Preface
Since its founding in 1910, Hitachi has been providing people with colorful life, and enterprises and public
institutions with reliable, safe, high valued-added products and services through development of superior, original
technology and products.
In 1932, Hitachi started making its first centrifugal chillers, achieving remarkable performance and rich experiences
of more than 80 years. Early in 1993, Hitachi introduced the centrifugal chillers featuring environmentally friendly
HFC-134a refrigerant having an ozone depletion potential of zero in order to protect our earth and achieve social
sustainability. Since its launching, Hitachi centrifuges have been winning trusts from customers around the world,
providing now more than 6,000 units for our clients in total.
In 2006, Air-Conditioning & Refrigerating Products (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd introduced the whole series of products
drawings and production technology of Japanese Hitachi centrifugal chillers and launched three series of products
HC-F-GSG-S, HC-F-GXG-S and HC-F-GXG-S using environmentally friendly HFC-134a refrigerant, indicating a
start for producing Hitachi centrifugal chillers in China.
The technical specification summarizes various data of two series of products for your reference during product
design and type selection.

Features of Hitachi Centrifugal Chillers


☆ 1 Contribution to environmental protection.
(1) Use of HFC-134a refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential of zero
(2) Global Warming Prevention.
Sun  Thanks to 2-stage compressor, economizer and
Ordinary ultraviolet rays subcooling cycle, Hitachi attains the highest
Harmful ultraviolet rays level of efficiency in the industry, and achieves
energy saving, making contribution to CO2
Ozonosphere
emission reduction.
Ozone layer Chlorofluorocarbons, etc
destruction
(ozone hole)  Using high pressure HFC134a refrigerant
Earth surface assures purging is unnecessary because internal
pressure of chillers is higher than atmospheric
pressure during operation and shutdown. The
loss of refrigerant to air is also eliminated.

☆ 2 Our rich experiences in design and R&D and quality-oriented concept make Hitachi centrifugal chillers
become a leader in the industry!
1st stage impeller 2nd stage impeller
(1) Hitachi High-Efficiency Centrifugal Compressor

 3 dimensional high-efficiency 2-stage impeller


The impeller with three-dimensional curved blades, which is
low in internal flow loss, is employed to realize with
efficiency in a wide operating range. The impeller is made of
high hardness alloyed metal and manufactured by vacuum
precision casting to give it ideal streamline shape.

Leaflet
 Vaned diffuser
For the diffuser, which is used to convert the
velocity of refrigerant gas accelerated by the
impeller into static pressure, vanes of small
chord-pitch ratio and a high pressure recovery ratio
were developed by computer design to realize high
efficiency. The ideal diffuser shape, which is
implemented by NC machines, realizes stable
operation in a wide range from high to low load
conditions.

 Low specific speed compressor enables the use of low-loss bearing structure
Due to the employed 2-stage compression system, the speed of the compressor can be lowered, which results in
reducing bearing loss.

(2) High-Efficiency Refrigerating Cycle


Employing 2-stage compression system, economizer and subcooling cycle ensures that refrigerant gas from 1st
stage compression system is cooled resulting in reduced motor power. Additionally, refrigerating capacity per
unit is increased through evaporation of refrigerant that flows in economizer and increased subcooling capacity
of a subcooler which is a compact cooler built into the condenser. As a result, 1st impeller gas transmission
volume is reduced, that is, power of compressor is reduced, thus achieving high efficiency.

(3) High-Performance Heat Exchanger


The high-performance heat exchanger tube, which is Compressor

☆3 Stability
(1) Adopting strict criteria specified in JIS on partial load and 3D 2-stage impeller enable stable operation even at
low cooling load or high cooling water temperature which prevents occurrence of surge, ensuring high
reliability of chillers.

(2) Chillers are equipped with surge protection device to ensure chillers will not be damaged under abnormal
situations.
(3) More than 80 years of rich experiences and continuous improvement of powerful control systems ensure
reliable operation of chillers.

