Design Features
Excellent Performance
Daikin offers a wide range of centrifugal vessel and
component combinations to provide the right solution for your
specific application. The single compressor WSC offers
excellent full load performance, however, in most
applications, chillers spend about 99% of their operating hours
at part-load condidtions. Our dual compressor WDC chillers
offer many attractive benefits, including outstanding part-load
efficiency, and system redundancy similar to two separate
chillers, with a lower total installed cost. WCC models also
offer the dual compressor advantage but with counterflow
vessels, and a separate refrigerant circuit for each compressor.
WCC chillers excel at full load efficiency. Contact your
Daikin representative for detailed information to decide which
model is right for your job requirements.

Positive Pressure Design
Positive pressure systems offer numerous advantages over
ve pressure design. In a negative pressure system, leaks
negati
allow air, moisture, and other contaminants to seep into
system, which will gradually decrease performance, as well as
cause corrosion which must be removed. The Daikin positive
pressure design eliminates this worry, providing sustainable
performance and trouble-free ownership for the life of the unit
under normal operation.
Daikin Model
Gear Driven Advantage
Daikin’s precision-engineered gear driven design allows for
lighter components, less vibration, and ability to
select gear
ratios that will provide the optimum impeller speed for your
application. Older direct-drive designs must use large, heavy
impellers to reach similar tip speeds, which cause more
vibration and greater stress on shaft and motor during
unexpected electrical interruptions.
The compact design and lighter weight components allow for
efficient hydrodynamic bearings to be used. This means that
operation, the shaft is supported on a film of lubricant,
during
with no shaft-to-bearing contact, providing theoretical infinte
life bearings under normal circumstances. The design
simplicity of the Daikin centrifugal compressors provides
increased durability and reliable performance.
Smart Refrigerant
HFC-134a refrigerant contains no chlorine and has zero Ozone
Depletion Potential (ODP), making it an environmentally
superior alternative to other refrigerants such as HCFC-123. It
also has an A1 ASHRAE Safety Classificiation - the lowest
toxicity and flammability rating. R-134a provides the
assurance of a safe, smart, and sustainable solution.
R-123 requires about 6 times the gas flow rate (cfm/ton) of R134a, which means that the suction and discharge
piping must
also be six times larger. Using R-134a allows Daikin to
provide you with a smaller footprint chiller.

Features and Benefits
Unmatched Unloading
Daikin pioneered the use of moveable discharge geometry to
lower the surge point of centrifugal
which the compressor enters a stall or surge condition
generally limits compressor unloading. Chillers with a fixed
discharge will experience stall or surge at low loads due to
refrigerant re-entering the impeller. When in a stall condition,
the refrigerant gas is unable to enter the volute due to its low
velocity and remains stalled in the impeller. In a surge
condition the gas rapidly reverses direction in the impeller
causing excessive vibration and heat. Daikin compressors
reduce the discharge area as load decreases to maintain gas
velocity and greatly reduce the tendency to stall or surge.
Figure 1: Fixed vs. Movable Discharge Geometry
In Figure 1, above, the drawing on the left shows a crosssection view of the operation at full load of a unit with a fixed
compressor discharge. At full load, a large quantity of gas is
discharged with a fairly uniform discharge velocity as
indicated by the arrows.
The center drawing shows a fixed compressor discharge at
reduced capacity. Note that the velocity is not uniform and the
refrigerant tends to reenter the impeller. This is caused by low
velocity in the discharge area and the high pressure in the
condenser, resulting in unstable surge operation and with noise
and vibration generated.
The following cutaway picture shows the unique Daikin
movable discharge geometry. As the capacity reduces, the
movable unloader piston travels inward, reducing the
discharge cross section area and maintaining the refrigerant
velocity. This mechanism

Trouble-Free Startup
All Daikin chillers are factory tested on AHRI qualified
computer-controlled test stands. Each chiller is run-tested
under load conditions for a minimum of one hour with
evaporator and condenser water flow at job conditions
(excluding glycol applications). Operating controls are
checked and adjusted, and the refrigerant charge is adjusted for
optimum operation and recorded on the unit nameplate. Units
operating with 50-Hz power are tested with a 50-Hz power
supply. The testing helps ensure correct operation prior to
shipment, and allows factory calibration of chiller operating
controls.
All domestic Daikin centrifugal chillers are commissioned by
Daikin Factory Service personnel, or by authorized and
experienced
ensure that proper starting and checkout procedures are
employed and helps in a speedy commissioning process,
giving you confidence that your chiller is operating as
expected.
Lubrication System
A separately driven electric oil pump assembly supplies
lubrication at controlled temperature and pressure to all
bearing surfaces and is the source of hydraulic pressure for the
capacity control system.
Daikin startup technicians. This procedure helps
The control system will not allow the compressor to start until
oil pressure, at the proper temperature, is established. It also
allows the oil pump to operate after compressor shutdown to
provide lubrication during coast-down. Lubricant from the
pump is supplied to the compressor through a water-cooled,
brazed-plate heat exchanger and single or dual five-micron oil
filters internal to the compressor. All bearing surfaces are
Cat 605-55
Dual Compressor Centrifugal Chillers
pressure lubricated. Drive gears operate in a controlled
lubricant mist atmosphere that efficiently cools and lubricates
them.
Lubricant is made available under pressure from the
compressor oil filter to the unit capacity control system and is
used to position the inlet guide vanes in response to changes in
leaving chiller water temperature.
If a power failure occurs, an emergency oil reservoir provides
adequate lubrication flow under pressure, and prevents damage
that could occur during the coast-down period with the oil
pump stopped.
Since the Daikin chillers are positive pressure, there is no
need to change the lubricant or filter on a regular basis. As
with any equipment of
this type, an annual oil check is
recommended to evaluate the lubricant condition.

