Safety
2. Safety
2.1 Areas of application

2.1.1 Application
To prevent unintentional application which could injure personnel or damage equipment, the fol-
lowing must be observed:
• The unit must only be used as a liquid refrigeration unit intended for water or brine
cooling.
• The unit must not be installed in areas where the relative humidity (RH) may exceed 85%
(95% if the motor is made for 100% RH).
• The primary side must only be charged with refrigerant R717.
• Johnson Controls Denmark further accept no liability of any kind for damage to compres-
sor unit and plant parts caused by torsional oscillation or the like which is attributable to
built-in VSD solutions initiated by the customer after delivery.
• The secondary side on the evaporator and condenser is only intended for water or brine as
cooling medium. The secondary medium is stated on the P&I diagram. Deviations are only
permitted with a written permission from Johnson Controls Denmark.
• Installation of the chiller in potentially explosive atmospheres must only take place if the
chiller is fitted with approved explosion-proof equipment.
• The compressor must only be used as a refrigeration compressor and within the operating
limits specified in the manual or in a written agreement with Johnson Controls Denmark.
• The compressor must only be used with the number of revolutions per minute, as shown
on the compressor name plate.
The compressor must NOT be used:
• To evacuate the refrigeration plant of air and moisture.
• To put the refrigeration plant under air pressure in view of a pressure testing.
• As an air compressor.
2.1.2 Application of combustion engines

According to EN 378/ISO 5149, no other machinery should be installed in a refrigeration machine
room. Some refrigerant types may, to a certain extent, be absorbed by the fuel in a combustion
engine, and when the contaminated fuel reaches the fuel pumps, the refrigerant will “flash out”
(separate) and react on the increased temperature and pressure by creating acids, which will de-
stroy the pumps. However, check with the local authorities as exemptions to this rule may be
granted.
Warning!
Johnson Controls Denmark is not liable for injuries to personnel or damage to equipment resulting
from using the equipment for other purposes than the ones stated above.

responsible for ensuring that all codes, regulations and industry standards are complied with.
2.3.2 During operation
Warning!
All safety features, disengagement and interlocks must be in place and function correctly before
the equipment is put into operation. Never by-pass or wire around any safety device.
Ventilation
Before operating the unit always check, where relevant, the function of the ventilation system
and refrigerant detectors used in the area where the compressor/unit is located (machine room).
Rotating parts
Warning!
Safety guards, shields, barriers, covers and protective devices must not be removed while the
compressor/unit is operating.
Vibration and noise

During operation, pay attention to the compressor unit process. Excessive vibrations, unusual
sounds, etc. may indicate problems requiring your immediate attention.
Pressure
Danger!
A compressor/unit comprises a pressurised system. Never loosen threaded joints while the sys-
tem is under pressure, and never open pressurised system parts.

011769 en 2020.03 19/56
Safety
Note: Whenever a relief valve/safety valve has been activated, we recommend recalibrating it.
This must be carried out by competent personnel only. See also EN 378 and existing national
legislation.
2.3.3 Cooling water systems
Warning!
The recirculation water system may contain chemicals or biological contaminants, including le-
gionella, which can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. Water systems should only be operated with
an effective biological treatment programme.
2.3.4 Cooling media

Cooling media (brines) often consist of alcohol, glycol and halogenated compounds.
In general, all brines must be considered harmful to nature, and they must be used with caution.
Be very careful when charging or purging a refrigeration plant.
Disposal of brine
The brine must be collected in suitable containers clearly marked with the contents and sent to an
approved hazardous waste disposal site. However, in some cases, if approved by the local author-
ities, brine can be discharged into the sewage system.
2.3.5 Safety during maintenance and service

• Personnel must be competent according to national safety rules and regulations and per-
form the maintenance work according to EN 378.
• Read chapter 2. Safety in this manual before opening the compressor and other parts of
the refrigeration plant. If the switch is not locked, all start buttons must be tagged with
“DO NOT START” tags and an explanation: “Work on unit in progress”.
• Make sure that the motor cannot start up inadvertently. Switch off all electric components
on the compressor/unit before starting the dismantling/servicing process. It is recom-
mended to remove all main fuses.
• Make sure that there is no over-pressure and no refrigerant in the part to be dismantled.
Close all necessary stop valves.
• Use the prescribed tools, and check that they are properly maintained and in good work-
ing condition. In explosion-proof areas, use tools suited for this specific purpose.
• Use only Johnson Controls Denmark original spare parts; other parts may impair the
safety of the compressor/unit.
• Use gloves and protective goggles, and make sure to have a gas mask close at hand.
2.3.6 Power supply
Danger!
• The voltage used in the drive can cause severe electric shock and/or burns and may be le-
thal. Extreme care must be taken at all times when working with or close to the drive. Spe-
cific warnings are given wherever relevant in this manual.
• The drive line is connected to voltage. Be aware of live circuits.
• Pay close attention to the electrical installation and system maintenance to avoid hazards
both during normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunctioning.

