Synthetic refrigerants contribute to increased global warming. R410A allows units to operate with extremely low
global warming potential (GWP) and total equivalent warming potential (TEWI) values. This is possible due to
its thermodynamic properties; it is a mono-component refrigerant with an intrinsic high efficiency due to the
absence of glide and energy losses during the evaporating and condensing phases.
Environmental impact parameters : Parameters have been established to determine the environmental
impact of different kinds of refrigerant:
• O.D.P. (Ozone Depletion Potential) can register a value between 0 and 1 (CFC-R12 = 1).
• G.W.P. (Global Warming Potential) is the relationship between the overall warming caused by a particular
substance and the one caused by CO2 carbon dioxide.
• T.E.W.I. (Total Equivalent Warming Impact) is the parameter relating to the emission of refrigerant during
the unit life-cycle and the indirect emissions of CO2 for energy production.
It is important to consider not only the direct (due to the chemical-physical properties) environmental impact of
the refrigerant but the indirect impact as well (i.e., its effect on cooling machinery throughout the operative life).
For package chillers, the contribution to the greenhouse effect is mainly (approximately 90%, if not more)
connected to the energy consumption of the unit (i.e., the indirect amount of CO2 produced by power plants to
supply the energy for the unit). This indirect effect makes it essential to consider the energy consumption of a
unit and its ability to guarantee and maintain high energy efficiency during the entire product life-cycle.
T.E.W.I. : The T.E.W.I. index considers both the direct impact a substance has on the greenhouse effect and its
indirect contribution in terms of CO2 equivalent.
The unit can be fitted with traditional expansion thermostatic valve or, as an option in the configuration,
electronic expansion valve (EEV).
The EEV valve offers important advantages both for air conditioning units and water cooled chillers which are to
be used for process applications and refrigeration systems.
An electronic expansion valve consists of two main parts: the valve itself and the step by step motor. The motor
is situated in the upper part of the valve and is connected directly to the body of the valve. The body of the
valve, including the valve and the motor, is hermetic and welded in order to eliminate the risk of refrigerant
leaks. As is the case for the compressors, the valve motor is in contact with the refrigerant, the materials for
both devices are also substantially the same.
Operating system : Two things are essentially necessary for the operation of the EEV: an external driver and
an algorithm that establishes the operation of the valve itself.
• Step-by-step motor
The electronic expansion valve is equipped with a bipolar, 2-phase motor that has the operating
characteristics typical of any step-by-step motor. It is kept in position until the pulses of current from
the driver command it to rotate in one of the two directions. Each impulse commands the rotation of
the rotor for one step, and it is rotated for a set degree, while a series of pulses produce continuous
rotation of the rotor. The number of steps or levels is extremely high in order to offer a wide and
refined regulation field. A mechanical device transforms the rotation movement of the shaft to a linear
movement that enables the running of the regulation element of the valve.
• The valve
The valve is designed to control the flow of refrigerant that has linear characteristics in such a way as
to allow a wide range of variation in capacity with a linear relationship between the flow and the
position of the valve itself. The refrigerant inlet and outlet and the regulation element are made of
materials that ensure operating precision over the years as well as an extended operating life.
• Electronic expansion valve operation
Ordinary thermostatic expansion valves are self-activating. This means that they are activated by the
pressure under which they are subjected to with the help of an internal retaining spring. Electronic
expansion valves are not self-activating and the step-by step-motor requires external elements and
functions in order to be able to carry out its own action.
The electronic expansion valve modulates the mass flow of refrigerant into the evaporator according to the
sensor signals, the control algorithm and the drivers. The characteristics of the electronic expansion valve
enable the integration of additional functions in the refrigerant cycle, like the interception of the refrigerant, the
regulation of the suction pressure and the control of the refrigerant load.
The drivers, as it has already been said, are devices which control the opening of the electronic expansion
valves according to the superheating required. Therefore, as long as the compressor is not activated, there is
no passage of refrigerant through the valve. When there is a request for cooling, and the compressor is
activated, the drivers are informed of the action which is taking place and this can happen in two ways: by
means of a digital input (stand alone) or by means of a signal from the microprocessor which manages the
system (configurable system).
When the information reaches the driver, it starts to control the mass flow of refrigerant, positioning the
electronic expansion valve in the operating conditions required according to the operation of the system.
The Aquaflair control system is connected to the driver of the expansion valve which in addition to standard
functions, allows the acquisition of operating and alarm signals in order to ensure complete control of the
refrigerant circuit.
Compressors
All the units are fitted with 2 (models 1221A and 1421A) or 4 hermetic SCROLL compressors, which have a
high level of energy efficiency and low noise levels, with built-in thermal protection.
Tandem system: TRAC/H/F models with suffix **21 feature two compressors, connected in parallel in one
cooling circuit. The unit can then count on two partial cooling steps at any time, guaranteeing a modular cooling
capacity.
The exchangers have been sized for the power of both compressors. This means that when only one of the
compressors is operating, the thermal difference of the heat exchangers lowers (the evaporating temperature
increases and the cooling cycle dew point decreases), guaranteeing excellent efficiency during partial load
operation.