☆4 Wider Operating and Application Range


(1) Stable operation continues even when cooling water temperature rises in hot summer and condenser pressure
rises due to proceeding tube fouling; stable operation continues even cooling water inlet temperature is higher
than rated point 32℃up to 34℃.
(2) Stable operation continues even when cooling water inlet temperature reaches as low as 12℃, especially
applicable to operations throughout the year, achieving a higher energy saving effect.
(3) Continuous capacity control in the range of 100%~20% is allowed without using hot gas bypass valve
(optional: 100%~10%)

☆5 10.4 inch color touch panel, displayed in Chinese (English and Japanese are available), is easy to
operate.
 Control center is fully composed of 10.4 inch color LCD
touch panel screens with a tidy and clear look.
 Colorful touch panel screen increases convenience of
identification; and makes operations easy and fast.
 Display simple process and various operating data of chillers
 Control various settings and conditions of chillers.
 Set up 3 level access control based on different requirements

4. Characteristics Data
4.1 Control Characteristic
4.1.1 Capacity control characteristic
(a) Partial load characteristic
Centrifugal chillers’ capacity control is achieved by adjusting the opening degree of inlet vane which is built
in the inlet of compressor to control refrigerant cycling volume, ensuring that chilled water outlet
temperature is within the scope of settings.
With the temperature sensor sit at chilled water outlet and high performance micro control panel, continuous
and stable capacity control can be achieved by inlet vane at the range of 100%-approx. 20% even when the
unit operates with low temperature cooling water in winter. (①area)
In winter where external air temperature is low, the maximum cooling capacity is increased due to the low
temperature of cooling water, thus ensuring smooth operation. (②area)
In hot summer, stable operation continues even when condenser pressure rises due to high temperature of
cooling water and heat transfer tube fouling by simply adjusting air suction valve in an adequate manner.
(③area)
The relationship between capacity control range and required power is shown as below:

4.1.2 Temperature Control Characteristic


(a) Temperature characteristics
Load change of centrifugal chillers is caused by the change of chilled water inlet temperature when chilled
water flow rate is constant. Chilled water outlet temperature remains unchanged by means of temperature
regulating device. See Figure 4.3.

(b) Accompanying Characteristic When Starting

chilled water outlet and inlet temperatures becoming stable depends on overall heat capacity of cooling water
system and capacity of chillers.

4.2 Motor characteristic
4.2.1 Starting current characteristic
The main motor of closed centrifugal chillers is squirrel cage asynchronous type. Generally, it is started with
reduced voltage. See Figure 4.1 for various starting methods and their characteristics.
Starting methods are classified by power voltage and capacity. See Figure 4.5~4.7 for starting currents of common
starting methods
Starting current depends on chilled water temperature before start. The higher the temperature of cooling water,
the greater the transient current when start. Error from unit itself should be considered when determining power
capacity, taking over 130% of values shown in Figure 4.5~4.7.

5. Operation Control
5.1 Operating control mode
Generally, the operation of Hitachi centrifugal chillers is controlled via electric cabinet to achieve fully
automatic operation.
(a) Start
Press START button on electric cabinet to activate interlocked operation of oil pump and chilled water
pump. At the same time, check for proper temperature of chilled water and for restart restriction. Then
cooling water pump is activated for interlocked operation. After 20 seconds when oil pressure is stable,
all interlocks have been established. Main contactor starts working. Main motor is started with reduced
voltage through starter panel. After a period of time, the reduced voltage will be switched to full voltage
automatically, getting the main motor to run up to full speed. At this point, with temperature regulating
and load limit loops, capacity control valve (hereinafter referred to as valve) will be opened/closed
automatically to achieve proper operation and make chilled water temperature constant.
(b) Stop
Press STOP button on electric cabinet and close the valve to the minimum degree of opening to stop
chillers and cooling water pump. At the same time, the valve and the electric secondary suction butterfly
valve are closed automatically. Approx. 1 minute later (delay operation), chilled water pump stops.
Approx. 4 minutes (delay operation) later, oil pump stops automatically.
(c) Automatic temperature regulating device (featuring load limit)
Automatic temperature regulating device, containing load limit loop, enables temperature and load limit
control by adopting loop equipped with integral and derivative control developed by Hitachi. Load limit
refers to limitation of valve opening (only for opening restriction) and secondary mandatory control of
valve closing. Thanks to this function, stable operation continues even when condenser pressure rises
due to high temperature of cooling water and heat transfer tube fouling in summer. Operation can be
secure since shutdown due to failure is minimized. (Equipped with alarm reminding)
(d) Automatic Start/Stop
Automatic start/stop is activated after detection signal of chilled water outlet temperature is processed
by electric cabinet. Under low load operation beyond the minimum limit of capacity control, automatic
start/stop will be activated, resulting in temporary shutdown of chillers. Chillers will be restarted
automatically after 15 minutes when load recovers.
(e) Shutdown due to failure
The action of protection switch triggers warning. Meanwhile, failure causes will be displayed on electric
cabinet screen. Chillers stop running.
(f) Oil heater
Oil heater is activated automatically when chillers stop to keep proper oil temperature so that oil mist
will not occur when restarting. (Therefore, control circuit should not be de-energized even when chillers
stop).
(g) Emergency stop
Chillers are switched off instantly when the emergency stop button is pressed. Then the valve is closed
automatically. Approx. 4 minutes later, oil pump stops automatically.

