 RECEIVING THE CHILLER
Inspect the chiller. Check for concealed damage that may have occurred during
shipment. Look for dents, scratches, loose assemblies, evidence of oil, etc. Damage
evident upon receipt should be noted on the freight bill. Damage should be brought to
the attention of the delivering carrier - NOT to us within 15 days of delivery. Save the
carton and packing material and request an inspection. Then file a claim with the
delivering carrier.
We cannot accept responsibility for freight damages; however, we will assist you
in any way possible.

HANDLING THE CHILLER

If it is necessary to place the chiller in a horizontal position after unpacking, be
certain it is placed in an upright vertical or operate chiller while it is horizontal or on
its side, back or front. The refrigeration compressor filled with lubricating oil and
refrigerant. This also voids the warranty.

check the following article notes. If they are not normative, please take effective
measures to solve them prior to operating the unit.

●The vendor shall be entrusted with the installation work.

Installation shall be done with the technical guidance of the manufacturer. Poor
installation will cause such disasters as electric leakage, electric shock and etc.

●Installation shall be completed as specified in the specification.

Such accidents as leakage, electric shock and fire may be brought about due to
nonstandard installation.

●The foundation for installation of unit must be of adequate bearing capability.

Should the installation foundation not be firm, the subsidence of unit or personal
injury may take place.

●electric installation

In electric installation there should be special line, which shall be in the charge of the
special electricians. Shortage of power supply in line or wrong power supply shall
give rise to such accidents as electric shock and fire.

●The standard cable and wire shall be used in line connection, and the firmness of
each joint be guaranteed.

High temperature and fire disaster may arise out of loose connection of wire and joint.

●It is the professional’s duty to install the auxiliary equipment.

The auxiliary equipment shall be the specific product. Wrong choice of such a product
is easy to cause electric shock and fire.

7
●Installation of the unit at the place for possible leakage of inflammable gas is
prohibited.

In case of leakage of inflammable gas and assemblage around the unit the fire will
possibly happen.

●The leakage breaker shall be set and installed in accordance with the technical
standard of electric equipment and standards of indoor wiring.

Any wrong installation may lead to electric shock.

●The smoothness of sewerage shall be guaranteed at the position for installation of

equipment.

The inconsistent erection of sewerage may cause uneasy drainage so as to damp

equipment and device.

●The chilled water used in the unit shall comply with the water quality standards.

In addition to damages to the performance and service life of the unit, the
deterioration of water quality may give rise to water leak.

●It is forbidden to press the electromagnetic contactor with fingers so as to start up

the compressor, which is one of the reasons for electric shock or fire.

●Application of refrigerant or refrigeration oil of wrong types is put under taboo,

otherwise fire or explosion and other accidents may arise therefrom.

●The casing of the unit shall be grounded.

The earth wire can’t be connected with gas pipe, water pipe, lightning arrester. Wrong
methods of grounding shall produce electric shock.

●Installation of the unit in the bad environment is prohibited.

The cooling-water unit can’t be installed in the areas adjacent to hot spring, coast or
full of oil, because the corrosion of the unit arising from these natural elements shall
cause electric shock or fire.

●Touching the high-temperature part of compressor and refrigerant pipeline is not

allowed, otherwise the scald shall find you.

●The power wires can’ be laid in the unit bay for fear of fire disaster.

8
2.Operation Precautions

●In case of abnormality in operation of the unit (such as scorch smell) please have
power cut and contact the distributor immediately.

Continuous operation in such a case shall result in equipment breakdown, electric

shock or fire.

●Use of any refrigerant but water is not allowed, or fire or explosion shall arise.

●No controlling the operation and stoppage of the unit directly with power switch or
brake, otherwise such an operation shall give rise to electric shock or fire.

●Effective actions shall be taken against leakage of refrigerant.

The cooling-water unit being installed in the room of mechanical equipment, the
practical measures shall be taken against leakage of refrigerant. In case of leakage of
secondary refrigerant beyond the limit of concentration the anoxia accident shall find
the people.

●The unit can’t be used for other purposes out of the design range. This unit is not
applicable to storage of food, animals and plants, precision instruments, arts and etc.,
or these articles shall deteriorate in quality.

The replacement of fuse by electric wire shall endanger equipment or cause fire.

●No pressing the electromagnetic contactor with fingers to start up the compressor for
fear of electric shock or fire.

●The unit can’t be started up when the door of control box is opened, for fear of
electric shock or fire.

●It is absolutely disallowed to operate the unit with wet hands because such an action
is one of the reasons for electric shock.

●Emplacement of chilled-water unit near the inflammable gas is forbidden because

such a gas is easy to catch fire.

9
●Force startup of the unit by emergency apparatus of short circuit is prohibited, which
shall possibly result in such aftermaths as fire and explosion.

●No changing the set of protective device.

Incontrollable protective device shall bring about fire disaster.

●Placement of liquid vessel (such as vase) on the machine body is not allowed.

Provided that the liquid spills and flows into the unit, it shall damage the electrical
device so as to cause electric shock.

●The unit shall be shut down and the power cut off for cleaning, for fear of accidental
injury.

●It is a must to release the remained water completely in case of long disuse of the
unit.

In the period for long disuse of the unit the water pipe shall be filled with
non-freezing solution or the remained water discharged completely, or it shall bring
about the leakage of water pipe.

●Placement and hanging of any objects over the unit is prohibited.

Dumping or falling of objects may cause accidental injury.

●Inspection shall be given to the firmness of the foundation after the unit works for a
period.

●Washing the unit with water is forbidden, for fear of electric shock.

●The chilled water and cooling water must fulfill the requirements of water quality.