is gas rapidly reversing direction through the impeller). A
number of things can contribute to this condition including
inadequate maintenance of condenser tube cleanliness, a
cooling tower or control malfunction, or unusual ambient
temperatures among others.
For these abnormal conditions, Daikin compressor
designers have developed a protective control system that
senses the potential for a surge, looks at the entire chiller
system operation and takes corrective action if possible;
or
stops the compressor, to help prevent any damage from
occurring. This protection is provided as standard on all
Daikin centrifugal compressors.
Dual Compressor Centrifugal Chillers
Dual Compressor Experience
Daikin is the expert when it comes to dual centrifugal
compressor technology. We
have been successfully building
dual compressor centrifugal chillers since 1971. Daikin is the
only company that builds them with either a single refrigerant
circuit (Model WDC) or two refrigerant circuits (Model
WCC).
Benefits of Dual Compressor Chillers
Superior Efficiency
When coupled with a variable frequency drive, the extremely
efficient Dual Compressor Chillers are considerably more
efficient than single compressor chillers in the same size range,
with IPLVs (Integrated Part Load Value) as low as 0.3 kW per
ton. IPLV conditions are set by AHRI and subject to stringent
testing. Insist on AHRI-certified IPLV efficiency when making
efficiency comparisons.
Enhanced Surge Protection
When centrifugal compressors operate at part load, the volume
of refrigerant gas entering the impeller is reduced. At the
reduced flow, the impeller's capacity to develop the peak load
head is also reduced. At conditions of low refrigerant flow and
high compressor head (pressure difference), stall and/or surge
can occur (a stall is gas static in the impeller, a surge condition
The Redundancy Feature
Daikin dual centrifugal chillers have two of everything
connected to the evaporator and condenser - two
compressors, two lubrication systems, two control systems,
and two starters.
If any component on a compressor system fails, the component
can be removed or repaired without shutting down the other
compressor; providing an automatic back-up with at least 60
percent of the chiller design capacity available on WDC units
and 50 percent on WCC units.
Redundancy is also built into the distributed control system,
which consists of a unit controller, a compressor controller for
each compressor and an operator interface touch screen. The
chiller will operate normally without the touch screen being
functional. If a compressor controller is unavailable, the other
compressor will operate normally and handle as much of the
load as possible.
Lower Installed Costs
The redundancy feature pays off in lower installed costs. An
example of how to incorporate dual compressor chillers into a
system requiring redundancy:

tons (2100 kW) = 450 tons (1575 kW), for a total of 1200 tons (4200 kW) on any 3 of the
4 total compressors.
The elimination of the extra pumps, valves, piping, controls,
rigging, and floor space can result in as much as a 35%
reduction in the installation cost for a chiller plant, plus the
savings on the chillers themselves.
Dual Compressor Chiller Overview
There are subtle but important differences between the single
circuit WDC and two circuit WCC chillers.
Dual Circuit WCC Counterflow Chillers
These chillers have a separate refrigerant circuit for each
compressor. They are available in single pass only. They
provide the high full load efficiency advantage of two separate
chillers arranged for counterflow operation in a single,
compact unit.
Single Circuit WDC Chillers
These chillers have a single-refrigerant circuit for the
evaporator and condenser with two compressors running in
parallel and are available in one, two or three-pass
configurations. Their salient feature is that at singlecompressor, part load operation, the running compressor can
utilize the entire chiller's heat transfer surface, providing
outstanding part load performance.
Application of Dual Compressor Chillers
Designers and owners must decide which chiller type, or
combination of chiller types, is best for their installation.
Considerations include first cost, system efficiency, system
reliability, space requirements, and total owning costs.
Use WCC chillers when:
• Project requirement is lowest kW per ton performance at full
load with high electrical demand charges.
• Project has a large central plant where cycling chillers for
system capacity reduction is expected (three or more
chillers).
• High chilled water delta-T and low water pressure drops are
desired.
• Built-in redundancy is required. A single compressor will
provide 50% of the unit's full load capacity.
• High efficiency and large capacity is required with series
flow. Use two WCC units in series-counterflow in the 3,000
to 4,000 ton range.
Use WDC chillers when:
• Project requirement is overall lowest energy consumption
with best part load performance.
• Project has smaller chilled water plant where unit unloading
is expected versus cycling of chillers associated with large
multi-chiller plants.
• Floor space is limited (16-foot vessel length compared to 20foot for WCC).
• Two or three pass vessels are required, typical of retrofit
applications.
• Built-in redundancy is required. A single compressor will
provide 60% of the unit's full load capacity.
Use a combination of WDC and WCC chillers when:
• Peak overall system efficiency is important; for example,
use three WCC and one WDC chiller, all in parallel. The
WCC units are optimized for running at full load and the
WDC is optimized for part load operation. The WCC units
cycle on and off and the WDC unit (consider variable
frequency drives on this unit) trims the load, running
between five and one hundred percent capacity.
Why a Compressor Motor Failure Will Not Contaminate the
Common Refrigerant Circuit on WDC dual chillers
Some people are concerned with the result of a motor burnout
on a single-circuit dual compressor chiller. This is not a
problem on the Daikin WDC chillers because of compressor
construction and chiller layout.
The compressor motor is isolated from the main refrigerant
flow circuit so that any contaminants generated by a motor
failure will not pass into the main refrigerant circuit. Moisture,
acid and/or carbon particles will be automatically trapped
within the compressor's dedicated coolant feed and exit lines.
Internally, the compressor motor compartment is separated and
sealed from the main refrigerant compression chamber. A
double shaft seal on the motor side of the gear housing
prevents cross flow of refrigerant along the motor shaft. The
motor coolant feed line is equipped with both a solenoid valve
and a check valve. These mechanical components, plus the
higher pressure of the liquid refrigerant, prevent back feed into
the main refrigerant system. Refrigerant vapor exiting the
motor compartment must pass through a high pressure drop
filter-drier, sized to immediately plug up and seal off the motor
compartment. Both the coolant feed and return lines are
equipped with manual shutoff valves to permit component
service.
Cat 605-57
Dual Compressor Centrifugal Chillers
Over 30 years of field experience have proven the reliability of
these compressor motors. Despite the reliability inherent in the
motor design and the protective control, electrical distribution
system faults and lightning strikes can occur that are beyond
the control of the most conscientious designer. The coolant
protective system protects the unit charge from being
contaminated.
Special WDC Warranty: In the unlikely event of a motor
burnout, the chiller refrigerant charge will not be
Figure 4: Motor Cooling
contaminated. This is so well proven that it is guaranteed for
five years. In areas supported by Daikin Factory Service, if a
motor burnout occurs in one compressor and contaminates the
refrigerant circuit, any resultant damage to the other
compressor will be repaired and the refrigerant charge replaced
at no cost to the customer for parts and labor. The terms of the
original chiller warranty apply to the original burned out
compressor.
Efficiency
Chillers usually spend 99% of their operating hours under part
load conditions, and most of this time at less than 60% of
design capacity. One compressor of a dual WDC chiller
operates with the full heat transfer surface of the entire unit.
For example, one 500-ton (1,750 kW) compressor on a 1,000
ton (3,500 kW) dual chiller utilizes 1,000 tons (3500 kW) of
evaporator and condenser surface. This increases the
compressor's capacity and also results in very high efficiency.
Typical efficiencies for a WDC dual chiller, taken from a
selection computer run, look like this:
Full load efficiency: 0.550 kW per ton (6.5 COP)
60% load, one compressor: 0.364 kW per ton (9.6 COP)
IPLV: 0.415 kW per ton (8.5 COP)
The addition of VFDs to the WDC dual
produces an astonishing AHRI certified IPLV of 0.340 for the
above case. Specific selections can vary up or down from this
example. IPLV is defined in the Selection section of this
manual beginning on page 28 .
8Cat 605-5
compressor chiller
WCC chillers, with their counterflow design, excel at full load
efficiency. Each of the two compressors operates at a lower
head (pressure differential) than single compressor chillers in
parallel. With any pump or compressor, lower head means
lower power for a given flow. As shown on the right, the #2
(downstream compressor) makes 42 F water but has only 89 F
condenser water leaving instead of 95 F typical of a single
compressor unit. The #1 compressor has 95 F condenser water
leaving, but only has to make 47.6 F chilled water.
The Replacement Market Advantage
• Bolt-together construction on single and dual compressor
chillers along with factory disassembly available as an
option simply the tough entrance situations.
• Put 20% or more tons in the same footprint.
• Add dual compressor redundancy.
• Greatly reduce chiller energy consumption.
• Install a refrigerant with no phase-out date.
• Opens many options for multiple chiller plants using WSC,
WDC and WCC combinations.

