LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0 1. Absorption principle
1. Absorption principle
Vacuum maintenance is essential for an absorption chiller-heater since it works in a high-end
vacuum state.
1-1 Chilled water generation
An absorption hot and chilled water generator is a chilled water generating device that uses water
(H2O) as refrigerant and lithium bromide (LiBr) solution as absorbent.
It uses a heated refrigerant vapor for cooling.
When rubbing alcool on the skin after
injection, it is getting cooler. Because alcohol
takes heat off the skin when being evaporated.
100kcal is needed to heat water 1kg (1ℓ) from
0℃ to 100℃ and this is referred to as sensible
heat.
On the other hand, 540kcal is needed to
evaporate 1kg (1ℓ) water at 100℃ and this is
referred to as latent heat of vaporization.

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
As shown above, using heat of vaporization rather than

sensible heat, generated from 1kg (1ℓ) water, can transfer
much more heat capacity. And water is normally evaporated
at 100℃ but it can be evaporated at a lower temperature
when air pressure is lowered. It is why rice is half-cooked on
a high mountain.
For example, water is evaporated at around 88℃ on top of a
mountain. However the lower air pressure is, the higher a 6mmHg
4℃
mountain is. Under pressure of about 1/100 air pressure
(absolute pressure 6mmHg-air pressure is absolute pressure
7℃
760mmHg), water is evaporated at about 4℃.
Cool water
In this case, heat of vaporization is 588kcal per 1kg of water.
refrigerant (H20)
Using water as refrigerant produces chilled water at 7℃.
Pressure inside a container is getting up,
Putting refrigerant (water) inside a sealed container and
as refrigerant is evaporated.
adjusting inside pressure to 6mmHg (that is, only vapor
Figure 1-1 cooling principle (evaporator)
pressure works), refrigerant is evaporated at 4℃ and chilled
water is produced by passing water through air. (this container is called evaporator)
However, inside pressure rise up due to refrigerant vapor, then accordingly refrigerant can’t be
evaporated at 4℃ and water temperature,
after passing through air, gradually rise. 6mmHg
evaporation absorption
Thus, to produce chilled water of 7℃,
refrigerant should be always evaporated at
4℃. For this, pressure inside a container
has to be maintained at6mmHg and
refrigerant
evaporated refrigerant is to be taken out Absorber
Cool water (H2O) (LiBr)
of a container. For repeating this
procedure, a container, which absorptive
material, is connected, then it absorbs Figure 1-2 Evaporator and absorber
refrigerant vapor and finally pressure
inside a container can be maintained to 6mmHg. As absorbent, 『Lithium Bromide』(LiBr) solution is
used. (this container is called “absorber”) LiBr solution is a very powerful absorbent, however,
absorptive capacity increases under a higher density or a lower temperature.

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
Absorptive capacity can be represented in saturated vapor pressure and the relation between saturated
vapor pressure, density and temperature of absorption solution can be represented in duhring diagram as
shown in figure 1-3.
1. Saturated vapor pressure is a value representing evaporation level, which is proper depending on a
material state. Neither evaporation nor condensation occurs when vapor pressure is lower than a
saturated vapor pressure around it. (in this case, relative humidity of air is 100%) on the contrary, water
is condensed when vapor pressure is higher than a saturated vapor pressure around it. (dew on a window,
for example) In general, the easier evaporation is, the higher saturated vapor pressure is (alcohol) to the
contrary, the more difficult evaporation is (that is, the easier condensation is) , the lower saturated vapor
pressure is.

In the diagram, temperature is represented on horizontal axis, pressure is represented on vertical axis and
the first line from the left represents density 0% of LiBr, that is water state. Saturated pressure of water
at 4℃is 6mmHg as shown in During graph. That is to say, water at 4℃is evaporated under pressure of
6mmHg.
For absorbing vapor of this 6mmHg pressure, saturated vapor pressure in absorption solution is
maintained lower than that. For example, temperature must be maintained less than 18℃ for aqueous
solution of 45% density and absorbent liquid of more than about 50% density is needed to maintain
temperature at 24℃.
When evaporated refrigerant is absorbed at 4℃, absorbent liquid gives off heat, thus temperature of
absorbent liquid rises and absorptive capacity is weakened. Therefore to prevent this, absorbent liquid is
cooled with cooling water. This absorbing heat is almost paralleled with heat of vaporization.
That is, heat of cooling water is delivered to refrigerant vapor in evaporator, refrigerant vapor to
absorbent liquid in absorber and absorbent liquid to cooling water.

Figure 1-4 basic cycle of absorption chiller and heater
As absorption solution absorbs refrigerant, its density is lowered and thus absorptive power is weakened.
For recovering weakened liquid, absorption solution is transferred to somewhere else and heated to
evaporate refrigerant. (it is referred to as “regenerator”) when absorption solution, condensed by
evaporating refrigerant returned to absorber, circulation 『Cycle』is completed and cooling effect
continues.
On the other hand, refrigerant vapor generated in regenerator is transferred to another container, then
cooled and condensed by cooling water, producing refrigerant liquid as a result, and finally sent to
evaporator completing circulation 『cycle』 of refrigerant.

It is also efficient to install a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between condensed absorption solution
w gvVGV 98 9heated in a regenerator and low-condensed absorption solution cooled in absorber.
--It is the principle of absorption chiller. (basic cycle of absorption figure 1-4)
A system described above is referred to as a single-effect chiller and a system improved to increase
efficiency is a double-effect chiller. The double-effect absorption has 2 generators (high-temp generator
and low-temp generator) that generate refrigerant vapor. It has also 2 heat exchangers (low–temperature
heat exchanger and high-temp heat exchanger), which generates refrigerant vapor by heating absorption
solution with previous-generated refrigerant vapor.
Current chiller-heaters are all double-effect, and most of freezers are also double-effect. A double-effect
machine consumes less fuel than a single-effect one.
--Refer to 2-4 components of a chiller-heater for the function of components.
Figure 1-3(duhring diagram) shows absorption solution change of our absorption chiller-heater.
ⓐ is the area in which refrigerant vapor is absorbed in an absorber, resulting in a low density.
- Cooling effect is gained by keeping the pressure of evaporator low.
ⓑ is the area in which high-temp generator evaporates refrigerant, then condensing absorption solution.
- Thus external heating source is needed.
ⓒ is the area in which absorption solution is concentrated using refrigerant vapor as a heating source,
generated in a high-temp generator, in a low-temperature generator..
- Thus no external heating source is needed.
Since even high-temp generator, which has the highest internal pressure, works in less than air pressure
of 760mmHg, absorption chiller-heater is safe and requires no qualified person. But it consists of a
high-end vacuum container and furthermore 1/100 of air pressure must be maintained in an evaporator
and an absorber. In addition, the pressure has to be maintained solely with vapor pressure. If even the
smallest quantity of air gets in, then internal pressure rises, resulting in disrupting the cooling effect.
And 『Lithium Bromide』solution gets corrosiveness when it is mixed with oxygen, therefore air
infiltration has a bad influence on the life of a machine. So ‘Purge’, explained later, is very important
when handling absorption chiller-heater.
1-2 Hot water generating principle

Opening a cooling/heating conversion valve installed between the lower shell and high-temp generator
drives circulation short cycle of absorption solution and refrigerant vapor and refrigerant vapor
generated in high-temp generator gets into the lower shell and is condensed on the surface of
evaporator’s electric- heating tube, then condensed latent heat heats hot water inside the electric-
heating tube and finally concentrated refrigerant returns to the generator by absorption solution pump.
In this case, the machine works safely in less than air pressure.
As explained above, hot water generating principle is very simple and just refrigerant vapor generated

in generator is used as heating source.

1-2-1 60℃ chiller-heater (basic heating cycle)
The maximum setting temperature is 60℃ for 60℃ chiller-heater and heating basic cycle is as

Chiller-heater with hot water heat exchanger use refrigerant vapor in a high-temp generator to raise
temperature more than that of 60℃ chiller-heater. It uses directly refrigerant vapor as heating source,
installing a hot water header in the upper part of high-temp generator. And cooling/heating
conversion closes the valve of each unit, turning high-temp generator into a sealed container.

absorption solution pump or other parts of main body is not used. That is, a burner and a high-temp
generator are used.

1-3 Nature of absorption solution

Absorption chiller-heater uses a solution of『Lithium bromide』(LiBr) as absorption solution.
『Lithium bromide』(LiBr) is a compound of 『alkali』metal Lithium(Li) and 『halogen』
Brom(Br), similar to salt(NaCl), its absorptive power is strong, and it, as very stable material
chemically, doesn’t change in the air, such as resolution, volatility. When mixed with oxygen, it gets
corrosiveness on metal but this is not as much as salt.
1) Absorption
Its absorptive power is very strong as described in chilled water generating principle. And its
saturated vapor pressure is reasonably low, thus proper for absorption chiller-heater that uses
water as refrigerant.
2) Specific heat
Specific heat of『Lithium Bromide』(LiBr) of about 60% density is about half of water. It means
a smaller heat capacity is needed to raise the temperature of『Lithium Bromide』liquid. It is
essential for the efficiency of chiller-heater.
3) Specific weight
Specific weight of a solution of『Lithium Bromide』(about 60% density) is much greater than
that of water(1.0). (about 1.7 times) specific weight is determined by liquid density and its
density can be found from the figure 1-7 duhring diagram, measuring temperature and specific
weight of absorption solution.
4) Corrosiveness
When『Lithium Bromide』is mixed with oxygen, it has corrosiveness. But there is almost no
room for oxygen, for absorption chiller-heater is a vacuum container.
Because corrosiveness inhibitor is added in absorption solution and alkali level is adjusted for
safety, handling absorption solution requires much attention and regular chemical analysis is
practiced to maintain the amount of addition.
5) Nature of absorption solution depending on temperature and density
Absorption solution has an inverse relation between temperature and density. The lower
temperature is, the more powerful absorption force is and the higher temperature is, the less
powerful absorption force is.
The higher density is, the more powerful absorption force is and the lower density is, the less
powerful absorption force is.
And both states have an influence on crystallization. Crystallization is a phenomenon in which
absorption solution becomes something like jelly or salt. The higher density is, the easier
crystallization is and the lower density is, the more difficult crystallization is. On the other hand
the lower temperature is, the easier crystallization is and the higher temperature, the less easier
crystallization. This nature has a close relation to the efficiency and performance of absorption
21
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
chiller-heater and also to crystallization.

Therefore absorption solution works the best under proper density and temperature. That is, heat
capacity of fuel, which has a direct influence on temperature and density of absorption solution,
flux or temperature of cooling water is maintained in a proper state. Emergency stop is needed in
Dilution operation or abnormal working due to this nature. And crystal resolution is performed
based on this nature. Crystal resolution will be explained in a
proper section.
1-4 Measuring absorption solution density
1) Measuring instruments
cap
1. Extracting cylinder
2. A hydrometer( ranging 1.0 ~ 1.8 ) Pressure hose
3. A thermometer(0 ~ 100℃)
Service valve
4. Density curve of a solution of Lithium bromide (refer to the
figure1-7) Bushing
5. Absorption solution and refrigerant
2) Procedure
1. Assemble extracting cylinder, pressure hose and service valve.
Cylinder
2. Connect pressure hose to service valve (lower part of
manometer service valve) of extracting device and put
extracting pump into operation so as to make a vacuum state
inside cylinder.
3. Make the inside of cylinder into vacuum state by opening service valve.
4. Maintain vacuum state bending pressure hose when pulling the hose out of service valve.
5. Connect the end of hose to service valve of solution to measure (diluent solution–discharge
part of absorption solution pump, intermediate solution–high-temp heat exchanger, a thick
solution–low-temp heat exchanger).
6. Extract a solution from the cylinder.
7. Extract about 80% of solution from the device into extracting cylinder. (be very cautious so as
to prevent air from getting in, when extracting solution.)
8. Remove service valve on the upper part of cylinder after closing a service valve.
9. Measure temperature and specific weight putting hydrometer and thermometer in the cylinder.
(be very cautious not to get burn when measuring a thick liquid and intermediate liquid, that
are very hot)
10. Store the solution measured in an empty container.
11. Search density line, referring to temperature and specific weight, in density curve of Lithium
Bromide.

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
12. Clean the instrument in water after measuring.

3) Note
Be very cautious not to break the fragile hydrometer and thermometer.
Do not throw away the solution on the floor and store it in a clean container instead.
Measure both specific weight and temperature at the same time to avoid an error.
Be aware of the fact that the smallest quantity of air causes corrosiveness. Practice purge
immediately when air gets in.

