temperature.
• See if the cooling water supply rate is conformed to
the specification. (Check the flow meter, discharge
pressure of the cooling water pump, current, and other
relevant water gauges) If the flow rate is low, check the
opening ratio of the flow controller valve and check the
strainer for clogging.
• Check the capacity of the cooling tower.
• See
.
• Check the capacity of the vacuum pump.
• Check the purge unit for trouble.
• Purge air from the absorption chiller. 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