7.4 Main Optional Function


7.4.1 Cooling Capacity Lower Limit 10% (Optional)
Hitachi centrifugal chillers can control cooling capacity at approx. 20% of rated point by adjusting control
valve on capacity control device even when cooling water temperature is low. However, compressor surge
may occur. Under such circumstances, valve opening degree must not be minimized. If capacity is
intended to be controlled below 20%, hot gas bypass valve may be installed as below. The valve enables
capacity control range to reach 100%-10%.

39 Z00301524-2016-A
7.4.2 High Temperature Differential Technology (Optional)
High temperature differential is employed to reduce pump power (chilled water inlet /outlet temperature is
15℃/7℃; the minimum cooling water inlet temperature can be 12℃). Since flow rate of water pump is
reduced, the pump power is lowered. Thus, size of piping can be and cost is saved.

7.4.3 Variable Flow Rate Control of Chilled Water/Cooling Water (Optional)


Employing special water suspension relay ensures variable flow rate control of chilled water and cooling
water in the range of 100%~50%.
(1) Variable Frequency Control Condition:

Item Content Remarks


Acceleration 10 minutes If flow rate changes greatly (increase/reduce), and
time (50%-100%) chillers’ capacity control vane fails to be opened or closed
in a timely manner, low temperature of chilled water
Deceleration 10 minutes triggers warning, resulting in shutdown of chillers due to
time (100%-50%) failure. Therefore, extreme care must be exercised to
avoid inadequate accelerated time and decelerated time.
Rated flow: About 30
Chilled water
minutes Start with 100% flow rate when startup to prevent
Rated flow: About 30 overcooling.
Cooling water
minutes
When signal is Generally, adjust the valve back to its rated opening
Signal interrupted, rated flow degree when variable flow rate signal interrupts or suffers
interrupted rate must be followed short-circuit. For such case, rated flow rate of chilled
for operation. water and cooling water must be applied.

(2) Variable Flow Rate Control Condition


1) As flow rate of cooling water reduces, the pressure head of compressor will increase, giving a
possibility to occur compressor surge. Thus, variable flow rate of cooling water should be
adjusted when cooling water inlet temperature is 27℃.
2) When chilled water and cooling water need to be controlled with variable flow rate, exercise
care not to mix up their flow rate ratio. Conduct variable frequency control for chilled water
pump and cooling water pump to ensure flow rate of chilled water equals or less than cooling
water.
(3) As flow rate of cooling water reduces, cooling water circulated in heat transfer tube will become
slower, causing fouling or scale to build up inside tube wall. As a result, efficiency may be harmed.
Therefore, water quality should be controlled properly as a part of daily maintenance procedure.
Copper tubes should be cleaned on a regularly basis.

7.4.4 Heat Recovery System (Expanded Function)


Heat recovery system is designed to increase energy utilization efficiency of the whole system by
recovering part or whole heat emission generated during refrigeration for use. Unlike hot pump units
which aim for heating, heat recovery system utilizes by product-heat emission generated during
refrigeration to produce free hot water while cooling load is met, reducing heat emission of cooling tower
to avoid deterioration of urban “heat island effect”. Hitachi heat recovery centrifugal chillers are designed
with dual condensers, ensuring recovery of part or whole waste heat. See below diagram of the system:

7.4.5 Hot Pump Application (Expanded Function)


As the global economy continuously grows, energy and environmental issues are becoming increasingly
serious. Hot pump application of Hitachi centrifugal chillers employs low temperature hot source and
waste heat resource expanding further energy utilization efficiency in line with sustainable development
strategy guidance, making contribution to energy conservation and environmental protection.

