1.1 Brief Introduction to the Refrigeration Principles
The vapor compression refrigeration cycle comprises of four processes namely compression, condensing, throttling
and evaporating. The four processes of the refrigeration cycle are given as follows:
Compression process: After the refrigerant vapor in the evaporator is sucked into the centrifugal compressor, the
prime mover (usually a motor) applies energy to it through the compressor impeller to increase the pressure & temperature
of the refrigerant vapor and enters the condenser.
Condensing process: high temperature and high pressure refrigerant vapor from the compressor emits heat into the
cooling water in the tube in the condenser and condenses into liquid. At this point, the temperature of the cooling water
rises due to the heat taken from the refrigerant vapor. Condensing temperature (condensing pressure) is directly related to
the temperature of cooling water.
Throttling process: When flowing through the throttling orifice, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant
liquid from the bottom of the condenser will expand under reduced pressure, decreasing in both pressure and temperature,
and become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture to enter the evaporator.
Evaporating process: Low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant (such as cold water)
in the evaporator and evaporates into gas, and at the same time, the temperature of the coolant is reduced, thus realizing
artificial refrigeration. The refrigerant vapor in the evaporator is sucked into the compressor for compression, and the
above compression, condensing, throttling and evaporating processes are repeated. This goes round and round to achieve
continuous cooling.
The refrigerating capacity is proportional to the suction flow of the compressor. Therefore, an adjustable guide vane
adjusting mechanism is installed at the inlet of the centrifugal compressor to control the air flow direction and suction flow
into the compressor, thus realizing stepless adjustment of refrigeration capacity within a certain range.
The main structural components of the above refrigeration cycle includes the main motor, compressor, evaporator,
condenser and throttling device, which are also the main structural components of the Manufacture centrifugal chiller.

1.3 Lubricating System
The lubricating system of TWCF series units consists of oil pump, oil filter, oil cooler, high-level oil tank and
intermediate pipeline. The lubricating oil in the oil tank of the compressor is pressurized by the oil pump which enters the
oil cooler through the oil filter. After being cooled to a certain temperature in the oil cooler, the lubricating oil enters the
high-level oil tank and is finally supplied to each bearing through the oil supply pipeline inside the compressor.

The pressure & temperature of the oil system are crucial to the safe operation of the unit. After lubricating oil enters
the bearing under the action of pressure difference, an oil film is formed between the shaft and the bearing to support the
operation of the shaft and prevent direct friction between the shaft and the bearing. The viscosity of the oil is inversely
proportional to the oil temperature, so it is necessary to restrict the temperature of the lubricating oil to a suitable
temperature to ensure that it will not increase the friction force too much while providing sufficient supporting force.
Appropriate oil temperature can also prevent poor oil performance resulting from too much refrigerant dissolving into
lubricating oil.
The normal range of oil supply pressure difference is given as follows: 220 kPa to 300 kPa in the process of unit
startup. This pressure difference is intended to ensure that the shaft can form a stable oil film at low speed during unit
4
1 Introduction to the Unit and the System
startup. After the main motor is started, the oil supply pressure difference should be within 120 kPa to 220 kPa.
The oil supply pressure difference is adjusted through an oil pressure regulating valve. The steps are as follows:
1. Remove the valve cap of the regulating valve and slowly rotate the valve stem. Clockwise rotation increases the
pressure difference, anticlockwise rotation reduces the pressure difference. Rotate 1 turn at a time, then observe the change
in oil supply pressure difference, and make another adjustment once the oil pressure is stable.
2. After adjusting the oil supply pressure difference to the normal range (it is recommended to adjust it to 240 ~ 270
kPa in standby state), observe it for 15 seconds and re install the valve cap after confirming its stable value.
3. If the oil supply pressure difference has been adjusted to the recommended value in standby mode, the lubricating
oil will flow under the drive of the shaft after the unit is started, and the oil pressure will automatically drop to the normal
range in operation mode.
Warning
There are discharge pipes and motor terminals around the oil pressure regulating valve. Do not adjust
the oil pressure when the unit is running under non-emergency conditions. Otherwise, attention should be
paid to the high noise and temperature of the discharge pipes and the high voltage of the terminals, which
may cause injury to the body!
Attention
When rotating the oil pressure regulating valve to adjust the oil pressure during the operation of the
unit, adjust slowly while observing the change in oil pressure difference. Avoid large fluctuation of oil
pressure difference caused by adjustments made too fast.
In the running state, the oil supply temperature after it passes through the oil cooler is between 35℃ and 52℃.
When the unit is shut down, the temperature of the oil tank is automatically adjusted by the electric heater. When the
unit is running, the oil supply temperature is adjusted by adjusting the amount of cooling liquid in the oil cooler.
1.4 Motor/Lubricating Oil Cooling System
The motor and lubricating oil are cooled by refrigerant liquid coming from the bottom of the condenser. When the
unit is running, the pressure of the condenser is always higher than that of the motor cavity and the oil cooler. The
refrigerant flows under this pressure difference and reaches the cooled components through the cooling liquid pipeline.
Flow path 1: Refrigerant liquid is divided into two parts after it passes through the cut-off valve and filter. One part is
sent to the tail end of the motor to cool the rotor and stator of the motor. The other part is sent to the middle of the motor
casing to cool the motor stator.
Flow path 2: Refrigerant liquid passes through the cut-off valve and filter, then passes through the regulating valve
and then enters the oil cooler to cool the lubricating oil.

