Air
Cooled Liquid Chiller
The COOLRITE Liquid Chiller is a packaged
unit completely factory assembled on a stiff steel structure
with panels made from heavy gauge zinc galvanized or zincor
primered sheets with a baked fine enamel finish, making
them weather resistant and suitable for outdoor installations.
All piping and electrical wiring is ready for external field
connection.
Units are factory tested, evacuated and R-22 charged, compressors
have the initial oil charge. Operational test is performed
to verify that all circuits and safety devices are operating
properly with large margins of security. Noise test is also
performed to verify that body panels, fans and motors, air
flow, etc, shall operate according to the highest standards
of performance.
CONTROLS
A weatherproof cabinet harbors all indicator devices,
switches, lamps, as well as most of the relays, contactors,
circuit breakers, pressure gauges (optional), electric terminals,
etc. Power

pressure gauges for each refrigerant circuit. Each gauge
is supplied with its own manual shutoff valve (optional).
FAN CYCLING MEDIUM AMBIENT CONTROL Fans are automatically
cycled in response to gas pressure to maintain adequate
head pressure and allow compressor start at 30°F ambient
(optional).

DISCHARGE
LINES - formed of pre-bent tubing or elbow fittings
with long radius bends to eliminate vibrations and minimize
pressure drops.
SUCTION
LINES - designed for minimum friction loss and proper
oil return. All suction lines are insulated with flexible
closed cell hoses.
CONDENSER COILS are made of seamless copper tubes
expanded onto aluminium fins. Copper fins and lacquered
or anodized fins are also available on request. Size of
pipes, number of rows, face area, etc... are in accordance
with the compressor capacity, evaluated as per ARI Standard
Code.
CONDENSER FANS are direct driven propeller type. Blades
are statically and dynamically balanced and run at low
RPM for quiet and vibration-free operation. Fan blades
are protected by heavy gauge fan guards. On request a
centrifugal forward curved type blower can be supplied,
statically and dynamically balanced, with parts made of
galvanized steel sheet, driven directly or by belts.
FAN MOTORS are permanent split capacitor induction
type or three phase type with inherent thermal protection.
Motors have permanently lubricated ball bearings and are
of water proof enclosed type designed for service at ambient
temperatures up to 60°C, with additional moisture protection,
making them suitable for outdoor conditions. Motors are
suitable for horizontal and vertical working positions,
and run at low speed, producing low noise, and are manufactured
in accordance with most European and American electric
norms.
COMPRESSORS. Semihermetic compressors are used, refrigerant
gas cooled type with built-in thermal protection, crankcase
heater ana large voltage capacity, suitable for 50 and
60 Hertz application. Each compressor is mounted on isolator
pads and connected via flexible-vibration-absorbers to
the rest of the copper tubing to reduce vibration transmission
to the rest of the unit. Compressors are designed for
high energy efficiency, compact construction, rugged reliability,
long-life and are maintenance free. Compressors can be
disassembled in the field for service. Oil level sight
glass is standard. Oil electronic pressure control cuts
the power to the motor when the pressure drops below acceptable
limits.
EVAPORATOR is a shell and tube type cooler. The construction
is in accordance with most American and European Norms
and Codes (TEMA). Weather and corrosion resistant suitable
for outdoor applications. Gas tubes are made of seamless
copper tubes and are tested at 28 bar (400 psi). Shell
have standard trade water outlets for thermostat, air
vent, drain and water main stream. This liquid cooler
is also suitable as liquid heater in Heat Pump mode.
ECONOMIZER is available on request, it improves the
chilling capacity of the unit, by precooling the liquid
entering into the chiller, and preheating the gas at the
compressor suction line.
INSTALLATION
of the unit is easy because it needs only to be connected
to the outside utilities: liquid line and electric power
supply. On request, an electric board with remote control
and functional display with duty lamps and alarms can
be supplied.
ACCESS
to all internal parts for cleaning or maintenance, needs
loosening of a few screws only to remove any panel. All
parts can be easily removed & replaced. |
