ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

OPERATION

SYSTEM EVACUATION
The system should be vacuumised from both the low and high pressure sides. Use a two stage rotary vacuum
pump and an electronic vacuum gauge to achieve not less than 500 microns vacuum level. Use of a triple evacuation
method (doing the evacuation in three stages with breaking of vacuum upto 2 Psig using the system refrigerant)
gives very good result in keeping the moisture and non-condensable gases away from the system.

The compressor must never be started under vacuum pressure, as serious damage will be done to the
motor winding and terminals, in case of semi-hermatic compressor.

The presence of air and moisture in a system can lead to failure of the compressor through corrosion, slugging,
copper plating, oil break-down, carbon formation, valve chocking etc. The liquid line driers used in
the system can take care of residual moisture only and one should not depend on the driers to take care of
the system moisture or to provide back-up for an ineffective evacuation process. It is the system manufacturers'
responsibility to ensure that air and moisture are kept out of the system and no chemical reaction takes place
inside.

1. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHILLER PACKAGE


1.1 Before starting the plant make sure that there is sufficient water in the cooling tower.
1.2 Switch on the main switch in the Maintenance Room and check the voltage and ensure that the
same is within the permissible limits.
1.3 Observe the sequence of Microprocessor operation (programmable parameters & keyboard
operation).

2. GENERAL
2.1 The condenser and chiller are suitable for operation with soft and uncontaminated water. If the
water used is corrosive, high in mineral content or entrained solids, it can cause derated
performance and can even lead to failure of condenser and chiller. Therefore, it may be necessary
to check the quality of water available and provide suitable water treatment plant in consultation
with specialist.
2.2 The chiller packages are dispatched from factory with a nominal charge of refrigerant and
oil. The user shall check the system pressure and ensure that there is no damage to the unit in
transit/installation, resulting in gas leakage.
If the refrigerant gas has leaked out due to transit/installation damage, then the complete system
will have to be pressure tested, vacuumised and charged with refrigerant & oil at site.
2.3 The crankcase heater shall be energized in order that the sump temperature is maintained at
about 100 Deg F before commissioning. This will ensure that the oil is warm enough to vaporise
any dissolved refrigerant while keeping the oil within a normal operating parameters and temperature
range.
2.4 The unit shall be commissioned and operated only by a competent refrigerant technician who is
familiar with accepted operation practices for refrigeration systems.

16
ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

3. INITIAL STARTUP
The units are ready for start up when the following checks are complete.
3.1 Water piping connections to and from condenser and chiller are installed flushed and tested.
3.2 Electrical connections are made and tested

Electrical Service
The chiller packages are shipped from the factory completely prewired. When fan motors are supplied
loose, the fan motor leads need to be connected at site. Power supply required is balanced
3 phase, 4 wire, 50 cycles. AC supply voltage must be 400 + 10%. All control wiring is suitable for
230 V, single-phase 50 cycle AC.

1. Electrical Test :
Any test that have to be conducted to check electrical performance of the unit or its
components must be done by authorised maintenance personnel only. Improper test
procedures may lead to damage of the unit and fatal accidents. Disconnect main supply
before attempting to touch any electrical component. Following test/procedures are required
to be carried out on the unit.
a) Continuity Tests

i) Use a multimeter for checking continuity of the electric circuit. When checking a
motor, disconnect power leads to the motor and see resistance of each pair of
compressor terminals.

ii) A healthy winding will indicate 0.5 to 2.0 megaohms resistance.

iii) An open winding will indicate infinite resistance.

(Caution : even a burnt or internally short winding will show continuity).

iv) It is essential to carry out megger test to check the insulation resistance of any
motor.

v) Check the motors for earthed winding by checking each motor terminals
with the body of compressor.

b) Megger Test

i) Use a 500 V hand cranking DC megger. Higher voltage might damage insulation
of the winding.

ii) Do not carry out megger test on a compressor, which is under vacuum.

iii) The resistance of a healthy winding is normally more than 1 megaohms when
windings are cool.

iv) If the resistance is between 0.5 megaohms to 1 megaohms the winding should
be baked once again to 120 deg. C for 3-4 hours and resistance should be
rechecked after the windings are cooled.

v) If resistance does not improve with rebaking, the motor must be rewound.

17
ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

vi) If resistance of motors can be improved on field by either running motor from the
unit and heating the motor body with the help of 2 or 3 100 W bulbs placed
around the motor.

c) Measurement of Motor Current and its Adjustments

i) Measurement of current is done by using a Tong tester or clip-on ammeter.