20/56 011769 en 2020.03
Safety
• When the cause of the shutdown has been removed, the motor may restart. This can be
dangerous for machines and installations, and it is therefore important that the user takes
adequate precautions against restarting if the motor makes an unscheduled stop.
• System maintenance must always be carried out by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience.
2.3.7 Lubricating oils

Compressor oils include the following oil types:
Code design Oil types

M Mineral oil, naphtenic base
A Synthetic oils based on alkylated aromatics (alkyl-benzene)
AP Synthetic oils blended from alkyl-benzene and poly-alfa-olefin base stocks
S Semi synthetic oils (hydro-treated mineral oil on paraffinic base)
PAO Synthetic oils based on poly-alfa-olefin
POE Synthetic oils based on polyol esters
PAG Synthetic oils based on polyalkylene glycols
See the SABROE oil recommendation for the recommended type of oil.
Warning!
When charging oil, follow the safety instructions given by the oil supplier (MSDS: Material Safety
Data Sheet). Always avoid direct contact with the oil as this may cause skin allergies. Always use
protective equipment, goggles and gloves, when charging oil.
When changing oil on the compressor or draining oil from the vessel of the refrigeration plant, al-
ways collect the used oil in containers marked “waste oil,” and send them to an approved hazard-
ous waste disposal site. It is not recommended to reuse oil.
2.3.8 Refrigerants
Be very careful when dealing with refrigerants. For safe handling, please refer to the safety/data
sheets delivered by the refrigerant supplier.
Warning!
Be aware that large amounts of leaking (or released) refrigerant entail a risk of asphyxiation. If in
direct contact with leaking liquid refrigerant, there is a high risk of injuries caused by frostbite.
2.3.9 Purging a refrigeration plant

Purging of air or other non-condensable gases is required in order to keep high system perform-
ance and avoid corrosion of the equipment, which could endanger the safety of persons and
equipment.
When purging a refrigeration system, make sure to observe the following:
• Refrigerants must not be released into the atmosphere, except CO2, which can be re-
leased slowly into the atmosphere.
• When purging an ammonia system, use an approved air purger. The purged air must pass
through an open container or water for any remaining ammonia (R717) to be absorbed.
The water mixture must be sent to an approved hazardous waste disposal site.
• Halocarbon refrigerants (CFC, HCFC and HFC) cannot be absorbed by water. An approved
air purger must be fitted to the system. This must be checked regularly by use of a leak
detector. All precautionary measures practicable must be taken to prevent and minimise
leakage of refrigerant from refrigeration and air conditioning systems to the atmosphere.

011769 en 2020.03 21/56
Safety
Note: The occurrence of air is usually an indication of poor maintenance or lack of thoroughness
at installation.
Note: Ammonia systems should be purged on a regular basis to avoid atmospheric air and other
non-condensable gases.
2.3.10 F-gas regulation (fluorinated greenhouse gases)

In the European F-gas regulation, No 517/2014, about reduction of harmful gases in the atmos-
phere, the European Parliament (EU) has established guidelines for the regulation of certain fluo-
rinated greenhouse gases. The following is an extract from the guidelines and is relevant for end
users and operators.
Fluorinated refrigerants are included in the category of greenhouse gases and therefore fall under
the F-gas regulation. The table below lists a few of the relevant refrigerants and their respective
GWP (Global Warming Potential) according to the F-gas regulation. The so-called “HFOs” and nat-
ural refrigerants do not fall under the scope of the regulation.
Refrigerant GWP (Global Warming Potential)

R134a 1300
R407C 1650
R404A 3785
R507 3850
Requirements of the F-gas regulation include:

• Bans and limitations
• Labelling
• Leakage test
• Recovery of refrigerant
• Certification of personnel
• Record keeping.
Bans on GWP
R404A/R507A and other refrigerants with a GWP over 2500 are banned from new stationary sys-
tems after 2020. Existing systems can be serviced with reclaimed refrigerant until 2030, provided
that proper-quality refrigerant is available. Read the local regulations.
Labelling
The unit must be fitted with a label (name plate). Refrigerant type, charge in kg and CO2Equiva-
lent (CO2eq) must be stated on the plate.
Leakage test
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the unit is checked for leakages by a competent
person. For units charged with fluorinated greenhouse gases, the following conditions apply de-
pending on type of plant and amount of charge:

22/56 011769 en 2020.03
Safety
• for equipment that contains fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of 5 tonnes of

