Lifting and Transporting Modules
Pallet jacks or forklifts are required for lifting and transporting the module. Each module has base cutouts provided for ease
of maneuverability. 60” forks are recommended to prevent damage to chiller base.
Rigging and Lifting Procedures
ClimaCool recommends locking down the chiller to a concrete base or to three (3) 4” base mounting rails using the six (6)
bolt holes provided in each base pan. Use bolts with a maximum diameter < 0.6”; length to be dependent on customer
mechanical layout. See Base Pan top view drawing on the next page.
Due to the low vibration of the modules, the application of spring isolators or pads is not required. Should isolators or
pads be desired install in accordance with Figures 4 and 5.

access and at least 12” for side clearance or as required
for field piping (See Recommended Service Clearances
on page 7). Local building or electrical codes may require
additional clearance – please consult applicable codes.
Draining
When performing standard maintenance procedures such
as flushing a heat exchanger, it will be necessary to isolate
either heat exchanger. ClimaCool modular chillers offer
optional water isolation valves for this purpose. Access to a
floor drain is helpful when performing standard maintenance
procedures. Warning: Water valves must be reopened after
flushing is complete.
Assembling Modules
ClimaCool recommends locking down the chiller to a
concrete base or to three (3) 4” base mounting rails using
the six (6) bolt holes provided in each base pan. Although
the compressors are installed on anti-vibration mountings,
further isolation of the chiller from the structure is
recommended by installing vibration-eliminating springs
or pads under the base rails on which the chiller will rest
(See Mounting Rail and Vibration Isolation on page 6). One
module should be chosen as the reference module and
carefully located.
Field installed mounting accessories are provided for
adjoining each module.
•
Header grooved coupling kits containing four (4)
grooved couplings with gaskets
•
Mounting hardware kit containing necessary bolts,
spacers, nuts and washers
•
Header bank end cap kit containing four (4) grooved
couplings with gaskets and four (4) end caps
Field installing the mounting hardware kit will assist with
alignment of the modules in a bank and eliminate offset
inconsistencies. The 1/2” mounting holes are provided on
sides of the unit base pan. First module should be set, set
adjacent unit on mounting surface roughly aligned 1½ inches
away from the first unit. While holding spacer in place work
through first modules front base cutout to place a washer
and insert bolt through front mounting hole and spacer.
Repeat the process for the rear mounting hole. Line up
mounting hole of adjacent module with bolt from previous
module and working through adjacent modules front base
cutout place a washer, split lock washer and nut. Using the
appropriate tools tighten hardware assembly until seated.
Inspect the pipe ends to ensure they are free from any
indentations, projections, roll marks or other harmful surface
defects such as loose paint, scale, dirt, chips, grease and rust.
Inspect the grooved coupling gasket for any defects. Apply
a thin layer of silicone or other non-petroleum lubricant to
the sealing lips of the gasket as well as to the exterior of the
gasket. Install gaskets on the pipe ends of one of the two
modules to be mated. Be sure the gasket is completely on
the pipe to avoid damage in the next step. Move the second
module into position and line up the piping. Ensure you are
maintaining alignment for any additional modules to be
added. When pipe ends are aligned, slide the gasket over
the ends and center it between the grooves. No part of the
gasket should protrude into the groove of either pipe end.
Place the coupling halves over the gasket and make sure that
the coupling keys (the part that goes into the groove) are
engaged into the grooves. Insert the bolts and install nuts to
hand tight. Ensure the oval neck of the bolt engages into the
bolt hole of the housing. Tighten nuts alternately and equally
until the bolt pads meet and make metal to metal contact.
Tighten nuts by another ¼ to ½ turn to make sure the nuts
and bolts are snug and secure; the use of a torque wrench
is usually not required. Uneven tightening of bolts may
cause the gasket to be pinched resulting in immediate
or delayed leaks.
Header Insulation
Chilled water piping is pre-insulated on each module at the
factory (See Figure 7 - Header Insultation) with ¾” closed
cell insulation. After bolting all modules together and leak
testing, the entire coupling connection will need to be
insulated by the installing contractor.

Grooved Couplings Installation
Inspect the pipe ends to ensure they are free from any
indentations, projections, roll marks, or other harmful
surface defects such as loose paint, scale, dirt, chips,
grease and rust. Inspect the grooved coupling gasket for
any defects. Grooved couplings are used to adjoin a bank
of modules. This requires the temporary removal of all
top, back and side sheet metal panels to obtain additional
access to the headers. With the first unit positioned, the
couplings can be installed using the following recommended
instructions:

•
Remove the rubber gasket from the coupling.
•
Apply a thin layer of silicone or other non-petroleum
lubricant to both the inner and outer surface of the
gasket to reduce friction.
•
Slide the gaskets on the headers as shown in Figure 10.
•
Be sure the gasket is completely on the pipe to
eliminate any damage to the gasket.
•
With gasket in place on each header of the positioned
unit (see Figure 11), move the second module into
position and line up the piping. Ensure alignment is
maintained for any additional modules to be added.
Sound Attenuation Panels and Gasket
Attenuation panels are enclosures made of 18 gauge
galvanized steel with powder coat paint finish and fiberglass
insulation. Panel package includes one (1) upper panel
made out of four (4) sections and one (1) lower panel for
each side of bank (field installed), four (4) panels for each
module in the bank (factory installed) and gasket sealant tape
for installation between modules. Install panels by setting
in place and locking down with the half turn latches or
self tapping screws. Note: Panel package includes a
compressed 1” x 1” gasket sealant tape for installation
between modules. Install the tape on the outer frame
on the side of one module prior to installing the adjacent
modules. See Figure 8.
•
Review Figure 9, UCW/H Side View below.
•
Headers are numbered indicating the easiest order of
coupling installation.
•
UCW/H chillers should have couplings installed on
headers 1, 4 from the top and 2, 3 from the
back of the unit.
Open the coupling by completely removing one bolt
and nut (see Figure 12).
•
Back the other nut off as far as possible while still keep-
ing the coupling intact.
•
Install with the nuts facing up for fastening.
•
When the pipes ends are aligned, slide the gasket over
the ends and center it between the grooves.
•
No part of the gasket should protrude into the groove
of either pipe end.
•
Place coupling halves over the gasket and make sure
that the coupling keys (the part that goes into the
groove), are engaged into the grooves.
•
Insert the previously removed bolt from the bottom to
re-attach the two sides of the coupling (see Figure 13).
•
Tighten nuts alternately and equally until the bolt pads
meet and make metal-to-metal contact.
•
Tighten nuts by another ¼ to ½ turn to make sure the
nuts and bolts are snug and secure, the use of a torque
wrench is usually not required.
•
Uneven tightening of bolts may cause the gasket to be
pinched resulting in immediate or delayed leaks.
•
Replace all sheet metal panels.
The power for all modules is taken from a suitable circuit
breaker/fused disconnect power supply within the main
panel. The electrical service enters the individual modules
through the top into the module’s control panel enclosure.
Proper grounding of the module is mandatory. Before
carrying out any electrical work, confirm that the main
supply is isolated. A typical power wiring is located on page
47 – Power Distribution Drawing. Knockout drawings are
provided. Do not drill into cabinet; shavings can damage
electronic components. The power for all individual modules
shall be in compliance with all local and national codes.
CoolLogic Control System Wiring
A separate 115 volt power supply is required to power the
CoolLogic Master Control Panel. Communication between
the Master Control Panel and chiller modules requires a
simple two-conductor 18 AWG shielded cable rated at 60°C
minimum, daisy chain connection. Control wiring cannot be
installed in the same conduit as line voltage wiring or with
wires that switch highly inductive loads such as contactor
and relay coils. Refer to the Power Distribution Drawing on
page 47 of this manual for more information. All wiring shall
be in compliance with all local and national codes.
Electrical Phase Sequencing
Proper clockwise rotation for scroll compressor motors
is important to prevent damage to the compressors.
ClimaCool recommends the use of a phase sequence
indicating instrument following the manufactures
directions. An alternative is to “bump test” the compressors
one at a time with pressure gauges attached to the high and
low gauge ports of the compressors to check for proper
rotation. Energize the compressor for a few seconds to
ensure the discharge pressure gauge increases significantly.
If the discharge pressure does not increase, proper
rotation is reversed. Compressor rotation can be reversed
by opening the main electrical disconnect and switching
any two of the main power supply leads feeding that
compressor’s contactor.
Proper Voltage Balance
Occasionally, in three phase circuits, a voltage imbalance
occurs between phases. It is not recommended to operate
equipment when an imbalance greater that 2% occurs. This
causes motors to run at high temperatures and may affect
their longevity. The following example describes how to
calculate the average voltage of the three phases to see if
the imbalance is greater than 2%.
Example: Line 1 = 226v Line 2 = 230v Line 3 = 228v
The average is: (226+230+228) / 3 = 228v
Next, [100(228-226)] / 228 = 0.9%
The voltage imbalance of the three phase circuit is 0.9%.
This is well under the 2% range.
Voltage/Phase Monitor
Voltage/phase monitors are factory supplied for field
installation with the CoolLogic Master Control Panel.
The voltage/phase monitor helps guard the chiller bank
against voltage fluctuations, phase failure or phase reversal
conditions which could void your warranty. The voltage/
phase monitor has three wires that connect to the main
three phase power chiller bank input. Two low voltage
control wires are connected to the CoolLogic Master Control
Panel. Do not install control wiring in the same conduit
as line voltage wiring or with wires that switch highly
inductive loads such as contactor and relay coils. Note: It
is mandatory to install one (1) monitor per bank at main
power distribution panel to monitor voltage and phasing of
power to the modules. See Wiring Diagram on page 13.