1 Introduction to the Unit and the System
The amount of liquid supplied to the stator and rotor of the motor has been set by Manufacture before the unit leaves
the factory. Generally, it does not need to be adjusted by the user. However, if there is a warning of overheating of the
motor winding during the operation of the unit, the user may, in addition to timely feedback to the Manufacture after-sales
service department, appropriately turn up the regulating valves distributed on the casing tail end of the motor and observe
whether the unit alarm is released.
Warning
When operating the motor cooler spray regulating valve, necessary protective measures should be
taken to prevent the risk of an electric shock.
The cooling liquid volume of the oil cooler is automatically adjusted by the electronic liquid valve according to the
oil supply temperature. The oil cooler is a plate heat exchanger, into which the cooling liquid enters, evaporates and
absorbs the heat from the lubricating oil. If the oil supply temperature exceeds 52℃ during the operation of the unit, the
opening extent of the liquid regulating valve of the large oil cooler can be gradually turned up. After each adjustment,
observe the change in the oil supply temperature of the unit, and then decide whether or not to continue to turn up the
opening extent of the regulating valve according to this change.
Attention
Too large an opening extent of the regulating valve will make the refrigerant unable to evaporate in
the motor cavity, causing a poor cooling effect. Therefore, when the motor temperature is on the high side,
the adjustment of the liquid valve is not as large as possible. Find a suitable opening extent after
observation and adjustment.

Fig. 1.7 Schematic Diagram of the Pipeline Connection of the Automatic Oil Return Device
The automatic oil return device is powered by two Venturi nozzles. The front and rear of the Venturi nozzles are
respectively connected to the high-pressure gas and the oil tank at the bottom of the condenser or volute. The resulting
injection force sucks the lubricating oil accumulated in the evaporator back to the oil tank. The oil return effect can be
observed through the sight glass at the outlet of the Venturi nozzle (when the automatic oil return device works normally,
liquid refrigerant can be seen boiling and evaporating in the sight glass cavity).
Under the automatic oil return mode, adjust all valves according to Table 1.1, and the device can automatically suck
lubricating oil back to the oil tank.

2 Unit Control System (PCD Series)
When the unit is in automatically operated the energy regulation loading/unloading should be determined by the
following principles:
Current Priority Control: To prevent the main motor from running over current, the main motor current priority
control is adopted in this control system. If the main motor current reaches the rated current during the operation of the
unit, the unit will not carry out energy regulation loading. If the current of the main motor reaches 105% of the rated
current, energy regulation will be automatically unloaded to reduce the current of the main motor to the rated current. If
the current reaches 110% of the rated current, the unit will automatically shut down.
Attention
To prevent the main motor from long-term overload operation, the "Current Priority Control"
function is valid in any energy regulating mode! Therefore, even in the "Manual" control mode, when the
main motor current is fully loaded, the opening extent of inlet guide vane still cannot be turned up.
Surge limit control: To prevent the unit from surging due to too small of an opening extent of the guide vane, the unit
is provided with a surge limit for the opening extent of the guide vane (the default opening extent is 10%), and when the
opening extent of the guide vane reaches this value, it cannot be turned down again (the energy regulation fails to
implement loading).
Unit fault control: When some unit malfunctions, the limit of energy regulation control will be triggered, at which
time the energy regulation of the unit will act according to the system treatment measures for the malfunction.
Load (chilled water temperature) control: Under the above conditions, if the chilled water outlet temperature is less
than the target value, automatic unloading is implemented; otherwise, automatic loading is implemented until the water
temperature meets the target demand.

maintenance space should be left around the unit (see the following figure for specific dimensions).
Table 3.1 Dimension of Maintenance Space for TWCF Series Centrifugal Chillers
the unit M T Y S Z
6. To facilitate the lifting and maintenance of the machine, do install a bridge crane or derrick car, and make sure the
room has enough height.
7. The area around the unit and the whole machine room should be able to achieve complete drainage.
3.1.2 Site Confirming
To make necessary preparations in advance and make the installation correct, quick and work safe, the following
conditions should be confirmed in advance with relevant constructors:
1. Installation site: Confirm whether it meets the requirements of 3.1.1.
2. Move-in hole: Confirm its size, height and lifting allowance, and remove the move-in obstacles.
3. Move-in sequence: Confirm the move-in method and move-in sequence are according to the installation site
conditions and equipment to be installed.
4. Move-in path: Remove the obstacles hindering handling from the move-in path.
3.1.3 Foundation Construction
Make sure the rotor of Manufacture Centrifugal Chillers refrigeration compressor undergoes strict static balance and
dynamic balance, and its residual centroid skewing is below 0.001mm; Therefore, its dynamic load on the foundation is
47
3 Unit Use
very small, and static load (please refer to Appendix 1 to this manual for the static load amount of the unit) can only be
considered for the unit foundation.
To prevent the corrosion of the unit footing, it is required that the area around the unit shall allow good drainage, and
the foundation plane corresponding to the machine-base steel plate shall be smooth and flat. The specific requirements are:
1. The maximum height difference (levelness) between each foundation surface should be less than 3mm.
2. To facilitate the refrigerator maintenance/inspection, the foundation height should be greater than 100mm.
3. Drainage ditches should be set up around the refrigeration unit.
3.1.4 Move-in Construction
1. Inspection of machines reaching the site: When unpacking, check the appearance of machines reaching the site and
the accessories for damages, and the delivered quantities should be checked according to the "Packing List" to see if there
are any missing pieces.
2. Lifting: To lift up the unit, the wirerope should be hung in the lifting holes in tube plate of the machine, and the
load should be evenly distributed; Take care not to damage the accessories (see Fig. 3.2).
(1) Lift up the unit horizontally as far as possible.
(2) Inclined lifting/handling is an important cause for damages to the unit. When the unit has to be tilted and lifted,
the maximum allowable inclination angle of the unit is 20° and should be carefully taken care of.
(3) In case the machine is impacted, the bearings may be damaged and the shaft may be bent, thus shortening the
service life of the machine. Therefore, great care should be taken to prevent the machine from being impacted during
handling.
(4) When the unit is transported by rollers, the unit should be prevented from turnover.
3. Unit disassembly and hoisting construction: In order not to damage the sealing performance of the unit, it is better
for the unit to reach the site as a whole. If disassembly is required before it reaches the site due to the limitation of site
location, the following points should be noted:
(1) Remove the compressor and the motor as a whole from the evaporator-condenser, and hoist them according to the
main points given in the lifting diagram of the compressor unit shown in Fig. 3.3.
(2) The evaporator-condenser hoisting should be carried out according to the overall hoisting essentials shown in Fig.
3.2.
(3) The shorter the exposure time during hoisting and after disassembly, the better, as the residual refrigerant in the
unit will cause corrosion inside the unit after the exposure to air.

