General Description
The Daikin Two-Stage Dual Centrifugal Compressor Water Chillers (WCT) are complete, self-
contained, automatically controlled fluid chilling units. Each unit is completely assembled and factory
tested before shipment. These chillers have a separate refrigerant circuit for each compressor. They
are available in single pass arrangement only. They provide the high full load efficiency advantage of
two separate chillers arranged for counter flow operation in a single, compact unit.
The Daikin Model WCT Chillers use 2-stage compressors and provide cooling capacity from 2200 tons
(7750 kW) to 3250 tons (11400 kW) depending on operating conditions in each chiller, which comes up
5000-6000TR system capacity when chiller installs in series counter-flow configuration. In the WCT
series, each unit has two compressors and two economizers connected to a single condenser, and an
evaporator. Each condenser and evaporator has two separate refrigerant circuits.
WCT chiller is suitably designed for series counter-flow, which two WCT unit is connecting in series
and work as one chiller.
The driveline of the WCT is made up of two two-stage compressors, each with a gear set and a 2-
pole, induction semi-hermetic motor.
The controls are pre-wired, adjusted and tested. Only normal field connections such as water and
relief valve piping, electrical and interlocks, etc. are required, thereby simplifying installation and
increasing reliability. Most of the necessary equipment protection and operating controls are factory
installed in the control panel.
Application
Daikin WCT centrifugal chillers are factory tested prior to shipment and must be initially started at
the job site by a factory-trained Daikin authorized technician. Failure to follow this startup procedure
can affect the equipment warranty.
Cooling towers used with Daikin centrifugal chillers are normally selected for maximum condenser
inlet water temperatures between 75°F and 95°F (24°C and 35°C). Lower entering water
temperatures are desirable from the standpoint of energy reduction, but a minimum does exist. See
page10 for recommendations on optimum entering water temperature and cooling tower fan control.
