3.1.3 Product Features
The all-inverter modular air-cooled chillers work outstandingly by virtue of their major
features stated below..
■ Excellent compatibility:
The all-inverter modular air-cooled chillers can be constructed of multiple single units with
the same or different structure or capability (30kW, 60kW, 65kW). For the 35kW unit, it has
only one cooling system; for the 60kW, 65kW units, they are of two independent systems. Up
to 16 single units can be modularized, with cooling capacity ranging from 35kW to 1040kW.
■ Comfort and energy saving:
The variable-frequency technology can quickly respond to load change and lead to
decreased water temperature fluctuation and better comfort.
■ Ultra-quiet:
The high-efficiency and low-noise fan blades and motor as well as the optimized air passage
can greatly lower operation noise of the unit. Besides, the quite mode can provide the user a
ultra-quite environment.
■ Powerful self-protection:

2
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

It is equipped with the top-end microcomputer control system which is capable of providing
well-rounded protection and self-diagnosis.
■ High reliability:
It is constructed of well-designed refrigeration parts and well-designed system, structure
and electric control, adequately guaranteeing reliable operation
■ Remote ON/OFF:
The unit can be started or stopped by the ON/OFF key operation.
■ Equilibrium running:
It indicates each compressor will run alternately so as to extend their service life.
■ Shiftwork of water pumps:
Two water pumps can work alternately with equilibrium runtime so as to extend their service
life and lower the maintenance difficulty.

(3)Unless otherwise stated, the area always indicates the total building area no matter if air
conditioning is for local area or not.
3.6.1.2 Calculation of Indoor Load Demand
Indoor load demand = room area (㎡)× per unit load(W/㎡)
Note: our products that will be selected with cooling loads should fit for the on-site situation.
3.6.1.3 Selection of a Terminal Unit
Select a proper terminal unit in accordance with requirements on load noise and installation
space.
3.6.1.4 Selection of a Main Unit
A main unit should be selected based on its theoretically calculated cooling load.
3.6.1.5 Calculation of Heating Load
Calculate the heating loads of the main unit and terminal unit that have been selected, which
is not expected to be recognized until satisfying the requirements.

3.6.1.6 A case for Selection


Background: there is an office building covering 12,000㎡ totally with 10,500㎡ to be air
conditioned, among which the big meeting rooms take up 500㎡, the small meeting rooms take
up 1,500㎡ and office rooms take up 8,500㎡, and fresh air is required.
(1)Calculate the cooling load
1) By the estimated cooling load:
Big meeting rooms: 500×180(W/㎡)=90000W=90kW
Small meeting rooms: 150×240(W/㎡)=360000W=360kW
Offices: 8600×150(W/㎡)=1290000W=1290kW
Total: 90kW十360kW+1290kW=1740kW
2) By the building area:
12000×98W=1176kW
3) According to the calculation results of 1) and 2), cooling load 1740kW is selected.
(2)Calculate the heating load
By the estimated heating load:
12000×70=840000W=840kW
(3)Select the desired model and quantity
Look up the GREE Technical Guide Manual and it is concluded that 29 SQWRF60VM/
NaA-M meet the design requirement (cooling load: 1740kW,, heating load: 1885kW).

4 Unit Control
4.1 Schematic Diagram

Description:
(1)A water flow cutout is used to judge the water flow rate. When the flow rate is too low, it
will trip off, and the control board will send this signal to the display and the water pump.
Then, the display will tell there is an error, the water pump will stop and the unit will stop or
will not start.
(2)A high/low pressure cutout is used to judge the system pressure. When the system pres-
sure is too high/low, it will trip off, and the control board will send this signal to the display.
Then, the display will tell there is an error and the unit will stop or will not start
(3)An ambient temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the environment
where the unit is which will determine whether to start or stop the fan and determine the
steps of the electrostatic expansion valve when initializing. When this sensor fails, the con-
trol board will detect and send this signal to the display. Then, the display will tell there is
an error and the unit will stop or will not start.
(4)A discharge temperature sensor is used to detect the discharge temperature. When the
sensed temperature is too high or this sensor fails, the control board will detect and send
this signal to the display. Then, the display will tell there is an error and the unit will stop or
will not start.