3.1.6 Water Piping Construction
Warning
Before the construction of the water piping, the user should first complete the cleaning of and pressure
test on the water system, and it can only be connected to the unit after being confirmed as qualified.
Otherwise, impurities in the system could enter into the unit and block or damage the heat exchange tubes!
The construction of water piping shall be carried out according to the general drawing of Centrifugal Chillers.
Connect the water system pipeline to the unit through flange according to the pipe size indicated in the general drawing.
Please refer to the following for the installation of some necessary parts on the water pipeline.
Attention
To carry out the construction of water piping, supports should be erected along the pipeline to prevent
the unit from bearing the weight of this section.
Pressure gauge installation:
The pressure gauge should be installed on the straight pipe section of the pipeline near the water chamber, and its
installation point should be at least one pipe diameter away from the upstream and downstream components (such as
elbows, water valves and the like) that may generate turbulence.
Pressure gauges shall be installed on the water inlet and outlet pipelines of the evaporator and condenser of the unit.
The pressure gauges should be connected to the pipelines through buffer bends, which is helpful to judge the state of the
waterway system.
Filter installation:
A filter is installed on the inlet pipeline of each water chamber to prevent sundries from entering the water chamber
and block the pipeline or cause damage to the water chamber.
Warning
A filter should be installed on the water inlet pipe of the unit!
Installation of water valve:
It is recommended to install shut-off valves before and after parts (e. g. filters, water pumps and the like) that may
need to be replaced on the water pipelines, so as to save time and amount of work for their replacement.
Installation of flexible damping joint:
A flexible joint is installed on the pipeline to prevent the vibration of the unit from being transmitted to the pipe
network, and also to prevent the vibration of the water pump and the unit from overlapping each other and affect the
service life of the pipeline.
Attention
Secondary motor should not be used for the water pump on the pipeline to avoid resonance with the
unit.
Installation of cooling tower bypass circuit:
When the external temperature is relatively low and the unit needs to be used, to ensure the normal operation of the
cooling system of the unit with sufficient pressure difference between the condenser and the evaporator, it is recommended
that the user install a bypass circuit on the water inlet pipe of the cooling tower of the unit. The schematic diagram is as
follows:
51
3 Unit Use
To the condenser
Fig. 3.5 Installation Diagram of Bypass Circuit for the Cooling Tower
Where, the three-way valve with temperature control should be able to implement the following functions:
(1) When the temperature of unit cooling water is low, the three-way valve shall be able to control the opening
extent so that the cooling water inlet temperature is greater than 15℃.
(2) On the premise that the conditions mentioned above are satisfied, the three-way valve shall be able to control the
opening extent so that the inlet temperature of cooling water is as small as possible to save energy.
3.1.7 Relief Valve Discharge Pipe
The relief valve is a component used to protect the unit. When the pressure in the evaporator or condenser of the unit
exceeds the rated discharge pressure, the relief valve will open. With the loss of refrigerant, the pressure in the unit will
drop. To install a discharge pipe for the relief valve, the following matters should be noted:
1. The connection of pipelines should comply with local laws and regulations.
2. The relief valve discharge pipe should be made of materials compatible with R134a refrigerant. The diameter of the
pipe should be selected according to the size of the relief valve. When the unit uses parallel relief valves, the diameter
should be selected according to the size of the two relief valves.
Table 3.2 Dimensions of Relief Valve Discharge Pipe
Parallel
Installation of relief valve Single
connection
Diameter of discharge pipe mm 25 35
3. Remove the protective cover from the relief valve and connect the discharge port of the relief valve to the outside
as shown in Fig. 3.6. A certain volume should be reserved at the bottom of the pipe for collecting the liquid. The relief
valve and the discharge pipe are connected by threads, and the joint is provided by the user. The thread specification is
G1-1/4.
4. The outdoor outlet of the discharge pipe should be kept far away from the fresh air inlet of the building.

