INTRODUCTION General description ! Werner Finley liquid chillers are complete, self-contained, automatic refrigeration units that are ready for installation. ! These units include the latest engineered components assembled to provide a compact and efficient Chiller. ! Each unit is completely factory assembled, wired & pressure tested before charging of refrigerant. The unit undergoes thorough load test before dispatch. Inspection ! Upon receipt of the units at site, ensure the complete shipment against delivery note or Bill and also inspect the unit for any transit damage. ! If transit damage is found, report the damage to the transporter and file for insurance claim. 3 4 Werner Finley Handling and lifting ! Always keep the unit in vertical position as per arrow displayed on the wooden box. ! Dismantle the wooden packing. ! Lifting hooks / eyebolts are provided at the top of unit. Use them for safe lifting. ! In some units where lifting hooks are not provided, sling the unit from base to lift safely. ! Handling of the unit should be done with the aid of qualified personnel's who are familiar and experienced with this type of equipment. Note: Physical damage to unit after acceptance will not be covered for rework under warranty LOCATING Foundation andAnti Vibration Mounts ! Werner Finley units have very minimum vibration units and do not require any special type of mounting. ! These units can be set directly on the floor or rooftop or any platform with adequate support system. Shelter to be provided in case of outdoor installations. ! Anti vibration mounts can be used and can be of Neoprene rubber material. ! For Immersion type units beading should be provided on the frame where it is to be mounted, to avoid metal to metal contact. Location ! Each side of the unit must be accessible for periodic maintenance and service work. ! The unit should maintain a good clearance from the surrounding walls for good air exchange. ! The area should have good ventilation system or exhaust system. 5 Werner Finley Location w.r.t. clearances from adjacent walls / obstructions 1m 1m 1 - 1.5m Note: Upper side clearance should be atleast 2 m from the top of the chiller Tips on Location Selection ! In air-cooled units, condenser air inlet and condenser fan air discharge must be free from any obstructions. ! Units that are not given enough clearance, will experience coil starvation and hot air re-circulation and would affect the performance of the chiller. ! Hence, free air supply and free hot air ventilation is a must at the site of installation of an air-cooled chiller. ! The discharge of the condenser is hot and is exhausted out through the cut out provided (normally top). ! If required, ducts can be used to vent this hot air out. ! Aprofessional should take up the ducting work 6 Werner Finley LIQUID PIPING In most chillers, the pump is included in the package and only the end connections are to be made at the site. ! The pipeline could be of flexible hose or pipe one depending on the pressure and preferences. Flexible hose should be properly clamped to avoid leakage. ! Flexible hoses can subjected to pinching if supports are not provided. ! The inlet/outlet pipeline diameters should not be reduced or increased. ! Rigid pipeline should be of stainless steel or any non corrossive material pipe to avoid rusting. ! Provide isolation valves at inlet / outlet connection to chiller. ! Providing vibration isolators of the right diameters at the inlet/outlet of the chiller, where ever the piping its rigid. ! Providing an air vent in the pipeline is a good practice to vent the trapped air in the pipeline during startup. ! It is recommended to use a wire mesh strainer at the inlet to chiller. The size of the strainer should be at par with the rate of flow of impurity through the pipeline running above the tank. ! NRV [Non Return Valve] should be provided in case of lengthy pipelines running above the tank. ! In case, where flow consistency cannot be assured, it is highly recommended to install a flow switch in discharge pipeline and interlock the same with the chiller. ! As much as possible try giving a positive suction to the pump. If not, use a self priming pump with a foot valve at the suction. Also provide an opening with a valve in the discharge line for priming the pump. ! Please inform our engineering team well before if the pump is subjected to negative suction. ! Sharp and too many bends will create a back pressure and reduce the liquid flow through the system. ! If there is a heavy condensation, insulation to be provided for the liquid lines. ! Using unions or flanges of correct sizes wherever necessary helps for easy maintenance. Note: Werner Finley will not be responsible if chiller or pump fails or malfunctions due to foreign particle entry, reduction in flow, bad piping, pump starvation, freezing of heat exchangers, etc. 7 Werner Finley Typical Piping Layout 5 6 2 3 4 1 7 LABELS 1 2&5 3&6 4 7 8 WATER PRESSURE GAUGE VALVES VIBRATION ELIMINATOR Y-STRAINER AIR VENT Werner Finley Immersion Type Chiller ! Complete coil to be immersed in fluid. ! Electrical float switch is a must. ! Stirrer for larger tank is a must for agitation. ! Lifting arrangement is a must for periodic coil cleaning. NOTE: SOFT WATER OR DM WATER CAN BE USED AS THE FLUID. PEROIDIC CLEANING OF TANK AND REFILLING OF FRESH WATER ISAMUST. FLUID CONTAMINATION CAN LEAD TO PUMP FAILURE, FREEZING OF HEAT EXCHANGERS & EVENTUALLY COMPRESSOR FAILURE.