13
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

(5)An entering water temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the entering
water which will determine whether to start or stop the compressor and the auxiliary elec-
tric heater. When this sensor fails, all compressors of the unit will stop.
(6)Defrost temperature sensor is used to detect the liquid tube temperature of fins serving
the condenser, which will determine whether to start the fan. When the sensed tempera-
ture is too high or this sensor fails, the control board will detect and send this signal to the
display. Then, the display will tell there is an error and the unit will stop or will not start.
(7)An anti-freezing and overheating prevention temperature sensor is used to detect the
water temperature. When it fails, compressors and fans of the corresponding unit will stop.
(8)A leaving water temperature sensor is used to detect the leaving water temperature.
When this sensor fails, compressors and fans of the corresponding unit will stop.
(9)An air temperature sensor on shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to detect the air tem-
perature. When this sensor fails, the compressor in a cooling state will have to be stopped
and the display will tell there is an error. If the sensor fails in a heating state, only the dis-
play will tell an error.
(10)An liquid temperature sensor on shell-and-tube heat exchanger is used to detect the
liquid temperature. When this sensor fails, the compressor in a cooling state will have to
be stopped and the display will tell there is an error. If the sensor fails in a heating state,
only the display will tell an error.
(11)A suction temperature sensor is used to detect the suction temperature. When this sen-
sor fails, the compressor in a cooling state will have to be stopped and the display will tell
there is an error. If the sensor fails in a heating state, only the display will tell an error.
(12)High-pressure sensor is used to detect the discharge pressure. When the sensed tem-
perature is too high, control the compressor to regulate the frequency of discharge.

4.3 Key Control Logics


4.3.1 Cooling Control
4.3.1.1 Freeze-up Protection
For each single unit, when the anti-freezing temperature or the leaving water temperature is
lower than the limit value, freeze protection will work; when the anti-freezing temperature and
the leaving water temperature go higher than the normal value, freeze protection will quit.
when the anti-freezing temperature and the leaving water temperature are between the limit
value and the normal value, the unit will keep the current operation status.
4.3.1.2 Shutdown
Manual and timely shutdown: compressors, fans and then water pumps will stop.
Shutdown at the set temperature: compressors and fans will stop but water pumps will still
be working.
Shutdown due to malfunction: compressors and fans will stop but water pumps will still be
working.
4.3.2 Heating Control
4.3.2.1 Over-temperature Protection for Heating
For each single unit, when either anti-over-temperature value or the leaving water
temperature goes higher than the targeted value, over—temperature protection will work and
the operation frequency of the compressors will be lowered until the anti-over-temperature
value or the leaving water temperature is lower than the targeted level. Stop compressors one
by one, if the operation frequency has been recorded the lowest and either the anti-over-
temperature value or the leaving temperature remains above the targeted level for 1 minute.
With the anti-over-temperature value or the leaving water temperature below the normal
level, overheating protection will quit. If it occurs with a reduced frequency, the compressor
should be controlled by the water temperatures for working as normal.
4.3.2.2 Control to the Auxiliary Electric Heater
When the control function of the auxiliary electric heater has been activated through the
control panel, the unit is able control the auxiliary electric heater.
The auxiliary electric heater is able to work automatically as long as there is no fault of the
flow switch and all entering and leaving water temperature sensors work normally.
When the control function of the auxiliary electric heater has been activated through the
control panel, the auxiliary electric heater will not work any more.
When all entering and leaving water temperature sensors are faulty, the auxiliary electric
heater will stop working.
When any flow switch fails, the auxiliary electric heater will stop working.
When over-temperature protection for heating works but the auxiliary electric heater is still
required for operation, it will work continuously when its heating task is finished.

17
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

4.3.2.3 Shutdown
Manual or timing shutdown: compressor stops firstly, and the auxiliary electric heater
second, and then the fan and water pump.
Shutdown upon the temperature set point: the compressor and the fan stop firstly, while the
water pump keeps running.
Shutdown upon errors: the compressor stops firstly and the fan, while the water pump keeps
running.
4.3.3 Automatic Anti-freezing Operation
For each single unit, when the anti-freezing temperature or the leaving water temperature is
lower than the limit value, freeze protection will work; when the anti-freezing temperature and
the leaving water temperature go higher than the normal value, freeze protection will quit.
when the anti-freezing temperature and the leaving water temperature are between the limit
value and the normal value, the unit will keep the current operation status.
4.3.4 Control to the Compressor
1)“First On, First Off”
“First On, First Off”/ “First Off, First On” control indicates the numbered compressor which is
started/stopped firstly will then be stopped/started firstly.
4.3.5 Control to the Fan
The fan will start when the unit is turned on and will stop when the compressor is turned off.
During defrosting, the fan does now work but will back to working when defrosting exists.
4.3.6 Control to the 4–way Valve
At the cooling mode, the 4–way valve will not work when the unit goes for defrosting or the
unit is OFF. At the heating mode, the 4–way valve will work when the unit is turned on or
defrosting quits.
4.3.7 Control to the Water Pump
When there is demand for any single unit, the water pump will start. When there is no
demand for all water pumps, the water pump will stop.
4.3.8 Control to the Electronic Expansion Valve
The electronic expansion valve will be initialized when the controller is powered on for the
first time.
After the compressor has been started, the electronic expansion valve starts to adjust its
opening angle
4.3.9 Protection
4.3.9.1 Recoverable Protection
(1)Fault of Communication
The unit will stop when it receives no signal from the controller. Once there is any commu-
nication fault for any unit, all compressors of this unit will stop and then the water pump will
follow.