WARNING/AVERTISSEMENT
CAUTION/ATTENTION
As with any water system, it is important that the system
be clean. The pipe work installer must remove weld scale,
rust and contamination during pipe work fabrication.
The system water piping must be flushed thoroughly
with recommended alkaline flush or other chemicals that
are compatible with 316 stainless steel, prior to making
connections to the ClimaCool chiller. There are certain
necessary components that should always be installed in
both the chilled water and condenser water systems. (See
Water Piping Configuration Figures 19 and 20 on page 16).
Piping configurations on multiple modules may also be
found on pages 15. All water piping must be installed in
accordance with applicable codes and standards.
Temperature Sensor and Wells
ClimaCool provides four (4) temperature sensors and wells
with each chiller system programmed by the CoolLogic
Control System. They must be field installed a minimum of
36” but no more than 60” away from the bank and before
the strainer, on the chilled water inlet, chilled water outlet,
condenser water inlet and condeser water outlet. (See
Water Piping Configuration on page 16). Note: Sensors must
be fully inserted into the well to obtain proper readings
and must be 2 ½ pipe diameter minimum before or after
an elbow. See Figures 14 and 15.
Chiller/Heater System Water Header Bypass
A bypass is required for any chilled water/evaporator, hot
water/condenser (heating load) and source water side
(geothermal, cooling tower or closed circuit cooler) with
variable pumping. The bypass must be piped in such a way
that the temperature and differential pressure sensors are
still sensing active flow (See Water Piping Configuration
Water Piping
Pressure Differential Flow Sensor
It is imperative that minimum and maximum water flow
rates, as defined in the Operational Limitations tables on
page 31, are not exceeded. To prevent operation of the
chiller without sufficient water flow to the evaporator and
condenser, it is required to install pressure differential flow
sensors in both the chilled and condenser water circuits.
Place one (1) on each side, downstream of the strainers on
the inlet and outlet of a straight pipe, as close to the module
as possible. Do not put in an elbow on the outlet. (See
Water Piping Configurations on page 16). Note: Evaporator
and condenser sides both require sensors of equal
pressure ranges.
Pressure Taps
The installing contractor must provide access ports for
connecting both the pressure differential flow sensors and
pressure gauges for both the condenser and chilled water
systems. A ¼” pressure tap is required on the inlet and the
outlet of both water systems for a total of eight (8) taps. If a
port is shared by the pressure differential flow sensor and the
pressure gauge, it will require four (4) ½” taps. (See Water
Piping Configurations on page 16).
Water Isolation Valves
It is recommended to provide bank water isolation valves
for proper isolation and maintenance of the chiller, pump
and strainer (See Water Piping Configurations on page 16).
Strainers – Minimum 60 Mesh Screen Required
ClimaCool chillers utilize brazed plate heat exchangers
which are extremely sensitive to debris. Therefore, it is
mandatory that all condenser and chilled water systems
include a strainer with a minimum of 60 mesh screen for
proper filtration. The strainers must be installed as shown in
the Water Piping Configurations on page 16 and be in place
at all times when the chiller(s) is/are in operation.
ClimaCool’s warranty does not cover and does not apply to
products which have defects or damages due to freezing
of the water supply, an inadequate or interrupted water
supply, corrosives or abrasives in the water supply, or
improper or inadequate filtration or treatment of the
water supply.
Figure 14 - Temperature Sensors
Figure 15 - Flow Sensors (DPT)
Figures 19 and 20 on page 16). The purpose of the chiller/
heater system bypass is to prevent deadheading of the
pumps when all of the internal unit valves go closed as well
as allow temperature and differential pressure sensors
to sense active flow. The bypass should be sized for an
absolute minimum of one module’s worth of design flow.
Please refer to selection submittals for design flow rates.
Modules can be designated for fixed bypass for heating,
cooling and source flow, however, this limits the number of
modules remaining for that duty. Also, with a module acting
as a bypass increased wear of heat exchangers may be
caused by abrasion from bypass flow.
ClimaCool offers two types of water header bypass kits,
direct return (Figure 16) and reverse return (Figure 17). The
bypass kits must be installed on each water source loop
and controls are integrated with the CoolLogic software.
Installation location can be found on page 16 – Water Piping
Configuration.
This bypass can also be created with field supplied piping.
The design piping must accommodate one module’s worth
of design flow, and be positioned so that the temperature
and differential flow sensors sense active flow in the
bypass mode. (See Figures 19 and 20 on page 16 - Water
Piping Configuration). The field supplied piped chiller/
heater system bypass must be controlled by others. There
are system communication delays, polling and network
conflicts that strictly prohibit the use of ClimaCool sensors
and controls for control of field supplied bypasses or other
field supplied items. Recommended method is to control via
differential pressure or gpm flow meters across the chilled
water/evaporator, hot water/condenser water systems.

Load Side System Bypass (Air Handlers, Fan
Coils, etc.)
A load system bypass is required for preventing pump
deadheading, allowing active flow system sensing and
preventing starving flow from the chiller/heater system.
Examples of an acceptable load side system bypass are:
•
Utilize a quantity of 3-way control valves on the largest
loads farthest from the chiller/heater system.
•
Field piping with a control valve to provide a bypass
across the larger system loads when their 2-way valves
go closed.
Please refer to Figure 18 for a typical load bypass
valve arrangement. The load side system bypass should be
sized for an absolute minimum of one module’s worth of
design flow. (Please refer to selection submittals for design
flow rates). A minimum of (6) six gallons per nominal system
ton are also required to maintain proper system thermal
inertia. This is to avoid short cycling of compressors in the
chiller/heater system as well as prevent nuisance alarms.
Water Piping Configurations
Notes:
1. Figures 19 and 20 are required piping for proper water regulation and distribution through ClimaCool modular chillers.
2. Module order and incoming/outgoing water flow as shown in both Figure 19 and 20 can be set up as either a left-to-right
or right-to-left configuration.
3. Condenser hydronic circuit shown. Piping configurations are similar for the chilled water hydronic circuit.
4. For condenser/heating and chilled water (evaporator) inlet/outlet location dimensions, refer to page 4 - Dimension Data.
5. A pressure differential flow sensor is a required safety device for ClimaCool modular chillers on the chilled and condenser/heating
water circuits.
6. A strainer with a minimum of 60 mesh stainless steel screen is a required safety to protect the brazed plate heat exchangers
on both chilled and
condenser/heating water sides of the system.
7. Maximum water flow rates for both evaporator and condenser/heating water header systems for 30, 50 and 70 ton modules
in one bank is 1,000 gpm.
8. Maximum water flow rates for both evaporator and condenser/heating water header systems for 85 ton modules in one
bank is 2,400 gpm.
9. Bypass is mandatory for systems utilizing motorized valves.
10. Header bypass valve may be installed at either end of bank.
11. For over seven (7) modules, please consult the factory.

