Environmental Considerations Freeze ProtectionAiredale recommends the following actions to help protect the unit during low temperature operation. This also includes the units subject to low ambient temperatures.

Units with supply water temperatures below +5°CGlycol is recommended when a supply water temperature of +5°C or below is required or when static water can be exposed to freezing temperatures.

Units subject to ambient temperatures lower than 0°CGlycol of an appropriate concentration (1) is used within the system to ensure adequate protection. Please ensure that the concentration is capable of protection at least 3°C lower than ambient.

Water / glycol solution is constantly circulated through all waterside pipework and coils to avoid static water from freezing.

Ensure that pumps are started and running even during shut down periods, when the ambient is within 3°C of the solution freeze point (1) (i.e. if the solution freezes at 0°C, the pump must be operating at 3°C ambient).

Additional trace heating is provided for interconnecting pipework.

Compressor

Turbocor centrifugal compressor supplied with as standard:• Vibration isolating rubber mounts • Suction strainer • Suction and discharge shut off valves • Discharge non-return valve • Line reactor (for removing additional

impedance harmonics and voltage spikes in the ac waveform)

• EMI/EMC fi lter and comprising of:

and incorporating surge protection Soft start module Magnetic bearing system • The compressors are mounted on Turbocor

specially designed vibration reducing isolation. Linear capacity modulation is provided by a variable frequency drive. Key benefi ts of Turbocor compressor technology: • Oil Free Operation• More effi cient use of heat exchangers• No oil entrainment issues – pipe work can be

oversized• Variable speed operation offering exact capacity

match and optimum part load performance • Magnetic bearing system constantly optimises

shaft/impeller position • Small and light, only 120kg• No mechanical contact, very quiet operation• Very low current start, only 2A

The intelligent, self optimising compressor offers near silent, oil free operation and ultra effi cient variable speed control. Turbocor compressor shaft and impellers levitate on a magnetic cushion eliminating friction and vibration resulting in the compressor running at a smooth and reduced sound spectrum.

The TurboChill compressor’s variable speed control offers 2 major benefi ts: • Uses substantially less power at part load and

gives accurate set-point control and exact capacity match

• The inbuilt electronic soft start produces a very low starting current of just 2A and eradicates the need to oversize electrical supply components on site.

Flooded Evaporator

Shell and tube fl ooded evaporator heat exchangers constructed from a steel shell with internally enhanced copper tubes.

The heat exchanger is insulated with closed cell polyurethane foam which is to Class O fi re rating and the material is UV resistant.

The fl ooded evaporator results in signifi cant energy savings in compressor operation particularly at part load. The Turbocor compressor can run at a much lower compression ratio than conventional screw compressors - as low as 20ºC condensing temperature when evaporating at 5ºC as opposed to around 35ºC condensing for a screw compressor.

The confi guration of the fl ooded evaporator enhances optimum heat exchange and evaporating temperatures are typically above that of a DX system. The design of the fl ooded evaporator provides optimum system effi ciency atboth full and partial load operation.

Typically a water system at 12/7°C would see an evaporating temperature of approximately 6°C.

Constant superheat offers system stability and reliability.

METHOD 1(Preferred Method)

Where the system permanent heat load is known, the minimum water volume in litres Vmin is:

Vmin = Water Flow Rate (litres/min) x Minimum Compressor Run Time (min) x Chiller Loading Factor

Chiller Loading Factor = Minimum Turndown (kW) x 1.2

Permanent Heat Load

Minimum Turndown = 1 Compressor - 30%2 compressors - 15%3 Compressors - 10%4 Compressors - 7.5%

Example: 750kW output at 35°C Ambient and 7/12°C WaterPermanent Heat Load = 300kWMinimum Turndown = 7.5% (4 compressors)

Vmin =750 x 60 x 5 x 67.5 = 2163 Litres3.9 x 5 300

METHOD 2 Where the system permanent heat load is unknown:

Vmin = Water Flow Rate (litres/hour) x Minimum Turndown x 1.2 x Minimum Compressor Run Time (Hours)

+ Internal water volume (274)

Minimum Turndown = 1 Compressor - 30%2 compressors - 15%3 Compressors - 10%4 Compressors - 7.5%

Example: 750kW output at 35°C Ambient and 7/12°C Water Minimum Turndown = 0.075 (7.5% 4 compressors)

Vmin =750 x 3600 0.075 x 1.2 x 5 +274 = 1312 Litres3.9 x 5 60

CAUTION Full design water fl ow MUST be maintained at all times. Variable water volume is NOT recommended and will invalidate warrantyThe correct operation of the fl ow proving device is critical if the chiller warranty is to be valid.

