Next Generation Centrifugal -
Here Today
The industry’s next generation of centrifugal chillers
is here today with Daikin Magnitude chillers. The new
technology begins with centrifugal compressors
utilizing frictionless magnetic bearings for oil-free
operation, integral variable-frequency drives, and
high-speed direct drive technology. The high
efficiency compressor is matched with highly efficient
heat exchanges to make an impressive chiller. The
control system is based on Daikin’s MicroTech II
family to provide the optimum chiller control system.
We invite you to look at how the features and benefits
compare to older compressor technologies.
Benefit Summary
•Highest Efficiency- in its size range; as low as
0.328 kW/ton.
•
Increased Reliability This frictionless
magnetic bearing design needs no oil. With no
oil to coat the heat transfer surfaces, a gain in
heat exchanger efficiency can be realized.
•
Ultra Quiet A compressor sound level as low
as 76 dBA, with virtually no structure-borne
vibration, eliminates the need for expensive sound
attenuation accessories.
•Sustainable Performance All oil-lubricated
chillers will deposit oil on heat transfer surfaces
and eventually lose some efficiency. Since the
Magnitude chiller uses a positive pressure
refrigerant and has no oil, its industry-leading
efficiency is maintained for the life of the
chiller. Additionally, over time negative
pressure chillers may draw air and moisture into
the system, which can significantly increase
energy consumption.
•
Smart refrigerant choice The compressor is
optimized for HFC 134a, the positive pressure
refrigerant with no phase-out schedule and no
ozone depletion.
•
Smart controls. The compressor is self-
correcting and incorporates a system of
sophisticated self-diagnostics, monitoring and
controls.
event of a power failure, the compressor motor
acts as a generator, providing power for the
bearing control system during coast down. It
also has a system to gently de-levitate the shaft.

Oil-Free Design Benefits
Totally Oil-Free Operation = Greater Efficiency
With no oil to coat the heat tr ansfer surfaces, a gain in
heat exchanger efficiency can be realized.
No Oil Loss = Sustainable Performance
With no possibility of oil loss at light loads or due to worn
seals, the original energy saving efficiency can be
maintained for the life of the chiller.
No Oil Handling Equipment = Greater Reliability
With magnetic bearings operating in a magnetic electrical
field instead of oil-lubricated bearings, the oil handling
equipment is removed. No need for:
oil pumps
oil reservoi rs
oil coolers
oil filters
water r egulating valves
oil relief valves
oil system controls, starter, piping, heaters, etc...
that are needed to maintain oil quality. These devices can
be a fault source in tr aditional chillers, and removing
them significantly increases unit and system reliability.
No Oil System = Reduced Maintenance Costs
With oil removed from the system, oil samples, oil
changes, oil system maintenance, oil f ilter changes and
leaks are eliminated.
The Compressor Technology
The advanced, magnetic bearing, permanent
magnet synchronous motor technology used in
Magnitude chillers offers many owner benefits.

The well-proven energy performance advantages
of large central plant type variable-speed
centrifugal chiller compressors now benefit
mainstream, middle-market applications through
the use of high-speed, centrifugal compression
with integral variable-speed drive.
The compressor speed reduces as the condensing
temperature and/or cooling load reduces,
optimizing energy performance through the entire
operating range. Movable inlet guide vanes
redirect gas flow into the first stage impeller
during low loads, after the compressor has reached
minimum speed.
Ultra-Smart Controls
The chillers utilize digital control electronics to
proactively manage unit operation and providing
control of external chilled water and cooling tower
pumps.
Greater Reliability
Oil Handling Equipment Removed
With magnetic bearings operating in a magnetic
electrical field instead of oil lubricated ball or roller
friction type bearings as the basis of design, the oil
handling equipment is removed.

