B. CHILLER PRE-COMMISSIONING
No PROCEDURES DONE REMARKS
1 Check if the chiller still has a nitrogen holding charge of about 3 to 5 psig. If not, a leak test
must be carried out.
Pressure _____________ psig
2 Check the power leads from the motor. Meg test each motor terminals. (line to line and line
to ground)
Notes:
¾ For solid state starter, remove or disconnect motor terminals from solid state starter
terminals.
¾ Remove surge suppressor if installed or available prior to megger testing.
¾ Never megger test the unit in a vacuum.

3 Before relieving the holding N2 pressure, calibrate the High-Pressure Control (HPC).
Reinstall HPC & retight properly.
Cut out ______________ psig Cut in ______________ psig
4 Relieve the nitrogen holding charge from the unit, and if location is not well ventilated, the
holding charge should be vented outside by connecting a hose to the valve.
5 Connect the vacuum pump to start evacuation. Use a 2-stage pump with at least 5 CFM
capacity. Connect to the evaporator-charging valve with a hose no smaller than ¾ inch ID.
Note: For the IT Cutler-Hammer Solid State Starter it is necessary to shut off all power to
the unit prior to evacuating the chiller. The IT starter terminals 4, 5, and 6 hot when the unit
is off. Failure to shut off power to the chiller, with the vacuum pump hook up, will cause a
motor failure.
Evacuate the chiller unit until it reaches a vacuum of 500 microns to 1000 microns. Wait
for 12 hours for a valid vacuum leak test. If the rise in vacuum is less than 500 microns per
12 hours start up may proceed.
Vacuum drawn to : _____________ microns
Vacuum reading after 12 hrs. _____________ microns
6 Charge refrigerant. Drain water from the evaporator or circulate water while breaking
vacuum. Do this after leak testing the water side of the system or put a drain hose on when
checking vacuum rise test. Breaking vacuum is not necessary if the evaporator has been
properly drained. If water is present in the tubes, break machine vacuum with refrigerant
vapor, or circulate water, to avoid damage of tubes.

Amount charged ________lbs/kg.

PSID PD actual ____________ GPM actual _____________
4 Start the unit.
If the phase rotation of the electrical power has not been positively confirmed, the actual
rotation of the motor must be checked. Observe the rotation of the motor shaft though the
sight glass on the end of the motor the moment of start up. Rotation must be clockwise.
5 When the unit starts and runs, observe closely all operating conditions and make necessary
adjustments.
6 Re-adjust the oil pressure regulator if necessary to 18 to 22 psi net. In the Operators Setting
Menu of the UC800, place the purge operating mode to “on” to allow the removal of non
condensable it may also be necessary to increase the length of the Purge Service Override
timer found in the Field Start Up Group Menu. After the unit has the system down to the
design leaving chilled water temperature and is under control, and the purge is no longer
relieving non condensable, begin taking the start up log. Log the unit 3 times at 15 minutes
interval. In the Operator Setting Menu of the UC800, return the purge operating mode to
“Adaptive”
