Close System
Pipe installation forms a close circuit minimum
water loss in these type of system. Expansion
tank / make up water tank is sufficient to top up
the loss water

5. Water Piping Design

Mini chiller is designed with application


of a close water piping system.
Possible to use the unit with an open
system by adding a buffer / intermediate
tank and pump.

5. Water Piping Design

Open System
Pipe works form an open loop. Usually
use for cooling tower, formation of alga /
bacteria is normal. Water treatment required

Design & Application


5. Water Piping Design
If buffer tank being used,
Baffle plate install to prevent return water mixing with
chilled water
Suitable to use for multiple chiller operation
Water tank can be sized accordingly as storage to allow
longer cycled off period for chiller, hence saving energy
Care to ensure no air leakage along pump suction line
to prevent air trap - automatic air vent
Take care of the water quality, water treatment
required
Use only when necessary, i.e. total water volume is
insufficient and need buffer storage to take care of
actual requirement / multiple chiller / standard built in
pump head insufficient

The equivalent pipe length of a component in the pipe
system is the length of a straight pipe which will give the

Expansion tank
Expansion tank provide a space into which water can expand or
from which it can contract as the water go under volumetric
changes with respect to temperature change. This device is
compulsory in heat pump units.

Spacing between the plates is small, no debris, fouling or
scaling in the system is important to ensure no restrict in
water flow and thus performance not affected.

Strainer along water suction line will remove debris like


sand, metal debris, etc..
It is good practice to install filter at the make up water
supply line.
Filter elements required periodical service to remove
trapped particles.
Flushing the pipe with water during initial start up and
commissioning of the min chiller is necessary

9. Water Treatment
Fouling refers to the tendency of water form a film on
the heat transfer surfaces. Fouling can be organic or
inorganic surface fouling.

Organic fouling includes microbiological growth. Algae


may also form on these surfaces. This is more
significant in open system
Scaling is inorganic fouling. It is normally caused by
deposit inorganic salts
Symptoms: sudden increase in pressure drop and
gradual drop in heat transfer performance
Remedy : Chemical cleaning

Technical
Technical Training
Training 2007

Design & Application


9. Water Treatment

Organic fouling can be removed by use of alkaline cleaning


agent like sodium hydroxide at 5% concentration. Refer to
chemical manufacturer for more details instruction. Make
sure the excess chemical is fully clean up from the system
Inorganic fouling most commonly need acidic based cleaning
agent. Mineral acids has strong ability to dissolve scales, but
attack/corrode stainless steel and copper parts, hence is not
recommended. Organic acids at 2 - 5% concentration is
more ideal when used to clean BPHE.
Refer to chemical manufacturer recommendation on the
dosage requirement. Upon completion, flush with clean water
to remove excess acids.
It is recommended that the water to be replaced at least
once a year to prevent fouling on the BPHE

Glycol Solutions
If sensor setting has been adjust for process cooling - to operate
at lower temperature, precaution must be taken to prevent water
freeze up. For sub zero application, the water must mix with anti
freeze glycol solution.

2 commonly used glycol : ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.


Ensure the quantity mixed with water is sufficient to cater for the
operating temperature requirement. The more glycol added, the
capacity loss is higher.
Make sure water pump is on all the time to ensure continuous
water flow through BPHE to prevent formation of ice.

The option Alarm LED from terminal AL1 and AL2 in mini
chiller is meant to be installed into the external control switch
board - to indicate if an abnormal operation has occur. The
PCB will give out a signal to light up the LED when any of the
protection devices trip.
The option Remote Switch may be located at a convenient
place for easy access to the user. It may be placed inside the
switchboard. It can also act as an emergency switch to stop
the chiller

Before carrying out any operations on the electrical system, make


sure that the unit is de-energized.

It is important that the appliance is grounded.

Before connecting the power supply lines, check that the available
voltage value does not exceed the range specified in the electrical
data being provided in Installation Manual.

Its recommended to check the correct sequence of the 3 supply


phases R-S-T before the unit start up.

Check that components of the external water circuit have been


installed properly, and according to the manufacturers instructions.

Check that the filling of the hydraulic circuits, and make sure that the
fluid circulation is correct, without any trace of leaks and air bubbles.

Check that the direction of rotation of the pumps is correct.

Check that the water quality is up to the specification.