18
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

4.3.9.2 Irrecoverable Protection


(1)Protection against High Pressure for the Compressor 1/2
When it is detected that the high pressure cutoff of the compressor 1/2 is tripped off, com-
pressor 1/2 will stop immediately. If both compressors are closed, their fans will be delayed
to stop. In this case, the control panel will display an alarm symbol, which should be
cleared manually for resuming normal operation.
(2)Protection for the Flow Switch
When it is detected for some unit that the flow switch is opened, this unit will stop. When
protection for the flow switch occurs for all unit, all compressors and water pumps will stop.
(3)Fault of Communication
When a single unit does not receive any signal from the controller, this unit will stop auto-
matically. For the unit with communication fault, when all its compressors stop and then
the water pump will follow.
(4)Protection against Phase Loss/Reversal
When there is phase loss or reversal for power supply, power for the main board will be cut
off directly. In this case, there is nothing for the main board.
(5)Protection for Abnormal 4–way Valve
When it is detected that the entering water temperature is 4℃ higher than the leaving
water temperature and the leaving water temperature continuously goes down, the control
panel will display this fault.
4.4 General Introduction

It uses the capacitor type touch screen for information input. The effective area for touching
indicates the rectangular black area when the backlight of the control panel lights off.
As the flexibility of the control panel is quite high, it would make an accidental response
when there is foreign matter on the surface of the control panel. Therefore, please keep the
both the touch screen and the finger clean during operation. Also, please keep the control
panel far away from the source of high-intensity electromagnetic interference.

5.2.3.5 Filters for the Water System


The most commonly used filter is the Y-shaped filter which is usually installed at the inlet of
the water pump, reducing valve, locating valve, or other equipment. It is used to remove
impurities in the water system so as to protect valves and make the unit run normally. Its mesh
number generally is 18~30.

e.g. 1: YBY350Ⅱ-4.0/40B: it indicates YBY series, 350 nominal diameter, 4.0MPa, Ⅱ,


stainless steel, 40 meshes/ inch.
e.g. 2: YBY250Ⅲ-1.6/60 A : it indicates YBY series, 250 nominal diameter, 1.6MPa,Ⅲ,
stainless steel, 40 meshes/inch
5.2.3.6 Water Softeners
Water at the construction site is likely to be hard, which would cause heavy scale on the
pipes. Therefore, a water softener should be installed in the unit. Generally, an automatic
softener is preferred.
Electric Water Treating Equipment: it is used to remove impurities, hydrocarbonate,
bacterial, algae etc. in the cooling water.

so as to avoid pipelines from being damaged.
5.4.3 Installation Environment
(1)The unit should not be installed within 25m of the residence; otherwise a sound insulating
wall should be set up.
(2)When the unit is to be installed at the roof, the foundation should be located at the heel
posts. If the floor is quite thin, or there is VIP rooms under the floor, the spring damper is
required.
(3)Fire, inflammably, corrosive gas and waste gas should be avoided around the unit. Also,
the unit cannot be installed around the chimney and discharge fan.
(4)Ventilation should be in good condition and no air flow would be trapped.

70
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

5.4.4 Installation and Service Space


The interval between each single unit should be larger than 0.5m so that there is enough
space for entering air and maintenance. The distance between the unit and any barrier should
be or larger than 1m so as to keep good ventilation around the unit. If possible, a suncover can
be set up 3m ahead of the unit.

5.4.5 Installation Foundation


(1)The installation foundation should be designed by qualified designers.
(2)The foundation should be made of cement or steel structure and be capable of supporting
the weight of the unit. Additionally, the upper surface should be kept level. It would be bet-
ter to keep drain grooves around the foundation.
(3)The installation should be secure enough, and its surface should be smooth.

71
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

5.4.6 Handling and Lifting


Handling and lifting of the main unit should be performed by a qualified installation team.
During lifting, the main unit should be kept stable both horizontally and vertically.
5.4.6.1 Handling and Lifting
Each unit will undergo a series of strict factory inspections and tests to guarantee the
expected performance and quality. However, special attention should be paid during handling
and shipping to prevent the control system and the piping system from being damaged.
The unit should be moved by the forklift or hoisting machine. During lifting, the canvas lifting
or steel ropes in use should be of enough strength and go through the based and then bundled
tightly. The unit should be lifted stably from four corners. Meanwhile, be sure there should be
protective pads to prevent lifting ropes contacting with the unit. The inclination angle during
lifting should be less than 15 degree. The unit should be moved softly and severe collision and
forced drag are not allowed. Please do lifting as shown in the figure below for units with similar
structure.

72
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

5.4.6.2 Placement of the Main Unit


(1)Place the unit on the foundation.
(2)There should be no clearance between the foundation and the baseboard of the unit.
(3)Lift the unit, put the rubber pad on the foundation and then place the unit on the rubber
pad.
After that, be sure the horizontal slope of the unit can’t exceed 1/1000. If so, take an ad-
justment by stuffing spacers into the clearance between the foundation and the baseboard
of the unit until the slope is satisfactory.

