce the potential of tube damage due to corrosion, scaling, erosion, and
algae. Carrier assumes no responsibility for chiller damage
resulting from untreated or improperly treated water.
Inspect the Starting Equipment — Before work-
ing on any starter, shut off the chiller, open and tag all disconnects supplying power to the starter.
CAUTION
The motor leads must be disconnected from the starter
before an insulation test is performed. The voltage generated from the tester can damage the starter components.
Optional Pumpout System Maintenance — For
pumpout unit compressor maintenance details, refer to the
19XR Positive Pressure Storage System Installation, Start-Up,
and Service Instructions.
OPTIONAL PUMPOUT COMPRESSOR OIL
CHARGE — Use oil conforming to Carrier specifications
for reciprocating compressor usage. Oil requirements are as
follows:
Carrier Part Number . . . . . . . . . . . PP23BZ103 or PP23BZ104
The total oil charge is 13 oz. (0.5 L).
Oil should be visible in the pumpout compressor sight glass
both during operation and at shutdown. Always check the oil
level before operating the pumpout compressor. Before adding
changing oil, relieve the refrigerant pressure through the access
valves.
Relieve refrigerant pressure and add oil to the pumpout unit
as follows:
1. Close service valves 2 and 4.
2. Run the pumpout compressor in Automatic mode for one
minute or until the vacuum switch is satisfied and compressor shuts off.
3. Move the pumpout selector switch to OFF. Pumpout
compressor shell should now be under vacuum.
4. Oil can be added to the shell with a hand oil pump
through the access valve in the compressor base.
NOTE: The compressor access valve has a self-sealing fitting
which will require a hose connection with a depressor to open.
OPTIONAL PUMPOUT SAFETY CONTROL SETTINGS
(Fig. 33) — The optional pumpout system high-pressure
switch opens at 185 psig (1276 kPa) and closes at 140 psig
(965 kPa). Check the switch setting by operating the pumpout
compressor and slowly throttling the pumpout condenser
water.
WARNING
The disconnect on the starter front panel does not always
de-energize 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.
Periodically vacuum accumulated debris on the internal
parts. Use electrical cleaner for electrical parts as required.
Power connections on newly installed starters may relax
and loosen after a month of operation. Turn power off and retighten. Recheck annually thereafter.
CAUTION
Loose power connections can cause voltage spikes, overheating, malfunctioning, or failures.
Recalibrate Pressure Transducers — Once a
year, the pressure transducers should be checked against a pressure gage reading. Check all eight transducers: the 2 oil differential pressure transducers, the condenser pressure transducer,
the cooler pressure transducer, and the optional waterside pressure transducer pairs (consisting of 4 flow devices: 2 cooler, 2
condenser). For details, see page 46.
Ordering Replacement Chiller Parts —
When ordering Carrier specified parts, the following infor-
mation must accompany an order:
• chiller model number and serial number
• name, quantity, and part number of the part required
• delivery address and method of shipment.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Overview —
to help the operator and technician troubleshoot a 19XR chiller.
• The HMI shows the chiller’s actual operating conditions
and can be viewed while the unit is running.
• The HMI default screen indicates when an alarm occurs.
Once all alarms have been cleared (by correcting the
problems), the HMI default screen indicates normal
operation. For information about displaying and resetting
alarms and a list of alert codes, see the 19XR with PIC 5
Controls Operation and Troubleshooting manual.
• The Configuration menu screens display information that
helps to diagnose problems with chilled water temperature control, chilled water temperature control overrides,
hot gas bypass, surge algorithm status, and time schedule
operation.
• The quick test feature facilitates the proper operation and
test of temperature sensors, pressure transducers, the
guide vane actuator, diffuser actuator (if equipped), oil
pump, water pumps, tower control, and other on/off out puts while the compressor is stopped. It also has the ability to lock off the compressor and turn on water pum ps
for pumpout operation. The HMI shows the temperatures
and pressures required during these operations.
• If an operating fault is detected, an alarm indicator is is
displayed on the HMI default screen. A more detailed
message — along with a diagnostic message — is also
stored in the Current Alarms table.
• Review the Alarms History table to view other less critical events which may have occurred. Compare timing of
relevant events and alarms.
For detailed information about alarms, see the 19XR with
PIC 5 Controls Operation and Troubleshooting manual. Press
the bell icon in the top right corner of the home screen to access
current alarms and alarm history, and to reset alarms.
