Water Treatment — Untreated or improperly treated wa- ter may result in corrosion, scaling, erosion, or algae. The ser- vices of a qualified water treatment specialist should be ob- tained to develop and monitor a treatment program.

Water must be within design flow limits, clean, and treated to ensure proper chiller performance and reduce the poten- tial of tube damage due to corrosion, scaling, erosion, and algae. Carrier assumes no responsibility for chiller damage resulting from untreated or improperly treated water.

Inspect the Starting Equipment — Before working on any starter, shut off the chiller, open and tag all disconnects supplying power to the starter.

The disconnect on the starter front panel does not deener- gize all internal circuits. Open all internal and remote dis- connects before servicing the starter.

Never open isolating knife switches while equipment is operating. Electrical arcing can cause serious injury.

Inspect starter contact surfaces for wear or pitting on mechanical-type starters. Do not sandpaper or file silverplated contacts. Follow the starter manufacturer’s instructions for contact replacement, lubrication, spare parts ordering, and oth- er maintenance requirements.

Periodically vacuum or blow off accumulated debris on the internal parts with a high-velocity, low-pressure blower.

Power connections on newly installed starters may relax and loosen after a month of operation. Turn power off and re- tighten. Recheck annually thereafter.

Loose power connections can cause voltage spikes, over- heating, malfunctioning, or failures.

Check Pressure Transducers — Once a year, the pressure transducers should be checked against a pressure gage reading. Check all eight transducers: the 2 oil differential pres- sure transducers, the condenser pressure transducer, the cooler pressure transducer, and the waterside pressure transducers (consisting of 4 flow devices: 2 cooler, 2 condenser).

Note the evaporator and condenser pressure readings on the HEAT_EX screen on the CVC/ICVC (EVAPORATOR PRES- SURE and CONDENSER PRESSURE). Attach an accurate set of refrigeration gages to the cooler and condenser Schrader fit- tings. Compare the two readings. If there is a difference in readings, the transducer can be calibrated as described in the Troubleshooting Guide section. Oil differential pressure (OIL PUMP DELTA P on the COMPRESS screen) should be zero whenever the compressor is off.

Optional Pumpout System Maintenance — For pumpout unit compressor maintenance details, refer to the 06D, 07D Installation, Start-Up, and Service Instructions.

OPTIONAL PUMPOUT COMPRESSOR OIL CHARGE — Use oil conforming to Carrier specifications for reciprocat- ing compressor usage. Oil requirements are as follows:

ISO Viscosity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68 Carrier Part Number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PP23BZ103

The total oil charge, 4.5 pints (2.6 L), consists of 3.5 pints (2.0 L) for the compressor and one additional pint (0.6 L) for the oil separator.

Oil should be visible in one of the compressor sight glasses during both operation and at shutdown. Always check the oil level before operating the compressor. Before adding or chang- ing oil, relieve the refrigerant pressure as follows:

1.Attach a pressure gage to the gage port of either compres- sor service valve (Fig. 36).

2.Close the suction service valve and open the discharge line to the storage tank or the chiller.

3.Operate the compressor until the crankcase pressure drops to 2 psig (13 kPa).

4.Stop the compressor and isolate the system by closing the discharge service valve.

5.Slowly remove the oil return line connection (Fig. 36). Add oil as required.

6.Replace the connection and reopen the compressor ser- vice valves.

OPTIONAL PUMPOUT SAFETY CONTROL SETTINGS (Fig. 39) — The optional pumpout system high-pressure switch opens at 161 psig (1110 kPa) and closes at 130 psig (896 kPa). Check the switch setting by operating the pumpout compressor and slowly throttling the pumpout condenser water.

Ordering Replacement Chiller Parts — When

ordering Carrier specified parts, the following information must accompany an order:

chiller model number and serial number

name, quantity, and part number of the part required

delivery address and method of shipment.

19XR, XRV specifications

The Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers are sophisticated cooling solutions that represent the forefront of HVAC technology. Designed for large commercial and industrial applications, these chillers provide exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and reliability, making them ideal for a variety of environments ranging from hospitals to manufacturing facilities.

One of the most significant features of the Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers is their advanced scroll compressor technology. These units employ a tandem scroll design that enhances efficiency while minimizing operational noise. This makes them ideal for urban environments where noise restrictions may be in place. Moreover, the compressors are equipped with variable speed drive options in the 19XRV model, which allows for greater energy savings by adjusting cooling output based on real-time demand.

In addition to their advanced compressors, the 19XR and 19XRV units incorporate the Carrier GreenChoice refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential compared to traditional refrigerants. This innovative choice not only meets regulatory requirements but also contributes to sustainability goals, making these chillers a responsible choice for environmentally conscious organizations.

The units are engineered with a robust heat exchanger design, which enhances heat transfer efficiency and overall system performance. This ensures optimal operation even in extreme conditions. They feature a microprocessor-based control system that allows for precise monitoring and control of the chiller’s performance, enabling operators to make real-time adjustments to maximize energy efficiency.

The Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers also prioritize serviceability. The design incorporates easy access to key components, simplifying maintenance procedures and reducing downtime. This focus on maintainability extends the lifespan of the equipment, leading to lower lifecycle costs.

In terms of connectivity, these chillers are equipped with advanced Building Management System (BMS) integration capabilities. This allows for seamless monitoring and control of the chillers using a centralized platform, facilitating energy management and operational optimization.

Overall, the Carrier 19XR and 19XRV chillers stand out in the market for their blend of cutting-edge technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. They are engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern commercial and industrial applications, making them a preferred choice for facility managers seeking reliable cooling solutions.