Yes/No. 10 Sufficient space for attending electrical panel? Yes/No. 10 Werner Finley START UP AND OPERATION NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE CHILLER UNTILL THE FOLLOWING CHECKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETE. ! With mains disconnected, check all electrical connections in control panel. All though all connections are tightened at factory, they might have loosened up during shipment, which may cause system to malfunction. ! Check the actual line voltage to the unit to make sure it is the same as specified on the chiller specification plate within _+10% and that the phase voltage imbalance does not exceed 2%. Verify that adequate power supply & capacity is available to meet the required load. % Of Voltage imbalance 100 x Max. Voltage deviation from average average voltage The maximum voltage deviation in the largest difference between a voltage measurement across two legs and the average across all three legs. EXAMPLE a) Supply voltage is 415V Voltage across - 3PH-50 Hz RY - 410 V YB - 419 V BR - 405 V - 411.33 V Average b) Maximum deviation from average voltage RY = 1.33V; YB = 7.6V; BR = 6.33 V Hence Max. deviation is 7.6 V c) % voltage imbalance = 100 x 7.67UU 411.33 which is less than the allowable 10% imbalance. 11 = 1.86% Werner Finley ! Make sure that all interlock wiring is as per the wiring diagram provided in the control panel pouch. ! Check lubrication oil level in the compressor sight glass. The oil level before start up should be at least 1/3 of the sight glass. ! Now turn the main switch on, this will energize the crankcase heater. (Crankcase heater is available on models above 4 TR capacity) NOTE: Crankcase heaters have to operate at least 12 hrs prior to start up. Crankcase should be warm. ! In units that have suction, discharge valve on compressor and liquid line hand shut off valve, check for them to be in open condition. ! Check all liquid line valves and keep them open. Now switch on pump and check for leakage in pump & pipeline. ! Set the required flow & pressure by using the balancing valves at the discharges, by pass & return line. Measure the flow using a graduated vessel & ensure it is inline with the system requirement. START-UP & OPERATION: ! Please check whether all the MCB/MPCB are in on condition. Now once the proper flow is assured by switching on the pump, then turn on the switches for the compressor & fan simultaneously. ! The fluid temperature is now sensed & if it is higher than the set point, the comp & fan will start to operate & the crankcase heater will turn off automatically. ! Once again check the setting of the OLR, HP, LP & AFT switches for correctness. 12 Werner Finley ! Now the compressor will work to bring down the fluid temperature to the set point. Once the fluid temperature reaches set point, the compressor & fan will cut off and the pump will still be in operation. ! Again as the fluid gains temperature & raises equivalent to the set differential, the signal is taken up by the delay timer, after a preset delay of 3 minutes, the compressor & fan again cuts in to lower the fluid temperature. ! While unit is fully loaded, check suction pressure, discharge pressure, comp/fan/pump current and compressor shell temp. ! Should you face any problem, refer to the chapter on trouble shooting. EMERGENCY STOP ! Turn off the rotary switch during such situations ! Stop on weekend or temporary shut down. ! Switch off the circuit breakers in the control panel & keep the main switch on during such shutdowns. ! Extended shut down: In larger units where there is a liquid line hand shut off valve, close the valve, run the system & monitor the suction discharge pressure through gauges. Allow all the gas to pump down to the condenser side & switch off the unit. Now close the suction discharge valves in the compressor, close the liquid isolation valves as well. ! To start the unit again, follow the steps from START UP. NOTE: Crankcase heaters have to operate at least for 12 hrs before start up & the crankcase should be warm. Open all valves before starting 13 Werner Finley SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR LIQUID CHILLERS ITEMS Step 1 Initial checks ACTIONS REMARKS a) Check all electrical connections are tight. b) Check the supply voltage is within permissible limits. c) Check the entire refrigerant & liquid circuit valves are open. d) Check oil level in oil sight glass. e) Check flow across evaporator. f) Check compressor shell temperature. b) Shall be within 10% Step 2 Sequence of starting a) Check all safety