Exceptional Control
User-Friendly Touch Screen Panel
Every Magnitude chiller is provided with the userfriendly operator interface touch screen panel
mounted on the moveable positioning arm for easy
viewing and operation.
View chiller status, clear faults and change
parameters by merely touching the screen.
For added convenience, the unit operating and
maintenance manual is viewable on the screen and
can be downloaded and printed via the USB port
located in the control panel.
Low Operating Costs
Shrink Your Utility Costs with Ultra
Efficient Part-Load Performance
The Magnitude chiller Integrated
Part Load Value (IPLV) is as low
as 0.328 kW/Ton. Compare this
with most screw compressor
chillers - approximately 0.575
kW/Ton. There is a potential for
up to 40% energy savings at part
load compared to other chillers.
Virtually Eliminate Maintenance Costs
Oi
l samples, oil change-outs, oil
system maintenance, oil filter
changes are eliminated. The
bearing system, shafting and
impellers are shown here.
Flexible BAS Interface Modules
Every Magnitude chiller with MicroTech®II
controls and the Open Choices™ feature can be
provided with L
Modbus communications modules for an easy, low
cost connection to the building automation system of
your choice. Expensive and complex interface
gateways are not required.
Modules can also be easily retrofitted after
installation.
ONWORKS, BACnet, or
Variable Frequency Drives
Compressor unloading and subsequent chiller
capacity reduction is accomplished by a
compressor-mounted variable frequency drive. It
operates in conjunction with the inlet guide vanes.
The VFDs are a key factor in providing the
tremendous energy savings at part load operation.
Seismic Certification Option
WMC units are OSHPD Pre-Approved and so
labeled. (California only).
WMC units are certified to IBC 2009
nvironmental Responsibility
E
Long Term Refrigerant Solution
The Magnitude chiller uses R-134a refrigerant,
which does not have a phase-out date and does not
attack the ozone layer.
Ultra Quiet Sound Levels
The Magnitude chiller is the quietest chiller in the
industry for its size range. It is perfect for sound
sensitive applications. See ratings on page 17.
The best way to appreciate how quiet these units are
is to hear one operate. It is important to compare the
sound data in this catalog to other offerings.
Remember that a sound pressure difference of only
two to three dBA is a very noticeable difference. A
number of owners have asked for a large indicating
light on the unit so they can tell when it’s on!
6 Catalog 602-2
Extremely Low Vibration Levels
As a result of the magnetic bearings and low
inertia design, the compressor vibration levels are
extremely low, minimizing vibration that could be
transmitted to the structure.
The unit is shipped with rubber mounting pads and
spring vibration isolators are not required.
Unit Control Features
Magnitude Chillers Feature MicroTech
It is only fitting that the world’s most
revolutionary chiller design be matched with
the advanced Daikin MicroTech control
technology to give you the ultimate in chiller
performance and control. The control includes
many energy-saving features and interface
enhancements not found in any other unit controller
system on the market today. MicroTech controller's
innovative design will help keep your chiller
running efficiently . . . day in, day out, for years to
come.
Control Architecture
The Magnitude chiller takes advantage of Daikin
International’s 30 years of experience in designing
and manufacturing the highly regarded WDC line of
The operator interface panel is a 15-inch Super
VGA touch-screen, utilizing graphics to provide
clear and concise information on the chiller status,
(see page 9) alarms, trends, and setpoint
adjustment. Should the touch-screen become
inoperable, the unit controller will continue
uninterrupted operation of the chiller.
The controller minds those functions that are
common to the chiller as a whole (pumps, cooling
tower, valves, etc.) and is the interface point for
BAS connection and other control inputs to the
chiller, as well as outputs such as operation of the
electronic expansion valve.
The control panel contains a USB port for
downloading the unit’s fault history, major
parameter trends, and the unit operating manual that
is stored in the microprocessor.

Designed with the Operator in Mind
Reliable, economic use of any chiller depends
largely on an easy operator interface. That’s why
operation simplicity was one of the main
considerations in the development of the
MicroTech controller. The operator’s interface
with the chiller is through a 15-inch, Super VGA
color monitor with touch-screen capability. The
operator can clearly see the entire chiller
graphically displayed with the key operating
parameters viewable on the screen. Pressing a
single on-screen button will access the set screens
where setpoints can be reviewed and changed, if
necessary. Other screens, such as alarm history,
are easily accessed through touch screen buttons.
See the following page for some typical screens.
By constantly monitoring chiller status, the
MicroTech controller will 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 and stay online. If
the pressure continues to rise, the unit will shut off
at the cutout pressure setting.
Designer can select any BAS supplier using standard
open protocols and know the MicroTech II control will
interface with it.

