Foreword
The portable chiller is a packaged unit typically
consisting of a refrigeration circuit, coolant reservoir,
and pumping system in a cabinet. The purpose is to
provide cooling water or coolant for cooling an
industrial process.
This manual is to serve as a guide for installing,
operating, and maintaining the equipment. Improper
installation can lead to poor performance and/or
equipment damage. We recommend the use of
qualified installers and service technicians for all
installation and maintenance of this equipment.
This manual is for our standard product. The
information in this manual is general in nature. Unit-
specific drawings and supplemental documents are
included with the equipment as needed. Additional
copies of documents are available upon request. We
strive to maintain an accurate record of all
equipment during the course of its useful life.
Due to the ever-changing nature of applicable
codes, ordinances, and other local laws pertaining to
the use and operation of this equipment, we do not
reference them in this manual. There is no substitute
for common sense and good operating practices
when placing any mechanical equipment into
operation. We encourage all personnel to familiarize
themselves with this manual's contents. Failure to do
so may unnecessarily prolong equipment down time.
The equipment uses a hydro fluorocarbon (HFC),
trade named R-407c, as a chemical refrigerant for
heat transfer purposes. This chemical is sealed and
tested in a pressurized system containing ASME
coded vessels; however, a system failure will release
it. Refrigerant gas can cause toxic fumes if exposed
to fire. Place these units in a well-ventilated area,
especially if open flames are present. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a hazardous
condition. We recommend the use of a refrigerant
management program to document the type and
quantity of refrigerant in the equipment. In addition,
we recommend only licensed and EPA certified
service technicians work on our refrigeration circuits.
Follow good piping practices and the information in
this manual to ensure successful installation and
operation of this equipment.
We trust your equipment will have a long and useful
life. If you should have any questions, please contact
our Customer Service Department specifying the
serial number and model number of the unit as
indicated on the nameplate.