Heat Recovery Models
For decades, Daikin has pioneered the use of heat recovery
chillers and the unique Daikin
Water Heater to reduce energy costs. These products have
become more important than ever with the current emphasis
on total building efficiency. ASHRAE Efficiency Standard
90.1 mandates the use of heat recovery equipment of this
type in a wide range of buildings.
Heat Recovery Chillers
Model HSC heat recovery chillers, with a single compressor,
have a single condenser with split bundles, i.e., two separate
water passages divided by separate water heads as shown in
the photograph to the right. The inboard water connections are
connected to the cooling tower, the other water side is
connected to the heating system.
The economic feasibility of hot water generated with these
units depends on heating and cooling load profiles and on the
relative cost of the available energy sources. A compressor's
kW per ton is heavily influenced by the pressure head it is
pumping against. During heat recovery operation, the entire
cooling load is operating against the high head required by the
Templifier Heat Pump
hot water temperature. For this reason, it is desirable to
maximize the percentage of the
total rejected heat used for the
heating load. Daikin's economic evaluation program, Energy
Analyzer , available on CD from your local Daikin sales
office, is the perfect tool to determine the economic feasibility
of using this proven technology.
Figure 5: Heat Recovery Chiller Piping Schematic
Templifier Heat Pump Water Heaters
Model TSC: 5,000 to 19,000 MBH
The Model TSC Templifier was developed in the 1970s, after
the 1973 oil embargo, as a device to replace fossil-fired water
heaters with electric heaters. The concept was simple; direct a
stream of warm waste heat to the evaporator of a refrigeration
unit, amplify the temperature of the heat through the
compression cycle, and then deliver the heat from the
condenser, at a higher useful temperature, to a heating load.
The flow diagram shown to the left illustrates just how the
Templifier unit is placed
decision to include a Templifier water heater is almost always
a financial one. Evaluation of load profiles, energy costs, and
owning costs is made simple by using the Daikin Energy
Analyzer evaluation program to determine if the return on
investment meets the owner's requirements.
When there is sufficient waste heat available, Templifier units
can be very attractive where fossil fuels are not available, or
where their use is restricted due to pollution problems or other
reasons. Compared to electric resistance heating, the energy
cost for a Templifier unit to heat domestic water, for example,
could be 7 to 8 times less!

