DESCRIPTION
Page 10
The Conair Series 1 Portable Chillers provide self-contained sources of chilled water and are available in either water- or air-cooled models, ranging in sizes from 3.5 Hp to 40 Hp (approximate capacities of 3.5 tons of refrigeration to 40 tons of refrigeration). Pump selections are available to match most process flow and pressure requirements.
The normal temperature range of discharge chilled water is 20 °F to 70 °F. For applications requiring 40 °F and lower mix glycol with the water to the correct percentage.
The Air-cooled Portable Chiller A1 Models and Water-cooled Portable Chiller W1 Models are designed to provide chilled water for industrial applications requiring 24-hour-a-day per­formance. Units are totally self-contained for easy, economical installation. All parts wetted by the process are non-ferrous.
To operate, simply connect the power source, process piping and fill with water or ethylene or propylene glycol (but not automotive antifreeze).
These chillers are ideal for machine-side cooling to maintain process temperatures in an injection molding machine or extruder and wherever you need a small, moveable cooling unit. Nominal capacities range from 1.44 to 14.68 tons for the water-cooled models and from 1.18 to 10.95 tons for the air­cooled models. Capacities are based on standard pump sizes and delivering 50 °F water.
Operation of these units differ only in the medium used to remove heat from the refrigerant in the condensers. Water­cooled models use 85 °F (29 °C) or lower cooling water from a tower, well, or city service; air-cooled models use 95 °F (35 °C) maximum ambient air.
Choose water-cooled portable chillers where tower water or another inexpensive water source is available. Choose air­cooled models for maximum portability of the unit. Water­cooled models are equipped with brazed plate or tube-in-tube condensers. Air-cooled models use aluminum-fin, copper-tube condensers.
All standard voltages are available.

DESCRIPTION
Page 11
The Conair A1 and W1 Portable Chillers can be used any­where a reliable source of process cooling water - with stable temperature control - is required.
These portable chillers are available for cooling injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, extrusion, air com­pressors, metal plating, anodizing, degreasing, heatset/web offset printing presses, and dryer after-coolers.
Roll the air-cooled condenser models next to the heat source connect it and plug it in. They can operate almost anywhere.
The water-cooled condenser models require a source of con­denser water. Normally used in conjunction with a recirculat­ing evaporative cooling tower system, the units have slightly better operating energy efficiencies.

IMITATIONS
Conair Series 1 Portable Chillers are designed to provide chilled water for industrial applications requiring 24-hour-a­day performance. Units are self-contained and easy to install and maintain. Choose the Conair Series 1 Portable Chillers based on the cooling load and the capacity of the unit. Pick your Conair Series 1 Portable Chillers based on:
Cooling load
Choose a portable chiller that has 20% more capacity than the process load.
Location
Choose a water-cooled model if the unit will be located in an air-conditioned area. Choose the water-cooled model if a source of condenser water is readily available (i.e. cool­ing tower water). Do not locate the portable chiller out­side unless the unit is specially modified.
Temperature
The portable chiller needs to provide a cooling tempera­ture less than 70 °F (21°C).
Use this information as a general guide. Consult your Conair representative for assistance when choosing a Conair Portable Chiller.

WARNING: Initial startup
Do not press any buttons after initially applying power to the Chiller. Let the Chiller set, undis­turbed, for a minimum of 8 hours before starting the Chiller.This is necessar y to allow the crankcase heater to warm properly, and to pre­vent the refrigerant from pooling in the com­pressor.
After the initial 8-hour minimum warmup, continue with start­up:
Press the Start Chiller button.
Check the Pump and Compressor lights on the control panel; they should turn on and off as the pump and com­pressor cycle on and off. The To Process temperature dis­plays on the control. The To Process temperature is real­time temperature. It should change as the chiller runs and cools the fluid.
Check the rotation of the pump.
If pump is not turning, disconnect main power to chiller, swap any two incoming power wires; reapply main power. Check for leaks inside the chiller cabinet; fix any leaks and dry the inside of the chiller before proceeding.
Check the compressor.
If the compressor is running backwards, disconnect the Chiller from the main power supply, switch any two incoming main power leads, and reapply main power sup­ply. Wait three minutes. The compressor should now be running in the proper direction.
Check the sight glass on the back of the chiller.
If the fluid level is low, follow the steps to add fluid. See
Filling the Chiller in the Installation section.
If the chiller is not working properly at any time, press the red Stop button to turn off the chiller.
