GENERAL
The VKCR chiller is designed to cool water or other non-corrosive liquids. Water is circulated through the direct expansion evaporator where it is cooled to the desired temperature and then circulated to cooling coils for air conditioning, or to other types of heat exchangers for process cooling.
Care should be taken to ensure that the equipment is properly installed and adjusted. An installer or operator should first be familiar with the information in this manual.
INSPECTION
When the equipment is delivered, it is important that the following inspection be completed in the presence of the carrier's representative:
- Check all crates and cartons received against the Bill of Lading/Shipping Papers to be sure they tally.
- Check the model number and the electrical characteristics on the nameplate to determine if they are correct.
- Check for freight damage, shortages or other discrepancies and take note of them on the delivery receipt before signing. Should any damage be found, a damage claim should immediately be filed by the purchaser against the delivering carrier as all shipments are made at the purchaser's risk.
GENERAL
Each unit has been carefully tested and packed at the factory where every care is taken to ensure that the unit reaches you in perfect condition. It is very important that the riggers and movers use the same care and precaution in moving the equipment into place. Make sure, that chains, cables, or other moving equipment are placed so as to avoid damage to the unit or piping. The refrigerant piping should not be used as a ladder oras a handle. Do not attach a chain hoist sling to the piping or equipment. Move the unit in an upright position and let it down gently from trucks or rollers.
RIGGING AND MOVING
Any unit mounted on skids may be moved with a forklift, but care must be taken not to damage the unit with forks. The skids should not be removed until the unit is at its final location.
GENERAL
The dimensional data and clearances that follow are useful for determining space requirements. The unit should be placed to make the clearance noted available for proper servicing. Failure to allow such clearance will cause serious problems and result in higher costs for operation, maintenance and repair.
VKCR
The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding on the location of an air-cooled equipment, is the provision for supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated air from the condenser area. When this essential requirement is not provided, it will result in higher condensing temperatures, which will cause poor operation, higher power consumption and eventually failure of equipment. Units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts. Another consideration which must be taken into account is that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive spaces and must have adequate support to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building. Units should be mounted over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms or other auxiliary areas where sound levels are not an important factor. Sound and structural experts should be consulted for recommendations on critical installations.
FOUNDATION
ODYNE AIR COOLED UNITS
The foundation must be level for proper operation and functioning of controls and provision must be made for supporting the individual load points as shown in Figure
Roof mounted units must be supported on adequate steel structures. If units are located on the ground level, a concrete plinth is recommended.