The MicroTech controller's memory retains a
record of faults and the time/date stamp. The
controller's memory (no batteries required) can
retain and display the cause of the current fault and
the last twenty-five fault conditions. This method
for retaining the fault is extremely useful for
trouble shooting and maintaining an accurate
record of unit performance and history. The
controller features a two-level password security
system to provide protection against unauthorized
use.
The Home Screen shown in Figure 2 is usually
used as the primary viewing screen. It provides real
time data on unit status, water temperatures, chilled
water set point and motor amp draw. In other
words, it very clearly answers the vital question: is
the chiller doing what it is supposed to do?
*Note: WMC B-vintage chillers may not be interconnected with any
other model, including WMC A-vintage models. See IM 10292 for more information.

screen (a remote signal is also available). Pressing
this button immediately accesses the Active Fault

problem can be fixed and the fault can be quickly
and easily cleared at this point.
Changing Setpoints
The mystery of changing set points is a thing of
the past. Look at how easy the job becomes with
the Daikin MicroTech. For example, to change the
chilled water set point, press SET from any screen,
then press the WATER button and this screen
appears, press button #1, Leaving Water
Temperature, and you are ready to input a new
value. Selected setpoints can also be changed by
the BAS.

gure 3, MicroTech II Setpoints Screen
The Daikin MicroTech controller can record and
plot water temperatures, refrigerant pressures, and
motor load in order to trend performance. These
values can also be downloaded through a
convenient USB port in the control panel, and
exported into a spreadsheet for further evaluation
and record purposes.
Many standard features have been incorporated
into MicroTech control in order to maintain the
operating economy of Daikin centrifugal chillers.
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
r
equired.
•User-programmable compressor soft loading.
Prevents excessive power draw during pull
down from high unoccupied chilled water
temperature conditions.
•Chilled-water reset. Accomplished directly on
he unit by resetting the leaving water

• Demand limit control. Maximum motor current
draw can be set on the panel, or can be adjusted
from a remote 4-20 ma 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 condenserwater 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 upon specific job requirements.
• Staging Options (Multiple Chiller
Installations). Lead-lag and load-balance: the
MicroTech II controller is capable of
compressor lead-lag decisions and balancing
compressor loads between two compressors on
one unit or two separate Magnitude chillers,
using defaults or operator defined staging. For
example, in the 30 to 60 percent load segment,
one compressor running on each of two chillers
will provide better efficiency than two
compressors running on one chiller.
• Plotting Historic Trends. Past operation of the
chiller can be plotted as trend lines and even
downloaded to spread sheets for evaluation - a
valuable tool for optimizing efficiency.
Versatile Communications Capabilities
Give You Even More Control
For complete flexibility there are four ways to
interface with the MicroTech II controller:
1. Direct entry and readout locally at the operator
interface panel on the unit.
2. Direct entry as above plus digital and analog
input/output signals for certain functions such
as: enable run input, alarm signal output, 4-20
ma or 0-5 VDC inputs for chilled water reset
and load limiting, pump and tower fan control,
analog output for variable speed fan and tower
bypass.
3. Interface with BACnet, L

Unit Design Features
Variable Frequency Drive
Efficiency: The standard variable frequency drive
is a technology that has been used for decades to
control motor speed on a wide variety of motordrive applications. When applied to centrifugal
compressor motors, significant gains in 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).
The attributes of VFD and the compressor
technology produces one of the industry's most
efficient chiller based on the all-important IPLV
value. See “IPLV/NPLV Defined” on page 14 for
details on the AHRI IPLV efficiency rating.
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. The low inrush feature, combined with two
one-half size compressors having a staggered start,
is particularly attractive where chillers will be
asked to operate on emergency generators. Since
inrush has much to do with sizing the generators,
much smaller generators can be used.
Optional Harmonic Filter
An optional field-mounted harmonic filter is
available. See page 40 for details.

