Main condenser water valve closed or restricted

Open valve to full open position

Module condenser water isolation valves, if
provided, closed or restricted

Open valves to full open position

Water regulating valve incorrectly set or
defective

Reset or replace

Compressor discharge valve partially closed

Open valve to full open position

Non-condensable gases in hydronic system

Recover non-condensable gases from bleed valve on condenser
or at bleed valve of the building condenser water system

Overcharge of refrigeration

Recover refrigerant from system while in operation until the first
sign of bubbles are shown in the sight glass. Add back refrigerant
just until bubbles clear.

Condenser water temperature high

Check water supply temperature against requirements; if cooling
tower is used check spray nozzles on cooling tower.

Improper condenser water circulation

Use an ample sized cleanable strainer in the condenser water
circuit; make certain the strainer is clean to insure full flow of
condenser water (strainer must be 60 mesh minimum). It may
sometimes be necessary to treat water to prevent formation of
deposits.

Insufficient water flow through the condenser

Check water flow through condenser against design
requirements

Fouled condenser brazed plate heat exchanger

Clean-in-place heat exchanger as described in IOM (page 31)

Defective high pressure switch

Replace high pressure switch

Improper charging

Charge per ClimaCool data plate information, located on the
chiller, following the Superheat and Subcooling procedure
described in IOM (page 27)

Improper chilled water circulation

Use an ample sized cleanable strainer in the chilled water circuit;
make certain the strainer is clean to insure full flow and velocity
of chilled water (strainer screen must be 60 mesh minimum). It
may sometimes be necessary to treat water to prevent formation
of deposits.

Not draining for winter shutdown

When the system is shut down for the winter, remove the drain
plugs from the flush ports and drain the cooler. Blow out
remaining water with air.

Faulty leaving chilled solution temperature

Verify sensor calibration using a calibrated thermometer and
replace if defective.

Wrong freeze-up protection temperature
setpoint

Verify leaving chilled solution freeze protection temperature
setpoint to be set at 6

o

F above solution freeze point

Troubleshooting Guide

WARNING

To avoid the release of refrigerant into the atmosphere,
the refrigerant circuit of this unit must be serviced only by
WHFKQLFLDQVZKRPHHWORFDOVWDWHDQGIHGHUDOSUR¿FLHQF\
requirements.

All refrigerant discharged from this unit must be recovered
WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Technicians must follow industry
accepted guidelines and all local, state and federal statutes for
the recovery and disposal of refrigerants.

If a compressor is removed from this unit, system refrigerant
circuit oil will remain in the compressor. To avoid leakage of
compressor oil, the refrigerant lines of the compressor must
be sealed after it is removed.

Note: See page 41 for Troubleshooting for ATF Package