3. Structure and principle of absorption chiller-heater LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0
3. Structure and principle of absorption chiller-heater

An absorption chiller-heater can be regarded as an ensemble of heat exchangers.
3-1 Evaporator
An evaporator consists of a tube (copper pipe), a refrigerant tray, a refrigerant pump, a chilled
water chamber and an eliminator linked to an absorber. An evaporator is a kind of heat exchanger in
which refrigerant is evaporated at 4℃under internal pressure of 6mmHg and then exchanges heat
with chilled water.
Refrigerant pump transfers refrigerant remaining at bottom of evaporator to the upper part and
refrigerant tray spreads it evenly over an evaporator in bubble shape.
Scattered refrigerant in bubble shape has the maximum evaporation dimension, thus is prone to be
evaporated.
Refrigerant is evaporated at 4℃and at the same time takes heat from chilled water in a tube.
Chilled water, which is deprived of heat, becomes cooler. And evaporated refrigerant passes
through an eliminator, then over to absorber in which it is absorbed in absorption solution. An
evaporator repeats this process.
1) Evaporated refrigerant takes heat out of chilled water and latent heat of vaporization moves to an
absorber.
2) Refrigerant pump lifts refrigerant left at the bottom in order that refrigerant falls from the upper
part.
3) Refrigerant tray spreads refrigerant evenly and makes a bubble shape of large dimension in order
that refrigerant is evaporated easily.
4) Eliminator prevents evaporated refrigerant from going over to an absorber and absorption solution
from going over to evaporator. Refrigerant is absorbed very rapidly. It prevents refrigerant in
liquid from going directly to an absorber and instead allows refrigerant in vapor to go over to an
absorber.

3-2 Absorber Figure 3-1. Evaporator
An absorber consists of an absorption solution pump, a tray, a cooling water tube and an
eliminator linked to an evaporator. An absorber is a heat exchanger in which absorption solution
and cooling water exchange heat with each other under the internal pressure of 6mmHg(a high-
degree vacuum) as in an evaporator. An absorber drops evenly condensed and low temperature
absorption solution from low-temp heat exchanger to the absorption solution tray on the upper part
of absorber. Scattered absorption solution absorbs refrigerant vapor passing from the evaporator to
absorber. Absorption solution, which absorbs refrigerant, becomes watery, and then spreads at
bottom and absorption solution pump sends it to a high-temp generator via low and high
temperature heat exchanger.
1) Absorption solution absorbs latent heat of vaporization (which refrigerant takes from chilled
water) and refrigerant vapor.
2) Absorption solution tray spreads condensed absorption solution evenly, then makes it into a
bubble shape with the maximum dimension for absorption.
3) Tube of cooling water discharges heat which is generated when absorption solution absorbs
refrigerant (latent heat of vaporization which refrigerant takes out of chilled water) and heat
generated from high-temp generator outside a chiller-heater (cooling tower).
4) Absorption solution pump forces absorption solution to go up from low pressure to high pressure
of a pump.
5) Overflow pipe sends absorption solution from low temperature generator to absorber during
crystallization or oversupply of absorption solution to low-temp generator to prevent absorption
solution from going from low-temp generator to condenser. Specially, this pipe becomes very hot
in crystallization. However, oversupply of absorption solution to low-temp generator also makes

3-3 High-temp generator

High-temp generator consists of a burner, combustion chamber, an exhaust gas passage, a baffle
and a tube. It heats watery absorption solution with a burner, which absorption solution pump sent
and thereby separates refrigerant from absorption solution to reproduce absorption solution. A
high-temp generator is heated by a burner and refrigerant is heated again in absorption solution to
reproduce refrigerant, thus internal pressure rises up to 700mmHg at maximum, that is, almost to
air pressure. Refrigerant vapor generated at this time moves to a tube of low temperature
generator along the pipe and recovered medium liquid moves to a low-temp generator via high-
temp heat exchanger by means of high-pressure of high-temp generator and low pressure of low-
temp generator.
1) A burner generates flames to heat the inside of high-temp generator.
2) A tube passes flames in a burner to heat absorption solution rapidly.
3) An exhaust gas passage discharges gas and heat outside.
4) A baffle disturbs a rapid flow of flames so as to heat the tube longer.

3-4 Low-temp generator

Low-temp generator consists of a tube and an eliminator connected to a condenser. Absorption
solution coming from a high-temp generator passes on the surface of a tube exchanging heat with
refrigerant vapor, then refrigerant is evaporated and refrigerant vapor, which is transferred from a
high-temp generator, flows inside a tube, heating intermediate solution. More condensed
absorption solution returns to an absorber via a low-temp heat exchanger. Refrigerant vapor,
which heats absorption solution once again, flows into a condenser by way of an orifice pipe.
3-5 Condenser
A condenser consists of a tube and an eliminator connected to a low-temp generator. A condenser
condenses refrigerant vapor coming from a low-temp generator with cooling water. Condensed
refrigerant vapor returns to an evaporator.

3-6 Low-temp and high-temp heat exchanger

Low-temp and high-temp heat exchanger each consists of solely a tube. Diluted absorption solution
flows inside this pipe, on the other hand intermediate and condensed solution flow outside this pipe.
It is a device to increase efficiency to the maximum using absorption solution described earlier.
Since absorption solution works the best under a lower temperature, it is necessary to make
temperature as low as possible before it returns to an absorber from a high-temp generator. On the
contrary, since absorption solution works the worst under a higher temperature, temperature of
absorption solution should be made as high as possible to separate refrigerant from absorption
solution easily. Thus to satisfy both condition at the same time, heat exchange has to be made
among low-temp diluted solution, high-temp condensed solution and intermediate solution. It is the
role of a heat exchanger. The size and the shape of a heat exchanger can vary depending on the
heating surface area and pipe layout.

4-1 Flow of absorption solution in cooling.
Absorption solution drops from a tray on the upper part of absorber onto a tube of cooling water
inside absorber and gathers at the bottom, absorbing refrigerant that comes from an eliminator.
At this time, absorption solution becomes much more diluted than before it flows onto a tray.
Condensation is about 58% under a normal operation as shown in the duhring diagram. It is
called dilute solution. The temperature of dilute solution gathered becomes high(about 120 ~
130℃) exchanging heat with a low and a high-temp heat exchanger, then goes up to a high-temp
generator. If dilute solution is more heated by heat source in a high –temperature generator, then
refrigerant is vaporized out of dilute solution and accordingly its condensation gets higher.
Absorption solution, of which condensation is about 61%, is referred to as intermediate solution.
This intermediate solution passes by a high-temp heat exchanger lowering the temperature of
intermediate solution(about 84℃), then goes up to a low-temp generator. Absorption solution is
transferred from absorber to high-temp generator by the discharging power of absorption solution
pump and on the other hand, transferred from high-temp generator to low-temp generator by
pressure difference between those generators. Pressure of high-temp generator is almost 700 ~
710 mmHg and that of low-temp generator is about 56mmHg as shown in the duhring diagram.
By means of this pressure difference, condensed absorption solution in high-temp generator is
37

delivered to a low-temp generator. In low-temp generator, hot refrigerant vapor which is

separated out of high-temp generator passes through a tube, heating intermediate solution to
make it more condensed (about 63%).
It is the most condensed absorption solution and is called condensed solution. Condensed solution
returns to an absorber in lower temperature(about 52 ~ 55℃) passing through low-temp heat
exchanger. Absorption solution flows into an absorber by means of height/pressure difference
between low-temp generator and absorber. Absorption solution is circulated absorbing refrigerant
again as in this process.
4-2 Circulation of refrigerant in cooling
Refrigerant, which is vaporized in evaporator, cools water in a tube. Vaporized refrigerant is
absorbed in absorption solution, then transferred to a high-temp generator. If it is heated in high-
temp generator, then it is separated from absorption solution in the upper part and vaporized
refrigerant flows into low-temp generator along a vapor pipe. Vaporized refrigerant flows in a
tube as a heat source heating absorption solution, intermediate solution. Vaporized refrigerant
heats absorption solution and is condensed into water, refrigerant, at the same time in a low-temp
generator. Condensed refrigerant moves to condenser, then returns to evaporator, remaining
refrigerant vapor which was not condensed in low-temp generator will be condensed by cooling
water in condenser. Refrigerant in condenser returns to evaporator and will be circulated as above.

5. Operation
5-1 Check point before operation (auto-operation)
An operator should check the issues as below before operating a chiller-heater.
1) Convert a pump operation switch to AUTO, on MCC panel of chilled water, cooling water and
cooling tower. (except manual operation, provided that cooling tower has to be auto-controlled)
2) In case control valve manual lamp on control panel is turned on, control valve is in “manual
mode”. Thus press a control valve switch once again to convert to “auto mode”. When control
valve is in “manual mode”, control valve is maintained in low combustion state after firing.
Accordingly temperature of high-temp generator does not rise, temperature of cooling water does
not get down in cooling and that of hot water does not rise in heating.
3) Check if the valve of a fuel (oil, gas) supply pipe in a burner is normally open. Check a gas pipe
in case gas pressure is higher or lower than usual.
(In case of an oil-burner, check the amount of oil and refill it. When the level of oil in a tank is
lower than oil pump, oil pump can be damaged.)
4) Check if a valve of a pipe connected to a chilled water and cooling water pump is normally open.
And check also if head is normally open in case pipe is connected to cooling water head.
(Above all, check the open state of valve once again when operating several chilled water and
cooling water pump or spare pump for chilled water or cooling water pump.)
An operator can operate a machine normally after having checked all above.
5-2 How to operate an absorption chiller-heater (remote, auto-operation)
1) Pressing operation key on the control panel of chiller-heater for 3 seconds will automatically put
all the system into operation. (in case of remote operation, turn on a remote switch, that is, a
computer.)
2) Check the operation of chilled and cooling water pump when chiller-heater is put into operation.
Check the water pressure of each part (manometer of chilled water, cooling water pipe) to assure
the normal circulation of chilled water and cooling water. When outlet pressure of chilled, cooling
water pipe is lower than that of inlet, it is a normal state. If pressure of both outlet and inlet are
equal or pressure difference is reduced, stop the chiller-heater immediately and convert
chilled/cooling water pump to manual mode for finding and handling causes.
And if the needle of manometer trembles violently or pressure difference is wide, it mainly results
from insufficient water in pipe. Then check a refilling pipe of chilled/cooling water and refill it.
(however, in case of finding causes in manual mode, manual operation is available for chilled
water, but in case of operation in which cooling water is converted to manual mode, put chilled
water into operation together.)
3) Check if firing in a burner is done normally.
4) Check the normal operation of cooling tower fan.

5. Operation LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0
5) Afterwards, the machine is working automatically.

※ A chiller-heater is not likely to work unless any of check points above is normal.
2) There is no extra handling for auto-operation because it works and stops (under an
abnormal situation) automatically but checking a machine in advance prevents an
abnormal operation. (however, be aware of the fact that even though flux of cooling
water is not sufficient or cooling tower fan is not normal, chiller-heater works anyway.)
5-3 How to stop a chiller-heater (auto-operation)

1) Press stop key on the control panel for 3 seconds. (turn a remote stop switch off for remote
operation)
2) A burner converts to a low combustion mode automatically, then electronic valve is shut to stop a
burner in 1 minute.
3) A cooling water pump stops to work.
4) A chilled water pump stops to work.
5) Dilution operation for stop will be done for about 5~15 minutes. (Stop time of chilled water and
cooling water pump is determined based on the temperature of high-temp generator. However,
stop time can be adjusted.—refer to the MICOM manual)
6) AHU, FCU and the like stop to work.
2) ~ 5) above stop to work automatically, however checking the normal stop of those prevents
abnormal situation in advance.
※Operate load such as AHU, FCU and the like after operating a chiller-heater and stop it
after stopping a chiller-heater. In particular, stopping all load such as AHU, FCU and so on
at once, while the temperature of cooling water outlet is low, lowers the temperature of
cooling water abruptly, then causes ice to form inside and danger of being frozen to burst,
therefore turn load off if possible after temperature of cooling water rises sufficiently or
cooling water pump stops to work automatically.
5-4 How to operate an absorption chiller-heater (manual operation)

1) Operate a chilled water pump manually.
2) Operate a cooling water pump manually.
3) Check the circulation between chilled water and cooling water pump.
4) Press the operation key on the control panel of chiller-heater for 3 seconds.
5) Check the ignition of a burner.
6) Check the normal operation of cooling tower fan.
7) After 4), a chiller-heater operates by itself.

5-5 How to stop an absorption chiller-heater (manual operation)

1) Press the stop key on a control panel for 3 seconds.
2) A burner converts to a low combustion mode, then stop to operate in 1 minute automatically.
3) A chiller-heater stops to operate after about 5~15 minutes of dilution operation.
4) Stop a cooling water pump.
5) Stop a chilled water pump.
6) Stop a cooling tower fan automatically. (otherwise, stop it by hand.)
7) Stop AHU, FCU and the like.
※observe the order above for manual operation. Other internal operation is done automatically.
5-6 Safety issues for operation

1) When an operator forgets locking a purge valve, air gets inside a machine causing abnormal
operation. Thus in case vacuum is broken, check the causes and extract air completely. Further
information will be described in the purge part.
2) In case gas leaks out immediately lock the gas main cock and consult with the gas company or
companies of parts in question. (contact the service department of this company in case leakage
occurs in a burner or a gas strainer.)
3) During the dilution operation, operate chilled water and an air conditioner until the end of dilution
operation. Because dilution operation has a little cooling power, immediate stop of air conditioner
causes a danger of over-cooling. Specially, cooling water pump should not be turned by hand
during the operation if possible. It is because when cooling water continues to flow during the
stop operation, chilled water which does not move inside copper pipe of evaporator is cooled by
latent heat left in a chiller-heater.
4) In case of the first cooling or heating, check if cooling/heating conversion is done before the
operation. Otherwise a chiller-heater can be damaged. In general, it is convenient to ask a
technical support for cooling/heating conversion based on the machine repairing contract.
5) Do not test control circuit for temperature adjustment of MICOM in ㏁ level.
6) It is desirable that auto-operation and stop of peripheral devices follows the interlocking circuit
recommended by this company.
Chilled/hot water pump and cooling water pump operate automatically by interlocking circuit.
However, auto-operation is available only when chilled/cooling water interlock, auto joint and
cooling tower auto joint are wired.

and so on. (refer to the instruction on the side of control panel)
7) If a burner is supplied with proper heat, then check crystallization, mechanical breakdown,
temperature of chilled water or machine and take proper measures. When machine is working
after heating to cooling conversion, absorption solution is mixed in refrigerant or normal flow
of solution is disturbed, which results in crystallization. Thus be cautious of this
crystallization.