7.4.6 Cool Storage System (Expanded Function)
Taking advantage of difference between on-peak and off-peak power prices, night cool storage and
daytime cooling are achieved by means of switchover of cool storage condition and air conditioning
condition. As a result, on-peak power consumption is reduced while cooling requirement is met ensuring
cost-effective operating.
(1) This system applies to the area where difference between on-peak and off-peak power prices is
great.
(2) “Night cool storage and daytime cooling” not only can meet cooling requirement but also can
balance on-peak and off-peak power consumptions in buildings, enabling users to reduce installed
capacity of air conditioners.

7.4.7 VFD System (Expanded Function)


VFD centrifuge developed newly by Hitachi is designed to achieve significant energy-saving operations
via control even in autumn, winter and spring that ambient air temperature is low. Besides, partial load
efficiency can be increased greatly even when chillers operate with low temperature of cooling water.
Additionally, flexible combination of compressor and heat exchangers make it possible for us to provide
customers with higher performance type of chillers.
Features of VFD Centrifuges
(1) Add refrigeration oil output temperature control
When compressor’s speed is too low, heat generates by bearing friction will be reduced. Thus,
adopting oil supply temperature control for bearing under different speed ensures adequate oil
temperature.
(2) Add「Power-Saving」Mode of Operation
Power consumption of centrifuge can be controlled within the range of settings made on touch panel
screen of electric cabinet. (However, chilled water outlet temperature will be higher than nominal
temperature), as chilled water outlet temperature rises and pressure head reduces, units’ rpm will be
controlled to maintain an optimal state. Thus, more efficient operations can be achieved via control
within the range of electrical settings. In addition, settings can be made via remote control analog
signal.
Comparing to the conventional load control method (by current), control of power consumption can
meet requirements of customers.
(3) Add「Energy-Saving」Mode of Operation
As refrigeration load is lowered in winter and at the time of season transition, if chilled water outlet
temperature is required to be higher than rated temperature, user may switch chilled water outlet
temperature control to inlet temperature control via「Energy-Saving」Mode of Operation setup so that
centrifuge operating efficiency is increased.
(4) Add energy-saving variable control of cooling water flow rate
For the purpose of variable flow rate control of cooling water, calculate the reduced power
consumption of cooling water pump and the accompanied increased power consumption of chiller.
Based on the minimum total power consumption (centrifuge + cooling water pump), energy-saving
operation is achieved via outputting flow rate signal to cooling water pump.

(3) Select a low-dust area (Dust also may cause electrical fault).
(4) Select a place where is convenient for inspection and maintenance, paying attention to lighting.
(5) Keep sufficient space for pulling tubes, disassembling the water chamber, and inspection & maintenance.
(6) To facilitate the lifting up/down of equipment, provide lifting hooks on the ceiling or keep a sufficient room
height for setting a lifting pole.
(7) Provide sufficient drainage.
(8) Pay attention to avoid direct sunbathing of sunray.
(8) Make sure water source and receptacles for maintenance work are in place.
(10) Keep sufficient maintenance space at the entrance for carrying equipment out.

9.2 Precautions for Chillers Operation


9.2.1 Winter Operations
The following issues may occur when chiller is started in winter due to low temperature of cooling water.
(a) The small pressure difference between evaporator and condenser (called low pressure head operation) will
reduce the cooling efficiency of main motor and lubricant in oil cooler.
(b) The small pressure difference between condenser and evaporator leads to insufficient refrigerant volume
flowing into evaporator. Chiller may trip and stop when starting because evaporator pressure is too low.

9.2.3 Other precautions


(a) Treatment of Chillers When Long Time Shutdown
If chiller is idle for a long time, the residual water trapped in heat transfer tube may generate
bacteria depending on environmental and water quality conditions and has high potential to corrode
heat transfer tube. Therefore, in the event that chiller is stopped more than 15 days, the drainage hole
at the bottom of condenser and evaporator should be opened to discharge residual water ensuring
that no water is trapped in. Particularly low air temperature may make water trapped in tube freeze,
resulting in broken heat transfer tube. Therefore, water must be drained thoroughly to prevent tube
ruptures by freezing during winter months.
(b) Using Operating Unit and Spare Unit Alternatively
When a unit is equipped with a spare one, operate these two alternatively to average their service
life.
(c) Under long time power outrage or power failure, oil must be vacuumed out. (Depending on the time
taken for oil reduced from 55℃ to 35℃ of failure status. The time is not fixed due to different
outdoor air temperatures. For example, in winter, for cold regions, it will take around 2~3 hours to
reduce to 35℃ from 55℃). Otherwise, oil will be exhausted completely.