Following components are fi tted within the chiller unit as standard:• Temperature Sensors• Drain Point• Auto Air Vent

Water SystemComponent Recommended Requirements The recommended requirements to allow commissioning to be carried out correctly are:• The inclusion of Binder Points adjacent to the fl ow and return connections, to allow temperature and

pressure readings• A differential pressure sensor or equivalent, fi tted adjacent to the water outlet side of the unit Chiller• A 20 mesh strainer fi tted prior to the evaporator inlet• A water-fl ow commissioning valve set fi tted to the system• In multiple chiller installations, 1 commissioning valve set is required per chiller• Isolating valves should be installed adjacent to all major items of equipment for ease of maintenance• Balancing valves can be installed if required to aid correct system balancing• All chilled water pipework must be insulated and vapour sealed to avoid condensation• If several units are installed in parallel adjacent to each other, reverse return should be applied to avoid

unnecessary balancing valves

TurboChill Water Cooled Chillers

34 Chiller Technical Manual 7267818 V1.0.0_10_2011

Water SystemChilled water pipework and ancillary components must be installed in accordance with:• National and Local Water supply company standards• The manufacturer’s instructions are followed when fi tting ancillary components• The system liquid is treated to prevent corrosion and algae forming• In ambients of 0°C and below, where static water can be expected, or when water supply temperatures of +5°C or

below is required, the necessary concentration of Glycol or use of an electrical trace heater must be included• The schematic is referred to as a guide to ancillary recommendations CAUTION The unit water connections are NOT designed to support external pipework, pipework MUST be supported separately.

Grooved & Clamped Type Connection1 Place Grooved Ends Together

2 Locate Rubber Gasket • Note that an expansion gap of 3 mm is shown here.• The gasket should be checked for compatability and

damage prior to installation.• A thin coat of sealing lubricant should be applied to

both the inside and outside mating surfaces.• Slip the gasket fully onto one of the pipe ends, align

the second pipe and slide the gasket into place.

3 Place Clamp over Gasket.

4 Secure ClampWrap the 2-halves of the clamp over the gasketEnsure the gasket fi ts snugly within the grooved recess within the inside of the clamp and that the clamp mates correctly. Tightend the bolts incrementally and evenly at both sides until a leak free seal is formedThe gasket should not be visible beneath the clamp when the bolts are properly tightened.

Turbochill Water CooledChillers

35Chiller Technical Manual 7267818 V1.0.0_10_2011

Pump Statement When installing circulating water pumps or equipment containing them, the following rules should be applied: • Ensure the system is fi lled with liquid then vented and the pump primed with water before running the pump, this is

required because the pumped liquid cools the pump bearings and mechanical seal faces• To avoid cavitation the NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) incorporating a safety margin of 0.5Barg must be

available at the pump inlet during operation Interlocks & Protection Always electrically interlock the operation of the chiller with the pump controls and fl ow proving device for safety reasons.CAUTION Failure to install safety devices will invalidate the chiller warranty. CAUTION Do not rely solely on the BMS to protect the chiller against low fl ow conditions.

An evaporator pump interlock and fl ow proving device MUST be directly wired to the chiller. Failure to do this will invalidate Warranty.

Maximum System Operating Pressure The system can safely operate at a maximum of 10bar. Pressure Testing When all the pipework has been connected in the system, proceed as follows:• Ensure all shut off and control valves are fully open• Pressurise system to the operating pressure, hold for 1 hour (a gradual fall in pressure shown on the gauge

indicates a leak)• Leaks should be found and repaired and the unit pressure tested for a further hour • When the pressure remains at the operating pressure for 1 hour, the system can be considered leak free. CAUTION Although a pressure of 1.5 x working pressure is adequate for testing purposes, most local water authorities require 2 x working pressure. RECORD Record on commissioning sheet provided once completed.

Filling CAUTION The whole system MUST be fl ushed prior to fi lling to remove debris left in the water pipework by using a fl ushing bypass as shown to avoid serious damage to the shell and tube evaporator. • During fi lling the system should be vented at all high points• Once the system has been completely vented all vents should be closed• To prevent air locking in the system it is advisable to fi ll the systems from the lowest point, ie

drain point on pipework• If auto air vents are used then we strongly recommend an auto pressurisation unit be fi tted to

the system. Considerations must be made for glycol of the correct concentration to ensure the cooling medium is not diluted.

