COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

Thermostatic Expansion Valve

This device controls the superheat of refrigerant vapor at the outlet of

the evaporator, it acts as a throttle device between the high pressure and
low pressure sides of a refrigeration system and ensure that the rate of
refrigerant flow into the evaporator exactly matches the rate of
evaporation of liquid refrigerant in the evaporator. Thus, the evaporator
is fully utilized and no liquid refrigerant may reach the compressor.

Service Valve
This is a manual valve located in the liquid line used for
pump down applications and for liquid line accessories
repair or maintenance.

Crankcase Heater
The heater minimizes the absorption of the liquid refrigerant by
the oil in the crankcase during brief or extended shutdown periods.

The heater is located in the bottom cover of the

compressor. The heater fixture must be tight to
prevent it from backing out of the heater well. The
heater eventually burns out if exposed to air for an
extended period

Never open any switch that de-energizes the crankcase heater unless unit is being
serviced or is to be shut down for a prolonged period. After a prolonged shutdown on a
service job, energize the crankcase.

COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

Filter Drier (Disposable Type)

Moisture will enter a system any time it is operated for field

services. A filter drier is a very effective method for removing
small amounts of moisture and contamination. It is installed
in the refrigerant liquid line, so that all the refrigerant in the
circulation passes through the drier, each time it circulates
through the system.

Brazed Plate Heat Exchanger cooler (BPHE cooler)

Cooler The brazed plate heat exchanger is a complete heat

exchanger which consists of stainless steel
plates, permanently brazed together with pure copper. The
plates are stacked together and from flow
chambers for two fluids.
BPHE cooler is used for one stage application with allowable
working pressure (maximum 435 Psi).
The cooler is insulated with 3/4” closed cell foam insulation.
 r w c m a n u a l

RWC Manual

Page 11
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

Sight Glass (Option)

The sight glass allows the operator or service man to

observe the flow of liquid refrigerant. It provides a
warning signal in the event that moisture has entered the
system, indicating that the filter should be changed or
that some action needs to be taken to effectively dry the
system. Clear flow of liquid refrigerant indicates
sufficient charge in the system.

Unit must be in operation at least 12 hours before

moisture indicator can give an accurate reading. With the
unit running, the indicating element must be in contact
with the liquid refrigerant to give a true reading.

Solenoid Valve

This is normally closed with a de-energized coil solenoid valve

and is fitted on the liquid line. The solenoid valve is opened
when the compressor is ON and closed when the compressor is
OFF.

Four-Way Reversing Valves (Optional For Heat Pump Units)

Pilot operated 4-way reversing valves are suitable for heat
pump application on unitary, spilt system type air conditioners,
etc.
4-way pilot valve adoption has an advantage of reliable
changeover operation and is a unique device for short cycle
prevention.
Designed for instantaneous reversing and operations under
small minimum pressure differential between the high and low
side. Pressure drop across the valve, and valve leakage are
minimized.
Provided with drip proof resin encapsulated solenoid coil.
 r w c m a n u a l

RWC Manual

Page 12
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

Suction Accumulator (For Heat Pump Option)

It's purpose is to protect the compressor from damage due to the

sudden return of liquid through suction lines.
Compressors on many air-conditioning units are often subjected to
this sudden return, resulting in broken valves, pistons, connecting
rods, crank-shafts, blown gaskets or bearing failure.
The suction accumulator, will protect the compressor, although
several pounds of refrigerant may suddenly return through the
suction line it does not flood into the compressor. The liquid
refrigerant is temporarily held in the suction accumulator and
metered back to the compressor at a controlled rate, through the
metering orifice.

COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

Compressors
Scroll Type Compressor

Low sound level:

Quieter system, lower applied costs (no sound blanket, no need for
special compressor compartment).

Scroll is the quietest compressor in it's range with the sound level
of 6dB less than the hermetic reciprocating compressor.
Very regular sound spectrum with no peaks (more sound comfort).
Reasons:
Absence of dynamic suction and discharge valves.
Absence of reversing piston strokes.
Double compliance: the forces maintaining both scrolls in axial
and radial, leak-free contacts depends on gas operating pressures; this
prevents excessive contact load and associated noise.

