Water Treatment — Untreated or improperly treated water<br />

may result in corrosion, scaling, erosion, or algae. The services<br />

of a qualified water treatment specialist should be obtained<br />

to develop <strong>and</strong> monitor a treatment program.<br />

Water must be within design flow limits, clean, <strong>and</strong> treated<br />

to ensure proper chiller performance <strong>and</strong> reduce the potential<br />

of tube damage due to corrosion, scaling, erosion, <strong>and</strong><br />

algae. Carrier assumes no responsibility for chiller damage<br />

resulting from untreated or improperly treated water.<br />

Inspect the <strong>Start</strong>ing Equipment — Before working<br />

on any starter, shut off the chiller, open <strong>and</strong> tag all disconnects<br />

supplying power to the starter.<br />

The disconnect on the starter front panel does not deenergize<br />

all internal circuits. Open all internal <strong>and</strong> remote disconnects<br />

before servicing the starter.<br />

Never open isolating knife switches while equipment is<br />

operating. Electrical arcing can cause serious injury.<br />

Inspect starter contact surfaces for wear or pitting on<br />

mechanical-type starters. Do not s<strong>and</strong>paper or file silverplated<br />

contacts. Follow the starter manufacturer’s instructions for<br />

contact replacement, lubrication, spare parts ordering, <strong>and</strong> other<br />

maintenance requirements.<br />

Periodically vacuum or blow off accumulated debris on the<br />

internal parts with a high-velocity, low-pressure blower.<br />

Power connections on newly installed starters may relax<br />

<strong>and</strong> loosen after a month of operation. Turn power off <strong>and</strong> retighten.<br />

Recheck annually thereafter.<br />

Loose power connections can cause voltage spikes, overheating,<br />

malfunctioning, or failures.<br />

Check Pressure Transducers — Once a year, the<br />

pressure transducers should be checked against a pressure gage<br />

reading. Check all eight transducers: the 2 oil differential pressure<br />

transducers, the condenser pressure transducer, the cooler<br />

pressure transducer, <strong>and</strong> the waterside pressure transducers<br />

(consisting of 4 flow devices: 2 cooler, 2 condenser).<br />

Note the evaporator <strong>and</strong> condenser pressure readings on the<br />

HEAT_EX screen on the CVC/ICVC (EVAPORATOR PRES-<br />

SURE <strong>and</strong> CONDENSER PRESSURE). Attach an accurate set<br />

of refrigeration gages to the cooler <strong>and</strong> condenser Schrader fittings.<br />

Compare the two readings. If there is a difference in<br />

readings, the transducer can be calibrated as described in the<br />

Troubleshooting Guide section. Oil differential pressure (OIL<br />

PUMP DELTA P on the COMPRESS screen) should be zero<br />

whenever the compressor is off.<br />

Optional Pumpout System <strong>Maintenance</strong> — For<br />

pumpout unit compressor maintenance details, refer to the<br />

OPTIONAL PUMPOUT COMPRESSOR OIL CHARGE —<br />

Use oil conforming to Carrier specifications for reciprocating<br />

compressor usage. Oil requirements are as follows:<br />

ISO Viscosity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68<br />

Carrier Part Number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PP23BZ103<br />

The total oil charge, 4.5 pints (2.6 L), consists of 3.5 pints<br />

(2.0 L) for the compressor <strong>and</strong> one additional pint (0.6 L) for<br />

the oil separator.<br />

Oil should be visible in one of the compressor sight glasses<br />

during both operation <strong>and</strong> at shutdown. Always check the oil<br />

level before operating the compressor. Before adding or changing<br />

oil, relieve the refrigerant pressure as follows:<br />

1. Attach a pressure gage to the gage port of either compressor<br />

service valve (Fig. 36).<br />

2. Close the suction service valve <strong>and</strong> open the discharge<br />

line to the storage tank or the chiller.<br />

3. Operate the compressor until the crankcase pressure<br />

drops to 2 psig (13 kPa).<br />

4. Stop the compressor <strong>and</strong> isolate the system by closing the<br />

discharge service valve.<br />

5. Slowly remove the oil return line connection (Fig. 36).<br />

Add oil as required.<br />

6. Replace the connection <strong>and</strong> reopen the compressor service<br />

valves.<br />

OPTIONAL PUMPOUT SAFETY CONTROL SETTINGS<br />

(Fig. 39) — The optional pumpout system high-pressure<br />

switch opens at 161 psig (1110 kPa) <strong>and</strong> closes at 130 psig<br />

(896 kPa). Check the switch setting by operating the pumpout<br />

compressor <strong>and</strong> slowly throttling the pumpout condenser<br />

water.<br />

Ordering Replacement Chiller Parts — When<br />

ordering Carrier specified parts, the following information<br />

must accompany an order:<br />

chiller model number <strong>and</strong> serial number<br />

name, quantity, <strong>and</strong> part number of the part required<br />

delivery address <strong>and</strong> method of shipment.<br />