MicroTech® II Controls
Daikin Centrifugal chillers are equipped with the proven
reliability of the MicroTech® II controls system with touchscreen interface. The control system is designed for easy and
intuitive operation, and configured for efficient and reliable
operation. Plus, Daikin's Open Choices™ feature allows
integration with your building automation system (BAS)
through an optional communication module
(see Options and Accessories section, page 52).
Designed with the System Operator in Mind
Reliable, economic use of any chiller depends on an easy
operator interface. That's why operation simplicity was one of
the primary considerations
MicroTech® II controller and Operator Interface Touch-Screen
(OITS). The 15-inch color touch-screen is mounted on a fully
adjustable arm. The chiller is graphically displayed, with key
operating parameters viewable on the screen. Alarm history
and operation setpoints are easily accessed through intuitive
touch-screen buttons. The chiller operating manual is also
viewable on the touch screen and can be downloaded via USB.
MicroTech® II Controls Enhance Operating Economy
Many features have been integrated into MicroTech II controls
to ensure optimum operating economy. In addition to replacing
normal relay logic circuits, we've enhanced the controller's
energy saving capabilities with the following features:
• Direct control of water pumps Optically isolated, digital
output relays provide automatic lead-lag of the evaporator
and condenser pumps, permitting pump operation only when
required.
• User-programmable compressor soft loading Prevents
excessive power draw during pull down from high chilled
water temperature conditions.
in the development of the
• Chilled-water reset Reset the leaving water temperature
based on the return water temperature. Raising the chilled
water setpoint during periods of light loads dramatically
reduces power consumption.
• Demand limit control Maximum motor current draw can be
set on the panel, or can be adjusted from a remote 4-20ma or
1-5 VDC BAS signal. This feature controls maximum
demand charges during high usage periods.
• Condenser water temperature control Capable of four
stages of tower fan control, plus an optional analog control
of either a three-way tower-bypass valve or variable speed
tower-fan motor. Stages are controlled from condenser-water
temperature. The three-way valve can be controlled to a
different water temperature or track the current tower stage.
This allows optimum chilled water plant performance based
on specific job requirements.
• Staging Options (Multiple Chiller Installations) The
MicroTech® II controller is capable of compressor
staging decisions and balancing compressor loads
between up to four WSC,WDC or WSC Daikin chillers
using defaults or operator-defined staging.
• Plotting Historic Trends Past operation of the chiller can be
plotted as trend lines and even downloaded to a spreadsheet
for evaluation and analysis.
Proactive Controls
MicroTech® II controls constantly monitor chiller status, and
automatically take
proactive measures to relieve abnormal
conditions or shut the unit down if a fault occurs. For example,
if a problem occurs in the cooling tower and discharge
pressure starts to rise, the controller will automatically hold the
load point and activate an alarm signal. A further rise in
pressure will initiate compressor unloading in an effort to
maintain the setpoint pressure. If the pressure continues to rise,
the unit will shut off at the cutout pressure setting to protect
the unit.

When water pump noise is objectionable, use rubber isolation
sections at both the inlet and outlet of the pump. Vibration
eliminator sections in the condenser inlet and outlet water lines
are not normally required. Where noise and vibration are
critical and the unit is mounted on spring isolators, flexible
piping and conduit connections are necessary. If not factory
installed, a flow switch or pressure differential switch must be
installed in the leaving chilled water line in accordance with
the flow switch manufacturer's instructions.
Note: Victaulic connections are AWWA C-606. Field supply
transitions if Victaulic brand AGS® (Advanced Groove
System) type grooves are used on the field piping.
Optimum Water Temperatures and Flow Rates
A key to improving energy efficiency for any chiller is
minimizing the lift, or pressure difference, between the
compressor suction and discharge pressures. Reducing the lift
reduces the compressor work, and hence its energy
consumption per unit of output. The chiller typically has the
largest motor of any component in a chilled water system.
Higher leaving chilled water temperatures
Warmer leaving chilled water temperatures will raise the
compressor's suction pressure and decrease the lift, improving
efficiency. Using 45 F (7.0 C) leaving water instead of 42 F
(5.5 C) will make a significant improvement.
Evaporator temperature drop
The industry standard has been a ten-degree temperature drop
in the evaporator. Increasing the drop to 12 or 14 degrees will
improve the evaporator heat transfer, raise the suction
pressure, and improve chiller efficiency. Chilled water pump
energy will also be reduced.
Condenser entering water temperature
As a general rule, a one-degree drop in condenser entering
water temperature will reduce chiller energy consumption by
two percent. Cooler water lowers the condensing pressure and
reduces compressor work. One or two degrees can make a
noticeable difference. The incremental cost of a larger tower
can be small and provide a good return on investment.
Minimum Condenser Water Temperature Operation
When ambient wet bulb temperatures are lower than design,
the condenser water temperature can be allowed to fall. Lower
temperatures will improve chiller performance.
Up to 600 Tons
Daikin centrifugal chillers up to 600 Tons are equipped with
electronic expansion valves (EXV) and will start and run

t Load
For example; at 44 F LWT, 10 degree F Delta-T, and 50% full
load operation, the entering condenser water temperature could
be as low as 50.5 F. This provides excellent operation with
water-side economizer systems.
Depending on local climatic conditions, using the lowest
possible entering condenser water temperature may be more
costly in total system power consumed than the expected
savings in chiller power would suggest, due to the excessive
fan power required.
Cooling tower fans must continue to operate at 100% capacity
at low wet bulb temperatures. As chillers are selected for lower
kW per ton, the cooling tower fan motor power becomes a
higher percentage
of the total peak load chiller power.
Daikin's Energy Analyzer program can optimize the chiller/
tower operation for specific buildings in specific locales.
Even with tower fan control, some form of water flow control,
such as tower bypass, is recommended.
Condenser water temperature rise
The industry standard of 3 gpm/ton or about a 9.5-degree
delta-T works well for most applications. Reducing condenser
water flow to lower pumping energy will increase the water
temperature rise, resulting in an increase in the compressor's
condensing pressure and energy consumption. This is usually
not a productive strategy.
System analysis
Although Daikin is a proponent of analyzing the entire
system, it is generally effective to place the
chiller in the most
efficient mode because it is, by far, a larger energy consumer
than pumps. The Daikin Energy Analyzer program is an
excellent tool to investigate the entire system efficiency,
quickly and accurately. It is especially good at comparing
different system types and operating parameters. Contact your
local Daikin sales office for assistance on your particular
application.
For Best Chiller Efficiency
The designer must determine the proper chiller efficiency for a
given application. The most efficient chiller is not always the
best. A life cycle analysis (as performed by Daikin's Energy
Analyzer program, for example) is the only way to be sure of
the best selection. Utility costs, load factors, maintenance
costs, cost of capital, tax bracket; in other words, all the factors
affecting owning cost, must be considered.
Generally, the attempts to save the last few full load kW are
very costly. For example, the cost to go from 0.58 to 0.57 kW/
16Cat 605-5

ton could be very costly because of the large number of copper
tubes that would have to be added to the heat exchangers.

