WC SERIES VARIABLE SPEED DUAL SCREW CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Safety Considerations
Installing and servicing air conditioning and heating
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and
electrical components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair or service heating and air
conditioning equipment. When working on heating and
air conditioning equipment observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and follow
other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have a
fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
NOTE:
Before installing, check voltage of unit(s) to ensure
proper voltage.
WARNING: Before performing service or
maintenance operations on the system, turn off
main power switches to the unit. Electrical shock
could cause serious personal injury.
Application
Units are not intended for heating domestic potable water
by direct coupling. If used for this type of application, a
secondary heat exchanger must be used.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “Up” orientation as indicated by
the labels on the unit packaging. When the equipment
is received, all items should be carefully checked against
the bill of lading to ensure that all crates and cartons
have been received in good condition. Examine units for
shipping damage, removing unit packaging if necessary
to properly inspect unit. Units in question should also
be internally inspected. If any damage is observed, the
carrier should make the proper notation on delivery receipt
acknowledging the damage. Units are to be stored in a
location that provides adequate protection from dirt, debris
and moisture.
Units are setup to be side picked using a fork lift. Some
units include pick bars allowing for picking from the end
with required fork lengths. Note unit labels and markings
for safe picking points. Do not pick the unit up from points
not specified and keep the unit level during transport and
handling. Using improper equipment handling methods can
result in damage and/or void the warranty.
General Installation Information
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage, do not
leave the system filled in a building without heat
during cold weather, unless adequate freeze
protection levels of antifreeze are used. Heat
exchangers do not fully drain and will freeze
unless protected, causing permanent damage.
Unit Location
Provide sufficient room to make water and electrical
connections. If the unit is located in a confined space,
provisions must be made for unit servicing. Locate the
unit in an indoor area that allows easy removal of the
access panels and has enough space for service personnel
to perform maintenance or repair. These units are not
approved for outdoor installation and, therefore, must be
installed inside the structure being conditioned. Do not
locate units in areas subject to freezing conditions.
WARNING: Do not store or install units in
corrosive environments or in locations subject
to temperature or humidity extremes (e.g. attics,
garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions and
high temperature or humidity can significantly
reduce performance, reliability, and service life.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage and
possible voiding of warranty, be sure that
properly sized strainers are installed upstream
of both brazed plate heat exchangers to protect
them against particles in the fluid.