interlocks b) Start pump & liquid flow. c) Start the unit as recommended in unit startup section b) Check pressures at pump discharge & measure flow. Step 3 Observation a) After steady operation at design condition, see that the refrigerant pressures are stabilized. b) Take all readings like comp. Suction & discharge pressures, comp/fan/pump current, comp shell temp, pump flow & pressure, air flow across condenser, etc. c) Periodical oil level check. d) Abnormal noise & vibration. e) Vibration of refrigeration and liquid pipelines. f) No switch gear components are running hot. Step 4 Stopping a) Turn off the circuit switch. b) Check for oil return in crankcase. c) Close all valves if required. 14 d) Should be 1/3rd or 1/2 the sight glass. c) Oil level should be between ½ & 1/3 of sight glass. e) Arrest all vibrations. a) It is not advisable to switch off the whole unit in one go. So use the individual circuit breakers in the panel & switch off the comp, fan, and then pump in the same order & then turn of the main switch. Werner Finley REFRIGERATION A liquid whose Saturation temperature at normal atmospheric pressure is below the temperature that is to be produced by refrigeration is chosen as the working liquid in the refrigerator and is known as refrigerant. Such a liquid will evaporate at lower temperatures and will absorb heat as it does so. This heat is extracted from the surroundings. The vapour formed in this way is compressed in a compressor. After compression the refrigerant may be in the vapour state or, in the liquid state if its temperature after compression is not greater than the saturation temperature at that increased pressure. The low temperature vapor is condensed in a condenser. As a result of condensation in the condenser, it gives off the heat in the condenser, in doing so it lowers its temperature below the surroundings. Now the condensed liquid is expanded to a lower pressure and the cycle of refrigeration is repeated. VAPOUR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATOR 15 Werner Finley REFRIGERATION CYCLE 1. Compressors are used in vapour compression cycles. It is the heart of the system and it sucks low-pressure refrigerant vapour from the evaporator and compresses it to a pressure corresponding to the saturation temperature that will be higher than the air available to condense the refrigerant. The compressor also aids to continuously re-circulate the refrigerant through the system. 2. Air-cooled condensers are heat exchangers, which reject heat from the condensing refrigerant to the atmosphere. The function of condenser in a refrigerated system is to de-superheat and condense the compressed discharge refrigerant vapour. Highspeed fans are mostly used to speed up the process. 3. At the exit of the condenser the refrigerant loses temperature but still is in highpressure state. The temperature falls down a little high to the ambient. 4. Dryers are mainly used to capture the moisture content if any mixed with the refrigerant. When the refrigerant passes through its thin filter mesh the moisture gets trapped on the silica gel and clean refrigerant flows through. 5. Throttle valve (also called as Expansion valve) is also a very important component of the vapour compression refrigeration system. The function of an expansion device is to expand the liquid refrigerant from the condensing pressure to the evaporating pressure. Also it throttles the required flow into the evaporator depending on the load conditions. Commonly used expansion devices are capillary tubes, thermostatic expansion valves and constant pressure expansion valves. 6. Any liquid when evaporates creates a cooling effect. Same applies here, when the refrigerant exits expansion valve it is partly in vapour state at low temperature and pressure. It flows through the evaporator and exchanges heat with the surroundings. 7. After exiting the evaporator it has gained heat from the surrounding media, thus lowering the temperature in the freezing compartment. This superheated vapour passes further and is drawn by the compressor, which compresses it, and delivers to condenser, thus, completing the refrigeration cycle. 16 Werner Finley STANDARD CONTROLS ![HP] HIGH PRESSURE This is a manual reset type pressure controlled electromechanical device used as a safety cutout against high discharge pressure of the refrigerant. The reset button is located on the HP/LP switch. 2. [LP] LOW PRESSURE This is an automatic reset type pressure controlled electromechanical device used as safety cutout against low suction pressure. The unit trips & resets automatically till the pressure completely drops below the desired level. 