Mixing Single and Dual Compressor Chillers
WDC dual compressor chillers excel at part load operation,
while single compressor chillers usually have better full load
efficiency. A good chiller plant strategy is to install one dual
and one or more single compressor units. Run the dual until it
is fully loaded, then switch to the single compressor unit and
run it only at full load, using the dual to trim the load.
Series Counterflow and Series Parallel Chillers
The design of piping systems can greatly impact chiller
performance. A popular system is to place the evaporators in
series with the chilled water flowing from one evaporator to
the next as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14. Two different
condenser water piping arrangements can be used. Parallel
flow (Figure 13) divides the total condenser flow between the
two condensers. The counterflow system (Figure 14) puts all
of the condenser water through the condenser of the lag chiller
(chiller producing the coldest evaporator leaving water) and
then through the lead chiller (chiller seeing the warmest
evaporator water temperatures).
tons) combines counterflow design into one unit. Seepage 6
for details.
Figure 13: Series Parallel Flow
Figure 14: Series Counterflow Flow
Typically, since the lead machine will see the warmest
evaporator water, it will have the greater capacity and larger
portion of the total system evaporator temperature drop. Again
referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14, the lead machine has an
8.4 degree drop (56.0
degree drop (47.6
°F-47.6°F) and the lag machine has a 5.6
°F - 42.0°F).
Condenser water flow is important to overall system
efficiency. With parallel flow (Figure 13), the condensers have
identical flow conditions (95 to 85 degrees in this example)
with the compressor lift shown. With counterflow arrangement
the lift on the lead machine is significantly lower, reducing
compressor work and making the overall system efficiency
about 2% better. Even though the chiller performance is
different, it is good practice to use the same chiller models.
Both the WSC and WDC chillers are suitable for series
counterflow arrangement and include controls specifically
designed for series chillers. For more information, please refer
to Application guide AG -31-003: Chiller Plant Design.

Cooling water connections are located at the rear of the unit,
near the compressor and are shown on the specific unit
certified drawings. Models WDC 063 through 087 and all
WCC have the cooling water connections in the lower portion
of one tube sheet.
WDC 063, 079, 087, 100 and 126 dual compressor chillers are
equipped as above, but the water piping for the two oil coolers
is factory piped to a common inlet and outlet connection.
Field water piping to the inlet and outlet connections must be
installed according to good piping practices and must include
stop valves to isolate the cooler for servicing. A 1" minimum
cleanable filter (40 mesh maximum) and drain valve or plug
must also be field installed. The water supply for the oil cooler
must be from the chilled water circuit, or from an independent
clean source such as city water. When using chilled water, it is
important that the water pressure drop across the evaporator is
greater than the pressure drop across the oil cooler or
insufficient oil cooler flow will result. If the pressure drop
across the evaporator is less than the oil cooler, the oil cooler
must be piped across the chilled water pump, provided that its
pressure drop is sufficient. The water flow through the oil
cooler will be adjusted by the unit's regulating valve so that the
temperature of oil supplied to the compressor bearings
(leaving the oil cooler) is between 90
C).

water temperature possible, which may occur for a short time
during startup.
1WDC and WCC units have twice the cooling water flow rate
of the comparable WSC chiller.

Pressure drops include valves on the unit.
When supplied with city water, the oil piping must discharge
through a trap into an open drain to prevent draining the cooler
by siphoning. The city water can also be used for cooling
tower makeup by discharging it into the tower sump from a
point above the highest possible water level.
Note: Particular attention must be paid to chillers with variable
chilled water flow through the evaporator. The pressure
drop available at low flow rates can very well be
insufficient to supply the oil cooler with enough water. In
this case an auxiliary booster pump can be used or city
water employed.

Pumps
Model WSC, WDC and WCC chiller compressor motors
operate at 3600 rpm on 60 Hz power (3000 rpm on 50 Hz).
When VFDs are employed, the hertz/speed can be reduced by
70%. To avoid the possibility of objectionable harmonics in
the system piping, 4-pole, 1800/1500 rpm system pumps
should be used. The condenser water pump(s) must be cycled
off when the last chiller of the system cycles off. This will
keep cold condenser water from migrating refrigerant to the
condenser. Cold liquid refrigerant in the condenser can make
start-up difficult. In addition, turning off the condenser water
pump(s) when the chillers are not operating will conserve
energy.
Include thermometers and pressure gauges at the chiller inlet
and outlet connections and air vents at the high points of
piping. The water heads can be interchanged (end for end),
allowing water connections to be made at either end of the
unit. Use new head gaskets when interchanging water heads.
When water pump noise is objectionable, use rubber isolation
sections at both the inlet and outlet of the pump. Vibration
eliminator sections in the condenser inlet and outlet water lines
are not normally required. Where noise and vibration are
critical and the unit is mounted on spring isolators, flexible
piping and conduit connections are necessary. If not factory
installed, a flow switch or pressure differential switch must be
installed in the leaving chilled water line in accordance with
the flow switch manufacturer's instructions.
Victaulic connections are AWWA C-606 on 14-inch and larger
sizes. Field supply transitions if Victaulic brand AGS®
(Advanced Groove System) type grooves are used on the field
piping.
Filtering and Treatment
Owners and operators must be aware that if the unit is

