Pre-Startup
All startups must be performed by ClimaCool factory trained 
personnel. Prior to chiller startup, there are certain essential 
checks which must be completed. Failure to carry out these 
checks could result in damage to the chiller voiding the 
modules warranty.
Assembly
ClimaCool recommends locking down the chiller to a 
concrete base, or to three 4” base mounting rails, using the 
six bolt holes provided in each base pan. Confi rm that bolts 
have been properly tightened during installation. 
Electrical
It is imperative to turn off the main electrical power supply 
and follow proper lock-out, tag-out procedures prior to 
servicing any of the chiller’s electrical components. The 
following procedures can be performed only after the 
electrical power is confi rmed to be off :
1.
The installation must be inspected and approved by the 
respective agent and be in compliance with all local and 
national electrical codes.
2.
Check and tighten as required all electrical terminal 
connections on each module. Utilize any lock-out/tag-
out procedures required for your project location when 
performing this operation. If no procedure exists take 
all precautions necessary to prevent the power from 
being turned on. A systematic tightening of all terminals 
inside the electrical control panel on each module 
should be carried out. This will include the compressor 
motor terminals, which would require removal of the 
compressor terminal cover. Check connections at each 
safety and every termination in the panel.
3.
Verify that a separate 115 volt power supply is used 
to power the CoolLogic Master Control Panel. Field 
connections are simplifi ed requiring only a two 
conductor shielded cable daisy chain from the Master 
Controller to the modules. These control wires should 
be two-conductor shielded having #18 AWG minimum 
up to 50 feet, #16 AWG minimum up to 100 feet, rated 
at 60°C minimum. All fi eld wiring must be identifi ed 
(tagged).
4.
All fi eld connections should be check for tightness.
5.
Check all fuses for proper sizing as indicated on the 
chiller data plate and/or the electrical diagram on the 
inside door of the electrical panel.
6.
Verify proper operation of the mandatory fi eld installed 
pressure diff erential fl ow switch.
7.
Verify proper installation of the fi eld installed voltage/
phase monitor.
Refrigeration
1.
Refrigerant piping and components should be inspected 
for damage.
2.
Place refrigerant gauges on the discharge and suction 
access ports of each refrigerant circuit to ensure a 
refrigerant charge is present. Leave the gauges on for 
compressor rotation check.
3.
Confi rm the settings on all pressure switches.
Water System
1.
Confi rm that leak testing has been carried out.
2.
Confi rm that the system is clean.
3.
Confi rm that necessary water treatment systems are in 
place with the evaporator water systems.
4.
Confi rm that appropriate water analysis has been 
conducted by the end-user or facility manager.
5.
Confi rm that the results of this water analysis does not 
confl ict with the acceptable constituent ppm levels as 
indicated in Table 1, page 18. 
6.
Confi rm the chilled water circulating pumps are 
operational and water is fl owing through the 
exchanger. 
7.
Shut entering water valve and blow out some water 
to check for particles or coloration from suspended 
particles. Record the pressure diff erential across the 
chiller heat exchanger, measured at the Pete’s ports at 
each module.
8.
Confi rm correct water fl ow rates through the 
evaporator. Acquire the design parameters for the 
chiller bank form the ClimaCool Selection Program data 
(available from our local Representative). Compare the 
measured diff erential pressures from step 7 above with 
the predicted fl ow rates to ensure proper correlation to 
the fl ow results. 
9.
Verify proper installation of the fi eld installed 
temperature sensors and wells and verify calibration of 
sensors read through CoolLogic Master Control Panel. 
10.
Confi rm installation of mandatory fi eld installed chilled 
water strainer with minimum of 60 mesh screen.