6. Cables of the same specification (same length, same cross-sectional area, same manufacturer) shall be used in parallel.
7. The fixed-frequency compressor has 6 terminal posts. Taking 6*(2*BVR120)+BVR240 as an example, 6 sets of phase
cables and 1 ground cable are required to lead into the terminal box of the compressor.
8. The terminal column of the inverter compressor has been shorted. The customer only needs to lead 3 sets of phase
cables and 1 ground cable to the terminal box of the compressor.
9. Rated voltage of cable for 10kV starter panel: YJV22-8.7/15kV. Cables shall be sheathed steel tape armored cables. For
example, the incoming/outgoing cable of the high voltage starter panel of TWCF 600 is YJV22-3*25, which means 1
3-core cable, each core cable section is 25mm2.
10. The recommended distribution cable for 10kV starter panel is based on the current carrying capacity. In practical
engineering, the final selection of cable should be determined according to the calculation of short-circuit thermal stability
conditions.

3.2.1 Air Tightness Test
Air tightness test should be conducted after the unit is installed or assembled, and the test pressure is 1.15Mpa
(allowable deviation is ±0.05MPa). The test gas should be dry, clean air, nitrogen or other inert gasses. The gas
temperature during the test should not be lower than 5℃.
Warning
Do not use flammable gas or oxygen for air tightness tests! During the test, the unit is in a high
pressure state, and the cut-off valve before the relief valve should be completely closed!
Attention
During the air tightness test, the inside-unit pressure is measured by an external pressure gauge. It is
recommended not to use the pressure sensor on the unit.
The test process goes as follows: Connect the test pressure gauge (double pressure gauge with accuracy of 1.6 grade)
with the unit (connected to the cut-off valve above the condenser), connect the high-pressure gas interface to the
refrigerant charging valve, gradually turn on the gas valve to charge the test gas into the unit after confirmation, so that the
pressure slowly rises, maintain the pressure for 24 hours after the test pressure is reached, and spray foaming agent or soap
water on all connection parts and valves during the pressure maintaining process for checks.
Conforming criteria: After pressure dwelling, the eyeballed pressure gauge reading should not drop, and all
connecting parts shall not leak.
If a pressure drop is found, the leaking part should be identified and marked, and the refrigerant filling valve shall be
opened to remove the pressure in the machine and then the leaking point shall be treated. After the treatment, repeat the
above steps until it is qualified.
Warning
Treatment of leakage points should be carried out after the high-pressure gas inside the unit is
completely released; otherwise, serious personal injury may result!
During the pressure maintaining process, if the atmospheric temperature changes, the measured pressure should be
corrected as follows:

3.2.2 Vacuum Test
Warning
When the inside of the unit is in a vacuum state, it is strictly prohibited to start the main motor and oil
pump motor, conduct insulation test, or withstand voltage test; otherwise, serious safety accidents may be
caused!
First, turn on the refrigerant charging valve to relieve the positive pressure out of the machine. After reaching
atmospheric pressure, turn off the refrigerant charging valve and connect the vacuum pump to the unit. If the vacuum
pump does not have pressure display function, two vacuum pressure gauges with accuracy level 1.6 shall also be
connected to the unit for measuring the internal pressure. Turn on the vacuum pump after it is confirmed to be correct.
Warning
It is forbidden to use pressure the sensor to measure the pressure when the inside of the unit is in
vacuum state (the cut-off valve connected to the sensor is in full closed state); otherwise, the sensor will be
damaged!
Conforming criteria: The absolute pressure in the unit is below 0.3kPa, and the pressure will not rise more than
0.15kPa after pressure dwelling lasts for at least 30min.
Note: If there are significant changes in atmospheric pressure and air temperature at the beginning and end of the
inspection, the measured value of pressure rise should be corrected according to the following calculation method:

unit begins to vaporize. As long as the vaporization process is not finished, the temperature and pressure will remain
constant. Once the vaporization process is over, both pressure and temperature will drop continuously, and finally drop to
an absolute pressure of 0.3kPa; then turn off the vacuum pump.
3. When the above state point is reached, normally, the wet air in the system is thoroughly pumped out. If there is still
some moisture left, vacuum pumping can be carried out once again: Dry nitrogen is filled into the machine to make the
pressure in the machine close to atmospheric pressure. Start the vacuum pump again to vacuumize, so that the temperature
and pressure indicated by the vacuum gauge drop at the same time to the absolute pressure is 0.3kPa.
4. The drying time duration of the unit is related to the following factors: unit size and volume, pumping rate and
efficiency of vacuum pump, ambient temperature and moisture content in the unit. When using the vacuum gauge, it
should be noted that the pressure in the measuring tube of the vacuum gauge should be pumped to the same pressure as
that of the unit.
5. Conduct vacuum test again after the unit is dried. If it is still unqualified, the system has leakage. Vacuum drying
and a vacuum test should be carried out after the leakage is eliminated until it is qualified.
3.2.3 Filling the Lubricating Oil
Centrifugal Chillers use high-grade special ester refrigerator oil synthesized with POE oil base, which can dissolve
R134a. This type of refrigerating machine oil has very strong water absorption. When transporting, storing and using this
type of lubricating oil, it should be sealed to prevent water in the air from entering the oil, which will deteriorate the
lubricating oil, reduce the insulation performance of the oil and increase the corrosiveness inside the unit.
Warning
The exposure time of lubricating oil in the air shall not exceed 15 minutes!
Lubricating oil is charged from the oil charging/discharging valve, and the oil level should be within the range of high
and low sight glass during the operation of the refrigerator.
The filling of lubricating oil should be carried out after the unit passes the vacuum test, and the steps are given as
follows:
1. Keep the inside-machine absolute pressure below 0.3kPa during the vacuum test.
2. Connect one end of the oil filling pipe to the oil filling valve/drain valve (the oil filling valve is located at the
bottom of the oil tank and is a right angle cut-off valve), and insert the other end into the oil container (the oil filling pipe
should be as short as possible).
3. Insert the oil filling pipe into the container first, then turn on the oil filling valve. Lubricating oil is sucked into the
unit under the action of pressure difference.
4. Oil filling quantity: Refer to nameplate of the compressor.
5. After the oil filling amount reaches the specified value (the oil level is at the top of the uppermost sight glass at this
time), turn off the oil filling valve. Too much or too little oil is not conducive to the normal operation of the machine.
6. Mark the current oil level after filling.
3.2.4 Electric Connection Check