It is imperative that the water systems are free from
debris prior to initial operation. See Water Treatment for a
comprehensive list of precautions on page 20.
Filling, Purging and Leak Testing the System
After the water systems have been properly installed,
visually inspect all joints for tightness. If the chiller is to be
installed in an existing system, the cleanliness of the existing
system can be judged from the operating conditions of the
present machines. The cooling tower in particular, should
be inspected and cleaned, if required. It is good practice to
flush and, ideally, to acid wash the existing system before
connecting a new chiller.
The following method is recommended to fill and leak check
the water system for modules WITH Water Isolation Valves:
1.
Close all water isolation valves inside each module
which isolate the individual heat exchangers.
2.
Ensure that all drain valves are closed and that all water
main isolation valves are opened.
3.
The system should be filled with clean water sent
through the strainers and the system checked for leaks.
4.
Once the main water lines and the chiller headers are
filled with clean water, purge and repeat the filling
process at least three times.
5.
All modules are equipped with ¾” fill and flush valves
with lines teed into the inlet and outlet connections into
and out of each heat exchanger. Ensure these ¾” valves
are CLOSED.
6.
Open the water isolation valves inside each modular
chiller and repeat the filling process, this time also
checking for leaks inside each module.
7.
Following the final filling and leak checking procedure,
air should be purged from the system.
The following system is recommended to fill and leak check
the water system for modules WITHOUT Water Isolation
Valves:
1.
Ensure that all drain valves are closed.
2.
All modules are equipped with ¾” fill and flush valves
with lines teed into the inlet and outlet connections into
and out of each heat exchanger. Ensure these ¾” valves
are CLOSED.
3.
The system should be filled with clean water sent
through the strainers and the system checked for leaks.
4.
Once the main water lines and the chiller headers are
filled with clean water, purge and repeat the filling
process at least three times.
5.
Following the final filling and leak checking procedure,
air should be purged from the system.
Cleaning the System
The following method is recommended to properly clean
the water systems:
1.
Before cleaning the system, install a temporary
bypass line between the main supply and return water
headers of both chilled and condenser water systems
when possible. Open the main header bypass lines to
divert the initial water flow around the module heat
exchangers until you are confident the circulating water
is mostly pure.
2.
Provided main header bypass lines are installed, close all
water isolation valves inside all modular chillers equipped
with manual or automatic water isolation valves. If the
modules are NOT equipped with water isolation valves,
we recommend installing 3-way main header bypass
valves so the initial water flow bypasses all module
heat exchangers.
3.
It is mandatory to run the pumps with the strainers in
place (see Starting the Pumps section below for proper
pump startup). All external hydronic branches should be
open to all devices in the system.
4.
Pressure drop across the strainer must be observed
and as pressure change reaches 50% of the initial read,
strainers must be isolated and cleaned.
5.
Open all water isolation valves inside each module
equipped with manual or automatic water isolation
valves (see step 6 for modules NOT equipped with water
valves). If bypass lines are not installed (described in step
1) it is recommended to drain out the initial fill of water
to help flush out debris. Close off the main header bypass
lines referred to in step 1 and open the flow to the main
water headers. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there is no
more debris being collected by the strainers.
6.
If bypass lines are not installed (described in step 1) and
the modules are NOT equipped with water isolation
valves, it is recommended to drain out the initial fill of
water to help flush out debris. Remove and clean the
strainers before refilling and purging the system again.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there is no more debris being
collected by the strainers.
Starting the Pumps
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when starting
the pumps for the first time. The system should be checked
for leaks and air purged with the pumps in operation. The
pressure drop across the heat exchangers will give a good
indication of flow through the system (See Condenser
and Evaporator Water Pressure Drop Charts on page 22).
This should be immediately checked against the expected
pressure drop for the flow rate required. If the pressure
drop begins to fall and the flow rate is falling, this could
indicate the need to clean the strainers.
Filling the Water System
Water quality is of the utmost importance for the proper
care and maintenance of the modular chiller system.
Proper water treatment is a specialized industry and it is
recommended to consult an expert in this field to analyze
the water for compliance with the water quality parameters
listed in Table 1. The materials exposed to the water are
type 316 stainless steel, pure copper and carbon steel.
Other materials may exist external to the ClimaCool chiller.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure these materials are
compatible with the treated water. Regular treatment
of the water will increase longevity of your system.
Failure to provide adequate filtration or treatment of
evaporator and condenser water will void the ClimaCool
module’s warranty.
Heavy-Contaminated Water
In such instances whereby the particulates in the water are
excessive, it is recommended to install an intermediate plate
and frame heat exchanger to isolate the ClimaCool chiller
from the building water system.
Cooling Tower
The cooling tower should be located away from sources of
external contaminates such as trees, dust or grass cuttings.
Insect infiltration can be reduced by eliminating lights near
the tower. A periodic visual inspection of the tower system
should be made and contaminates removed as required.

Chilled Water Temperature
Modules are designed for a leaving water temperature
range from 40°F to 62°F. All cataloged modules can operate
safely in this range without the need of special controls or
glycol additives. Leaving water temperatures below 40°F
can result in evaporator suction temperatures below the
freezing point of water. Therefore, a glycol solution additive
is required that will protect the evaporator from freeze ups
at lower operating suction temperatures. The full range of
leaving chiller fluid using glycol is 20°F to 62°F.
Condenser Water Temperature
The condensers are designed to operate most efficiently
at lower entering water temperatures for lower power
consumption. The expansion valve, however, relies on
the pressure difference across the valve to drive the liquid
refrigerant through. It is necessary to maintain a minimum
pressure differential across the thermal expansion valve
(equivalent to a 30°F difference between saturated
liquid temperature in the condenser and saturated vapor
temperature in the evaporator) to avoid loss of efficiency
and system performance. This pressure differential is most
commonly ensured by cycling the fans on the cooling tower
to maintain the entering condenser water temperature
above the minimum temperature of 60°F. An alternate
method to maintain the minimum entering condenser water
temperature above 60°F is to employ a bypass arrangement
as shown in Figure 24 below. This valve is an automatic
3-way bypass valve, which senses the temperature of the
mixed water entering the condenser. If this mixed water
temperature falls below 60°F the valve will re-circulate
the leaving condenser water and mix it into the entering
condenser water stream (bypassing the cooling tower).
The full range of entering condenser water is 60°F to 95°F
for standard applications and maximum leaving hot water
temperature of 135°F for high temperature applications.
For entering water less than 60°F refer to Motorized Water
Isolation Valves under Options and Accessories on page 41.

All startups must be performed by ClimaCool factory
trained personnel. Prior to chiller startup, there are certain
essential checks which must be completed. Failure to carry
out these checks could result in damage to the chiller
voiding the modules warranty.
Electrical
It is imperative to turn off the main electrical power supply
and follow proper lock-out/tag-out procedures prior to
servicing any of the chiller’s electrical components. The
following procedures can be performed only after the
electrical power is confirmed to be off:
1.
The installation must be inspected and approved by the
respective agent and be in compliance with all local and
national electrical codes.
2.
Check and tighten all electrical terminal connections
on each module as required. Utilize any lock-out/tag-
out procedures required for your project location when
performing this operation. If no procedure exists, take
all precautions necessary to prevent the power from
being turned on. A systematic tightening of all terminals
inside the electrical control panel on each module
should be carried out. This will include the compressor
motor terminals, which would require removal of the
compressor terminal cover. Check connections at each
safety and every termination in the panel.
3.
Verify that a separate 115 volt power supply is used to
power the CoolLogic Control System. Field connections
are simplified requiring only a two conductor shielded
cable daisy chain from the Master Control Panel to the
modules. These control wires should be two-conductor
shielded having #18 AWG minimum up to 50 feet, #16
AWG minimum up to 100 feet, rated at 60°C minimum.
All field wiring must be identified (tagged). Refer to
Power Distribution Drawing on page 53.
4.
All field connections should be checked for tightness.
5.
Check all fuses for proper sizing as indicated on the
chiller data plate and/or the electrical diagram on the
inside door of the electrical panel.
6.
Verify proper operation of the mandatory field installed
pressure differential flow sensor or switch.
7.
On 208/230v units, confirm tranformers are properly
tapped for the measured incoming power supply.
8.
Verify proper installation of the mandatory factory
provided, field installed voltage/phase monitor.
Refrigeration
1.
Refrigerant piping and components should be inspected
for damage.
2.
Place refrigerant gauges on the discharge and suction
access ports of each refrigerant circuit to ensure a
refrigerant charge is present. Leave the gauges on for
compressor rotation check.
3.
Confirm the settings on all pressure sensors.
Water System
1.
Confirm that leak testing has been carried out.
2.
Confirm that the system is clean.
3.
Confirm that necessary water treatment systems
are in place with both the evaporator and condenser
water systems.
4.
Confirm that both the chilled water and condenser
water circulating pumps are operational and water is
flowing through both exchangers.
5.
Shut the entering water valve and blow out some water
to check for particles or coloration from suspended
particles. Record the pressure differential across the
chiller and condenser heat exchangers, measured at the
pete’s ports at each module.
6.
Confirm correct water flow rates through the condenser
and evaporator. Acquire the design parameters for the
chiller bank from the ClimaCool Selection Program data
(available from the local representative). Compare the
measured differential pressures from step 5 above with
the predicted flow rates to ensure proper correlation to
the flow results.
7.
Verify proper installation of the mandatory factory
provided, field installed temperature sensors and
wells (sensor should be fully inserted in the well) and
verify calibration of sensors read through the CoolLogic
Control System.
8.
Confirm installation of mandatory field installed
condenser and chilled water strainers with a minimum
of 60 mesh screens.