9.3 Low Load Operation


9.3.1 Hot Gas Bypass Control
Cooling capacity control range of GSG-S, GXG-S and GFG-S centrifugal chillers is rated as approx.
100%~20%. If greater capacity control range is required, hot gas bypass valve may be installed as
described in 7.4.1. (Optional purchasing)

9.4.2 Earthquake Resistance


Earthquake-resistant foundation strength is expressed by seismic coefficient. The standard horizontal
acceleration is 0.6G, vertical acceleration is 0.3G. The seismic coefficient above standard is optional.

9.5 Variable Flow Rate Control (Optional)


The followings should be cared for variable flow rate control of chilled and cooling water.

9.5.1 Variable Flow Rate Control of Cooling Water


Precautions are indicated below when reducing flow rate of cooling water via variable flow rate control.
(a) Efficiency of heat transfer tube of condenser may reduce.
When flow rate is lowered, cooling water in heat transfer tube may flow slowly. Consequently, scale
is possible to build up inside tube wall and harm the efficiency of condenser. As a result, the
efficiency of chiller will be reduced.
(b) Compressor surge may occur.
When the amount of cooling water is reduced at a certain opening degree of inlet vane, the pressure
head of compressor will rise continuously, giving a possibility to occur compressor surge. Therefore,
please reduce the flow rate when cooling water inlet temperature is very low to prevent compressor
surge.
(c) Pressure loss at water side increases.
Pressure loss generated by variable flow rate control is greater than that of fixed flow rate control.
The value which triggers water suspension relay to trip is determined according to the lower limit
value of variable flow rate. The pressure difference lower limit value of relay actuation is about
2mAq. This is shown in the following table:
Water Pressure Loss of Chillers (using low pressure difference type water suspension relay)
At 50% flow rate At 100% flow rate
Cold water side
2.0 10.0
frictional head loss (mAq)
Side of cooling water
2.0 10.0
frictional head loss (mAq)

(d) Variable flow rate operation should be handled slowly.


The sudden decrease in amount of cooling water and excessive rise of condenser pressure will trigger
safety device switch to trip. As a result, chiller trips and stops.
Flow rate should be changed at 2 minutes or more per 10%.
Given full consideration of the above precautions, if necessary, when cooling water inlet temperature
is low, it is feasible for variable flow rate being controlled within the range of ca. 100%~50%.
46 Z0031524-2016-A
9.5.2 Variable Flow Rate Control of Chilled Water
The following precautions are applicable to flow rate reduction by means of variable flow rate control of
chilled and cooling water.
(a) Pressure loss increases. See precautions of variable flow rate of cooling water for the same.
(b) Variable flow rate operation should be handled slowly.
If flow rate changes greatly, and air suction valve fails to be opened or closed in a timely manner,
evaporator’s pressure will decrease sharply which will trigger safety device switch to trip. As a result,
chiller trips and stops.
Flow rate should be changed at 2 minutes or more per 10%.
It is possible for variable flow rate of chilled water being controlled within the range of ca. 100%~50%

9.6 Group Control (Optional)


Group control signal line is out of our scope of supply and should be provided by equipment construction
company. However, standard chillers are equipped with terminals receiving start/stop signals.

