    - Improper wiring or installation may cause fire or electric shock. • Do not disassemble, repair or reconfigure the unit. - LG Electronics is not responsible for the any damage or loss from the arbitrary disassembly, repair or reconfigura- tion of the unit.
  • Page 4 • Installing the product in small space requires separate measures to keep the leakage of the refrigerant within the safety limits in case of any leakage. - Consult the authorized dealer for appropriate measures to prevent the refrigerant leakage from exceeding the safety limits.
  • Page 5 • Wear safety equipment - Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Be careful when installing or operating the chiller and operating the electri- cal components. • Always run fluid through heat exchangers when adding or removing refrigerant charge. - Potential damage of the tube within the heat exchanger can be prevented. Use Appropriate brine solution in cooler fluid loops to prevent the freezing of heat exchangers when equipment is exposed to temperature below 0°C.

    3. STRUCTURE OF TWO STAGE CENTRIFUGAL CHILLER 3-1. Cycle of the chiller The two Stage Centrifugal chiller uses environment friendly high pressure refrigerant R-134a. - In this cycle, as shown in the following figure, the vaporized low temperature and low pressure refrigerant gas passes the Inlet Guide Vane, and enters the 1st impeller of the compressor.

Main components of the two stage centrifugal chiller Compressor 1) Hermetic Motor with Refrigerant Cooling Method 2) Open type Impeller 3) Diffuser 4) High speed gear device (Helical gear type) 5) Thrust Bearing Fig 5. Hermetic two-stage high-speed compressor *Two-stage centrifugal chiller compressor is composed of impeller, bearing, diffuser, capacity control device and high-speed gear.
  • Page 16 Heat exchanger Heat exchanger of two-stage centrifugal chiller is composed of two shell type for easy separation into evaporator and condenser. The tubes are arranged so as to maximize the heat exchanging ability. It is also designed so that the re- frigerant can be spread evenly on all tubes for the sake of surge prevention and the COP decrease in part load opera- tion.
  • Page 17 Lubrication system Bearing Oil inlet Oil tank Oil outlet Oil outlet sight glass Oil cooler Oil filter Oil inlet Figure 9. Lubrication cycle Introduction The discharged lubricating oil by the oil pump enters the oil filter to get rid of any unnecessary foreign substance. This oil becomes cooled to the temperature appropriate for operation condition after through the oil cooler, part of it directly enters gear and high speed side bearings, and the remainder directly enters motor shaft bearings.
  • Page 18 Oil reclaim system Oil reclaim system provides the system to reclaim the oil from the heat exchanger and let it come back to the oil tank. Normally, it is reclaimed at the evaporator, and the vane housing. Refrigerant which came back into the oil tank will then be evaporated to the gas and flow through the Oil Seperator line which is located at the upper part of the casing, and then it will be sent to the inlet of the compressor.

  • Page 56 5) Motor Current Block This is to set motor and current control actions to protect the motor from overload. The current block action is implemented as shown below, and temperature control is not implemented when cur- rent block action is under operation. However, it is implemented in accordance with the P.I.D calculation value when P.I.D calculation value is smaller than the vane opening value while current control action is under operation.
  • Page 57 6) Guide Vane Maximum This function is to protect the motor from overload or to block a load of the Chiller artificially. This blocks the guide vane from opening bigger than the setting. 7) Hot Gas (Vane %) This is an item to set when applying a hot gas bypass valve. Action to open a hot gas bypass valve is implemented when opening reaches the setting when closing the vane after reading feedback signals for controlling the opening of the guide vane.

    6-4. Startup procedure after long-period of stoppage When letting the chiller to be still for a long period of stoppage, the refrigerant must be transferred to a separate re- frigerant pot to prevent machine pressure decrease and leak. Charge approximately 5kg of refrigerant into the machine to prevent air-entrance. If the installed area of the chiller is frequently a place of below zero, drain the chilled water, cooling water and the condensing water to prevent freezing.
