Features/Benefits
AquaForce 30XA chillers
provide best full load and
part load performance in a
single chassis from 80 to
500 tons.
Premium performance
The Aqua Series of chillers are
Carrier’s most efficient air-cooled models. The AquaForce chiller is one of
the most affordable air-cooled chillers
to operate (and maintain). The
AquaForce chiller offers full load EER
(Energy Efficiency Ratio) up to 10.7
and IPLV (Integrated Part-Load Value)
up to 15.1. High-efficiency rotary
screw compressors with infinitely variable slide valves allow the chillers to
exactly match actual load conditions,
delivering exceptional part load performance. The AquaForce chillers will
deliver superior efficiency through all
operating ranges to keep costs and
demand charges down. This exceptional performance will have a significant impact on energy savings and cost
of ownership.

AquaForce™ chillers’ quiet
operation make them
ideal for sound sensitive
applications
Great performance is delivered in a
low sound unit that will be quiet
enough for any application including
hospitals, schools and other sites
located in residential neighborhoods. The AquaForce chiller’s
AeroAcoustic™ fan is almost twice as
quiet as the competition’s per cfm.
During part load operation, when
units operate with fewer fans, means
even quieter operation in cooler
weather and during nighttime
operation.
Built in reliability
AquaForce chillers were developed
under one of the most exacting
qualification programs ever used
for commercial chiller products.
The compressors are virtually
maintenance-free and protected by
an auto-adaptive control that minimizes compressor wear. Operate
AquaForce chillers year-round from
–20 F (–29 C) to 125 F (52 C), with a
combination of options and control
methods. The following features are
also provided to help ensure reliable
performance:
Multiple independent circuits
provide redundancy and greater
reliability.
Electronic expansion valve (EXV)
allows for precise control through all
operating ranges.
Highly efficient, reliable
chilled water circuit
AquaForce chillers provide a comprehensive chilled water circuit utilizing a
high efficiency shell-in-tube flooded
cooler. Units are equipped with a
100% drainable cooler.
Electronic thermal-dispersion
flow switch is included with the cool-
er. The switch is factory installed and
tested and contains no moving parts
for high reliability.
Environmentally sound
R-134a refrigerant enables you to
make a responsible choice in helping
to preserve the environment. R-134a
refrigerant is an HFC refrigerant that
does not contain ozone-layer damaging chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is
unaffected by the Montreal Protocol.
R-134a refrigerant is a safe, nontoxic, efficient and environmentally
sound refrigerant.
Easy installation
A single chassis design provides a
one-piece unit from 80 to 500 tons.
The base rail is industrial-quality
1
/4-in. cold-rolled steel for maximum
structural integrity. The zinc-dipped
and painted galvanized frame
provides protection for corrosion
resistance. With such a structurally
sound base, no perimeter mounting
rail is needed.
ComfortLinkTM controls for
ease of use
The ComfortLink controls communicate in plain English, making it as
easy as possible to monitor and control each AquaForce chiller while
accurately maintaining fluid temperatures. Carrier 30 Series chillers’
ComfortLink controls provide features such as chilled water temperature reset, demand limiting, compressor wear minimization and protection,
temperature and pressure displays
and diagnostic functions. These controls result in higher chiller reliability,
simplified training and more productive service calls with correspondingly
lower operational and maintenance
costs.
Carrier's exclusive handheld
Navigator™ display provides convenience and powerful information in
the palm of your hand. The Navigator
display helps technicians to quickly diagnose problems and even prevent
them from occurring.
All AquaForce units are ready to be
used with the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN).

white paper for more information.
High ambient temperature option provides highspeed condenser fan motors to increase the condenser airflow. This option may allow for an increase in machine
capacity, and may also result the selection of a smaller
chassis to meet given capacity requirements. The high
ambient temperature option is not available on 30XA080120 units.
Minus-one-pass cooler provides a lower pressure drop
through the cooler for applications with low delta T or high
flow or where the coolers are piped in a series.
