IOM 1274-3 • CENTRIFUGAL WATER CHILLERS 8

Installation
Location
The chillers are designed for indoor installation only. Special
procedures must be executed to prevent damage if freezing
indoor temperatures are possible.
NOTE:
Excessive humidity in the mechanical room should
be avoided. A limit of 90% non-condensing humidity
should be met to minimize electrical components
exposure to water condensing in panels. Humidity
levels in the mechanical room, even if lower than
90%, can cause water to condense on/near all cool
surfaces and potentially lead to premature component
wear. If possible, the mechanical room should be
conditioned which can extend the useful lifetime for
all mechanical room equipment.
Radiant heat from boilers or piping that would
adversely raise component surface temperatures
beyond ambient limits must also be avoided.

Equipment room operating temperature:
40-104 °F (4.4-40 °C)
Equipment room temperature, standby,
with water in vessels and oil cooler:

Equipment room temperature, standby,
without water in vessels and oil cooler:
0-113 °F (-17.7-45 °C)
Clearance
The unit must be located to provide adequate service
clearance around the unit. See
Figure 3
for clearance
requirements around the sides of the chiller, including the
length of the vessels allowed at one end for tube service.
Doors and removable wall sections can be utilized to meet
these clearance requirements. There must be a minimum
3-feet clearance above the top of the chiller. The U.S. National
Electric Code (NEC) or local codes can require more clearance
in and around electrical components and must be checked for
compliance.
Mounting
The unit must be mounted on a level concrete or steel base.
Make sure that the floor or structural support is adequate to
support the full operating weight of the complete unit.
It is not necessary to bolt the unit to the mounting slab or
framework; but should this be desirable, 1 1/8” (28.5 mm)
mounting holes are provided in the unit support at the four
corners.
NOTE:
Units are shipped with refrigerant and oil valves
closed to isolate these fluids for shipment. Valves
must remain closed until start-up by the Daikin
Applied technician.
The neoprene vibration pads (shipped loose in the power
panel) should be placed under the corners of the unit (unless
the job specifications state otherwise). They must be installed
so that they are flush with the edges of the unit feet. Most
single compressoessor units have six mounting feet although
only the outer four are required. Six pads are shipped and the
installer can place pads under the middle feet if desired.
When mounted, the base pad of the unit must be level to within
± 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) across the length and width of the unit.

NOTE:
Unit configuration may be different than illustrated. Hinged type waterboxes may require more clearance. Consult a
Daikin Applied sales representative for details.