Absence of shut-off noise:

More end-user comfort

Immediate internal pressure balancing (high side - low side) at shut-off.

Low vibration and discharge pulses:

More durable system, lower applied costs (no need for discharge muffler), quieter system.
Smooth, continuous compression process: absence of rapid piston motion.
Each model supplied with rubber vibration absorbers.

High energy efficiency:

Lower energy costs
C.O.P. averages 3.3, this is 5 to 15% more than reciprocating compressors.
Reasons:
High volumetric efficiency (no dead space: no valve plate, no spiral tip-seals; leak-free compression
due to double compliance).
Minimized pressure losses: no valve plate, no internal suction and discharge piping; uniform gas
compression in the scroll pockets at low velocities.
Minimized heat transfer losses: physical separation of suction and discharge gas

High capacity at conditions where it is most needed (high ambient temperature in cooling mode and
heat pump conditions):
More comfort in cooling and heating modes
Reasons
High mass flow at high compression ratios (due to high volumetric efficiency).

Chilled Water Piping
Once the unit has been located in its final position, the chiller water piping may be connected.
Stop valves should be installed in all lines to facilitate servicing.
Flexible connections should be installed on the cooler inlet and outlet to prevent transmission of
water pipe vibration.
Drain connections should be provided at drain connection of the cooler for complete drainage of the
cooler.
Air vent or small valves should be installed on the cooler to facilitate servicing for water or fluid flow
balancing. Locate valves in the return and supply cooler water of fluid lines as closed to the cooler as
possible.
A strainer must be installed in the cooler inlet line just ahead of the cooler. This is important to
protect the cooler from entrance of large particles which could cause damage to the cooler.
(Recommended 40 mesh strainer)
Thermometers and pressure gauges could be installed in the inlet and outlet water lines.
A chilled water flow switch could be installed in the leaving water piping of the cooler. There should
be a straight horizontal run of at least 5 diameters on each side of the switch. Choose the right size
of the flow switch blade which complies with the pipe in which its installed. The switch to be
wired to terminals located in the control panel, as shown on the unit's wiring diagram.
‘S cooler could be supplied with two types of water or fluid connections:
A threaded male connection for small size cooler.
A flexible connection.
Upon receiving the chillers, check the type of connections. If it is of the threaded connection type,
use an adaptor of the same cooler inlet and outlet sizes and connect directly. The other connection
is a flexible connection with clamps after installing the flexible joint, apply a suitable weld to
connect the water or fluid pipe to the flexible connection.

All piping works to and from the cooler must be designed taking into considerations the followings:
Piping should be kept free of all foreign matters.
Avoid elbows, tees, and valves which decrease the pump capacity. All piping should be kept as
straight as possible.
All piping must be supported independent of the chiller.
The chilled water piping system should be laid out so that the circulating pump discharges directly
into the cooler. The suction for this pump should be taken from the piping system return line.
Flushing the chilled water piping from any foreign material before the system is placed into
operation, should be done without cooler connection to the system.

Don't flush any foreign material into or through the cooler; it should be done without
cooler connection to the system.

Power wiring must be provided through molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) or fused disconnecting
switch with the recommended rating (refer to electrical data tables) and according to the local code
requirements.
Each unit is provided with an electrical cable inlet to supply the unit with the specified power rating.
By referring to the nameplate, you can check the maximum operating current, voltage supply and
operating frequency.
The unit should be grounded in accordance with the local codes.

Control

Each chiller is provided with terminal strip for easy connection of external devices to the control
panel.
Some external devices should be connected in the field such as (water flow switch, auxiliary contact
from the chilled water pump starter, general alarm signal, etc.). These signals should be interlocked
with the control panel as illustrated in the electrical control diagram.
Refer to the wiring diagram attached with the unit for interlocking signals with the control panel.
External devices that should be field installed indicated by dash dot lines in the wiring diagram.

