Features/Benefits
Quality design and
construction make the
AquaForce 30XW chillers an
excellent choice for modern,
efficient chilled water plants.
Small footprint
The 30XW chillers feature a compact
footprint and are delivered as a single
complete package less than 48 in.
(1219 mm) wide for easy installation
and minimal indoor space. The 30XW
chiller footprints may be up to 30%
smaller when compared to other chill-
ers and may require less mechanical
room floor space and smaller concrete
pads.

of the system. The AquaForce® 30XW Electronic thermal-dispersion flow
Carrier's exclusive handheld Naviga-
tor display provides convenience and
powerful information in the palm of
your hand. The Navigator display helps
technicians to quickly diagnose prob-
lems and even prevent them from
occurring.
chiller's positive pressure design
ensures that air, moisture and other
performance degrading contaminants
are not sucked inside the chiller. Purge
units and their associated maintenance
are no longer necessary.
switch
An electronic thermal-dispersion flow
switch switch is included with the evap-
orator. The switch is factory installed
and tested and contains no moving
parts for high reliability.
All 30XW units are ready to be used
with Carrier Comfort Network® (CCN)
devices.
Controls features include:
Automatic capacity override
This function unloads the compressor
whenever key safety limits are
approached, increasing unit life.
High performance tubing
Refrigerant isolation valves
The refrigerant isolation valves enable
service personnel to store the refriger-
ant charge in the evaporator or con-
denser during servicing. These valves
also allow the refrigerant to be stored
inside the chiller during shipment from
the factory minimizing start-up time.
During servicing, the in-chiller storage
reduces refrigerant loss and eliminates
time-consuming transfer procedures.
As a self-contained unit, the AquaForce
30XW chiller does not require addi-
tional remote storage systems.
Carrier's AquaForce chillers utilize
advances in heat transfer technology
providing compact, high-efficiency
heat exchangers. Tubing with
advanced internally and externally
enhanced geometry improves chiller
performance by reducing overall resis-
tance to heat transfer while reducing
fouling.
Chilled liquid reset
Reset can be accomplished manually or
automatically from the building man-
agement system. For a given capacity,
reset allows operation at slower com-
pressor speeds, saving energy when
warmer chilled liquid can be used.
Evaporator tube expansion
Evaporator tube expansion at center
support sheets prevents unwanted tube
movement and vibration, thereby
reducing the possibility of premature
tube failure. Tube wall thickness is
greater at the expansion location, sup-
port sheets, and end tube sheets, to
provide maximum strength and long
tube life.
Closely spaced intermediate sup-
port sheets
Support sheets prevent tube sagging
and vibration, thereby increasing heat
exchanger life.
Optional suction service valves
The optional suction service valves
allow for further isolation of the com-
pressor from the evaporator vessel.
Demand limiting
This feature limits the power draw of
the chiller during peak loading condi-
tions. When incorporated into the
CCN building automation system, a red
line command holds chillers at their
present capacity and prevents any
other chillers from starting. If a load
shed signal is received, the compres-
sors are unloaded to avoid demand
charges whenever possible.
Marine container shipment
The compact design allows for con-
tainer shipment to export destinations,
ensuring quality while reducing ship-
ping cost.
Heat exchangers
Refrigerant filter isolation valves
The Aquaforce 30XW chillers utilize
mechanically cleanable shell and tube
evaporators and condensers available
with a complete line of waterbox
options to meet project specific
requirements. One, two, and three
pass arrangements are available to
meet a wide variety of flow conditions.
Nozzle in head and marine waterboxes
are available to meet 150 psig
These valves allow filter replacement
without pumping down the chiller,
reducing service time and expense.
Ramp loading
Ramp loading ensures smooth pull-
down of liquid loop temperature and
prevents a rapid increase in compres-
sor power consumption during the
pulldown period.
Automated controls test
The test can be executed prior to start-
Microprocessor controls
The AquaForce 30XW screw chiller
controls communicate in easy to under-
stand English, making it as easy as pos-
sible to monitor and control each
(1034 kPa) and 300 psig (2068 kPa)
piping requirements.