Plus-one-pass cooler provides a greater efficiency for
brine applications and in applications with a high delta T
and low flow.
Wye-delta start is an alternate starting method which
reduces the in-rush current when starting the compressor.
Compressor suction service valve provides additional
protection. Standard refrigerant discharge isolation and liquid valves enable service personnel to store the refrigerant
charge in the cooler or condenser during servicing. This
factory-installed option allows for isolation of the compressor from the cooler vessel.

Selection procedure
Carrier’s Packaged Chiller Builder Selection Program provides quick, easy selection of Carrier’s air-cooled liquid
chillers. The program considers specific temperature, fluid
and flow requirements among other factors such as fouling
and altitude corrections.
Before selecting a chiller, consider the following points:
Leaving water temperature (LWT)
• If the LWT is less than 40 F (4.4 C), loop freeze protection to a minimum of 15° F (8.3° C) below the LWT set
point is required. The medium temperature brine option
is also required.
• If the LWT requirement is greater than 60 F (15.5 C), a
mixing loop is required.
Entering water temperature (EWT)
• If the EWT requirement is greater than 70 F (21.1 C), a
mixing loop is required. The EWT should not exceed
70 F (21.1 C) for extended operation. Pulldown can be
accomplished from 95 F (35 C).
Cooler flow rate or cooler delta-T:
• The cooler delta-T (EWT – LWT) must fall between
5 and 20° F (2.8 to 11.1° C).
• For larger or smaller delta-T applications, a mixing loop
is required.
• If the cooler flow is variable and the rate of change of
flow should not exceed 10% per minute, a loop
volume of greater than 3 gallons per ton (3.2 l/kW) is
recommended.
Cooler pressure drop:
• A high cooler pressure drop can be expected when the
cooler delta-T is low. A mixing loop can help to alleviate
this situation.
Alternatively, consider a reduced pass option for a lower
delta-T.
• A low cooler pressure drop can be expected when
cooler delta-T is high.
• Consider the plus-one-pass cooler option to increase
delta-T and performance.
Water quality, fouling factor:
• Poor water quality can increase the required cooler fouling factor.
• Higher than standard fouling factors lead to lower
capacity and higher input kW from a given chiller size
compared to running the same application with better
quality water (and lower fouling factors).
Operation below 32 F (0° C):
• Low ambient temperature head pressure control is
required.
• Consider wind baffles if average wind speed is greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h).
• Consider higher loop volumes, 6 to 10 gallons per
nominal ton (6.5 to 10.8 l/kW).
• Loop freeze protection with glycol is strongly recommended to a minimum of 15° F (8.3° C) below lowest
anticipated ambient temperature.
• Chilled water pump control is strongly recommended;
otherwise override capability is required.
Chiller idle below 32 F (0° C):
• Loop freeze protection with glycol is strongly recommended to a minimum of 15° F (8.3° C) below lowest
anticipated ambient temperature.
• Chilled water pump control is strongly recommended;
otherwise override capability is required.
• Drain the cooler — This will require a small amount of
glycol for residual water. Cooler heaters will need to be
disconnected.
• Highest allowable ambient air temperature is 125 F
(52 C).
NOTE: It may be necessary to select the high ambient
option to obtain performance with ambient air temperatures approaching 125 F (52 C).
Cooling capacity requirement:
• Do not oversize the chillers by more than 15% at design
conditions.
• If capacity control is required below the standard minimum step of unloading, the minimum load control
option should be employed. (See Selection Guide.)
Coil corrosion requirements:
• Coastal application
• Industrial application
• Coastal/industrial application
• Urban application
•Farming
Temperature reset:
• Return water (standard)
• Outside air temperature (standard)
• Space temperature (accessory sensor required)
• 4 to 20 mA (requires an Energy Management Module)
Demand limit:
• 2-step (requires an Energy Management Module)
• 4 to 20 mA (requires an Energy Management Module)
• CCN Loadshed

Controls
Microprocessor
The ComfortLink™ microprocessor controls overall unit
operation and controls a number of processes simultaneously. These processes include internal timers, reading
inputs, analog to digital conversions, fan control, display
control, diagnostic control, output relay control, demand
limit, capacity control, head pressure control, and temperature reset. Some processes are updated almost continuously,
others every 2 to 3 seconds, and some every 30 seconds.
