Pre-Installation
Inspection
Upon receipt of equipment, carefully check the shipment against
the bill of lading and inspect each chiller for any damage incurred
during shipment. Thoroughly check for any visible damage of
control panels and electrical and/or refrigeration components or
broken copper lines. The carrier must make proper notation of
any damages or shortages on all copies of the bill of lading and
complete a common carrier inspection report prior to your fi nal
acceptance of the shipment.
Note: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to fi le all
necessary claims with the carrier. In addition please notify the
ClimaCool Customer Service Department, customerservice@
climacoolcorp.com of all damage immediately.
Storage
Chillers should be stored in an upright position and kept in a
clean, dry area.
Handling of Modules
Carefully remove the module’s packaging. The chiller’s steel
base cut-outs provide maneuverability by forklift or pallet jack
into its fi nal position (see Rigging and Lifting Procedures Figures
1 and 2 on page 11). Verify that all header grooved couplings
and mounting hardware kits are on site prior to connecting the
modules.
Rigging and Lifting
Each module should be lifted by using a pallet jack or fork lift.
If it is necessary to utilize a crane for rigging or lifting each
module shall be lifted by using lifting straps and spreader bars
using rigging points identifi ed on page 11 - Rigging and Lifting
Procedures.
Warranty
To ensure proper equipment longevity, design performance
and reliability, all ClimaCool chillers must be installed, operated
and maintained in accordance with ClimaCool IO&M manuals.
Water quality is of the utmost importance for the proper care
and maintenance of your modular chiller system and regular
treatment of the water will increase longevity of your system.
Failure to provide adequate fi ltration or treatment of evaporator
water will void the ClimaCool module’s warranty. A factory
authorized technician is required to perform the start-up of
your ClimaCool chiller. Please contact the ClimaCool Customer
Service Department at 405-745-3185 or email Customer Service
at [email protected] to schedule. There is
a minimum of 3 weeks’ notice required to schedule your factory
start-up.
Unit Installation
Foundation for Unit Placement
The minimum foundation requirement for the ClimaCool™
chiller is a level surface capable of bearing the combined
operating weight of the modules (See Physical Data - page
6).
Service Access
The recommended service clearances are 36” for front
service access, 18” height clearance for service and 30”
for rear service access as identifi ed in the Recommended
Service Clearances and Bank Dimensions on page 13. Local
building or electrical codes may require additional clearance
– please consult applicable codes.
Draining
When performing standard maintenance procedures such
as fl ushing a heat exchanger, it will be necessary to close
off a section of a module. ClimaCool modular chillers off er
optional water isolation valves for this purpose. Access
to a fl oor drain is helpful when performing standard
maintenance procedures.
Assembling Modules
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. Although the
compressors are installed on anti-vibration mountings,
further isolation of the chiller from the structure is
recommended by installing Vibration -eliminating springs or
pads under the base rails on which the chiller will rest (See
page 12 – Mounting Rail and Vibration Isolation). One end of
the modules should be chosen as the reference module and
carefully located.
Mounting hardware kits are factory provided for adjoining
each module. Each kit contains (2) grooved couplings with
gaskets and necessary bolts, spacers, nuts and washers. In
addition there will be one header end cap kit consisting of
(2) grooved couplings with gasket and (2) end caps.
Inspect the pipe ends to ensure they are free from any
indentations, projections, roll marks or other harmful
surface defects such as loose paint, scale, dirt, chips,
grease and rust. Inspect the grooved coupling gasket for
any defects. Apply a thin layer of silicone or other non-
petroleum lubricant to the sealing lips of the gasket as well
as to the exterior of the gasket. Install gaskets on the pipe
ends of one of the two modules to be mated. Be sure the
gasket is completely on the pipe so damage will not occur
in the next step. Move the second module into position and
line up the piping. Ensure you are maintaining alignment
for any additional modules to be added. When pipe ends
are aligned, slide the gasket over the ends and center it
between the grooves. No part of the gasket should protrude