of a VFD starter panel) and no residual current at the electrical parts before any operations proceed.
2. Check whether there are scraps (such as metal filings) inside the unit. If yes, remove them and check whether there
is short circuit between phases or between the phase line and grounding cable.
3. Check whether there is dust or corrosive gas around the unit and whether the ambient temperature meets the
requirements.
4. Check whether the internal and external cable connections of the control panel, starter panel, and various electric
devices are correct, all sensors are correctly installed, and connectors are properly connected. Meters and controllers must
be checked and rectified. Damaged parts must be repaired or replaced.
5. Make sure that the factory settings for operation and safety control measures (such as the circuit breaker) are not
altered.
6. Check the starter panel incoming cables and control panel incoming cables L1, L2 and L3. Connect the wires
according to the phase sequence of the power supply. If wires are connected in reverse, correct the direction immediately.
Check the wires between the starter panel and the motor. Make sure the wires are connected according to wiring diagram
and in the right phase sequence.
7. Make sure that there is sufficient creepage distance and electrical clearance between the starter panel cables
(including power cables, bolts, nuts, and washers) and between the cables and case. Make sure the cables are intact.
8. The grounding must be reliable and in accordance with local and national standards.
9. Check whether the user's power distribution panel is equipped with circuit breakers and whether the setting
parameters are correct.
3.2.5 Confirmation before Mechanical Operation
After the filling of lubricating oil is completed, the following inspections and confirmations should be carried out:
1. Install a pressure gauge (capable of detecting vacuum) at the installation position of the oil supply pressure sensor
of the high-level oil tank. Turn on the refrigerant charging valve of the unit to allow the inside-unit pressure to gradually
rise to gauge pressure -0.027MPaꞏG~-0.04 MPaꞏG, and maintain the pressure for mechanical operation.
2. Heat the lubricating oil in the oil tank to above the specified too-low set value of the oil tank temperature.
3. Select "Energy Regulation" on the main interface of the touch screen as manual, conduct loading first till until the
energy regulation state is displayed as " Manual Stop", then conduct unloading till “Manual Stop", repeat the steps for 3-5
times, observe the external structural action of the energy regulation mechanism, and it shall be consistent with the

1. Disconnect the molded case circuit breaker on the starter panel and turn on the air switch in the starter panel.
According to the wiring diagram, connect the switch-on signal input terminal of the starter panel to the outside of the
starter panel with a wire connected in series with an air switch (the following switch-on and switch-off actions for the
starter panel refer to the air switch).
2. Turn on the air switch, check whether the components of the starter panel are operating normally, and disconnect
the air switch after confirming that they are normal.
3. Short circuit the closing signal input terminal of the oil-pump control panel against the wiring diagram. Turn on the
air switch of the oil-pump control panel to start the oil pump. Observe whether the oil supply pressure is stable through the
pressure gauge on the high-level oil tank and its value is between 0.18 MPaꞏG and 0.27 MPaꞏG.
4. Confirm that the oil level of the unit (between the high and low sight glass ) and the oil temperature of the oil tank
are normal (≥ the specified set value of too low oil tank temperature).
5. After confirmation, turn on the molded case breaker on the starter panel, close the starter panel door, turn on the air
switch, and the main motor starts. Turn off the air switch after the main motor rotates for about 1 second. During the idle
rotation of the main motor, check the rotating direction of the main motor from the sight glass at the tail end of the motor.
If it is found that the rotating direction of the main motor is reversed, the main motor should be inched again
according to the above operation steps after the phase sequence of the main motor power supply is changed, so as to
confirm that the steering is correct.
6. After confirming that there are no exceptions, turn on the control panel air switch again to put the unit into
mechanical operation.
The mechanical operation shall not exceed 5 minutes. During this period, make sure that the gyrator has no rubbing
sound, the vibration of each section is less than 0.03mm, and check whether the oil supply pressure can be adjusted to the
specified pressure. After confirmation, disconnect the air switch and the unit stops running. At the same time, check
whether the idle time of the unit is normal.
Warning
Mechanical operation time shall be restricted to below 5 minutes; otherwise, insulation damage may
be caused by excessive motor heating or bearing damage may be caused by too high lubricating oil
temperature!
7. After the mechanical operation is completed, remove the wires and air switches used for short circuiting the closing
signal terminals in the starter panel and the oil-pump control panel.
3.2.7 Charging the Refrigerant