The brazed plate type evaporator / condenser is made entirely of stainless steel, with direct-expansion and
counter-current flows. The heat exchange surface is configured so as to maximize the exchange coefficient
with minimal load losses. Input and output connections are fitted with air bleeder and draining valves. The
covering in closed-cell neoprene sponge prevents the formation of condensation and reduces thermal wastage.
The units are provided with air side exchange coils which condenser function (TRAC and TRAF) or condenser/
evaporator function (TRAH) and additional free-cooling coils (TRAF).
The heat exchangers are oversized to operate up to high ambient temperatures conditions. They are equipped
with aluminum fins and mechanically expanded copper tubing in order to obtain optimum metallic contact for
maximum exchange efficiency.
Specific protection treatments for aggressive installations are available on request. Performance may be
different from standard units.
Fans
TRAC/F/H units are equipped with new generation axial fans made from a composite material: aluminum and
reinforced plastic material.
This arrangement increases the efficiency, the reliability level and the sustainability of the unit and allows a
reduction in the overall noise impact
• Efficiency: These fans allow better heat dissipation compared to fans made only from polyurethane.
• Reliability: composite materials have an improved resistance compared to fans made only from
polyurethane and a reduction in weight compared to those made completely from metal.
• Acoustic impact: Acoustic impact and efficiency are closely linked to the “cleaning” of the air flow through
the fans. The use of fans made from plastic allows forms, and consequently performance, to be
achieved which are not possible with aluminum fans, resulting in an improved air flow.
• Sustainability: The use of a critical raw material such as aluminum is limited to only the internal section of
these fans.
Motors are available both in AC and EC version, which features better efficiency and wider operating range
(see dedicated section).
Standard fans : TRAC/F/H units are equipped with new generation axial fans made from a composite material:
aluminum and reinforced plastic material. This solution creates significant advantages in terms of efficiency,
reliability and acoustic impact.
• Efficiency: These fans feature a core made from aluminum and blades made of plastic. This improves
the heat dissipation compared to fans made only from polyurethane. The currents are lower than
traditional arrangements thanks to the weight reduction which leads to lower inertia.
• Reliability: As fans are coupled with a motor by means of a metallic cross section, resistance is improved
compared to fans made only from polyurethane and weight is reduced compared to metal fans.
• Acoustic impact: Acoustic impact and efficiency are closely depend on the “cleaning” of the air flow
through the fans. The use of fans made from plastic allows the blade shapes which optimize the
performance. These solution cannot normally be achieved with aluminum fans. The resulting improved
air flow improves the noise performance.
• Sustainability – reduced use of resources: The use of a critical raw material such as aluminium is limited
to the internal section of fans
The electrical box is placed on an appropriate board and conforms to EC standards (2006/95/EC and EMC
2004/108/EC directives). The following are the main features of the electrical panel:
• IP54 protection grade
• Lockable general cut-off switch
• Electric bars distribution
• Phase sequence control and phase presence monitoring, minimum/maximum voltage protection and
correct phase balancing
• Maximum internal temperature control
• Anti-condensation resistance (for low ambient temperature option, and free-cooling and heat pumps
models)
• Magneto-thermal protection switches with trip alarm signal on compressors
• Fuses for fan speed control protection
• Magneto-thermal protection switches for EC fans
• 230V power supply for external motorized isolating valve (8Amps max)
• Remote control switches for the compressors
• Auxiliary transformer at 24V and 230V
• Motor protector for the pump(s) and the free-cooling pump (if present)