cooling tower is required. Make sure tower blow-down or
bleed-off is operating. Atmospheric air contains many
contaminants, which increases the need for water treatment.
The use of untreated water will result in corrosion, erosion,
slime buildup, scaling, or algae formation. A water treatment
service should be used. Daikin is not responsible for damage
or faulty operation from untreated or improperly treated
water.
Machine Room Ventilation
In the market today, centrifugal c
either hermetic or open type motors. Hermetic motors are
cooled with refrigerant and dissipate their heat through the
cooling tower. On the other hand, open motors circulate
equipment room air across themselves for cooling and reject
the heat to the equipment room. Daikin chillers have hermetic
motors and DO NOT require additional ventilation.
For chillers with open-drive type, air-cooled motors, good
engineering practice dictates that the motor heat be removed to
h a cooling tower, cleaning and flushing the
hillers are available with
prevent high equipment room temperatures. In many
applications this requires a large volume of ventilation air, or
mechanical cooling to properly remove this motor heat.
EXAMPLE: 1000 tons x 0.6 kW/Ton x 0.04 motor heat loss x
0.284 Tons/kW = 7 tons (24 kW) cooling
The energy and installation costs of ventilation or mechanical
cooling equipment must be considered when evaluating
various chillers. For a fair comparison, the kW used for the
ventilation fans, or if mechanical cooling is required, the
additional cooling and fan energy must be added to the open
motor compressor energy when comparing hermetic drives.
Additionally, significant costs occur for the purchase,
installation, and maintenance of the ventilation or air handling
units.
Equipment room ventilation and safety requirements for
various refrigerants is a complex subject and is updated from
time to time. The latest edition of ASHRAE 15 should be
consulted.
Thermal Storage
Daikin chillers are designed for use in thermal storage
systems. The chillers
must be considered. The first is normal air-conditioning
The second condition occurs during the ice making process
when leaving fluid temperatures are in the 22
(-5.6
°C to -3.3°C) range.
The MicroTech II control system will accommodate both
operating points. The ice mode can be started or stopped by an
input signal to the microprocessor from a BAS or through a
chilled water reset signal. When a signal is received to change
from the ice mode to the normal operating mode, the chiller
will shut down until the system fluid temperature rises to the
higher setpoint. The chiller will then restart and continue
operation at the higher leaving fluid temperature. When
changing from normal cooling to the ice mode, the chiller will
load to maximum capacity until the lower setpoint is reached.
Computer selections must be made to check that the chiller
will operate at both conditions. If the "ice mode" is at night,
the pressure differentials between the evaporator and
condenser are usually similar to normal cooling applications.
The leaving fluid temperature is lower, but the condensing
temperature is also lower because the cooling tower water is
colder. If the ice mode can also operate during the day, when
cooling tower water temperatures are high, a proper selection
becomes more difficult because the two refrigerant pressure
differentials are significantly different.
A three-way condenser water control valve is always required.

Application Considerations
Variable Speed Pumping
Variable speed pumping involves changing system water
flow relative to cooling load change
chillers are designed for this duty with two limitations.
First, the rate of change in the water flow needs to be slow, not
greater than 10% of the change per minute. The chiller needs
time to sense a load change and respond.
Second, the water velocity in the vessels must be 3 to 10 fps
(0.91 and
occurs which reduces heat transfer. Above 10 fps (3.0 m/sec),
excessively high pressure drops and tube erosion occur.
These flow limits can be determined from the Daikin
selection program.
We recommend variable flow only in the evaporator because
there is virtually no change in chiller efficiency compared to
constant flow. In other words, there is no chiller energy
penalty. Although variable speed pumping can be done in the
condenser loop, it is usually unwise. The intent of variable
flow is to reduce pump horsepower. However, reducing
condenser water flow increases the chiller's condensing
pressure, increasing the lift that the compressor must overcome
which, in turn, increases the compressor's energy use.
Consequently, pump energy savings can be lost because the
chiller operating power is significantly increased.
Low condenser flow can cause premature tube fouling and
subsequent increased compressor power consumption.
Increased cleaning and/or chemical use can also result.
Vibration Mounting
Every Daikin chiller is run tested and compressor vibration is
measured and limited to a maximum rate
second, which is considerably more stringent than other
available compressors. Consequently, floor-mounted spring
isolators are not usually required. Rubber mounting pads are
shipped with each unit. It is wise to continue to use piping
flexible connectors to reduce sound transmitted into the pipe
and to allow for expansion and contraction.
AHRI Standard 575 Sound Ratings
Sound data in accordance with AHRI Standard 575 for
individual units are available from your local Daikin
representative. Due to the large number of
combinations and variety of applications, sound data is not
included in this catalog.
For extremely sensitive projects, an optional discharge line
sound package is offered consisting of sound insulation
installed on the unit's discharge line. An additional 2 to 4 dbA
reduction normally occurs.
System Water Volume
All chilled water systems need adequate time to recognize a
load change, respond to that load change and stabilize, without
undesirable short cycling of the compressors or loss of control.
In air conditioning systems, the potential for short cycling
usually exists when the building load falls below the minimum
chiller plant capacity or on close-coupled systems with very
small water volumes.
Some of the things the designer should consider when looking
at water volume are the minimum cooling load, the minimum
chiller plant capacity during the low load period and the
desired cycle time for the compressors.
Assuming that there are no sudden load changes and that the
chiller plant has reasonable turndown, a rule of thumb of
"gallons of water volume equal to two to three times the
chilled water gpm flow rate" is often used.
A properly designed storage tank should be added if the
system components do not provide sufficient water volume.
Relief Valves
Relief valve connection sizes are 1-inch
quantity shown in Table 10 for the evaporator and condenser.
In addition, there is a relief valve (3/8 inch flare) on the top of
the oil sump of all units.
All relief valves (including the oil sump) must be piped to the
outside of the building in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE 15-
2001. The new 2001 standard has revised the calculation
method compared to previous issues.
Twin relief valves, mounted on a transfer valve, are used on
the condenser so that one relief valve can be shut off and
removed for testing or replacement, leaving the other in
operation. Only one of the two valves is in operation at any
time. Where 4 valves are shown, on some large vessels, they
consist of two relief valves mounted on each of two transfer
valves. Only two relief valves of the four are active at any
time.

piped together to common vent pipe) = 200 psi, 75.5 lb of
air/min
• Note: some large condensers have 4 relief valves

Wire sizes must comply with local and state electrical codes.
Where total amperes require larger conductors than a single
conduit would permit, limited by dimensions of motor terminal
box, two or more conduits can be used. Where multiple
conduits are used, all three phases must be balanced in each
conduit. Failure to balance each conduit will result in
excessive heating of the conductors and unbalanced voltage.
An interposing relay can be required on remote mounted
starter applications when the length of the conductors run
between the chiller and starter is excessive.
Note: On WDC and WCC dual compressor units, dual power
leads are standard, requiring separate power leads properly
sized and protected to each compressor starter or VFD.
Separate disconnects must be used.
Use only copper supply wires with ampacity based on 75°C
conductor rating. (Exception: for equipment rated over 2000
volts, 90°C or 105°C rated conductors shall be used).
Power Factor Correction Capacitors
Do not use power factor correction capacitors with centrifugal
chillers with a compressor VFD. Doing so can cause harmful
electrical resonance in the system. Correction capacitors are
not necessary since VFDs inherently maintain high power
factors.
Control Power
The 115-volt control power can be supplied from the starter or
a transformer (meeting the
requirements of Daikin Starter
Electrical Data
Specification 359999 Rev 29) separate from the starter. Either
source must be properly fused with 25-amp dual element fuses
or with a circuit breaker selected for motor duty. If the control
transformer or other power source for the control panel is
remote from the unit, conductors must be sized for a maximum
voltage drop of 3%. Required circuit ampacity is 25 amps at
115 volts. Conductor size for long runs between the control
panel and power source, based upon National Electrical Code
limitations for 3% voltage drop, can be determined from the
table below.