To measure current of any motor, set the ammeter range to the maximum first
and measure line current at the starter outlet feeders.

ii) In case of a Star Delta Starter, line current is obtained by measuring phase
current at outgoing of main contactor and multiplying the current so obtained by
1.732 (i.e. square root of 3). The line current of any motor should never exceed
rated full load current on the Motor Name Plate for a long time.

iii) A fan or a pump motor is designed to give a design flow rate at an estimated
head (the resistance offered by the system). An over estimation of head results
in excess flow (through fan or pump) which is generated to create additional
head. This results in increase of BHP observed and therefore overloading of
motor. Adjust flow by regulating globe valve (on the outlet of condenser) in case
of pumps and by reducing fan RPM or by regulating volume control dampers in
case of fans.

iv) For compressor motor check system for overcharge, mechanical fault or
non-condensable in system.

3.3 Unit has been checked for initial refrigerant and oil charge from factory to be intact and full
charging done at site.

3.4 Crank case heater energised to keep sump warm.

3.5 Pressure gauges have been connected to suction and discharge side of compressor.

3.6 Start the condenser water recirculation pump; check the direction of rotation for correctness.

3.7 Start the cooling tower fan (in case of induced/forced draft cooling tower.)

3.8 Start the chilled water recirculation pump; check the direction of rotation for correctness.
Flushing of condenser/chiller pipe work after 3 to 8 hours depending system size.

3.9 Chiller and condenser water flow rates

a. Charts for condenser and chiller water flow rates and pressure drops are available in this
manual. The quantity of water flowing through the chiller and condenser shall be computed
by plotting the measured pressure drop figures on these graphs. Design values shall be
achieved by necessary adjustments by regulating valves.

b. The pressure gauges shall be accurate and pressures shall be measured at inlet and outlet
of chiller and condenser.

c. As a cross reference, these water flow rates for condenser and chiller shall be compared
from the respective circulation pump characteristics curves from pump manufacturer.

d. Stabilize the condenser and chiller water circulation by purging trapped air.

18
ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

3.10 Check all refrigerant valves to ensure that they are in OPEN position.

3.11 Start the unit through MCP.

4. AFTER STARTING THE PLANT


4.1 Observe suction and discharge pressure for 30 minutes.

4.2 The normal discharge pressure will be between 118 psig to 150 psig for refrigerant R134a for watercooled.

IMPORTANT
1. "Under no circumstances the compressor should be run on vacuum".

2. For the initial Start Up of the plant we recommend the following procedures :

a. Establish the full circulation of chilled water through all the AHUs, FCUs or other process
load by purging the air in the circulation with the blower/fan in "OFF" position.
b. Similarly the condenser water circulation shall be established.
c. The blower/fans shall be started one by one once the chilled water temperature is brought
down to about 8-100 C.

5. COMMISSIONING
5.1 Pre-commissioning Checks
After completing the installation, before starting the compressor, check the following points :

1. Check all electrical connections for looseness and whether they are as per the electrical
wiring diagram.
2. Check the wiring connections of the sentronic, motor protection module and the capacity
control module.
3. Check the phase sequence of supply wires at the compressor terminals 1, 2, 3 and 7, 8, 9.
They should be the same.
4. Observe compressor oil level before starting. It should be at or above the centre level of the
sight glass.
5. Check the setting of thermostat, low and high pressure cutouts, overload relays etc. and
adjust them to the required range and differential setting values.
6. To verify if the electrical panel is wired correctly, it will be a good practice to disconnect the
compressor supply cables right in the panel and start the unit. The pressure cutouts and/
or control may have to be bypassed for few seconds to see if the compressor contactors
hold correctly-particularly in a part-winding start circuit.
7. If the contactors hold correctly, connect all the cables and wires as per initial wiring and get
ready to start the compressor. Verify and keep the service valves of compressor fully open.
8. Check the direction of rotation of cooling tower fan, condenser water pump, air cooled
condenser fan, chilled water pump, evaporator fan etc. and rectify if required.

19
ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

5.2 Commissioning Procedure

1. After evacuation, charge approximately 70% of system charge in the liquid line; note down
the initial system pressures. Switch on the unit and let the compressor start.
2. With the compressor running, monitor suction, discharge, current, oil level etc. if the charge
is found to be less, add refrigerant vapour, monitoring the pressure and current. Keep a
record of the weight of refrigerant charge put in the system.
Do not charge trying to remove bubbles in the liquid sight glass. It may end up in
overcharging the unit.

3. Observe system pressure during charging and initial operation. Do not add oil when the
system is short of refrigerant, unless oil level is dangerously low.

4. Do not leave the system unattended until the system has reached normal operating
conditions and the oil charge has been properly adjusted to maintain the oil level at the
centre of the sight glass.