Heat exchanger features include:
chiller while maintaining fluid tempera- up to verify that the entire control sys-
tures. Controls are available with
French, Portuguese and Spanish as
standard configuration options. These
controls result in higher chiller reliabil-
ity, simplified training and correspond-
ingly lower operational and
tem is functioning properly.
365-day real time clock
This feature allows the operator to pro-
gram a yearly schedule for each week,
weekends, and holidays.
ASME certified construction
An independent agency certifies the
design, manufacture, and testing of all
heat exchangers to American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) stan-
dards, ensuring heat exchanger safety,
reliability and long life. The ASME
U-stamp is applied to the refrigerant
side of the evaporator and condenser
and is applied to the water side of these
heat exchangers when 300 psig
(2068 kPa) marine waterboxes are
provided.
Occupancy schedules
maintenance costs.
Schedules can be programmed into the
controller to ensure that the chiller
operates when cooling is required and
remains off when not needed by the
tenants or process.
Two user interface options are avail-
able, the Touch Pilot™ display and the
Navigator™ module.
The Touch Pilot display is an easy to
use touch screen display that provides
simple navigation for configuration and
control of the 30XW units.

One-pass evaporator provides a lower pressure drop
through the evaporator for applications with low delta T
(temperature) or high flow or where the evaporators are
piped in a series or side stream arrangement. One-pass
evaporator is only available with flanged connections and
with discharge end leaving water connection.
Three-pass evaporator provides a greater efficiency for
brine applications and in applications with a high delta T
and low flow. Three-pass evaporator is only available with
flanged connections.
Heat machine condenser allows operation with up to
140 F (60 C) leaving condenser water temperature (see
E-CAT for selections). In addition, this option provides
factory-installed thermal insulation on the condenser,
condenser flow switch and leaving condenser water

temperature sensor to facilitate operating in HEAT mode.
Heat machine units require 300 psig (2068 kPa) option
and field-installed thermal insulation on the compressor
discharge piping and waterbox heads because of high
temperature.
One-pass condenser provides a lower pressure drop
through the condenser for applications with low delta T
(temperature) or high flow or where the condensers are
piped in a series. The one-pass condenser option is only
available with flanged connections and with a discharge
end leaving water connection.
Wye-delta start is an alternate starting method which
reduces the inrush current when starting the compressor.
Wye delta start is standard on 208-v, and 230-v units,
optional for 380-v, 460-v, and 575-v.
Dual point power provides a means for connecting two
sources of power to dual compressor 30XW chillers. One
source of power is wired to operate the compressor on the
A circuit and one source of power is wired to operate the
compressor on the B circuit of the chiller.
Non-fused disconnect provides a no load, lockable,
through the door handle disconnect for unit power on the
chiller. On dual point power, one disconnect is provided for
each of the two main power supplies. This disconnect does
not remove the control circuit from power supply.
Control transformer is sized to supply the needs of the
control circuit from the main power supply.
115-v GFCI convenience outlet includes 4 amp GFI
(ground fault interrupt) receptacle. Convenience outlet is
115-v female receptacle. Not available with 380-v units.
Nitrogen charge provides a 15 lb (6.8 kg) charge of
nitrogen instead of a full factory charge of R-134a refrig-
erant to keep the chiller refrigerant circuit dry during ship-
ment. This option is recommended for applications where
the unit will be disassembled prior to installation. Units
shipped with a nitrogen charge will receive an electrical
continuity test at the factory prior to shipment.
Crate for shipment provides a wooden crate around the
chiller. The chiller is bagged prior to being placed in the
crate. This option is recommended for export orders.
Suction service valves allow for further isolation of the
compressor from the evaporator vessel.

Selection procedure
Carrier’s packaged selection program provides quick,
easy selection of Carrier’s water-cooled chillers. The pro-
gram considers specific temperature, fluid and flow
requirements among other factors such as fouling and alti-
tude corrections.
Before selecting a chiller, consider the following points:
Leaving water (fluid) temperature (LWT)
• The LWT must be at least 40 F (4.4 C) or greater.
• If the LWT requirement is greater than 60 F (15.5 C), a
mixing loop is required.
