Rigging, Lifting, and Moving the
Chiller
The Manhattan™ Gen II Water-Cooled Modular Chiller can
be delivered to the customer’s site as individual modules
or as previously assembled single units, depending on
customer requirements and preferences. Limitations on
the methods and materials that can be used to rig, lift, or
move a chiller or an individual module include:
•
Maintain the module in an upright position at all
times.
•
Certain configurations of modules can be top-
heavy. Move modules slowly with consideration for
each module’s center-of-gravity.
•
Rig, lift, and move by strapping and lifting using a
properly configured floor jack or fork lift or by
overhead means.
•
Position lifting beams to prevent lifting straps from
rubbing or contacting module side panels or
electrical boxes.
•
Do not use cables, chains, or any other type of
metalized strapping to lift a module.
•
Do not push a chiller module while directly in
contact with the floor using manual or mechanical
means.
Mounting Rails
The chiller must be positioned on a firm, level surface. All
modules should be installed onto structural steel rails. The
rails must be level, be a minimum of 4 inches wide
(preferably 6 inch wide) and seated on spring pads.
Custom modules may have different requirements.
Consult submittal drawings to confirm dimensions. See
After setting and lubricating the mounting rails, begin
installing the modules. All of the modules arrive with
labels on the electrical and control panel. Review the
installation drawings to determine which is the first, client,
module. Typically the client module also has the power
distribution panel attached to it.
