See if the cooling water supply rate
is conformed to the specification.
(Check the flow meter, discharge
pressure of the cooling water
pump, current, and other applicable
meters and gauges). If the flow rate
is insufficient, check the opening
ratio of the flow controller valve and
check the strainer for clogging.
•
Check the capacity of the cooling
tower.

Check the purge unit for trouble.
•
Purge non-condensable gas from
the absorption chiller-heater.
•
If partial-load operation is
continued for a long period, non-
condensable gas tends to stay in
the absorber. In this case, purge
directly from the absorber, see

2
Water pressure is not enough or the water valve do not open. Check the water pressure or open the water
valve.
3
Incorrect operation of purging line switching when the water
ejector capacity was checked.