3. OILPRESSURE [COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION] In larger semi hermetic compressors there is an in-built oil pump assistant for the lubrication of the compressor. There is an oil pressure cutout switch that senses the discharge pressure of this pump & the suction pressure of the compressor & opens the compressor motor power circuit in case of a trip. The reset in this cause is done manually. 4. THERMISTOR TRIP In compressors above 5TR, the compressor motor is embeded with temperature sensor. As the motor winding temperature, exceeds the permissible limits the thermistor cuts out the power supply to the compressor motor. The reset is automatic, for which the motor has to cool naturally. As the compressor cuts off, there is an indication on the panel that remains glowing until the auto reset happens. 5. [SPP] SINGLE PHASE PREVENTER This device safeguards the chiller from: Single phasing, phase reverse & voltage imbalance. Under or over voltage ± 10%. 17 Werner Finley 6. ANTIFREEZE TRIP This is a manual reset type thermostat. As the liquid temperature falls below safety set point, the thermostat trips the compressor & the liquid pump. The reset button is located on the thermostat itself. 7. [OLR] OVER LOAD RELAYTRIP All the motors of the compressor, fan & liquid pump are wired through an over load relay. As the respective motor draws higher than the set current value, the OLR trips off the motor & an indication is generated on the panel. 8. WATER LEVELLOW In chillers with in-built tank the float switch aids in maintaining an optimum level in the tank. The whole system comes to a halt as the water level goes low and an indication on the reset push button is generated on the panel. As the water level is made up & the reset button is pushed, the chiller resumes its operation. 9. FLOW SWITCH TRIP In chillers, where flow switch is installed in the liquid circuit, the whole system trips as a lack of adequate flow.An indication is generated on the panel and resets automatically when flow is initiated. 18 Werner Finley TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM Sl.No. 01 02 Unit not switching ON SPP trip POSSIBLE CAUSE ACTION > MCB/OLR are kept off when the unit is dispatched.

When operating this equipment, use judgement and safety precautions to avoid damage to equipment, property or injury to personnel. Be sure that you understand and follow the safety precautions. NOTE: ONLY TRAINED, QUALIFIED INSTALLERS AND SERVICE METCHANICS SHOULD INSTALL, START-UP AND SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT. SOME OF THE SAFETY TIPS: GENERAL: 1. DO NOT CLIMB over the chiller and DO NOT STEP on refrigerant lines. Broken lines can release high-pressure refrigerant and cause injury to personnel. 2. NEVER SHORT-CIRCUIT any controls in the system. 3. Care in HANDLING & RIGGING; check weight, use appropriate lifting equipment, use lifting hooks, or use base frame for lifting equipment. 4. PERIODICALLY INSPECT all valves, fittings, and piping for corrosion, leaks and damages. 5. Drain liquid completely before loosening or attending to liquid lines. 21 Werner Finley PRESSURE TEST 1. Use only dry Nitrogen. Use a regulating valve with pressure gauge. 2. DO NOT USE OXYGEN orACETYLENE, both could cause explosion. 3. HANDLE THE CYLINDERS VERY carefully. 4. NEVER EXCEED 300 PSI during pressure testing the equipment. REFRIGERANT 1. DO NOT VENT refrigerant in closed room as it could displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation. As per ASHRAE Std 15, refrigerant to be vented out in the open or through the ventilator in the plant room. 2. Though R22/R134a/R407c/404a are non-toxic, spillage of liquid refrigerant on skin & eyes could cause severe damage to the tissue. Use safety goggles and gloves. In case of refrigerant burn on skin flush with cold water immediately. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES with water. Consult a physician immediately. 3. DO NOT WELD or FLAME CUT any refrigerant line before completing evacuating the refrigerant from the system. Dry Nitrogen to be used to flush final traces of Refrigerant and place to be well ventilated. Refrigerant with open flame produces toxic gases. 4. CHECK REFRIGERANT TYPE before charging into the system. In case of wrong charge, the system could get damaged or malfunctioning could occur. 5. NEVER HEAT refrigerant cylinder with open flame, ONLY use warm water (43) to heat cylinder. 