Evaporator pressure drop:
• A high evaporator pressure drop can be expected when
the evaporator delta-T is low. A mixing loop can help to
alleviate this situation.
• The three-pass evaporator option is recommended to
increase performance when the evaporator delta T is
high. This is particularly helpful with brine applications.
Condenser pressure drop:
• A high condenser pressure drop can be expected when
the condenser delta-T is low. A one-pass condenser can
help lower pressure drop.
Entering water (fluid) temperature (EWT)
Series chillers:
• If the EWT requirement is greater than 70 F (21.1 C), a
mixing loop is required. The EWT should not exceed
70 F (21.1 C) for extended operation. Pulldown can be
accomplished from 95 F (35 C).
• One-pass heat exchangers can help lower pressure
drop when heat exchangers are placed in series.
Water quality, fouling factor:
• Poor water quality can increase the required evaporator
fouling factor.
• Higher than standard fouling factors lead to lower
capacity and higher input kW from a given chiller size
compared to running the same application with better
water quality (and lower fouling factors).
Temperature reset:
• Return water (standard)
• Outside air temperature (standard)
• Space temperature (accessory sensor required)
• 4 to 20 mA (requires an energy management module)
Demand limit:
• 2-step (requires an energy management module)
• 4 to 20 mA (requires an energy management module)
• CCN Loadshed
Evaporator flow rate or evaporator delta-T:
• The evaporator delta-T (EWT – LWT) must fall between
5 and 20° F (2.8 and 11.1° C) while still meeting the
maximum entering requirements.
• For larger or smaller delta-T applications, a mixing loop
is required. If the evaporator flow is variable, the rate of
change of flow should not exceed 10% per minute.
The loop volume in circulation must equal or exceed
3 gallons per nominal ton (3.2 L per kW) of cooling for
temperature stability and accuracy in normal air condi-
tioning applications. In process cooling applications,
there should be 6 to 10 gallons per ton (6.5 to 10.8 L
per kW). To achieve this loop volume, it is often neces-
sary to install a tank in the loop. The tank should be baf-
fled to ensure there is no stratification, and that water
(or brine) entering the tank is adequately mixed with liq-
uid in the tank. See Water Loop Volume in the Applica-
tion Data section.

Controls
point to a warmer temperature thereby reducing compres-
sor power usage and saving energy. Three reset options
are offered. With any chilled water reset application, hu-
midity control should be considered since higher coil tem-
peratures will reduce latent capacity. For details on apply-
ing a reset option, refer to the Controls, Start-Up, Opera-
tion, Service and Troubleshooting guide.
Return fluid temperature reset — This feature
increases LWT set point as return (entering) fluid tempera-
ture decreases (indicating load decrease). This option may
be used where return fluid temperature provides accurate
load indication. No additional hardware is required.
Microprocessor
The chiller microprocessor controls overall unit operation
and controls a number of processes simultaneously. These
processes include internal timers, reading inputs, analog to
digital conversions, display control, diagnostic control, out-
put relay control, demand limit, capacity control, head
pressure control, and temperature reset. Some processes
are updated almost continuously, others every 2 to 3 sec-
onds, and some every 30 seconds. The microprocessor
routine is started by switching the emergency ON-OFF
switch to the ON position.
Control sequence
Outdoor-air temperature reset
—
This feature
Pre-start — After control switches on, the prestart takes
place. The microprocessor checks itself, and if configured,
energizes the evaporator and condenser pumps to the
internal (or CCN) time schedule (or input occupied signal
from an external system) and waits for temperature to
stabilize.
Start-up — The chiller will receive a call for cooling when
chilled fluid temperature increases above the set point plus
a dead band, or if an override start command is received.
If flow has been proven, the first compressor starts 1 to 3
minutes after the call for cooling. The controlled pulldown
feature limits compressor loading on start up to reduce
demand on start up and unnecessary compressor usage.
Capacity control — On the first call for cooling, the
microprocessor starts the compressor on the lead circuit.
The microprocessor maintains leaving fluid temperature
set point through intelligent positioning of the slide valve.
As the load increases above the compressor's capacity, the
compressor on the lag circuit is started and both compres-
sors are staged together.
