3. STRUCTURE OF TWO STAGE CENTRIFUGAL
CHILLER
3-1. Cycle of the chiller
The two Stage Centrifugal chiller uses environment friendly high pressure refrigerant R-134a.
- In this cycle, as shown in the following figure, the vaporized low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas passes the Inlet Guide Vane, and enters the 1st impeller of the compressor.
Since the inlet gas amount is dependent on the guide vane’s opening, the chiller capacity can be controlled.
- Refrigerant gas that entered the 1st impeller is compressed to a mid-temperature and mid pressure, passes through the return channel, cooled by low temperature gas from the economizer, and then enters the 2nd impeller.
- The refrigerant gas entered the 2nd impeller is compressed as high-temperature and high-pressured refrigerant gas, and discharged to the condenser. The gas loses its heat via cooling water in the heat transfer tubes and eventually condensed to liquid.
- The condensed refrigerant liquid passed the 1st orifice, becomes mixed state and enters the lower part of the economizer which divides into gas and liquid of refrigerant. The gas part is mixed with the mid temperature and mid pressured gas which was compressed in the 1st impeller, and then enters the 2nd impeller. The liquid part of the refrigerant enters the lower part of evaporator via 2nd orifice.
- The liquid refrigerant entered into the evaporator, is then spread into wider surface of evaporator by distributor. Finally the distributed refrigerant evaporates by taking the heat from the chilled water inside the evaporator tubes and repeats the cycle.
- Some part of the over-cooled refrigerant liquid in the condenser, flows through the valve, filter, moisture indicator, and enters into the motor and oil cooling system individually.
- The refrigerant liquid flew into the motor is being sprayed so that it can cool the motor's coil and is returned to the evaporator.
- The refrigerant flew into the oil cooling system, flows through the disc-shaped oil cooler. Refrigerant that left the oil cooler is then returned to evaporator.

Fig 5. Hermetic two-stage high-speed compressor
*Two-stage centrifugal chiller compressor is composed of impeller, bearing, diffuser, capacity control device and high-speed gear. The low temperature and low pressured gas taken from the evaporator, goes through impeller, diffuser and finally discharged to condenser as high temperature high pressure gas.
The characteristics of the compressor main components are as follows.
1. Impeller
• The vane of impeller designed aerodynamically based on the 3D fluid analysis, guarantees the reliability in any operational condition.
• To minimize vibration, the impeller took dynamic balancing work. It also guarantees the overall reliability of the impellers by taking the strength test, hardness test, non-destructive test, etc. for every impellers produced.
2. Bearing
1) Compressor type : A0 ~ E3
1.1) Ball bearing is composed of isolated bearing on motor axis and angular contact bearings on the impeller axis.
1.2) Ball bearing structure is subjected to a radial and axial load at the same time.
1.3) Because oil supply flow in ball bearing structure is small, the rotation system is more compact design.
2) Compressor type : F1 ~ G3
2.1) Bearing is composed of bearing in motor axis, radial bearings and thrust bearings on the impeller axis.
2.2) Bearing are made out of white metal to achieve persistence and corrosion resistance. By designing to lubricate to radial bearing and thrust bearing it can avoid the metal to metal contact during the operation.
2.3) To increase the reliability of the journal bearings, Offset type and 3-Lobe type bearings are applied.
3. Capacity control device
• It adjusts the refrigerant amount taken through the compressor inlet to adjust the capacity of the chiller, and it adjusts the opening of the vanes using the external actuator. The amount of refrigerant taken in is adjusted according to the set of chilled water outlet temperature.
16
Heat exchanger
Heat exchanger of two-stage centrifugal chiller is composed of two shell type for easy separation into evaporator and condenser. The tubes are arranged so as to maximize the heat exchanging ability. It is also designed so that the refrigerant can be spread evenly on all tubes for the sake of surge prevention and the COP decrease in part load operation. Efficiency increasing purpose sub cooler is adopted for the subcool of the condensed refrigerant.
A relief valve for an abnormal situation is at the upper part of the heat exchanger.

Figure 7. Condenser
Expansion device and economizer
Expansion device is composed of butterfly valve and fixed orifice. At 100% load, the pressure loss of orifice is lower than the level of refrigerant in condenser. Thus the subcooled refrigerant passes through the orifice while the maximum refrigerant flows through the evaporator. If the load decreases gradually, the circulation of the refrigerant also decreases resulting in decreasing of refrigerant level in the condenser. If the refrigerant liquid level decreases, more gas generated in the orifice and the resistance increased, which becomes to control the flow rate.
Figure 8. Economizer
The condensed refrigerant liquid passed the 1st orifice enters the economizer which divides into refrigerant gas and liquid. The refrigerant gas is mixed with mid-temperature, mid-pressure gas compressed in the 1st impeller.
The refrigerant liquid goes through 2nd orifice to be taken into evaporator. The mid-temperature and midpressured gas between the 1st and the 2nd impeller become cool by mixing with the cool refrigerant gas supplied from economizer before sucked in to the 2nd impeller.
As such, when the 2nd impeller discharge gas temperature is decreased by decreasing 1st impeller discharge gas, the power required by the compressor is decreased
-increasing the cycle efficiency. The efficiency increase much higher than by the 1 Stage compressing method.