CO2eq or more, but of less than 50 tonnes of CO2eq: at least every 12 months; or where a
leakage detection system is installed, at least every 24 months
CO2eq or more, but of less than 500 tonnes of CO2eq: at least every six months or, where
a leakage detection system is installed, at least every 12 months
CO2eq or more: at least every three months or, where a leakage detection system is in-
stalled, at least every six months.
The equipment must be checked for leakage within one month after a leak has been repaired to
ensure that the repair has been effective.
Recovery of refrigerant
Operators are responsible for putting in place arrangements for the proper recovery of fluorinated
greenhouse gases by competent personnel to ensure recycling, reclamation or destruction.
Certification of personnel
According to directive 303/2008, it is mandatory for the member states to establish certification
and training programs for personnel involved in leakage inspections and the recovery, recycling,
reclamation and destruction of fluorinated gases.
Record keeping
For all units containing fluorinated greenhouse gases in quantities of more than 5 tonnes of
CO2eq, records must be kept indicating the quantity and type of product, quantities added for re-
charges and the quantity recovered during servicing, maintenance and final disposal. Other rele-
vant information is also requested, such as identification of the servicing company or technician,
as well as dates and results of the checks.
For further information, please see the F-gas regulation in full.

Safety
2.3.11 First aid for accidents with ammonia

(Chemical formula: NH3, refrigerant no.: R717)
General
Ammonia is not a cumulative poison. It has a distinctive, pungent odour that even at very low,
harmless concentrations is detectable by most people.
As ammonia is self-alarming, it serves as its own warning agent so that no person stays voluntar-
ily in hazardous concentrations. Since ammonia is lighter than air, adequate ventilation is the best
means of preventing accumulation.
Experience has shown that ammonia is extremely hard to ignite and under normal conditions a
very stable compound. At extremely high, though limited concentrations, ammonia can form
ignitable mixtures with air and oxygen and should be treated with respect.
Basic rules for first aid

Always call a doctor immediately.
Be prepared: Keep an irrigation bottle available containing a sterile isotonic (0.9%) NaCl-solu-
tion (salt water). A shower or a water tank should be available near all bulk installations with
ammonia.
When applying first aid, the persons assisting must be duly protected to avoid further injuries.
First aid measures

Inhalation: Immediately, move affected personnel into fresh air and loosen clothing restricting
breathing.
Call a doctor/ambulance with oxygen equipment.
Keep the patient still and warmly wrapped in blankets.
Do not in any way attempt to provoke vomiting or to give an unconscious person anything to
drink.
Oxygen may be given to the patient, if needed, but only when authorised by a doctor. If the pa-
tient stops breathing, apply artificial respiration.
Consumption: Not relevant.
Eyes: In case of injuries from liquid splashes or concentrated vapour, immediately rinse with
water (preferably using an eye rinser) and consult a doctor. Continue rinsing until otherwise noti-
fied by a doctor.
If the affected person wears contact lenses, these must be removed before rinsing.
Skin: In case of frostbite from liquid splashes or concentrated vapour, immediately wash with
large quantities of water until the pain stops.
Consult a doctor about actual frostbite.
After washing, apply wet compresses, wetted with a sterile isotonic (0.9%) NaCl-solution (salt
water), to affected areas until medical advice is available.

Safety
2.3.12 Protecting the operator as well as the environment

Industrialisation affects our environment, and it is therefore essential that we do what we can to
minimise the harmful effect on nature.
Many countries have passed legislation in an effort to reduce pollution and preserve the environ-
ment. This legislation applies to all fields of industry, including refrigeration, and must be com-
plied with.
Pay extra attention to the following substances:
• Refrigerants
• Cooling media (brine, etc.)
• Lubricating oils
Refrigerants usually have a natural boiling point considerably below 0°C. This means that liquid
refrigerants can be extremely harmful in contact with skin or eyes. High concentrations of refrig-
erant vapours can be suffocating when they displace air. If high concentrations of refrigerant va-
pours are inhaled, they will attack the human nervous system.
When halogenated gasses come into contact with open flame or hot surfaces (over approx. 300°
C), they will decompose to produce poisonous chemicals. These have a very pungent odour and
will thus warn personnel of their presence.
In high concentrations, R717 causes respiratory problems. When the amount of ammonia vapour
in the air is between 15 and 28 vol. %, the combination is explosive and can be ignited by an elec-
tric spark or open flame.
Oil vapour in the ammonia vapour increases this risk significantly as the point of ignition falls be-
low that of the mixture ratio stated.
Usually the strong smell of ammonia will warn personnel before the concentration be-
comes dangerous.
The following table shows the values for the max. permissible refrigerant content in air measured
in volume %. Certain countries may, however, have official limits different from the ones stated.