Heat Exchangers
Daikin Magnitude chillers are equipped with
high performance heat exchangers. The unique
design greatly increases heat transfer and
reduces unit footprint and refrigerant charge.
Vessels are designed, constructed and tested in
accordance with ASME Section VIII, ASHRAE
Standard 15 requirements and TEMA
recommendations.
T
he replaceable water tubes are internally rifled
and externally enhanced copper, and are
mechanically bonded to steel tube sheets. Standard
tubes are 0.025-inch wall thickness. Consult
factory for other options.
Vessels are available for 1, 2 or 3 pass water flow.
A 3/4" or 1-1/2 thick layer of vinyl/nitrate polymer
evaporator insulation is optional. All seams are
glued to form an effective vapor barrier. Detailed
information on the insulation can be found under
“Physical Data” on page 27.
Pumpdown
Pumpout systems provide a means to collect and
contain the refrigerant charge without loss when
access to internal chiller components is required
for service.
Daikin condensers and evaporators are sized to
hold the entire unit refrigerant charge when not
more than 90% full and at 90°F (32°C) ambient
temperature. They are equipped with valves in
the compressor discharge lines, suction lines, and
in the liquid line. These valves, coupled with the
vessel design, satisfy the stringent requirements
of the U.S. Department of Transportation for
refrigerant shipping containers, as well as ASME
vessel codes. When service is required, the
refrigerant charge can be pumped down into
either the condenser or evaporator by compressor
operation and use of a refrigerant transfer unit.
12 Catalog 602-2
Elimination of the cost and space requirements of
an external pumpout system on most jobs is a
major Daikin advantage.
Electronic Expansion Valve
Controlled refrigerant flow over the entire capacity
range saves energy and dollars. Cooling loads and
condenser water temperatures can change
constantly. On Magnitude chillers, a modern
electronic expansion valve meters refrigerant flow
in direct response to the unit controller input,
which looks at unit kW and lift (discharge minus
suction pressure) to set the valve position. The
controller then balances suction superheat and
liquid subcooling to reach the optimum efficienc y,
regardless of changing load or condensing
temperatures. In doing so, full utilization of
compressor, evaporator, and condenser efficiency
over the entire operating range is achieved.
Flow Switch
All chiller units must be provided with flow
switches for the evaporator and condenser.
Daikin furnishes factory-installed and wired,
thermal dispersion-type flow switches as standard
equipment on Magnitude chillers. This eliminates
the expense of field mounting and wiring
conventional paddle or differential pressure
switches.
e flow switches
Th
prevent the unit
from starting
without sufficient
water flow through
the vessels. They
also serve to shut
down the unit in
the event that
water flow is
interrupted to
guard against evaporator freeze-up or excessive
discharge pressure.
Optional Witness Test
A factory engineer oversees the testing in the
presence of the customer or their designate and
translates the test data onto an easy-to-read
spreadsheet. Tests are run to AHRI tolerances of
capacity and power. 50 Hertz units are tested using
an on-site 50 Hertz generator.
Daikin Factory Service Startup
All Daikin centrifugal chillers are commissioned
by local Daikin Factory Service personnel or by
authorized Daikin startup technicians. This
procedure helps assure that proper starting and
checkout procedures are employed and helps speed
up the commissioning process.
Part Load Efficiency
According to ASHRAE, 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
chiller operates with the full heat transfer surface
of the entire unit. For example, one 75-ton
compressor on a 150-ton dual chiller utilizes 150
tons of evaporator and condenser surface. This
results in very high unit efficiency and also
increases the compressor’s capacity.
The inclusion of VFDs, as standard, to the dual
compressor chiller can produce astonishing AHRI
Certified IPLVs,
selections can vary from this example.
as low as 0.328 kW/ton. Specific
Compliance with ASHRAE Std. 90.1
With the Magnitude chiller capacity range of 145
to 400 tons, they fall into three ASHRAE Std. 90.1
efficiency groups and revisions.
Additionally, for a higher margin of protection,
normally open auxiliary contacts in the pump
starters can be wired in series with the flow switches
as shown in the Field Wiring Diagram.
Optional Certified Test
A factory engineer oversees the testing, certifies the
accuracy of the computerized results, and translates
the test data onto an easy-to-read spreadsheet. The
tests are run to AHRI tolerance of capacity and
power. 50 Hertz units are tested using an on-site 50
Hertz generator.