Figure 9. Lubrication cycle
Introduction
The discharged lubricating oil by the oil pump enters the oil filter to get rid of any unnecessary foreign substance.
This oil becomes cooled to the temperature appropriate for operation condition after through the oil cooler, part of it directly enters gear and high speed side bearings, and the remainder directly enters motor shaft bearings. After the process, it will be drained into the oil tank. The above figure shows the lubrication system of two-stage compression type.
Lubrication cycle
Lubricating oil is forwarded through the manual oil charge valve to the Lubrication System.
Oil level can be detected through a sight glass on the oil tank. During the operation, the level should be able to be detected at least from one of them.
The temperature of the oil tank is indicated on the control panel and its temperature range is 30~65 °C while operating. What the oil pump does is to transfer the oil from the oil tank to the system and the adequate pressure different would be above 1.0 kg/cm
2 that is maintained by the oil pressure controller. The differential pressure can be seen on the control panel pressure gauge display by the differential pressure between oil tank and oil pump.
The oil pump also helps to send the oil to the oil filter. A valve is installed at the oil filter so that no need to drain the whole oil when replacing the filter only.
After the oil is sent to the oil cooler it is cooled by the refrigerant flowing from the condenser. The refrigerant cools the oil at the temperature between 40~60 °C.
A part of the oil flows through the thrust bearing and gear spray, whereas the rest lubricates the motor shaft bearings and the radial bearings. The oil temperature in the oil tank is measured by temperature sensor and displayed.
The timer automatically activates the oil pump for 120~180 seconds to maintain a constant pressure first before starting compressor. After the system has been shut down, 300~600 seconds lubricating is taken place after the compressor is stopped.
18
Oil reclaim system
Oil reclaim system provides the system to reclaim the oil from the heat exchanger and let it come back to the oil tank. Normally, it is reclaimed at the evaporator, and the vane housing. Refrigerant which came back into the oil tank will then be evaporated to the gas and flow through the Oil Seperator line which is located at the upper part of the casing, and then it will be sent to the inlet of the compressor. Oil that is contained in the refrigerant is separated by the demister filter.
MAINTENANCE
Most of the lubrication related deficiencies in rotating parts of the chiller are because of the oil itself. If adequate viscosity, pressure and flow are not obtained, lubricating performance will decrease. Impure substances that are present in the oil also are a cause for the deficiencies.
Freon type refrigerant have chemical attraction with the oil. The viscosity changes according to the temperature and pressure of oil. We have designed the chiller with these problems into consideration.
An oil pump run by hermetic electro motor and a heater controlled by the controlling device are installed in the oil tank to prevent the trouble caused by the refrigerant inflow into the oil, decrease of the viscosity, damage of the pump caused by the cavitation (vaporizing of water and formation of bubbles as becoming partially low pressurized when water or flow at high speed) and the oil inflow into the refrigerant by forming. For these reasons the oil tank is maintained at a high temperature.
The reason to start the oil pump for certain while before the startup of the chiller, is to prevent the compressor's initial unsteady operation because the left over oil in bearings or in the oil line may contain significant amount of refrigerant flow in during the stoppage.
After the chiller has been shut down, oil pump will be operated until the compressor is totally stopped since the compressor rotates due to the internal force.
The only action that can be taken to prevent lubrication inferiority caused by blazing of the oil is replacing the oil itself.
Thus when it is time for cooling operation, make sure that you do the oil replacing adequately.

Figure 17. P.I.D Operating Control
• Soft loading
- Approach a control goal by soft operation
- Resolved unnecessary emergency stop due to rapid guide vane opening which occur in operating
• Advanced control
- High precision control is realized by applying the far advance algorithm compared with existing PID control methods.
- Prevent temperature Cycling phenomenon due to Over-shoot/Under-shoot when converting from manual to automatic mode.
- Intensive Safety Control
Minimized unnecessary stops for abnormality of the Chiller by implementing preventive control before the Chiller starts to stop for abnormality

4-11. Checklists before inspection
1) Thorough preparation
Check emergency treatment method, cleanness of surroundings, and safety of facilities and machines.
2) Review based on the circuit diagram
When the power system is supplied through other systems, check various power sources, if the 1st breaker is supplying the power or not and installation status of the ground wire.
3) Contact
Check if you can closely and clearly communicate with relevant organizations.
4) Check zero voltage status and safety measures
Review lists shown below for safety when reviewing the main circuit.
a) Make the main circuit zero voltage by opening related breaker and disconnecting switch.
b) Check zero voltage stage with an electroscope and ground at needed spots.
c) Take out circuit breakers to make short a circuit and attach display “inspecting.” d) Adjust disconnecting switches after cutting the power.
e) Especially when the power is supplied with incoming/distributing panel from a consumer, automatic control, or
MCC board, take measures in (c) and (d) above for those switches.
5) Warnings about current and voltage
Implement grounding after discharging the remaining current when inspecting parts of the condenser and cable.
6) Prevention of malfunction
Attach power cut and caution marks.
7) Prepare for protective tools for insulation
Wear protective tools for safety that match the rated voltage such as insulated gloves, safety helmets, insulated tall boots, safety apparel, etc.
8) Measures for invasion of mice and insects
Prepare measures to prevent mice, insects, snakes, etc. from entering the site.
4-12. Checklists after inspection
1) Final check list
- Check if a worker is inside the site.
- Check if demolishment of temporary buildings constructed for inspection is not delayed.
- Check that bolts are tightened properly.
- Check if tools, etc. are left.
- Check if mice and insects, etc. did not invade.
2) Inspection history
Make sure to record main points of inspection and repair, failure status and dates when inspecting to utilize histories as reference for next inspection.
37
!
CAUTION
Set the routine inspection to check loading, operating hours, and operating environment, etc. of the operating machine.
As the inspection period suggested in this manual is routine inspection, establish inspection plans depending on the load of the machine and frequency of use.
Do not conduct insulation resistance tests on second transformers for the controller or control power.
Do not conduct insulation resistance tests on parts (sensors, switches, etc.) connected to the controller, etc.