The microprocessor routine is started by switching the
Emergency ON-OFF switch to ON position. Pump control
of external pumps (where configured) will energize the
cooler pump to the internal (or CCN) time schedule (or input
occupied signal from external system).
When the unit receives a call for cooling (based on a
deviation from chilled water set point), the unit stages up in
capacity to maintain the cooler fluid set point. The first
compressor starts 1 to 3 minutes after the call for cooling.
The ComfortLink microprocessor controls the capacity of
the chiller by varying the number of compressors on and
each loading capacity to satisfy actual dynamic load conditions. The control maintains leaving-fluid temperature set
point shown on the Navigator™ device through intelligent
positioning of the slide valve and compressor cycling.
Accuracy depends on loop volume, loop flow rate, load,
and outdoor-air temperature. No adjustment for cooling
range or cooler flow rate is required, because the control
automatically compensates for cooling range by measuring
both return-fluid temperature and leaving-fluid temperature. This is referred to as leaving-fluid temperature control
with return-fluid temperature compensation.
The basic logic for determining when to add or remove
capacity is a time band integration of deviation from set
point plus rate of change of leaving-fluid temperature.
When leaving-fluid temperature is close to the set point
and slowly moving closer, logic prevents additional capacity. If leaving-fluid temperature is less than 34 F (1.1 C) for
water, or 6° F (3.3° C) below the brine freeze set point for
brine units, the unit is shut off until the water temperature
for brine reaches 34 F (1.1 C) or to 6° F (3.3° C) above the
set point for brine to protect against freezing.
If pulldown control has been selected (adjustable setting),
no additional capacity is added as long as the difference
between leaving-fluid temperature and the set point is
greater than 4° F (2.2° C) and rate of change in leavingwater temperature is greater than the adjustable setting. If
it has been less than 90 seconds since the last capacity
change, compressors will continue to run unless a safety
device trips. This prevents rapid cycling and also helps
return oil during short operating periods.
Control sequence
Off cycle — If ambient temperature is below 36 F (2.2 C),
cooler heaters are also energized.
Start-up — After control circuit switches on, the prestart
process takes place, then microprocessor checks itself,
starts pump (if configured) and waits for temperature to
stabilize. The controlled pulldown feature limits compressor loading on start-up to reduce demand on start-up and
unnecessary compressor usage.
Capacity control — On the first call for cooling, the
microprocessor starts initial compressor and fan stage on
lead circuit.
As additional cooling is required, the capacity of the
compressor is increased by changing the position of the
slide valve. As the load increases above the compressor’s
capacity, another compressor is started and both staged
together.
The speed at which capacity is added or reduced is controlled by temperature deviation from set point and rate of
temperature change of chilled fluid.
The Main Base Board (MBB) responds to the supply
chilled water temperature to cycle the compressors to
match cooling load requirements.
The Minimum Load control valve is energized by the
MBB. The valve allows hot gas to pass directly into the
cooler circuit on the initial step of unloading, permitting
the unit to operate at lower loads with less compressor
cycling.
Sensors
Thermistors are used to control temperature-sensing inputs
to the microprocessor. No additional thermistor sensors are
required for optional leaving chilled water temperature,
return water, or outdoor air reset.
The following sensors can be used on 30XA units:
• Cooler leaving chilled fluid temperature (T1)
• Cooler entering fluid (return) temperature (T2)
• Outside-air temperature (T9)
• Space Temperature (T10)
Two refrigerant pressure transducers are used in each
circuit for sensing suction and discharge pressure. The
microprocessor uses these inputs to control capacity and
fan cycling.