6-4-1 Cooling conversion of a chiller-heater with hot water heat exchanger (80℃ model)
A chiller-heater with hot water heat exchanger has a separate hot water heat exchanger on the
upper part of high-temp generator, by which the temperature of hot water heat exchanger can rise
up to 80℃ in heating. Valve handling of this machine is the opposite of standard 60℃ model.
And hot and chilled water pipe valve should be absolutely converted.
6-4-2 Preliminaries
80℃ model uses separate pipes for hot water and chilled water each, therefore chilled and hot
water pipe valve should be converted.
1) Close all the valves of the hot water pipe in the upper part of hot water heat exchanger before
cooling conversion.
2) Drain all hot water in hot water pipe.( if hot water is not drained, then temperature of high-
temp generator does not rise in cooling operation and heat expansion causes leakage in the
packing part ,thus damage to a machine. Open the drain valve for hot water during cooling
operation.)
3) Close all the drain valves of chilled and cooling water pipe and open a cut-off valve of chilled
and cooling water pipe to supplement chilled and cooling water.
4) Supply the power to MCC panel of cooling tower to check the auto-operation and error.
6-4-3 Cooling conversion

1) Convert from cooling mode to heating mode in control panel. Heating conversion is the same as
in 60℃ model.
2) Open the cap of the cooling/heating
conversion valves A, B, C and open

5)Close the purge valve NO. 4 for heating and cooling/heating conversion D valve(diaphragm
valve) after absorption solution in the high-temp generator moves to the absorber(it takes about 20
minutes)
6)Put the chiller-heater into operation according to the operation procedure.
7)Perform blow-down 2~3 times during operation. Then operate it normally.
Cooling conversion of chiller-heater with hot water heat exchanger(80℃ model) is done as above.

After terminating the cooling/heating conversion, conversion valves A, B, C and the purge valve
for low-temp generator is opened completely and the purge valve NO.4 for heating and the
cooling/heating conversion D valve is closed.
6-5 Heating conversion (with hot water heat exchanger - 80℃ model)
6-5-1 Preliminaries
As mentioned above, 80℃ model uses separate pipes for hot water and chilled water each,
therefore chilled and hot water pipe valve should be converted.
1) Close cut-off valve for inlet/outlet of cooling pipe.
2) Close the pipe valve for cooling water refilling in the cooling tower.
3) Refilled cooling water does not have to be drained but it is recommended that external pipe is
drained when the temperature is low.
4) Open a hot water valve to supplement the hot water heat exchanger with hot water.
5) Check hot water circulation.
6) Turn cooling water and cooling tower off on the MCC panel.
6-5-2 Heating conversion
1) Perform purge task for the main body and a storage tank. Take about 30 minutes for the main
body.
2) Convert cooling mode to heating mode in the control panel.
3) Open the cap of the cooling/heating conversion valve A, B, C and close the valve A, B, C.
4) Close the purge valve for low-temp generator. (check it without fail because refrigerant in the
high-temp generator can flow into a condenser through this valve.)
5) Check if the purge valve NO.4 for heating is closed correctly.
6) Press the operation button, then chilled/hot water pump works automatically and burner starts
combustion.
7) Lift up the switch of absorption solution pump in the control panel to operate an absorption
solution pump. Press the stop button when a burner starts combustion to perform a dilution
operation. The absorption solution pump continues to work during dilution operation. If dilution
operation ends and the absorption solution pump stops working, close the cooling/heating
conversion D valve and repeat 6) ~ 7) step.
8) Open the cooling/heating conversion D valve to refill absorption solution into the high-temp
generator until absorption solution pump stops automatically (up to the proper level).
9) Close the cooling/heating conversion D valve when LED of solution relay 33AL 1 is turned off
and the absorption solution pump stops to work automatically.
10) Lift down the switch of absorption solution pump and operate a chiller-heater according to the
heating procedure.
11) Measure the amount of fuel supplied into a burner to check if rated amount of heat is supplied.

12) Check a chiller-heater.

Heating conversion task of a chiller-heater with hot water heat exchanger is done as described
above. If absorption solution is not sufficiently refilled into the high-temp generator, ‘HIGH
TEMP. GEN SOLUTION LEVEL LOW’ or ‘TEMPERATURE HIGH’, ‘PRESSURE HIGH’
can occur.
※ Close a valve fully because a loosely closed cooling/heating conversion valve causes the same
result above.

7-1 Daily repairing and inspection

1) Inspection of each part.
Contact us when you find any abnormal situation as below.
① Does it smell gas around a chiller-heater?
② Is there any unusual noise when a burner is firing?
③ Is a link of burner is detached or so loose as to slip?
④ Is there any unusual noise in an absorption solution pump, a refrigerant pump, a ventilator for
burner?
Check subsidiary facilities below and take proper measures if necessary.
① Cleanness of a strainer for cooling water system and a cooling tower
② Distribution of cooling water in cooling tower.
③ Air exhaust in water pipe.
2) Writing down the operation data
Write down the operation data at the regular intervals during the operation to know the state of a
chiller-heater. (1 ~ 2 hours interval) Data is written and saved by the hour in MICOM by default.
( Time interval can be altered. Refer to menu instruction for time setting) But since pressure of
high-temp generator, chilled water, cooling water and the amount of gas consumption are not
written , writing down the data will be useful in A/S, regular inspection , recovery from failure or
error prevention.
7-2 Regular inspection.
Regular inspection such as purge task, management of absorption solution and combustion device
are needed to operate a machine effectively and maintain the expected life span.
※Inspecting connection between electrical parts(which are inside a panel) is needed 1 or 2
times per year.
It is convenient to use the maintenance contract.

refrigerant at the beginning of trial operation or during cooling operation. When absorption
solution in an absorber flows into an evaporator or from low-temp generator to a condenser during
trial operation or cooling operation, refrigerant gets heavy resulting in lowering the cooling power.
Blow-down task should be performed in this case.
51

7. Repairing and inspection LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0
Blow-down causes chilled refrigerant to flow in an absorber, thus the temperature of dilute solution
in an absorber gets down. This absorption solution (dilute solution) moves to high-temp generator
via low-temp and high-temp heat exchanger. Refrigerant is heated and then vaporized in a high-
temp generator, this refrigerant vapor will be refined into pure refrigerant through a condenser.
If the temperature of high-temp generator is very high during blow-down task, crystallization can
occur while chilled dilute solution exchanges heat with condensed solution. Because density of
absorption solution in low-temp heat exchanger has already been high. Thus the temperature of
high-temp generator is proper at about 110 ~ 120℃. And if the temperature of high-temp generator
is very low, the amount of refrigerant can be small resulting in poor blow-down. In this case it is
desirable to raise the temperature of high-temp generator.

③Check if the temperature of high-temp

④When the temperature of high-temp generator is about less than 120℃, click a cursor from the
main menu of MICOM to the manual operation menu, then AUTO and MANUAL of refrigerant
pump appears. Selecting MANUAL here stops the refrigerant pump.
⑤Open blow-down valve(cooling/heating conversion B valve) to start blow-down.
⑥When blow-down starts, refrigerant moves to an absorber through a blow-down valve and the
amount of refrigerant in an evaporator is reduced. When the amount of refrigerant gets down to
the level of blow-down valve, being checked through the inspection window, then close the blow-
down valve.
⑦Select < manual operation menu> in the main menu of MICOM to convert the refrigerant pump to

do not stop the refrigerant pump. If refrigerant pump stops in auto mode, then convert to MANUAL
mode before putting it into operation. (when the temperature of chilled water is getting down causing
MICOM to be in auto mode, refrigerant pump stops automatically, thus be cautious of the low
temperature of chilled water.)
⑥when blow-down task is terminated, open a control valve in turn up to more than 70%, then convert
to AUTO mode. (it is the same task as Figure above 8-3-1.)

8. Purge LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0
8. Purge
It is a task of discharging air or non-condensed gas out of a chiller-heater through a purge pump.
Inflow of air or hydrogen gas generated inside diminishes the performance and does a chiller-
heater harm. Therefore a task of discharging gas or air is absolutely needed. This task is referred to
as purge. It is desirable to perform purge, at least, 1 time per week for the main body and 2~3 times
for storage tank.
8-1 When to perform purge
It is good to perform purge during or before operation in cooling, however the best during cooling
operation.
In heating, it is performed absolutely before operation. Even while operation has stopped, it
should be performed only when the temperature of high-temp generator or main body is low. It
should not be performed immediately after or during operation.
8-2 Purge frequency
Purge is an important task which has an influence on the performance and life span of machine.
In cooling, it is performed more than 1 time per week for main body and 2~3 times per week for
storage tank. In heating, 1~2 times per month for main body only. During about 1-2 months after
initial operation, purge should be performed regularly.

8-4-1 Principle of purge
Purge is a task of discharging non-condensed gas out of main body.
Absorption solution reacts on the internal surface of main body, producing non-condensed gas or H2.
Hydrogen gas and air left inside main body should be discharged, which makes pressure stable for
the normal cooling and heating operation.

①Absorption solution flows from absorption solution pump to header of storage tank.
②Absorption solution is filtered by porous plate(a plate with small holes—used as a filter ) and is
injected down from the nozzle, which acts as an orifice to make air pressure at the end of nozzle
lower than surrounding air pressure. Air of ⑥ goes down in the direction ② with absorption
solution, being diluted together.
③Vapor bubble diluted with absorption solution is put together in storage tank, on the other hand air
and non-condensed gas gather in a purge tank along the piping. This non-condensed gas gathered in
a tank is to be discharged when purge for storage tank is performed. Therefore air bubble is not
produced when absorption solution pump does not work.
④ Absorption solution gathered in a storage tank returns to an absorber of main body when it gets
at the level of piping of ④.

8-4-2 Purge task
1) How to read a manometer.
Safety issue in using a manometer
A manometer consists of a glass tube of U shape filled with mercury. If other foreign material or
liquid gets in, it is expanded in vacuum. Then a mercurial column can be broken or air can get in on
the right side causing a manometer to be useless. Left side in a glass tube of U shape should always
be lower than right side Read off the difference between upper and lower value based on ‘0’ at rear
side of a manometer and find the sum of both.
As shown in Figure8-5, read off the both ends of mercurial column and then find the sum of both.

2) Preliminaries for purge

① Press ‘Operation’ of manual switch on the control panel to put a purge pump into operation.
② When a purge pump starts working, firstly open a gas ballast valve a little to hear working sound.
Then keep it open always a little for use. Air flows into a gas ballast valve at this moment and is
discharged from an outlet of a purge pump. So if you block a gas ballast valve with your finger,
you will feel air flowing in rapidly. In case oil often flows backward and no more air flows in
after a purge pump stops, vacuum inside might be broken. Then close the gas ballast valve and
open it little by little for use.
③ Check the oil level in a purge pump.
④ Supplement oil when the level of oil is low. Refill oil while
Optimum level of oil
purge pump is still working. The optimum oil level is the
red scale on the inspection window.
⑤ Too much oil, that is, oil level goes over 1/2~2/3, should be
discharged by opening an oil drain valve. Inspection window of purge pump
⑥ When the color of oil is examined and oil is regarded as Figure 9-6 Inspection window for oil
contaminated seriously, stop a purge pump and open an oil
drain valve to replace all of them. When oil is mixed with water and looks milky, it makes a
purge pump to perform no-load operation. No-load operation discharges water out of oil,
cleaning oil and drying a trap, an absorbing hose and pipes used for purge automatically to
improve the performance of purge pump. (no-load operation usually takes about 2~3 hours even
though it depends on.)
⑦ Read off the scale of manometer with a purge valve opened.
⑧ If it is less than 4mmHg, vacuum level in purge pump is very good. On the contrary, if it is more
than 4mmHg, that is very poor level of vacuum, another 10 minute of no-load operation will
lower the vacuum level less than 4mmHg. If this does not work, oil and water in trap of upper
part of purge pump and absorbing hose of pump inlet should be discharged. In case a liquid trap
is attached, open a drain stopper on the lower part of a trap with spanner to discharge oil and
water. Check if a purge valve NO.1 is closed, then open a stopper of trap with purge pump
stopped to discharge oil. When it is made of transparent hose, check oil in hose, then tilt it
toward an inlet of purge pump to pour oil into it. It is not necessary to stop purge pump for
discharging oil in a transparent hose.
⑨ When nothing failed above, start a purge task.