5.1 User
5.1.1 Basic Setting
This menu for users to set values needed for operation of the Chiller.
Figure 35. Basic Setting
1) Select Control Mode
- Local: This is to start/stop the Chiller by using the start/stop key on the control board of the controller at the site of installation.
- Remote: This is to start/stop the Chiller by using remote start/stop (zero voltage contact signal: switch, relay contact signal) from a remote area (office on site or automatic control board).
- Schedule: This is to start/stop the Chiller automatically according to scheduled programs by setting time and temperature in the controller to start/stop the Chiller.
2) Select Operation Mode
- Standard Chiller: Provides cooling setting.
- Ice Thermal Chiller: Provides cooling/ice manufacturing setting.
- Heat pump Chiller: Provides cooling/heating setting.
3) P.I.D Temperature Control
The optimized control is implemented by minimizing Under-Shoot and Over-Shoot when automatically/manually changing time to approach a goal, steady status error, initial operation and vane operation compared to the previous method by applying unique P (proportion), I (integration) and D (differentiation) algorithms to cold water temperature control.

Figure 36. Previous Control Method Figure 37. LG Control Method
(1) Evaporator exit water temperature
This is menu to set to the P.I.D. control temperature of the cold water outlet when cooling
This is setting temperature is a goal in P.I.D control calculation.
(2) Evaporator Temperature P
Set P value of proportional control sections used for P.I.D control of cold water temperature when cooling.
(3) Leaving Water Temperature of condenser/ice manufacturing
This menu sets control temperature of exit in ice manufacturing mode.
4) Fan inverter control of the cooling tower
This is a control method to supply stable coolant inlet temperature, and this is applied when an inverter is used in a fan motor control of the cooling tower.
Inverter should be selected for main menu/system menu/safety control setting/cooling tower control of the control device.
- Operation is available only when an inverter is attached on the user MCC(Motor Control Center) panel.
This is an option, and this can be applied after a consultation with LG.
- Control output of the cooling tower fan is available to have one of 4~20mA, 0~5Vdc or 0~10Vdc signals from the controller.
(1) Condenser temperature P
Set P, proportional section, of the P.I.D control when using an inverter to control coolant inlet control.
(2) Condenser entering water temperature
Set coolant inlet temperature that is the standard for the inverter control of the cooling tower.
56
5) Motor Current Block
This is to set motor and current control actions to protect the motor from overload.
The current block action is implemented as shown below, and temperature control is not implemented when current block action is under operation.
However, it is implemented in accordance with the P.I.D calculation value when P.I.D calculation value is smaller than the vane opening value while current control action is under operation.
- Current Block Action
For example, if the current block is set to 80% and rated current is 518A, at point (1) when the current is 80% of the rated current as shown in the figure below, vane opening stops, and when the current reaches point (2) that is 105% of the current block setting, the vane is closed until current goes down to point (1).
When the current is lower than the point (1), a normal temperature control starts again.

6) Guide Vane Maximum
This function is to protect the motor from overload or to block a load of the Chiller artificially.
This blocks the guide vane from opening bigger than the setting.
7) Hot Gas (Vane %)
This is an item to set when applying a hot gas bypass valve.
Action to open a hot gas bypass valve is implemented when opening reaches the setting when closing the vane after reading feedback signals for controlling the opening of the guide vane.
If this value is set to 30%, the hot gas bypass vale opens from the point when opening of the main guide vane reaches 30%, and when opening of the guide vane becomes 0%, the hot gas bypass valve opens to 100% (hot gas maximum setting).
8) Hot Gas Maximum
This is an item to set when applying the hot gas bypass valve.
This item is to set the maximum value of opening of the hot gas bypass valve and blocks the valve from opening larger than the setting.
If this value is set to 50%, the hot gas bypass valve does not open larger than that value.
9) Hot Gas Minimum
This is an item to set when applying the hot gas bypass valve.
The item is to set the minimum value of opening of the hot gas bypass valve and blocks the valve from closing smaller than the setting.
If this value is set to 5%, the hot gas bypass valve does not close smaller than that value.

Selecting a location
• If the chiller has to be installed near heat generating devices, keep distances more than 5 meters from boilers and hot-air blowers, and more than 2 meters from other heat generating devices.
• Choose a well-ventilated place and avoid place with high temperature.
• Choose a place with less humid.
• Provide ample space for service (for control and maintenance of pipes and tubes)
Foundation
• Build the foundation to withstand the concentrated heavy weight of the chiller.
• The foundation should be higher than the surface of the water, and install the drainage around.
• Be sure to install the drain pipe to the drainage hole.
Receipt and Installation
• The chiller should be installed evenly leveled to the ground.
• Install the chiller on a foundation with flat support surfaces, level within ±1mm with the manufacturer-supplied isolation pad assemblies under the unit.
• Make sure the foundation surface is flat and leveled within ±1mm using a level, and if not, readjust it within: ±1mm, using spacers.

