Page: 6 VL Series Portable Chillers, 0.25 to 1.5 Tons UGH020/0301
1.1 UNIT LOCATION
A. The unit is designed for indoor use only. For most efficient
operation, locate the chiller in a clean, dry and well ventilated
environment.
B. The unit has an air-cooled refrigerant condenser. For air-cooled
condensers, a motor driven fan generates air flow through the
condenser to remove heat from the refrigerant system. The air-
cooled condenser on the unit will discharge a maximum of 15,000
BTUs per hour per ton of cooling.
C. The unit must have a minimum entering air temperature of 60°F
and a maximum entering air temperature of 95°F for efficient
operation.
D. The unit must have a minimum of two feet clearance at the air
intake and six feet at the exhaust air discharge.
E. If the operator has any questions concerning the location and
operation of the unit, contact the Conair service department at
800-458-1960.
1.2 EFFICIENCY
A. Long term efficiency of operation is largely determined by proper
maintenance of the mechanical parts of the unit and the water
quality. Conair recommends filtering where required to prevent
solids from plugging critical parts (pumps, heaters, seals for
example). Conair highly recommends the services of a competent
water treatment specialist be obtained and his recommendations
followed. Conair accepts no responsibility for inefficient operation,
or damage caused by foreign materials or failure to use adequate
water treatment.
1.3 SAFETY
A. It is important to become thoroughly familiar with this manual and
the operating characteristics of the unit.
B. It is the owner’s responsibility to assure proper operator training,
installation, operation, and maintenance of the unit.
C. Observe all warning and safety placards applied to the unit. Failure
to observe all warnings can result in serious injury or death to the
operator and sever mechanical damage to the unit.
1.4 CLEAN AIR ACT
A. The unit contains HCFC-22 (chlorodifloromethane). This is a class 2
substance.
