Unit Start Up Procedures

Daily Unit Start Up 

The timeline for the sequence of operation begins with a 
power-up of the main power to the chiller. The sequence 
assumes 2 circuits, with one or two compressors, Sintesis 
Excellent GVAF chiller with no diagnostics or malfunctioning 
components. External events such as the operator placing 
the chiller in AUTO or STOP, chilled water flow through the 
evaporator, and application of load to the chilled-water loop 
causing loop water-temperature increases, are depicted 
and the chiller responses to those events are shown, with 
appropriate delays noted. The effects of diagnostics, and 
other external interlocks other than evaporator water-flow 
proving, are not considered.
Note: unless the UC800 TD7 and building automation system 
are controlling the chilled-water pump, the manual unit start 
sequence is as follows. Operator actions are noted. 

General 

If the present checkout, as discussed above, has been 
completed, the unit is ready to start.

1.  Press the STOP key on the TD7 display.
2.  As necessary, adjust the set point values on the  

TD7  menus  using Tracer TU. 

3.  Close the fused-disconnect switch for the chilled-water 

pump. Energize the pump(s) to start water circulation 

4.  Check the service valves on the discharge line, suction 

line, oil line, and liquid line for each circuit. These 
valves must be open (back seated) before starting the 
compressors.

5.  Verify that chilled-water pump runs for at least one 

minute after the chiller is commanded to stop (for 
normal chilled-water systems).

6.  Press the AUTO key. If the chiller control calls for cooling, 

and all safety interlocks are closed, the unit will start. The 
compressor(s) will load and unload in response to the 
leaving chilled – water temperature;

After the system has been operating for approximately 30 
minutes and has become stabilized, complete the remaining 
start up procedures, as follows:

1.  Check the evaporator refrigerant pressure and the 

condenser refrigerant pressure under Refrigerant Report 
on  the TD7. 

2.  Check the EXV sight glasses after enough time has 

elapsed to stabilize the chiller. The refrigerant flow 
through the sight glasses should be clear. Bubbles in 
the refrigerant indicate either low refrigerant charge 
or excessive pressure drop in the liquid line, or an 
expansion valve that is stuck open. A restriction in 
the line can sometimes be identified by a noticeable 
temperature differential between the two sides of the 
restriction. Frost will often form on the line at this point. 
Proper refrigerant charges are shown in the General 
Information Section;

3.  Measure the system discharge superheat.
4.  Clean the air filter located on the door of the control 

panel of AFD if required. 

Note: 

The system cannot be pumped down due to the surge 

characteristics of centrifugal compressors.
Inverted Start, commonly called “Monday Morning Start 
Up”, can be a situation containing a high evaporation 

load (high building heat inertia). This inertia may lead 
to compressor capacity limitations due to choke at low 
pressure ratio.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

- Do not use recycled refrigerant as it may contain oil, which 
can affect system reliability. The refrigerant should be pure 
and stored in virgin containers
- Hoses should be free of oil
- Do not attempt more than three restarts after a critical 
fault. Continued attempts may cause the shaft to 
degmagnetize. Please contact OEM service provider.

Seasonal Unit Startup Procedure

1.  Close all valves and reinstall the drain plugs in the 

evaporator.

2.  Service the auxiliary equipment according to the startup 

and maintenance instructions provided by the respective 
equipment manufacturers. 

3.  Close the vents in the evaporator chilled-water circuits.
4.  Open all the valves in the evaporator chilled-water 

circuits.

5.  Open all refrigerant valves.
6.  If the evaporator was previously drained, vent and fill 

the evaporator and chilled-water circuit. When all air is 
removed from the system (including each pass), install 
the vent plugs in the evaporator water boxes.

7.  Check the adjustment and operation of each safety and 

operating control.

8.  Close all disconnect switches.
9.  Refer to the sequence for daily unit start up for the 

remainder of the seasonal start up.

System Restart after Extended 
Shutdown

1.  Verify that the liquid-line service valves, compressor 

discharge service valves, and optional suction service 
valves are open (back seated)

2.  Fill the evaporator water circuit. Vent the system 

while it is being filled. Open the vent on the top of the 
evaporator while filling, and close it when filling is 
completed. 

3.  Close the fused-disconnect switches that provide power 

to the chilled-water pump.

4.  Start the evaporator water pump and, while water is 

circulating, inspect all piping for leakage. Make any 
necessary repairs before starting the unit.

5.  While the water is circulating, adjust the water flow and 

check the water pressure drops through the evaporator. 
Refer to “water-system flow rates” and “water-system 
pressure drop”

6.  Adjust the flow switch on the evaporator piping for 

proper operation

7.  Stop the water pump. The unit is now ready for startup 

as described “Startup procedures” 

CAUTION!

 To prevent damage to the compressor, ensure that 

all refrigerant valves are open before starting the unit. Do 
not use untreated or improperly treated water. Equipment 
damage may occur.
