CHILLER COMPONENTS
A.
Structure: The outdoor section shall have a heavy-duty fully painted, formed steel,
full length and width base. The base, condenser support legs and all other sheet metal
components shall be galvanized, phosphorized, and painted. Coils shall be protected
with wire grilles or louvers. Adequate space shall be provided to service or remove
all components.
B.
Compressors: The compressors shall be accessible hermetic reciprocating type with
suction and discharge service valves, crankcase oil heater and suction strainer.
Compressors shall have a forced feed lubrication system with a reversible oil pump
and initial oil charge. The compressor motor shall be refrigerant gas cooled, high
torque, hermetic induction type, four-pole, with inherent thermal protection on all
three phases and shall be mounted on RIS vibration isolator pads.
C.
Remote Evaporator: The evaporator shall be direct expansion, shell and tube with
carbon steel shell and high efficiency copper tubes rolled into steel tube sheets. The
refrigerant heads shall have multi-pass baffles to assist oil return and be removable to
permit access to the tubes from either end. The evaporator shall be insulated with 3/4
inch (19mm) closed cell polymer insulation with a minimum K factor of 0.28 at 75
°
F
(23
°
C) and be heated with an electric heater to provide freeze protection to -20°F (-
29°C) ambient temperature. The refrigerant side working pressure shall be at least
225 psig (1552 kPa). The water side working pressure shall be at least 225 psig
(1552 kPa). The evaporator must be designed, constructed, inspected, and stamped
according to the ASME Code.
D.
Condenser: The condenser coils shall consist of 3/8 inch (10mm) seamless copper
tubes mechanically bonded into rippled plate type fins. The fins shall have full drawn
collars to completely cover the tubes. A subcooling coil shall be an integral part of
the main condenser coil. Condenser fans shall be propeller type arranged for vertical
air discharge and individually driven by direct drive fan motors. Each fan shall be in
its own compartment to eliminate cross flow of condenser air during fan cycling and
shall be equipped with a heavy-gauge vinyl coated fan guard. Fan motors shall be
weather protected, three-phase, direct-drive, 1140 rpm, totally-enclosed-air-over
(TEAO) type. Speed controlled fan motors shall be single-phase, direct drive, 1140
rpm.
E.
Refrigerant Circuit: The outdoor unit shall be factory equipped with suction and
liquid shutoff valves, relief valves charging valves and discharge mufflers. The
interconnecting refrigerant circuit shall be furnished and installed by the contractor
using a refrigerant filter-drier, sight glass with moisture indicator, liquid line solenoid
valve (no exceptions) and thermal expansion valve provided by the manufacturer. The
suction line shall be insulated..
