INTRODUCTION

The REMCOR “CH” Series Water Chillers (Models CH750–A, CH751–A, and CH951–A) are specifically designed to cool clean liquid before it is circulated to the cooling application. The Unit includes a complete refrigeration system and associated controls housed in a sturdy sheet metal enclosure with perforated panels for air circulation. Options include a reservoir and a choice of pumps and temperature controls to provide a self–con- tained liquid cooling/circulation system tailored to a particular closed loop or tank cooling application.

On closed loop systems, the Unit is provided with a pump and reservoir for recirculation of water from the chiller to the process. On tank cooling systems, the Unit is provided without the reservoir and the pump is optional for recirculation of water from the chiller to the tank. Control temperature is sensed on the outlet of the chiller for closed loop systems and it is sensed on the inlet of the chiller for tank cooling systems.

The temperature control options consist of a general purpose digital thermostat and an electronic differential thermostat to satisfy the temperature control requirements. Both options include a digital thermometer for monitoring system temperature.

The pump options consist of a small magnetic drive pump as standard with a variety of magnetic drive and positive displacement pumps available for particular flow and pressure requirements. An optional bypass valve is available for the pump circulation system. (This valve is standard on Units utilizing the positive displacement pumps). This can be used to adjust pump flow and pressure to match process requirements. This valve also allows internal recirculation within the chiller in the event the chiller outlet is obstructed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

Locate the chiller indoors in a well ventilated area with ambient temperatures in the range of 65° F to 100° F. Allow a minimum of six inches of clearance around the chiller for proper air circulation. Avoid hot air discharge from other equipment or enclosed areas where heat could build up and cause a rise in ambient temperature.

PLUMBING

Follow standard plumbing practices and local codes in making water connections. Piping that is exposed to high ambient temperatures may need to be insulated to prevent condensation and/or significant liquid heat gain.

ELECTRICAL

All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code and any applicable local codes. The chiller must be:

1)Permanently wired by means of conduit from the junction box on the rear of the chiller cabinet to a properly fused disconnect of proper amperage or:

2)Wired to a properly rated power cord and plugged into an outlet with appropriate disconnect and amperage rating.

START–UP/OPERATION

Before the Unit can be operated, it is important that the circulating system be filled with water (See Fluid Recommendations page). On systems with a reservoir, ensure that the drain plug is in place and the plug is secure. Fill the reservoir through the fill port with clean water. The water level sight glass on the front panel will indicate “Full” when enough water has been added. Once full, make the final connection to the inlet and outlet of the chiller. On system without a reservoir, the pump should be primed before operation. Attach a water source to the inlet of the chiller and fill the Unit with clean water. The system is filled when the water can be seen flowing at the chiller outlet. Once full, make the final connection to the inlet of the chiller.

Turn the power switch to the “On” position. The switch will light indicating power to the Unit and the pump will operate, the thermostat can be adjusted to the proper setpoint.

Set the standard digital thermostat to the desired setpoint as follows:

1)Push the “Set” button located to the right of the digital display. The current setpoint will show on the display.

2)While the current setpoint is displayed, push the “Up” or “Down” buttons until the desired setpoint shows on the display.

3)Release all buttons. The display will show the system water temperature after a few seconds. The setpoint can be viewed at any time by merely pushing the “Set” button.

If the Unit is provided with the electronic differential thermostat, the air probe will need to be located where ambient temperature is to be monitored. The setpoint will then be the temperature of the air probe. If this thermostat is provided with a digital display, the setpoint can be checked by pushing the “Setpoint” button located on the display. Releasing this button will display the system water temperature.

When the flow rate to the process is critical, a flow meter and valve should be installed in the line in order to obtain the proper flow rate.