5.5 Piping and Insulation


5.5.1 Installation of the Water System
■ Considerations stated below shall be taken carfelly for the water system.
(1)Each water inlet and outlet should be labeled properly to avoid misconnection.
(2)A flexible connector should be used at the chilled water outlet to reduce vibration
transmission.
(3)A manometer, a thermometer and a gate valve shall be installed at the chilled water inlet
/outlet. Moreover, a drain valve shall be installed at the outlet and an air release valve shall
be installed at the inlet. At the highest point of the water system, another release valve
shall be installed, while at the lowest point of the water system, another drain valve shall
be installed to facilitate drainage.
(4)The water inlet/outlet pipe should be tightly insulated to reduce heat loss and dewing.
When pipes are exposed under 0℃, a electric heater shall be installed.
(5)There surely be some foreign matters in the water system which would generate scale on
the surface of the heat exchanger, so a filter shall be installed upstream of the water
pump.
(6)The unit shall be bypassed during flushing to prevent drain out from entering the system.
(7)Under ultra-low temperature in winter, showdown at night will cause the evaporator and
pipeline frozen up, so it is highly recommended to add alcohol and propanol mixture in
chilled water. Do not cut off the power supply when the unit is turned off, otherwise the
freeze protection does not work. Alternatively, cut off the power supply and drain the water
system thoroughly.
(8)When the unit runs under the low load requirement, in order to avoid low load protection
which would affect the service life of the unit, make sure the water capacity is more than 1/

73
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

6 of total rated flow rate per hour of each module (for instance, for some project with four
modularized LSQWRF60VM/Na-M units, if the rated water flow of each unit is 10.3m3/h,
then the required capacity of the whole project should be larger than 10.3*4*1/6=6.87m3/
h). When the water course is quite short, a water tank is required; otherwise the service life
of the unit would be affected.
NOTE
Never use salt mixture to prevent the unit from being corroded.

■ How to install the water system

74
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

■ How to drain the water system:


(1)Loosen screws around the panel and then take down it.
(2)Remove anticlockwise the blind plug located at the bottom of the heat exchanger to let
the chilled water flow out, after that, tighten the blind plug and reinstall the panel. (- Note:
place the drainage equipment beneath the drain pipe to prevent pollution caused by the
drain water.

75
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

NOTE
Keep the purge valve of the water system open in order to drain the evaporator and
condenser completely.

5.5.2 Requirements on Piping


(1)The piping slope should meet design and construction regulations and the flexible pipe is
not allowed to be longer than 150mm.
(2)Pipes which go through the dilatation joint and the settlement joint should be protected
with the flexible joint.
(3)No matter which connection is used, welding, threaded connection or flange connection,
the connection joint can’t be in the wall, floor or sleeve pipe.
(4)The riser pipe should be installed vertically. When the floor height is or less than 5m, a
pipe clip is required. When the floor height is or larger than 5m, at least 2 pipe clips should
be required. The installation height of the pipe clip is 1.8m. For the main riser pipe, it
should be secured with the fixed bolster to support the weight of the riser pipe.
(5)See the table below for the installation standards of the pipes.

should be placed horizontal horizontally with the top surface parallel with the center line of
the pipe.
(2)Pattern, installation, interval and standard height of supports for metal pipes should meet
corresponding design requirements and codes.
(3)Supports should be installed securely and contact the pipe closely. Separate supports are
required at the connection joint between the pipe and the equipment.
(4)Supports for chilled and cooling water pipes as well as main and branch pipes in the ma-
chine room should be anti-vibration. When a single-bar hanger is used, anti-vibration
hangers should be set up every 15m and at the pipe ends, valves, tee joints and elbows.

80
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

4) When a flange is connected with another, they should match each other naturally to
avoid pipes or equipment from producing extra stress.
5) The flange at the branch should keep a distance of at least 100mm from the main pipe,
and the flange at the thru-wall pipe should keep a net distance of at least 200mm with
the wall.
6) When a flange is connected to the unit, a wash should be placed at the center of the
flange without any deviation. Except for design requirements, do not used dual-layer,
multi-layer, or tilted washers.

5.5.2.6 Installation of Valves and Water Filters


(1)Installation location, height and direction of valves should be correct. And they should be
arranged orderly within a deviation of 3mm in the same plane.
(2)The valve stem can’t be downward but toward the direction which will facilitate its
operation.
(3)Attention should be paid to the arrow which indicates the direction of fluid in the valve.
(4)Installation of electric valves and solenoid valves should be guided by electricians. They
should be commissioned prior to installation.
(5)The water filter is usually installed at the inlet pipe of the water pump and other equip-
ment. Pay attention to the water flow direction.
(6)The automatic exhaust valve should be installed at the highest point of the system. In or-
der to facilitate maintenance, a gate valve should be installed upstream of the automatic
exhaust valve.
(7)A drain pipe or drain valve should be installed at the lowest point of the water system. For
the closed-circuit system, an exhaust valve should be installed at the highest point of the
system and where a large amount of air may be trapped.
(8)The water filter should be installed at the inlet pipe in correction direction and easily be
cleaned. Material of the filter screen should meet the design requirements.