8-5 Managing oil in purge pump

Use vacuum pump oil, MR – 200 or ULTRA-200 if possible. When using other oil than this, use any
oil with the viscosity of 200. Seriously contaminated oil should be all replaced. Specially, when
absorption solution flows into a purge pump, replace all oil and clean the inside of it. Discharge oil
through drain valve to clean it. When oil is all taken out, close the drain valve and fill it with water
through an oil inlet up to the half of oil inspection. Operate a purge pump for about 20~30 minutes
to perform no-load operation. Stop the purge pump to discharge water through a drain valve. Then
supplement oil to terminate the cleaning task of purge pump.
8-6 Purge in cooling

It is desirable to perform purge in cooling during operation. It is because non-condensed gas
gathers in a storage tank during operation. Purge can be performed for a low-temperatured main
body before the operation of storage tank and main body. However, when purge is performed for a
high-temperatured main body or during dilution operation, lots of refrigerant vapor comes from the
main body and goes into a purge pump, doing purge pump harm. As a result, refrigerant
consumption increases.
8-6-1 Purge for main body in cooling
Purge for main body is performed usually when the pressure of main body is high in cooling, air gets
58
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
into a main body (urgent purge) or before heating operation. And it is also performed in
cooling/heating conversion and regular purge.
Air in the main body gathers automatically in a storage tank and purge tank. However because a
storage tank can’t absorb completely non-condensed gas, it is much helpful for the performance and
life of machine to practice purge for 20~30 minutes, 1~2 times per week through the main body.
If the pressure of main body is high, then the temperature of high-temp generator is also getting high,
causing “temperature high” or “density high”.
Crystallization can occur with ease due to the bad flow of absorption solution and the temperature of
chilled water won’t get low easily. Purge for main body absorbs gas in purge pump and discharges it
out of a chiller-heater. Thus refrigerant is consumed little by little but it has little influence on the
operation.

① Put a purge pump into operation, open the purge valve NO.1. And close the purge valve NO.1

8-6-2 Purge for storage tank in cooling

Purge of storage tank is performed mainly in cooling. In heating, open the storage valve (NO.2) and
do not perform purge. When the pressure inside main body is high, absorption solution in a storage
tank occasionally comes through a purge pump. Especially when the pressure of main body is more
than 40mmHg, never open the storage tank valve. If air gets in or pressure is high in cooling, then
perform purge for main body first.
In performing storage tank purge, a storage tank absorbs non-condensed gas or air in the main body
before purge, thus little refrigerant is consumed. Air bubble gathers only during operation. This
collection can’t occur at more than a specific pressure and for too much bubble. So purge should be
performed on occasion. (more than 1 time per day)

⑦ Close the valve NO.3, then check if the scale of manometer is less than 4mmHg.
⑧ Open the storage valve NO.2 and perform purge for about 1~2 minutes.
⑨ Close the valve NO.2. (perform purge until it is equal to the pressure of main body, then close
the valve.)
⑩ Check if the scale of manometer indicates less than 4mmHg.
⑪ Close the valve NO.1.
⑫ Check if the purge valve NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 all are closed.
⑬ Stop the purge pump.
Simple purge above is a simplified procedure. It is used for regular purge, general purge or when there
is nothing wrong after checking. But under the high pressure in the main body, perform purge longer
than 20 minutes until it reaches the permitted vacuum level before operation.
And simple purge should not be used to get the precise pressure in the main body. Normal purge, that
is purge of main body or purge for storage tank should be used for this.
8-7 Purge in heating

Purge in heating is performed regularly. Once per month and only for the main body. Above all, be
aware that purge should not be performed while the high-temp generator and the main body are
hot. Heating operation uses heat of refrigerant vapor. Therefore, the main body is filled with
refrigerant vapor during the heating operation. If purge is performed at this time, refrigerant vapor in
the main body is all discharged through the purge
pump and the purge pump is filled with When the purge valve for

disturbing the operation.
Supposing purge for storage tank is performed at
this time, the inside of main body gets hot and the
pressure in the main body is at least more than
40mmHg due to the pressure of refrigerant vapor,
thus absorption solution in storage tank goes up,
then flows into the purge pump. Absorption

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
therefore purge for storage tank shouldn’t be done in heating if possible.

Purge in heating is the most suitable when internal temperature is low. It can be also well performed
when the temperature of high-temp generator is less than 40℃ and a user feels cool when touching
the body. The lower the temperature inside the main body and the high-temp generator, the better. It is
desirable to close a valve of hot water piping for preventing hot water from flowing into a chiller-
heater and to lower the temperature of hot water circulating inside.
Purge in heating produces much condensed solution inside manometer due to the condensation of
refrigerant vapor, which causes a mercurial column to be broken or foreign material to flow in. As a
result, manometer will be out of order, therefore a service valve of manometer should be closed in
cooling conversion. Pressure inside the main body can’t be read off the manometer during heating
operation. A user has to open a service valve of manometer to know the pressure inside the main body.
(※ Note: Do not open a service valve if possible.)

LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0 9. Crystal and crystal dissolution
9. Crystal and crystal dissolution

Crystallization means that absorption solution changes from liquid state to solid state.
It occurs mainly in cooling operation. Almost no crystallization will occur in heating because a heat
exchanger is not used and overall temperature and density are low.
9-1 Crystallization
It is caused by the high density or the high temperature of absorption solution. Crystallization prevents
a chiller-heater from cooling and causes errors; “HIGH TEMP. GEN PRESSURE HIGH” or “HIGH
TEMP. GEN TEMPERATURE HIGH”, therefore inspect a chiller-heater at any time to check
crystallization.
MICOM of a chiller-heater has a program to avoid crystallization and it drives a crystallization
avoidance operation. However a chiller-heater does not detect crystallization by itself and instead it
performs just a crystallization avoidance operation. Therefore, it is a user that makes decision on
crystallization.
9-1-1 Cause of crystallization

Crystallization occurs when the temperature of cooling water is too low or the density of absorption
solution is too high.
1) When the temperature of cooling water is too low
When the temperature of cooling water is too low, condensed absorption solution coming from a
low-temp generator exchanges heat with low temperatured absorption solution (dilute solution),
already exchanged heat with cooling water and the temperature of absorption solution goes below
the crystallization point, crystallization occurs. When the temperature of cooling water is too low,
MICOM of a chiller-heater closes the control valve on the basis of the inlet temperature of cooling
water to prevent crystallization. But if the temperature of high-temp generator is already high and
the density of absorption solution is high, it is not easy to prevent crystallization. Thus it is
recommended to maintain always the temperature of cooling water between 28℃ and 32℃.
2) When the temperature of cooling water is too high
Crystallization can occur, even when the temperature of cooling water is too high. Theoretically,
crystallization won’t occur when the temperature of absorption solution is high. If the high
temperature of cooling water makes that of absorption solution high, the temperature of absorption
goes up in the low-temp heat exchanger which is the most condensed. Consequently, crystallization
won’t occur. However, high temperature of cooling water lifts up the overall pressure of a chiller-
heater. As a result, the temperature and the pressure of high-temp generator go up more. It results in
making the density of absorption solution higher. Reduced pressure difference between a low-temp
generator and an absorber disturbs a smooth flow of absorption solution.
63
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
9. Crystal and crystal dissolution LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0
Finally, absorption solution stays for a long time in a low-temp heat exchanger and its density gets
high. And reduced absorption power in absorber causes crystallization. It results from mainly
trouble of a cooling tower. It is necessary to maintain a cooling tower against water shortage of
cooling tower or malfunction of cooling tower.
Inlet temperature of cooling water has so much influence on a chiller-heater that sufficient amount
of oil and temperature maintenance are necessary.
3) In case of air inflow or bad purge. (in case pressure inside a chiller-heater is high)
Crystallization can occur easily when the pressure inside a chiller-heater is high. That is, when air
gets in or non-condensed gas gathers in machine owing to lack of purge, flow of absorption solution
is not smooth and its density gets high, which causes crystallization easily. It is necessary to check
the pressure inside a chiller-heater and perform purge if needed. And for leakage, it is also
necessary to find the leaking part.
4) In case of cooling water flux shortage
Crystallization can also occur when cooling water flux is short. The reason for crystallization under
cooling water flux shortage is same as the 3 cases above. Cooling water flux shortage makes so large
a temperature difference between the normal inlet and the outlet that flow of absorption solution is
not smooth. Cooling water flux should be sufficient.
5) In case absorption solution is circulated badly or is short
When a damper which controls cooling cycle of a chiller-heater is too widely opened or closed
causing a bad flow of absorption solution, crystallization occurs. It is the same as for absorption
solution shortage. If a damper (dilute solution, intermediate solution, condensed solution) of a
chiller-heater is too widely opened, then ON/OFF operation of absorption solution pump occurs
frequently, solution level of high-temp generator goes up but absorber will be empty later and finally
absorption solution is not supplement timely. On the contrary, when it is too much closed, absorption
solution is not well supplemented. And it causes the temperature and the pressure of high-temp
generator to go high and further errors.
9-1-2 Symptoms of crystallization

Crystallization makes no temperature difference between the chilled water inlet and outlet and the
chilled water temperature is getting higher. The temperature of high-temp generator continues to rise
up and the density of absorption solution also continues to get up. And refrigerant level of evaporator
get higher than usual and the temperature difference between cooling water inlet and outlet is also
reduced. And the temperature of piping, which goes low-temp generator through low-temp heat
exchanger and low-temp heat exchanger through absorber, is not normal. (refer to the dhuring
diagram) and over flow piping gets hot. (for the model in a large scale, temperature of 3 points of H
piping can be all identical.)
64
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
Or no-load operation of absorption solution pump makes noise and the temperature and the pressure
of high-temp generator gets high sounding a buzzer and finally stops it automatically.
Crystallization can be judged on the basis of the conditions above.
9-2 Crystal dissolution procedure
There are several methods for dissolving crystal.
9-2-1 Low combustion operation
Close a control valve in manual mode to perform a low combustion operation. It is the easiest
method. Low combustion operation lowers the overall density of absorption solution and dissolves
crystal except when crystallization is not intense. After about 20 minutes ~ 1 hour of low combustion
operation, convert a control valve to auto mode to perform a normal operation.
9-2-2 Blow-down
The secondly easiest method is to perform blow-down.
Performing blow-down 2 or 3 times dissolves crystal. Refer to 8-3 Blow-down for blow-down task.
It is necessary to perform a low combustion operation thoroughly while performing blow-down.
9-2-3 Heating with torch
The third one is to heat a low-temp heat exchanger, a piping linking a low-temp heat exchanger with
an absorber and another piping going down from a low-temp generator to a low-temp heat
exchanger with torch or other heating instruments.
Oxyfuel gas welder which has a very strong flame shouldn’t be used. Steam or torch is the most
suitable. (be very cautious of burn or fire by torch or steam. And be aware that sensors or power line

10. Managing combustion device

For the safety, it is necessary to perform the regular inspection and repairing once per 6 months at
least. Inspecting and repairing a combustion device requires a specialized knowledge, make the
best use of the maintenance and repairing contract.
10-1 Gas leakage check
Check a gas leakage at the external gas piping and the cut-off valve NO.2 to prevent an accident
in advance. For checking an outward leakage, apply air pressure inside a piping at the installation
to see the pressure up/down and use soapy water at the same time.
10-2 Accidental fire test
Check the operation of safety device against an accidental fire in firing or during combustion by
flame monitoring device. Check it when flame sensing signal comes out of flame detector.
10-3 Insulation resistance measure
Measure insulation resistance of electric system for preventing malfunction of the cut-off valve
by grounding.
10-4 Air fuel ratio check
Check if CO is much generated by combustion, or measure CO, CO₂, O₂by means of waste
gas analysis for maintaining the high combustion efficiency. Inspect an angle and a link of fuel
control valve and air damper for maintaining a good air fuel ratio at each combustion part.
10-5 Burner check
Check a burner head, nozzle, cone and so on that are exposed to high temperature in combustion.
10-6 Others
Check the ignition and combustion state of a pilot burner or a main ignition burner.

④ Close the purge valve NO.3.
⑤ Close the service valve and cover it with a cap.
11-2-2 Caution
Never open the purge valve NO.1, 2 while discharging nitrogen gas. Operate a ventilation
fan while discharging for better exhaust. When the exhaust is poor in an airtight space,
suffocation can occur due to the lack of oxygen.
And after discharging nitrogen, normal vacuum state should be made by purge task to enable
cooling or heating operation. Otherwise, that is, if a user operates a machine under air
pressure state with no purge after discharging nitrogen, it causes crystallization or HIGH
TEMP GEN PRESSURE HIGH and other problem.

12-1 Water quality control (chilled/hot water, cooling water)
If bad quality water is used in a chiller-heater, it produces scale in the tube lowering the
performance and efficiency of a chiller-heater and further causes corrosion and rupture,
finally reducing the life of machine. Water quality control and regular inspection on tube and
tube cleaning are needed.
On the other hand, if make-up water of cooling water is mixed with purified water or a
cooling tower is installed in an air polluted place (around chimney), water quality is getting
worse. Especially when concrete heat reservoir is used, bad scale is caused by compounds of
calcium. Be very cautious of that.