10. Safety Precautions on Construction Work


10.1 Carrying-In Work
(1) Conduct inspection when the chiller arrives on site: check for completeness of parts according to
delivery specifications, along with checking for chiller’s appearance and damage of accessories.
(2) Lifting: in order to lift chillers, install lifting equipment connector in tube sheet mounting hole and
adjust the length of steel rope to ensure even load and exercise care not to damage assembling parts.
a) Be sure to keep balance when lifting chillers where possible.
b) The heavier part of chillers is easy to be damaged during lifting and handling.
c) Collision suffered by chillers is one of the reasons making metal parts damage and shaft bend
and deformation which may shorten the service life of chillers. Therefore, extreme care must be
exercised during installation and operation of chillers to avoid the possibility of collision.
d) Foundation work should be cared to avoid turnover of chillers during pulling.
(3) Carrying-in in knockdown form
a) Compressor Carrying-in
If the maximum height is restricted, generally disassemble compressor before moving in. Upon
completion of the factory tests, dismantle the compressor. Use cover to seal compressor’s flange
and flange of heat exchanger shell. Meanwhile, nitrogen should be charged before delivery.
After the unit is moved in, reassemble the compressor to the heat exchanger shell and conduct
leakage test.
b) Carrying in by means of vertical lifting and horizontal pulling
If the path or underground entrance is too narrow for the unit to be moved in, chillers may be
disassembled into three parts: compressor, heat exchanger and electric cabinet. Carry them in by
means of vertical lifting and horizontal pulling. Under such circumstances, lifting equipment
should be installed at the place where the unit needs to be installed before delivery. In addition,
in spite of the bearing of compressor is designed to withstand fully the weight of rotor, care
must be taken to avoid improper collisions when moving in to protect rotating machines from
damage such as rotor.
When the unit is moved in, reassemble electric cabinet in accordance with compressor
breakdown procedure and perform wiring.

10.3 Water Piping Work


See dimensional outline drawing for chilled and cooling water piping.
(Notice)
(1) Chilled and cooling water piping shall be supported by pipe supports and carefully laid so that no strong
force will act on the evaporator or the condenser.
(2) Be sure to install a 10-mesh strainer on the inlet piping of chilled and cooling water.
(3) Chilled and cooling water piping shall be planned such that their flow is controlled on the chiller outlet side.
48 Z0031524-2016-A
(4) The system shall be planned so that transient pressure pulsation, which causes the water suspension relay to
malfunction, wont' occur.

10.4 Electrical Wiring Work


(1) Electric wiring
Perform wiring for each electrical equipment and machine according to wiring diagram.

Wiring from starter panel to motor power, and wiring from starter
panel to electric cabinet operation should be performed by user.

11. Information
11.1 Refrigerant Properties
The refrigerant, HFC134a, used for centrifugal chillers has the following properties.
① Gas under ambient temperature and pressure.
② No odour
③ Non-flammable; Explosion absolutely will not occur when mixing it with air in any way.
④ The liquefied refrigerant is clear colorless. It is heavier than water and will not solute with water. Water flows
on the surface of the refrigerant.
⑤ Metals do not corrode when they are exposed to purified liquid or vapor of refrigerant. However, metals,
especially ordinary steels may be corroded when they are exposed to refrigerant containing air, since air
contains water.

49 Z00301524-2016-A
⑥ Regardless of any ratio between the refrigerant and the mineral lubricant, the solubility will be reduced.
Therefore, synthetic oil (polyester oil) which is compatible with HFC 134a is recommended.
⑦ It is harmless to human being and animals. (however, ventilation system should be efficient)
⑧ Vapor refrigerant is 5.1 times heavier than air. Thus, when disassembling chillers, the gas emitted will be
attached onto the ground.

11.2. Lubricant
The lubricant selected to be used for chillers must meet very strict criteria. Along with its heat stability and
high lubrication efficiency, such lubricant should be insulated and compatible. The lubricant should be
synthetic oil which is compatible with HFC134a. Please contact us for recharge of lubricant.
Synthetic oil (grease oil) is featured with high moisture absorption. Air must not be mixed up during
recharge or storage of lubricant. Used lubricant should be discarded.

11.4 Water Quality Control


Since corrosion of evaporator or condenser tubes of the centrifugal chillers depends on the quality of water
used, sufficient control is recommended regarding the quality of source of water that is used as chilled or
cooling water. If copper tube is seriously contaminated or corroded after one year depending on different
water quality, copper tube should be replaced. Since copper tube is sensitive to water quality, copper tube
should be inspected in terms of contamination, damage and corrosion while controlling water quality to
prevent copper tube from damage.
For cooling water quality requirements, Hitachi centrifugal chillers refer to cooling water quality specified
in GB/T 18430.1-2007 as its design condition. Cooling water quality should be assured at any time within
the required range by implementing water quality control work seriously.
