Freeze Protection

 

Depending on the ambient temperature the unit may be 
exposed to freeze, there are multiple options for freeze 
protection. They are listed in order of highest ambient 
(least freeze protection) to the lowest ambient (most freeze 
protection).
For all chiller running with water under cold ambient 
temperature (below 0°C), it is extremely important to keep 
full water flow in the evaporator for an extended time 
after last compressor stops. This will protect evaporator 
tube from freezing by refrigerant migration. This is why 
evaporator water pump output relay must be used to 
control the chilled water pump. This is not mandatory if 
glycol is used with protection down to lowest ambient 
expected.

1. Water pump and heaters

a. Heaters are factory installed on water boxes and 

evaporator shell. They will protect it from freezing 
in ambient temperatures down to -20°C.Heaters are 
installed on the water piping and on the pumps of units 
equipped with hydraulic module. 

b. Install heat tape on all water piping, pumps, and other 

components that may be damaged if exposed to 
freezing temperatures. Heat tape must be designed 
for low ambient temperature applications. Heat tape 
selection should be based on the lowest expected 
ambient temperature. 

c. Tracer™ UC800 controller can start the pump(s) when 

freezing conditions are detected. For this option the 
pumps must be controlled by the GVAF unit and this 
function validated on the chiller controller. 

d. Water circuit valves need to stay open at all times.

Note: 

Water pump control and heater combination will 

protect the evaporator down to any ambient temperature 
provided power is available to the pump and the UC800 
controller. This option will NOT protect the evaporator 
in the event of power failure to the chiller unless backup 
power is supplied to the necessary components.

Note: 

When no chiller operation is possible and the pump 

is already off, UC800 pump control function for freeze 
protection will command the pump to turn on:

• ON if the average of the evaporator entering water 
temperature, evaporator leaving temperature, and the 
evaporator refrigerant pool temperature is less than  
Low Evaporator Refrigerant Temperature Cutout (LERTC) + 
2.2°C for a period of time
• OFF again if the evaporator refrigerant pool temperature 
rise above LERTC + 3.3°C for a period of time

Note: 

The period of time referenced for ON and OFF 

conditions above described is dependent on past running 
conditions and present temperature measured. 

• ON if entering OR leaving water temperature < LWTC for 
16.2°C-sec
• OFF again if water temperature > LWTC for 30 min

OR

2. Freeze inhibitor 

a. Freeze protection can be accomplished by adding 

sufficient glycol to protect against freezing down to the 
lowest ambient expected.

b. See “evaporator glycol requirement” section for 

guidance on determining the glycol concentration.

Note: 

Use of glycol type antifreeze reduces the cooling 

capacity of the unit and must be considered in the design 
of the system specifications.

OR

3. Drain water circuit 

For ambient temperatures below -20°C and for those 
installation not including either option 1 or 2 above 
described
a. Shut off power supply to unit and to all heaters.
b. Purge the water circuit
c. Blow out the evaporator to ensure that no liquid is left 

inside the evaporator and the water lines. Drain the 
pump.

CAUTION! Evaporator damage!

If insufficient concentration or no glycol is used, the 
evaporator water pumps must be controlled by the UC800 
to avoid severe damage to the evaporator due to freezing. 
A power loss of 15 minutes during freezing can damage 
the evaporator. It is the responsibility of the installing 
contractor and/or the customer to ensure that a pump will 
start when called upon by the chiller controls.
Please consult the table named “Recommended Low 
Evaporator Refrigerant Cutout (LRTC) and % Glycol for 
GVAF chillers”.
With factory-fitted disconnect switch option, evaporator 
trace heating is taken from the live side of the isolator. As 
a consequence, the heaters are energized as long as the 
main switch is closed. Supply voltage to the heating tapes 
is 400V.

The warranty will be void, in case of freezing due to the 
lack of use of either of these protections.

Low Refrigerant Cutout - LRTC

The minimum leaving water temperature cutout is set 
at 2.2°C and the Low Refrigerant Temperature cutout is 
set at 0°C.

CAUTION! 

1. Additional glycol beyond the recommendations will 

adversely affect unit performance. The unit efficiency 
will be reduced and the saturated evaporator 
temperature will be reduced. For some operating 
conditions this effect can be significant.

2. If additional glycol is used, then use the actual % glycol 

to establish the low refrigerant cutout set point.

3. With glycol application, ensure that there is no 

fluctuation of brine flow versus Order Write Up 
value, as a reduction of flow will adversely affect unit 
performance and behaviour.