Vacuum Dry & Vacuum Test
• The vacuum dry work has to be taken to eliminate the humidity when the machine is exposed to the atmospheric air for a long time or it is indicated that the moisture got into the machine or complete pressure loss of refrigerant happened due to refrigerant leak.
!
WARNING
Do not operated the compressor motor or the oil pump motor, and do not take any insulation resistance test when performing the vacuum dry work.
Even instant rotation for rotation check-up can damage the electrical insulation and cause huge damage.
• Generally the vacuum dry work is performed at a room temperature. The higher the room temperature is, the faster the vacuum dry performance will be done. Stronger vacuum quality is required to evaporate the moist in the environment of lower room temperature. The vacuum dry working procedure is as follows.
1) Connect the high capacity vacuum pump (Approximately above 120 LPM) to the refrigerant charge valve.
The length of the pipe from the pump to the machine should be as short as possible and the diameter of the pipe as big as possible for minimum gas flow resistance.
2) To measure the vacuum, if the pressure gauge is installed or pressure value from MICOM is available, the pressure gauge may be used.
3) When vacuuming work, open all the valves except the valves connected to external.
4) Allow approximately 2 hours of additional vacuum pump operation, if the surrounding temperature of the machine is above 15.6 °C, and while the vacuum pump is operated if the manometer is indicating 756mmHg.
If the internal pressure of the chiller is kept below 756 mmHg, the accumulated moist in the machine would be frozen and then this ice is evaporated more slowly than in normal condition, which leads to a delay of the vacuum dry work. If there is hot water at this situation, let the evaporator and the condenser be flowed by the hot water and then operate the vacuum pump.
5) Fasten the vacuum pump valve and stop the pump, and then record the vacuum gauge value.
When reading the degree of the vacuum while the surrounding temperature varies, it has to be compensated by converting the temperature change into pressure using below equation.
△P + (760 + H)x t 2
273+ t
2
t 1
273+ t
1 mmHg
H: Internal pressure before the inspection (mmHg) t1: Surrounding temp. before the inspection (°C) t2: Surrounding temp. after the inspection (°C)
Table 51. HFC-134a Temperature / Pressure
6) The vacuum dry work is terminated if there is no change in the vacuum gauge value after waiting for 4 hours.
The machine is well air-tight if the leak rate is below 0.1 mmHg/h(=0.1 Torr/h). If the vacuum gauge value rose up, repeat step 4) and 5).
7) If the value still changes after several time of vacuum dry work, set the inner machine pressure above
9~9.5kg/cm
2
.G and perform the leak inspection. After fixing the part where it is leaking, redo the vacuum dry work.
99
Oil charge
1) Generally the chiller is charged with the oil in the compressor when shipping from the manufacturer, but if not, follow the steps as described below.
2) Charge the oil through the charging valve located at the bottom of the oil tank. At this time, make the inner part of the machine vacuum using a vacuum pump. (If the refrigerant charging is proceeded, the charged refrigerant will evaporate and eventually the pressure will rise. Thus, do the oil charging first.) If the inner machine pressure is high, use the pump from the tank for the charging. In this case, the Discharging pressure of the pump shall be more than 14 kg/cm
2
.G when the suction pressure is 0kg/cm
2
.G. The oil charging or removal, however, must be done at the condition that the chiller is totally stopped.
3) The oil level must be charged more than 2/3 of the sight glass. Also if only the oil pressure and the temperature are within the designated range, oil foaming may be happening.
4) Be cautious not to let any air enter into during oil charging.
Refrigerant charge
!
CAUTION
When the refrigerant charging or discharging is performed on a machine that uses springs for isolation at the bottom, fix the springs not to move up and down. The spring moving may stress the connected pipe line.
1) The chiller is charged with nitrogen gas when leaving from the factory. Remove the nitrogen gas at the job-site before doing the refrigerant charging.
2) Operate the chilled and cooling water pump to prevent freezing when performing the refrigerant charging.
3) It is the most preferable to adjust the refrigerant charge amount when the Chiller is operated under the design load. Adjust the amount of refrigerant by the difference between chilled water outlet temperature and evaporation temperature and through the sight glass.
Insulation resistance test
1) Mega test is to apply the direct voltage to the insulation material to obtain insulation resistance by measuring the leaking current through the material.
Insulation resistance =
For 3000 and 6000V class: use mega for 1000V.
For 380 and 440V class: use mega for 500V.
Leak Current
Applied Voltage
2) Keep away any unnecessary personnel during the test for it is using high voltage.
3) Cut all the exterior power that is supplied to the chiller before performing the test. The 3-phase motor that is for above 500hp, can cause danger due to the electric charge when the inspection was performed. Thus, completely discharge it after the inspection and then handle the ground terminal.
5) Do not perform the high voltage mega test in vacuum condition.
6) Electrical insulation resistance drops in accordance with the temperature increases, and is sensitive to the temperature change which means that it varies. The changed temperature can be written in temperature coefficient and the temperature coefficient and applied equation is as follows.