69
3 Unit Use
2. Connect one end of the conduit to the refrigerant charging valve of the evaporator and the other end to the drain
valve of the refrigerant container. The conduit should be as short as possible to reduce the amount of air sucked in and the
loss of refrigerant.
3. Start the water pump to supply water to the evaporator and the condenser, so as to prevent the charged refrigerant
from rapidly evaporating and frost-cracking the heat transfer tubes.
4. Turn on the drain valve of the refrigerant container, unscrew the collar nut on the refrigerant charging valve at the
other end to blow thoroughly the air from the conduit (white refrigerant gas will come out at the collar nut), screw down
the collar nut and then turn on the refrigerant charging valve, and the refrigerant is automatically sucked into the

should be kept in their OFF positions!
Turn off the main air switch of the main-motor starter panel, turn on the air switch of the control section, turn on the
power supply of the control panel, start the oil pump to adjust the oil supply pressure difference, start the unit through the
touch screen, check the working conditions of the chilling pump, cooling pump, cooling tower and main-motor starter
panel, and check them against the unit starting process described in Fig. 2.23 of this manual. The following tests should be
conducted after the main motor has been simulation-started, and about 15 seconds after the energy regulation plus action is
started:
Low oil supply pressure difference: Manually adjust the opening extent of the oil pressure regulating valve, it will
gradually increase so that the oil supply pressure difference is less than 220kPa 15 seconds after the oil pump is started, or
the oil supply pressure difference is less than 100kPa after the main motor is simulated to start, and the corresponding
warning dialog box will pop up on the operation screen.
The oil supply pressure difference is too low: by manually adjusting the opening extent of the oil pressure regulating
valve, gradually turn it up again, so that the oil supply pressure difference lasts less than 200kPa for 120 seconds after the
oil pump is started for 15 seconds or less than 80kPa after the main motor is simulation-started, and the tripping relay is
actuated.
Chilled water outage: Implemented by gradually reducing the chilled water quantity until the flow controller activates

least once every 3 years. In addition, whether to replace the lubricating oil in advance shall be determined according to the
inspection results of the lubricating oil. See the following table for fault inspection indexes for lubricating oil:

withdrawing refrigerant. The specific operations are given as follows
1. Turn off all power supplies to the unit.
2. Turn off the cut-off valves at both ends of the filter clockwise.
3. Unscrew the nut at one end of the filter and collect the out flowing oil in the container.
4. After the oil is drained, remove the nuts from both ends of the filter and remove the oil filter.
Attention
A small amount of oil will remain in the filter. Take it horizontally at removal, and pour the oil into the oil
container.
5. Install the new filter, tighten the nuts at both ends, and thoroughly blow the air in the pipe.
6. When oil flows out from the needle valve, turn off the oil pump, install the needle valve cap quickly, turn on the K1
valve, and check for leakage.
4.2.5 Other Parts of Oil Circuit
Generally speaking, the operation of the oil pump and oil cooler is safe and reliable. Users can choose to disassemble
and inspect these two components during the disassembly and maintenance of the unit. If replacement is really needed,
please contact the after-sales service department of Manufacture to solve the problem.
4.3 Maintenance Methods for the Cooling System
Please refer to section 1.5 of this manual for an introduction to the cooling system of the unit.
The flow power for cooling refrigerant comes from the pressure difference between the condenser and the motor
cavity/oil cooler. A filter is arranged at the front end of the pipeline of the cooling system. Too many impurities in the filter
may result in too high refrigerant flow loss, and the cooling effect may be affected. Therefore, the filter for coolant line
shall be replaced at least once a year. Users shall also pay close attention to the working state of the filter during the
operation of the unit. At the start of the new unit operation, the temperature difference can be felt by touching the copper
tubes before and after the filter (if conditions permit, it can be confirmed by using a temperature meter), and then it can be
confirmed quarterly. If the temperature difference becomes significantly bigger, the filter has too many impurities and can
be replaced. The procedure for replacing the cooling system filter is given as follows:
1. Power off the main motor.
2. Turn off the cut-off valve and ball valve according to Fig. 1.7 of this manual (refer to Fig. 1.8 for non-high-pressure
units).
3. Unscrew slightly the nuts at both ends of the filter to drain the refrigerant out of the pipeline.
Attention
Never fail to wear gloves when you unscrew the filter nut, so as to keep the body parts (especially
hands) as far away from the nut as possible; otherwise, the sprayed liquid refrigerant may contact the skin
and cause frostbite!
4. Remove the filter, install the new filter, and tighten the nuts at both ends.
5. Unscrew the nut of the cut-off valve slightly, turn on the ball valve, and blow the air out of the pipe using
refrigerant.
78
4. Unit Maintenance
Attention
After disassembling and inspecting a certain pipeline of the unit or replacing pipeline components,
after reinstalling the pipeline, the air in the pipeline shall be blowed thoroughly using refrigerant to
prevent air from entering into the system. After installation, use soapy water or a foaming agent to check
the unscrewed connections to ensure that they are free of leakage.
6. When white mist refrigerant is sprayed out of the nut of cut-off valve, lock up the nut quickly. Turn on the cut-off
valve and check the connections for leakage.
In addition, the user can evaluate the working conditions of the cooling system by comparing the operating conditions
of the units. Under the condition that the opening extent of the regulating valve is the same, check the operation records
consistent with the current operation conditions of the unit (especially the evaporating pressure and condensing pressure
parameters), and compare the cooling temperature difference of oil (the difference between the oil tank temperature and
the oil supply temperature). If the temperature difference is significantly reduced compared with the initial operation
period of the unit, the pipeline of the cooling system needs to be maintained.
4.4 Maintenance Methods for the Automatic Oil Return System
Refer to Section 1.5 of this manual for an introduction to the automatic oil return system of the unit.
4.4.1 Operation, Maintenance, and Disassembly and Inspection of the Automatic Oil Return System
Before the unit is initially put into use, mark the oil level. Then during the unit operation, observe the change in the
oil level through the sight glass on the box once a week and record it in the Unit Status Record Form. If the oil level
changes significantly (more than half of the sight glass), the automatic oil return system of the unit shall be checked.
Observe the sight glass on the oil return pipe. When the automatic oil return system is in normal operation, a small
amount of liquid can be observed through the sight glass to evaporate in the cavity of the sight glass. In addition, the
temperature of this section of copper pipe is relatively low; otherwise, the automatic oil return device fails to work
normally.
If the automatic oil return device fails to work normally, it can be debugged according to the following steps:
1. According to Fig. 1.7 of this manual, turn up the K1 valve counterclockwise for 1 ~ 2 turns, and observe whether
there is any liquid evaporating in the oil return sight glass.
2. If the working condition of the oil return device is still not improved through adjustment, the oil return pipe shall
be disassembled and inspected.
The disassembly and inspection steps for the automatic oil return pipeline are as follows:
3. According to Fig. 1.7, rotate the valve rods K1, K2, K3, K4 and K5 clockwise until they are completely closed.
4. Unscrew the connection between K1 valve and pipeline slightly to drain the refrigerant out of the pipeline. When
there is no refrigerant gushing out of the joint, remove the joint between the pipeline and the above-mentioned valves, and
remove the pipeline from the unit.
5. At this time, the filters and pipes on the pipeline can be checked.
4.4.2 Replacing the Automatic Oil Return Filter
As shown in Fig. 1.7, according to the disassembly and inspection steps for the automatic oil return pipe, turn off the
valve to completely turn off the pipe where the filter is located, and remove the pipeline. After replacing the filter, reinstall
79
4. Unit Maintenance
the pipeline. Slightly unscrew the collar nut between K5 valve and the pipe section, turn on the other valves, blow air out
of the pipe, lock up the nut, adjust the opening extent of each valve as indicated in Table 1.1, confirm there are no leakages,
and the replacement is over.
4.5 Maintenance Methods for the Refrigerant System
4.5.1 Daily Maintenance
After charging refrigerant for the first time, the liquid level of the refrigerant shall be recorded through the
evaporator’s sight glass before the unit operates, and shall be recorded again when the unit operates stably after starting up.
These two liquid levels will be used as the basis for later evaluation of the unit operation. After the unit is in operation, the
refrigerant level shall be recorded and checked once a month.
If the refrigerant of the unit leaks, the operating parameters under the same operating conditions will change to a
certain extent: The liquid level of evaporator drops; the evaporating pressure decreases at the same chilled water outlet
temperature; The capacity of the unit drops at the same freezing water temperature and cooling water temperature. When
the liquid level drops, the user can judge whether refrigerant leakage occurs by observing these parameters.
4.5.2 Leakage Inspection
For the unit, a minor leakage will not bring significant changes in the operating condition of the unit; therefore, the
unit shall be checked for leakage once a year. Since there is refrigerant inside the unit and the pressure is higher than that
of the outside, foaming agent or soapy water can be directly applied to all connections of the unit to inspect leakage.
Leakage inspection of heat exchange tubes is relatively complicated and can be done once every 3 years. If the water
quality of the system is poor, the leakage inspection frequency shall be increased. Because it is hard to access the inside of
heat exchange tubes, it is recommended that the user uses professional electronic leakage detectors or notifies Manufacture
Company's after-sales service personnel to solve the problem.
4.5.3 Refrigerant Analysis
The purity of the refrigerant has a great influence on the operation efficiency of the unit, so the refrigerant analysis
shall be conducted once a year, and it is recommended to conduct the analysis before using it before the arrival of the
season each year. A small amount of refrigerant sample is discharged from the refrigerant charging valve into a closed
container for testing, and judge whether purification of refrigerant is required according to the testing result. The judging
criteria are as follows:
Table 4.5 Criteria for Determining whether to Purify Refrigerant
Refrigerant purifying Content of entrained oil (%) Acid (ppm) Free moisture
Yes. Over 5% Over 5ppm Can be perceived
Purification would be
3~5% 3~5ppm 3~5ppm
best
Not Below 3% Below 3ppm Cannot be perceived
Purification of refrigerants requires more professional tools. It is recommended that the user hires a professional
company or contact the Manufacture's after-sales service department.
4.5.4 Relief Valve Inspection
Relief valves installed on evaporator and condenser can protect the unit from danger when internal pressure is too
high, so these components shall be checked at least once every six months. The inspection contents include:
80
4. Unit Maintenance
1. Open the drain pipe connected to the valve and carefully check the valve body for rust or corrosion, dust
accumulation, scaling, leakage and the like
2. If there is rust, corrosion or accumulation of impurities, the relief valve shall be replaced and cannot be repaired or
reused.
3. The steps for replacing the relief valve are as follows: Turn off the ball valve below the relief valve (the ball valve
can only be turned off when people replaces the relief valve or overhauls the unit), replace the original relief valve on the
unit with a qualified relief valve after confirmation, turn on the ball valve again after completion, and confirm that there is
no leakage at the connection between the relief valve and the valve seat (if any, tighten the relief valve after turning off the
ball valve, then check the leakage again until there is no leakages), and finally reconnect the drain pipe.
4. Check whether the air around the unit is corrosive. If yes, increase inspection frequency for the relief valve.
4.6 Inspection and Maintenance Methods for the Water System
Regular inspection and maintenance of the water system is very important to improve the operation efficiency and
ensure the safe operation of the unit. The user needs to check the water quality once a month, confirm the water flow once
a week, and clean the evaporator and condenser once a year.
4.6.1 Water Quality Inspection
The water quality shall meet the cooling water quality requirements given in Appendix D to GB/T 18430.1-2007
Vapor Compression Cycle Water Cooling (Heat Pump) Unit - Part I: Water Cooling (Heat Pump) Units for Industrial or
Commercial Use and Similar Uses. If the water quality fails to meet the requirements, the operation efficiency of the unit
will be reduced and even the pipelines will be damaged.
Water quality inspection shall be conducted once a month and shall meet the requirements of the following table:

81
4. Unit Maintenance
4.6.2 Confirming the Water Flow
The flow rate of water in the heat exchange tube is closely related to tube corrosion, and shall not exceed the rated
water flow in operation. Once the flow rate of water in the pipe reaches 3.5 ~ 4m/s, the pipe may be eroded. During the use
of the unit, check the water flow once a week. For standard units, it can be roughly determined that the difference between
the operating water quantity and the rated water quantity is not too big by detecting the water pressure drop at the
inlet/outlet of evaporator and condenser and comparing it with the rated water pressure drop of the unit. For non-standard
units, the standard water pressure drop should be subject to the parameters provided when the units are ordered.
4.6.3 Cleaning the Evaporator
Inspect and clean the evaporator once a year. By checking the scaling condition of evaporating pipes, the working
condition of water treatment equipment in the pipe network can be evaluated, and whether to clean the pipes in advance
can be determined. The scaling of the tubes can also be judged by the operating parameters of the unit. At the same chilled
water outlet temperature, if the evaporating pressure drops more than 15kPa compared with the initial operation, the
evaporating tubes may need to be cleaned, and scaling inspection needs to be carried out on the evaporating tubes. The
inspection and cleaning steps for the evaporator are as follows:
1. Disconnect all power supplies to the unit.
2. Close the valves of the chilled water pump and evaporator inlet/outlet pipes, and turn on the drain valve of the
unit’s water chamber to drain the residual water out of the unit.
3. Disconnect the unit from the water system, remove the water-chamber bolts from both ends of the evaporator of the
unit, and hoist away the water chambers separately.
Attention
To disassemble and hoist the water chambers, never fail to protect the thermal insulation layer of the
water chamber. The water chambers can only be hoisted with lifting lugs!
4. At this point, components (flow meter, temperature sensor and the like) on evaporating pipe and water system can
be checked.
5. Clean the evaporating pipe. If the flow meter, temperature sensor and other components have corrosion or scaling,
they need to be replaced or descaled.
Attention
Evaporating tube and condensing tube are high-efficiency fin heat exchange tubes, which can only be
cleaned with professional tools. It is recommended that the user hires a professional cleaning company or
contacts the after-sales department of the Company.
6. After cleaning, re-install the water system.
4.6.4 Cleaning the Condenser
The water loop system of the condenser is usually an open system (open to the atmosphere at the cooling tower), so
the pipes are more prone to fouling. Cleaning should be carried out at least once a year. If the water quality inspection
reveals that the water system is polluted, the cleaning shall be done more frequently.
Similarly, the scaling of condenser tubes can also be judged by the operating parameters of the unit: Under the same
cooling water outlet temperature, if the condensing pressure of the unit rises more than 20kPa compared with the initial
operation, the scaling of condenser tubes needs to be checked and cleaned if necessary.
82
4. Unit Maintenance
Cleaning of the condenser is consistent with that of the evaporator. Attention should also be paid to protect the
condenser tube during cleaning, and check and handle the components on the pipe network while cleaning.
4.7 Maintenance Methods for the Electrical System
Warning
Before maintaining the electrical system of the unit, all power supplies of the unit should be
disconnected!
83
4. Unit Maintenance
(For Y-connection motor, it is necessary to check the insulation between the winding of each phase) and between each
winding and the ground. The insulation resistance shall not be lower than the value calculated as per the following
formula:
RMC≥U(75-t)/5000
Where, RMC - Insulation resistance assessment value, in megohm (mΩ);
U - Rated voltage of main motor, in volts (V);
t — Winding temperature of main motor during the test (generally room temperature), in ℃.
If the measured insulation resistance is lower than the calculated value, the following method shall be used to dry the
main motor, and the insulation should be re-tested after treatment.
1. Vacuum drying method
Pump the internal pressure of the machine to a vacuum with an absolute pressure of at least 1kPa(-700mmHg), and
keep it dry for 2 days and nights (the specific time varies with the ambient temperature).
2. Electric drying method (only for low voltage motor)
If the insulation resistance cannot rise by the 1st method, electric drying can be adopted, that is to say, AC voltage of
5% of rated voltage is applied to the stator coil for electric drying. However, since this motor is of sealed type of which the
coil temperature cannot be directly measured, the thermal resistors of the coils should be installed to protect the coil from
overheating.