R.S. Terminal
These two terminals can be used for remote control (enabling/disabling) of the unit and can also be
connected with the B.M/System. These terminals must be jumpered if they are not intended to be
used (as indicated on wiring diagram)

These two terminals should be connected to volt-free contacts

General alarm terminals

These two terminals can be used for the remote fault indication which can also be used with the
B.M System to indicate the faulty of the unit. These terminals are potential free terminals.

W.F.S (Water Flow Switch)

These two terminals are available in chiller units, and must be connected without any voltage
(potential free terminal). These terminals exist to protect the unit from starting without the
correct water flow.

P.I Terminal (pump interlock)

OPERATION

Before Starting the Unit

Check the electrical connection for tightness.
Switch on the main power supply.
Use the following formula to determine the present voltage imbalance.

Example: Present Voltage Imbalance

100 x Max. Voltage Deviation
Supply Voltage = 460 volt/3ph/60Hz
Average Voltage
AB = 463 volt
BC = 462 volt
AC = 460 volt

= 463 +456 + 458

Average Voltage
3
= 459 volt

Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:

B
A C
AB = 463 – 459 = 4v
BC = 462 – 459 = 3v
AC = 460 – 459 = 1v
Motor

Maximum deviation is [4v]. Determine present voltage imbalance:

Voltage imbalance = 100 x 4 = 0.87 %
459

The amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory, as it is below the

maximum allowable phase imbalance value [2%]

Contact your local electric utility company immediately, if supply voltage phase
imbalance is more than 2%.

Check that the voltage monitor [Phase Failure Relay Lamp] is ON, and check that the setting is as
specified on the nameplate. Switch the control circuit breaker ON to energize compressor crankcase
heater.

Crankcase heaters are wired in the control circuit, so they are always operable when the
control power supply disconnect is ON, even if any safety device is open or the unit
switch is in the OFF position.

Refer to the error code displayed on the keypad and compare it to the error codes table (attached with
the wiring diagram) you can find exactly the location of error that had stopped the unit.

Refer directly to text alarm message.

Some of the error signals are manually reset others are automatic reset.
For the manual reset alarms you might need to:
Reset the alarm from the external device (such as high pressure) or/and
From the reset button on the keypad of the controller.
For the automatic reset, no need for user intervention, the controller will take the proper action
automatically.

Operation Limitation
Temperature
If the unit is to be used in an area with high solar radiation, unit should be mounted, so that the
control box is not exposed to direct solar radiation (sun light). (Refer to the Temperature Table below)

* LWT: Leaving Water Temperature Temperature Table °F

[But upon a brine chiller application the minimum Maximum Ambient Temp 125
cooler LWT will be lower] Minimum Cooler [LWT]* 38

Don't operate the chiller at water temperature below 38°F. Applications in that range
require chillers with factory modification for brine duty. Contact your
representative for more details.

Low Ambient Temperature (optional)

If the chiller is intended to be used at low ambient condition (<45°F). Low ambient kit must be added
to the chiller control panel. This is can be achieved through varying the speed of the condenser fan
motor by using frequency inverter or voltage speed regulator. The speed of condenser fan motor can be
regulated with reference to the ambient temperature to maintain constant condensing pressure in the
condenser.

MAINTENANCE

Each RWC unit is designed and constructed for minimum maintenance and dependable operation.
However, certain maintenance procedures are required to ensure maximum operating efficiency. Some
suggested procedures with the recommended intervals are listed below

Be sure to disconnect power before attempting to check or service the unit, to prevent
accidental start-up of the unit.

Special Maintenance
After each severe windstorm, check the unit’s exterior panels for secureness and damage.
After each major electrical strom, check the unit for blown fuses or tripped overloads.
Check the unit’s insulation periodically to make sure that it is secure
Perform all maintenance procedures and inspections at the recommended intervals. This will prolong
the life of the equipment and minimize the possibility of costly failures.