Maintaining set point — The control monitors entering
and leaving chilled water temperature to anticipate
changes in cooling load. The speed at which capacity is
added or reduced is controlled by temperature deviation
from set point and rate of temperature change of the
chilled fluid. The basic logic for determining when to add
or remove capacity is a time band integration of deviation
from set point plus rate of change of leaving fluid tempera-
ture. When leaving-fluid temperature is close to the set
point and slowly moving closer, logic prevents additional
capacity. Accuracy depends on loop volume, loop flow
rate, load and condenser water temperatures.
Return fluid temperature compensation — No adjust-
ment for cooling range or evaporator flow rate is required
because the control automatically compensates for cooling
range by measuring both return fluid temperature and leav-
ing fluid temperature.
Low temperature override — This feature prevents
LWT (leaving water temperature) from overshooting the
set point to prevent nuisance low suction temperature
trips.
High temperature override — This feature allows the
chiller to add capacity quickly during rapid load variations.
Temperature reset (chilled water reset) — When
latent loads in the conditioned space are reduced, it may be
possible to reset the leaving chilled water temperature set
increases LWT set point as outdoor ambient temperatures
decreases (indicating load decrease). This reset should only
be applied where outdoor ambient temperature is an indi-
cation of load. A field-installed thermistor is required.
Space temperature reset — This feature increases the
LWT as space temperature decreases (indicating load
decrease). This reset should only be applied where space
temperature is an indication of load. A field-supplied ther-
mistor is required.
Minimum load control — The main base board (MBB)
responds to the supply chilled water temperature to match
cooling load requirements and controls the minimum load
control valve. The minimum load control valve allows hot
gas to pass directly into the evaporator circuit permitting
the unit to operate at lower loads with less compressor
cycling. Minimum load control should be given consider-
ation when operation is anticipated below the minimum
unloading step.
Pull down control — If pulldown control has been
selected (adjustable setting), no additional capacity is added
as long as the difference between fluid temperature and the
set point is greater than 4 F (2.2 C) and rate of change in
leaving water temperature is greater than the 90 seconds
since the last capacity change, compressors will continue
to run unless a safety device trips. This prevents rapid
cycling and also helps return oil during short operating
periods.
Maximum operating pressure control — If the enter-
ing fluid temperature is 95 F (35 C) and the saturated suc-
tion temperature is 50 F (10 C) or higher, the maximum
operating pressure (MOP) feature limits the suction to keep
the chiller online. The control automatically starts the
chiller in the unloaded state to eliminate the potential of
compressor overload due to high head pressure or low suc-
tion pressure.
Equalized run time — The controller will equalize run
time on each circuit through the lead / lag feature. If a cir-
cuit becomes disabled, the control will automatically set the
active circuit to lead, keeping the chiller online at a reduced
capacity.
Sensors — Thermistors are used to control temperature
sensing inputs to the microprocessor. No additional ther-
mistor sensors are required for leaving chilled water tem-
perature, optional return water reset, or outdoor air reset.
The following sensors can be used on 30XW units:
• Evaporator leaving fluid temperature (T1)
19

Controls (cont)
• Evaporator entering fluid temperature (T2)
• Suction gas temperature (T4 - Circuit A, T7 - Circuit B)
• Economizer gas temperature (T5 - Circuit A, T11 -
Circuit B) (sizes 350, 400 only)
Loss of flow protection — This feature will shut off the
chiller if the detected flow is below the configured mini-
mum flow rate. Thermal dispersion flow switches are
installed in 30XW chillers to confirm evaporator flow.
Sensor failures — The microprocessor monitors tem-
perature and pressure sensors to ensure readings are
within the expected range. Loss of communication to a
sensor or readings outside of the expected range will
prompt corrective action.
Other safeties — Other safety features include electric
overload, thermal overload protection, oil pressure, loss of
refrigerant charge, loss of phase protection, reverse
rotation protection (prevents compressor start), current
imbalance, and ground current.
Demand limit function — This function can be used to
limit the total power draw of the chiller to a user-defined
set point. The optional energy management module is
required and can provide either 2-step or 4 to 20 mA
demand limit. This optional electronic board interfaces
with the microprocessor to control the number of com-
pressors operating and their operating capacity to limit
power consumption to the user specified value.
