Transporting
If a forklift will be used to carry the chiller, proceed slowly and carefully to avoid jarring the unit.
If the chiller will be shipped, protect it from shock and vibration or the warranty will be void. The
chiller must not be transported unless suitably protected. Original factory packaging in good
condition or equivalent is required. Request air-ride trucks when transporting over land.
Thoroughly drain the coolant lines and blow them dry with low pressure compressed air before
shipping or storing. Lydall will not accept any unit containing measurable amounts of fluid. Fluid left
in the unit during shipping may damage components within the unit. Such damage is not covered
by warranty.
Placement
Select a level location, near the application, free from dripping or spraying moisture and excessive
dust. Keeping coolant lines short allows the pump to provide maximum pressure and flow to the
application. If the chiller will be placed more than 25 feet from the application, call Lydall to discuss
placement and how it might affect performance.\
WARNING: Oxygen Depletion Risk
In the event of a refrigerant leak, refrigerant gas may displace oxygen that could result in suffocation
and death. Never place the chiller in a room that is smaller than the minimum room volume
requirement as defined below. If the room is ventilated, the air distribution system must be analyzed
to determine the worst case distribution of leaked refrigerant. A leak detector alarm device is always
required in a ventilated room that does not meet the minimum room volume given below. Assure
adequate and sufficient room volume and ventilation before placing a chiller that contains refrigerant
in a room. Contact Lydall at 1-603-539-5005 if you have any concerns or questions.
Pounds of refrigerant charge can be read directly from the nameplate on your chiller. Remember
to include in your calculation any refrigerant that may be stored in any other containers.
Minimum Room Volume = Pounds of refrigerant x 110 cubic feet
Example: Two chillers are placed in a room, each containing 6 pounds of refrigerant. The minimum
room volume shall be 12 x 110 cubic feet, or 1,320 cubic feet.