Weekly Maintenance
After the unit has been operating for approximately 30 minutes and the system has stabilized, check
the operating conditions & complete the procedures below:-
Check the evaporator refrigerant pressure & the condenser refrigerant pressure.
Check the liquid line sight glasses. The refrigerant flow past the sight glasses should be clear. Bubbles
in the refrigerant indicate either low refrigerant charge or excessive pressure drop in the liquid line.
If operating pressure and sight glass conditions seem to indicate refrigerant shortage, measure the
system superheat and system sub-cooling.
If operating conditions indicate a refrigerant overcharge, remove refrigerant at the liquid line service
valve. Allow refrigerant to escape slowly, to minimize oil loss. Do not discharge refrigerant into the
atmosphere.
Measure the power supply voltage, compressors and fans running amperes.
Inspect the entire system for unusual conditions and inspect the condenser coils

Annual Maintenance
for dirt & debris. If the coils are dirty clean. ( Refer to coil cleaning procedure)
Perform all weekly maintenance procedures.
Have a qualified service technician to check the setting & function of each control. Inspect the
condition of compressor & control contactors and replace as required.
Inspect all piping components for leakage and damage.
Clean & repaint any areas that show signs of corrosion.
Inspect electrical wiring condition tighten any loose connections.
Clean the condenser coils.
Clean the condenser fans, check the fan assemblies for proper clearance in the fan openings and for
motor shaft misalignment, abnormal and play, vibration & noise.
Check the oil level (if available).

MAINTENANCE

Leak Test System

All units should be under sufficient pressure to conduct a leak test after installation. If there is no
system pressure, admit nitrogen into the system until some pressure is observed and then proceed to
test for leaks. After leaks are repaired the system must be dehydrated.
Use dry nitrogen and refrigerant to raise the system pressure up to 150 Psig (1050Kpas). The procedure
requires a separate relief valve with gauge set and a gas cylinder.
With the compressed gas cylinder in the upright position, admit the dry nitrogen slowly until the
desired pressure is obtained. Carefully check the complete system for leaks by means of soap bubbles.
Where bubbles appear, a leak exists.
Check at all points that are expected to leak, such as flare connections, flanges, quick coupling, brazing,
joints..etc. Leave the system for a certain time and watch the gauge for any drop in reading. When the
test is complete, system pressure should be reduced to 0 Psig (0Kpas) the compressor is evacuated and
charged with the proper kind of refrigerant.

System Evacuation

System evacuation is considered the most important process to prepare the unit for charging and to
remove both air and moisture from the system, and it could be done as follows:

Connect gauge manifold to the system.

Purge all pressure from the system by opening the system services valve(s) and the gauge manifold
hand valves.
Connect the center hose on the gauge manifold to the vacuum pump.
Connect gauge manifold to the system.
Close off the gauge manifold hand valve.
Stop the vacuum pump but not before closing the gauge manifold hand valves.
Disconnect the center hose of the gauge from the vacuum pump and connect it to a cylinder
containing the proper type of refrigerant.
Open cylinder valves and loosen the center hose at gauge manifold. Purge the hose for a few
seconds then tighten the connection.
Close the refrigerant cylinder valves and admit refrigerant into the system until a pressure of about
5 Psig (35 Kpas) is indicated on the gauges.
Disconnect the hose from the cylinder.
Open the gauge manifold hand valves and purge the pressure from the system.
Repeat steps 3 through 11.
Repeat steps 3 through 9 only.
Open the gauge manifold hand valves and admit refrigerant into the system cylinder pressure as
indicated on the gauges.
Close the high side gauge manifold hand valves.
Start the unit and add the proper charge of refrigerant.

Refrigerant Charging
The unit is charged with the refrigerant for which it is designed. Efficient operation of an air-conditioning
unit depends on the correct charge of refrigerant by weight. In case of an under charged unit, the
evaporator is starved of refrigerant, which leads to low compressor suction pressure, loss in output and
perhaps overheating of the compressor motor, in case of suction gas cooled compressors (high superheat).
Overcharging the unit can lead to condenser overflow and thus too high condenser pressure, to
evaporator flooding and possibly to compressor damage due to liquid coming into the compressor.
Sudden pressure in the condenser indicates exceeding the pumping capacity of the unit and filling of
the condenser with liquid, increased cooling of suction line as well as an increase in noise of the
working valve in the compressor. Liquid knocking also indicates unit overcharge or incorrect
adjustment and/or incorrect function of the control system. Gaseous refrigerant is only charged if small
quantities are intended.
Refrigerant bottles with double or single valves stand upright and refrigerant is charged by means of the
pressure gauge connection in the compressor suction shutoff valve. When doing so, check condenser
pressures when charging liquid refrigerant and determine charging weight. If cylinder pressure drops
too low for further charging before the job is finished, place cylinder in a bucket of warm (77° - 113° F)
water, or use a heat lamp to increase pressure. Do not apply heat with a torch. Never heat cylinder
above 122°F.