7) Other factors that influence the insulation resistance
<Pollution of the outer surface of the insulation body> If absorptive and deliquescent materials like acid, chloride and etc are adhered on the surface of the insulation body, they influence the insulation resistance. Remove the foreign substances before the inspection. <Condensing Point> If the insulation body temperature is below the surrounding temperature's dew point, moisture condensation can be preset on the insulation body surface (especially at the crack and the groove) and influence the insulation resistance. The inspection should be taken into action when the insulation body temperature is above the surrounding temperature's dew point. Record the dry bulb and the wet bulb temperature surrounding air. <Absolute Humidity> Even through the insulation body temperature is above the dew point, the atmospheric vapor influences insulation resistance. Avoid conduction test at the place where the absolute humidity is high present.
8) Apply an electric current for a minute to the spot to be measured up insulation resistance. Read and record the value. Apply the inspection standard when the insulation body temperature is 20 °C. (When measured at a different temperature, use the temperature coefficient and convert the value indicated after a minute.)
9) Taking measures according to insulated condition.

6-3. Start-up
• After the preparation is done for start-up, proceed as follows.
Preparation for start-up
Power On
Check oil temp.
in the oil tank
Check the vane
Oil pump operation
1) Input power to the control panel and the starter panel, and check the status.
2) Input power to the oil heater 1~2 hours prior to the main operation and make sure that the temperature of the oil inside the tank is 30~65°C.
3) After checking the vane opening as 0%, set the vane's operation to "Auto". The vane is to maintain 0% on any condition of "Auto", "Open", "Stop", "Closed" when the chiller stops.
4) Set the oil pump condition of the control panel to
"Auto".
5) Activate the chilled water pump. When operating, close the outlet valve, open the air ventilation valve and then open the outlet valve to a small carefully to avoid water hammering so that necessary amount of flow passes through. If water keeps coming out after the air discharged through the air outlet, close the air valve.
6) Activate the cooling water pump. Caution required just as step 5).
7) Check the control panel display if it is working properly. Check if the display is showing local operation mode and chiller's possible operation condition.

, the compressor motor will be operated.
2) Direction of the compressor motor's rotation.
3) Starting characteristic
At this time, 2 items check-up is needed simultaneously. Make sure 2 people are working together.
- Direction of the motor's rotation
Record the rotating direction at the counter load part of the motor. If the direction is opposite, stop the chiller and change the two among three phases.
- Starting Characteristic
Check the starting current, acceleration completion time as on the "Check List".
4) Check the Operating Current
5) Motor Cooling Status
- Operating Current
After the start-up is done, the vane will be opened gradually and the current increases simultaneously.
Operation current should not exceed the rated current.
If exceeds, set it referring to the “capacity control module.”
- Motor Cooling Status
Periodic physical check-up of the motor surface temperature is required while operation.
- Checking the oil tank and the bearing temperature
Check if the oil tank and the bearing temperature is preserved at 40~65°C. If not refer to "Trouble Shooting" and "Check List".
6) Checking all sorts of pressure status
7) Checking the operating sound and vibration

• Load Operation and the Operational Setup
After the Start and the Stoppage operation, perform the Load Operation as follows.
In any cases, let do not exceed the electromotor rated current.
As mentioned already at the "Product Protection Function", it would not be able to be overloaded due to the set of the motor current limiting function, but please double check.
Set the temperature control function according to the load.
Set the user's setting function as mentioned already in the "Product Protection Function".
When performing automatic operation
Set the vane operation mode to auto
1) In case of load increasing
To preserve the chilled water outlet temperature, the guide vane is opened up to the electromotor rated current.
2) When the load is parallel with present performance of the chiller
The guide vane is stopped at a certain degree of opening.
3) In case of load decreasing
- In opposition to 1), to preserve the chilled water temperature the guide vane is close.
- When the load is continuously decreased, the chilled water outlet temperature will be decreased and the chiller will be stopped by the function of "Chiller operation/stoppage". If the chilled water outlet temperature increases to the level of setup temperature, it will be operated automatically.
- The oil pump will perform additional operation even after the chiller's shut down.
The purpose of this action is to preserve the oil pressure (for inertia operation of about 1 min. after the chiller shut down) and to protect the electromotor from frequent start and stoppage.
6-4. Startup procedure after long-period of stoppage
When letting the chiller to be still for a long period of stoppage, the refrigerant must be transferred to a separate refrigerant pot to prevent machine pressure decrease and leak.
Charge approximately 5kg of refrigerant into the machine to prevent air-entrance.
If the installed area of the chiller is frequently a place of below zero, drain the chilled water, cooling water and the condensing water to prevent freezing. Also waterbox drain must be opened.
Leave the oil in the machine and supply heater power to maintain minimum oil tank temperature.
105
Before operating the centrifugal chiller after long-period of stoppage (longer than 1 month) or instant stoppage (less than a month), follow the next steps.
1. The machine should be checked for unstable part or for abnormality for smooth operation.
2. To prevent refrigerant loss due to leak during the stoppage, following steps must be taken.
1) Compressor (simple inspection over the rotating part)
* Simply check from the appearance of the impeller, bearing and rotating part.
◇ Combination status of the impeller and the shaft
◇ Assemble condition of the Gear
◇ Foreign substance in the gear box
◇ End play of the impeller shaft
◇ Assemble condition of the guide vane
◇ Check the vane and the drive shaft
◇ Check the gap between the impeller and the cover with a thickness gauge
2) Lubrication system
◇ Loosen and crack of the oil pipe
◇ Replacing or clearing the oil filter
◇ Cleaning the oil tank
◇ Replacing the oil
3) Refrigeration System
◇ Check the refrigerant pollution possibility
◇ Clean the ejector
◇ Clean the tube
◇ Water quality analysis
◇ Exchange or clean filter related parts
4) Condenser, Evaporator Preservation (Corrosion countermeasures while stoppage)
During a long term period stoppage, follow the next steps for the corrosion countermeasures due to condenser and evaporator tube corrosion.
- Each tube should be brushed and the scales must be removed completely. Fill it in with clean water. Finally preserve it with rustic proof material in it.
- In principle preserve the chiller without water after complete drain.
- Execute all regular maintenance check-up and the inspection for the operation system with care. Controlling test should be taken before the main operation.
If the compressor oil indicates an abnormal high-level display, there are possibilities that the oil absorbed the refrigerant.
3. Start the machine in accordance with “Start-up” after checking the 1~2 items.
106
6-5. System Shutdown
• When stopping the product, perform it in the following order.
Press the Stop button
Compressor stop
Oil pump stop
1) The vane is automatically closed when the stop button on the control panel is pressed.
2) Check the compressor motor stoppage time
- Measure the delay time to the compressor's mechanical stop after the chiller's shutdown; the delay time due to motor's inertia moment.
3) Check the oil pump remaining operation
- Check if the oil pump is operating till a resolved time after the chiller's shut down.
4) Checklist after stoppage
- Stop the cooling water pump.
In this case, close the outlet valve of the pump gradually and then stop the cooling water pump.
- Stop the chilled water pump.
Close the outlet valve of the pump gradually and then stop the chilled water pump.
- Record the oil and the refrigerant level after stop.
Stopping completed