2. Example of water treatment

Even though make-up water for cooling water lies within the water quality standard value, water
quality gets bad when circulated cooling water is condensed. Therefore water treatment is needed as
below. Refer to the Figure below for water handling considering it depends on chilled water/hot
water. In particular, be very cautious when using concrete heat reservoir.
① Blow-down
●Regular or consecutive blow-down ●Blow-down based on the conductivity analysis
② Anticorrosive injection

12-2 Water quality control for long term stoppage

When chilled water, cooling water and hot water is not circulated for a long period, refer to
the principle below for water quality control.
1. Cooling water system
Make it a rule to fill a machine to the full in storing cooling water system.
But in case cooling water in machine is in danger of being frozen, dry the inside of a
tube (water tank) to store. Opening and closing a valve depends on filling storage and
drying storage each.
*Filling storage
① Discharge circulated water during operation through a drain pipe.
② Inject anticorrosive.
71

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
12. Repairing and maintaining water system LGE-ABS-Double EN/Ver. 2.0
- Check flux and inject a proper amount of water according to the mixture ratio.
③ Fill a piping with fresh water.
④ Operate a cooling water pump for a while to mix anticorrosive evenly.
⑤ Close a cooling water inlet valve (cut-off valve of piping).
⑥ Open the cooling/heating conversion D valve of main body.
*Drying storage
- Clean the inside of tube and form an anticorrosive film before drying storage.
① Discharge circulated water during operation through a drain pipe for cooling water.
② Clean the inside of a tube to remove scale and slime.
- Perform a chemical cleaning in addition when a mechanical cleaning is not sufficient.
③ Clean the inside of a tube thoroughly, inject anticorrosive and fill it with water.
④ Operate a cooling water pump for more than 30 minutes to mix anticorrosive
completely.
⑤ Discharge water, open cooling water drain valve and store it with the drain valve
opened.
2. Chilled water/hot water system
The filling storage is a rule.
12-3 Countermeasure in winter season

various countermeasures are needed to prevent freezing when the surrounding temperature of
chiller-heater gets below 0℃. Keep on a heating operation (use the scheduled operation feature in
MICOM to operate a chiller-heater at specific time intervals) or keep a chilled water pump
working to prevent freezing. And with drying storage for cooling water system, keep a cooling
water drain valve opened to fill a water tank with solidified water or others, which prevents
freezing. Antifreezing solution should be used when filling storage is done for cooling water
system. However, since facilities condition depends on the site, consult with our service center for
further information.

13. Troubleshooting
Precede followings,
1) Check error messages.
2) Click ‘Help’ in MICOME menu and check the massages it provides.
3) Check out the part which ‘Help’ messages indicate.
4) In case of emergency, give first-aid treatment, first.
5) Inspect the state of chiller-heater and other peripheral devices (Pressure, Temperature).
13-1 High-temp generator errors

13-1-1 HIGH TEMP GEN PRESSURE HIGH
1) Symptom
The pressure is over 0kg/㎠ and the temperature is over 165℃. The refrigerant overflow
(comparing with standard level) and the temperature of chilled water may not cooled down
normally. If this problem goes on, crystal can be formed easily. When it’s not operated normally,
chiller-heater may stop automatically with staring dilution operation. It makes burner stop, and it
makes the pressure down in high-temp generator. Pumps of chiller-heater and cooling water stop
in order.
2) Causes (In case of Chiller-Heater)

①Temperature of the cooling water inlet is too high.
②Crystal is formed.
③The amount of exhausted gas applying to chiller-heater is too much – when it is over supplied.
(comparing with standard amount.)
④Cooling cycle is not appropriate.
⑤Absorption solution is not supplemented to the high-temp generator
3) Troubleshooting
If you drop the pressure, problems with high-tmep generator may be solved automatically. When
it has no special problem, press Cancel button and inspect the peripheral devices after stopping
operation, then reset the machine.
1 The cooling tower which doesn’t work properly causes problems. Check if the temperature of
○
cooling tower is set precisely in MICOM, and set the temperature as a standard value
(Operation– 32℃, Stop – 28℃). Check if the automatic switch of the MCC panel works
properly. If it is in a manual mode, convert it to automatic mode. Check the cooling tower
automatic switch of the panel is in automatic mode normally. If it is in manual mode, convert it
to automatic mode. If the cooling tower setting is operated by thermostat or the other devices,

inspect the appropriate parts.

2 When you find out crystals, melt them down. (Refer to crystal dissolution)
○
3 Measure the gas (oil) wastage, and contact our service center or the burner company.

4 If everything above is all right, the cooling cycle has a key problem. Contact with our service
○
center.
5 At first, inspect if the absorption solution pump is rotating properly. Then, check the
○
circulating system from absorption solution to high-temp generator.
13-1-2 HIGH TEMP GEN TEMPERATURE HIGH
1) Symptom
Same problems may occur with PRESSURE HIGH error in the high-temp generator. The pressure
of high-temp generator may be over 0kg/㎠, and the refrigerant may overflow. Finally it stops
operating in the same way as PRESSURE HIGH error of high-temp generator.
2) Possible Causes
Cause is the same as that of ‘PRESSURE HIGH error of high-temp generator’ (Except ⑤ of 2)
and 3) in 14-1-1)
3) Troubleshooting
The procedure is the same as 14-1-1. The temperature of high-temp generator may falls down after
dilution operating. Then malfunction state may be canceled automatically. Operate the abnormal stop,
and press ‘Cancel button’. Then inspect the peripheral devices, and operate the chiller-heater.
13-1-3 SOLUTION LEVEL LOW
1) Symptom
Absorption solution pump performs no-load operation or malfunction because the absorber is empty.
Because the surface of high-temp generator is getting lower, it causes the problems. It makes chiller-
heater to stop. Absorption solution pump may be operated continuously during dilution operation
until the surface come back to the normal level.
2) Cause
① Malfunction of the absorption solution or its abnormal discharge may cause these problems.
② In case that surface relay is defective, a high-temp generator may be out of order even though the
solution seems to be full enough in the inspection window.
③In case of inferior electrode, it causes the devices malfunction like the ② above.
3) Troubleshooting
1 Check if the operating state of absorption solution pump and see if the surface is empty. If the
○
pump of absorption solution doesn’t work properly, the surface relay may cause the problem. Check
if the pump of absorption solution works properly. If the pump works properly, inspect the surface of
74
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
the absorber. When the surface is getting lower continuously, you can expect that there is crystal or
that a cooling cycle must be abnormal. Perform crystal dissolution process first, and if the problem
goes on, contact our service center.
2 Check the contact state of the surface relay.

○
3 Check the contact state of electrode.
○
If you find out the problems above, it is the best way to contact our service center.
13-2 Error in all sorts of temperature sensor system

13-2-1 OOOOO TEMP SENSOR ABNL
1) Symptom
‘(All kinds of) Sensor Name + Temperature Sensor Errors’ shows up on message window. The
temperature ‘0 or 388.8℃’ or ‘–40 or 140℃’ is displayed on the temperature window of
abnormal temperature sensor. Some sensors can still work and it depends on the type of sensor.
Generally chiller-heater may stop, or can not work. For the option type sensor, it can work even
when it has this kind of problems.
2) Cause
①Short circuit or disconnection of each sensor.
②Resistance value is unstable because of a shock.
③The main board can not read the resistance value.
④The sensor’s type is not set properly.
3) Troubleshooting
①The sensor should be changed.
②Inspect or change the main board.
3 You can set the sensor on the subordinated part on the system menu in Menu window. Change the
○
setting of the sensor you are not using from ‘Use’ to ‘No Use’. When the problems go on after the
sensor is installed, contact our service center.
※You can operate the machine for a while with emergency measures, but it is so dangerous
that you should operate the machine after proper measures.
13-3 Error in chilled, hot water system

13-3-1 CHLD WATER PUMP INTERLOCK ABNL
1) Symptom
It stops immediately when chilled water pump interlock gets malfunction. All the pumps of chiller-
heater include absorber pump and burner stop working. At this time, only dilution operation time
may be run. It can be frozen to burst when high-temp generator is high and chiller inlet’s temperature
75
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
is low while normal operating. In this case, emergency measures are needed because it is seriously
dangerous.
When you try to start operating, the chiller-heater will not get started with the message ‘Check
chilled water pump’.
2) Cause
①When a chilled water pump stops working suddenly while operating.
②When a user converts a chilled water pump ‘MAN’ to ‘AUTO’ in a moment while the chiller-
heater is operating.
③When the wire of chilled water pump interlock is not well connected, or the signal is not sent.
3) Troubleshooting
In this case, it’s seriously dangerous, restart the cooled water pump immediately regardless of the
state of chiller-heater. Especially when the temperature of the high-temp generator is high, and the
temperature of cooled water is low (below 10℃), you have to make the cooled water flow into
chiller-heater with all methods. And you have to keep the cooling water from flowing in any case,
even the cooling water stops flowing when it is abnormal (when it is automatic mode). (When it is
manual mode, you should stop the cooling water pump.) However it is not dangerous that much
when the temperature of cooled water is high, and the temperature of high-temp generator is
low(below 80℃). But remember that chilled water should be circulated, and cooling water should
not be flowing. When the main pump of chilled water is malfunctioned, get started immediately
auxiliary pump to flow chilled water to chiller-heater. If impossible, open the cooling/heating
conversion valve A and C to stop the cooling operation, and open the chilled water drain valve to
drain water of inner part of water tank and make chilled water flow into the chiller-heater. Being
frozen to burst makes rapid progress in following three conditions. The three facts (the
temperature of high-temp generator is high, the temperature of chilled water is low and the
absorbing power of absorber is strong while cooling water is flowing through absorber.) make
rapid being frozen to burst progress. While operating, be careful as much as you can not to make
above three conditions to prevent from being frozen to burst.
①When chilled water pump stops working, restart the system after you find out causes and take
proper measures. When the chilled water main pump is out of order, get started to operate
auxiliary pump after inspecting pipe for chilled water to check if circulation is normal. At that time
the auxiliary pump must be in ‘MAN’ or ‘AUTO’ mode, then reset the chiller-heater system. If
there is no switch or relay to convert a main pump to an auxiliary pump, you must install it.
2 Never change chilled water pump mode while operating. If it is converted, return to its previous
○
mode immediately and restart with following two ways. Turn off the power of MICOME and turn
it on again, then restart the chiller-heater. The other way is that restart chiller-heater after chiller-
76
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
heater stops completely and convert manual mode to automatic mode.

③Check if the contact point operates normally when the pump get started. If the contact point of
chilled water is normal, the main board may be defective. In this case contact us.
13-3-2 CHLD WATER FLUX LOW
1) Symptom
When the chilled water flux is not enough, chiller-heater stops immediately and operates like when
chiller-heater is malfunctioned. It is also seriously dangerous. It is more emergency state than
chilled water pump interlock error. When you have started operating, you can only find out the
message saying ‘Check if chilled water is enough’, it may not work until flux is enough to flow
normally.
2) Cause
①When chilled water can not flow normally and the flux is not enough. When a chilled water pump
doesn’t work properly and it causes no-load operation or when bearing is damaged.
②When there is air in pipes and it interrupt chilled water flowing.
③When the chilled water pipe valve or valve of chilled water head is locked, it interrupts the normal
circulation.
④When the differential pressure valve of By-pass pipe doesn’t work properly, or By-pass valve of
pipe is not handled properly.
⑤When the flux pressure control switch or the flow switch of chiller-heater is malfunctioned and the
control is abnormal.
⑥When flux doesn’t flow instantaneously after chilled water pump gets started (when flux is
changed).
3) Troubleshooting
1 Check the pipe for supplying water in chilled water pipe. Check if the drain valve among pipe
○
lines is open or broken and it causes a water leakage or not, then close the valve or fill up the
water through the supplying water pump. Check if the pump works normally and any other pumps
operate regardless of the chiller-heater you are operating. If the pump is malfunctioned, convert to
auxiliary pump. If a pump is working regardless of the chiller-heater you are operating, modify the
condition.
2 Get rid of the air using the air vent of chilled water pipe or any other devices.
○
3 Open the valve of chilled water pipe or vale of chilled water header. Especially be aware not to
○
close the header valve even though you are not using air handling unit or other FCU, because it
causes flux shortage. Open all these valves.
4 When there is a pressure regulating valve in chilled water header or a 3-way valve in FCU, check
○
if these valves are normal by manometer test and other methods. Then if the valves are not normal,
77
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
replace, repair or adjust them.

5 If above (1) ~ (4) checking point are all normal, the flow switch is malfunctioned or not set
○
properly. Contact us and get proper troubleshooting. The chilled water flow switch and the
differential pressure control switch are immediate causes of serious accident such as being frozen
to burst problem, so you should not control them as you please.
6 If there is a fall or change in pressure after operating chiller water pump, the flow switch can stop
○
in an instant or differential pressure control switch can be malfunctioned due to the decrease of
pressure difference. That means when you operate two and more chiller-heater and chilled water
pipe is laying to header, these problems occur easily. So change the facilities or find out and solve
the problems that cause the flux change to flow flux regularly.
13-3-3 CHLD WATER TEMPERATURE LOW
1) Symptom
As the temperature of chilled water falls to almost set up value, chiller-heater close the control
valve automatically in proportion to the chilled water temperature to maintain the temperature.
When the temperature is lower than -1.5℃comparing with the set up value, refrigerant pump may
stop. When chilled water is too low (lower than 2.5℃ comparing with set value of chiller-heater),
chiller-heater shows the message saying’ CHILLED WATER TEMPERATURE LOW’, and
sounds an alarm buzzer, and stops automatically. At this time refrigerant pump stops automatically,
so sometimes you can see the ice made of refrigerant through the evaporator window. Users can
modify the set-up value above.
2) Cause
①When the chilled water is too low, cooling load is so small that cooling cycle has formed already
even though the chiller-heater controls the temperature. That is why the low temperature causes
the problem.
②When you decrease the cooling load at once (air handling unit and FCU) while normal operating,
cooling load may be decreased suddenly. Then chiller-heater can not catch up the gap.
Furthermore if the chilled water temperature falls, the problems occur.
3) Troubleshooting
To solve ①, ② above, increase the cooling load by operating air handling unit or FCU if chilled
water temperature falls too much.
It is not serious that refrigerant is frozen when you look out the evaporator inspection window, but
it causes bursting easily. That’s why the chilled water pump must not stop working. The refrigerant
ice may be melted immediately by operating refrigerant for a moment in ‘MAN’ mode. (But when
chilled water temperature is too low and refrigerant pump stops automatically, do not operate
refrigerant pump in a manual mode. In other words, it is the best way to leave refrigerant in stop
state.)