All startups must be performed by ClimaCool factory
trained personnel.
1.
Review all items are complete from the Pre-Startup
Check List.
2.
Cross reference model number with submittal sheet
to verify that the units are the correct model type and
voltage requirements.
3.
Verify the location and wiring connections of all main
header temperature sensors (should be a minimum of
36” but no more than 60” from the bank). Confirm that
all sensors are FULLY INSERTED into their sensor wells
and wired back to the correct terminals in the Master
Control Panel.
4.
Verify the location and ports for all water differential
pressure sensors used for flow detection ((+) port piped
to the inlet headers and the (-) ports piped to the outlet
headers).
• Verify the correct wiring using the +5VDC power
supply to the differential sensor inputs.
• Verify the correct output wiring from the differential
sensors back to the master controller universal input
(UI) channels 8 and 11. Confirm inputs 8 & 11 jumpers are
sset for ‘volts’. Note: The differential sensor ports should
NOT be piped to a location which includes strainer
pressure drops.
5.
Verify that all header inlets (condenser and evaporator)
include strainer assemblies equipped with 60 mesh
screens.
6.
Inspect all refrigerant piping for oil leaks which may
have occurred during shipment which might indicate a
refrigerant leak. Check the high pressure cutout setting
of the pressure controls. The setting should be 385 psig
cutout for all UCW models, and 585 psig for all
UCH models.
7.
Verify the location and settings of the phase
loss monitor. It should be in a location to sense the
voltage condition in the main, high voltage panel which
feeds high voltage to each module independently.
(Review Electrical Connection of IO&M on page 10).
Verify the low voltage output wiring from the phase loss
monitor (terminals 4 and 5) back to the main CoolLogic
controller, input channel 12.
8.
Determine if the chiller modules are equipped with
motorized water isolation valves. If so, verify the
settings of the motorized valves auxiliary switch dial
settings, to ensure they close near:
• 15% for source valve (condenser) and for load side
(evaporator or heat)
9.
Confirm that the main water pumps are driven by VFD’s,
and that all VFD’s are controlling the pump speeds to
produce a nominal differential pressure drop across
the chiller bank headers, measured precisely at the
differential pressure sensor locations in step 4 above.
Nominal differential pressure ranges are from 3 to
10 psid.
10. Confirm the jumper locations for all master controller
and module controllers as shown on the wiring diagrams
provided on the inside electrical door panels.
• Set the rotary switches for the MAC Address of the
master controller to be “01.”
• Set the rotary switches for the module controllers to
be “02” for module #1, “03” for module #2, and so on.
11.
Tighten every screw and lug connection inside the
CoolLogic master control panel and inside each module
control panel high voltage section. Check auxiliary
contacts on contactors ensure #1 auxiliary is wired on
the #1 contactor. Open up the compressor junction box
located on the front of each compressor and verify main
electrical terminal lug tightness and the low voltage
wires on protection module.
12. Verify the communication cable wiring to ensure it is
18 AWG, simple two conductor shielded cable and that
the wiring is alone inside solid conduit between the
master control panel and the first module control panel.
Verify the cable’s outer jacket is not stripped more than
one inch. If so, the wires may have become untwisted,
causing signal reflections. Confirm the wires are
connected correctly to the terminal blocks at the
master and each module as follows:
Black wire to Net-
White wire to Net +
Shield wire to Shield
Verify that the shield part of the wires continues the
daisy chain connection through to the last module but,
that this shield is NOT connected to a terminal lug inside
any module.
13. Power-up the master control panel and download the
appropriate clipping file into the master controller,
following instructions.
14. Power up each module control panel, turn OFF the two
toggle switches located on the inside bottom of the low
voltage side of the module electrical panel. Download
the appropriate clipping file into the module controllers,
following instructions.
15. Check for proper line or high voltage values at each
module input power block, and the 24 VAC low voltage
values for correctness (+/- 10% of nominal values).
16. On 208/230V units, confirm transformer(s) are properly
tapped for the measured incoming power supply.
17. Use refrigerant gauge set suitable for the high pressure
R-410A, and hook up to the suction and discharge ports
of each module’s compressor stages separately.
Bump start the compressors either by depressing
the contactor manually, or by using the manual run
commands from the Master Control Panel, (found in
the FN 7, or the service menu). Bump the compressor
only for 1-2 seconds to ensure the correct rotation of
the scroll compressors (indicated by a rising highside
pressure and a falling suction pressure).
Startup
18. Verify proper communications from each module back
to the master controller using the “STATUS” menu, then
indexing down to the desired compressor data screen.
• If the compressor data parameters all read “0,”
then communications are not yet established, and
communications cable troubleshooting is required.
• When all compressor data parameters read actual
values which agree with the refrigerant gauge set and
refrigerant line temperatures, then it is safe to assume
that communications are established.
19. Set up the master controller parameters according to
the specific job submittal sheets.
• All parameters can be found in the FN 2 menu (setup),
FN 6 menu (module factory settings), FN 7 menu
(service), FN 8 menu (master factory settings).
•It is imperative to access EVERY MENU and EVERY
PARAMETER to ensure all settings are appropriate.
20. Set up the Building Automation System (BAS) interface
parameters (as required) using the FN 0 menu (network
number selection, IP addressing), FN 4 menu
(device instances).
Adjusting Unit Charge and Thermal Expansion
Valves Using Subcooling and Superheat Method
Due to varying installation conditions/applications and
to optimize performance, proper refrigerant charge
and thermal expansion valve (TXV) adjustment must be
confirmed.
After checking compressor rotation, choose a circuit to be
tested first. Connect test equipment to monitor the suction
line and liquid line temperatures simultaneously. Place a
manifold gauge set on the suction line and liquid line then
start the compressor. As long as the suction pressure is high
enough to prevent the low pressure switch from tripping,
run the compressor for five minutes.
Verify proper subcooling. This is accomplished by
subtracting the liquid line temperature from the saturated
condensing temperature. The saturated condensing
temperature is found by converting the liquid line pressure
reading on the manifold gauge to the related temperature.
The normal subcooling temperature range at the condenser
is 5-15°F, BUT for total accuracy please follow the charge
recommendations found in the selection program. If
subcooling is too low, then refrigerant must be added to the
system. Add charge and wait five minutes before checking
results. If subcooling is too high, then refrigerant must be
removed from the system.
Verify proper superheat by subtracting the saturated
evaporative temperature from the suction line temperature.
The saturated evaporative temperature is found by
converting the suction pressure reading on the manifold
gauge to the related temperature. The proper superheat
temperature range is 6-18°F at normal operating conditions
(typically 44oF leaving chilled water temperature). If
superheat is low, this may indicate that the expansion valve
is overfeeding. To adjust the expansion valves, turn the
adjustment stem clockwise. This will cause the superheat
to rise. Wait five minutes before checking the results of this
adjustment. Repeat until the desired superheat is achieved.
Once adjusted, also check the discharge gas superheat
(DGSH) to confirm reading is not less than 50°F and the
discharge line temperature is not more that 220°F. To
check discharge gas superheat, first obtain the saturated
condensing temperature by converting the discharge
pressure to saturated refrigerant temperature using a
pressure temperature chart. Next, measure the discharge
line temperature 6 to 10 inches from the compressor.
Subtract the saturated condensing temperature from
the discharge line temperature to find the discharge gas
superheat. If the DGSH is below 50°F, liquid refrigerant
is still present in the suction gas vapor returning to the
compressor. The TXV will require additional clockwise
adjustment to raise the discharge gas superheat into the
acceptable range.

Weekly
•
Review daily log from previous week.
•
Perform visual inspection.
•
Properly document all data taken.
•
Note any problems that may exist and immediately
plan for further investigation. If repair is necessary,
schedule for the earliest possible date.
Quarterly
•
Check Master Control Panel operating parameters
and set points.

•
Check all electrical connections for tightness.
* The temperature drop/rise on a fully loaded (both
compressors) heat exchanger is generally 10°F. If only
one compressor is running the temperature drop/rise
will be approximately 5°F. Some projects are designed to
have a higher or lower temperature drop on either the
evaporator or the condenser depending on application.
Consult the bank performance sheet for your specific
project for these values. If the temperature drop/rise
is greater than the design, your heat exchanger may
need to be back flushed or the strainer may need to
be cleaned.

Very Hot Water!
L’eau Trés Chaude!
WARNING/AVERTISSEMENT
When performing standard maintenance procedures
such as flushing a heat exchanger, it will be necessary to
close off a section of a module. This can easily be done
if factory mounted water isolation valves are provided.
Access to a floor drain is helpful when performing standard
maintenance procedures.
Back Washing
It may become evident from the recorded weekly log
data that the performance of the chiller is gradually
degrading. This could be due to a buildup of debris or sludge
obstructing the free passage of flow through the heat
exchangers. This debris can be removed by a back washing
process which involves the introduction of a forced, violent
backwards flow through the heat exchanger using a
carefully formulated flushing solution. To be effective, this
back flow should be slightly higher than the normal flow,
and in the opposite direction. The difficulties and practicality
of this method depend on the back wash pumping system
itself. Another method is to back flush each heat exchanger
using city water as opposed to system water (see
Figure 25 – City Water Cleaning Arrangement on page 33).
The back washing procedure is accomplished by isolating
each individual heat exchanger and introducing the city
water using a connection hose to the ¾” service port to flow
in an opposite direction from the normal heat exchanger
flow direction. On the opposite ¾” service port, connect a
drain hose to run to a suitable floor drain. Continue the back
flow until all debris is removed. Warning: Water valves must
be re-opened after flushing is complete.
Chemical Clean In Place Washing Without Water
Isolation Valves
Chemical Clean in place washing will typically provide
the best debris removal, even from severely clogged
heat exchangers. In order to clean the heat exchangers
for modules WITHOUT water isolation valves, it will be
necessary to mechanically and electrically isolate each
module separately from the bank of modules. The rest of
the chiller modules will need to be disabled during this
cleaning procedure as the flow through the main bank
header will be interrupted. The cleaning tank, pump and
pump strainer should be arranged in the manner shown in
Figure 26 - In Place Cleaning Arrangement (page 33). The
flow of the cleaning is arranged in the opposite flow to
the normal operational direction. Connection points are
provided using the ¾” service ports at each heat exchanger.
The cleaning solution used can be either a detergent or hot
water to remove particles and simple cleaning. If correct
water treatment has been implemented, this should provide
adequate cleaning for most situations. The solution can
be pumped through the heat exchangers and allowed to
“soak” for a time and then pumped again. Upon successful
cleaning of a module, proceed to isolate a second module
separately from the bank to repeat the cleaning process.
Chemical Clean In Place Washing With Water
Isolation Valves
Chemical Clean in place washing will typically provide the
best debris removal, even from severely clogged heat
exchangers. It is only necessary to mechanically
and electrically isolate one module at a time. The rest
of the chiller modules can continue to operate to satisfy
the required cooling load. The cleaning tank, pump and
pump strainer should be arranged in the manner shown in
Figure 26 - In Place Cleaning Arrangement on page 33.
The flow of the cleaning is arranged in the opposite flow
to the normal operational direction. Connection points are
provided using the ¾” service ports at each heat exchanger.
The cleaning solution used can be either a detergent or hot
water to remove particles and simple cleaning. If correct
water treatment has been implemented, this should provide
adequate cleaning for most situations. The solution can be
pumped through the heat exchangers and allowed to soak
for a time and then pumped again.
If it is required to remove carbonates, then an acidic wash
should be used. A 2% solution of phosphoric or sulfamic
acids in pure water are generally acceptable. These acid
solutions should only be allowed to circulate within the heat
exchanger for 10 to 15 minutes, followed by a thorough pure
water flush for 10 to 15 minutes. Hydrochloric or sulfuric
acids must not be used. In any case, consult the chemical
supplier to establish the correct formulation and handling
process. The materials exposed to the wash are stated on
page 20 – Water Treatment.
Once the washing is complete, the solution should be
flushed out completely by pumping clean, fresh water
through the chiller. To achieve a reasonable level of dilution,
it may be required to change the water several times. After
cleaning, the water quality and water treatment should
be confirmed.