5.5.2.7 Pressure Test


The pressure test includes single item pressure test and whole system pressure test. The
former is done when the main pipes or concealed pipes have been installed. The latter is done

81
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

when all main pipe and riser pipes have been installed. The pressure test should be taken prior
to the insulating procedure and done in accordance with the following statement.
(1)The pressure test should be done one section by another. The manometer should be in-
stalled at the lowest point of the testing pipes.
(2)Water should be charged from the lowest point. During charging, close all inlet valves and
drain valves, but open the manifold valve and each valve at the branch pipes. During the
pressure test, it can’t be put into normal use. Special attention should be paid that the ex-
haust valve should be opened until air inside the system is removed completely.
(3)For the heat pump system, when the working pressure is or less than 1.0MPa, the test
pressure should be 1.5 times of the working pressure but no less than 0.6MPa; when the
working pressure is larger than 1.0MPa, the test pressure is the working pressure plus
0.5MPa.

(4)Raise the pressure to the test pressure and the test pressure should be kept for 10 mi-
nutes. Then, lower the pressure to the working pressure and the working pressure should
be kept for 60 minutes. No leakage through the visual inspection indicates it is satisfactory.
(5)The filling water test is taken for the condensate water system. No leakage through the
visual inspection indicates it is satisfactory.
5.5.2.8 Anti-corrosion and Insulation
(1)Anti-corrosion: supply water and return water pipes, branch pipes, and pipe brackets
should be painted with anti-rust paint twice. The damaged galvanized condensate pipes
and pipes with exposed thread also should be touched up with anti-rust paint.

1) Pipes should be painted evenly and the paint thickness should meet relative
requirements.
2) Pipes should be painted without curtaining and holidays.

82
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

(2)Insulating: PEF (δ=30mm) is taken as the insulating material.

1) The insulation should be arranged evenly and smoothly.


2) Flanges should be insulated separately.
3) Seams of the insulation should be airproof.

4) Insulation for the stainless iron sheet should be smoothly and the seams should be
airproof.
5) Flanges should be insulated separately.
6) Seams of the iron sheet should be at the downstream of the drain water.
(3)Note: for the riser pipes, when the floor height is or less than 5m, there should be a brack-
et tray for each floor; when the floor height is larger than 5m, there should be at least two
bracket trays 200mm ahead of the riser pipes. The diameter of the bracket tray can’t be
larger than the thickness of the insulation. Expansion seams should be left for the insula-
tion of the brackets. A 5mm expansion seam should be left every 5-7m on the branch
pipes. Also 30mm seams should be left for elbows. Clearance between the insulation and
the pipe sleeve should be stuffed with non-inflammable material.

(4)Pipes should be labeled with legible fonts and the direction of the fluid. The paint color
should be selected properly. Once color circles are used, their intervals should be even.
Labels listed in parallel should be arranged reasonably.

83
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

1) The typeface on the label matches with the diameter of the pipes.
2) The label indicates the name and direction of the fluid.
3) The label is eye-catching and struck reliably.
5.5.2.9 Cleaning of Pipes
After the pressure test, the system should be rinsed one section by another with the
maximum allowed flow or the flow no less than 2m/s until leaving water is as clean and
transparent as entering water. For the heat pump system, it can be put into normal use until it
has been rinsed (leaving water is as clean and transparent as entering water.) and has taken a
trial run for about 2 hours.

5.5.2.10 Protection for the Finished Product


(1)Prefabricating, anti-corrosion treatment, setup, and pressure test procedures go closely
one by once. If interrupted, the open mouth of pipes should be closed to prevent foreign
matter entering.
(2)Installed pipes can’t be taken as the lifting center, and also can’t be stepped on.
(3)Pipe repair should be finished prior to external decoration and do not damage any wall
and floor finished product after external decoration.
(4)During external decoration, installed pipes, valves, gauges etc. should be guarded by ap-
pointed personnel to prevent them from being damaged in other construction procedure.
5.5.3 Installation of the Expansion Tank
An expansion water tank should be installed for the closed-circuit water system to buffer
water expansion and constriction as well as avoid effects on the water pipes caused by
makeup water.

84
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

(1)After the full water test, surface of the water tank should be de-rusted, finished and
treated with ant-corrosion measure. The artificial anti-rust class should be st3.
(2)After that, when water tank temperature is below 30℃, it should be painted with red lead
rust-proof paint twice. When the temperature is among 30~70℃, it should be painted with
chloroethylene 4~5 times. When the temperature is among 70~95℃, it should be painted
with heat-resistant anti-rust paint 4~5 times. Do not do directly welding on the water tank
with surface treatment.
(3)The water tank should be installed horizontally and placed at a bar support which should
go 100mm beyond at each side of the base plate. Height of the bar support should be no
less than 300mm.
(4)When water pipes are installed in the room without the heating system, the water tank,
expansion pipe, circulating pipe, and signal pipe all should be insulated.
(5)The installation height of the expansion water tank should be in the way that the lowest
level of the water tank is at least 1m above the highest point of the water system.
(6)For the mechanical circulating air-to-water system, in order to keep the expansion water
tank and water system run normally, the expansion pipes of the expansion water tank
should connect to the suction inlet of the circulating water pump. For the gravity circulating
system, the expansion pipes should connect to the top of the main supply water riser pipe.
(7)For the two-pipe air conditioning system, when there is only one expansion water tank for
cold and hot water, its effective volume should be figured out based on the heating
conditions.
(8)When the water tank is or higher than 1500mm, it should have ladders both inside and
outside of the water tank. When the water tank is or higher than 1800mm, it should have
two glass gauges to indicate the water level.
(9)The circulating pipe should be connected to the main return pipe. Horizontal distance be-
tween the connection point to the constant-pressure point should be no less than
1500~3000mm.

