Factory-trained service organization – Carrier’s

extensive service organization offers trained and experienced
service technicians in every major city. In addition to routine
maintenance and repair services, Carrier also offers a wide
array of preventative maintenance, full maintenance, and/or
extended service contracts that can be custom tailored to any
level of service.

Leak-proof hermetic pumps/motors cut maintenance

costs – Carrier’s proven solution and refrigerant pumps/
motors are leak-proof, completely self-contained, and
hermetically sealed. The hermetic design eliminates the need
for a separate, complicated, and possibly leak-prone seal water
system while providing leak tightness and longer machine life.
Specially designed bearings absorb both radial and axial
thrusts to ensure correct fit at all times. There is no possibility
of external contamination since the fluid being pumped
lubricates and cools the pump and motor assemblies. In
addition, both the rotor and the stator are separated by a
stainless steel liner that protects the windings from the fluid
being pumped. As an additional safety feature, thermal
overload switches are embedded in the stator to protect against
high winding temperatures. The pumps are field serviceable.
Inspection is recommended after 5 years or 20,000 hours of
operation, whichever comes first. Pump isolation valves are
included on 16DNH machines to make field service easy, if
required.

life and ensures optimum efficiency and performance
16DNH CONTROL CENTER – The purge system of an absorption chiller is critical to
ensuring efficient operation and long machine life. Even when
machines are vacuum tight or properly inhibited, all absorption
chillers generate hydrogen and other noncondensable gases in
small quantities. Since these gases are present in sufficient
volume to interfere with proper machine operation, they must
be removed to protect the unit from internal corrosion, lithium
bromide solution crystallization, and/or a reduction in chiller
capacity. Carrier’s motorless purge system protects 16DNH
machines from these potential hazards by working
continuously during machine operation.
