1
Chiller basics With Phil Rodin
2
Things to check when chiller is not running or is in alarm
3
Alarm showing water flow, pumps both chilled and condenser water types of flow switches
5
Alarm showing water flow, pumps both chilled and condenser water types of paddle switches
6
Alarm showing water flow, pumps both chilled and condenser water types of electronic flow switches Electronic flow switches have probes
7
Alarm Conditions High Pressure 1. Low water flow 2. Cooling tower 3. Strainers (locations?) 4. Valves (electric or manual types) 5. The entering and leaving water temp. 6. Approach temp

Alarm conditions
12
Alarm conditions Chilled water flow 1. Pumps 2. Strainers 3. Valves (manual and electric) 4. Flow switches 5. Water temp in and out 6. Approach temp
13
Alarm conditions Chilled water flow (cont.) PRV
14
What is the oil temperature? 1. Feel the tank or read with inferred. 2. Check control panel 3. Check for power 4. Think out of the box, How can we heat this?

17
Chiller barrel
18
Enhanced tubes
19
Inside and outside tubes
20
Vapor to liquid
21

22
What is the oil temperature? (cont.)
23
Pressure & Temp. Gauges (electronic)
24
Pressure & Temp. Gauges (fluid type)
25
Chiller Surging ASK YOURSELF????? 1. Is it a high or low end surge? 2. Are your amps going up or down? 3. The sound? a. Is it an elephant b. Is it a grumble
26
Chiller Surging (High & Low Surging) High Surge on Low Pressure Machines 1. Water temp. in and out. 2. Approach 3. Cooling Tower 4. Purge 5. Refrigerant levels
27
Chiller Surging (High & Low Surging)
28
Cooling Towers
29
Chiller Surging (High & Low Surging)
32
Chiller Surging (capacity control)
33
Chiller Capacity Control
34
Low End Surge 1. Water temp. In and out 2. Approach Temp. 3. Water pressure 4. Refrigerant levels
35
Low End Surge
37
Transducers & Sensors Types
39
Panel Codes 1. Carrier code 1111 2. York code 9675 aka YORK 3. Trane code ++--++ (different combinations)
40
How’s the Chiller Running? Is the chiller running in local? Is the chiller running in EMS? Are the pumps running? Are the valves open? Hand –off Auto (Think before going to hand)
41
Cavitation of Pumps 1. Strainers 2. Water pressures 3. Couplings 4. Valves 5. Primary or Secondary Loop
42
Questions (There is no such thing as a dumb question) ?
