STRUCTURE
MULTISTACK Air Cooled Chillers are designed and constructed under the modular technolo-
gy patent. A chiller bank consists of multiple individual chiller modules connected in parallel
to operate as a single machine, with cooling or heating capacity to match the load demand
by varying the number of operating modules. The chiller modules start from a small half
module, and expandable to fifteen full modules for SRA131 and ten for SRA290, giving you
full flexibility to increase the capacity as your needs increase.
Each full module consists of two tandem scroll compressor sets (4 compressors), evaporator,
condenser, and sophisticated control and protection equipment. Each module operates as
a completely independent refrigeration circuit, and varying to the total load demand. The
controller changes the chiller’s capacity by either controlling the number of modules in
operation or by adjusting the capacity of the last start up compressor.
The Multistack Air Cooled line-up is available in cooling-only version or heat pump version for dual operation.
ADD-ON FLEXIBILITY
Each module in the Multistack system delivers both, cooling and heat-
ing. As many as 10 full modules can be connected together as a chiller
bank. Multistack chillers has inbuilt flexibility which is useful in tenancy
changes and strata title applications.

SAFE AND RELIABLE
Every module works as an independent refrigeration circuit, with adjacent modules operating independently. In the
event of a malfunction in the system, the computer selects the next available standby module to provide back up. One
failed module will not disrupt the other chillers or system, giving you total peace of mind.
UNPARALLELED RELIABILITY
Every Multistack slave module is identical to each other, so in the event of a malfunction in the system, the computer
automatically selects the next available standby circuit to provide back up. For critical air conditioning and industrial
process cooling a Multistack modular chiller inherently provides economical standby capacity and unparalleled de-
pendability.

EXCLUSIVE DEFROSTING TECHNOLOGY
The chiller not only adapts to the heat pump cycle (which is specifically designed to improve heat pump operational
performance and obtaining a faster defrosting cycle), but also when an even amount of frost build-up is present; it will
thaw it completely in a very short time. Defrosting cycle is only carried out when the demand for defrosting is present
in each module, which means the modules that are frosted will defrost, while the others remain in operation, giving
you a reliable and fully uninterrupted system.
This exclusive defrosting technology can ensure complete defrosting even in the harshest of environments, ensuring
you with excellent heating performance, and a comfortable environment all year round.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Multistack Chillers are friendly to the environmen and currently running on the non-toxic R22 refrigerant (approved
under the Montral Protocol, and for sale until 2030) as standard, along with the R407c and R134a as optional. It is also
pleasing to the ears, running quietly even at 100% capacity.

MV6 Control
The MV6 computer control monitors the chiller’s operation and schedules the on and off of each compressor
and capacity control stages with respect to the change in load demand. The computer continuously and compre-
hensively monitors the total operation of all modules in the chiller bank. It will also shut down individual module
or the entire bank in the event that a fault occurs. A maximum of 32 refrigeration circuits can be monitored at
one time.
___% demand loading ___chilled water leaving temperature ___temperature integrating time
___lead compressor
COMPRESSOR SEQUENCE
The MV6 controller accumulates the running hours of each compressor and hence establishes working se-
quence. A standby compressor with the least working hours will be activated during loading. The same goes for
a compressor with the most working hours will be stopped during unloading. This ensures each compressor in
the system has an even usage, which will save you time and money in the long run for maintenance.
FAULT REVIEW
The controller will record and display the last 60 faults that occurred, giving detailed information such as time,
date, location, cause, current status, as well as the performance data collected at the moment each fault oc-
curred.
4
LOAD PROFILE
The controller records all working hours of the chiller and compressor and records it accordingly in 10%
brackets from 0% - 100%, giving you detailed information for which percentage the chiller is running mostly.
PASSWORD
A two level password protection is included (for both customer and service personnel) to give you piece of
mind. For example the service password will give you full access to settings and variables, but the user pass-
word will only enable the user see but not change settings and variables.
STANDBY CONTROL
Each module can be set for three modes: auto/ off/ independent operation via the slave outstation
card installed in the module. Default setting is “auto”, with “off” mode for when maintenance is re-
quired and “independent” mode (where the module is controlled by its own slave outstation card and
operates independently from the controller), is usually for commissioning or emergency operation.

Chiller Selection
Select air-cooled chiller according to following conditions:
1. Determine cooling capacity required (kW) (2) Actual water pressure drop
Cooling Capacity 69.5 ÷ 82.8 = 84%
= CHWF × 4.187 ×(ECHW - LCHW) Use the chart “Pressure Drop Correction Factor for chilled and condenser
= 69.5 × 4.187 ×(12.5-7) water Circuit”, 6 modules of MSRA290H the correction ξ is 0.71 for 84%
= 1600 kW required of water flow.
Heating Capacity
= HWF × 4.187 ×(HWLT - HWET) Use the table « Pressure drop correction factor: k », k=1.04 for the con-
= 61.1 × 4.187 ×(45.0 – 40.0) figuration: 6 modules of MSRA290H
= 1279 kW required
Actual condenser water pressure drop is:
2. From capacity chart above, 55 × 0.71 x 1.04 = 41 kPa
1 module at stated conditions will achieve;
Cooling CAP= 288 kW per MSRA290H module (Contact Multistack if lower flow rate is required.)
Heating CAP= 260.6 kW per MSRA290H module
Chilled Water Pressure Drop for nominal water flow per module is 55kPa

1. Design running current is the steady state current draw at a particular set of conditions, ie ambient and chilled water temperatures.
2. Maximum rated current (MRC) is the maximum expected current draw at transient (pull down) and/or greater than design conditions.
CABLE SIZING
When selecting mains cable size use MRC. Allowances must be made for voltage imbalance, ambient temperature and other conditions in compliance with AS
3000 or local relevant electrical codes.
MAINS TERMINATION
The termination for a full module is at a terminal block located in the back half module electrical housing. For a half only module, termination is at the fuse
holders or circuit breaker located in the electrical housing.