5.3 Operational Checks

After the system is fully charged and has run for approximately two hours without any indication of
malfunction, a thorough recheck of the entire system operation should be made as described below :
1. Check operating suction and discharge pressures. If not within system design limits, determine
the cause and take corrective actions.
2. Observe oil level in the compressor and add oil if required to bring it to the centre of sight glass.
Procedure to add oil to compressor is given in this manual.
3. Check the proper functioning of EXV by measuring the superheat.
4. Check the line voltage and current of compressor. It should be within the design limits permitted.
If the current drawn is more than 120% of the specified value, determine the cause and immediately
take corrective actions.
5. Check proper function of all safety controls - like LP cutout, HP cutout, single phase preventor,
water flow switch, anti-freeze thermostat etc.
6. Check the operational of compressor motor protection module, by removing the sensor wires.
The LED will turn red immediately and trip the compressor in two minutes. On connecting sensor
wires & manually pressing the reset button on the module, the control circuit is reset and after the
on-delay timing is completed (either through the motor protection module or additional on-delay
timer), the compressor should re-start.
7. Record all the system operating parameters and the range and differential setting of all operating
and safety controls for future reference.
8. Monitor the system operation on operating thermostat for few on-off cycles and ensure that
everything is normal, before leaving the site.
9. After running the unit for 48 hours, check the oil colour and any dirt or contamination. If the oil is
contaminated, replace the oil.

20
ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

6. FIELD SERVICE OPERATION

6.1 Pressure Testing


Pressure Testing (followed by vacuum test) a refrigerant circuit is essential, before refrigerant is
charged in the system either initially for topping up gas after a suspected leak. It is advisable
to locate the leak, rectify and then charge gas after pressure testing (before pressure testing the
remaining FREON gas should be removed into empty cylinder). In case of a semi-hermatic
compressor winding burnout, the system should be thoroughly flushed with R11 to drive out
contaminants generated in the system, before the compressor is replaced. It is imperative that
the new catchall drier is fitted in circuit.

a. Charge dry nitrogen in the system by connecting cylinder at the compressor service valve
and check pressure in the system. Charge nitrogen up to a pressure of 3 to 4 kg/cm.

b. Check all joints with soap solution. Locate all leaks.

c. If no leaks are found increase pressure up to 10.5 kg/cm 2 adding more nitrogen.
Check for leaks.

d. After all leaks are located, remove nitrogen completely by opening the charging line.
Repair leak and retest. Do not start repair work unless entire nitrogen is removed from the
system.

Caution : Never use oxygen gas for pressure testing as fatal explosions may occur. Avoid use
of CO2 for pressure test as CO2 gas may contain excessive moisture, which might remain in
system. Do not use compressor to build pressure for leak tests as overheating might damage
the compressor.

Note : Minor leak suspected during operation can be located by using Halide leak detector or
electronic leak detector.

6.2 Vacuumising and Charging of Refrigerant


Evacuating the system by pulling deep vacuum enables dehydrating the system and removing
of air (non-condensable). In the event of a compressor burnout, it helps remove carbon deposits
and smoke that is generated. A good 2 stage vacuum pump should be employed to get vacuum
down to 5 microns (1 microns = 0.001 mm) of Hg absolute. A vacuum gauge for reading vacuum
should be used.

a. Put a jumper line (1/4 OD) to equalise high and low side on the compressor.
Connect vacuum pump and vacuum gauge to the system. Open compressor service valves
and start the pump.

b. Run pump till vacuum reaches to boiling point of moisture (water) will be about 0 deg. C.
Hence, for normal ambient temperature (10 deg. C and above pulling a deeper vacuum is
neither recommended nor necessary).

c. If vacuum is stabilized, close charging valve and stop the pump.

d. Allow vacuum in the system for an hour also. Recheck vacuum, break vacuum by charging

21
ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER COOLED SCREW CHILLERS

refrigerant vapor from the 1/4" FPT service port at compressor suction shut-off valve.
Revacuumise and check. Charge gas.

For charging, back seat the suction and discharge shut off valve, install a pressure gauge
in the discharge valve port and connect 1.4 inch OD charging line to the cylinder. Take care
that only vapor refrigerant is charged to the system as liquid entering compressor is likely
to damage compressor parts.

e. Open the cylinder valve a little and purge air in the charging line by cracking the flare nut at
compressor valve port and allowing some refrigerant to drive out air. Tighten the flare nut.
Open compressor service valve partially by turning stem clockwise and start compressor.
Follow start-up procedure.

6.3 Purging Non-condensable Gases


Non-condensable gases are like to be accumulated at the higher portions of the systems.
This causes reduction in cooling capacity and waste or power resulting from higher condensing
temperature.

a. Close liquid line shut off valve and connects gauges on suction and discharge service
valves.

b. Start the compressor. Suction pressure will drop as the liquid valve is closed. Stop the
compressor after suction pressure drops down to zero psig. The suction pressure will start
rising. When it becomes steady start compressor again. When suction pressure again
drops to zero, stop the compressor. Repeat this procedure till suction pressure stays more
or less close to zero after stopping compressor.

c. Run the condenser water pump for about half an hour and read the condensers shell
pressure compare this with saturation pressure of the refrigerant gas at cooling tower water
temperature. If the shell pressure is more than 2 to 5 psi than the saturation pressure crank
open the purge valve on the condenser. Repeat the process till the shell pressure comes
down to the saturation pressure of the refrigerant at water temperature.

d. Close fully the purge valve and restart the unit. Compare operating pressure. If the pressure
are not within limits follow steps (a) and (b) once again. Investigate unit performance if
results are not satisfactory.