3.1 Unit design

3.1.1 The ComPAC unit in general
The ComPAC is a complete, factory-manufactured chiller unit intended for water or brine cooling.
The ComPAC is equipped with a water-cooled condenser.
The ComPAC only uses R717 as refrigerant. Once the unit is charged with R717, connected to
electricity, and pipe connections to water/brine are established, it is ready for operation.
The unit is provided with adjustable anti-vibration machine feet for installation on a solid concrete
floor. For installation on decks, special vibration dampers are often required.
The ComPAC units are controlled by Johnson Controls Denmark’s Unisab III control and capacity
regulating system.
For specific dimensions and size of connections, see P&I diagram and GA drawing.

3.2 Main components

3.2.1 Compressor
The compressor is a Johnson Controls Denmark standard compressor, complete with stop valves,
motor, etc. For further information, see the compressor operating manual.
3.2.2 Control system

Chillers are delivered with Unisab III monitoring, safety and capacity regulating system.
The control system is described in the Unisab III manual.
Unisab III setting list for each specific order is enclosed with the manual.
If the actual operating conditions are different from the design conditions, the settings must be
checked.
VSD settings are stated in the wiring diagrams.
Note: Changes in factory settings must only be carried out by competent personnel.
3.2.3 Evaporator
The evaporator is a fully welded plate heat exchanger where plates are welded together into cas-
settes. R717 evaporates between the two welded plates which make up the cassettes and water/
brine is cooled in the channels inside the cassettes. The R717 droplets are separated from the va-
pour in the separator room above the plates.
The evaporator has one or two sets of brine connections depending on size and operating
conditions.
A sight glass is mounted at the end cover.
Note: The liquid level must never be visible in the inspection glass. See subsection 6.3 R717
charge and the P&I diagram for correct charge.
3.2.4 Condenser
The ComPAC is equipped with a water-cooled condenser. The condenser is a fully welded plate
heat exchanger where plates are welded together into cassettes.
R717 condenses between the welded plates which make up the cassettes and cooling water circu-
lates in the channels between the cassettes.
The liquid expansion system is based on a high pressure regulating system which is built into the
bottom of the condenser.

011769 en 2020.03 29/56
Design and function
3.2.5 Receiver
The ComPAC (external condenser) is equipped with a receiver. The purpose of the receiver is to
accumulate the liquid coming from the condenser. The receiver has the following connections and
sight glasses, all located on the flat end cover:
Fig. 13: ComPAC receiver

8 Sight glasses for liquid level check
9 Liquid (plugged)
10 Connection for purge valve
The receiver must never be filled completely with liquid. The level can always be checked in the
three sight glasses.
Warning!
The level must never rise above the middle of the upper sight glass.
To ensure correct operation of the chiller, the bottom sight glass should always be minimum half
full. This will prevent gas from entering the liquid line.

30/56 011769 en 2020.03
Design and function
3.2.6 HP regulating system (water-cooled condenser)

The ComPAC (water-cooled condenser) unit is equipped with a mechanical HP float valve.
This valve controls the expansion between the LP and HP sides of the refrigeration plant.
The mechanical float valve, pos. 1 in Fig. 14, is fitted in the float valve housing under the condens-
er in order to obtain a compact design and a very low refrigerant charge. The float valve is fixed
with a screw, pos. 2 in Fig. 14.
The float valve is equipped with a turning mechanism which opens up two nozzles while the liquid
level rises in the condenser and float valve reservoir. The expansion nozzle will never seal tightly.
This ensures that the pressure from the high pressure side of the plant can equalise to the low
pressure side at standstill.
For further information about the HP float valve, see chapter 8. Appendices.

Design and function
3.2.7 Air purge valve

If there is air in the refrigeration plant, it tends to accumulate in the receiver or the condenser.
On ComPAC (water-cooled condenser), the air purge valve is fitted at the top of the HP float valve
cover at the bottom of the condenser, Fig. 14, pos. 3.
Note: The valve at the bottom of the cover, Fig. 14, pos. 4, is used for liquid draining (R717).
During air purging the air purge valve should be connected to an open vessel containing water via
a refrigerant hose.
The air will leave the water as bubbles whereas the R717 gas will be absorbed by the water.
Note: R717 containing water must be disposed of in a correct and proper way, see chapter 2.3.9
Purging a refrigeration plant.

Design and function
3.2.8 Automatic oil recovery system from evaporator

The relatively small amount of oil leaving the compressor and oil separator with the discharge gas
is gradually collected at the bottom of the evaporator.
An oil recovery pot, Fig. 16, is connected to the evaporator by a pipe. From the recovery pot, the
oil is automatically returned to the compressor.
A float is fitted in the oil recovery pot, pos. 9, Fig. 15. It has the exact density which allows it to
float on the collected oil and sink in R717.
The float has a built-in reed switch which activates the solenoid valve, pos. 8 in Fig. 15, in the oil
return line to the compressor and the solenoid valve, pos. 7 in Fig. 15, on the hot gas line. The oil
is led directly to the compressor suction side, driven by the pressure difference between the LP
and HP sides.
The oil pot has an integrated piston which is driven by the discharge gas. The piston closes the
connection to the evaporator during the oil recovery cycle.