Note:
1. The minimum/maximum flow rates are based on approximate temperature differential of 5oF to 20oF through the evaporator and 5oF
to 30oF through the condenser. Flow rates vary based on applocationl verify with selection software.
Model UCW/H uses scroll compressors which are highly
efficient and extremely reliable. The information contained
in this manual will be useful for their care.
Compressor Rotation
All scroll-type machines are unidirectional and will only
compress in one direction. Operating in the reverse rotation
can be destructive and will be indicated by a loud operating
noise together with a lack of compression.
Compressor Anti-Short Cycle Timer
Built into the logic of the CoolLogic Control System is an
anti-short cycle timer which will prevent the compressors
from restarting immediately following a compressor
shutdown. Minimum on 75 seconds and minimum off 200
seconds.
Compressor Lubrication
The compressor operates on a sealed system and oil can
only be lost if a leak occurs. There are few cases when oil
will need to be added to a machine in normal operation.
Oil Type
The oil in scroll compressors will be either Polyolester type
oil (POE) or polyvinyl-ether type oil (PVE). Both refrigerant
oils require special handling and should be protected
from contamination. They are extremely hygroscopic and
will absorb moisture rapidly from the air. It is strongly
recommended to store and dispense both oils from sealed
metal cans. Note: Refer to compressor name plate for
proper oil type. Different oils cannot be mixed.
Oil Levels
The oil level in the compressor should be checked with the
compressor running. The compressor oil level may vary
during operation and particularly on the startup. The normal
operating compressor oil level should be between 1/3 and 1/2
of the sight glass. During operation, a certain amount of oil
is carried out into the refrigerant system. The system has
been designed to bring the oil back to the compressor. If the
level in the sight glass falls, it may be due to the operating
conditions and enough time should be given to allow the oil
to return before more oil is added. This could take up to six
hours of operation. The compressor should not be allowed
to operate with less than 1/8 of the sight glass for longer than
four to six hours.
Adding Oil
The compressor must never be ran in a vacuum. A suitable
hydraulic pump should be used to add oil and reserved for
this process. It is imperative that oil type be verified prior
to adding to a compressor. Oil should only be added to a
compressor while it is operating to observe valid oil sight
glass levels. Oil is pressure-injected either into a gauge
connection on the suction line or injected into the oil
process port at the bottom of the compressor housing. Only
enough oil should be added to raise the level above the 1/3
sight glass point.

(WHEN USED)
Conforming to local and national codes is the responsibility
of the service technician or installing contractor. The service
technician should be familiar with the following codes:
• ASHRAE Standard Safety Code for Mechanical
Refrigeration, ANSI/ASHRAE 15-1978
• American National Standard Code for Pressure Piping,
ANSI B31.5-1974
Factory Tested
ClimaCool modular chillers have been pressure-tested,
evacuated, fully charged and run tested at design water
flow rates prior to shipment. In the unlikely event that
a refrigerant leak is detected at startup, the following
guidelines should be consulted before reprocessing the
refrigeration systems.
Refrigerant System Reprocessing
Debris and moisture can enter copper tubing in a matter
of minutes. All tubing, coil connections or any refrigerant
containing portions should be temporarily capped or sealed
to keep contaminants to a minimum. Filter driers should
be opened just prior to brazing into the system to prevent
moisture infiltration whenever possible, and flood the
system with low pressure dry nitrogen while brazing to
prevent oxidation inside the copper piping.
After all of the repairs have been made to the refrigeration
system, a pressure test using refrigerant and nitrogen
should be performed. Pressurize the system with dry
nitrogen to 20 psi and check for any obvious leaks. If no
leaks are present, introduce a “trace” amount of refrigerant
to the system (raise system pressure to 30-40 psi). With a
dry nitrogen tank equipped with a regulator set to 150 psi,
continue to pressurize the system to 150 psi. Using a leak
detector, carefully check the system for any remaining leaks.
If the system is free of leaks you may release the pressure.
Evacuating the System
The compressors should never run while the system is
in a vacuum. This could cause immediate failure to the
compressors. After the system has been leak tested and
sealed, any moisture that entered the system should be
dehydrated and removed. While the pressure is reduced
under a vacuum, the boiling point of moisture trapped
inside the lines is also reduced. A pressure of .0095 psia, or
500 microns absolute pressure or better must be reached
and sustained for several hours in order for the system to
be considered free from moisture. It is necessary to use a
micron meter equipped with an absolute pressure gauge (or
transducer) to take this reading. ClimaCool recommends the
triple evacuation process to ensure the proper removal of
moisture and contaminants from the refrigeration system.
After the initial vacuum is reached and held on the system,
allow dry nitrogen back into the system until the pressure
reaches zero psig or slightly higher. Then, repeat the entire
evacuation process described above. The evacuation
process is considered complete ONLY after a successful
“blank-off” test is performed.
A “blank-off” test is defined as:
•
Pulling a vacuum level less than 500 microns on the
system and holding it for several hours.
•
Record the vacuum level in the system in microns,
then close off the vacuum pump from the system for
15 minutes, and continue to monitor the micron level
inside the refrigeration system.
•
If the vacuum level inside the system does NOT rise
more than 400 microns above the recorded vacuum
level at the start of the 15 minute period, then the
evacuation process is complete.
If the vacuum level rises more than 400 microns in 15
minutes, then continue to evacuate the system for 1-2 hours,
and repeat a “blank-off” test.
Recharging the System
After all repairs have been completed, the system has
been leak tested and proper vacuum pressures have been
reached and maintained, refrigerant may be recharged
into the system. With a known weight of refrigerant in
the cylinder, use the gauge manifold set to connect the
cylinder’s liquid charging port to the charging access port
near the refrigerant liquid line valve. Open the compressor
suction and discharge line valves, if available. Gradually
meter the appropriate weight of liquid refrigerant into
the condenser side of the system first, until no additional
refrigerant can be dispensed. Accurate refrigerant charge
per circuit may be found in the Physical Data information
on page 3. Then continue the charging process by filling the
evaporator side of the system with refrigerant. Close the
refrigerant cylinder charging port, close all gauge manifold
ports and start the compressor. Be careful when continuing
to charge the balance of the refrigerant, constantly
maintaining a positive compressor suction pressure
(>25 psig) at all times.
Refrigeration System Re-Processing and Charging
ATTENTION
To avoid the release of refrigerant into the atmosphere, the
refrigerant circuit of this unit must be serviced only by
technicians who meet local, state and federal proficiency
requirements.
All refrigerant discharged from this unit must be recovered
WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Technicians must follow industry
accepted guidelines and all local, state and federal statues for
the recovery and disposal of refrigerants.
If a compressor is removed from the unit, system refrigerant
circuit oil will remain in the compressor. To avoid leakage of
compressor oil, the refrigerant lines of the compressor must be
sealed after it is removed.

