NKW 50Hz REVERSIBLE CHILLER INSTALLATION MANUAL

Reference Calculations

Verify the following:

• High voltage is correct and matches nameplate

• Fuses, breakers and wire size are correct

• Low voltage wiring is complete

• Piping is complete and the water system has been cleaned

and flushed

• Air is purged from closed loop system

• Isolation valves are open and water control valves or loop

pumps are wired

• Service/access panels are in place

• Transformer has been switched to lower voltage tap if

needed (380/420 volt units only)

• Unit controls are in “off” position

• Flow switches are installed and ready or wires are jumpered

• Freeze detection setpoints have been set in the

microprocessor

WARNING: Verify ALL water controls are open and

allow water flow PRIOR to engaging the compressor.

Failure to do so can result in freezing the heat

exchanger or water lines causing permanent damage

to the unit.

Unit Startup

Startup Steps

• Set aquastat control above cooling setpoint.
• Set aquastat control in cooling mode.
• Slowly reduce the control setting until both the compressor

and water control valve/loop pumps are activated. Verify
that the compressor is on and that the water flow rate
is correct by measuring pressure drop through the heat
exchanger and comparing to the Pressure Drop table (page
32). Check for correct rotation of scroll compressors. Switch
any two power leads at the L1, L2, and L3 line voltage
termination block if incorrect.

• Perform a cooling capacity test by multiplying L/S x T x 4.1

(antifreeze/water). Use 4.2 for 100% water. Check capacity
against catalog data at same conditions.

• Set control to “OFF” position.
• Leave unit “OFF” for approximately five (5) minutes to allow

pressure to equalize.

• Adjust control below heating setpoint.
• Set control in “HEAT” position mode.
• Slowly increase the control setting until both compressor

and water control valve/loop pumps are activated. The
reversing valve should be heard changing over.

• Perform a heating capacity test by multiplying L/S x T x 4.1

(antifreeze/water). Use 4.2 for 100% water. Check capacity
against catalog data at same conditions.

• Check for vibrations, noise and water leaks.
• Set system to maintain desired setpoint.
• Instruct the owner/operator of correct control and system

operation.