011769 en 2020.03 33/56
Design and function
When the oil level in the recovery pot, Fig. 16, is high, the float switch, pos. 1, is activated. The
switch turns on the solenoid valve in the oil recovery system. Incoming discharge gas pushes
down the piston, pos. 3, which blocks the oil drain inlet port. Discharge gas is led into the oil reser-
voir through the small nozzle, pos. 2. The rising pressure forces the oil back into the suction side
of the compressor.
To ensure proper functioning, a timer delays the off-signal from the float switch for a few seconds.
Note: As shown in Fig. 16, the float ball must be positioned with NO facing upwards.
For further information about the oil recovery pot, see chapter 8. Appendices.

3.2.9 Alarm for high level in the evaporator

The ComPAC has a level switch. If the R717 liquid level becomes too high in the evaporator, the
level switch will stop the compressor. This will protect the compressor against liquid hammering.
See subsection 6.3 R717 charge for correct charge.
Note: The liquid level must never be visible in the inspection glass.

Installation information
4. Installation information
4.1 General information

For assistance or information about installation, please contact your local Johnson Controls Den-
mark product representative.
4.2 First start-up procedure

Installation in terms of mechanical work (refrigeration system and piping), electrical work and in-
stallation of safety equipment must be performed in accordance with local codes/rules and/or ac-
cording to EN 378-3 and EN 378-4 as minimum requirements.
The pressure loss in the downstream line from the safety valve must meet the values stated in EN
13136 to which EN 378 is referring. The data necessary to dimension the line in accordance with
this standard is stated in the data sheet for the specific unit on page 1 or 2 of this manual.
Make sure that all necessary documents are available including declarations, certificates, identifi-
cation plates, manuals, machine card, logbooks, etc. and/or other documentation required ac-
cording to local rules and/or EN 378.
The main issues/check points for installation of the compressor unit are as follows:
1. Lifting the unit. Only use the lifting lugs marked with red.
2. Place the unit with sufficient free space for operation and maintenance in accordance with
GA-drawing.
3. Place the unit on a foundation suitable for the actual load and vibrations. With or without
vibration dampers according to the vibration design strategy.
4. Connect all piping. The piping design must include considerations regarding function, sus-
pension, vibrations, thermal expansion and pre-stress after welding in order to avoid high
load on the chiller unit connections. Mount all hoses and valves for compressor cooling.
5. The safety valves are fitted on the unit from factory. The pipe connection to the valve dis-
charge branch must be made in accordance with existing rules/standards. External piping
and condensers are not protected by the safety valves fitted on the unit.
6. Leak and pressure testing according to the applied/local codes and rules. Isolate the com-
pressor unit from the test pressure or disconnect the pressure transducers and safety
valves. Never exceed the test pressure of the unit stated on the unit name plate. All chiller
units are pressure tested and performance tested from factory.
7. Connect power supply wiring (water/brine pumps) according to electrical diagrams.
8. Make a final check of all relevant components, connections, electrical connections, safety
functions, i.e. safety valve, safety high pressure cut-out (below compressor safety over-
flow valve and not above 0.9 x max. allowable pressure) and the machine room safety
equipment.

011769 en 2020.03 35/56
9. Evacuate the unit.

10. Charge oil if not charged from factory.*
11. Charge refrigerant.
The P&I diagram states the charge for each specific chiller. Start out by charging 75% of
the specified R717 charge. The quality of the refrigerant must be appropriate for refriger-
ation applications; for details: see TI 2015–01 Ammonia quality.
12. Turn on power.
13. Check the Unisab III control system settings including calibration according to the Unisab
III manual.
14. Check the direction of rotation of the compressor motor.
15. Check alignment of the coupling.
All ComPACs are equipped with flange motors, therefore alignment will normally not be
necessary.
16. Carry out the pre-start check, see subsection 5.2.1, and run the compressor in 100%
capacity.
17. Check the liquid level in the evaporator. Droplets should come out of the top of the plates.
The plates should not be completely covered by liquid. Check that the suction superheat
is between 0.5 and 3°K. If higher, carefully charge more R717.
18. Check the R717 liquid level again.
Note: * ComPAC units may only be charged with PAO oils.
4.3 Noise and vibration

4.3.1 General information
To ensure the compressor and motor a long life and a low noise and vibration level, it is recom-
mended to check alignment of the chiller unit.
Misalignment may result in stresses and vibrations which can be transmitted to the compressor
and motor bearings and cause major damage.
Vibrations may be caused by the following:
• Distortion between the chiller unit and its foundation
• Distortion between the compressor and base frame
• Distortion between the motor and base frame
• Incorrect alignment of the coupling between the compressor and motor
• Tension from the piping connections between the chiller and plant
• Imbalance in the compressor and motor
• Resonance in the unit and coupling
4.3.2 Sound and noise data

Consult the compressor manual for sound and noise data.