The microprocessor can control the number of compres-
sors operating and their operating capacity to limit power
consumption to the user specified value.
Diagnostics — The microprocessor includes a service
test feature that displays the condition of each sensor and
switch in the chiller and allows the observer to check for
proper operation of the compressors. Refer to the Con-
trols, Start Up, Operation, Service and Troubleshooting
guide for further information.
Default settings — To facilitate quick start-ups, 30XW
chillers are pre-configured with a default setting that
assumes stand-alone operation with a 44 F (6.6 C) chilled
water set point. Configuration settings will be based on any
options or accessories included with the unit at the time of
manufacturing. Date and time are set to U.S.A. Eastern
Time zone and will need reconfiguring based on location
and local time zone. If operation based on occupancy
schedule is desired, the schedule must be set during
installation.
Additional information — Detailed information on con-
trols and operation is available in the Controls, Start-Up,
Operation, Service and Troubleshooting guide included
with each unit. Packaged Service Training programs are
also available. Contact your local Carrier representative for
more information.
• Space temperature (T8)
• Discharge gas temperature (T9 - Circuit A, T10 -
Circuit B)
• Condenser entering fluid temperature (T12)
• Condenser leaving fluid temperature (T13)
• Compressor motor temperature
There are 3 (size 325) or 4 (sizes 350, 400) refrigerant
pressure transducers used in each circuit for sensing suc-
tion, discharge, oil, and economizer (sizes 350, 400) pres-
sure. The microprocessor uses these inputs to control
capacity.
• Saturated condensing temperature
• Evaporator saturation temperature
Electronic expansion valve (EXV) — The EXV con-
trols refrigerant flow to the evaporator for different operat-
ing conditions by varying an orifice size to increase or
decrease the flow area through the valve based on micro-
processor input. The orifice is positioned by a stepper
motor through approximately 3,600 discrete steps and is
monitored every 3 seconds.
Safeties
Abnormal conditions — All control safeties in the chiller
operate through compressor protection board, control
relays or the chiller microprocessor. Loss of feedback sig-
nal to the MBB will cause the compressor(s) to shut down.
For other safeties, the microprocessor makes appropriate
decision to shut down a compressor due to a safety trip or
bad sensor reading and displays the appropriate failure
code on the display. Chiller holds in safety mode until
reset; it then reverts to normal control when the unit is
reset.
Low-pressure safety — This safety will shut down the
chiller and display the appropriate alarm code if the system
pressure drops below configured minimums.
High-pressure safety — This safety will shut down the
chiller and display the appropriate alarm code if the com-
pressor discharge pressure increases to 185 psig for stan-
dard condenser units or 250 psig for high condensing or
heat machine units.
Compressor anti-cycling — This feature monitors com-
pressor starts to limit compressor cycling during periods of
low load.

Application data
Unit storage
Evaporator flow range
Store chiller and starter indoors, protected from construc-
tion dirt and moisture. Inspect under shipping tarps, bags,
or crates to be sure water has not collected during transit.
Keep protective shipping covers in place until machine is
ready for installation. Assure that the inside of the protec-
tive cover meets the following criteria:
For minimum and maximum evaporator flow rates please
see the Evaporator and Condenser Flow Rates table. A
high flow rate is generally limited by the maximum pres-
sure drop that can be tolerated by the unit. The 30XW
chillers are designed for a full load temperature rise of 5 to
20 F (2.8 to 11.1 C). See the Carrier selection program for
pressure drop values and performance.
• Temperature is between 40 F (4.4 C) and 120 F
(48.9 C)
Minimum evaporator flow
• Relative humidity is between 10% and 80% (non-
condensing)
When system design conditions require a lower flow (or
higher temperature rise) than the minimum allowable evap-
orator flow rate, please follow the recommendations
below.
• Multiple smaller chillers may be applied in series, each
providing a portion of the design temperature rise.
• Try increasing the number of passes in the evaporator
(1, 2, or 3 passes available).
