TRANSFER REFRIGERANT FROM CHILLER TO PUMP-<br />

OUT STORAGE TANK<br />

1. Equalize refrigerant pressure.<br />

a. Valve positions:<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C C<br />

b. Slowly open valve 5. When the pressures are<br />

equalized, open liquid line valve 7 to allow liquid<br />

refrigerant to drain by gravity into the pumpout<br />

storage tank.<br />

2. Transfer the remaining liquid.<br />

a. Turn off the pumpout condenser water. Place the<br />

valves in the following positions:<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C<br />

b. Run the pumpout compressor for approximately<br />

30 minutes; then close valve 10.<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C<br />

c. Turn off the pumpout compressor.<br />

3. Remove any remaining refrigerant.<br />

a. Turn on the chiller water pumps using the PUMP-<br />

DOWN LOCKOUT screen, accessed from the<br />

CONTROL TEST table. Turn on the pumps manually,<br />

if they are not controlled by the PIC II.<br />

b. Turn on the pumpout condenser water.<br />

c. Place valves in the following positions:<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C<br />

d. Run the pumpout compressor until the chiller pressure<br />

reaches 30 psig (207 kPa) for HFC-134a.<br />

Then, shut off the pumpout compressor. Warm<br />

condenser water will boil off any entrapped liquid<br />

refrigerant <strong>and</strong> the chiller pressure will rise.<br />

e. When the pressure rises to 40 psig (276 kPa) for<br />

HFC-134a, turn on the pumpout compressor until<br />

the pressure again reaches 30 psig (207 kPa), <strong>and</strong><br />

then turn off the pumpout compressor. Repeat this<br />

process until the pressure no longer rises. Then,<br />

turn on the pumpout compressor <strong>and</strong> pump until<br />

the pressure reaches18 in. Hg. (40 kPa absolute).<br />

f. Close valves 1a, 1b, 3, 4, 6, 7, <strong>and</strong> 10.<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C C C C C C C<br />

g. Turn off the pumpout condenser water <strong>and</strong> continue<br />

to use the PIC II PUMPDOWN LOCKOUT<br />

screen functions, which lock out the chiller compressor<br />

for operation.<br />

4. Establish a vacuum for service.<br />

To conserve refrigerant, operate the pumpout compressor<br />

until the chiller pressure is reduced to 18 in. Hg vac., ref<br />

30 in. bar. (40 kPa abs.) following Step 3e.<br />

Chillers with Isolation Valves<br />

TRANSFER ALL REFRIGERANT TO CHILLER CON-<br />

DENSER VESSEL — For chillers with isolation valves,<br />

refrigerant can be stored in one chiller vessel or the other without<br />

the need for an external storage tank.<br />

1. Push refrigerant into the chiller condenser.<br />

a. Valve positions:<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 8 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C C C<br />

b. Using the PIC II controls, turn off the chiller water<br />

pumps <strong>and</strong> pumpout condenser water. If the chiller<br />

water pumps are not controlled through the PIC II,<br />

turn them off manually.<br />

c. Turn on the pumpout compressor to push the liquid<br />

refrigerant out of the chiller cooler vessel.<br />

d. When all liquid refrigerant has been pushed into<br />

the chiller condenser vessel, close chiller isolation<br />

valve 11.<br />

e. Access the PUMPDOWN LOCKOUT screen on<br />

the PIC II CONTROL TEST table to turn on the<br />

chiller water pumps. If the chiller water pumps<br />

are not controlled by the PIC II, turn them on<br />

manually.<br />

f. Turn off the pumpout compressor.<br />

2. Evacuate the refrigerant gas from chiller cooler vessel.<br />

a. Close pumpout compressor valves 2 <strong>and</strong> 5, <strong>and</strong><br />

open valves 3 <strong>and</strong> 4.<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 8 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C C C C<br />

b. Turn on the pumpout condenser water.<br />

c. Run the pumpout compressor until the chiller<br />

cooler vessel pressure reaches 18 in. Hg vac<br />

(40 kPa abs.). Monitor pressures on the CVC/<br />

ICVC <strong>and</strong> on refrigerant gages.<br />

d. Close valve 1a.<br />

e. Turn off the pumpout compressor.<br />

f. Close valves 1b, 3, <strong>and</strong> 4.<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 8 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C C C C C C C C<br />

g. Turn off the pumpout condenser water.<br />

h. Proceed to the PUMPDOWN/LOCKOUT function<br />

accessed from the CONTROL TEST table to turn<br />

off the chiller water pumps <strong>and</strong> lock out the chiller<br />

compressor. Turn off the chiller water pumps manually<br />

if they are not controlled by the PIC II.<br />

a. Valve positions:<br />

VALVE 1a 1b 2 3 4 5 8 11 12 13 14<br />

CONDITION C C C C C C<br />

b. Turn off the chiller water pumps (either through<br />

the PIC II controls or manually, if necessary) <strong>and</strong><br />

the pumpout condenser water.<br />

c. Turn on the pumpout compressor to push the<br />

refrigerant out of the chiller condenser.<br />

d. When all liquid refrigerant is out of the chiller condenser,<br />

close the cooler isolation valve 11.<br />

e. Turn off the pumpout compressor.