• Saturated condensing temperature
• Cooler saturation temperature
•Oil
•Economizer
Additional information
Detailed information on controls and operation is available
in the Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service, and Troubleshooting guide included with each unit. Packaged Service
Training programs are also available. Contact a local
Carrier representative for more information.
Dynamic ComfortLink controls keep the chiller on
line during periods of extreme operating conditions. If the
entering fluid temperature is 95 F (35 C) and the saturated
suction temperature is 50 F (10 C) or higher the maximum
operating pressure (MOP) feature limits the suction to keep
the chiller online. The control automatically starts the
chiller in the unloaded state to eliminate the potential of
compressor overload due to high head pressure or low suction pressure. The controller will equalize run time on each
circuit through the lead/lag feature. If a circuit becomes
disabled, the control will automatically set the active circuit
to lead, keeping the chiller online at a reduced capacity.
41
Page 42
Controls (cont)
Standard ComfortLink™ controls with Navigator™
display — A portable hand-held display for convenient
access to unit status, operation, configuration and troubleshooting diagnostics capability is standard on 30XA units.
The four-line, 20-character LCD display provides clear
language information in English, French, Spanish, or
Portuguese. The weatherproof enclosure and industrial
grade extension cord enable the Navigator display to be
ideally suited for outdoor applications. Magnets located on
the back of the module allow attachment to any sheet
metal component for hands-free operation.
Low-temperature override — This feature prevents
LCWT (leaving chilled water temperature) from overshooting the set point and possibly causing a nuisance trip-out
by the freeze protection.
High-temperature override — This feature allows the
chiller to add capacity quickly during rapid load variations.
Temperature reset
The Energy Management Module is required for 4 to
20 mA reset of LCWT in constant fluid systems. Reset by
return fluid, outdoor-air temperature, or space temperature
does not require this option. Reset reduces compressor
power usage at part load when design LCWT is not necessary. Humidity control should be considered since higher
coil temperatures resulting from reset will reduce latent
heat capacity. Three reset options are offered, based on
the following:
Return-Fluid Temperature
return (or entering) fluid temperature decreases (indicating
load decrease). Option may be used in any application
where return fluid provides accurate load indication. A limitation of return fluid reset is that LCWT may only be reset
to value of design return fluid temperature.
Outdoor-Air Temperature
ambient temperature decreases (indicating load decrease).
This reset should be applied only where outdoor ambient
temperature is an accurate indication of load.
Space Temperature
ature decreases (indicating load decrease). This reset
should be applied only where space temperature is an
accurate indication of load. An accessory space temperature thermistor is required.
For details on applying a reset option, refer to the
Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service and Troubleshooting literature shipped with the unit. Obtain ordering part
numbers for reset option from the Packaged Chiller
Builder program or contact a local Carrier representative.
Abnormal conditions — All control safeties in the chiller
operate through compressor protection board or control
relay and microprocessor.
Loss of feedback signal to the MBB will cause the compressor(s) to shut down. For other safeties, microprocessor
makes appropriate decision to shut down a compressor
due to a safety trip or bad sensor reading and displays
appropriate failure code on the display. Chiller holds in
safety mode until reset; it then reverts to normal control
when unit is reset.
Low-pressure safety — Safety cuts out if system pressure drops below minimum.
increases LCWT set point as
increases the LCWT as outdoor
increases the LCWT as space temper-
High-pressure cutout — Switch shuts down compressors if compressor discharge pressure increases to
305 psig (2102.7 kPa).
Compressor anti-cycling — This feature limits compressor cycling.
Loss of flow protection — Proof of flow switches are
standard and installed on all 30XA chillers.
Sensor failures — Failures are detected by the
microprocessor.
Accessory controls — Demand can be limited by controlling the chiller capacity through the demand limit
control (the Energy Management Module is required for
this function). This FIOP/accessory interfaces with the
microprocessor to control the unit so that the chiller’s kW
demand does not exceed its setting. It is activated from an
external switch or a 4 to 20 mA signal.