22 Werner Finley Electrical: 1. DO NOT WORK ON HIGH VOLTAGE equipment unless you are a qualified electrician. 2. DO NOT WORK ON electrical components, including control panels, switches, starters or oil heaters unit you are sure ALL POWER IS OFF & NO RESIDUAL VOLTAGE can leak from capacitors or solid state components. 3. Lock OPEN & TAG electrical circuits during servicing IF WORK IS INTERRUPTED, confirm that all circuits are de-energized before resuming work. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE A conscientiously administered and maintenance program will enhance the value of the package chiller by: ! Increasing the life of the unit. ! Assuring the proper operation without costly shutdown at critical times. ! Minimizing the repair cost. ! Assuring operation of the chiller at maximum efficiency. ! Under normal conditions, the package chiller will require nothing more than periodic thorough visual inspection to assure operation at maximum performance. Qualified personnel shall handle maintenance and inspection only. If the operator has limited refrigeration and electrical knowledge, he should confine his maintenance of the equipment to periodic inspection, cleaning of filter and condenser coils only. 23 Werner Finley TIPS FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE To ensure proper unit operation and to avoid damage to unit components, follow periodic inspection set up. ! Maintain log book and record essential readings like ambient temperature, liquid temperature, current, suction / discharge pressure, fluid pressure etc. ! Maintain history of parts used with date and reason for replacement. ! Check oil level to be close to 1/3 of the oil sight glass in the compressor. ! Clean condenser / dust filter often & keep it free for good airflow. ! Clean filter / Y Strainer in liquid circuit often & keep it free from contamination. ! In case of coil type evaporator, clean coil with water jet & keep free from scaling rd & contamination. ! In case of shell & tube type evaporator, during break down or other maintenance schedule, cleaning can be done by circulating de-scaling agents, before restarting the unit. ! In case of PHE type evaporator, reverse flush the unit & circulate cleaning agent & ensure to flush it with water before restarting. ! Ensure to maintain good liquid quality at all times. ! Ensure the use of genuine refrigeration parts in the chiller. ! Never close valves during unit in operation. ! Tighten the cables & electrical connections every month. Study the wiring diagram before attending the electrical panel. ! If liquid back flood occurs in compressor, do not run the compressor. Investigate & rectify the defects. CAUTION: ALWAYS DE-ENERGIZE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL, BEFORE ATTENDINGTOANY PROBLEM. 24 Werner Finley RECOMMENDED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE: Sl.

The warranty is void if the wiring is not as per WFPL specification. ! The warranty is void if any setting for protection devices are altered. ! The warranty is void if any kind of mishandling of the unit is observed. ! A blown circuit breaker / fuse or tripped protector indicates a short ground or overload. ! Before replacing the device or restarting the compressor, the cause must be found & corrected. ! Unqualified tampering with the controls can cause serious damage to the equipment and void the warranty. ! All safety trips should be immediately attended and ensured that the unit runs only after rectification. Do not reset the safety trip unless complete failure cause is detected & repaired. 25 Werner Finley SERVICE ! Chiller Cleaning Remove all the doors [except the electrical cabin] of the chiller. Regularly clean dust depositions and ensure no contamination of the fabricated body with rust or water accumulation. ! Electrical Cabin Vacuum the cabin dust free. Do not use compressed air, moisture contents can damage the components. Ensure for loose contacts. ! Condenser Cleaning The dust filter and condenser to be kept free from dust to enable good air movement through the condenser. Use soft nylon brush & cleaning agents that do not damage the copper tubes & aluminium fins. A gentle jet of compressed air can also be used for condenser cleaning, ensuring no damage or bending of fins. ! Evaporator Cleaning Coil type evaporator can be cleaned using water jet and nylon brush. Shell & tube evaporator can be flushed with dilute caustic soda solution & should be refreshed with water. ! Strainer Cleaning The liquid line strainer to be cleaned often to retain optimum flow across the evaporator. ! Liquid Quality The liquid passing through the chiller shall not contain particle impurity, sludge, etc., purity & filtration level of liquid is very critical. 