• Separate power supply
Another optional configuration is available with a separate power supply for control and auxiliaries.
With the aim of guaranteeing a quick restart time, it is possible to configure the unit with a separate
power supply from an external universal power supply (UPS) for the control, the compressor boards,
and the protection devices. This option guarantees full load capacity in emergency mode in 2
minutes.
NOTE: The UPS is not provided on-board the unit. A separate quotation may be possible.
It is possible to configure the unit with separate power supply for control and auxiliaries together with
double (redundant) power supply.
Designing a reliable system means choosing both a unit that is intrinsically reliable, and, therefore, designed
and built in such way as to guarantee an extremely low breakdown and inefficiency percentage, as well as
creating suitable reserves. The system is equipped with one or more additional units, and for this reason, the
Uptime Institute introduced the Tier classification based on “N+1” or “N+N” redundancy where each Tier level
provides an availability value for the data center (i.e., Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV). Some of the basic rules
are the redundancy with N+N philosophy, the connection for all the units to a BMS, and the installation of an
uninterrupted power supply system.
Tier Levels
Tier I Tier II Tier III Tier IV
Number of delivery paths 1 1 1 active, 1 passive 2 active
Redundancy N N+1 N+1 2(N+1)
Compartmentalization No No No Yes
Concurrently maintainable No No Yes Yes
Fault tolerance to worst event None None None Yes
Last generation data centers are designed with Tier III or IV levels, both of these solutions require a secondary
power supply line. The possibility to connect the unit to a secondary power supply introduces important benefits
for the reliability of the entire system, guaranteeing advantages on controls, restarting procedures, and the
operational reliability of the units.
For example, in case of power failure, the restart time should consider also the reboot of the microprocessor
and the compressor main board. In order to avoid this timing, it is available as an option to have a power supply
dedicated to the microprocessor from the UPS. Another point is that the electrical heaters installed on a chiller
are a fundamental detail for continuous operation:
• If the anti-condensation heater in the electrical board is not energized, the electrical components are not
maintained within their operational limits.
• If the antifreeze heaters are not energized and the chiller is not fitted with a correct antifreeze mixture,
the water circuit could be damaged.
Installing secondary lines on data centers is a standard practice and TRAC/F/H chillers are designed to offer a
a complete range of solutions to integrate the unit into the system.
In the tables below, the different solutions for power supply redundancy are explained. The bold-outlined row
represents the suggested solution. All these solutions are fitted on-board the units and are completely tested in
the Schneider-Electric production facilities.

Restarting procedures
Aquaflair TRAC/H/F water chillers are fitted with UPGD5 microprocessor control systems which automatically
regulate the unit operation and control.
There is a pre-determined start-up procedure when the initial power is supplied to the unit. The start-up
procedure also contains a number of variable parameters that can be adjusted to suit site conditions,
dependent on the load conditions.
Hardware initialization
When the control board is powered on, the CPU is reset and begins executing a set of instructions stored in
read-only memory (ROM) on the system board.
Software initialization
Power On Delay
This is a programmable delay to defer the electrical loads switching on after a power failure, typically when units
are connected to a generator when it is necessary for full load current conditions. The length of delay is
adjustable.
Based on the conditions, the microprocessor control system selects either the “Quick Start” or “Standard”
Load distribution
In order to maximize the efficiency the control system distributes the cooling capacity steps evenly between the
cooling circuits, since the units are each fitted with four scroll compressors, two per cooling circuit, the load is
balanced in 4 steps (except for models 1221A and 1421A)..

*Where more than one units are connected in LAN, an additional delay is introduced. A stand-alone unit leaves the factory with a pre-
set internal LAN address set to “1”. Each subsequent LAN address (“2”, “3”, “4” etc) introduces a further delay. The total delay is 5
seconds x LAN address.
Aquaflair chillers equipped with advanced controls have the (local area network) LAN card integrated on the
mainboard. Up to 10 of these units can be connected together with 1 or 2 units in stand-by in order to manage
the stand-by units and to adapt the logic to the site requirements.
NOTE: If LAN control is selected for stand-by management and/or load management, this cannot be driven by
the BMS, too.
The LAN system manages the unit rotation based on alarm, emergency mode, or working hours and manages
the load according to three logics. Generally, the units are installed in parallel on the hydraulic side, and on the
available operating modes from the control logic point of view are the following:
• Singular
• Interlaced
• Cascade
na4689a
The control system fitted on-board each TRAC/F/H chiller regulates the temperature of the chilled water by
switching the compressors on and off. By doing this, it is possible to change the cooling capacity from the
minimum to 100%; overall, each unit may be controlled by means of partialization steps.
All of the units use an algorithm to control the temperature of the chilled water based on the discharge
temperature of the water. The algorithm uses the inlet water temperature to minimize compressor start-up; in
fact, a P.I.D. algorithm controls the discharge temperature of the water proportionally but also uses an
integrated and derivative process on the inlet water temperature to minimize compressor start-up.a
The control system can be considered an evolution compared to the traditional systems of control that operate
“predictably” on the discharge water temperature. The outlet water temperature value can be taken on-board
the chiller (on the discharge side of the evaporator) or with the optional remote water sensor, along another
point.
Singular logic mode : Singular logic mode permits the unit to operate autonomously without considering the
other units. With this option, the LAN signal permits rotation only in case of failure or time-based rotation.
a Where more than one units are connected in the LAN, an additional delay is introduced. A stand-alone unit
leaves the factory with a pre-set internal LAN address set to ‘1’. Each subsequent LAN address (‘2’, ‘3’, etc.)
introduces a further delay. The total delay is 5 seconds x LAN address.