The standard ComfortLink control is programmed to
accept various accessory temperature reset options (based
on outdoor-air temperature [standard], return-fluid temperature [standard], or space temperature [which requires
accessory thermistor]), that resets the LCWT. An accessory
thermistor (T10) is required if space temperature reset is
selected. The Energy Management Module (EMM) is only
required for temperature reset that is initiated by a 4 to
20 mA signal.
Demand limit — If the demand limit is applied, it limits
the total power draw of unit to a selected point by controlling the number of operational compressors during periods
of peak electrical demand.
The Energy Management Module is required for either
2-step or 4 to 20 mA demand limit.
Electronic expansion valve (EXV) — The EXV controls refrigerant flow to the cooler for different operating
conditions by varying an orifice size to increase or decrease
the flow area through the valve based on microprocessor
input. The orifice is positioned by a stepper motor through
approximately 3,600 discrete steps and is monitored every
three seconds.
Diagnostics — The microprocessor may be put through
a service test (see Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service,
and Troubleshooting literature). Service test confirms
microprocessor is functional, informs observer through display the condition of each sensor and switch in chiller, and
allows observer to check for proper operation of fans and
compressors.
Default settings — To facilitate quick start-ups, 30XA
chillers with ComfortLink controls are pre-configured with
a default setting that assumes stand-alone operation supplying 44 F (6.6 C) chilled water.
Configuration settings will be based on any options
or accessories included with the unit at the time of
manufacturing.
Date and time are set to U.S.A. Eastern Time zone and
will need reconfiguring based on location and local time
zone. If operation based on occupancy scheduling is
desired, schedule must be set during installation.

Page 43
Ice duty —ComfortLink™ controls have the capability of
reduced leaving fluid temperature operation for thermal
storage, or ice duty. The optional Energy Management
display includes input contacts for the “ice done” signal
generated by the thermal storage control system. The ice
duty feature may be configured to start on an external
input command or by the ComfortLink standard internal
scheduling function. The ice duty function requires brine
modification for leaving fluid temperatures below 40 F
(4.4 C). Ice duty may be used in combination with any
other standard features offered by the Energy Management
Module and ComfortLink controls.
The production of ice, which is stored for peak cooling
demands, can significantly decrease energy costs. The unit
produces ice (normally at night) by supplying ice storage
tanks with low temperature cooling fluid. The chiller takes
advantage of reduced ambient conditions at night for icemaking mode, so the capacity suffers a lower penalty for
the low leaving fluid temperatures.
At peak cooling demands, the chiller and the stored ice
may share the cooling load to reduce operating costs. The
thermal storage system may potentially reduce the size of
the chiller plant required to meet demand loads.

Application data
Chiller location and clearances
Do not locate near sound sensitive areas without proper
acoustic consideration. For applications requiring mounting a chiller on a building rooftop, consideration should be
given to using rubber-in-shear or spring isolators to minimize structure-borne transmission. Unit must be level when
installed to ensure proper oil return to the compressors.
Clearances must be provided around chillers for airflow,
service and local code requirements. See dimensional
drawings for specific unit clearance requirements. Ensure
adequate clearance between adjacent chillers is maintained. A minimum of 10 ft is recommended. Chiller fan
discharge must be at least as high as adjacent solid walls.
Installation in pits is not recommended.
Strainers
A strainer with a minimum screen size of 20 mesh must be
installed in the entering cooler fluid line, no more than
10 ft ahead of the cooler.
Oversizing chillers
Oversizing chillers by more than 15% at design conditions
must be avoided as the system operating efficiency is
adversely affected (resulting in greater or excessive electrical demand). When future expansion of equipment is
anticipated, install a single chiller to meet present load
requirements and add a second chiller to meet the additional load demand. It is also recommended that 2 smaller
chillers be installed where operation at minimum load is
critical. The operation of a smaller chiller loaded to a
greater percentage over minimum is preferred to operating
a single chiller at or near its minimum recommended value.