5.5.4 Installation of Condensate Pipes


Setup-Insulating-Fastening

NOTE
(1)Adverse slope is not allowed for the slope larger than 1%.
(2)It can’t connect with the rain water pipe, sewage pipe or other pipes.
(3)The elbow ventilator should be installed at the highest point of the condensate pipe to
prevent foreign matters coming into the drain pipe.
(4)The S-shaped trap and flexible joint are necessary.
(5)The diameter of the pipes should be suitable.
(6)The wall-thru or floor-thru pipes should be protected by the steel sleeve. Do not put
seams inside the sleeve. The steel sleeve should keep flush with floor, or 20mm above
the floor for the floor-thru pipes. The steel sleeve is not allowed to affect the slope of the
pipe and can’t be used as the support of the pipe. Clearance between the pipe and the
sleeve should be stuffed by flexible non-inflammable material.

5.5.4.1 Setup
The condensate pipes should be at least 300mm away from the electric box of the unit. For
special space, its installation location should be approved by the corresponding designers.

Fig 5-1 Connection of the Main Pipe and the Branches

When the three-way valve is used for the condensate pipe, its straight two connectors
should be kept at the same level as shown in the right figure.

86
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

Fig 5-2 Tee Joint

When there are several indoor units at the same floor, their condensate is usually drained
out through one main pipe. In this case, the branches pipe for each unit should be located
higher than the main pipe. The size of the condensate pipe is determined by the capacity and
number of the indoor units.
Size of the tee drain pipe should match with the running capacity of the unit.
As pressure at the water outlet is quite large, an water trap is required for the drain pipe,
which is applicable to the horizontal type air handing units and the indoor units of the duct type
air conditioners.
A=P+25mm
B=P/2+25mm
P indicates the mmH2 corresponding to the passive pressure.
The pipe diameter should be or larger than 32mm

5.6 Electric Wiring
5.6.1 Safety Precautions
DANGER
(1)The electricians should be licensed.
(2)The air conditioning is Class I appliances and should be grounded reliably.
(3)The grounding resistance should comply with the national standards covered in GB
50169
(4)The yellow-green line is for grounding. Do not use it for other purpose or cut it off or
fixed with the self-tapping screw, otherwise it would lead to electric shocks.
(5)The power supply should be reliably grounded and do not connect the grounding line to
a) running water lines; b) gas lines; c) blow-off lines; d) other unreliable places.
(6)Do not make the power lines and communication lines entwined and arrange them
separately with a distance no less than 20cm, otherwise it would lead to abnormal
communication.
(7)Do not wire improperly power lines and communication lines. When the power line is
wired to the communication port, it would make the main board burnt out.

terminal near the main board.

94
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

(2)As shown in the diagram above, CN4 on the display panel is connected to a CN25 on a
main board of any unit by a four-core four-pin shielded communication line whose ground
wire will be linked to the terminal near the main board.
(3)The power lines should be connected to L1, L2, L3, and N at XT1 through a piece of four-
core rubber sleeve cable as shown in the figure above.
(4)There are two solutions for remote monitoring.
1) Install the remote monitoring software at the PC.
2) Based on GREE provided Modbus protocol, the user can do second development to
this protocol.
Note: those enclosed by the dotted lines indicate the remote monitoring equipment. When
the quantity of the display panel exceeds 30 or length of the communication line exceeds
800m, extra photoelectric relay is required. The photoelectric relays, communication lines
(class 5 twist pairs), converters are optional. PC should be prepared by the user
themselves.