TRAF units are fitted with integrated free-cooling system. On these units, if the external temperature is low
enough, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate, depending on the external temperature, the “refrigerant” part
of the chiller (i.e., the compressors).
When the external air temperature is low enough, the microprocessor control system activates the free-cooling
mode: water is circulated by the free-cooling pump inside heat exchange coils and cooled by external air forced
in by the fans, which, together with the pump are the only components that absorb energy.

According to the external temperature and the required thermal load, the unit operates in the following mode:
• Mechanical cooling: With temperatures higher than the inlet water temperature, a free-cooling unit
operates as a traditional chiller, dissipating the thermal load of the evaporator with the compressors (fans
and compressors operating).
• Mixed mode: When the external temperature is lower than the inlet water temperature, the air
guarantees partial, rather than complete, dissipation of the thermal load. The control system activates
the free-cooling pump and the water is routed to the air/water exchangers that are placed in series in the

Designing a reliable system means both choosing units that are intrinsically reliable and to include suitable
reserves. An intrinsically reliable unit is designed and built to guarantee an extremely low breakdown and
inefficiency percentage. Designing with suitable reserves means to equip the system with one or more
additional units, and for this reason, design is typically based on “n+1” or “n+n” logics. This approach ensures
that there is a unit in “stand-by” to assure emergency rotation when, for any reason, a failure happens .
By combining the above concepts in applications where uninterrupted operation is required, units equipped with
a free-cooling device featuring redundancy logic can be installed, and part of the available cooling capacity is in
stand-by. The same consideration can be made regarding the available free-cooling capacity. The principle that
forms the basis of intelligent free-cooling is when external temperatures allow free-cooling, the air/water
exchangers of the units in stand-by are exploited as well.
As described in the picture below, by linking all of the air/water exchangers together (indicated with red dotted
lines in the example below), it is possible for the water that is to be cooled to flow through all of the free-cooling
coils available.
Due to the fact that in Aquaflair free-cooling units the water is sent to the free-cooling coils by a pump and not
by a simple three-way valve, it is possible to also use the exchangers of the units in stand-by and so increase
the free-cooling capacity available.

NOTE: As a general configuration rule, the number of stand-by units must be equal or lower than the number of
working units, i.e. 1+1, 2+1, 3+2, while 1+2 or others are not possible. According to the energy saving levels
allowed by intelligent free-cooling, the most suitable configurations are 1+1 and 2+1, while arrangements with
more working units, such as 3+1, would have a longer payback period. The general saving depends on the
specific climatic profiles and working conditions; therefore, it is important to check the effective saving for each
project with the calculation software

Recommended Limitations
The operating conditions of chillers are strictly related to the compressor limits with the operating conditions
guaranteed by the heat exchangers. In order to guarantee continuous operation, the chiller control board forces
the reduction of the condensing pressure in extreme external conditions by means of a reduction in cooling
capacity (unloading procedure). This must be considered during the design phase by means of the load
distribution between the chillers on site.
Usually the redundancy level requires one or more units in stand-by. With this solution, all the cooling resources
are working at part-load conditions with important advantages if compared to a traditional logic.
Chillers designed to provide chilled water temperatures lower than 3°C must be filled with antifreeze mixtures
suitable to operate at the design water temperatures (see “Nominal conditions and correction factors” on
page 38). TRAF units must be filled with antifreeze mixtures suitable to operate at the design ambient
temperatures (see “Nominal conditions and correction factors” on page 38).
TRAF units with glycol-free option need antifreeze mixtures in the free-cooling circuit only (see “Nominal
conditions and correction factors” on page 38).
NOTE: The diagrams in this section refer to the average data at full capacity. Specific limits can slightly be
different for specific model/ configuration. External temperature limits are extended for EC motor fans and for
partial load conditions, please refer to the simulation software for details.

