The document provides a commissioning checklist for chillers that outlines the safety and operational checks that should be performed before, during, and after startup.

Before startup, manuals should be read and understood, safety equipment should be tested, refrigerant samples should be taken, motor rotation should be checked, and valves should be verified to be in the correct position.

After startup, capacity regulation and refrigerant charge should be checked, vibrations should be monitored, startup logs should be recorded, and oil samples should be taken.