Engineering Guide Specifications
General
Factory-assembled and wired water cooled, water chiller.
Chiller consists of two compressors, one evaporator and
condenser, safety and operational controls. The modular
water cooled package chiller shall incorporate one or more
modules with two independent refrigerant circuits. Modules
shall be capable of independent operation powered by a
field installed fused disconnect switch (or equivalent circuit
breaker) supplied by others, so that any one module can
be shut down for repair without interrupting the remaining
chiller modules in operation.
Basic Construction
The frame design shall consist of heavy gauge galvanized
steel with 3 mil powder coat paint finish baked at 350° for
resilience in transport and installation. The module must
have a low center of gravity, detachable schedule 40 carbon
steel pipe water headers, designed to connect to adjacent
modules through the use of 300 psi rated grooved cou-
plings, base with cutouts for forklift or pallet jack and the
frame must be designed to fit through a standard 36”
doorway. Each module has sound attenuation panels to
ensure quiet operation.
Refrigeration Circuit
All refrigeration circuits shall contain R-410A non-ozone
depleting HFC. Each independent circuit shall consist of a
scroll compressor, thermostatic expansion valve for
refrigerant metering, sight glass, filter drier and high and
low pressure safety controls. The modular chiller bank must
be able to produce chilled water even in the event of a
failure of one or more refrigerant circuits.
Evaporator
Each evaporator shall be highly efficient, refrigerant-
to-water, dual circuited, brazed plate heat exchangers
constructed of 300 stainless steel; designed, tested, and
UL stamped in accordance with ASME Section VIII pressure
vessel code for 650 psig working refrigerant pressure.
The evaporator heat exchanger shall be mounted to
eliminate the effect of migration of refrigerant to the cold
evaporation with consequent liquid slugging on startup.
The evaporator shall be mounted on two layers of noise
attenuating rubber isolation pads which also act as a
thermal barrier. The evaporator shall be wrapped with ¾”
closed cell insulated blanket. The closed cell insulation s
hall be provided on suction side refrigerant tubing
including refrigerant-to-chiller heat exchanger to
prevent condensation
Condenser
Each condenser shall be highly efficient, refrigerant-
to-water, dual circuited, brazed plate heat exchangers
constructed of 300 stainless steel; designed, tested, and
UL stamped in accordance with ASME Section VIII pressure
vessel code for 650 psig working refrigerant pressure on
the condenser. The condenser heat exchanger shall be
mounted to eliminate the effect refrigerant migration to
the cold evaporation with consequent liquid slugging on
startup. The condenser shall be mounted on two layers of
noise attenuating rubber isolation pads which also acts as a
thermal barrier.
Compressors
Each module shall contain two scroll compressors
independently circuited for redundancy. Each compressor
shall be mounted with rubber isolated compressor mounts
to the module base and each shall include compressor
overload protection, high discharge pressure and low
suction pressure cutouts.
Control Panel
Master Controllers shall be provided for individual control
as well as system integration. The control shall consist of
a simple two-conductor shielded daisy chain connection to
allow communication between modules with minimal field
wiring. The remote air cooled chiller control panel shall
be a NEMA Type 1 enclosure including: power distribution
block, compressor fusing, contactors, finger safe control
fusing, transformer, isolation relays, status and alarm
relay, 16-bit microprocessor master controller with built in
native Building Automation System (BAS) communication
protocols, (BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus and N2), status
indicating lights showing: 1) compressor operation (on/off),
2) unit alarm status, 3) power on, two toggle switches to
disable each individual compressor during start-up
or troubleshooting.
CoolLogic Control System
Remote Master Control system shall be fully compatible
with the Building Automation System via native BACnet and
LonWorks, Modbus and N2 communication. Scheduling
of the various compressors shall be performed by the
master microprocessor based controller. A compressor
run time equalization sequence is provided to ensure even
distribution of compressor run time. A load limit control
shall be available to limit the number of compressors that
can be energized at one time.
The CoolLogic Control System shall monitor and report the
following for each refrigeration circuit in each module:
•
Discharge pressure and temperature faults
•
Suction pressure and temperature faults
•
Compressor winding high temperature fault
•
Low evaporator leaving chilled water temperature fault
Engineering Guide Specifications
The Master Controller shall monitor and report the following
system parameters for the chiller system:
•
Chilled water entering and leaving temperature
•
Condenser water entering and leaving temperature
•
Evaporator and condenser water flow availability
Any module failure condition shall cause a “fault”
indication at the Master Control Panel and shutdown
of that compressor circuit with the transfer of the load
requirements to the next available compressor circuit. In
the case of a system “fault” the entire chiller will be shut
down. When any fault occurs, the CoolLogic Control System
shall record conditions at the time of the fault, and store
the data for recall. This information shall be capable of
recall through the keypad of the Master Control Panel and
displayed on the 4 line by 40 character, back-lit LCD. A
history of faults shall be maintained including date and time
for each fault (up to the last 100 occurrences). Internal
leaving chilled water reset control will insure that the
parallel evaporators are operated above the freeze point
for part load operation.
Factory Testing
Each remote air cooled chiller module shall be pressure-
tested, evacuated and charged with nitrogen.
Automatic CS Series Strainer Package

Safety Considerations
Prior to installation, this manual must be read carefully
and all instruction understood. Personal injury or product
damage can occur if the following safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored. We strongly recommend that you
follow these safety precautions and avoid the potential
hazards listed below when operating and maintaining
the strainer:
1.
After unpacking your strainer, carefully inspect your
strainer housing, lid assembly and screen for damaged
or missing parts. Contact ClimaCool’s customer service
department for any replacement parts.
2.
The strainer should not be modified or used in a
manner not consistent with the manufacture’s
recommendations. If there are any questions regarding
its application or installations, contact ClimaCool’s
customer service department.
3.
Absolutely under no conditions should the strainer lid or
pressure gauges be removed while the strainer
is pressurized.
4.
Standard bolted lid models should never exceed 150 psi;
V-Band clamp models should never exceed 125 psi.
5.
Install back-flow prevention devices (or check valves)
both upstream and downstream of the strainer to
prevent back flow or vacuum effects which can cause
damage to the strainer housing or screen.
6.
Install properly sized pressure relief valves both
upstream and downstream of the strainer. This will
help prevent damage to the strainer and screen in the
event that water flow is stopped abruptly, or if water
hammering occurs. The pressure relief valves should
be set to relieve pressure at 1.2 times the strainer’s
maximum operating pressure (not to exceed the
maximum rated pressure). Consult your local dealer or
pressure relief valve manufacturer to obtain properly
sized valves for your application.
Note: Minimum 60 mesh screen is required. At no time
should the internal pressure exceed the maximum rated
pressure of the strainer.
Strainer Installation Recommendations
Follow the recommended guidelines below for strainer
installation:
1.
The Carbon Steel (CS) strainer should be placed on a
firm, supporting surface. Failure to do so can cause
stress on the weld joints. It is recommended a concrete
pad be poured under the base of the strainer. The
weight of the CS strainer should not be supported by
the main water lines connecting it.
2.
The inlet and outlet connections should be securely
fastened. The arrows depict flow direction (see
Figure 27).
3.
The back-mount pressure gauges should be installed
in the gauge ports located on the front of the strainer
body. These gauges will allow you to monitor the
pressure differential across the strainer screen providing
an indication when the strainer element is clogged and
requires cleaning.
4.
The CS strainer lid must be securely fastened according
to the following torque specifications to ensure product
safety and an adequate seal.
Torque Specifications
Clamped Lid Models: CS strainer models 3CS and 4CS have
“over-center latch clamp” lid designs. The over-center
clamp does not require adjustment when installing or
removing the lid. The lock washer is set at the factory for
proper clamp compression and normally requires no field
adjustment. Minor tightening may be necessary over time.
The lids are installed as follows:
1.
Place the clamp around the strainer lid.
2.
Latch the T-bolt with the receiver and push the latch
handle towards the strainer body until the safety
catch engages.
Bolted Lid Models: CS strainer models 6CS, 8CS and 10CS
have “bolted” lid designs. Grade 5 zinc-plated bolts, nuts
and washers are used to attach the lids to these strainers.
See Table 3 for proper lid bolt size and torque rating for each
strainer (See page 43). (Exercise care when tightening the lid
bolts so as not to damage the strainer lid or housing).
It is important to follow the torque specifications as
over-tightening may result in premature failure of the bolts.
It is equally important to follow a star wheel torque pattern
when tightening the lid bolts (See Figure 28). The strainer lid
may not be seated down completely after the first torque
sequence. A second torque sequence should be adequate to
seat the lid securely to the body.
Stainless Steel Strainer Option
Periodically, it will be necessary to flush out the debris that is
collected and settles to the bottom of the strainer reservoir.
CS-3 strainers must have a valve installed on the drainage
port. The larger CS strainers (4CS, 6CS, 8CS and 10CS) are
equipped with a flush port (or drainage port) extending inside
the strainer. When it becomes time to clean the strainer,
the flush port valve should be opened while the strainer
is in operation (while pressurized and with water flowing).
A thorough flushing of the strainer reservoir will depend upon
the length of time the flush valve remains opened. This flush
time will typically range from 15 to 60 seconds depending
on the flow, inlet water pressure and the amount of debris
collected by the strainer. As a general rule, the larger strainers
will require higher inlet water pressures in order to achieve
a complete flushing. For example, the 4CS model can be
flushed with inlet water pressures as low as 15-20 psi, while
the 6CS can be flushed with 30-35 psi. The 8CS and 10CS
models should be flushed with inlet water pressures greater
than 40 psi.
Note: When shutting down the chiller for extended
periods of time, the strainer should be isolated and
completely drained.
Strainer Element Cleaning
If your strainer assembly is equipped with optional pressure
gauges, you will be able to monitor the pressure differential
between the inlet and outlet sides of the strainer. When this
pressure differential reaches 5-10 psi the strainer element
may require cleaning.
Caution: Prior to dismantling the strainer for cleaning, it
is imperative that the strainer assembly is isolated and
completely de-pressurized.
Follow the steps below when cleaning the CS strainer
element:
Step 1.
(Bolted Lid Models): Remove the top of the
strainer by removing the Grade 5 Zinc plated bolts
from the lid.
Step 1.
(Clamped Lid Models): Remove the top of the
strainer by taking off the band-clamp assembly.*
Step 2.
Lift the strainer element (conical screen) out of
the strainer body.
Step 3.
Carefully scrub down the strainer element with
a rigid nylon brush until all matter is loosened.
Do not use a steel brush.
Step 4.
Wash the strainer element off with clean water.
It is preferable to use a hose with a significant
amount of water pressure.
Do not use a pressure washer.
Step 5.
Wash all matter from the strainer gaskets and
clean the inner-ring where the bottom of the
strainer element rests.
Step 6.
Make sure the U-shaped gasket is fitted securely
to the bottom of the strainer element.
Reposition the strainer element into the body of
the strainer.
Step 7.
Make sure the strainer head gasket is secure
on top of the strainer body. On V-band models,
O-rings should be seated completely in the body
flange. Reposition the strainer lid back on the
strainer body. Tighten the lid securely either with
the bolts or with the band-clamp.
* For clamped models, opening and closing is achieved
without adjusting the lock nut. It is tightened at the
factory to the correct compression. (Minor tightening
may be necessary if the gasket loses memory over time.)
To open the clamp, depress the safety latch and pull the
over-center lever outward. To close the clamp, make
sure the T-bolt is seated in its receiver and push the
over-center lever back toward the strainer housing.
Be sure that the safety latch is engaged before putting
the unit to use.