36/56 011769 en 2020.03
4.3.3 Foundation
To obtain the desired vibration damping, the concrete foundation must have the necessary bear-
ing strength and be as plane as possible. Always collect weight information of the chiller unit be-
fore projecting the concrete foundation.
4.3.4 Vibration dampers

The ComPAC unit is placed on vibration dampers. These dampers are calculated to the chiller
weight and designed for minimum 70% vertical isolation (100% capacity) which will be sufficient
for chiller units installed on solid concrete floors.
ComPAC units must be level, and it is therefore recommended to install the unit on machine feet.
The load on the machine feet must be distributed evenly so the deflection will be roughly the same
on each of the feet, see Fig. 17.
Deflection of a machine foot can be adjusted by increasing or reducing the load compared to the
other supports by turning the adjusting rod.
For installation in storey buildings, specially designed vibration dampers are often required. In
such cases, it is recommended to replace the machine feet with specially designed vibration
dampers.
Contact a vibration expert or a Johnson Controls Denmark representative for more information.

4.3.5 ComPAC with variable speed drive (VSD)

The ComPAC unit is available with:
• fixed speed
• variable speed drive (VSD)
The motor for the screw compressor is controlled by a frequency converter. See the Unisab III En-
gineering manual for further description.
For some ComPAC models with screw compressors, mechanical vibrations caused by resonance
may occur in the actual operating range 1000-3600 rpm (6000 rpm for SABflex). This will in some
cases result in an increased vibration level over an interval of approximately 100-150 rpm. As a
rule of thumb, the rpm area is skipped if the vibration level exceeds the recommended maximum
vibration level (see the compressor manual).
All ComPACs are tested from factory. If skipping of rpm is required, this has been done and noted
in the setting list (wirring diagrams).
It is recommended to check the vibration level during pre-start. The resonance rpm area may
change after shipping and installation.

011769 en 2020.03 37/56
4.4 Secondary system

4.4.1 General information
Designing a secondary system is a complex task where many things must be considered, for
instance:
• load variations
• pressure loss
• service
• maintenance
• corrosion and erosion
• fouling.
Note: Rapid temperature variations in the secondary system can damage the chiller. It is recom-
mended to keep temperature changes below 1 K/min. Install a buffer tank or balancing tank to
avoid great variations in load and temperature. Avoid fluctuating pressure and temperature as
this can damage the heat exchangers.
4.4.2 Cleaning in place

It is recommended to install valves and connections for chemical cleaning of open secondary cir-
cuits. ComPAC evaporators and condensers are fully welded heat exchangers and cannot be
cleaned mechanically.
For more information about chemical cleaning, please contact a Johnson Controls representative.
4.4.3 Temperature and flow control

The Unisab III controller adjusts the compressor load by means of input from a PT100 tempera-
ture sensor. A sensor threaded branch and sensor pocket are delivered with the unit. The sensor
must be fitted into the evaporator outlet pipe minimum 1 metre away from the evaporator.
4.4.4 Water and brine treatment

Brine and water for industrial refrigeration plants often contain impurities that can create a coat-
ing (fouling) on the heat transferring surfaces. This reduces the heat transmission and in some
cases the coating causes corrosion of the heat transferring surfaces.
It is therefore important to keep brine and water under observation for both evaporator and con-
denser. Consult a water treatment expert concerning additives to the system. The liability of
Johnson Controls Denmark does not include any damage that may occur due to harmful impur-
ities in the system.
Be aware that all cooling towers and evaporative condensers experience a constant loss of water
due to evaporation. In order to keep the concentration of impurities low, a bleed system must be
installed.
Note: In order to obtain the correct mixture, it is recommended to premix secondary refrigerants
(glycol or brine) and to check it subsequently.
4.4.5 R717 detector

Installation of R717 detectors in the room and in the secondary circuit of an indirect system must
be in accordance with EN 378 and/or local codes and rules. Detectors in the secondary circuit in
indirect systems are recommended regardless of the R717 charge limit according to EN 378.
The use of detectors in secondary circuits should be based on a risk assessment covering assess-
ment of:

38/56 011769 en 2020.03
• risk of damaging secondary piping and components material (corrosion)

• secondary refrigerant e.g. glycol in case of leakage
Leak detectors should be selected, installed and maintained in cooperation and accordance with
the recommendations of the detector supplier.

