TROUBLESHOOTING PERFORMANCE
ISSUES
If the performance is insufficient while the capacity
control valve is fully opened or if the capacity control
valve does not fully open while the load is sufficient,
check numbers 1-6 in the following table in order. If
the cause of the trouble is other than numbers 1-6, it
may be one of number 7-12. In this case, contact your
local Johnson Controls Service Center immediately.

TROUBLESHOOTING PERFORMANCE
ISSUES
ITEM
CAUSE
COUNTERMEASURE
1
Cooling water temp. is high.
Check the capacity of the cooling tower.
2
Cooling water flow rate is insufficient.
• See if the cooling water supply rate matches the specification.
(Check the flow meter, discharge pressure of the cooling water
pump, current, etc.)
• If the flow rate is insufficient, check the opening ratio of the flow
controller valve and check the strainer for clogging.
3
Cooling water heat exchange tube is dirty.
Contact your local Johnson Controls Service Office.
4
Non-condensable gas remains in machine.
.
• Check the capacity of the vacuum pump.
• Check the purge unit for trouble.
• Purge non-condensable gas from the absorption chiller-heater.
• If partial-load operation is continued for a long period, non-
condensable gas tends to stay in the absorber. In this case,
purge directly from the low-pressure side (absorber). See
• Even if the automatic purge unit is installed, purge from the lower
pressure side (absorber) manually.
5

properly
Set each setting parameter of the chilled/hot water outlet