6.4 Initial Run


Following inspections above, the unit is allowed for initial run.
6.4.1 Check for Initial Run
Check for initial run should be performed by four steps as shown below.
6.4.1.1 Check for Communication
Check if the displayed number of modules is the same as the real number. If so, it indicates
communication goes normal. If not, take the following inspections.
(1)Are all connected units powered on?
(2)Does each single unit have a unique address?
(3)Is there any single unit which has not been detected by the control? Is the communication
line of the mainboard connected correctly or is the communication line itself non-
defective?
6.4.1.2 Check for a Single Unit
(1)Commission one single unit first and stop all others.
(2)Do its compressor, fans and the 4-way valve run normally without any unusual noise?
(3)Is the voltage phase difference lower than ±2%?
(4)Voltage phase difference =(Phase difference between the max and average voltage)/
(Average voltage)×100%.
(5)Start up this single unit.
(6)Do its compressor, fans and the 4-way valve run normally without any unusual noise?
(7)Check other units one by one in the same way.
6.4.1.3 Check for the Water Flow of a Single Unit
In order to prevent the water temperature changing too quickly, it is suggested to open all
terminal units in commissioning, and observe and record the pressure drop of the manometers

101
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

at the outlet and inlet pipes. Also, adjust the flow control valves or shutoff valves to make the
flow meet application requirements.
When the environmental temperature is available, let the unit perform cooling (>15℃).
When the unit has run stably for 10 minutes, the normal difference of the entering and leaving
water should be 4-6℃.
(1)If the temperature difference is larger than 4-6℃, raise it by reducing the water flow of oth-
er units.
(2)If the temperature difference is smaller than 4-6℃, ignore it in the event that the differ-
ence of other units is suitable, and reduce the water flow of this unit in the event that the
difference of other units is also unsuitable.
(3)Check for the water flow of other units one by one in the same way.
6.4.1.4 Check for Operation of the Whole Unit
(1)Check the difference of the entering and leaving water temperature of each unit when the
whole unit has been in operation. If temperature adjustment fails, reconsider the capacity
of the selected water pump.
(2)Start up the whole unit under the full load. When the whole unit has run stably for one
hour, check if the water temperature and the air conditioning effect meet the user’s
requirements.
(3)Observe and record the entering and leaving water temperature, condensing and evapo-
rating pressure. Then, stop the unit and check the set point of each parameter on the con-
trol panel. After that, complete the commissioning date sheet.
(4)When the unit goes into the protection state, figure out causes as well as solutions.

7.5 Routine Repair


7.5.1 Repairs to Refrigerant Leakage
When soapsuds often used to detect leakage of a refrigeration system is applied to possible
leakage points. If there are bubbles, leaks occur and need repairs by brazing. If soapsuds
does not work, an electronic leak detector is an alternative. Intake and exhaust pressures
indicate refrigerant charge. If leaks exist or parts are going to be replaced, leakage test must
be taken. Refrigerant charges in two following cases should be treated in different manners.
(1)Full leaks
A leak test for the system must be taken with high-pressure nitrogen (15~20 kg) or refrig-
erant. If brazing is needed, gases in the system must be evacuated. The system must be
treated with vacuum pumping before refrigerant charges.
1) Connect evacuation pipes with fluorine nozzles at low-pressure and high-pressure
sides;
2) Vacuumize the system piping by a vacuum pump.
Procedures (one system as an example):
Step 1: Remove the high-pressure nitrogen that was used for the leak test.
Step 2: Fix pressure gauges to fluorine nozzles of high-pressure and low-pressure
valves (note: vacuum pumping should be done with both valves in the meantime.). Ei-
ther of two dials must register low pressures since only its readings indicate vacuum.

Fig 7-1 Vacuum pumping

Step 3: Turn on switches at low-pressure and high-pressure sides. Start a vacuum


pump let it continues for 0.5~1.0 hour after the reading of a pressure gauge falls to
-1bar;
Step 4: Close the valves connected to the vacuum pump shown in the figure above and
then shut down the pump (notice: it must be done in this order, or gases will enter the
system again.)
Step 5: Take a pressure test to make sure that the pressure of the system is no less
than 80Pa and will not noticeably rebound within 1 hour.
Up to now, vacuum pumping has been finished.
3) Keep the pressure for 30 minutes, and charge refrigerant when the pressure is no more
than 100Pa. Start charging according to the proper volume indicated by the nameplate
and main technical parameters table.

(2)Recharge refrigerant

Fig 7-2 Charging process

Excessive or deficient refrigerant may cause abnormal operation, malfunction or damage


to a compressor, so charge volume must comply with the requirements on the unit name-
plate which have been decided in strict tests; The figure may serve as a reference; a
charge process is as follows (one system as an example):
Step 1: Place a refrigerant container on an electronic scale and connect the container and
the pressure gauges by a flexible tube;
Step 2: Remove gases inside the flexible tube—half turning the shut-off valve of the con-
tainer, loosen the joint device between the flexible tube and pressure gauge; tighten the
joint device when a sound is sent out for 5s;
Step 3: Power up and down the electronic scale to enable it to reset;
Step 4: Ensure that the flexible tube has been evacuated and the scale reset, turn on all
valves connecting refrigerant containers and the unit; charge refrigerant required by the
nameplate to prevent oil dilution caused by excessive charging, and inhibit a capacity de-
cline of the unit induced by insufficient charging; when the unit is running, make sure it is
gaseous refrigerant (as possible as it can be) from a refrigerant container (that cannot be
turned upside down) that is injected into fluorine nozzles on intake lines; when the unit
powered down, be sure to charge refrigerant the fluorine nozzle at the high-pressure side
(if there is no nozzle at the high-pressure side, low-pressure side is an alternative.) in case
of liquid slug.
7.5.2 Air Removal
When there is air trapped in the system, expel them before charging refrigerant. The whole
system must be vacuumed as per steps stated below.
(1)Connect pipes for vacuuming at both the low and high pressure sides;
(2)Start the vacuum pump for vacuuming;
(3)When it reaches the targeted vacuum degree, charge refrigerant into the system. See the
nameplate for type and charging mount of refrigerant. Do charging from the low pressure
side. A manifold gauge should be connected to both the low and high pressure sides;