7. MAINTENANCE
7-1. Maintenance criteria
Maintenance and overhaul inspection (repairs)
• Usage Deterioration of Machine
Although there may not be any malfunction or structural deformation of the machine, it generally can be worn or aged after a long time usage. Though a centrifugal chiller which has been operated for a long time is operating, the motor can be declined and abrasion of the rotating section due to the secondary creation caused by oil burning, carbonization and etc. In many cases, such symptoms can normally be detected externally by the vibration and abnormal sounds that are present. In these cases, it is very important to take preventive action prior to the occurrence of accident and maintain a proper working condition for the sake of the machine's longer life.
• Examination and thorough overhaul (Repair)
The trouble ratio of a machine is normally distributed as the following Fig.
Period for Overhaul(repair)
Initial trouble
Stable
Trouble by
Abrasion
Hour
Figure 86. Machine failure rate
<Period of Initial Failure> occurs at the beginning stage of the machine’s operation due to the manufacturing matter from the factory itself.
Then it enters the <Period of Stabilization> that is followed by the <Period of Abrasion> after a certain period of time.
If it enters to the <Period of Abrasion> region, possibility of the machine's failure is going to rise up. Thus, it is very essential to take thorough overhaul (repairing) action will prevent accidents and allow an optimum maintenance.
We recommend on the basis of a long term experience and statistical data that you take the thorough overhaul (repairing) action at the following period.
1) Chiller for commercial cooling : Every 5 years
2) If is an industrial process machine that is working throughout the whole year and requires a high reliance: Annually
• Criteria for Overhaul
Accidents may take place if there are irresistible abrasion and deformation that leap over the assigned limit of the machine’s individual parts.
For instance, if the bearing wears out, the destroyed oil film will cause the metallic contact to happen, which will lead to a high possibility of the bearing burning out.
The impeller itself might be able to have a contact with other parts and be destroyed. If the central distance of the velocity increasing gear leaps over a certain number, teeth of gear could also be destroyed.
Thus LG Electronics sets up (1) Utilization Limit (2) Exchanging Standards and based on these criteria, "Thorough
Overhaul Procedure" was made to maintain the chiller under proper operating condition till next overhaul period, and according to this standard, composing parts can be inspected and replaced.

When evaporation pressure is decreased, the evaporator tube freezes and eventually damaged, or compressor surge would also be possible. Causes of the decreased evaporating pressure would be insufficient refrigerant quantity, low temperature water and abnormal heat exchanging efficiency. Like the condenser tubes, if foreign substances are in or the scales adhered, corrosion may occur which will lead to a in efficient heat exchanging. This happens to decrease the refrigeration ability or may be the cause for surge.

.
The oil pump is sending the oil to the oil filter, where a valve is installed so that there is no need to drain the whole system when replacing the filter.
Afterwards the oil is sent to the oil cooler and then cooled by the refrigerant from the condenser.
The refrigerant cools off the oil as low as 30~60°C.
Oil that left the cooler passes through the oil pressure transducer and then to the refrigerant expanding valve’s temperature sensor box, flows to the bearings and gears for lubrication.
The oil temperature is measured at the high-speed thrust bearing and the oil is drained to the oil tank that is located at the lower part of the compressor.
The control device operates the oil to the oil pump prior to the main operation for 120~180 seconds at a constant pressure. At stoppage when the main operation has stopped, it performs a 300 seconds of after lubrication.
Soft start-up opens guide vane slowly during the start-up to prevent foaming of the oil.
If the guide vane opens too quickly, it will let the refrigerant in the oil to be boiled because of the intake pressure's rapid decrease, which will eventually cause foaming. This foaming will lead to dropping the pressure in oil pump, and the low pressure of oil lead finally bad lubrication.

