also is supplied with each unit.
Note: If a storage vessel is not used at the jobsite, factory-installed isolation valves on the
chiller may be used to isol ate the machine charge in either the cooler or conden ser. An
optional pumpout compressor system is used to transfer re frigerant from vessel to ves-
sel.
Refrigeration Cycle
The compressor continuously draws refrigerant vapor from the cooler, at a rate set by the
amount of guide vane opening. As the compressor suction reduces the pressure in the cooler,
the remaining refrige rant boils at a fairly low temp erature (typically 38 to 42 F [3 to 6 C]). The
energy required for bo ili ng is obtained from the wat er flowing through the coo ler tubes. With
heat energy removed, th e water becomes cold enough for use in an air conditioni ng circuit or
process liquid cooling.
After taking heat from the water, the refrigerant vapor is compressed. Compression adds still
more heat energy an d the refrigerant is quite warm (typi cally 98 to 102 F [37 t o 40 C]) when it i s
discharged from the compressor i nto the condens er.
Relatively cool (typic al ly 65 to 90 F [18 to 32 C]) water flo wing into the condenser tu bes
removes heat from the re fri gerant and the vapor cond enses to liquid.
The liquid refrigera nt passes through orifices int o the FLASC (Flash Subcool er) chamber