CONTROL ZONE CONTROL METHOD OPTIONS


This control strategy is based upon developing a control zone and then to step the compressor(s) through thier
stages to maintain the control sensor reading within this zone. To accomplish this the system will constantly
monitor the control value, its rate of change and position in relationship to the control zone.
The actual strategy of a fixed step system, reciprocating compressor, and a variable (slide) step system, screw
compressor or a reciprocating compressor with an inverter. is slightly different. The variable step system allows for
infinite variations of capacity while the fixed step system does not.

1.1 Common Definition


1.1.1 Target
The control target is specified in set point 1. This will be the base of developing the control zone.

1.1.2. Control Zone


The control zone is developed by adding the set points for the control target (set point) and the dead band
+(set point) to obtain the upper limit. The lower limit is obtained by substracting the dead band -
(set point 3) set point from the control target (set point 1).

Temperature Control Zone+


Target Control Zone
Temp 450 Control Zone-

Once the control zone has been established, the system will attempt to keep the control sensor reading
with in this range.

1.1.3. Controlling Sensor


This is the sensor that has been specified in the Config program as providing the
control value reading. It will normally be either the entering, leaving temperature or the suction
pressure. The set points must be adjusted to agree with the controlling value.

1.1.4. The Rate of Change of The Control Input


The rate of change is how fast the control value is changing over a period of time. If the control
value is increasing the rate will be positive, if decreasing the rate will be a negative value. How
fast the input is changing, its direction and where the current input reading is in relationship to
the control zone will determine what action the system will take.

1.1.5. Step Delay


The system will not attempt to take action until the Step Delay reaches zero. Set point 26
contains the initial value. The speed that it is decrement by is based upon the rate of change of
control input value and the sensitivity that has been specified.

1.1.6. Sensitivity
The sensitivity value is contained in set point 25. The purpose of the sensitivity value is to limit
or dampen how fast the system reacts to changes indicated by the control sensor. The lower the
number, the faster the system will react to changes of the control sensor.

MAINTENANCE

1. CONDENSER COOLING WATER MANAGEMENT


Water-cooled condenser should have a soft, uncontaminated filtered water supply. Hard water
(a hardness over 60 ppm of CaCO3) circulated in the water circuit results in rapid scale formation inside
the tube surface. This results in reduction of heat transfer from condensing refrigerant to condenser
water, thereby resulting into reduction of system cooling capacity, increased discharge pressure,
clogging of tube and nozzles and eventual break down of AC system. Atmospheric oxygen,
carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide absorbed from air in cooling tower and dissolved in water causes
corrosion.

As the condenser water is recycled the concentration of corrosive minerals increases. If repeated
operational problems are attributed to condenser water, then it is advisable, in critical cases, that
chemical analysis be asked for rather than frequent descaling operations which eventually shorten the
condenser life. Soft make-up water at rate of 1.5% to 2% of flow rate is recommended to be provided at
the cooling tower.

2. DESCALING OF CONDENSER
Carry out condenser descaling work when unit is not in operation. Rig up the descaling tank, pump and
connecting pipe work. Following precautions should be taken :

a. Do not run fan while descaling is being done. Fumes/gases liberated during descaling will cause
discomfort to the occupants and might.

b. Cause harm to instrument/apparatus kept in airconditioned space.

c. Descaling chemical should be circulated from bottom port of condenser water connections and
outlet pipe must be vented.

Add water to the tank and start descaling pump. Check that there is no leak in the connections.

Add descaling chemical slowly to the tank, do not exceed pH of 4. Maintain pH valve by checking
at regular intervals and adding chemical slowly. It should take about 2-3 hours. Use descaling
chemical approved by VOLTAS.

After descaling is over, flush the system with water till pH valve comes up to a little more that 7.

Inspect the condenser tubes by opening end covers. Use a nylon brush for brushing tubes if
necessary.

3. FAULTS AND REMEDIES


In case of any abnormal conditions, care should be taken to prevent any accident and / or damage to
the equipments.

The frequency of occurrence of the faults can be reduced but it cannot be avoided completely.
Hence the control system is provided in such a way that for the important faults before the compressor
is TRIPPED, to avoid damage or accident, the ALARM is provided to caution the plant attendant to take
corrective steps.