What is Water Hammer?
Water hammer is a phenomenon that can occur in fluid
systems with long pipes. Water hammer is a rapid change
of pressure caused by a rapid change in velocity. If the flow
has been abruptly shut off downstream, the pressure in the
entire system is raised very quickly.
What Causes Water Hammer?
Any action that can cause a rapid change in the velocity
of the flow can set off a water hammer, such as closing a
downstream valve, pump stoppage, etc. Typically, for short
lengths of pipe (below 500 feet) downstream valves that
are closed within 1/10 of a second can generate
water hammer.
What Can Water Hammer Do?
Pressure spikes from water hammer can raise fluid pressures
to dangerously high values. These pressure spikes can cause
serious damage to valves, pipes, strainers, joints, etc. The
CS strainer is rated to an absolute maximum pressure of 150
psi for bolted lid models, and 125 psi for clamped lid models.
A water hammer pressure spike that raises the pressure
higher than the maximum rated pressure may result in
strainer damage, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
What Can I Do to Prevent Water Hammer?
There are certain precautions that can be taken to prevent
or decrease the effect of water hammer. The addition of a
surge tank or accumulator fitted with a suitable pressure
relief valve strategically located within the water system
may provide adequate protection against the effects from
water hammer. Careful attention should be given to the
design and control strategy for valves and pumps so their
actions do not invite a water hammer.
Stainless Steel Strainer Options
Automatic Timer Flush (ATF) Package Option
The ATF-EA-1.5 flush valve package provides an automatic
method for flushing away the debris collected in the
strainer’s reservoir. The power supply and timer controls for
the valve package are housed inside the ATF control box.
The ATF controls can be pre-programmed to set the flushing
duration and the time interval between flushes.
System Components
1.
Timer based valve controller: (see Figure 29) sets the
flush duration (length of the flush) and the flush interval
(time between flushes).
2.
Electric Ball Valve: designed for dirty water use (see
Figures 29 and 30).

Stainless Steel Strainer Option
Flush valve line must be piped to atmospheric pressure such
as an open floor drain. The flush line should not undergo any
changes in elevation and should be sloped downward in the
direction of drainage. Do not pipe the flush or drain line into
a pressurized line.
Note: The Automatic Timer Flush Package needs to be
programmed when it is received by the end-user. The
programming is simple and takes only a few moments.
However, because every application has different
parameters that affect the required frequency between
flushes and the duration of the flush, the end-user must
choose the controller’s settings (refer to your specific
strainer manual).
To Program the ATF Controller
1.
Plug the transformer into a 120-VAC outlet.
2.
Insert the 12-VDC plug coming from the transformer into
the jack on the underside of the ATF box.
3.
Test for power by pressing the manual flush side of the
control switch (lower switch light should come on then
the valve will start to open).
4.
Adjust the “ON TIME” (Valve Open) by turning the
inner timer ring with the GREEN POINTER clockwise to
increase duration. The ON TIME RANGE is factory set at
eight seconds. (See Figure 29).
5.
Adjust the “OFF TIME” (Valve Close) by turning the
outer ring with the RED POINTER clockwise to increase
duration. The OFF TIME RANGE is factory set at twenty-
four (24) hours. (See Figure 29).
6.
Set the control switch to auto flush. The red off light
on the timer will come on and the upper light on the
switch will come on and stay on. During the flush cycle
the on light on the timer and the lower switch light will
come on.
Control Switch
Control switch flushing is initiated by pressing and holding
down the manual control switch located on the front of the
controller (See Figure 30). The manual flush control switch
can also be used to conveniently drain the water out of the
strainer before removing the conical screen element from the
strainer housing. A yellow indicator arrow on top of the ATF
valve will rotate in sync with the ball valve to show the valve
position (open or closed). When the manual flush control
switch is released, the valve will automatically close.
SAFETY FIRST! - Keep fingers away from valve opening to
avoid getting caught in the moving parts. The electric motor
supplied a sufficient amount of power to cause personal
injury. Take precaution when handling.
Water Resistance
The valve and controller are water-resistant, but not
water-proof. Do not install below ground level where the
component can be submerged in water. Only remove
the cover plate from the valve controller when setting or
changing the flush settings. Keep the cover tightly sealed on
the unit during normal operation.
Pressure Differential Alarm Package Option
The pressure differential alarm (PDA) option continually
monitors and displays the strainer’s inlet and outlet
differential pressure. When the strainer element (conical
strainer basket) becomes significantly clogged, the pressure
differential switch-gauge will trigger an audible siren and
a visual flashing alarm light. These alarms are intended to
alert maintenance personnel that the strainer element
must be removed and cleaned (See Strainer Element Cleaning
on page 43).

Operation Instructions
Remove the power supply and insert the connector end into
the socket on the bottom of the PDA housing (See Figure
32 above) and plug the transformer into the power source.
Standard systems are supplied with a 120V power supply to
the primary of the transformer, with an output secondary of
12 VDC. The pressure differential switch-gauge is factory set
to 7-8 psi. The CS strainer operates at a pressure differential
slightly less than 1 psi during maximum flow when the
strainer screen is clean. By the time the differential pressure
reaches 7-8 psi, the strainer element will be significantly
clogged and require immediate removal and cleaning. To
adjust the pressure differential switch-gauge setting, insert
a 1/16” allen wrench and rotate the differential set point
contact to the desired location (See Figure 32). Note: It is not
recommended to set the differential switch-gauge higher
than 10 psi. Disabling the alarm or increasing the alarm set
point could result in damage to the strainer element and
allow debris to pass into the system.
Stainless Steel Strainer Option
When the differential set point is reached both the audible
and visual alarms will be triggered and will remain engaged
until both the alarm condition is corrected and the
alarm-reset button is pressed (if the alarm-reset button is
pressed but the differential pressure is beyond the set point,
the alarms will re-engage immediately). After the strainer
is cleaned and put back in service, the differential pressure
should return to 1 psi.
Auxiliary Contacts
The PDA option is equipped with a remote alarm feature.
The remote alarm contacts are located at the two black and
red banana clip posts (See Figure 32). The alarm can be set
up in one of two ways:
1.
A remote alarm signal of 12 VDC can be sent to a central
monitoring station or
2.
A set of auxiliary contacts will indicate a “closed”
condition when the alarm activates. (Locate the
Auxiliary Contact Schematic inside the PDA box by
removing the four screws on the cover plate).
Water Resistance
The Pressure Differential Alarm Controller is water-resistant,
but not water proof. Do not install below ground level
where the box can be submerged in water. Do not remove
the cover plate from the PDA controller. Keep the cover
tightly sealed on the module during normal operation.

Pre Installation Checklist:
1.
Ensure working conditions (pressure/temperature)
are within the specified capacity of the product being
installed. Please refer to the certified drawings to assist
in determining these values.
2.
Inspect all sealing surfaces to ensure gasket surfaces
are free of defects (no nicks or cuts). The pipeline
should also be checked for proper alignment. WYE
strainers should never be utilized to realign an existing
piping system.
3.
Ensure that the pipeline’s mating flanges are the same
type as the WYE strainer being installed. Raised face
flange ends cannot be mated to flat face flange ends.
4.
Ensure strainer end-to-end length and installation
gap are within 1/4 in gap for gasket, and have sufficient
clearance for easy opening of cover and screen removal.
5.
If the WYE strainer is to be located on the discharge side
of a pump, then a safety release valve must be installed
between the WYE strainer and the pump.
Figure 34: WYE Strainer - Flanged Ends
WYE Strainers
Figure 33: WYE Strainer Straining Illustration
Figure 35: Bolting Sequence Pattern
Note: Excessive bolt torque may damage flanges. Please
refer to established flange bolt torques for guidelines.
Installation Procedure:
1.
Also, for maximum efficiency, install a differential
pressure gauge at inlet and outlet connections or at the
strainer gauge tap (if provided).
2.
WYE strainers must be positioned in the pipeline ahead
of the equipment requiring protection.
3.
To provide for easier maintenance, the WYE strainer
should be located where the drain plug can be removed.
Additionally, ensure the drain or blow-off is located at
the lowest position when installed. If installed in the
vertical position, the WYE side of the strainer must be
pointing downward.
4.
Ensure there is ample space at the WYE side of the
strainer for screen removal.
5.
Before placing the WYE strainer into place, support the
existing pipeline with pipe supports near the inlet and
outlet connections.
6.
Place the WYE strainer into the pipeline ensuring
that the flow arrow on the body of the WYE strainer
is pointing in the direction of the pipeline flow. For
large or heavy strainers, appropriate material handling
equipment must be used.
7.
Install a standard ANSI (1/8” thick) flange gasket
between the WYE strainer and pipeline flanges, on
both sides. Install lubricated flange bolts and hand
tighten. Flange bolts should then be tightened, using
a star or crisscross pattern to evenly load the bolts, in
accordance with established piping standards. This is
illustrated in Figure 35.

