230V. If there is other demand, contact 
HANBELL. 

3. Insulation  resistance  value  should  be  above 

5M

 

4. Power  terminals  are  firmly  fixed  on  terminal 

block and well insulated. Keep cables away from 
heat source and sharpened metal.  

5. Regulated by the local electricity regulations. 
6.  Properly  selection  (or  required  by  the  system 

designer) 

7. Proper settings (or required by system designer) 

3. Piping system 

1. Outer piping system 
2. Leakage test 
3. Bolts to fix the compressor. 

1. Fixed firmly 
2. No leakage 
3. Fix the compressor tightly 

4. Safety devices 

1. Motor coil temperature sensor 

(thermistor) 

2. Discharge temperature sensor 

(thermistor) 

3. Controller 

1. Connected  in  series  with  discharge  temperature 

sensor to INT69HBY

2. V/F, motor rated current setting 
3. Acceleration / deceleration time 

1. Those  functions  as  speed  control,  malfunction 

feedback, VFD reset should be workable 

2. Should follow the nameplate of compressor 
3. Acceleration:  50~60  sec  from  0Hz  to  50Hz; 

deceleration: vice versa 

6.Compressor motor 

1. Motor temperature (from 

Pt100/1000) 

2. Liquid level (from motor sight 

glass) 

1. Temperature meter should be correct. 
2. Lower than the upper level of sight glass. 

 
In addition to the pre-start checking given in the above table, also consider the following: 
a. 

It is necessary to pay extra attention to the auxiliary facilities while commissioning the chiller at job-site and have 
periodic maintenance after the initial start-up. 

b. 

In  order  to  keep  steady  lubrication  at  low  ambient  temperature,  oil  heater  should  be  energized  after  the 
compressor shuts down to maintain oil temperature for the next start-up. 

c. 

Check all the settings on each pressure switch. 

d. 

Check if all the stop valves in the system are opened. 

e. 

Check the rotating direction of the compressor by starting the compressor for a transient period (0.5 to 1 sec.) and 
check the suction and discharge pressure gauges. If the compressor runs rightly, the suction pressure drops and 
the discharge pressure climbs immediately. 

f. 

Oil  supply  to  compressor  should  be  checked  immediately  after  start-up.  Oil  flow  switch  is  suggested  so  that  oil 
flow rate could be monitored automatically.  

g. 

Oil foaming may occur during starting stage. Foams should disappear afterwards when the compressor reaches 
stable operating conditions. Otherwise, it indicates excessive liquid in suction gas. 

h. 

The running condition of the compressor after commissioning should be adjusted - discharge temperature should 
be  at  least  10K  above  the  saturated  condensing  temperature  and  the  suction  vapor  superheat  should  be  within 
10K to the saturated evaporating temperature. 

i. 

The whole plant,  especially the pipelines and capillary tubes must be checked for possible  abnormal vibrations. 
Contact HANBELL or local distributors if any abnormal vibrations or noise is found. 

j. 

Regularly check the field according to national regulations and the following items also should be checked:
