SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 19 of 86 3 Installation 3 - 1 Installation Location Considerations As with all equipment installations, follow all applicable codes and regulations. þ Locate close to the process to reduce piping expense. þ Locate adjacent to drain and city wat er sources.
Page 20 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations ! DANGER Improper electrical connections can damage the unit and cau se serious operator injury or death! Bring properly sized power leads and ground from a fused disconnect (installed by your electrician) to the unit.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 21 of 86 Note: • Never switch contactor leads or motor leads for reversing rotation. • Do not use contactor or motor leads for phase matching. • Compressor noise from reverse rotation is noticeable. Do not run in this mode for more than ten (10) seconds.
Page 22 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations To Process The chilled water supply outlet leading to the process being controlled. From Process The ch illed water return for water returning back to the chiller from the process to be cooled and recirculated.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 23 of 86 3 - 6 Water Connection Sizing Considerations Important! • Run all externa l chilled water connections with adequate size to the process. • Provide the largest possible openings and passages for the flow of chilled water through platens, dies, molds, or other pieces of equipment.
Page 24 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations Two connections are made to each SSC Series unit: Condenser Water In The city or tower water supply inlet is located at the side or rear of the chiller. • Water pressure ≥ 25 psi ( ≥ 172.4 kPa/ ≥ 1.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 25 of 86 SSC Series condensing pressure with 95ºF (35ºC) condenser air R - 22 = 260 psi (1,793 kPa/17.93 bars) Note: Due to the variables involved in remote air - cooled condenser installations, no set or standard piping procedure exists.
Page 26 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations - Notes -.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 27 of 86 4 Sequence Of Operation 4 - 1 Staging 1. The system uses a PID control algorithm to regulate the chilled water temperature. As the required control effort increases or decreases, the system compressors are turned on or off to keep the temperature at the specified set - point 2.
Page 28 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations 4 - 5 Chilled Water Circuit If your central chilling station is equipped with the optional integral pump tank, make the process cooling water supply connection at the P1 manifold at the left side of the pump tank at the exposed connection.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 29 of 86 If you want lower chilled water temperatures, you’ll need to mix process water with industrial - (not automotive) grade ethylen e or propylene glycol with rust inhibitor to provide protection down to 20°F (12ºC) below the operating temperature you want.
Page 30 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations 4 - 8 High Pressure Cutout This electro - mechanical safety feature opens the control cir cuit if the system condensing pressure exceeds a safe level.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 31 of 86 4 - 11 Control Nipple All SSC Series chilling station evaporators have two control nipples. The flow switch, freezestat, and flush port are locat ed in the control nipple.

SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 33 of 86 5 Startup Checklists 5 - 1 Introduction Important! These lists assume the installation information in this manual has been read and followed. Have new chillers started up and checked by a qualified refrigeration service technician.
Page 34 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations þ Complete all piping leading to and from the pump tank. Observe all applicable codes. þ Complete all electrical wiring. Observe all applicable codes. þ Prepare all related equipment in the system for operation.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 35 of 86 þ Check the water level in the pump tank to be sure the pump does not run dry while the system piping is being filled. þ Check your work and proceed to the Startup procedure. 5 - 3 Water - Cooled SSC Series Startup 1.
Page 36 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations þ Electrical connections must conform to all applicable code s. þ Complete the chilled water TO and FROM PROCESS connections. þ The optional or field installed chilled water supply and return valves must be open.
SSC Series Central Chilling Stations Page 37 of 86 þ Check for proper pump rotation direction. To confirm proper rotation : 1. Observe a pump pressure gauge connected to the suction and discharge sides of the pump casing through two ¼” (approx. 6.
Page 38 of 86 SSC S eries Central Chilling Stations Note: If the recirculation pump does not turn on (or that the flow switch is not satisfied) the compressors will not be allowed to turn on. 6. Check the pump(s) amp draws and pressures. The amp draws must be within the pump(s) running load and service factor amps.