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
13-3-4 CHLD WATER FLUX SENSOR ABNL

1) Symptom
Only for the machine with chilled water flux sensor, this kind of problems occur. Stop the operation
immediately in the same way as the chilled water flux low error in 13-3-2.
2) Cause
When the chilled water flux sensor gets malfunctioned or flux is abnormal, it causes the flux sensor
to work.
3) Troubleshooting
Find out and troubleshoot the causes of chilled water flux sensor operating. Take measures in the
same way as 14-3-2.
13-3-5 ①CHLD WATER PUMP INTERLOCK JUMPED

②CHLD WATER FLUX INTERLOCK JUMPED
1) Symptom
When you operate the chilled water pump in ‘MAN’ mode and try to start chiller-heater, chiller-
heater may not operate with the alarm and alert message. The messages concern the ‘chilled water
pump jump alarm’ or ‘chilled water flux interlock jump alarm’.
2) Cause
Both ① and ② occur when you are operating the chilled water in ‘MAN’ mode or other pump
flows chilled water before operating a chiller-heater. Because the ‘chilled water flux interlock’ and
‘chilled water pump interlock’ on MICOM system menu is set to ‘Use’.
3) Troubleshooting
If the chilled water pump interlock and chilled water flux interlock are set to ‘Use’, you must convert
to ‘No Use’. If you set to ‘Use’, you can operate the chilled water pump in ‘MAN’ mode, but you
can not operate the chiller-heater. Because when the chilled water pump interlock (or chilled water
flux interlock) is set to ‘Use’, the state must be input according to the starting order of chiller-heater.
At this time, convert the chilled water pump state to ‘AUTO’ mode and have the pump of chiller-
heater started.
There is another way, that is, select the system menu on MICOM and input the password (_ _ _ _).
Then set the chilled water pump interlock (chilled water flux interlock) to ‘No Use’. For this
condition only, you can operate manually.
13-4 Error in cooling water system

13-4-1 COOLING WATER INTERLOCK ABNL
1) Symptom
When the cooling water pump stops operating, the chiller-heater stops working with the message
79
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
saying ‘COOLING WATER INTERLOCK ABNL’ and alarm. At this time, the chiller-heater stops
performing dilution operation under abnormal stop.
2) Cause
① It happens if a cooling water pump stops while a chiller-heater is operating.
② It happens if a cooling water pump is turned to ‘AUTO’ from ‘MAN’ mode or ‘MAN’ from ‘AUTO’
mode when chiller-heater is operating.
③ It happens if interlock contact point is bad.
3) Troubleshooting
① Find and remove the cause by which cooling water pump stopped. Thereafter, start up chiller-heater
again.
② A user should not switch cooling water pump to ‘auto’ from ‘manual’ mode or ‘manual’ from ‘auto’
mode. When chiller-heater stopped completely, switch cooling water pump to ‘auto’ mode and start
up chiller-heater again.
③ Check up whether interlock contact point of MCC panel in cooling water pump works according to
the start state of the pump.
13-4-2 COOLING WATER TEMPERATURE LOW

1) Symptom
If it operates over 30 minutes under condition that cooling water’s temperature is below 18℃, a
message of ‘Cooling water’s abnormal low temperature’ is indicated, and buzzer rings, and it stops
doing dilution operation. If it operates for a long time under condition that cooling water’s
temperature is low, it stops automatically to prevent crystallization. (when it operates below the
lowest temperature, 18℃ for more than 30 minutes, the conditions of time and temperature can be
set by a user.)
2) Causes
① It happens if cooling tower keeps on operating due to the wrong setting of cooling tower’s
temperature.
② It happens if it keeps on operating in manual mode of cooling tower.
③ It happens if cooling water’s temperature lowers because the temperature of the outer air is too low
even though cooling tower doesn’t operate. So to speak, it happens when the load is too little.
3) Troubleshooting
① In case of setting up cooling tower’s temperature at chiller-heater, check up whether cooling tower
pan’s stop temperature and start temperature are set rightly on user configuration of MICOM main
menu. If they are wrong, correct them. In case that cooling tower is controlled through thermostat or
DDC panel’s auto-control, check up and correct them.
② Switch cooling tower to auto mode.
80
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
③ If the outer air’s temperature is low and the load is too little, cooling water’s temperature does not
rise because the amount of heat exchange inside chiller-heater is considerably less than the amount
of heat exchange outside cooling tower. In that case, using air handling unit, make natural air
environment without chiller-heater’s operation, or make a bypass to prevent cooling water from
circulating through cooling tower.
13-4-3 COOLING WATER FLUX SENSOR ABNL

1) Symptom
This applies to only machines on which cooling water flux sensor is attached. In this case, it stops in
the same way as in ‘cooling water’s low flux’ of 13-4-5.
2) Cause
The cooling water flux sensor is operating
3) Troubleshooting
Find out the cause and resolve it. Troubleshooting is the same as those of section 13-4-5.
13-4-4① COOLING WATER PUMP INTERLOCK JUMPED

② COOLING WATER FLUX INTERLOCK JUMPED
1) Symptom
Chiller-heater doesn’t operate, and a message of ‘cooling water pump interlock jump alarm’ is
indicated, and buzzer rings.
2) Cause
Cooling water pump operates in manual mode. This is the same as the cause of chilled water
pump/flux interlock alarm of Section 8.
3) Troubleshooting
Set cooling water pump interlock jump alarm and cooling water flux interlock jump alarm to ‘no use’.
13-4-5 COOLING WATER FLUX LOW
(This is optional because flow switch or differential pressure switch is generally not on chiller-heater.)
1) Symptom
If cooling water flux is not sufficient, it stops in the same way as that of cooling water pump interlock
error. In this case, the pressure of cooling water pump shakes or falls. This leads to a rise of chiller-
heater’s inner pressure, and a steep rise of high temperature generator’s pressure comparing to normal
times, and errors of ‘high temperature generator’s high pressure’ and the like. In addition, high
temperature generator’s pressure stays on higher state, and crystallization is likely to happen because
the flow of absorption solution is not smooth.
2) Cause
① It happens if dispersed cooling water is too much because cooling tower’s fan has some trouble, or
81
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
the quantity of filling water is less than that of dispersed cooling water.
② It happens if cooling tower is not sufficiently supplied with filling water, or cooling tower lacks
water on account of the open drain valve of cooling water.
③ It happens if air is mixed on account of cooling water’s low flux inside cooling tower when
cooling water starts up at the beginning.
3) Troubleshooting
① Consult with the manufacturer of cooling tower about the cause of excessive dispersion.
② Check up filling water pipe, valve and so on in order that the supplement goes on smoothly.
③ Check up whether cooling tower’s tank is always filled with water in starting up at the beginning.
13-5 Error in combustion system

13-5-1 BURNER-IGNITION FAILURE
1) Symptom
If burner fails to ignite, it stops, and burner’s PR (protector relay) is lit in red. MICOM not only
displays error message and rings buzzer but also performs dilution operation at the same time.
2) Cause
① It happens mainly when a chiller-heater starts up with a gas valve locked.
② It happens if gas or air is too much at the initial ignition.
③ It happens if flame is not sensed at the ignition.
4 It happens if spark is not generated at the ignition or the pilot.
○
3) Troubleshooting
① Check up all gas valves and open all of them. When all valves become normal, press the PR’s red
button of burner to relieve it, and start up chiller-heater again.
② Check up the flame state after restarting the burner. If it is extinguished as soon as it ignites but its
color is deep red or it blows away to be extinguished, gas is too much. If blue flame flutters to be
extinguished, air is too much. In these cases, contact us so as to get service.
③ A user should check up the flame within 4 seconds after igniting. If you fail to check up, gas valve
is closed and fire is extinguished. If flame sensor is stained with foreign materials, clean it. If flame
sensor is defective, replace it with new one.
④ If it is other than the above, it may be electric leakage or abnormal interval of ignition. In this case,
contact us so as to get service.

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
① It happens if burner system has some trouble before starting up chiller-heater.

② It happens if gas pressure falls when burner is operating normally.
③ It happens if it isn’t ignited on account of imperfect combustion
3) Troubleshooting
① Check up whether PR’s alarm lamp of gas pipe in burner side or other burner is lit on red, and adjust
the abnormal part of gas pipe, and reset PR.
② If gas pressure falls, contact a gas provider to adjust a governor in the main pipe.
③ If it is in imperfect combustion, contact us so as to get service.
13-5-3 EXHAUST-GAS TEMPERATURE HIGH

1) Symptom
when the temperature of waste gas is more than 300℃, a chiller-heater performs a dilution operation
automatically to stop error.
2) Cause
① When gas heat capacity is oversupplied.
② When exhaust is bad at a chimney for waste gas.
③When a temperature sensor for waste gas is defective.
3) Troubleshooting
①When gas heat capacity is oversupplied, the temperature of waster gas gets high abruptly.
Therefore measure the amount of gas to check the oversupply of gas heat capacity and contact our
service center.
②Bad exhaust is caused by a small sized chimney or too many curved parts in chimney. It needs
mending. And the first curved part should begin properly after initial part of chimney straightens
up at least more than 1m. When the height of chimney is too low, natural exhaust can be disturbed.
If it doesn’t work well, compulsory exhaust fan can be installed as an alternative.
③exhaust temperature sensor should be replaced.
13-5-4 BURNER-GAS PRESSURE ABNL
1) Symptom

occurs. The control valve of a burner doesn’t work normally in opening and closing.
2) Cause
①When potential meter of burner is not normal.
②When MICOM main board doesn’t recognize the opening of burner.
3) Troubleshooting
①Abnormal potential meter in control valve motor of burner causes defective input/output signal.
Potential meter should be replaced.
②When an output of resistance value in potential meter is normal, check the terminal contact of
wiring.
13-5-6 ①BURNER-OIL PUMP ABNL
②BURNER-BLOWER ABNL
1) Symptom
Over current flows into a thermal relay of burner oil pump or blower magnet and as a result it is
overloaded. A thermal relay works to stop a burner and a chiller-heater performs the operation
against error.
2) Cause
①When a burner oil pump or motor in blower is overloaded by over current.
②When a thermal relay is badly set.
③When over-current thermal relay of burner doesn’t work normally.
3) Troubleshooting
①Measure the current of an oil pump or a blower during its operation to check if it lies within rated
voltage and current. When an error is found, contact this company.
②If it is lower than rated current, then over current thermal relay doesn’t work normally or rated
current is set low. Accordingly raise the setting.
③The state of contact point is defective. A thermal relay should be replaced.

more, a chiller-heater performs the operation against error.

2) Cause
When ventilation fan stops.
3) Troubleshooting
Find the reason why ventilation fan doesn’t work and take proper measures. When there is no
ventilation fan, wiring must be missing. Check it also for troubleshooting (※Check it at SVC of this
company in the trial run.)
13-5-8 ①NO SIGNAL-BURNER BLWR
②NO OPERATION SIGNAL-BURNER BLWR
1) Symptom
If air pressure signal or operation signal is not input while a burner is operating, an alarm message
is just displayed and a chiller-heater works normally.
2) Cause
When air pressure switch of burner or magnet of blower doesn’t work normally.
3) Troubleshooting
State signal for air pressure switch should be output when blower is working and state signal for
blower operation should be output when a blower with magnet is working. Check the contact state
and replace it when it is defective.

1) Symptom
When the density of absorption solution is more than 65% and it lasts more that 10 minutes ‘ABS
SOL DENSITY HIGH’ message is displayed and a buzzer sounds performing the dilution operation
under abnormal stop.
2) Cause
①When crystallization increases density.
②When cooling system doesn’t work normally.
③When fuel is consumed too much.
3) Troubleshooting
①When crystallization forms an abnormal cycle and disturbs the flow of absorption solution
increasing density, it can occur. Crystal dissolution task is needed for this.
②When the temperature of cooling water is too high or too low, density goes up abruptly causing
error. Inspect cooling water system and cooling tower to make a normal system.
③When fuel(gas, oil) is oversupplied into a chiller-heater, the temperature of high-temp generator
gets high and the density goes up causing error. Check the adjustment state of burner.
13-6-3 EVAP REFRIGERANT TE LOW
1) Symptom
Only when refrigerant temperature sensor is installed in an evaporator, it can occur. When the
temperature of refrigerant is less than 2.5℃, a chiller-heater stops working. (temperature setting

②NO SIGNAL-PURGE PUMP
1) Symptom
The output signal for refrigerant pump shows up in MICOM but the input signal does not. Chiller-
heater is working normally but alarm shows up.
2) Cause
Magnet does not contact properly in refrigerant pump or input contact point is defective in I/O board.
3) Troubleshooting
Check the contact point of magnet in refrigerant pump. Replace magnet or change the contact point
if there is a problem.
13-7-2 ①ABS SOL PUMP 1 ABNL

when electric current flows excessively in each electric motor, that is each pump motor attached in
chiller-heater. In case of absorption solution pump 1, the effect of dilution operation is less as it does
not work.
2) Cause
①Foreign material gets in each pump or pump performs no-load operation for a long time.
②Insulation of each pump is bad.
③Thermal relay attached in each pump does not work properly or the current is designated low.
3) Troubleshooting
①Check whether pump performs reverse resolution or no-lead operation when it operates. If pump
performs reverse revolution or no-lead operation, it means there are defects, absorbent is
insufficient or cooling water flows abnormally (Refer to 13-4-5 “Cooling water’s abnormal low
flux”). Refrigerant pump performs no-lead operation when refrigerant is insufficient or cooling
cycle is built abnormally. Perform crystal dissolution when it is due to crystal. Adjust again the
cooling cycle or add refrigerant when refrigerant is insufficient. (Excluding the no-lead operation
of purge pump).
②Check insulation of each pump by ㏁ test on 3 phases of R, S and T. Replace the pump if
insulation is bad. The insulation of contact point and each phase must be over 500 ㏁.
③Check whether the current value set in thermal relay of each pump magnet is normal or not.
Replace the thermal relay if the current value is normal when it of each pump is measured and
thermal relay is defective when the value of it is increased.

13-9-1 Temperature of chilled water does not fall.
1) Cause
①Crystal is formed.
②Cooling does not work when the temperature of cooling water is so high.
③Cooling does not work when refrigerant is mixed with absorption solution or it is contaminated.
④The pressure inside the chiller-heater is high as the purge condition is bad.
⑤The speed that temperature of chilled water falls is slow when the control valve is changed to
‘Manual’ and low combustion is maintained.
⑥There is very small leakage in some place of chiller-heater.
89
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
2) Troubleshooting
①Perform crystal dissolution operation when crystal is formed. (Refer to 9-2 Crystal dissolution).
②The fan of cooling tower does not work properly or water circulation is not normal due to the
shortage of cooling water flux when the temperature of cooling water is so high. Check cooling
water circulation and supply water more or make the fan of cooling tower work properly.
③Evaporation capacity of refrigerant gets down when refrigerant is mixed with absorption solution.
Therefore temperature of refrigerant does not fall and absorption capacity is reduced. Perform the
Blow-down. (Refer to 7-3 Blow-down).
④Cooling cycle is not formed and crystal is easily formed and pressure and temperature of high-
temp generator gets high when the pressure inside chiller-heater is high. Perform purge task.
⑤The control valve does not moved in low combustion and the temperature keeps low in high-temp
generator when the control valve is in Manual. The low temperature of high-temp generator means
decreasing the cooling capacity of chiller-heater. Convert the control valve of MICOM panel to
Automatic.
⑥Cooling does not work and the temperature of chilled water does not fall and the inside of the
equipment corrode when there is leakage part. Therefore, contact our service center immediately
when there is leakage.
13-9-2 Temperature of cooling water does not fall.
1) Cause
There is a trouble in cooling water flux, the fan of cooling tower or cooling tower itself.
It is possible for cooling tower not to work properly due to the troubles in control of cooling tower.
2) Troubleshooting
Check whether cooling water flux is enough or not and supplement it more.
Contact the company involved cooling tower when there is a trouble in the fan of cooling tower or
cooling tower itself.
13-9-3 There is too much refrigerant in inspection window.
1) Cause
Too much refrigerant is in inspection window of refrigerant because the temperature of high-temp
generator is high.
2) Troubleshooting
It is normal as refrigerant is filled by half of the inspection window of evaporator and overflow
automatically when the temperature of high-temp generator is 156℃. However, perform Blow-down
and Crystal Dissolution operation if crystal is formed.

13-9-4 A burner switches turn on/off too often.

1) Cause
The temperature variation of chilled water is too big as cooling load is low.
2) Troubleshooting
Increase the cooling load. Contact our service center when burner turns ON/OFF abnormally
(regardless of chilled water outlet temperature, namely in case outlet temperature is over the
designated temperature).
13-9-5 Abnormal noise occurs.
1) Cause
①Chiller-heater makes a noise like rolling stones inside generator when it operates for the first time
in low temperature of high-temp generator. This noise comes from when absorption solution is
heated by burner.
②When burner is firing, it makes a noise like bursting out and it means explosive combustion by
imperfect combustion or waste gas emission malfunction.
③Pump makes a noise severely when absorption solution pump performs no-load operation.
④Heat exchanger makes a hammering noise when operating cooling. It is caused as circulation
cycle of absorption solution is not proper.
2) Troubleshooting
①The noise is normal and it is gone when high-temp generator is heated in some degrees. A user can
adjust the opening rate of the control valve to decrease the noise as it is caused by flame and
heating time in burner.
②Adjust again the fuel consumption rate or make waste gas emit smoothly as explosive firing
occurs because of imperfect combustion.
③Absorption solution pump performs no-lead operation if it makes an abnormal noise severely.
Bearing of absorption solution pump may be damaged and pump is stuck and broken when
absorption solution pump performs no-lead operation. Therefore, perform Blow-down or close the
control valve manually to decrease the amount of evaporation in high-temp generator and make
absorption solution be collected absorber. And then decide to do whether crystal dissolution or re-
operation
④The hammering noise is made when the flow of absorption solution is interrupted in a moment
between high-temp generator and low-temp generator. As it is usually caused before low-
combustion goes to high-combustion or does in reverse. Thus, adjust again the cycle with
intermediate solution damper or do the entire cycle. However, noise to some extent is normal one
as it is impossible to make absorption solution flow perfectly continuously according to the status
of chiller-heater. It is recommended to adjust it when the noise occurs often and severely.

14-1Frozen burst
14-1-1 What is frozen burst?
Frozen burst means a copper pipe inside evaporator, absorber, condenser and so on is frozen to
burst. It occurs as volume is increased when water is changed to ice. Usually evaporator is
frozen to burst in the season to be cooling. Absorber or condenser is frozen to burst as the
remaining water inside it is frozen to make copper pipe burst when it is kept for a long time in
winter season. As frozen burst occurs in the water part, it is recommended to control chilled
water part thoroughly to prevent frozen burst from happening.

temperature gets so low(under 2.5℃ – Adjustable in MICOM). However it does not stop as
MICOM can not detect whether the inside of copper pipe is blocked. Frozen burst occurs in
this reason.

2) Temperature of chilled water falls suddenly and chiller-heater starts controlling immediately
when load of air-handling unit or other equipment is stopped at a time while operating fully
chiller-heater. However, cooling capacity is maintained with the remaining heat as absorption
capacity of absorption solution is maintained in high temperature inside the high-temp
generator. Therefore, it is recommended not to decrease suddenly the load of air-handling unit

(AHU or FCU) or other equipment as it causes copper pipe burst.

3) Chilled water does not circulate if there is air a lot inside the pipe for chilled water. Air inside
pipe disturbs circulation of chilled water inside evaporator. It also causes frozen burst as it is
the same as sticking foreign material inside copper pipe in 1).
4) Contaminated chilled water or cooling water scales in the pipe and also block it. It also causes
frozen burst as it is the same as sticking foreign material inside copper pipe described in 1).
5) Chilled water or cooling water makes copper pipe corrode and cause burst when they are
contaminated and water quality gets worse. It is different from pipe burst caused by
temperature’s lowering but it is important to control water quality as it is also fatal. Especially
copper pipe can be corroded with remaining chemical material during cleaning pipe if it is not
neutralized enough after cleaning pipe. Therefore, it is recommended to use the contract
system for maintenance that we advise.
14-1-3 Frozen burst prevention
To prevent against frozen burst, it is important to control thoroughly water circulation. Usually operate
the pump after supplying chilled water and cooling water at the beginning of trial run. And then clean
perfectly the inside of pipe and remove foreign material thoroughly by draining it out 2~3 times after
water circulation. Mainly foreign material (bolt, nut, welding slug, gloves and so on) is stuck inside pipe
not to flow chilled water at the beginning of trial run. As shown in Figure 14-2, sensor displays normal
temperature but MICOM does not detect that temperature of some part in copper pipe falls down when
foreign material is stuck inside it. That is the cause of frozen burst. To remove it, it is very important to
clean the inside of pipe at the beginning of trial run.
The lowest temperature of entire water tank is 7℃ but it

falls down much lower in the part where chilled water is

APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
lots of cooling capacity. Temperature of chilled water falls drastically as chiller-heater has lots
of cooling capacity and cooling load is small when cooling load is decreased drastically.
MICOM start controlling according to the load capacity, but temperature of chilled water falls
continuously with cooling capacity regardless controlling in high-temp generator. Therefore,
it is very dangerous to decrease drastically cooling load in incidental equipment such as air-
handling unit, fan coil and so on. To prevent danger, cooling load of incidental equipment
such as air-handling unit, fan coil and so on must always be decreased after completion of
chiller-heater operation or decreased step by step.
2) Air inside pipe for chilled water must be removed completely and automatic air bent must be
installed to remove air as it is generated continuously by pump after purging completely. Also
it is necessary to check water circulation by installing pressure gauge in the pipe for chilled
water as water does not circulate well when air is filled in it. As shown in Figure 14-2, outlet
side always forms lower pressure than inlet side because of the loss of pressure when chilled
water flows inside the chiller-heater. A user can check indirectly whether water circulates
normally through it or not. Pressure difference is too greatly or little between inlet and outlet
when water does not circulates normally. Also the needle of pressure gauge shakes severely as
opened status of pressure regulating valve in pipe for chilled water or valve in header is bad
or expansion tank operates abnormally. At that time, check it out and take an action to correct
the phenomena. Pressure difference is different according to models of chiller-heater. Usually
it is normal to be minimum over 0.3~0.5kgf/㎠. It is normal for temperature difference
between inlet and outlet for chilled water to be under 5℃. Check water circulation and take
an action to correct as flux of chilled water is less if temperature difference is over 5℃.
Therefore, install a pressure gauge if possible and check it often while operating.
3) It is necessary to clean periodically as it is a cause of frozen burst when efficiency drops by
scaling from contamination of chilled and cooling water.
4) Replace chilled or cooling water perfectly or neutralize it with a proper chemical to avoid
corrosion inside of the pipe when chilled or cooling water is contaminated. Especially
neutralize it completely to use when pipe is cleaned with a chemical at the beginning of trial
run.
14-1-4 Troubleshooting on frozen burst
1) Chilled water is going up to the upper of inspection window for refrigerant in evaporator and
cooling does not work when frozen burst occurs. It is also possible for chiller-heater to be
deformed by water pressure when pressure of pipe is high.
2) Turn off the power of chiller-heater immediately at frozen burst.
3) Stop pumps of chilled and cooling water. It is stopped as soon as the power of chilled and
cooling water is turned off. (Stop it by pressing switches on MCC panel in case pumps are operated
94
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_0000003
APCPCWM_4828539:WP_0000003WP_000000
manually).
4) Lock off completely valves of chilled and cooling water as soon as possible.
5) High-temp generator can be deformed if the pressure of pressure gauge in it is over 0.5kg/㎠.
In this case, put a big container like a drum can under service valve of heat exchanger or high-
temp generator and discharge absorption solution by opening valves so that the interior
pressure of it gets under atmospheric pressure(0kg/㎠).
5) Contact our service center immediately when frozen burst occurs. In case pressure of chilled
water is high, contact our service center after doing troubleshooting the above.
14-2 Troubleshooting on power interruption

Chiller-heater is stopped immediately as power is turned off when operating. Chiller-heater
operates normally by supplement function of MICOM when power is interrupted
instantaneously (0.2 ~0.3 seconds).
Chiller-heater operates normally by operation function for power recovery at power
interruption in MICOM when power is interrupted long time. (only when “Select Operation for
Power Interruption” is selected).
Chiller-heater operates by operation timer of “Operation and dilution at power recovery” (1 to
360 minutes: default value is 30 minutes). Chiller-heater operates again when it is within the
set time and stops and performs dilution operation when it exceeds the set time. Chiller-heater
is stopped completely by “Prevention for operation at power recovery” function (1 to 888
minutes: default value is 60 minutes) when it exceeds the set time in “Prevention for operation
at power recovery”
Follow the below in the main menu to select operation at power interruption.
System Menu – Safety Control – Select Operation at Power Interruption
When a user set “Re-operation” instead of “Stop” in “Select Operation at Power Interruption”,
chiller-heater operates automatically again when power interruption time is within 30 minutes
(It is possible to adjust the set time) and performs dilution operation when it exceeds 30
minutes according to the set function. However, chiller-heater is stopped completely by
“Prevention for operation at power recovery” when power interruption time is over 60 minutes.
14-2-1 Instantaneous power interruption
Chiller-heater operates continuously by supplement function (within 0.2~0.3 seconds) of
MICOM when power is interrupted instantaneously. It operates normally as it does continuously
in this case. (But it can be stopped abnormally by closing the electric valve of burner although it
is within 0.2 ~0.3 seconds). Chiller-heater operates again after stop when performing dilution
operation. Also operate it again by pressing operation button immediately when it does not
work at all after it is turned off and on and stopped completely. (In case of “Select operation at

power interruption”).
14-2-2 Long time power interruption

It is easy for crystal to be formed when power is interrupted for a long time. Use the “Select
operation at power interruption” function to avoid it. Then chiller-heater operates again or
performs dilution operation at power recovery after power interruption described in 14-2.
However, take a proper action immediately when power is interrupted for a long time (Usually
20~30 minutes although it depends on the status of outlet for chilled water and high-temp
generator) as it can be frozen to burst in this case. Chilled water must be circulated continuously
most of all.
① If there is an electric generator, all the incidental equipment (chilled water, cooling water,
cooling tower and so on) of chiller-heater must be connected electric generator to operate it
again by being connected electric generator automatically and turned on the power at power
interruption.
② If there is an electric generator but it is impossible for all the equipment to connect it due to
the capacity of electric generation, pump for chilled water must be connected electric
generator to operate automatically(or manually) it immediately. Pipe is not frozen to burst
when chilled water circulates continuously.
③ If there is no electric generator (or power supply is delayed to pump for chilled water as an
electric generator does not operate in a short time), open slowly valve A for cooling and
heating conversion of chiller-heater to input directly refrigerant steam from the high-temp
generator to the main body and lower the pressure inside the high-temp generator and input
refrigerant steam to absorber and evaporator to raise the temperature inside of them not to
work cooling operation. Or it is also possible to flow chilled water even a little by opening
drain valve for chilled water temporarily. However it is complicated as a user must fill again
chilled water and operate again chiller-heater after air purge because air goes into the pipe.
Check whether crystal is formed or not when chiller-heater operates normally after power
recovery. Perform crystal dissolution operation when crystal is formed. (Refer to “10, Crystal
and crystal dissolution” in page 88).