The PIC 5 control system has many features
Checking Display Messages — The first area to
check when troubleshooting the 19XR is the HMI display. Status messages are displayed at the bottom of the screen, and the
alarm icon indicates a fault. For a complete list of alarms, see
the 19XR with PIC 5 Controls Operation and Troubleshooting
manual.
Checking Temperature Sensors — All tempera-
ture sensors are thermistor-type sensors. This means that the resistance of the sensor varies with temperature. All sensors have
the same resistance characteristics. If the controls are on, determine sensor temperature by measuring voltage drop; if the controls are powered off, determine sensor temperature by measuring resistance. Compare the readings to the values listed in
Tables 11 and 12.
RESISTANCE CHECK — Turn off the control power and,
from the module, disconnect the terminal plug of the sensor in
question. With a digital ohmmeter, measure sensor resistance
between receptacles as designated by the wiring diagram. The
resistance and corresponding temperature are listed in
Tables 11 and 12. Check the resistance of both wires to ground.
This resistance should be infinite.
VOLT A G E DR O P — The voltage drop across any energized
sensor can be measured with a digital voltmeter while the control is energized. Table 11 or 12 lists the relationship between
temperature and sensor voltage drop (volts dc measured across
the energized sensor). Exercise care when measuring voltage to
prevent damage to the sensor leads, connector plugs, and modules. Sensors should also be checked at the sensor plugs.
CAUTION
Relieve all refrigerant pressure or drain the water before
removing any thermowell threaded into the refrigerant
pressure boundary. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury and equipment damage.

medium of known temperature and compare that temperature
to the measured reading. The thermometer used to determine
the temperature of the medium should be of laboratory quality
with 0.5 F (0.25 C) graduations. The sensor in question
should be accurate to within 2 F (1.2 C).
Note that the PIC 5 control module, MAINTENANCE
menu, offers a temperature sensor calibration feature where
the sensor temperature can be offset. To use this feature, place
the sensor at 32 F (0 C) or other known temperature. Read the
raw temperature and calculate offset based on the reading seen
in the TEMP_CAL menu. Enter and execute the offset, which
cannot exceed ± 2 F (1.2 C).
See Fig. 2 for sensor locations. The sensors are immersed
directly in the refrigerant or water circuits. When installing a
BEARING #1
new sensor, apply a pipe sealant or thread sealant to the sensor
threads.
An additional thermistor, factory installed in the bottom of
the cooler barrel, is displayed as Evap Refrig Liquid Temp on
the TEMPERATURES display screen. This thermistor provides additional protection against a loss of water flow.
DUAL TEMPERATURE SENSORS — For servicing convenience, there are 2 redundant sensors each on the bearing and
motor temperature sensors. If one of the sensors is damaged,
the other can be used by simply moving a wire. The number 2
terminal in the sensor terminal box is the common line. To use
the second sensor, move the wire from the number 1 position to
the number 3 position. See Fig. 34 or Fig. 35.
TERMINAL BLOCK LOCATED
ON END OF MOTOR COVER

Checking Pressure Transducers — There are 4
factory-installed pressure transducers measuring refrigerant
and oil pressure, and a fifth pressure transducer measuring
economizer pressure.
These transducers can be calibrated if necessary. It is
necessary to calibrate at initial start-up, particularly at high
altitude locations, to ensure the proper refrigerant temperature/
pressure relationship. Each transducer is supplied with 5 vdc
power. If the power supply fails, a transducer voltage reference
alarm occurs. If the transducer reading is suspected of being
faulty, check the TRANSDUCER VOLTAGE REF supply
voltage. It should be 5 vdc ± 0.5 v as displayed in MAINTENANCE MENU MAINTENANCE OTHERS, where all
the transducer voltages are shown. If the TRANSDUCER
VOLTAGE REF supply voltage is correct, the transducer
should be recalibrated or replaced.
Also check that inputs have not been grounded and are not
receiving anything other than a 4 to 20 mA signal.
TRANSDUCER REPLACEMENT — Since the transducers
are mounted on Schrader-type fittings, there is no need to remove refrigerant from the vessel when replacing the transducers. Disconnect the transducer wiring. Do not pull on the trans-ducer wires. Unscrew the transducer from the Schrader fitting.
When installing a new transducer, do not use pipe sealer
(which can plug the sensor). Put the plug connector back on the
sensor and snap into place. Check for refrigerant leaks.
WARNING
Be sure to use a back-up wrench on the Schrader fitting
whenever removing a transducer, since the Schrader fitting
may back out with the transducer, causing a large leak and
possible injury to personnel.
