 All materials will be approved and material inspection will completed in advance before installation.

Installation of Water Cooled Chillers and Accessories

 Prepare all the materials and safety precaution prior for installation.

(TECH-MS-M09 Rev.00) Page 5/8

Installation Water Cooled Chillers
 Method Statement

 Close coordination with the safety manager for the safety of unloading the of the material at site.
 Check the type, required capacity, pressure & temperature rating of the pump to be installed is
same as indicated in the approved material submittal.
 Examine the area for the foundation for installation tolerances and clearances required for
periodic service as mentioned in the project specification.
 The factory assembled chillers comprises of evaporator, condenser, compressor, expansion
valve, microprocessor control center and interconnecting piping.
 After receiving the chiller on site, examine the concrete base, coordinate its size with actual size
of chiller. It should be 100 mm larger in all directions than overall dimensions of chiller.
 Examine the installation location for easy installation as well tolerances and clearances after
installation for periodic services as specified in the contract specification.
 Mark the location of housed spring as per construction drawings.
 Place the housed spring of approved quality and brand, on the base at marked position, before
fixing springs fill the place with neoprene rubber.
 Water cooled chiller with packing will be off loaded from the transportation with the help of
mobile crane on the I-Beam pre fabricated platform adjacent to ground floor level outside
building at G/L.
 When lifting by crane, wire ropes slings will be secured with lifting eye available on the top of the
chiller. The attaching rope must be rated for the load.
 After removing packing, manually transport the chillers to ground floor towards assigned plinth
and finally place the chiller on the pre-installed springs.
 Check the level of chiller by using spirit level and adjust the unit on the spring.
 After verifying the correct installation of chiller, connect the condenser & chilled water pipe with
condenser & evaporating unit respectively as per construction drawing.
 Supports will be provided to hang the connected pipes, to avoid the load on chiller.
 Insulate the evaporating unit and compressor piping with approved rubber insulation as per
specification.
 Connect the refrigerant recovery unit at the bottom of evaporating and condensing part of chiller
through welded stain steel pipes. While connecting, use isolating valves and pressure gauges.
 Install field wiring, controls, distribution board and connect these with chiller, tighten connections
and terminal as per the recommended torque.
 Install thermometers, pressure gauges, flow switch and valve of approved brand as per the
approved construction drawings. Provide additional support to pipes connecting expansion
valves.
 After completing the installation of chillers, remove construction debris and leave the SITE in a
clean and tidy manner.