with low ambient temperature operation (see “UNIT WITH ACOUSTIC-COMPOSITE AXIAL FANS WITH EC
MOTOR” on page 35).
Flow limits
Water flow variation influence the operation of the unit. A water flow that is too high generates turbulence in the
heat exchangers with consequent reduction in the heat exchange and very high pressure drop across the
evaporator.
A water flow that is too low could cause laminar flow in the evaporator with consequent reduction in exchange
capacity, freeze-up problems, scaling, stratification, and poor control.
These conditions would reduce the water side pressure drop up to the protection device set limits, generating a
low water flow alarm, which would stop the unit and require a manual reset.
For this reason, the following limits are required on the nominal water flow:
• Minimum water flow: -40% than the nominal water flow
• Maximum water flow: +40% than the nominal water flow
Other specific operations could be possible: please contact Schneider-Electric for further details
The data in this section pertains to the following conditions and tolerances:
NOTE: A general design guideline for data centers, where reducing energy consumption and optimizing
available resources is becoming increasingly more significant, is to adopt solutions featuring chilled water air
conditioning units linked to chillers with a free-cooling system, sized in order to optimize operation. This system
is based on a chilled water temperature, which is higher than the “traditional” 7°C, with the aim of increasing the
free-cooling capacity and lowering the electrical absorption of the chiller. Since optimizing resources is the best
solution to reduce consumption, Schneider-Electric fully supports this trend, promoting and encouraging it and
facilitating the sizing of sites that are designed in this way. For this reason, technical data regarding chillers
equipped with free-cooling are based on inlet/outlet water temperatures of 15/10°C rather than 12/7°C.
TRAC/F/H units are suitable for operation with anti-freezing mixtures, like glycol-water. The on-board pumps
(main and free-cooling) are designed and selected to operate with glycol percentages up to 30%. Higher
percentages can be managed with a dedicated customization (on request). If antifreeze mixtures are being
used, some of the unit specifications given in the table (capacity, water delivery, load loss) will change.

TRAC/H units can be fitted both with partial and total heat recovery while TRAF units are available with partial
free-cooling only. For correct operation of the chiller, it is necessary to avoid supplying the recovery exchanger
with water that is too cold (temperatures lower than 30°C). For this reason, it is necessary to install a 3-way
valve on the heat recovery pipeworks.

PUMP
The TRAC/H/F units range can be fitted with on-board primary circulation pumps. When the pressure drop and
the water flow do not remain constant, either during the chiller operation or during the evolution of the
installation, it is possible to install completely integrated inverter-driven circulation pumps.
This solution allows the water flow rate to be modified by varying the pump rotation speed. If this option is
selected, the unit is equipped with one or two pumps with 1+1 logic that are connected to a VSD (inverter)
driven by the chiller control board and with two pressure transducers on the chiller water circuit (IN/OUT),
completely connected to the main power supply and driven by the unit main board. In the event of units fitted
with two pumps, the inverter is usually shared between the pumps.
NOTE: In the event of any failure of the inverter when 2 pumps are installed, this is automatically bypassed and
the pumps are connected directly to the power supply. Therefore, the pump operates at full speed (50 Hz) and
an alarm is communicated by the control board without any consequence to the general reliability. When the
unit is fitted with a single pump, a failure in the inverter is equivalent to a failure in the pump and the unit is
stopped.
The inverter is controlled by the main board and the water flow can be modified according to two different
logics:
• Flexible operation
Flexible operation consists of water flow setting and the unit operating with constant water flow. With
the logic (a), the control board sets a value for the inverter speed and for the water flow. The unit
operates with this water flow value until it is not modified. Modifications can be done directly on the
local user terminal, on the remote user terminal of the unit, or from the Building Management System.
This solution is necessary when the pressure drop of the system is not completely known or an
extension is scheduled, expected, or simply possible. Once the chiller is installed, the pressure drop/
water flow is set on the control board according the site features and the required deltaT of the inlet/
water temperatures.
In the event of any modifications on the site, the operating parameters can be changed in order to
adjust the correct operation of the unit.
• Autoadaptive operation
Autoadaptive operation consists of the unit operating with variable water flow and constant available
head pressure. Once the chiller is installed, the required available pressure can be set on the unit.
The information from the pressure transducers permits the control board to maintain this setting in all
the different pressure drop conditions (between a min/max range).
This solution is useful when the pressure drop of the system can vary during chiller operation, like
installations where the CRACs are fitted with 2-way valves or when there are separate water circuits.
The settings for the required available head pressure can be done directly on the local user terminal,
on the remote user terminal of the unit, or from the Building Management System
Both logics can be set directly on site, with a simple modification of the control settings.
NOTE: VSD pumps can operate between 30 to 50 Hz, providing a minimum head pressure in any case. A by-
pass or balancing valve/arrangement must be provided in any case to avoid flow alarm.
Altitude
Units are able to operate at different altitudes, please check with the selection software the operating
conditions and their relation with the ambient temperature limits
Sound power level for each octave band frequency supplied in compliance with standard ISO3744-ISO3746.
The tolerance on the data is equivalent to Eurovent admitted tolerances.
NOTE: Data measured in free field at 10 meters from the unit operating without pumps at nominal conditions
with fans at nominal conditions, coil side, Q=2 directional factor. At different conditions, with different
configurations and/or with EC fans, noise values may vary.
Noise levels may change according to the final configuration and the operating conditions. The sound levels by
octave band are guideline values only and not contractually binding.
Basic version
This refers to the basic version with acousti-composite fans with asynchronous motor fans or with electronic-
commutated (EC) motor fans. The unit is fitted with enclosures for compressor protection and with modulating
condensation control for fans that can operate up to full speed.
NOTE: EC motor fans guarantee improvements in energy efficiency and higher operating ambient
temperatures than standard motor fans. At full fan speed, the noise impact is higher than at nominal conditions
(see table below).

