General Features and Specifications

Refrigerant circuit

The unit has been designed with two separate refrigerant circuits, i.e. it has two compressors. By doing so,

the unit has part loading capabilities, i.e. 0-50-100% of rated capacity. This will improve the reliability and

energy efficiency of the unit, especially during low loading operations. Each circuit is factory brazed and

evacuated before accurately charged with refrigerant to ensure optimum performance. Because each circuit

is separated, there is no danger of crosscontamination should either one of the compressors experiences a

burnt-up. Each circuit is also equipped with a carefully sized thermostatic expansion valve (for cooling only

units) to give optimum performance characteristics. For the heat pump versions, the expansion process is

done with capillary tubes.

Scroll compressors are used in the unit to give quiet and reliable performance over a wide operating

temperature range. However, in order to protect the compressors from damage, a phase protector is

provided to prevent the compressors from rotating in the wrong direction.

Condenser Fan Motor

The unit is equipped with two high air flow propeller fan blades which are made of metal. The fans are

directly driven by weather proof motors, the motors are of single phase type.

Evaporator

The heat exchanger is made of stainless steel plates closely arranged and brazed together (BPHE) to

ensure high heat exchange efficiency. The water flows through the BPHE in a channel on its own, while

because of the two compressors, the refrigerant flows through another two separate channels. The

refrigerant will either be in a counter-flow or parallel-flow with respect to the water, depending on the mode

of operation (cooling or heating).

Safety Protection

The safety protections provided for in the chiller unit are:

a) High and low pressure switches

b) Differential water flow switch

c) Compressor, water pump and fan motor overload protectors

d) Anti-freeze protection sensor

During abnormal condition, the electronic controller will turn off the unit and then display the fault of

operation.

Other than that, the unit also has pressure gauges (analog) for each compressor suction and discharge

pipes. These are useful for detecting abnormal operating conditions, especially during maintenance

services.

Water buffer tank & pipe connection

The unit does not come with a water buffer tank. However, the unit does come with an 8 liters expansion

tank.

(A 135L water tank is available as optional item)

The external water piping connection can be made either from the left or right side of the unit. Connection is

done with I1-1/4” female thread couplings for both supply and return pipes.

Anti-freeze protection

The chiller unit has several anti-freeze protection features:

1. Brazed plate heat exchanger anti-freeze

The BPHE has a strip heater around it to prevent water freezing inside.

2. Auto mode

The chiller controller will force-on the unit to the heat mode if the outdoor ambient air temperature

becomes too cold.

Maintenance

In order to facilitate maintenance of the controller, a rocker switch is provided to power-off the supply to the

PCB. However, switching off this switch will not disconnect the main incoming power supply to the chiller

unit.

Coil Guard

The unit also comes with two sets of coil guards (i.e. on the left and right side coils). Each guard is basically

a metal mesh which protects the coil from damage due to a side impact on the coil surface itself.

Fin Coating

The finned tube heat exchanger coil used on the chiller unit is made of staggered rows of 3/8” seamless

copper tubes, mechanically expanded into die-formed louvered fins. The slit openings on the fins enhance

the heat transfer coefficient between the fin surfaces and air.

In order to protect these fins from corrosion, a special fin coating (gold fin) is applied on the surface. This

coating is standard on the heat pump version, whereas it is an option on the cooling only model.

Chiller Panel Controller

1. SAFETY CONSIDERATION

Only specially trained and qualified technicians and installers are authorized to install and service this equipment.

1.1 General Installation Recommendations

xOnly supply DC voltage (9-17V, typically 12V, maximum current 200mA) as a power source to the device.

xInput contact voltage supply should limit to 12VDC or 24VAC.

xIsolated all the low voltage wiring (communication bus, etc.) from high voltage power supply wiring.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 General

The Chiller Panel Controller is designed to control the Chiller operation. This device allows the user to have

customized control for each connected unit.

2.2 Features

The requirements of user friendly and easy to use have been taken into account in designing this Chiller

Panel Controller. It can do the task as follow:

xWhole system configuration

xUnique parameter settings

xOperation status display

xTracing fault record (easy in hardware troubleshooting)

The display is shown in an 8-line graphical LCD display. There are 8 dedicated keys available in the panel,

which allow user to do the following task:

xMenu selection

xNavigation on the screen

xModification of the selected value

During first start-up, the panel will have a default configuration (timer schedule, set point, miscellaneous

settings, etc). User can do the changes on that particular configuration later.

2.3 Panel Position

The Chiller Panel Controller can be installed anywhere, as long as it is easy to accessed by authorized

personnel.

The requirements of installation are:

xAvoid exposure to shocks

xAvoid any source of electromagnetic pollution

xAvoid installation on uneven vertical surface

2.4 Operation Environmental Condition

xTemperature:

-10ºC to 65ºC Operating Temperature

-20ºC to 85ºC Storage Temperature

xRelative Humidity:

0 to 95% Non - Condensing

CHILLER NETWORK

Chiller panel needs to be energized with +12Vdc. The 5 way wires that provided is once on the easiest solution to

establish a communication between the panel and chiller main board (CN8-CN8). If the 5-way wires socket has been

occupied in main board, just using 2 insulation wires connected to the +12Vdc and GND terminal block from main

board to panel can still energize a panel. Beside that, another 2 insulation wired are needed to establish a

communication between panel and chiller main board.

Chiller panel can support maximum up to 50 units of chiller. In the chiller network, duplication of main board unit

address is not allowed. Each chiller main board should have their unique unit address (0 – 50).

For first time running, user need to assign a unique unit address to each main board in the chiller network. User

should follow the procedure below:

xOnly power ON one main board at once time. Make sure not others main boards are energized.

xBy using the panel connected to the main board.

xDe-energized the main board and repeat the procedures again until all the main boards have been assigned a unique unit

address

IMPORTANT: Do not assign a same unit address to more than one chiller main board.

RECOMMENDATION: Please select a coherent model (G1 Model) to all the chiller main boards in the same

network

4.2 Others Configuration

xJH2 in Chiller panel should let it open (put the jumper header on one pin only) all the time unless user need to

do CMOS reset to that particular panel.

xJH3 should let it open (put the jumper header on one pin only) all the time as well.

xRemember to put in the coin cell battery on the panel. Without the backup battery, the panel will always reset

the time to 12:00am, 1st Jan 2000.

4.3 Installation of the Chiller Panel Controller

xDisconnect the unit and ensure no others unit energy source that supplies the panel.

xOpen the rear panel of the Chiller Panel (insert a ‘flat-head’ screwdriver in the top joint of main casing with

rear panel to open the rear panel)

xPass the necessary wires of the panel across the large opening in the rear panel. Place the rear panel flat

support against the wall and make marks on the wall through the four installation holes (inner or outer).

xDrill four appropriate holes in the marked places.

xAttach the rear panel to the wall and put on the screws on it. Ensure that all cables are passed through the

hole of the rear panel.

xConnect the wires to the corresponding terminal according to the wiring bus network. The power supply and

communication wires must be correctly connected to ensure that the panel works.

xClose the Chiller panel (ensure the bottom joint is aligned for the casing, then complete others joint part.

Ensure that the contacts at the back of the panel are aligned with each others)
