FLEX offers "true operational modularity

maintenance on any individual module without system shut-
down. Scheduling for chiller shutdowns becomes a thing of
the past.
Unit Rigging
Each module has rigging points identifi ed on page 21 of this
manual. Depending on the length of the slings, a spread er bar
may be required. The lifting ar

Foundation for Unit Placement
The minimum foundation requirement for the ClimaCool
®
chiller is a level surface which has been checked to ensure
that it is capable of bearing the combined weight of the mod-
ules. Although the compressors are installed on anti-vibration
mountings, further isolation of the chiller from the structure
can be achieved by in stalling vibration-elim

Space and Location Requirements
ClimaCool

modules are virtually vibration-free and may
generally be installed anywhere in the building. The path
by which the modules are to be moved should be checked
for obstructions. The space required for service access is

able parts (refer to drawing on page 22 - Service
Clearance.) The suitability of this space to provide for safe
working access must be assessed with a full knowl edge of the
plant room layout.
ClimaCool Application Parameters
Units should be located with convenient access to a drain as
there will be times when it is necessary to drain the units.
Clearances
Minimum distances are listed in the Service Clearance sec-
tion on page 22 of this manual.
Electrical Connections
The power for all individual modules should be provided
from a suitably protected supply. The electrical service can
enter the individual units from either the top left or bottom
left of the chiller and enter the unit’s control enclosure from
it's left side.
After the power wiring has been run, the control wires can
enter the top right of the control panel to be connected. The
wires should be carefully marked and installed in the termi-
nals shown on the wiring diagram. Sensor wiring should not
be run in the same conduit with the power wiring and should
be laid out to prevent noise in

A separate 115 volt power supply is required to power the
ClimaCom control panel. Refer to the Power Distribution
section on page 29 of this manual.
Control Circuit Power
The ClimaCom
™
master control panel (remote-mounted) re-
quires a 115 volt power supply and contains a 24V step down
transformer with internal circuit breaker protection and a 115
volt outlet (for start-up and maintenance, laptop PC power
supply only). Each module contains it’s own step down trans-
former and circuit breakers for internal 24V control circuit
power.
Freeze Protection
ClimaCool
®
modular chillers are equipped with an anti-freeze
protection thermostat on each module. Ethylene or Propylene
Glycol can be added for additional protection. Do not use