Ultra-quiet version
Ultra-quiet version unit with acousti-composite fans with asynchronous motor fans or with electronic
commutated (EC) motor fans. The unit is fitted with soundproofed protective enclosures for compressors and a
modulating condensation control algorithm for fans based on noise reduction.
NOTE: Low fan speed for noise reduction is guaranteed at nominal conditions only: the unit control board
forces full fan speed in critical external temperatures only with consequent noise level increase (see table
below).
NOTE: EC motor fans guarantee improvements in energy efficiency and higher operating ambient
temperatures than standard motor fans. At full fan speed, the noise impact is higher than at nominal conditions
(see table below).

Electrical Data
• Power supply
– The power supply for all units is 400V/3ph/50Hz. Versions with different power supplies can be
provided on request.
– The separate power supply (if present) is 230V/1ph/50Hz. This optional version is based on a
separate power connection for the following devices:
• Unit control board
• Anti-condensation heater (only with low ambient temperature option)
• Antifreeze heaters for evaporator and pumps (optional, based on the configuration)
• Compressors
– FLI (Full Load Input Power): The maximum absorbed power of the unit [kW].
– FLA (Full Load Amperage): The maximum absorbed current [A].
– LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage): The value that usually indicates the current in locked rotor
conditions.
• Pump
– FLA (Full Load Amperage): The maximum absorbed current [A].
– LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage): The starting current [A]. The control board manages the pump
switching-on before unit start-up and, therefore, the LRA for the pump does not increase the starting
current of the unit.
NOTE: For VSD pumps, the values refer to full-speed pumps.
• Chiller unit
– FLI (Full Load Input Power): The maximum absorbed power of the unit [kW].
– FLA (Full Load Amperage): The absorbed current at maximum operating parameters over an
extended period of time: i.e., compressors max absorbed current + fans absorbed current + pump
absorbed current (if present). This is the maximum steady current value actually necessary to size
cabling, safety devices, etc.
– LRA (Locked Rotor Amperage): The maximum current peak: i.e., compressor nr 1 starting current +
the other compressors maximum absorbed current + the fans absorbed current (and operating
current for pump, if fitted). This is necessary for the delay in external safety devices and in the genset
sizing (if fitted).
– COSφ: The cosine of the φ angle of displacement between the current and the voltage in an
electrical system with alternate current.
• NOTE: COSφ

The following diagrams show the minimum recommended distances to be left for clearance around the unit for
correct operation and service access.
IMPORTANT: Prevent air recirculation between the air discharged and the suction in the condenser. When
multiple chillers are installed close together in the same area, it is important to evaluate the airflow through the
unit and the air recirculation that may occur. It could be necessary to install chimneys on the top of the unit in
some situations.

The pipework connections are made from steel, and the free-cooling circuit is made from steel with flexible
connections between the coils and the free-cooling manifold. This is to eliminate vibrations along the water
circuit and to guarantee flexibility to the unit structure during liftings and movements.The units are supplied with
Victaulic-type hydraulic connections.
Pipework of this type is composed of two parts: the pipework is predisposed for a Victaulic clamp and the
Victaulic clamp itself.