5.3.4 Restarting the chiller after power interruption

When the power supply returns after a short power interruption, restarting depends on the Unisab
III settings.
If Unisab III is set in AUTO running mode, the chiller will normally start up when needed by the
automatic control and when relevant timer/delay has expired.
If Unisab III is set in MANUAL running mode, the operator must start up using the manual start
key on Unisab III.
1. Check variable set points
2. Unisab III must display: READY
3. Follow the normal start-up procedure.
Note: A long stop requires a long-term stop procedure as described in the following.
5.3.5 Restarting chiller unit after alarm stop (shutdown)

1. Check and correct the cause of the alarm
2. Reset the alarm
3. Unisab III must display: READY
4. Follow the normal start-up procedure.
5.4 During operation

5.4.1 Checks to be performed during operation
1. Choose a suitable picture from the Unisab III display to view the data to be checked.
2. Check that oil pressure is obtained and that the evaporating and condensing pressures
are within the permissible ranges.
3. Check the other operating data.
4. Check for abnormal noise and vibrations.
5. Check the oil and refrigerant level.
6. Make sure the chiller is operating stably - not fluctuating.
5.4.2 Monitoring of operation

To ensure satisfactory operation, it is required that you enter certain routines in a logbook on a
regular basis. You can use the items listed in the Start-up log, which is page 2 of the Checklist il-
lustrated in Fig. 20. The service engineer will need this information in connection with, for exam-
ple, error reports.
In addition to the items listed in the start-up log, all other activities of service, maintenance or re-
pair work must be entered into your logbook as required by EN 378 and national laws.
Checklist
Along with this Operating manual we have provided a Checklist, as shown in Fig. 20, which will
serve as a help to the service engineer and must be filled in during commissioning and
start-up.
Keep the filled-in checklist, and send a copy to SABROE Factory as documentation that the unit
has been installed and commissioned correctly. The checklist will be required in case of a warranty
issue.

5.5 Stopping procedures

5.5.1 Stopping for a brief period
In automatic mode Unisab III will occasionally stop the chiller depending on the cooling require-
ment. This is normal and does not require any action by the operator of the plant.
The chiller can be stopped manually on Unisab III at any capacity setting. However, under normal
conditions, it is recommended to reduce capacity to a minimum before stopping the compressor.
Leave all valves in their “in-operation positions” unless servicing or repair work is to be per-
formed. Do not turn off power to the chiller unit as the oil heater must be connected to keep the
correct oil temperature.
Caution!
Wire connections to the motor and VSD must not be touched immediately after the chiller is pow-
ered down as the capacitors in the VSD may still be charged. Read the warning label on the VSD.
5.5.2 Shutting down for a long standstill period

Follow the Stopping for a brief period instructions and:
1. Turn of the oil heater.
2. Close suction and discharge valves.
3. Rotate the motor and compressor (weekly/monthly according to below).
4. If the compressor is water-cooled, drain of the water.
To reduce the risk of bearing damage, it is recommended to rotate (to a new position) the motor
and compressor on a monthly basis. If the chiller unit is exposed to vibrations during a long shut-
down period, the position should be changed weekly. Avoid high vibration level.
5.6 Shutdowns and alarms

5.6.1 Operating state
Experience has shown that variations in pressures and temperatures within the cooling cycle can
provide information about the operating state of the refrigeration plant.
In particular, suction and condensing pressures, as well as the temperatures of suction and pres-
sure gas, can provide important information.
Often, small changes in the variable pressures and temperatures are sufficient to create consider-
able changes in the operating conditions.
It is therefore very important to use a logbook as mentioned in subsection 5.4.2 Monitoring of op-
eration. If a refrigeration plant is not operating in optimal conditions, the economy of the plant will
not be optimal either.
Irregularities in the plant will often cause changes in the operating conditions but not make the
plant stop. Consequently, the operating state of a refrigeration plant must be checked at regular
intervals.

Air or non-condensable gases in the system Remove air from the condenser.
A 1°K lower condensing temperature results in a 1% higher cooling performance and 3% lower
power consumption.

Cause Solution
Fouling in the evaporator Clean the evaporator.
Oil in the evaporator Inspect the oil recovery system.
Check liquid level in evaporator.

Insufficient R717 charge Charge more R717 to the plant.
Suction gas superheat should be approx. 0.5 to 3°K.
A 1°K higher evaporating temperature results in a 4% higher cooling performance.

Missing oil
During the first 50 hours of operation, the compressor will lose oil. A few litres of oil will accumu-
late at the bottom of the oil separator, condenser and evaporator and never return to the com-
pressor. It is therefore not unusual that the compressor needs to be recharged with oil.
If the oil continues to disappear from the compressor, the oil return and recovery system must be
checked.
Cause Solution
1. Check the function and position of the oil float switch (see de-
scription of oil recovery pot). When the float is up, the switch
must be closed (ON) and vice versa.
2. Check that the piston in the oil recovery pot is able to move

4. Check timers in Unisab III.
See Unisab III settings list for timer settings.
5. Check if the oil separator is filled with oil. If so, adjust the
timers in Unisab III. Increase the solenoid valve “ON” time.

