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.

4.3.2.3 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.

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.

half of the diameter of the bolt
2) Flange screws should be fastened along the diagonal to form an even seam.
3) The flange is not allowed to be directly welded to the elbow but used for the straight pipe
at least 100mm long.
80

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.
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
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.
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.
85
A Series Modular-type Air-cooled (Heat Pump) Chiller
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.
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
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
5.5.4.2 Insulating
The extended drain pipe should be insulated and special care must be paid to the elbows.
See the table below for the thickness of the insulation.

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.

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
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

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).
