criteria
Cause
Remedy
Temperature dif-
ference between
cooling water
outlet and con-
densing is large.
Above 3°C
1. Air is mixed into machine
2. Tube contaminated
3. Insufficient cooling water amount
4. Air taken in from cooling water pump
intake
1. Clean tube
2. Check cooling water system and in-
crease to specified amount
3. Enhance pump intake
Condensing
pressure is high
9.5 kg/cm
2
or more
1. High Temp. Cooling water
▷
Lower the
performance of cooling tower
2. Chilled water high temp.
3. Cooling water bypass in waterbox
4. Tubes contaminated
1. Check cooling tower performance
2. Lower chilled water temp.
3. Replace gasket in waterbox
4. Clean tube
Chilled water
temperature is
normal. However
the temperature
difference be-
tween the inlet
and outlet of
cooling water is
large.
Check
chiller data
sheet
1. Cooling water amount decreased
2. Air taken in from cooling water pump
intake
1. Check the cooling water system and
increase to specified amount
2. Enhance pump intake

Cause
Remedy
Evaporating
pressure is low
and chilled water
inlet/outlet tem-
perature differ-
ence is small
-
1. Butterfly valve adjustment defect
2. Insufficient chilled water amount
3. Tube contaminated
4. Insufficient refrigerant amount
1. Butterfly valve opening adjustment
2. Check chilled water system (flow)
3. Clean tube
4. Recharge refrigerant
Difference be-
tween evaporat-
ing temperature
and chilled water
outlet tempera-
ture is increased
Above 3°C
1. Insufficient charging of refrigerant
2. Contamination of refrigerant
3. Decreased chilled water amount
4. Air mixed in chilled water
5. Chilled water bypass in waterbox
6. Tube contaminated
1. Add refrigerant
2. Clean refrigerant
3. Check chilled water system and in-
crease to specified amount
4. Enhance chilled water pump intake
5. Replace gasket in waterbox
6. Clean tube