Commissioning Procedure

Electrical connections Ensure all electrical connection are tight and correctly terminated.

External fuses/ MCB’s Check that the correct electrical supply rating is available to the unit

Electrical continuityBefore electrical power is applied to the unit. Electrical continuity checks must the carried out on the 3 phase power.

Phase rotation Check that the electrical phase rotation is correct. Components in the unit will malfunction with incorrect phase rotation.

Electrical earthing Check that the unit is correctly earthed.

Remote on/off To ensure that the unit does not start whist doing the pre-commissioning checks the remote on/off switch should be in the OFF state.

Voltage • Measure the voltage at the following points and record on the commissioning sheet• Voltage at busbar• Dedicated power supply• Voltage at permanent supply• Control voltage at transformer (min 22.5V, max 25V)

The voltage measurements should be carried out with the unit MCB’s turned off.

WatersideGeneral water pipeworkEnsure that the system water pipework is clean from debris. If a fl ush and bypass circuit is included ensure that the system is fl ushed prior to water entering the unit.

Water fi lter fi ttedEnsure that the water fi lter is fi tted and clean.

Water fl ow rateCheck that the design water fl owrate is available to the unit.

Turbochill Water CooledChillers

43Chiller Technical Manual 7267818 V1.0.0_10_2011

Glycol strength Check and record the glycol type and strength. Low levels of glycol can cause freeze up problems when operating at low temperatures or during the unit off state during cold ambient conditions.

Glycol concentration is measured by use of a Refractometer.

Differential pressure sensorEnsure that the differential pressure sensor operates satisfactory; the best way to do this is to reduce the Flow to the Chiller.• From pressure curves determine the design Flowrate/ pressure drop• Make sure that any effects of glycol in the system are taken into account (Flowrate and pressure drop).• Input into the controller the reduced pressure drop (kPa) value (Normally 80% of design Flowrate)

Once this value is programmed into the controller the water Flowrate can be reduced to verify that the low fl ow alarm is activated.

Ensure that the tubes connected to the sensor are insulated.

Low supply water trip To check operation of the low temperature trip the following procedure can be carried out.With the unit running increase the low temperature limit to the actual supply water temperature.This will trip the unit in a safe manner without risk of freezing the evaporator

Return the low temperature limit to correct value after test. (this will allow the unit to operate correctly)

Pump interlockThe pump interlock is fi tted and functioning correctly.

Do not rely on the solenoid valve to isolate refrigerant.

The solenoid valve will eventually pass refrigerant if a higher pressure is on the normally low side of the valve.

Compressor Non return valveCheck the operation of the non return valve. The internal spring must be located in the retaining groove.

Pressure relief valve

In line with EN 378, Airedale recommends that the valve be replaced at least every 5 years.These intervals may have to be reduced if other regulations apply.

The pressure relief is fi tted to the unit by a three way dual shut off valve. This valve enables the pressure relief to be changed without the need for refrigerant recovery.

The valve is positioned normally one way or the other. To change a pressure relief valve back seat or forward seat the valve to seal the required port that is being changed.

Dont forget to set the valve into the centre to chaeck that the valve does not leak refrigerant. Then select one of the pressure relief valves and open that port. Take extreme care that the correct port is selected.

CAUTIONPut the cap on the three way valvePerform an F-Gas inspection35

Storage Recommendations

Airedale recommends that equipment should be stored in an ambient protected warehouse facility.

• The unit should be stored within a heated warehouse ensuring that the temperature does not fall below 0°C.• All water should be drained from the evaporator• Refrigerant line shut off valves are closed.

Before turning the unit on after extended periods of storage the following checks / procedures must be carried out over and above any commissioning checks.

Any low temperature protection devices must be turned on for a minimum of 8 hour.

These include• Compressor crankcase heaters.• Panel heaters.• Electric trace heating.

Checks must be carried out for the operation of unit components

Waterside• 3 way valve• Check that fl ow switches operate correctly.• Check that differential pressure sensor operates.

Electrical• Electrical seals and glands are satisfactory and have not cracked• All electrical terminal boxes are free from moisture.• All cable insulation is satisfactory and does not have any signs of damage.• Refrigeration

• Ensure all valves are open• Carry out an F-gas inspection ensuring no refrigerant leaks.
