6. Installation
6.1 Chiller location and foundation
A) Chiller shall not be located in rainy or exposed directly under the sun. If chiller is placed near
beach or chemical plant etc., corrosion might occur to electronic parts or chiller painting.
Special condition is required as per special chiller design. Please consult the local sales office
for details.
B) Please install proper ventilation device so as to prevent suffocation caused by refrigerant
leakage.
C) ZUW chiller is not designed for explosion condition. It is forbidden to install the chiller in
flammable gas space.
D) Chiller plant temperature shall be within 3
℃
~40
℃
. Relative humidity shall be less than 90%.
Temperature fluctuation shall be within 8
℃
/hour.
If chiller is installed in cold area, anti-freezing measure shall be taken not only for chiller but
also for other device in chilled water and cooling water system.
E) It is not recommended to put chiller and boiler in the same plant. It will affect chiller
performance. Please confirm with local sales office and distributor if required.
F) It shall keep certain distance between cooling and easily corrupt metal\electrical parts etc.
Locate the cooling tower in appropriate place to avoid cooling water contamination. It is
forbidden to locate the chiller near coast\plating plant\chemical plant etc. where the cooling
water might be contaminated. Check cooling water periodically. And chiller shall keep certain
distance from ammonia device\toilet and surgery vent\cloaca. Otherwise condenser tube
corruption might cause refrigerant leakage. If client use sea water or river water as the cooling
water, then special design of condenser shall be used.
G) Chiller shall be installed in the place which is not sensitive to vibration or noise.
Isolator of vibration or noise should be used if chiller is installed in noise and vibration sensitive
place.
The vibration may come from installation location, floor or wall; thereby the chiller plant room
should be set at bottom floor of the basement.
H) Please locate the chiller where the chiller's weight is bearable.
I) For easy drainage, the chiller foundation should be higher than its surrounding.
Water proof treatment is suggested for the floor to ensure maintenance of the chiller.
Please locate the drain and auxiliary facilities surrounding the chiller. It is forbidden to install the
chiller in potentially flooded area.
J) For regular maintenance, please consider the light condition of the chiller. Please install lights
for insufficient lighting condition.