Relief Valves
As a safety precaution and to meet code requirements, each chiller is equipped with pressure relief valves
located on the condenser and evaporator for the purpose of relieving excessive refrigerant pressure (caused by
equipment malfunction, fire, etc.) to the atmosphere. Most codes require that relief valves be vented to the
outside of a building and this is a desirable practice for all installations. Relief piping connections to the relief
valves must have flexible connectors.
Note: Remove plastic shipping plugs (if installed) from the inside of the valves prior to making pipe
connections. Whenever vent piping is installed, the lines must be run in accordance with local code
requirements; where local codes do not apply, the latest issue of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 code
recommendations must be followed.
• Condensers have two relief valves as a set with a three-way valve separating the two valves. One valve
remains active at all times and the second valve acts as a standby.
• Evaporators have a single valve. Each valve has a 1.0-inch female NPT connection.
• Each suction line on dual compressor units has a single 200 psig relief valve rated at 6.9 lb/min air with a
3/8-inch flare connection.
Vessel valve capacity is 75.5 lb/min air.

Power Factor Correction
Do not use power factor correction capacitors with
WMC chillers. Doing so can cause harmful
electrical resonance in the system. Correction
capacitors are not necessary since VFDs inherently
maintain high power factors.
The full load power factor exceeds 0.90 for all
units.
VFD Line Harmonics
Despite their many benefits, care must be taken
when applying VFDs due to the effect of line
harmonics on the building electric system. VFDs
cause distortion of the AC line because they are
nonlinear loads, that is, they don't draw sinusoidal
current from the line. They draw their current from
only the peaks of the AC line, thereby flattening
the top of the voltage waveform. Some other
nonlinear loads are electronic ballasts and
uninterruptible power supplies.
Line harmonics and their associated distortion can
be critical to ac-drives for three reasons:
1. Current harmonics can cause additional
heating to transformers, conductors, and
switchgear.
2. Voltage harmonics upset the smooth voltage
sinusoidal waveform.
3. High-frequency components of voltage
distortion can interfere with signals transmitted
on the AC line for some control systems.
The harmonics of concern are the 5
th
13
. Even harmonics, harmonics divisible by three,
and high magnitude harmonics are usually not a
problem.
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. They are standard
equipment on Magnitude chillers.
3. Use an isolation transformer.
4. Use a harmonic filter.
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
th
, 7th, 11th, and
in voltage harmonics. This can 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.
Line Reactors
Five-percent line reactors are standard equipment
on Magnitude chillers and located in each
compressors power panel. They are employed to
improve the power factor by reducing the effects
of harmonics.
Optional Harmonic Filter
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) has developed a standard
(IEEE519) that defines acceptable limits of site
specific system current and voltage distortion.
The designer may wish to consult this standard to
ensure acceptable levels of harmonic distortion are
maintained.
Harmonic filters are available as a field mounted
and wired accessory, wired from the chiller power
panel circuit breakers out to the filter and back to
the chiller’s power fuses and contactors. They
limit current distortion and improve unit power
factor. The filters are mounted in a UL Type 1
enclosure and are UL and cUL listed. The smallest
filter Model HG60 is wall mounted, the balance
are floor mounted.
The harmonic filter package includes power
blocks, a 5% impedance line reactor, tuning
reactor, a contactor and a capacitor bank. When
the harmonic filter is selected, the normal line
reactor in the unit’s main electrical panel is
removed at the factory.
A power monitoring package is included as
standard. It consists of indication lights for filter
operation and fuse failure on the HG60 size.
Filters from size HG75 and up consist of a display
board showing operating information such as
current and voltage total harmonic distortion, true
power factor and a series of fault and protection
codes. It can be programmed to shut off under
fault conditions or when the drive goes into a fault
condition.

The filter size selection is based on the WMC
Rated Load Amps (RLA) as determined by
a computerized chiller selection program. The
local Daikin sales office can provide selection
and pricing information.

EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) and RFI
(Radio Frequency Interference) Filter
This filter is a factory-installed option. The terms
EMI and RFI are often used interchangeably. EMI
is actually any frequency of electrical noise,
whereas RFI is a specific subset of electrical noise
on the EMI spectrum. There are two types of EMI.
The power line noise emissions associated with
variable frequency and variable speed drives can
cause disturbances in nearby equipment. Typical
disturbances include:
•Dimmer and ballast instability
•Lighting disturbances such as flashing
•Poor radio reception
•Poor television reception
•Instability of control systems
•Flow meter totalizing
•Flow metering fluctuation
•Radar disruption
•Sonar disruption
•Computer system failures loss of data
Conducted EMI is unwanted high frequencies that
ride on the AC wave form.
EMI-Radiated EMI is similar to an unwanted
radio broadcast being emitted from the power
lines. There are many pieces of equipment that can
generate EMI, variable frequency drives included.
In the case of variable frequency drives, the
electrical noise produced is primarily contained in
the switching edges of the pulse width modulation
(PWM) controller.
As the technology of drives evolves, switching
frequencies increase. These increases also increase
the effective edge frequencies produced, thereby
increasing the amount of electrical noise.

Catalog 602-2 41
Application
Considerations
Location
WMC chillers are intended only for installation in
an indoor or weather protected area consistent with
the NEMA 1 rating on the chiller, controls, and
electrical panels.
Equipment room temperature for operating and
standby conditions is 40°F to 104°F (4.4°C to
40°C).
Optimum Water
Temperatures and Flow
A key to improving energy efficiency for any
chiller is minimizing the compressor pressure lift.
Reducing the lift reduces the compressor work and
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 10-degree F (5.5
degree C) temperature drop in the evaporator.
Increasing the drop to 12 or 14 degrees F (6.6 or
7.7 degrees C) 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.
Condenser water temperature rise
The industry standard of 3 gpm/ton or about a 9.5degree delta-T seems to work 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.
Chilled Water Temperature
The maximum temperature of water entering the
chiller on standby must not exceed 110° F (43° C).
Maximum temperature entering on start-up must
not exceed 90°F (32.2°C). Minimum chilled water
leaving temperature without antifreeze is
approximately 36°F (2.2°C).
Piping
Piping must be adequately supported to remove
weight and strain on the chiller’s fittings and
connections. Be sure piping is adequately
insulated. Install a cleanable 20-mesh water
strainer at the inlet of the evaporator and
condenser. Install enough shutoff valves to permit
draining water from the evaporator or condenser
without draining the complete system.

Temperature
When the ambient wet bulb temperature is lower
than design, the entering condenser water
temperature can be allowed to fall, improving
chiller performance. As chillers are selected for
lower kW per ton, the cooling tower fan motor
power becomes a higher percentage of the peak
load chiller power. To obtain the lowest possible
energy cost, the interaction between compressor
power, fan power, and pumping power should all
be studied.
Even with tower fan control, some form of water
flow control such as tower bypass or variable
speed condenser water flow may be required to
maintain minimum acceptable entering condenser
water temperatures. must be used. The MicroTech
II control is capable of controlling tower fans and
bypass valve directly or indirectly through an
output signal to the building automation system
ensure stable and efficient chiller operation.
Figure 15 and Figure 16 illustrate two temperature
actuated tower bypass arrangements. The “Cold
Weather” scheme, Figure 16, provides better
startup under cold ambient air temperature
conditions. The bypass valve and piping are
indoors and thus warmer, allowing for warmer
water to be immediately available to the
condenser. The check valve may be required to
prevent air at the pump inlet.
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
install air vents at the high points of piping.
Where noise and vibration are critical and the
unit is mounted on spring isolators, flexible
piping and conduit connections are necessary.
Install a flow switch or pressure differential
switch in the leaving chilled water line, if one is
not factory installed.
Variable Speed Chilled
Water Pumping
Variable speed pumping involves changing
system water flow relative to cooling load
changes. Daikin centrifugal chillers are
designed for this duty with two limitations.
irst, the rate of change in the water flow needs
F
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 3.0 m/sec). Below 3 fps
(0.91 m/sec), laminar flow occurs which
reduces heat transfer and causes erratic
operation. Above 10 fps (3.0 m/sec),
excessively high pressure drops and tube
erosion occur. These flow limits can be
Catalog 602-2 43
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 and
considerable pumping energy can be saved.
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 and tube velocities can cause
premature tube fouling and subsequent increased
compressor power consumption. Increased
cleaning and/or chemical use can also result.
Vibration Mounting
The Magnitude chillers are almost vibration-free.
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.
during the low load period and the desired cycle
time for the compressors.
Assuming that there are no sudden load changes
and 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.
Pump Control
Operation of the chilled water pump can be to:
1) cycle the pump with the unit
2) operate continuously
3) cycle automatically by a remote source
The cooling tower pump must cycle with the
compressor. The holding coil of the cooling
tower pump motor starter must be rated at 115
volts, 60 Hz, with a maximum volt-amperage
rating of 100. A control relay is required if the
voltage-amperage rating is exceeded. See the
Field Wiring Diagram on page 39 or in the
cover of control panel for proper connections.
All interlock contacts must be rated for no less
than 10 inductive amps. The alarm circuit
provided in the control center utilizes 115-volts
AC. The alarm used must not draw more than
10-volt amperes.
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
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 a large energy consumer.
The Daikin Energy
excellent tool to investigate the entire system
efficiency, quickly and accurately. It is
especially good at comparing different system
types and operating parameters. Contact you
local Daikin sales office for assistance on your
particular application.