Minimum Load Control should not be used as a means to
allow oversizing chillers. Minimum Load Control should be
given consideration where substantial operating time is
anticipated below the minimum unloading step.
Cooler water temperature
1. Maximum leaving chilled water temperature (LCWT)
for the unit is 60 F (15.5 C). Unit can start and
pull down with up to 95 F (35 C) entering-water
temperature. It is recommended that entering-water
temperature not exceed 70 F (21.1).
2. Minimum LCWT for a standard unit is 40 F (4.4 C).
For leaving-water temperatures between 15 and
39.9 F (–9.4 to 43 C) an inhibited antifreeze solution
is required. Application of chiller to 15 F (–9.4 C) is
possible by ordering the factory-installed medium
temperature brine option.
NOTE: Water flowing through cooler should not exceed
100 F.
Cooler flow/range
Ratings and performance data in this publication are for a
cooling temperature rise of 10° F (5.5° C). The 30XA chillers may be operated at a different temperature rise, providing flow limits are not exceeded and corrections to system
guidelines are made. For minimum and maximum cooler
flow rates, see the Minimum and Maximum Cooler Flow
Rates table. A high flow rate is generally limited by the
maximum pressure drop that can be tolerated by the unit.
The 30XA chillers are designed for a full load temperature
rise of 5° to 20° F (2.8° to 11.1° C). Use the Packaged
Chiller Program to obtain the rating if a temperature rise
other than 10° F (5.5° C) is used.
Minimum cooler flow (maximum cooler temperature rise) — The minimum cooler flow for standard units
is shown in the Minimum and Maximum Cooler Flow
Rates table. When system design conditions require a
lower flow (or higher rise) than the minimum allowable
cooler flow, follow the recommendations below.
a. Multiple smaller chillers may be applied in series, each
providing a portion of the design temperature rise.
b. Cooler fluid may be recirculated to raise the flow rate to
the chiller. However, the mixed temperature entering
cooler must be maintained a minimum of at least 5 F
(2.8 C) above the LCWT.
NOTE: Recirculation flow is shown below.
RECIRCULATION FLOW
Maximum cooler flow — The maximum cooler flow
(approximately 5° F rise) results in a practical maximum
pressure drop through cooler.
Return fluid may bypass the cooler to keep the pressure
drop through the cooler within acceptable limits. This permits a higher delta T with lower fluid flow through cooler
and mixing after the cooler.
NOTE: Bypass flow is shown below.
BYPASS FLOW
Variable cooler flow rates
Variable rates may be applied to a standard chiller. The unit
will, however, attempt to maintain a constant leaving
chilled water temperature. In such cases minimum flow
must be in excess of minimum flow given in the Minimum
and Maximum Cooler Fluid Flow Rates table, and minimum water volume must be in excess of 3 gallons per ton
(3.2 l/kw). Flow rate must change in steps of less than
10% per minute. Apply 6 gal. or more per ton (6.5 l/kw)
water loop volume minimum if flow rate changes more
rapidly.
45
Page 46
Application data (cont)
Water loop volume
The volume in circulation must equal or exceed 3 gal. per
nominal ton (6.5 l/kW) of cooling for temperature stability
and accuracy in normal air conditioning applications. In
process cooling applications, or for operation at ambient
temperature below 32 F (0° C) with low loading conditions, there should be from 6 to 10 gal. per ton (6.5 to
10.8 l/kW). To achieve this volume, it is often necessary to
install a tank in the loop.
Tank should be baffled to ensure there is no stratification
and that water (or brine) entering tank is adequately mixed
with liquid in the tank.

Cooler fouling factor
The fouling factor used to calculate tabulated ratings is
0.001 ft
factor is increased, unit capacity decreases and compressor
power increases. Corrections to published ratings can be
approximated by using the following multipliers:
Freeze protection for the cooler is standard on all 30XA
air-cooled chillers. All units are equipped with cooler heaters. Units are protected from freezing down to 0° F (–18 C)
through the cooler heaters and control algorithms. If a unit
controls the chilled water pump/valves, allowing for flow
through the cooler, the unit is protected from freezing
down to –20 F (–29 C). Since power is sometimes lost for
extended periods during winter storms, freeze protection
provided by heater tapes will be effective only if a back-up
power supply can be assured for the unit’s control circuit,
heater and cooler pump. If not protected with an antifreeze solution, draining the cooler and outdoor piping is
recommended if the system will not be used during freezing
weather conditions.