<Water quality analysis>
The cooling water at the open circulation type cooling tower uses the evaporation latent heat to lower down the water temperature and also recycles it.
At this time the water evaporates and the chloride ions in the water and the acid ions will increase. This will lead to enrichment situation and eventually deteriorate the water quality.
Also, in the cooling tower, water and air are always in contact with each other and the contaminating material(automobile exhaust gas, sulfurous acid gas, dust, gas of chemical plants such as ammonia or petroleum gas, etc.) deteriorates the water quality even more.
These pollutant causes can corrode the pipe, scales adhered causes the tubes to have holes and lockouts which are leading to a decreasing effect of heat exchanger.
Therefore, it may end to replacing the tubes, increased power cost, or the chiller failure.
Thus, cooling water quality must be maintained at a certain level.
Water quality analysis should be taken place periodically and if the results are out of the standards boundary(Table
23.), it must be replaced. At the beginning of the season and at the initial starting of the machine, water quality analysis is inevitable.
To prevent the cooling water enrichment, certain amount of cooling water should be drained during the circulation and then supplying fresh cooling water. Another way of water quality analysis would be using chemical handling.
<Tubes State>
If water corroded dirt is adhered or foreign substances are mixed in the tubes, resistance is increased which makes it hard for the chiller to have a good efficiency. It also makes it easy to cause surge.
If sandy like solid materials are mixed in the cooling water, erosion or corrosion may occur at the entrance of the tubes, therefore when cleaning the tubes make sure that you check the inner surface of it.
Install a filter at the inlet of the cooling water pipe. Generally, a cooling tower is used for the cooling water system, but when using the subterranean water or the riparian water it is possible for the scales to be adhered easily due to low quality of water compared to the chilled water.

Compressor oil replacement
- Checking the Lubrication System
Record the level of the oil on the oil tank sight glass in operation, and check the level when the chiller is stopped. If the level has dropped below the lower part sight glass, it is necessary to check whether the oil recovery system is working properly. If oil is needed, add it through the oil charging valve. To charge the oil opposite from the refrigerant pressure, a pump is needed. The charging quantity of the oil should be referred to LG Electronics and the specification of the additional oil should match with that of LG Electronic’s chiller oil. Added oil shall be recorded for its amount and date.

• Oil replacement
We recommend you to replace the oil on the first year of the chiller's operation and every 3-year period depending on the oil analysis.
1) Mark the current oil level.
2) Open the control circuit breaker and oil heater circuit breaker.
3) Gradually open the oil charging valve to drain the oil. Opposite from the chiller pressure, open the valve very slowly.
4) After locking the valves at both ends of the oil filter, use the valve to gradually reduce the pressure within the oil filter, and change the oil filter.
5) Charge oil to the machine using a pump.
To be charged till the level of middle or higher at the sight glass, approximately 50~60 ℓ of oil is needed. Heat until the oil temperature reaches 40°C by turning on the oil heater. For the sake of controlling test, operate the oil pump manually for 2 minutes. The level of the oil should be indicating at the sight glass.
122
Oil Filter Change
- Oil Filter Change
Replace the oil filter annually or in the time of overhaul.
Oil filter can be replaced in a condition that the refrigerant is in the chiller.
1) Check if the compressor is in the stop state and also if the compressor circuit breaker is opened.
2) Shut down the oil pump power.
3) Close the oil filter separator valves.
4) When opening the oil filter housing, do it slowly.
!
CAUTION
Decrease the pressure of the oil filter housing very slowly because it is in a high temperature state.
5) Make vacuum in the filter housing after the filter exchange or assembling. After the vacuum has been done, open the separation valve and if there is insufficient amount of oil, add oil through the charging valve.
123
7-6. General Maintenance
Non-periodical maintenance
• Maintenance of the compressor bearing and the gear
The core of maintaining bearing and the gear can be said adequate lubrication. Preserve the recommended oil amount, temperature and pressure by using the right level of oil. Do a thorough maintenance check-up on the lubrication system periodically. To inspect the bearing, the compressor must be completely disassembled.
To take out the bearing and to inspect it, a high technology specialist is needed. Excessive abrasion can occasionally be detected by excessive vibration or by the bearing's temperature.
• Refrigerant leak inspection
HFC-134a has higher pressure than air in room temperature, so it requires the refrigerant leak test utilizing electronic detector, halogen leak detector or soapy water.
If the refrigerant leak is overall the entire chiller with large volume, immediately stop using the system and fix it first. If the refrigerant was lost or the machine has been opened during the service period, the chiller itself or related tank must be taken leak test by adding pressure.
Refer to 5-5-2 for leak inspection.
Charging refrigerant and leakage test
- Refrigerant characteristics
Usage refrigerant is HFC-134a.
HFC-134a evaporates at -26°C in normal air pressure, so it shall be stored in a pressured container or storage tank.
Refrigerant has almost no smell when it is mixed with air, and it is non-combustible in air pressure.
!
CAUTION
The refrigerant HFC-134a dissolves oil and some non-metallic material, dries skin, and makes oxygen deficiency resulting in suffocation at high concentration. Thus be very careful not to inhale or touch by hand or eye contact when you handle the refrigerant.

