14. Set the valve position setting at 30 - 40%. See
for more information on
how to change the settings.
15. Watch the liquid level in the absorber.
16. When the liquid level in the absorber drops, press the Forced Dilution
OFF
button.
17. Repeat steps 12 through 16 three or four times. If the liquid level in the absorber does not go
down, the crystals have melted.
18. Let the solution pump operate independently for about 30 minutes. Constantly observe the
liquid level in the absorber while the solution pump operates.
19. After about 30 minutes, stop the solution pump.
20. Press the Refrigerant Pump
Auto
button.
21. Return the valve cap. There is an O-ring between the cap and valve. When fitting the cap, make
sure that the O-ring is set normally.
Precautions for de-crystallization
• Cycle the chilled and cooling water pumps off and on during the melting process.
• Remove any sensors that are sensitive to heat before you start the melting operation. The
temperature of the chilled and cooling water that remains in the absorption chiller can rise to
about 158°F.
• When you start the chiller after melting the crystals, discharge the chilled water and cooling
water first. If that water is left in the machine, the paint on the inside walls can be peeled off.

Manual purging from purging
tank
. Manually purge non-
condensable gas from the purging tank.
The chiller has an automatic
purge system. Perform it
one time at beginning of the
season every year and one
time every 2-3 months.