Two conditions that must be considered when determining antifreeze concentration are both leaving water set
point and ambient freeze conditions. Both of these parameters can help determine the recommended concentration
level. Higher concentration must be used to adequately
protect the machine.
NOTE: Use only antifreeze solutions approved for heat exchanger duty.
For applications in which the leaving water temperature
set point is less than 40 F (4.4 C), a suitable inhibited antifreeze solution must be used. The solution concentration
must be sufficient to protect the chilled water loop to a
freeze protection (first crystals) concentration of at least
15° F (8.3° C) below the leaving water temperature set
point.
If the chiller refrigerant or fluid lines are in an area where
ambient conditions fall below 34º F (1.1º C), it is required
that an antifreeze solution be added to protect the unit and
fluid piping to a temperature of 15º F (8.3° C) below the
lowest anticipated ambient temperature.
Select concentration based on either burst or freeze protection as dictated by the application. If the chiller does not
operate during the winter, nor is a start-up expected, a
burst protection concentration is recommended. This concentration may not be high enough to pump the fluid
through the unit. Burst protection is typically a lower concentration that will provide better performance from the
machine. If the chiller does operate during winter, a freeze
protection concentration is recommended. This concentration will be high enough to keep the fluid in a condition
that it can be pumped at low ambient conditions.
IMPORTANT: Glycol anti-freeze solutions are highly
recommended since heater tapes provide no protection
in the event of a power failure.
Consult glycol fluid manufacturers for burst protection
recommendations and fluid specifications.
High ambient temperature operation
High outdoor ambient chiller start-up and operation is possible for standard 30XA chillers at ambient temperatures
up to 125 F (52 C) at nominal voltage.
Low ambient temperature operation
Units will start and operate down to 32 F (0° C) as
standard. Operation to –20 F (–29 C) requires optional
low ambient head pressure control as well as wind baffles
(field fabricated and installed to all units for operation
below 32 F [0° C]) if wind velocity is anticipated to be
greater than 5 mph (8 kp/h). Inhibited propylene glycol or
other suitable corrosion-resistant anti-freeze solution must
be field supplied and installed in all units for unit operation
below 34 F (1.1 C). Solution must be added to fluid loop to
protect loop down to 15° F (8.3° C) below minimum operating ambient temperature. Concentration should be based
on expected minimum temperature and either “Burst” or
“Freeze” protection levels. At least 6 gal per ton (6.5 l/kw)
of water volume is the recommended minimum for a moderate system load.

Multiple chillers
Where multiple chillers are required, or where standby
capability is desired, chillers may be installed in parallel.
Units may be of the same size or different sizes. However,
cooler flow rates must be balanced according to the recommendations for each chiller to ensure proper flow.
Unit software is capable of controlling two units as a single plant. Refer to the Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service, and Troubleshooting guide for further details.
Dual chiller control
The ComfortLink™ controller allows 2 chillers (piped in
parallel or series) to operate as a single chilled water plant
with standard control functions coordinated through the
master chiller controller. This standard ComfortLink fea-
ture requires a communication link between the 2 chillers.
There are several advantages to this type of control:
• Redundancy (multiple circuits)
• Better low load control (lower tonnage capability)
• Lower rigging lift weights (2 machines rather than
1 large machine)
• Chiller Lead-Lag Operation (evens the wear between
the two machines)
Parallel dual chiller operation — Parallel Chiller Operation is the recommended option for Dual Chiller Control.
In this case, each chiller must control its own dedicated
pump or isolation valve. Balancing valves are recommended to ensure proper flow in each chiller. Two fieldsupplied and installed dual chiller leaving water temperature sensors are required, one for each module, for this
function to operate properly.