NOTES for Following Wiring Diagram
1 Compressor motor starters are either factory mounted
and wired, or shipped separate for field mounting and
wiring. If provided
by others, starters must comply with
Daikin specification 359999 Rev 29. All line and load
side power conductors must be copper.
2 If starters are freestanding, then field wiring between the
starter and the control panel is required. Minimum wire
size for 115
Vac is 12 GA for a maximum length of 50
feet. If greater than 50 feet, refer to Daikin sales office
for recommended wire size minimum. Wire size for 24
Vac is 18 GA. All wiring to be installed as NEC Class 1
wiring system. All 24 Vac wiring must be run in
separate conduit from 115 Vac wiring. Main power
wiring between starter and motor terminal is factoryinstalled when units are supplied with unit-mounted
starters. Wiring of free-standing starter must be wired in
accordance with NEC and connection to compressor
motor terminals must be made with copper wire and
copper lugs only. Control wiring on free-standing starters
is terminated on a terminal strip in the motor terminal
box (not the unit control panel). Wiring from the unit
control panel to the motor terminal is done in the factory.
3 For optional sensor wiring, see unit control diagram. It is
recommended that dc wires be run separately from 115
Vac wiring.
4 Customer furnished 24 or 120 Vac power for alarm relay
coil can be connected between UTB1 terminals 84 power
and 51 neutral of the control panel. For normally open
contacts, wire between 82 & 81. For normally closed
contacts, wire between 83 & 81. The alarm is operator
programmable. The maximum rating of the alarm relay
coil is 25 VA.
5 Remote on/off control of unit can be accomplished by
installing a set of dry contacts between terminals 70 and
54.
6 Evaporator and condenser flow switches are required and
must be wired as shown. If field supplied pressure
differential switches are used then these must be installed
across the vessel and not the pump.
7 Customer supplied 115 Vac, 20 amp power for optional
evaporator and condenser water pump control power and
tower fans is supplied to unit control terminals (UTBI)
85 power / 86 neutral, PE equipment ground.
8 Optional customer supplied 115 Vac, 25 VA maximum
coil rated chilled water pump relay (EP 1 & 2) can be
wired as shown. This option will cycle the chilled water
pump in response to building load.
9 The condenser water pump must cycle with the unit. A
customer supplied 115 Vac 25 VA maximum coil rated
condenser water pump relay (CP1 & 2) is to be wired as
shown.
10 Optional customer supplied 115 Vac, 25 VA maximum
coil rated cooling tower fan relays (CL - C4) can be
wired as shown. This option will cycle the cooling tower
fans in order to maintain unit head pressure.
11 Auxiliary 24 Vac rated contacts in both the chilled water
and condenser water pump starters can be wired as
shown for additional protection.
12 For VFD, Wye-Delta, and solid state starters connected
to six (6) terminal motors, the conductors between the
starter and motor carry phase current and their ampacity
must be based on 58 percent of the motor rated load
amperes (RLA) times 1.25. Wiring of free-standing
starter must be in accordance with the NEC and
connection to the compressor motor terminals shall be
made with copper wire and copper lugs only. Main
power wiring between the starter and motor terminals is
factory-installed when chillers are supplied with unitmounted starters.
13 Optional Open Choices BAS interfaces. The locations
and interconnection requirements for the various
standard protocols are found in their respective
installation manuals, obtainable from the local Daikin
sales office and also shipped with each unit: Modbus
IM 743-0LonWorks IM 735-0BACnet IM 736-0.
14 The "Full Metering" or "Amps Only Metering" option
will require some field wiring when free-standing
starters are used. Wiring will depend on chiller and
starter type. Consult the local Daikin sales office
for information on specific selections.

The traditional method of controlling centrifugal compressor
capacity is by inlet guide vanes. Capacity can also be reduced
by slowing the compressor speed and reducing the impeller tip
speed, providing sufficient tip speed is retained to meet the
discharge pressure requirements. This method is more efficient
than guide vanes by themselves.
In actual practice a combination of the two techniques is used.
The microprocessor slows the compressor (to a fixed
minimum percent of full load speed) as much as possible,
considering the need for tip speed to make the required
compressor lift. Guide vanes take over to make up the
difference in required capacity reduction. This methodology
provides the optimum efficiency under any operating
condition.
Impact of Variable Frequency Drives
The chart below illustrates the relative IPLV efficiencies of
various Daikin options for a typical 500-ton selection. The
chiller cost increases as the efficiency improves.
Figure 20: IPLV Comparison by Model
Mounting Options, Medium Voltage, 2300 to 6000
Volts
All starter types in these voltages are for field setting and
wiring only.
Starter Types and Descriptions
Solid state starters are available for both low and medium
voltages and are similar in construction and features regardless
of voltage. For low voltage application, Wye-Delta Closed
Transition starters are available, in addition to solid state. For
medium voltage application, autotransformer, primary reactor
reduced voltage and across-the-line starters are offered in
addition to solid state.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
A VFD modulates the compressor speed in response to load
and evaporator and condenser pressures. Due to the
outstanding part load efficiency, and despite the small power
penalty attributed to the VFD, the chiller can achieve
outstanding overall efficiency. VFDs really prove their worth
when there is reduced load combined with low compressor lift
(lower condenser water temperatures) dominating the
operating hours.
The IPLV values (defined on page 29) are AHRI Certified
Ratings based on AHRI Standard 550/590, Standard for Water
Chilling Packages Using the Vapor Compression Cycle. Full
load is at 44 F chilled water temperature with 2.4 gpm/ton, 85
F entering condenser water temperatures with 3 gpm/ton. Part
load points of 75%, 50%, and 25% employ condenser water
temperature relief (reduction) per the standard.