26 Werner Finley REFRIGERATION LINE SERVICE Refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, choked drier/filter are common problems that occur in refrigeration. Intensive care should be observed while rectifying such kind of problems. Refrigerant Leak: ! Release the remaining refrigerant from the system. ! Pressurize the circuit with dry nitrogen up to 300 PSI. ! Use an electronic leak detector or soap solution to detect the leak. Arresting the Leak: ! If the leak is in flair joints, the joint should be completely replaced. ! Assure no cracks in the copper line, if present replace with new copper pipe of same diameter. ! Flare the line, apply teflon tape & redo. ! If there is leak in the brazing joints, mark the area & release the nitrogen pressure. ! If elbows or U-bends are cracked, replace with new. ! If weak brazing observed, rework the joint. ! Now once again recharge the system with dry nitrogen. ! Check whether the leak has been positively arrested. ! In doubtful cases, leave the system under 300 PSI of Nitrogen overnight & check for pressure retention after 12 hours. ! On confirmation release the nitrogen & subject the system for vacuuming. Vacuuming ! Use a good quality vacuum pump especially designed for refrigeration. ! Run the vacuum pump till the gauge reads 29 PSI below 0 PSI in the vacuum gauge. ! If the power is interrupted to the vacuum pump while in process, restart again. ! Close the valve of the refrigeration line before switching off the vacuum pump. 27 Werner Finley Charging the Refrigerant ! Shut down your equipment/machine while gas charging in progress. ! Connect the charging tube between the suction service valve & refrigerant cylinder. ! Remove the trapped air, by purging some refrigerant across the tube. ! Without switching on the unit, idle charge the system till the pressure equalizes. ! Before switching on the unit, ensure the fluid is at room temperature. ! Switch on the unit and consistently observe the current drawn by the compressor. ! Slowly charge the refrigerant by monitoring discharge / suction pressures & compressor current. ! Touch and feel the compressor shell for overheating. ! Ensure the flow of the fluid through the evaporator. ! Once the required liquid temperature matches to that of the rated suction/discharge pressures & compressor current, stop the charging. ! Close the refrigerant cylinder valve and the service valve. ! Apply soap water for leak detection on the valves. ! Observe optimum efficiency of the unit. Compressor replacement: ! Evacuate the refrigerant present in the line. ! Cut the suction / discharge copper line or open the service valves on the compressor. ! Seal the compressor & the refrigeration lines. ! Replace the defective compressor, connect the suction/discharge lines & follow the procedure for leak detection, vacuuming & charging of the refrigerant. Always replace a new filter/drier along with the new compressor. Choked Filter/Drier ! Shut down the system, and close the inlet/outlet valves to the filter. ! Loosen or cut open the lines & replace new filter/drier. ! Release the trapped air by purging out the refrigerant across the filter. ! While replacing the compressor or recharging with refrigerant, it is recommended to replace a new filter/drier. 28 Werner Finley NOTE: ! Disconnect mains while compressor changing & gas charging procedure. ! Use gas reclamation unit or cylinder dipped in ice bucket to retrieve refrigerant. ! Use refrigerant pressure/temperature chart while charging. ! Use calibrated pressure gauges. ! Read safety instructions before servicing. ! Use original spare parts only. ! Maintain record for each service. ! Do not over charge / under charge the system. ! Always take up service by bringing working fluid to room temperature else moisture will enter the refrigeration system. ! Check oil quantity & replace during service. ! Always use dry nitrogen for pressure testing. ! Use a regulating valve for the nitrogen cylinder. ! If water has entered the system, thorough nitrogen flushing & extensive vacuuming is necessary. ! Leak testing of R22/ R134a, R407c/R404a can be done with refrigerant charge also, as the standing pressure of the refrigerant is very much above the atmospheric pressure. ! Try to retrieve the refrigerant as much as possible. 29 Werner Finley TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER SETTING MAIN FUNCTIONS : HOW TO SEE THE SETPOINT SET 1.
