Foreword
The central chiller consists of a refrigeration circuit to
provide cooling of water or coolant.
This manual is to serve as a guide for installing,
operating, and maintaining the equipment. Improper
installation, operation, and maintenance can lead to
poor performance and/or equipment damage. Use
qualified installers and service technicians for all
installation and maintenance of this equipment.
This manual is for our standard product and is
general in nature. Equipment-specific drawings and
supplemental documents are included as needed.
Additional copies of documents are available upon
request.
Due to the ever-changing nature of applicable
codes, ordinances, and other local laws pertaining to
the use and operation of this equipment, we do not
reference them in this manual.
The equipment uses a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), trade
named R513A, as a chemical refrigerant for heat
transfer purposes. This chemical is sealed and tested
in a pressurized system containing ASME coded
vessels; however, a system failure will release it.
Refrigerant gas can cause toxic fumes if exposed to
fire. Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area,
especially if open flames are present. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a hazardous
condition. We recommend the use of a refrigerant
management program to document the type and
quantity of refrigerant in the equipment. In addition,
we recommend only licensed and EPA certified
service technicians work on our refrigeration circuits.