011769 en 2020.03 47/56
In the period after start-up and at low-load operation, the oil recovery system will return more oil
to the compressor than during full load.
At part-load operation, the oil will settle easier because of less boiling in the evaporator.

5.6.3 Testing of chillers

Chillers supplied by Johnson Controls Denmark have been function and performance tested, as
far as possible.
A performance test consists of simultaneous measurements of cooling capacity, power consump-
tion and condenser capacity.
It is not a simple task to measure performance. High quality measuring and logger equipment is
required to make reliable and accurate measurements. Contact a Johnson Controls representa-
tive if a performance test is needed.

Maintenance instructions
6. Maintenance instructions
6.1 Maintenance of the chiller unit

Read chapter 2. Safety carefully before performing any maintenance on the chiller unit.
To ensure that the chiller unit operates without problems throughout a long service life, the sys-
tem of maintenance presented in the following instructions must be followed.
Daily maintenance is normally performed by the operating personnel. Other maintenance and
service tasks, which require the refrigeration system to be opened, must be performed by compe-
tent personnel.
Maintenance can be divided into:
1. Daily maintenance
(minimum twice a week)
Daily maintenance consists of visual inspections:
• Inspect the chiller unit and check that both noise and vibrations are normal.
• To observe trends, it is recommended to enter the observed operating data in an
operations log, see 5.4.2 Monitoring of operation. Check that all operating values
are within the permissible ranges. Compare them with previous values to detect
trends.
• Check the oil level.
• Check the refrigerant charge.
• Observe for leaks of refrigerant (smell of ammonia), oil, glycol or water.
• Check mechanical seal oil draining bottle.
• Check the control system for alarms/shutdowns.
2. Half-yearly/yearly/major maintenance
• In general, only the compressor needs to be maintained. However, it is recom-
mended to check that the chiller is running properly; check for fouling of heat ex-
changers and dirt in the filters, for instance.
Maintenance intervals are described in detail in the compressor manual.
6.2 Selecting lubricating oil for ComPAC units

Only use PAO oils (Polyalphaolefin-based oils) for ComPAC units.
PAO oil is a synthetic oil with low vapour pressure.
Usually, the ComPAC units are charged with oil from factory. Do not switch to a different oil type
or brand without first consulting Johnson Controls Denmark.
Oil changes are described in detail in the compressor manual.
PAO oil has many advantages:
– High chemical stability: it is suitable for long-term operation.
– Low vapour pressure: lower oil carry-over from the compressor.
– High viscosity index: better oil recovery from evaporator.

011769 en 2020.03 49/56
Maintenance instructions
6.3 R717 charge

It is very important that the chiller has the correct charge. The P&I diagram states the charge for
each specific chiller.
At normal operation the suction superheat should be between 0.5-3°K.
In the evaporator, droplets should come out of the top of the plates. The plates must not be com-
pletely covered by liquid.
The quality of the refrigerant must be appropriate for refrigeration applications; for details, see:
TI2015-01 Ammonia quality.

Final disposal
7. Final disposal
7.1 Safety precautions
Danger!
Before dismantling the plant, read the safety precautions carefully.
Dismantling a refrigeration unit to be scrapped must be carried out safely.

Only competent refrigeration personnel must perform the dismantling as fundamental knowledge
of refrigeration systems and the risks involved are required.
Before dismantling the unit, refrigerant and oil must be drained into suitable containers. Discon-
nect all electrical connections to the unit and remove fuses in the main switchboard.
During the dismantling process, the individual machine parts and components must be sorted to
ensure proper disposal. Hazardous waste must be handled at a site complying with the prevailing
national rules and regulations.
Danger!
Be very careful when using cutting tools, such as angle grinders or flame cutters, during the dis-
mantling process, as pipes and the like contain oil residue and refrigerant, which may be toxic
and/or flammable.
7.2 Waste disposal

Machine parts
When dismantling the plant, it is important to properly sort the parts that should be disposed of.
The compressor, frame, containers and so on belonging to the category of iron and metal scrap
must be brought to an approved scrap dealer who complies with the prevailing national rules and
regulations.
Oil and refrigerant
Oil and refrigerant waste must be disposed of in accordance with the prevailing national rules and
regulations. Do not transport oil in open containers in a closed car.
Electric components
Electric and electronic products such as wiring, panels and hardware must be disposed of in ac-
cordance with prevailing national rules and regulations.
Batteries
Used batteries, for example from the control system backup, must be disposed of in accordance
with prevailing national rules and regulations.