- The adjustment of refrigerant charging amount
If it is necessary to control the refrigerant charging amount for a better performance of the machine itself, operate the machine in a design load and add or remove the refrigerant until it satisfies the difference temperature of the chilled water outlet and the evaporator refrigerant.
Do not over charge. Refrigerant can be charged through the storage tank or directly charged into the chiller.
- Refrigerant leak inspection
HFC-134a has higher pressure than air in room temperature, so it requires the refrigerant leak test utilizing electronic detector, halogen leak detector or soapy water. Check for a good room ventilation and check whether the leaked refrigerant is concentrated in one place of the room to prevent a wrong measurement result.
Before performing any repair for leak, move all refrigerant from the leaked container.
- Refrigerant leakage
If there is large refrigerant leak, chiller performance degraded or operation impossible, it is recommended to stop the chiller and repair first.
- Refrigerant filter
Refrigerant filter /drier in the refrigerant cooling pipes of the motor needs to be replaced once a year. It may require more frequent replacement according to the status of the filter. To find the existence of moisture in the refrigerant, sight glass is installed next to the filter. If moisture through the sight glass is detected, perform a thorough leak inspection to find the source of the water.
Cleaning Heat exchanger tubes (Evaporator/Condenser)
Inspect Heat exchanger tubes
- Evaporator
When the first operation season is over, clean the evaporator tubes.
These tubes have foreign substances inside. Thus to clean the tubes thoroughly, a special caution should be exercised. The tubes condition, at this time, will become the data to determine how often tubes needs to be cleaned and whether the water treatment in the chilled water(brine) system is appropriate. Check for any corrosion or scale in the chilled water inlet/outlet temperature sensor. For corrosion, replace the sensor, and for scale, remove the scale.
- Condenser
Cooling water circuit is generally an open type system, so it is easy to have the tubes contaminated and scale to be adhered. Therefore, the tubes in condenser need to be cleaned at least once a year. If the water quality is contaminated, clean more frequently. Check the corrosion or scale in the cooling water inlet/outlet temperature sensor. For corrosion, replace the sensor, and For scale, remove the scale.
The reason that it is higher than the normal condenser pressure and not reaching previous chilling load is generally because tubes are contaminated or there is an air in the machine.
If the temperature difference between cooling water outlet and condenser refrigerant is great, the condenser tubes may be contaminated or water flow is not good.
HFC-134a is a high pressure refrigerant, so it is easier to have refrigerant leak than air enters inside.
During the cleaning of the tube, use a specially designed brush to prevent scratch on the tubes wall.
Never use wire brush.
!
CAUTION
For the prevention of severe scales and the removal of the scales, treat with chemical. For a proper treatment, consult with water treatment specialist.

Vane sensor
Release vane sensor connection from the relay board. After converting the tester to the resistance measurement mode, measure resistance between a and b, and there shall be a certain resistance. And after converting the vane to manual operation, when the vane is moved, there shall be vane sensor movement and change in resistance value.
Even if the vane sensor is moving but there is no change of resistance value, wiring is wrong or vane sensor is damaged. While vane is completely closed, and opened completely, if the resistance between a and b increases uniformly and resistance between b and c of the vane sensor decreases uniformly, vane sensor is OK. Also measure resistance between a, b, c, and main body, and it shall not be angle line.
If the vane sensor is normal, re-connect the sensor, completely close the vane, and check if vane value is 0% and
100% after completely opening. If the value changes and vane opening % is wrong, sensor needs to be set again.
If there is no change of value, check if 100% is set in ‘sensor setting-guide vane setting” category, and check if A/D value sensor value changes when vane moves. If sensor value changes, set vane again.
If sensor value does not change, convert tester to DC voltage 30V measuring position, and when voltage is measured with + at the point where vane sensor “a” is connected and – at the point where vane sensor c is connected, DC 5V must be measured.
If the voltage is not correct, check relay board main input power.
If relay main power is normal, vane sensor is normal, and sensor value does not change, then replace relay board.

Digital input signal is not checked by the controller.
If the no voltage contact signal is properly input to the digital input of the controller but controller finds it as abnormal or if there is no change of all digital input signals, it is because of the defective connection of I/O board power connector or no communication between I/O board and main board.
Check communication line connection status between I/O board and main board, and it there is no problem, short-circuit the connector of the wiring among the controller digital inputs that does not work to COM connector (23, 24) of controller I/O board to check whether LED LAMP corresponding to the I/O board input connector is lighted.
Select “menu key” – “system information” – “I/O input” of the controller display, short-circuit/open abnormal connectors and COM connector to see if input status changes to “ON”/”OFF”.
When DC voltage between COM connector of the controller digital input and the wire released digital input, check if
18V is measured.
If there is no problem, connect them again and check operation.
If the corresponding board main power and communication is normal and I/O input still does not work the board needs to be replaced.
Check by referring to the below flow chart and tester connection diagram.

Communication error
It is the error caused by no communication corresponding to the displayed message is made between each board.
First, check communication line connection status between each board. At this time, 2 RDX+ and RDX- lines of master board shall be connected to the same polarity of RDX+ and RDX- of slave board and relay board, and 2 RDX+ and
RDX- of master board shall be connected to the same polarity. If it is not properly connected to the corresponding communication connector, communication cannot be made, so it must be connected to the designated connector.