VFDs and Distortion
Despite the many benefits,
applying
VFDs
due
to
care must be taken when
the
impact
th
ey may have on the
that
building’s electrical system. VFDs can cause distortion of
the AC line because they are nonlinear loads; that is, they
don't draw sinusoidal current from the line. They instead
only draw current during the peaks of the AC line. This
flattens the top of the voltage waveform. Most other
modern electronic equipment is also a nonlinear load, but
VFDs tend to have a greater impact because of their large
power demand.
Although harmonics are associated with non-linear loads, it
is extremely rare that VFD generated harmonics are an issue
in systems with a minimum of 5% internal impedance.
Power line harmonic distortion can be a concern for a
number of reasons:
Current harmonics can cause additional heating of
1
transformers, conductors, and switchgear. They can
.
also cause nuisance tripping of circuit breakers and
clearing of fuses.
2
Voltage harmonics may disrupt the operation of
.
devices which require a smooth, sinusoidal voltage
waveform.
3
High-frequency components of voltage distortion can
.
interfere with signals which are transmitted on the AC
power line.
The harmonics of concern are often the 5th, 7th, 11th, and
13th. Even harmonics, harmonics divisible by three, and
harmonics above the 13th harmonic are usually not a
problem for three-phase power systems.
The Daikin Drive Passive filter Package provides a
broader range of harmonic reduction performance than
VFDs which use active rectifiers. This is particularly true
at reduced loads, where VFDs provide the greatest
energy savings.
Current Harmonics
An increase in reactive impedance in front of the VFD helps
reduce the harmonic currents. Reactive impedance can be
added in the following ways:
1 Mount the drive far from the source transformer.
2 Add line reactors.
3 Use an isolation transformer.
Voltage Harmonics
Voltage distortion is caused by the flow of harmonic currents
through a source impedance. A reduction in source impedance
to the point of common coupling (PCC) will result in a
reduction in voltage harmonics. This may be done in the
following ways:
1 Keep the PCC as far from the drives (close to the power
source) as possible.
2 Increase the size (decrease the impedance) of the source
transformer.
3 Increase the capacity (decrease the impedance) of the
busway or cables from the source to the PCC.
4 Make sure that added reactance is downstream (closer to
the VFD than the source) from the PCC.
The IEEE 519 Standard
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
has developed a standard that recommends distortion limits
for both power utilities and their customers. The purpose of
these limits is to ensure that the voltage distortion of the
utility’s public power grid is maintained at an acceptable
level.
To accomplish this, IEEE 519 presents recommended
harmonic current distortion limits for utility customers.
These limits are based on the peak demand of the customer.
This is called the Total Demand Distortion (TDD). This
standard provides a sliding scale for the recommended TDD
limit for each utility customer. The greater the demand that a
customer places on the utility, the more stringent the
recommended TDD limits. IEEE 519-2014 clearly states
that the TDD is to be measured at the point where a utility
customer connects to the public utility. It does not apply to
any points inside the customer’s facility; it only applies to
the point where another utility customer could connect to the
public power grid.
If the utility’s customers comply with the TDD limits stated
in IEEE 519-2014, it is then the utility’s responsibility to
provide voltage to its customers that meets the harmonic
voltage recommendations of this standard.

and condenser flow rates, number of passes, and fouling
factors. Glycol applications can also be specified.
Glycol operation
The addition of glycol to the chilled water system for freeze
protection can be required for special applications. Glycol
solutions are required where the evaporating temperatures are
below 33°F (1°C).

IPLV/NPLV Defined
Part load performance can be presented in terms of
Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV), which is based on
AHRI standard rating conditions (listed above), or NonStandard Part Load Values (NPLV), which is based on
specified or job site conditions. IPLV and NPLV are based
on the following weighting equation from AHRI 550/590:
Using kW/ton, where:
A = kW/ton (or COP) at 100%
B = kW/ton (or COP) at 75%
C = kW/ton (or COP) at 50%
D = kW/ton (or COP) at 25%
Weighting
The percent of annual hours of operation at the four load
points are as follows:
100% Load at 1% of operating time
75% Load at 42% of operating time
50% Load at 45% of operating time
25% Load at 12% of operating time
Tolerances
The AHRI test tolerance, per AHRI Standard 550/590-98,
for capacity (tons), power input per ton (kW/ton), and heat
balance is:
Where:
FL = Full Load
DTFL = Chilled Water Delta-T at Full Load
This formula results in a 5% tolerance on tons and kW/
ton at the 100% load point and AHRI conditions.

Variable frequency drives (VFD)
The variable frequency drive option is a technology that has
been used for decades to control motor speed on
of motor-drive applications. When applied to centrifugal
compressor motors, significant gains in compressor part load
performance can be realized. The improvement in efficiency
and reduction of annual energy cost is maximized when there
are long periods of part load operation, combined with low
compressor lift (lower condenser water temperatures). When
atmospheric conditions permit, Daikin chillers equipped with
VFDs can operate with entering condenser as low as 50F (10
C), which results in extremely low kW/ton values.
a wide variety
Water-Side Economizers: Free cooling systems utilizing cold
cooling tower water to remove
system through a heat exchanger are becoming popular
because the ability of a chiller to move seamlessly from
mechanical cooling to the free cooling mode is an important
operational feature. When equipped with a VFD, Daikin
chillers can operate with condenser water down to 50F (10
C) at which point the economizer heat exchanger can be
activated and the free cooling can go into effect.
Starting Inrush: The use of a VFD on centrifugal chillers also
provides an excellent method of reducing motor starting
inrush, even better than solid-state starters. Starting current can
be closely controlled since both the frequency and voltage are
regulated. This can be an important benefit to a building's
electrical distribution system.
Sound: The sound level of centrifugal compressors is largely
dependent on the impeller tip speed. By reducing compressor
speed the sound level is also reduced.