Refrigerant Charging

Never heat bottles with the flame of the lamp such as a Bunsen or welding burner.

The process used most often to determine the correct refrigerant quantity is by observing the refrigerant
flow in the sight glass in the liquid line. Since an uninterrupted supply of liquid is necessary for the
proper functioning of expansion valves, it may be assumed that the unit has been correctly filled when
a clear flow of liquid refrigerant is visible. Bubbles or foam usually indicate insufficient refrigerant.
However, care should be taken that no bubbles are seen in the sight glass, even though, the unit has
been fully filled.
 r w c m a n u a l

RWC Manual

MAINTENANCE

Additionally the temperature in the condenser could also lead to sudden evaporation, e.g. by switching
the fan ON at the condenser. Thus, the sight glass is a valuable device in determining the correct
filling quantity.
After all field connections (electrical and mechanical) have been completed and the system has been
evacuated, the system can be fully charged with refrigerant in two ways as shown below.

The main job of a service engineer is to upkeep modern, mechanical cooling system running. It is
essential to know the proper way to handle refrigerant to all types of systems. All systems do not use
the same refrigerant. All systems do not use the same amount of charge even when capacities may be
entirely comparable.

All manufacturers include a name-plate that clearly lists the refrigerants for which the system was
designed. How much charge to use will vary widely from system to system. This makes it doubly
important always to check the catalogues & service bulletins..

Do not charge blends in vapor phase. This means that the refrigerant should be removed from the
cylinder as a liquid (either from the dip tube in a two valve cylinder or by inverting the cylinder). The
liquid is allowed to evaporate (flush) in the charging lines. Small systems with a single component
refrigerant such as 134a are usually charged through the gauge port of the compressor suction service
valve.
Normal procedure is:
Back-seat suction service valve as for normal operation.
Loosely connect line from service manifold to suction service valve gauge port.
Connect center line from manifold to the refrigerant cylinder.
Back-seat discharge service valve.
Loosely connect remaining line from service manifold to discharge service valve gauge port.
Slightly open cylinder valve to purge vapor up to the compressor discharge service valve.
Tighten discharge service valve connection at gauge port.
Purge vapor from cylinder up to compressor suction service valve.
Tighten suction service valve connection gauge port. Open both compressor service valve.
Place cylinder of refrigerant on weighing scale.
Pressurize system to full cylinder pressure and make final leak check.
Start compressor. Run unit head pressure and suction pressure stabilize. Open the cylinder valve
completely and control the flow of refrigerant from the manifold. From time to time, note suction
pressure with the cylinder valve [Link] time to time, note discharge pressure to see that it
does not rise above the level normally expected under operating conditions. For air-cooled system,
the discharge pressure should be approximately the pressure corresponding to ambient temperature
plus 52° F (refrigeration) to 63° F (air conditioning). When correct weight of refrigerant has been
introduced, close cylinder valve and disconnect charging line.
When satisfied that the system is operating as it should, back-seat both suction and discharge
service valve. Bleed pressure from both gauge lines through the manifold charging port.
Replace cylinder valve cap and fit flare plugs in open ends of charging and gauge lines. Replace
plugs in gauge ports of compressor service valve.

If possible, refrigerant should always be charged by weight, using a good scale.

 r w c m a n u a l

RWC Manual

MAINTENANCE

If cylinder pressure drops too low for further charging before the job is finished, place
cylinder in a bucket of warm (77-115°F) water, or use a heat lamp to increase pressure.
Do not apply heat with a torch. Never heat cylinder above 122°F.