When a chiller is designed to usually operate with low ambient temperatures, it is necessary to select the
specific version and configuration.
• Free-cooling units or “low ambient temperature” option is required.
• Antifreeze mixtures are mandatory for free-cooling chillers, while free-cooling chillers with glycol-free
option, chillers and heat pumps may be used with pure water if they are configured with antifreeze
heaters.
• The screen for the local user terminal on-board the unit is a LCD terminal and, therefore, when external
temperatures are quite low the visualization may be temporary not possible. This situation does not
damage the terminal, but it limits maintenance operations. A good practice is usually to install a remote
user terminal, internally installed for chillers installed in low ambient temperatures areas.
• A remote user terminal is suggested to monitor the unit when ambient conditions are not suitable for a
direct visit in front of the unit.
High ambient temperature operation
Although units are designed for high ambient temperature operation, continuous operation close to the high
ambient temperatures limits stresses the unit and therefore some strategies should be adopted on site.
• Continuous power supply allows electrical board ventilation and therefore improve the overall unit
reliability.
• Chiller orientation and position should be evaluated to reduce stress for electrical components.
• A remote user terminal is suggested to monitor the unit when ambient conditions are not suitable for a
direct visit in front of the unit.
Location Requirements
Sound considerations
• Refer to <link> for sound ratings.
• Locate the unit away from sound-sensitive areas.
• Install the optional elastomeric isolators under the unit.
• Chilled water piping should not be supported by chiller frame.
• Install rubber vibration isolators in all water piping.
• Seal all wall penetrations.
NOTE: Consult an acoustical engineer for critical applications.
Foundation
Provide rigid, non-warping mounting pads or a concrete foundation of sufficient strength and mass to support
the applicable operating weight (i.e., including completed piping, and full operating charges of refrigerant, oil
and water).
Provide enough space around the unit to allow the installation and maintenance personnel unrestricted access
to all service points. Refer to submittal drawings for the unit dimensions, to provide sufficient clearance for the
opening of control panel doors and unit service (see “Service access” on page 70 for minimum clearances).
In all cases, local codes which require additional clearances will take precedence over these recommendations.
When the unit is placed in an enclosure or small depression, the top of the surrounding walls should be no
higher than the top of the fans. The chiller should be completely open above the fan deck. There should be no
roof or structure covering the top of the chiller.
Pump selection
When a chilled water cooling plant is designed one of the most critical item is the evaluation and the calculation
of the hydraulic features. This means to evaluate, by the mechanical consultant, which are the pressure drop of
the system according to the operating conditions, the water temperatures, the glycol percentage, the hydraulic
devices, the pipeworks sizes, the final layout... and to combine this value with the head pressure generated by
the pump at this conditions.
A not correct match between pumps and pressure drop creates unbalance head pressure and this changes the
water flow which has a direct influence in performance, reliability, operation and availability of the units, Chillers
and CRAC units or InRow units, too
The following are the main consequences caused by an incorrect hydraulic balancing:
• performance: a different flow from the design influence the water velocity and the deltaT between inlet
and outlet water chiller side. Speed influences the capability to exchange the thermal load into the chiller.
DeltaT influences the operative conditions for compressors
• reliability: a too high water flow increases the amperage of the pump motor, which can generate a pump
protection intervention with a consequent critical alarm on the unit. A too low water flow can cause a flow
alarm. Both the alarms force the stop the unit
• operation: a too high water flow influence the precision in the chiller water temperature, which a
consequent incorrect or not optimized operation of chillers and CRACs or InRows
• availability, high speed in water flow could damage the evaporator if any debris are in the water circuit.
For these reasons a correct selection for pumps is mandatory in order to guarantee a good site operation.
The chillers and air-conditioners manufacturers, as devices providers, haven't the complete overview, and
responsibility, of the plant.
The consultant, based on all the necessary information provided by the components manufacturers, have to
check the correct matching between the unit and the system. Then the consultant should check these values
and verify the matching with the system.
Unfortunately a correct calculation of the pressure drop of the system is quite complicated and for this reason it
should be carried-out by who has the responsibility of the design.
In order to help the correct matching between the pumps and the plant the following procedure can be
suggested. Of course the final decision and responsibility is owned by the consultant
evaluate the circuit pressure drop at different configurations and working conditions
check that the circuit pressure drop match with the available head pressure reported in the chiller datasheet
(*) The final evaluation for “high” and “low” values are under the consultant responsibility. Typical values for
“low” available head pressure is 50kPa, while “high” usually means 150kPa. Of course these values are
indicative only and they depends on the final layout of the circuit.
NOTE: With “available head pressure” at a certain water flow, it is usually indicated as the head pressure of the
pumps without the internal pressure drop of the chiller: i.e.,
Havailable = H pump - pressure dropchiller