• Evaporator fluid may be recirculated to raise the flow
rate to the chiller. The mixed temperature entering the
evaporator must be maintained to a minimum of at least
5 F (2.8 C) above the leaving chilled fluid tempera-
ture and a maximum of no more than 20 F (11.1 C)
above the leaving chilled fluid temperature.
Chiller location
Unit should be located indoors on a level surface in an area
with temperatures between 50 F (10 C) and 104 F (40 C).
Clearance should be provided around the unit for service
and local code requirements. See dimensional drawings for
specific unit clearance requirements. Consideration should
be given to using rubber-in-shear pads. For applications
other than ground to slab, it is recommended spring isola-
tors are used to minimize structure borne transmission.
Acoustic consideration should be given near sound sensi-
tive areas.
Relief valve vent lines:
1. Vent per local code requirements.
NOTE: Recirculation flow is shown below.
2. Each chiller has 2 relief valves on the evaporator, 2
on the condenser and one relief valve on each com-
pressor discharge line.
Maximum evaporator flow
RECIRCULATION FLOW
Strainers
CHILLER EVAPORATOR
A screen strainer with minimum screen size of 20 mesh
must be installed within 10 ft (3 m) of the inlet pipe con-
nection to both the evaporator and condenser to prevent
debris from damaging internal tubes of the evaporator. The
pump strainer shall not be used to meet this requirement.
a30-4698
Oversizing chillers
Oversizing chillers by more than 15% at design conditions
should be avoided as the system operating efficiency is
adversely affected (resulting in greater or excessive electri-
cal demand). When future expansion of equipment is antic-
ipated, install a single chiller to meet present load
requirements and add a second chiller to meet the addi-
tional load demand. It is also recommended that 2 smaller
chillers be installed where operation at minimum load is
critical. The operation of a smaller chiller loaded to a
greater percentage over minimum is preferred to operating
a larger chiller at or near its minimum recommended value.
Operation at its minimum load should only be done inter-
mittently, not for long periods of time. Minimum load con-
trol should not be used as a means to allow oversizing
chillers.
The maximum evaporator flow (approximately 5 F
(2.8 C) rise results in a practical maximum pressure drop
through the evaporator. Optional marine waterboxes may
help reduce pressure drop by a small amount. If this is
insufficient, a return fluid may bypass the evaporator to
keep the pressure drop through the evaporator within
acceptable limits. This permits a higher delta T with lower
fluid flow through the evaporator and mixing after the
evaporator.
NOTE: Bypass flow is shown below.
BYPASS FLOW
CHILLER EVAPORATOR
Evaporator water temperature
Maximum leaving fluid temperature for the unit is 60 F
(15.5 C). The unit can start and pull down with up to 95 F
(35 C) entering fluid temperature. For sustained operation,
it is recommended the fluid temperature not exceed 70 F
(21.1 C). Water flowing through the evaporator should
never exceed 100 F (37.8 C). Minimum leaving water tem-
perature is 40 F (4.4 C).
a30-4699

concentration of at least 15 F (8.3 C) below the leaving
fluid temperature set point. If chiller fluid lines are in an
area where ambient conditions fall below 34 F (1.1 C), it is
recommended that an antifreeze solution be added to pro-
tect the unit and fluid piping to a temperature 15 F
(8.3 C) below the lowest anticipated temperature. For
corrections to performance, refer to the chiller selection
program.
NOTE: Use only antifreeze solutions approved for heat
exchanger duty. Use of automotive antifreeze is not recom-
mended because of the fouling that can occur once their
relatively short-lived inhibitors break down.
Variable evaporator flow rates
Variable flow rates may be applied to a standard chiller.
The unit will, however, attempt to maintain a constant
leaving fluid temperature. In such cases minimum flow
must be in excess of minimum flow given in the
Evaporator and Condenser Flow Rates table, and mini-
mum loop volume must be in excess of 3 gallons per ton
(3.21 L per kW). Combined flow rate and change in load
must not change by more than 10% per minute. Additional
loop volume may be necessary to ensure fluid is not quickly
recirculated back to the chiller before the chiller has
adjusted to the previous change in flow rate and load
condition.