129

(4)Refrigerant charging would be affected by environment temperature. If refrigerant is un-


dercharged, start the water pump to circulate chilled water and meanwhile start the unit for
refrigerant adding. In this case, vapor refrigerant should be charged.

Is the temperature set point proper?
Is there a large amount of condensate at the chilled water pipe or the condensate pipe? Is
insulation layer damaged?

8.2.2.1 Requirements on Water Quality and Cleaning


Industrial water used as chilled water produces little scale, but well or river water will bring
much scale, sand and other sediment which then would block up the chilled water flow and
make the evaporator frozen up. Therefore, it is necessary to filter or chemically soften water
before it flows into the water system and also take analysis to quality. Once it is found water
quality is dissatisfactory, and then only industrial water is available.

Note: “○” in the table above indicates the cause for corrosion and scalelike sediment.

Even though water quality is under strict control, calcium oxide or other minerals will
gradually accumulate on the surface of the evaporator. Then, it will reduce the heat exchange
efficiency of the evaporator and consequently lead to poor performance of the unit.
Therefore, the pipe system should be cleaned periodically. Oxalic acid, acetic acid and
formic acid can be used as the organic cleaning agent, but the strong chloracid is not allowed
as it will corrode the copper tube of the heat exchanger and then lead to water and refrigerant
leakage.
■ Preparation of Materials and Tools
Several bags of environmental friendly scale remover, or similar cleaning liquid.
■ Cleaning Instructions
(1)estimate the required amount of scale remover in accordance with the system water vol-
ume and severity of scaling.
(2)add the scale remover to the water tank and the scale remover.
(3)start through the contact the water pump every 10 minutes and spread the scale remover
in water more quickly and widely.
(4)after that, follow the steps below

131
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller

1) let the water pump run for another 1-2 hours.


2) 1-2 hours later, change the cleaning solution to anti-rusting agent. Then, drain the water
system and check the water quality. If water is cloudy, then it indicates the cleaning ef-
fect is satisfactory.
3) open the water inlet to see if scale on the shell and tube has been removed. If not, clean
the shell and tube separately again by the skilled serviceman and then rinse them. If
there is still sand, scale and other foreign matters at the bottom of the shell and tube, let
cleaning solution in from the inlet pipe and then let the foul water out through the drain
outlet.
4) fully charge the water system and let it run for another 1-2 hours.
5) stop the unit to drain up waste solution. If impossible, drain it with making up water at
the same time until all waster solution has been drained out completely (at this time
water is transparent and PH is 7).
6) repeat steps ④ and ⑤.
7) clean or change the filters in the water system.
8) see if the difference between the entering and leaving water temperature is improved.

NOTE
(1)although the cleaning agent is innocuous, but care also should be taken not to let it spill
into eyes.
(2)the serviceman with injuries on the hand is not allowed to take this task.

Before and after cleaning, observe the running status of the unit, summarize the cleaning
effect and record the running parameters.
8.2.2.2 Cleaning of the Finned Heat Exchanger
In order to keep fins work efficiently, be sure there are no leaves, cotton wool, insects, and
other contaminants on the outer layer of fins, or they would lead to more energy consumption
and high discharge pressure. Generally, fins should be cleaned after the unit has run for 6-12
months, or more frequently when the environment is polluted more seriously.
(1)Cut off the power supply.
(2)Clean with high-pressure air fins against the direction of the inlet air, or clean with high-
pressure water fins at the direction upright with that of the fins but care must be taken to
control the water pressure to prevent the fins from being pulled down and protect each
electric element. If fins stick with oily matters, clean fins with neutral detergent solution.
(3)The vacuum cleaner and nylon brush also can be used to remove dust and foreign mat-
ters on the surface of the heat exchanger.
8.3 Freeze Protection in Winter
When the unit is not going to be used for a long time, clean and dry the internal and external
surfaces of the unit, and then it would be better to wrap it. Under the subzero climate, the
unused unit should be drained completely so that the shell-and-tube evaporator would not be

132

frozen up. Instead, the other way is adding some antifreeze into water to keep the water
temperature no less than 0℃.
See the following steps for how to drain water out.
(1)Loosen screws on the front panel and then remove the front panel
(2)Draw out the blind plug counter clockwise to let the chilled water flow out freely until no
water stays in. After that, place the blind plug back. (Note: put the container for foul water
beneath the drain pipe to prevent foul water from polluting the site).