The following recommendations are not a reference design but good practices for installations and site designs
Protection and operation devices to be installed externally to the units: In order to protect and to allow ordinary
/ not-ordinary maintenance, chillers should be installed with following main devices:
• Water filter / strainers: To prevent residue and metallic burrs from seriously damaging the refrigerator,
install a metallic water filter with 1 to 2 mm mesh in the refrigerator inlet pipe. The filter is usually
provided by main contractor
• Shut-off valves: It must be possible to isolate the IN/OUT water connections of the unit. For this reason
manual shout-off valves must be installed on external pipeworks
• Elastic coupling / compensators: In order to prevent vibration propagation, elastic compensators are
usually installed in order to decouple the unit and the general pipeworks
• Pipeworks supports: It is necessary to sustain any connections to and from the unit
• Automatic air valve (air bleed): they must be installed in the external circuit
• Water drainage system: must be installed externally to remove water if necessary
• Balancing valve: it is necessary to be installed to balance the water pressures into the circuit
• Refilling system: the installation of a the refilling system is necessary on the suction side of the unit at
min setting 1,5 bar;
• Safety valves and expansion vessel for units without pumps
• Water gauges on IN/OUTlet pipeworks

In addition to the recommendations above, following notes must be applied on unit equipped with intelligent
free-cooling
• Piping sizing: While external piping connected to the unit can be designed with the same diameter as per
the unit intelligent free-cooling connections, the common manifold must be designed in order to keep the
same water velocity. For example when two units are installed the diameter for the common manifold
can has to be calculated with a factor 1.44x, i.e. the IFC connections x 1.44
• Balancing valve: on the intelligent free-cooling manifolds is necessary to be installed to balance the
water pressures into the circuit
• Shut-off valves: It must be possible to isolate the intelligent free-cooling connections of the unit. For this
reason manual shout-off valves must be installed on external pipeworks
• Elastic compensators: In order to prevent vibration propagation, elastic compensators are usually
installed in order to decouple the unit and the intelligent free-cooling pipeworks
If units are not fitted with hydraulical on-board kit, it is necessary to provide expansion vessel on site since the
main amount of water is related to the plant.
Below is a short guide for sizing the expansion vessel of the plant. The project elements to consider when
selecting the dimensions of the expansion vessel of a system are:
• C: The quantity of water in the system, in liters
• e: The expansion coefficient of the water, calculated as the maximum temperature difference between
when the system is off and when the system is running (the values are given in the table below)
• Pi: The absolute initial pressure, equivalent to the pre-charge pressure of the expansion vessel (normally
2.5 bar, i.e. 1.5 bar-r)
• Pf: The absolute tolerated pressure must be less than the pressure at which the safety valve is set,
taking into account any difference in height between the valve and the expansion vessel.
The total capacity of the expansion vessel is expressed as:
C×e
Vt =
Pi
1-
Pf
It is also possible to calculate the average value of ‘e’ between the initial water temperature (generally assumed
to be 10ºC) and the operating temperature, using the following formula (where the temperature is in ºC):
-6 2
e = 7.5 × 10 × (T - 4)
Adequate chilled water system water volume is an important system design parameter because it provides for
stable chilled water temperature control and helps limit unacceptable short cycling of chiller compressors.
The chiller’s temperature control sensors are located in the inlet and outlet water piping. This location allows
the building to act as a buffer to slow the rate of change of the system water temperature. If there is not a
sufficient volume of water in the system to provide an adequate buffer, temperature control can suffer, resulting
in erratic system operation and excessive compressor cycling.
Typically, a two-minute water loop circulation time is sufficient to prevent short water loop issues.
Therefore, as a guideline, ensure the volume of water in the chilled water loop equals or exceeds two times the
evaporator flow rate. For systems with a rapidly changing load profile the amount of volume should be
increased.
If the installed system volume does not meet the above recommendations, the following items should be given
careful consideration to increase the volume of water in the system and, therefore, reduce the rate of change of
the return water temperature.
• A volume buffer tank located in the outlet water piping.
• Larger system supply and return header piping (which also reduces system pressure drop and pump
energy use).
Minimum water volume for a process application
If a chiller is attached to an on/off load such as a process load, it may be difficult for the controller to respond
quickly enough to the very rapid change in return solution temperature if the system has only the minimum
water volume recommended. Such systems may cause chiller low temperature safety trips or in the extreme
case evaporator freezing. In this case, it may be necessary to add or increase the size of the mixing tank in the
return line