Multiple chillers
Water loop volume
Where multiple chillers are required, or where standby
capability is desired, chillers may be installed in parallel.
Units may be of the same or different sizes. However,
evaporator flow rates must be balanced according to the
recommendations of each chiller to ensure proper flow.
Unit software is capable of controlling two units as a sin-
gle plant. Refer to the Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Ser-
vice and Troubleshooting guide for further details.
The loop volume in circulation must equal or exceed 3 gal.
per nominal ton (3.2 L per kW) of cooling for temperature
stability and accuracy in normal air-conditioning applica-
tions. In process cooling applications, there should be 6 to
10 gallons per ton (6.5 to 10.8 L per kW). To achieve this
loop volume, it is often necessary to install a tank in the
loop. The tank should be baffled to ensure there is no strat-
ification, and that water (or brine) entering the tank is ade-
quately mixed with liquid in the tank. See Tank installation
drawing.
Dual chiller control
The chiller on board controller allows 2 chillers (piped in
parallel or series) to operate as a single chilled water plant
with standard control functions coordinated through the
master chiller controller. This feature requires a communi-
cation link between the 2 chillers. There are several advan-
tages to this type of control:
TANK INSTALLATION
• Redundancy (multiple circuits)
• Better low load control (lower tonnage capability)
• Lower rigging lift weights (2 machines rather than one
large machine)
BAD
GOOD
• Chiller lead-lag operation (evens the wear between the
two machines)
Parallel chiller operation
Parallel chiller operation is the recommended option for
dual chiller control. In this case, each chiller must control
its own dedicated pumps or isolation valves. Balancing
valves are recommended to ensure the proper flow to each
chiller. Two field-supplied and installed dual chiller leaving
water temperature sensors are required (one for each mod-
ule) for this function to operate properly.
Consider adding additional isolation valves to isolate
each chiller to allow for service on the machine, and still
allow for partial capacity from the other chiller.
BAD
GOOD
a30-3185
Evaporator fouling factor
The fouling factor used to calculate tabulated ratings is
0.0001 sq ft ⋅ hr °F/Btu (0.000018 sq m ⋅ ° C/W). As
fouling factor is increased, both unit capacity and EER
(Energy Efficiency Ratio) decrease. The impact of the foul-
ing factor on performance varies significantly with chiller
size and application conditions. Ratings must be deter-
mined by the Carrier selection program.
Series chiller operation
Series chiller operation is an alternate control method sup-
ported by the chiller control system. Certain applications
might require that two chillers be connected in series. For
nominal 10 F (5.6 C) evaporator ranges, use the one-pass
heat exchanger options to reduce fluid side pressure drop.
Use the standard pass arrangement for low flow, high tem-
perature rise applications. Two field-supplied and installed
dual chiller leaving water temperature sensors are required
(one for each module) for this function to operate properly.
Condenser minimum flow rate
The minimum condenser flow rate is shown in the Mini-
mum and Maximum Condenser Flow Rate Table. If the
condenser flow rate is below the minimum rate shown, try
increasing the number of condenser passes (1 or 2 pass
available).
Evaporator and condenser freeze protection
The solution concentration must be sufficient to protect the
chilled water loop to a freeze protection (first crystals)

shed to keep electricity demand below a prescribed maxi-
mum level. Typically, this happens on hot days when air
conditioning is most needed. The energy management
module (EMM) option can be added to accomplish this
reduction. Demand may be limited on the unit by resetting
water temperature, or by unloading the chiller to a given
predetermined percentage of the load. Demand limit may
also be driven by an external 4 to 20 mA signal. These fea-
tures require a signal from an intelligent central control.
Duty cycling — Duty cycling will cycle an electrical load
at regular intervals regardless of need. This reduces the
electrical demand by "fooling" demand measuring devices.
Duty cycling of the entire compressor is NOT recom-
mended since motor windings and bearing life will suffer
from constant cycling.
Even if evaporators are piped in series, parallel con-
denser piping should be considered on constant speed
chillers to maximize capacity and efficiency while minimiz-
ing condenser pressure drop and saturated condensing
temperatures. If the condensers are piped in series, ensure
that the leaving fluid temperature does not exceed 122 F
(50 C) for standard units, or 140 F (60 C) for high con-
densing or heat machine condensers.