Charging the refrigerant in the liquid phase has always been customary for larger systems. It is
essential for charging blend refrigerants such as 407 c. If a complete charge is to be added to an
evacuated system the liquid is frequently charged through the compressor discharge service valve.
The compressor is not operated while charging. The procedure for attaching the manifold and purging
the lines is similar to that described for vapor charging. On most systems, a charging port is located on
the liquid line downstream from the receiver.
In this case, refrigerant can be added while the system is not operating. General suggestions will not
always apply to specific operations but the following outline may be helpful.

Connect the refrigerant cylinder to the charging port. Use as short a line as possible to minimize water
contamination or use a drier if indicated by conditions. The cylinder should be upside down if it does
not have a liquid/ vapor valve. Install a pressure gauge so that the compressor discharge pressure can
be observed.

With the connection to the charging port loose, crack cylinder valve and purge charging line with
refrigerant using the VAPOR hand wheel of a cylinder fitted with a liquid/ vapor valve. Tighten
connection, open cylinder valve and check for leaks.

Close the valve at the receiver outlet or if there is no receiver close the valve in the liquid line upstream
from the charging port. This is necessary to prevent the condensing pressure from forcing liquid into
the cylinder.

With the compressor running , slowly open the charging port valve and charge liquid using the LIQUID
hand wheel at a rate fast enough to keep the compressor from cutting out on low-pressure control if
possible. The refrigerant flow can also be controlled by the cylinder valve to avoid ending up with a
hose full of liquid refrigerant, The same result can be obtained by closing the cylinder valve first when
charging is finished.

Watch the discharge pressure. A rapid rise in pressure indicates, that the condenser is filling with
liquid. If this is the case, the system pump-down capacity still seems low on charge, an auxiliary
receiver may be needed.

Never charge the liquid in the low pressure side of the system.

Don't overcharge. Overcharging results in higher pressure, possible compressor damage

and higher power consumption.

During charging or removal of refrigerant, be sure water/fluid is continually circuiting

through the cooler to prevent freezing. Damage caused by freezing is considered abuse
and may void PETRA warranty.

System Pump Down

This procedure is used to isolate the refrigerant in the condenser coil. This process can be utilized for
maintenance, repairs and long periods of shutdown.

Pump down procedure:

Install pressure gauge in the unit, if not installed.
Install a jumper across the terminals of the low pressure cutout.
Operate the unit.
Start closing the shut off valve while the unit is operating.
When low pressure gauge reaches about 5 Psig shut down the unit.
Immediately close the compressor suction valve.
Repeat the above once again.
Remove the jumper from the low pressure cutout.

Charging Filter Drier

The main function of the filter dryer is to eliminate any humidity or deposits inside the system. When
the filter is blocked, a certain pressure drop across the filter occurs and a temperature difference
between the liquid in/out and the filter can be sensed. In this case the filter has to be changed.

The process is as follows:

System pump down procedure has to be carried out.
Loosen the flare connection or solder of filter drier.
Take out the old filter.
Install the new filter drier.
Evacuate the low pressure side (do not forget to open solenoid valve).
Open all valves, and the unit is ready to start.

Compressor Oil
All units are factory charged with oil. The approved oils to be added upon need are:
Mobil RL 32CF

Do not re-use drain oil and do not use any oil that has been exposed to the atmosphere.
 r w c m a n u a l

MAINTENANCE

Coil Cleaning
Clean the condenser coils at least ONCE each year, or more frequently if the unit is located in a "dirty"
environment. This will maintain proper unit operating efficiencies. To clean the coils, use a soft brush
and a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning the Evaporator

The chilled water system is a closed-loop and therefore should not accumulate scale or sludge. If the
chiller becomes fouled, first attempt to dislodge the material by back-flushing the system.

Water Flow Limits

Evaporator flow rates below the tabulated values will results in laminar flow causing freeze-up
problems, scaling and poor control. Evaporator water flow rates exceeding those listed may result in
excessive tube erosion.

The use of improperly treated or untreated water in this equipment may result in scaling,
erosion, corrosion, algae or slime.

Final Check
Before leaving the unit, check all controls and protective devices function properly .