COOLER AND CONDENSER PRESSURE TRANSDUCE R CALI BRATIO N — Calibration can be checked by
comparing the pressure readings from the transducer to an
accurate refrigeration gage reading. These readings can be
viewed or calibrated from the HMI screen. The transducer can
be checked and calibrated at 2 pressure points. These calibration points are 0 psig (0 kPa) and between 25 and 250 psig
(173 and 1724 kPa). Wiring is shown in Fig. 36. To calibrate
these transducers:
1. Shut down the compressor, cooler, and condenser pumps.
NOTE: There should be no flow through the heat
exchangers.
2. Disconnect the transducer in question from its Schrader
fitting for cooler or condenser transducer calibration. For
oil pressure or flow device calibration, leave the transducer in place.
NOTE: If the cooler or condenser vessels are at
0 psig (0 kPa) or are open to atmospheric pressure, the
transducers can be calibrated for zero without removing the transducer from the vessel.
3. Access the PRESSURE or HYDRAULIC STATUS
screen and view the particular transducer reading. To calibrate oil pressure or waterside flow device, view the particular reading. It should read 0 psig (0 kPa). If the
reading is not 0 psig (0 kPa), but within ± 5 psig (35 kPa),
the value may be set to zero from the Maintenance Menu
while the appropriate transducer parameter is highlighted.
The value will now go to zero.
If the transducer value is not within the calibration range,
the transducer returns to the original reading. If the pressure is within the allowed range (noted above), check the
voltage ratio of the transducer. To obtain the voltage ratio,
divide the voltage (dc) input from the transducer by the
supply voltage signal or measure across the positive
(+ red) and negative (– black) leads of the transducer. The
input to reference voltage ratio must be between 0.80 and
0.11 for the software to allow calibration. Rotate the waterside flow pressure device from the inlet nozzle to the
outlet nozzle and repeat this step. If rotating the waterside
flow device does not allow calibration, then pressurize
the transducer until the ratio is within range. Then attempt
calibration again.
4. Pressures can be calibrated between 100 and 250 psig
(689.5 and 1723.7 kPa) by attaching a regulated 250 psig
(1724 kPa) pressure (usually from a nitrogen cylinder).
For calibration, access the Pressure Sensor Calibration
Menu from the Maintenance Menu and calibrate the appropriate sensor.
The PIC 5 control system does not allow calibration if the
transducer is too far out of calibration. In this case, a new transducer must be installed and re-calibrated. If calibration problems are encountered on the OIL PRESSURE DELTA P channel, sometimes swapping the compressor oil discharge pressure
transducer and the oil sump pressure transducer will offset an
adverse transducer to
to proceed.
OPTIONAL THERMAL DISPERSION FLOW SWITCH
CALI BRA TIO N — Set the flow through the water circuit to
the minimum safe flow that will be encountered. Thermal dispersion switch inputs are shown in Fig. 37. The Water Pressure
Option must be enabled.
Reduce the sensitivity of the switch by turning the adjustment counter-clockwise until the yellow LED turns off. This
indicates that the switch is now open.
Increase the sensitivity of the flow switch by turning the adjustment potentiometer clockwise until the yellow LED is lit.
In case of nuisance trips at low flow increase the sensitivity
of the switch by turning the potentiometer clockwise.
HYDRAULIC STATUS — The HYDRAULIC STATUS
screen (access from the Main Menu) provides a convenient
way to detect if any of the cooler/condenser pressure switches
(if installed) are in need of calibration. With no flow and no
added resistors the water delta should read zero psig (0 kPa). If
it does not, the value may be set to zero using PRESSURE
SENSOR CALIB located in the Maintenance Menu.
lerance stack
up and allow the calibration
High Altitude Locations — Because the chiller is ini-
tially calibrated at sea level, it is necessary to recalibrate the
pressure transducers if the chiller has been moved to a high
altitude location. See the calibration procedure in the 19XR
with PIC 5 Controls Operation and Troubleshooting guide.
Note that Atmospheric Pressure can be adjusted in the Service
Parameters Menu (located in the Configuration Menu).

Quick Test — The Quick Test feature is located in the
Main Menu. Through this feature one can perform guide vane
calibration, test chiller status, test the status of various actuators, view water temperature deltas, test oil pump and oil heater
relays, as well as control inlet guide vane, hot gass bypass,
economizer damper, alarms, condenser and chilled water
pumps. The tests can help to determine whether a switch is defective or a pump relay is not operating, as well as other useful
troubleshooting issues. During pumpdown operations, the
pumps are energized to prevent freeze-up and the vessel pressures and temperatures are displayed.