Electric utility interests
Energy management — Use of energy management
practices can significantly reduce operating costs, espe-
cially during off-peak modes of operation. Demand limiting
and temperature reset are two techniques for accomplish-
ing efficient energy management. See Demand Limiting
(also called load shedding) section below for further details.
Remote on-off control — Remote on-off control may be
applied by hard-wired connection (see the Controls,
Start-Up, Operation, Service and Troubleshooting guide)
or by connection to the Carrier Comfort Network® (CCN)
system.
Demand limiting (load shedding) — When a utility's
demand for electricity exceeds a certain level, loads are

NOTES:
The recommended fuse size in amps (RFA) is calculated as follows:
1. Each main power source must be supplied from a field-supplied fused
electrical service with a (factory-installed or field-installed) disconnect
located in sight from the unit.
RFA = (1.50) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size the fuse
one size up from the result. The RLAs are listed on the nameplate.
2. Control circuit power must be supplied from a separate source through a
field-supplied disconnect. An optional control transformer may be used
to provide control circuit power from the main unit power supply.

Guide specifications (cont)
12. Compressor Suction Service Valve:
19. Dual Point Power:
Standard refrigerant discharge isolation and
liquid valves enable service personnel to store
the refrigerant charge in the evaporator or
condenser during servicing. This factory-
installed option allows for further isolation of
the compressor from the evaporator vessel.
The dual point power option shall provide a
means for connecting two sources of power to
dual compressor chillers. One source of power
is wired to operate the compressor on the A
circuit and one source of power is wired to
operate the compressor on the B circuit of the
chiller.
13. GFI Convenience Outlet:
20. Non-Fused Disconnect:
Shall be factory or field-installed and mounted
with easily accessible 115-v female receptacle.
Shall include 4 amp GFI receptacle.
This option shall provide a no load, lockable,
through the door handle disconnect for unit
power on the chiller. On dual point power,
one disconnect is provided for each of the two
main power supplies. This disconnect does
not remove the control circuit from power
supply.
14. 300 psig (2068 kPa) Evaporator Operating
Pressure:
This option shall provide for water-side pres-
sure operation up to 300 psig (2068 kPa).
15. 300 psig (2068 kPa) Condenser Operating
Pressure:
This option shall provide for water-side pres-
sure operation up to 300 psig (2068 kPa).
16. Marine Waterboxes:
21. Control Transformer:
The control transformer shall be sized to sup-
ply the needs of the control circuit from the
main power supply.
22. Nitrogen Charge:
Marine waterboxes shall provide water piping
connections extending from the side of the
waterbox (as opposed to extending from the
end of the waterbox). This option also includes
a removable bolt on waterbox cover allowing
access to the heat exchanger tubes without
breaking the existing field piping. This option
is available for both the evaporator and
condenser.
A nitrogen charge option is available to pro-
vide a 15 lb (6.8 kg) charge of nitrogen
instead of a full factory charge of R-134a
refrigerant to keep the chiller refrigerant cir-
cuit dry during shipment. This option is rec-
ommended for applications where the unit will
be disassembled prior to installation. Units
shipped with a nitrogen charge will receive an
electrical continuity test at the factory prior to
shipment.
17. Flanged Connection:
The flanged connection option shall provide
an ANSI flange on the end of the chiller water
piping for connection to a customer supplied
mating flange in the field piping. This option
is available for both the evaporator and
condenser.
23. Crate for Shipment:
This option is recommended for export
orders. The chiller will be bagged prior to
being placed in a wooden crate.
24. Remote Enhanced Display:
This option is a remotely mounted indoor
40-character per line, 16-line display panel for
unit monitoring and diagnostics.
18. One-Pass Condenser:
This option shall provide a lower pressure
drop through the condenser for applications
with low delta T (temperature) or high flow or
where the condensers are piped in a series.
The one-pass condenser option is only avail-
able with flanged connections and with a dis-
charge end leaving water connection.
25. Vibration Springs:
A set of non-siesmic spring isolators can be
provided for installation at the jobsite.