Retrofit Knockdown
It is estimated that fifty percent of retrofit
applications require partial or complete
disassembly of the chiller. Daikin offers two
solutions to the disassembly and reassembly
effort on Magnitude chillers.

disassembly due to the small compressor size,
simplified refrigerant piping and the absence of a
lubrication system with its attendant components
and piping. Two knockdown arrangements are
available as options.
Contact local Daikin Factory Service for pricing
and scheduling of required installation supervision.
TYPE IV: The compressor(s), control panel, and
compressor power panel(s) are removed at the
factory and put on skids. The stripped vessel stack
is shipped as a single piece. Discharge piping,
liquid line and the compressor cooling line(s) are
removed and crated. All associated wiring and
piping possible will remain on the vessel stack.
ude chillers are relatively easy to
The unit is shipped without refrigerant, which must
be furnished and charged by the contractor.
Type IV reduces the height and weight of the unit.
The width is determined by the evaporator tube
sheet and is not decreased with this arrangement,
nor is the overall unit length. If further weight or
size reduction is required, the vessels can be
separated by unbolting them.
TYPE V: The unit ships fully assembled and
charged with refrigerant and is ready for field
knockdown. This option allows components to be
removed as required at the site. The unit dimension
drawing gives sufficient dimensions to determine
what components should be removed.
Type V gives the installing contractor the option to
remove only those components necessary to
complete the installation. The refrigerant is
pumped down into the condenser and depending
on the degree of knockdown, can remain there,
decreasing the leak testing, evacuation and
charging required in the field.

2.3 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
General: Provide a complete water-cooled, semi-hermetic oil-free centrifugal compressor water chiller as
specified herein. The unit shall be provided according to standards indicated in Section 1.2. In general,
unit shall consist of one or two magnetic bearing, completely oil-free centrifugal compressors,
refrigerant, condenser and evaporator, and control systems including integrated variable frequency
drive, operating controls and equipment protection controls. Chillers shall be designed to operate within
an ambient temperature range of 40ºF to 104ºF with a maximum humidity of 95% (non-condensing)
and shall be charged with refrigerant HFC-134a. If manufacturer offers a chiller using any HCFC
refrigerant that is subject to phase out by the Montreal Protocol or the U.S. Clean Air Act, manufacturer
shall provide, in writing, documentation signed by an officer of the company assuring refrigerant
availability and price schedule for a 20-year period.
A. The entire chiller system, including all pressure vessels, shall remain above atmospheric pressure during
all operating conditions and during shut down to ensure that non-condensables and moisture do not
contaminate the refrigerant and chiller system. If any portion of the chiller system is below atmospheric
pressure during either operation or shut down, the manufacturer shall include, at no charge:
1. Purge System
i. A complete purge system capable of removing non-condensables and moisture during
operation and shut-down. The system shall consist of an air cooled condensing unit, purge