14-3 In case of absorption solution outflow

14-3-1 In case of absorption solution outflow caused by other leakage
When absorption solution flows out due to external damage or leakage of chiller-heater, put the
solution in a clean container. On finding leakage or outflow, stop operation and contact this
company. Clean it with a dried duster for a small quantity and put it in a clean container for a
large quantity. If skin or cloths is stained with solution while putting it in a container, clean it
with soapy water.
14-4 In case of fire

14-4-1 In case of fire in a chiller-heater burner
Because a chiller-heater uses gas or oil as heat source, be very cautious of fire caused by gas
explosion or oil leakage. For oil or gas burner, close the main valve when a chiller-heater
doesn’t work long time. When fire occurs, stop the operation immediately and close the main
valve for gas or oil to prevent great fire. When flame continues to occur in a high-temp generator,
lift down the power switch for burner and stop a chiller-heater. Use fire extinguisher or contact
a fire station at hand if necessary. (a chiller-heater is equipped with a safety device, so it has
almost no danger of fire. But the best measures against unpredictable fire should be taken.)
①For a oil burner, when oil is left in a high-temp generator and then a chiller-heater is put into
operation, oil left inside can get fired. In this case, stop the operation immediately and contact
this company to have the burner examined.
②For a gas burner, it is highly possible that explosion and suffocation occurs by gas leakage, thus
ventilate in the machine room. Check gas leakage regularly and operate a ventilation fan in the
machine room before operation for ventilation.
Generally, a gas burner has its own safety device and performs free purge before firing to
discharge internal gas, but be aware that exhaust damper or exhaust gas passage may be closed.

<stage control for cooling water fan>

In figure 1, all the cooling fans stop at the temperature 28℃ because of the
Cooling fan stopping temperature which overrides the stage control.
In the same way, when the Cooling fan running temperature setting value is
less than the stage control value, all the cooling fans run at the Cooling fan
running temperature. Therefore, caution is required when the running and
stopping temperature is set.

3.7.4.3 Inverter control for controlling the cooling water return

temperature
Our controller provides not only 4-stage control function but linear control
function by PID algorithm.
Therefore, users can apply this control algorithm to the inverter control to tune
the return temperature to the target value.
The types of the control signals are -4~20mAdc, -0~5vdc or
-0~10vdc
These signals can be freely selected in the menu of the MICOM screen. To
activate this function, choose the related menu and select the cooling fan
inverter control as follows;
From main menu, choose in the following order.

3.7.4.4 Setting of Data logging Time (OPER. DATA LOG TIME)

It is a item to set the data logging time. The logging time is the interval to store the
operating data. If the time is set to 10 seconds, the operating data will be stored
every 10 second. Carefulness is needed to the fact that alarm data is stored
promptly once it occurs.
3.7.4.5 Over-voltage / Over-current Monitoring (Option)

Limitation of Voltage / Current in operating is and the ” %” at Rated Current are
set in case that a device to monitor this is attached separately, chiller/heater
stops when the value goes beyond set values.
3.7.4.6 Anti Freeze operation at Chilled/Heated Water Piping

In case that Frozen Preventing Operation is set as “USED”, in the Controller, if
it is powered, always monitors the outlet temperature of chilled or heated water
through the sensors installed on the piping of chilled/hot water though
chiller/heater stops. So when the temperature goes below the preset value, the
controller will operate the pump of Chilled/Heated water to prevent the Frozen
Burst.
Note :This function can work when the circuits of the related pumps are
connected with the Chiller/heater control panel according to the
manufacturer’s electrical circuit diagram, and there will be able to be a
differential of the control set value depending on the location of
installation of the chiller/heater.

3.7.6.1 Running time setting

It is a setting value that the chiller/heater starts at this scheduled time. On the
selected day of the week, if the current time is ranged between the run time
and the stop time on the upper right spot of the display, the chiller/heater will
automatically start. Therefore, much of carefulness is necessary while you set
the time value
3.7.6.2 Stopping time setting

It is a setting value that the chiller/heater stops at this scheduled time. On the
selected day of the week, if the current time is ranged out of the run time and

the stop time on the upper right spot of the display, the chiller/heater will
automatically stop.
3.7.6.3 SV (Chilled/Hot Water Target Value Setting)

It is a setting value that MICOM controls the chilled/hot water leaving
temperature to be tuned with the target value. You can adjust the target value
for each of the step differently and during the scheduled running the target
value is selected by the SV(Set Value) for each step.
3.7.6.4 Day of the week

You can select the day of the week when you want the scheduled running to be
taken action on the chosen weekday through Sunday to Monday. The day
where you can see the ‘O’ mark is when the scheduled running is activated
and ‘X’ when it is not.
3.7.6.5 Holiday
‘Ho’ mark is meaning the day when holiday operation step is to be set. The day
when it is selected as holiday, will follow according to the steps of operation.
3.7.6.6 Selecting the Holiday

The scheduled operation day is set by the holiday operation step. If the
selected step is identical to the day of the week and the holiday, the day of the
week operation is neglected and the holiday operation step is set to be the
working mode.
3.7.6.7 Example of the Scheduled Operation setting

If the scheduled operation is set as below, chiller/heater operation is
done as follows.

4.2.3 Inspection method for trouble shooting

4.2.3.1 Valve Sensor trouble shooting
Loosen the valve sensor cable from MICOM
terminals. a
Turn the tester mode to resistance measuring one
and then if you measure the resistance between a b
and b, it must be a constant value. And if you
change to manual valve control mode and move c
the valve, the valve sensor movement and the Valve Sensor
resistance value must be changed. If there is no
change in the resistance value, It means that either the circuit line or the valve
sensor was damaged. After the valve is completely closed, if the resistance
between a and b increases gradually and the resistance between b and c
decreases gradually when the valve is reopened, the valve sensor is in a
normal condition. Also, the sensor cables should be electrically isolated from
any metal parts such as frame and enclosure.
If the valve is in a normal status, close the valve completely after reconnecting
it and check if the valve value is 0%, and of course, when completely opened,
make sure that the value of the valve is 100%. If the value is hunting and the
opening degree of the valve % does not match, the valve must be set again. If
there is no change in the value, make sure it is 100% and Check if the sensor
value in the [ ] are changing when the valve is moving. If the sensor value is
changing, restart the valve setting. If the sensor value is not changing, check
as follows;
1. Locate the tester to DC 30V
2. Connect plus (+) lead to the feedback sensor lead ‘a’ on the MICOM
terminal and minus(-) to ‘c’. The measured value must be DC 5V.
3. If the voltage does not indicate the above value, check the main input
power at MICOM. If MICOM main power is normal, valve sensor is
normal and the sensor value doesn’t change, the main board must be
exchanged to a new one.

4.2.3.2 Temperature Sensor (Pt-100) trouble shooting

Disconnect the temperature sensor cable from MICOM and set the tester to
the resistance measuring mode. Then if you A
measure the resistance between A and B, b(or c), it
should indicate the value from 84.27Ω(-40℃) to
153.58Ω(140℃). (When you check from the B
temperature table Pt-100 in the IEC std., the b
temperature value can be found corresponding to
the resistance). If the measured resistance value Temperature Sensor
exceeds the input range, It means that the (Pt-100)
connection line was burned out or the sensor was
damaged. Connect the precise resistance (DECADE Box is recommended) to
the MICOM input channel and check whether the values are showing the
correct value corresponding to each case as follows; At 100.00Ω 0℃, at
103.90Ω 10℃ and at 110.9Ω 28℃. Check if the temperature changes in
accordance with the resistance. If you cannot get the values as described,
check if the sensor setting was done correctly. At ‘System Setting\PT Sensor
Setting\Channel Number’, check the value at the bottom. The one at the
bottom-left should be showing a value that is approximately within ±100, and
the one at bottom-right within 10000±1000. The value at the bottom-middle in
the [ ] indicates the sensor input value (A/D converting value) that must be
altered in accordance with the resistance. If the sensor value does not change
when changing the resistance, check the main board’s primary power. If the
power is proper but there is no sensor input value, then the main board must
be replaced.

4.2.3.5 Digital input signal trouble shooting

If the no-voltage contact signal is properly input to MICOM digital input module
but the MICOM indicates abnormality or the digital input status is not changed
by the input alteration, It means that either the I/O board power connector has
an abnormal connection or there is no communication between the I/O board
and the main board. Follow the steps after you check whether there is no
problem with the I/O board and the main board communication connection.

１. Have a short between the abnormal terminal that does not work and the
MICOM I/O board’s COM terminal (23 or 24). At this time check out if the
related LED LAMP is on.
２. Check if the input status turns to “ON”/“OFF” at the display
menu when shorting and snapping between the abnormal terminal and the
COM terminal (23 or 24).
３. Measure the voltage between the loosened wire and the COM
terminal(23 or 24). As the result, the measured voltages should be 18Vdc.
４. Even though you check as the above procedure, if you can’t find out
any problems, It means that the I/O input doesn’t work, the I/O board must be
replaced.
Refer to the following flow chart and the tester connection diagram.

4.2.3.6 Communication Error

This error happens because the communication that is related to the display
message among the boards is not well performed. First, check the connection
status of the communication lines among the boards.
Be careful there are 2 kinds of communiation in the MICOM
One is RS232c(main to display) , the other is RS485(main to I/O.
Therefore, if there is wrong connection, communication error will be occurred.
In case of the connection between the main board and the display board, the 2
boards are connected by RS232c. therefore the RX line of the main should be
connected to the TX terminal of the display board. On the contrary, the TX line
should be connected to the RX terminal.
In case of the connection between the main board and the I/O board, the 2
boards are connected by RS485. therefore the RS485(+) line of the main
should be connected to the RS485(+) terminal of the I/O board. In the same
way, the RS485(-) line should be connected to the RS485(-)terminal.
If the connection is correct and the communication error occurs, either the
main board or the opposite board must be replaced.
4.2.3.7 Back up Ram Deleted

This message is appeared when the set values in the backup ram are deleted.
When this message is shown, each setting will be reset to the initial value.
Data backup is performed at the main board NVRAM, and to check the
abnormality of the NVRAM , The user must first change the item value at ‘Main
Menu\Manual Setting\Temperature Setting’ and then shut down the MICOM
power. 5 seconds after, reboot the system. Then check if the item value at
‘Main Menu\Manual Setting\Temperature Setting’ is preserved as the changed
set value. If not, NVRAM on main board must be replaced. The valid period of
the NVRAM is ten years. Regardless of the valid period, if the power keeps
being on, information in the NVRAM will not be deleted. If the NVRAM is in a
normal condition, check the setting value and then perform the setting of the
valve sensor , each of the temperature sensors and the related parameters.
The message will not disappear before the valve sensor and each of the
sensors’ setting is done.

4.2.3.8 No Character is displayed on the LCD

Check if the LCD connector and the power connector are properly connected
with each other. Check if the LED mounted next to the CPU is properly on. If
the power connector is properly connected and the display’s CPU is also in a
normal condition, LCD’s backlight is structured to be ON at the initial condition.
Make sure that you check this and then continue to the next step. If the LED is
turned off, the power is off and the LED is blinking, It means that the display
board must be replaced. Even though the connection of the power and the
connector is OK, if the LED is turned black or only showing the backlight
without any character display, set it as follows.
1. Turn off the MICOM power (Control power cut switch)
2. Keep pressing the menu control key that is on the front panel of MICOM
when supplying the power to it. Then the brightness of the display will be
changed.
z LCD brightness controlling key when the power is supplied
If the above key is being pressed while the power is supplied to MICOM,
brightness of the MICOM is changed every second.