Operation
Once proper installation has been successfully completed,
start the system gradually, at start up as well as after shut
down. This eliminates sudden shock to the strainer and
other equipment in the line. This is extremely important for
steam service.
WYE strainers require little monitoring once they are
properly installed. The pressure differential across the
strainer should be checked periodically to determine if the
screen needs to be cleaned or replaced. If the pressure
differential goes unchecked and the screen becomes
completely clogged, the screen will break and require
replacing. Note: Strainer screens are not designed to
withstand the same pressure ratings as the housings. If the
screen becomes completely clogged, it will be exposed to
the same pressure as the housing. In most cases, this will
cause the screen to fail and potentially damage downstream
equipment.
Regular maintenance involves:
•
Timely cleaning or replacement of screen
•
Periodically checking for leaks
During normal use, the screen will become clogged
with foreign matter, causing the differential pressure to
increase. Once the differential pressure has increased to
an unacceptable value, typically by 5 psi to 10 psi, it is time
to clean or replace the screen. It is not advisable to let the
differential pressure increase by 20 psi. This may cause the
screen to fail and possibly damage downstream equipment.
A convenient and safe way to determine when the screen
needs to be replaced is to install pressure gauges on
the inlet and outlet sides of the strainer. The maximum
acceptable pressure drop across the strainer will indicate
when the screen needs to be replaced. Screen size and
construction determine the maximum pressure drop that a
strainer screen can withstand.
WYE Strainers
Screen Removal/Cleaning/Replacement
1.
Isolate the strainer by closing the inlet and outlet valve
connections on either side of the WYE strainer. Make
sure valves are bubble tight.
2.
Open vent to relieve pressure inside and drain fluid from
the strainer.
3.
Once pressure is relieved, remove the WYE side cap or
cover.
4.
Remove screen and clean. Do not permit screed to
dry as it will be difficult to remove debris after it has
hardened. Avoid banging or hitting the screen to
remove stubborn debris.
5.
Inspect screen and cover gasket for damage. If either is
damaged, replace. Always ensure there is a spare gasket
and screen on hand prior to maintenance.
6.
Remove any debris or sludge from within the strainer.
7.
Replace cleaned or new screen into its original position,
ensuring it is squarely positioned on the screen.
8.
Replace cover gasket and cap or cover. Tighten cap or
cover to specified torque rating.
Follow the Start-up procedure outlined within the Operation
Instructions.
Start-Up Procedure
1.
To remove all fluid from the strainer belly, a drip-leg can
be installed or the piping can be placed at a 1/4” slope.
Note: With piping systems that contain fluids other
than water or when the working temperature is above
120°F, fluid must be drained to safe area, away from
the operator. Operators should always be fitted with
appropriate equipment (goggles, gloves, vests etc.)
when venting or servicing is performed.
2.
Start the piping system by opening the outlet valve
nearest the WYE strainer’s outlet first. Then gradually
open the inlet valve nearest the WYE strainers’ inlet,
approximately 25% of normal operational flow. It
is important to start the system gradually to avoid
displacing or damaging the WYE strainer.
3.
Continue to open the inlet valve until the desired
service flow has been reached.
The correct size of Basket Strainer is determined by its job
function, not by the size of the pipeline.
Pre Installation Checklist:
1.
Inspect the basket strainer’s flange ends and the
pipeline’s mating flanges to ensure gasket surfaces are
free of defects. The pipeline should also be checked for
proper alignment. Strainers should never be utilized to
realign an existing piping system.
2.
Ensure that the pipeline’s mating flanges are the same
type as the basket strainer being installed. Raised face
flange ends cannot be mated to flat face flange ends.
3.
Ensure that the pipeline setup allows a horizontal
installation of the basket strainer.
4.
If pipeline strain is a concern when installing larger
basket strainers (6” and above), a concrete or steel pad
should be used to provide additional support. Larger
basket strainers can also be fitted with legs to assist in
reducing strain on the pipeline.
5.
If the basket strainer is to be located on the discharge
side of a pump, then a safety release valve must be
installed between the basket strainer and the pump.
Installation Procedure:
1.
To provide for easier maintenance, the basket strainer
should be located where the drain plug can be removed
and where there is ample space above the basket
strainer for screen removal.
2.
Before placing the basket strainer into place, support
the existing pipeline with pipe supports near the inlet
and outlet connections of the basket strainer.
3.
Place the basket strainer into the pipeline ensuring
that the flow arrow on the body of the basket strainer
is pointing in the direction of the pipeline flow. For
large or heavy strainers, lift the basket strainer into
place using slings positioned underneath the inlet and
outlet connections.

Figure 37: Bolting Sequence Pattern
Note: Excessive bolt torque may damage flanges. Please
refer to established flange bolt torques for guidelines.
Operation
Once proper installation has been successfully completed,
start the system gradually, at start up as well as after shut
down. This eliminates sudden shock to the strainer and
other equipment in the line. This is extremely important for
steam service.
Start-Up Procedure
1.
Remove air from the pipeline by opening the vent near
the basket strainer. Note: With piping systems that
contain fluids other than water or when the working
temperature is above 120°F, fluid must be drained to
safe area, away from the operator. Operators should
always be fitted with appropriate equipment (goggles,
gloves, vests etc.) when venting or servicing
is performed.
2.
Start the piping system by opening the outlet valve
nearest the basket strainer’s outlet first. Then gradually
open the inlet valve nearest the basket strainer’s
inlet, approximately 25% of normal operational flow.
It is important to start the system gradually to avoid
displacing or damaging the basket strainer.
3.
Continue to open the inlet valve until the desired service
flow has been reached.

4.
Install a standard ANSI (1/8” thick) flange gasket
between the basket strainer and pipeline flanges, on
both sides. Install lubricated flange bolts and hand
tighten. Flange bolts should then be tightened, using
a star or crisscross pattern to evenly load the bolts, in
accordance with established piping standards. This is
illustrated in Figure 37.
Start the piping system by opening the outlet valve nearest
the basket strainer’s outlet first. Then gradually open the
inlet valve nearest the basket strainer’s inlet, approximately
25% of normal operational flow. It is important to start the
system gradually to avoid displacing or damaging the basket
strainer. Continue to open the inlet valve until the desired
service flow has been reached.
Basket strainers require little monitoring once they are
properly installed. The pressure differential across the
strainer should be checked periodically to determine if the
screen needs to be cleaned or replaced. If the pressure
differential goes unchecked and the screen becomes
completely clogged, the screen will break and require
replacing. Note: Strainer screens are not designed to
withstand the same pressure ratings as the housings.
If the basket becomes completely clogged, it will be
exposed to the same pressure as the housing. In most
cases, this will cause the basket to fail and potentially
damage downstream equipment.
Regular maintenance involves:
•
Periodically checking for leaks
•
Timely cleaning or replacement of screen
During normal use, the basket will become clogged
with foreign matter, causing the differential pressure to
increase. Once the differential pressure has increased to
an unacceptable value, typically by 5 psi to 10 psi, it is time
to clean or replace the screen. It is not advisable to let the
differential pressure increase by 20 psi. This may cause the
screen to fail and possibly damage downstream equipment.
A convenient and safe way to determine when the screen
needs to be replaced is to install pressure gauges on
the inlet and outlet sides of the strainer. The maximum
acceptable pressure drop across the strainer will indicate
when the screen needs to be replaced. Screen size and
construction determine the maximum pressure drop that
a strainer screen can withstand. Please consult factory for
exact pressure ratings.
Strainer Element Cleaning
Before removing the cover of the basket strainer, the
pressure inside the vessel must be reduced to atmospheric
via suction or venting. Failure to do so may result in serious
bodily injury.
1.
Isolate the basket strainer by closing the inlet and outlet
valve connections on either side of the basket strainer.
2.
Open vent or drain plug to relieve pressure inside the
basket strainer. Drain fluid up to screen seat level.
3.
Once pressure is relieved, remove the cover.
4.
Remove baskets and clean. Avoid banging or hitting the
screen to remove stubborn debris.
5.
Inspect basket and cover gasket for damage. If either is
damaged, replace. Always ensure there is a spare gasket
and basket on hand prior to maintenance.
6.
Remove any debris or sludge from within the basket
strainer.
7.
Replace clean basket into its original position, enrusing
it is squarely positioned on the screen seat.
8.
Replace cover gasket and replace and tighten cover.
Follow the Start-up precedure outlines within the Operation
Instructions.

Cable Shields
Do not ground the shield to earth ground or to the control
module’s power ground. The PROT485 and the individual
control modules allow the shield to float a limited amount
so that there are no ground loops. If the voltage on the
shield becomes too great relative to the earth ground, then
the excess voltage is bled off with protective devices on the
PROT485 or on the control modules.
Noise Avoidance
Avoid running communication wires or sensor input wires
next to AC power wires or the control module’s relay output
wires. These can be a source of noise that can affect signal
quality. Common sources of noise are:
Spark ignitors
Radio transmitters
Variable speed drives
Electric motors (> 1hp)
Generators
Relays
Transformers
If noise is a problem and you cannot move the wiring,
use ferrite clamp-on chokes on the cabling to improve
signal quality.
Induction heaters
Large contactors (ex.motor starters)
Video display devices
Lamp dimmers
Fluorescent lights
Parallel runs with power lines
Other electronic modules