Consider adding additional isolation valves to isolate
each chiller to allow for service on a machine, and still
allow for partial capacity from the other chiller.
Series dual chiller operation — Series Chiller Operation is an alternate control method supported by the
ComfortLink control system. Certain applications might
require that the two chillers be connected in series. For
nominal 10 F (5.6 C) cooler ranges, use the Minus 1 Pass
Cooler arrangement to reduce the fluid-side pressure drop.
Use the standard cooler pass arrangement for low flow,
high cooler temperature rise applications. Two fieldsupplied and installed dual chiller leaving water temperature sensors are required, one for each module, for this
function to operate properly.
Consider adding additional piping and isolation valves to
isolate each chiller to allow for service on a machine, and
still allow for partial capacity from the other chiller.
Condenser coil protection (Enviro-Shield™)
Refer to the Environmental Corrosion Protection white
paper for more information.
Pre-coated aluminum-fin coils have a durable epoxyphenolic coating applied to the fin prior to the fin stamping
process to provide protection in mildly corrosive coastal
environments. Pre-coated coils have an inert barrier
between the aluminum fin and copper tube. This barrier
electrically disconnects the dissimilar metals to minimize
the potential for galvanic corrosion. This economical
option provides substantial corrosion protection beyond
the standard uncoated coil construction.
Copper-fin coils provide increased corrosion resistance
in moderate coastal environments where industrial air pollution is not present. All copper coils eliminate bimetallic
construction to eliminate the potential for galvanic corrosion. Application in industrial environments is not recommended due to potential attack from sulfur, sulfur oxide,
nitrogen oxides, carbon and several other industrial airborne contaminants. In moderate seacoast environments,
copper-fin coils have extended life compared to standard
or pre-coated aluminum-fin coils.
E-coated aluminum-fin coils have an extremely flexible
and durable epoxy coating uniformly applied to all coil
surfaces. Unlike brittle phenolic dip and bake coatings,
E-coat provides superior protection with unmatched flexibility, edge coverage, metal adhesion, thermal performance and most importantly, corrosion resistance.
E-coated coils provide this protection since all coil surfaces
are completely encapsulated from environmental contamination. Specify E-coated aluminum-fin coils for industrial
environments with high levels of air pollution. This option
also provides better protection compared to standard or
pre-coated aluminum-fin coils in industrial environments.
E-coated copper-fin coils have the same flexible and
durable epoxy coating as E-coated aluminum-fin coils.
However, this option combines the natural salt and environmental resistance of all-copper construction with the
highest level of corrosion protection. Specify E-coated
copper-fin coils in the harshest combination of coastal and
industrial environments.
Electrical/utility interests
Energy management — Use of energy management
practices can significantly reduce operating costs, especially during off-peak modes of operation. Demand limiting
and temperature reset are two techniques for accomplishing efficient energy management. See Demand Limiting
(also called load shedding) section below for further details.
48
Page 49
Demand limiting (load shedding)
When a utility’s demand for electricity exceeds a certain
level, loads are shed to keep electricity demand below a
prescribed maximum level. Typically, this happens on hot
days when air conditioning is most needed. The Energy
Management Module (EMM) can be added to accomplish
this reduction. Demand may be limited on the unit by resetting water temperature, or by unloading the chiller to a
given predetermined percentage of the load. Demand limit
may also be driven by an external 4 to 20 mA signal.
These features require a signal from an intelligent
central control. Do not cycle demand limiter for less than

10 minutes on and 5 minutes off. Duty cycling cycles electrical loads at regular intervals regardless of need. This
reduces the electrical operating costs of building by “fooling” demand indicating devices. Duty cycling of compressors or fans is not recommended since motor winding and
bearing life will suffer from constant cycling.

Remote on-off control may be applied by hard-wired connection (see Controls and Troubleshooting literature) or by
connection to a Carrier Comfort Network (CCN).
