2.1 - SAFETY
The safety information contained in this manual is provided as a guide for the safe handling of this
installation. Lennox does not vouch for the completeness of this information and can therefore not accept
liability for any possible omissions.
In the air cooled chillers, heat is being transported by a pressurised refrigerant, with changes in pressure and
temperature. Fans have been provided to discharge heat into the environment. The protection of operating and
maintenance personnel was central in the design of the air cooled chiller. Safety features have been included to
prevent excessive pressure in the system. Sheet metal parts have been fitted to prevent inadvertent contact with
(hot) pipes. The fans are equipped with protective grids and the electrical control panel is completely touch-proof.
This excludes some parts operating at a safe voltage (< 50 Volt). The service panels can only be opened using tools.
Notwithstanding that the air cooled chillers are equipped with extensive safety and protection features, the
utmost care and attention is needed when carrying out operations on the machine. Furthermore, ear
protection should be worn when working on or in the vicinity of the air cooled chillers. Operations on the
cooling circuit or electrical equipment should be carried out by authorised personnel.
And is provided with CE markings.(on the condition that the necessary options are present) (for further information
see II-A declaration).
The chiller is marked with the following warning labels to alert to potential hazards (on or near the potentially
hazardous part).
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 - Transport - Handling
3.1.1 - Controls and delivery checks
On receipt of a new equipment please check the following points. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that
the products are in good working order (fill the check list page 48):
- The exterior has not been damaged in any way.
- The lifting and handling equipment are suitable for the equipment and comply with the specifications of the
handling instructions enclosed here-in.
- Accessories ordered for on site installation have been delivered and are in good working order.
- If the unit is delivered with its operating charge of refrigerant, that there has been no leakage (use an electronic
detector).
- The equipment supplied corresponds to the order and matches the delivery note.
If the product is damaged, exact details must be confirmed in writing by registered post to the shipping company
within 48 hours of delivery (working days).
A copy of the letter must be addressed to LENNOX and the supplier or distributor for information purposes.
Failure to comply will invalidate any claim against the shipping company.
Please be reminded that LENNOX is not responsible for off-loading and positioning.
3.1.2 - Storage
Installation - Operation - Maintenance manual (IOM) • AIR COOLED CHILLERS & SPLIT UNITS - 0105-E •7•
INSTALLATION - TRANSPORT - HANDLING
When units are delivered on site they are not always required immediately and are sometimes put into storage. In
the event of medium to long-term storage, we recommend the following procedures :
- Ensure that there is no water in the hydraulic systems.
- Keep the heat exchanger covers in position.
- Keep protective plastic film in position.
- Ensure the electrical panels are closed.
- Keep all items and options supplied in a dry and clean place for future assembly before using the equipment.
It is strongly recommended to store units is a dry, sheltered place (in particular for units that will be installed
indoors).
CAUTION : BEFORE EACH SERVICE OPERATION MAKE SURE THAT THE UNIT POWER SUPPLY
IS PROPERLY ISOLATED AND LOCKED OUT.
NOTE : SOME UNITS MAY HAVE A SEPARATE 230V CONTROL SUPPLY THAT REQUIRES
SEPARATE ISOLATION. PLEASE CHECK THE WIRING DIAGRAM.
3.2.2 - Handling
Handling operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. Comply strictly with lifting instruction pasted on the
unit. Unit handling operations must be carried out carefully to avoid jolting the frame, the panels, the electrical box,
the condenser coil fins, etc....
NOTE :
The heat exchangers of the condensers could be protected from damage during transport by plastic plates.
The machine is also wrapped in packing foil. It is recommended to leave this protection in place during any
transport and lifting operations, and not to remove the plastic plates until commissioning (take care that
the protecting foil wrapping is not blown away!).
NOTE :
Rubber anti-vibrations mountings (AVM) & factory accessories are to be found in the control panel for
shipping. If the unit is mounted on anti-vibration mountings, these should be fitted to the unit before final
positioning.

INSTALLATION - TRANSPORT - HANDLING
The following preparations are important for the installation of the chiller :
- Air-cooled chillers such as Ecologic or Ecomax are designed for outdoor installation. Please consult Lennox prior
to implementing other types of installation.
- Locate the chiller where it is least affected by wind (install windbreaks where wind speeds > 2.2 m/s).
- The ground beneath the unit must be flat, level and of sufficient strength to support the weight of the unit with its
full liquid charge, and the occasional presence of the usual service equipment.
In locations exposed to frost, the supporting surface, if the unit is installed on the ground, must be built on concrete
stakes extending downwards beyond the normal depth of frost. It is always advisable to build a supporting surface
detached from the general building structure to avoid transmission of vibrations.
- On normal applications, unit rigidity and point load positions enable installation to minimise vibrations. Vibration
isolators may be used by contractors on installations requiring particularly low vibration levels.
- Use of vibration isolators MUST be accompanied by installation of flexible connections in the unit water
piping. Vibration isolators must also be fixed to the unit BEFORE being fixed to the ground.
Selection of vibration absorbing isolator capacity is not LENNOX’s responsibility.
The unit must be bolted to the vibration isolators and the latter solidly fixed into the concrete slab.
Check that vibration isolator contact surfaces fit flush to the floor. If necessary, use spacers or re-surface the
flooring, but in all events, make sure that the isolators seat flatly on the supporting surface.
- It is essential that the units be installed with sufficient free space around them to enable proper circulation of air
ejected by the condensers and to provide easy access to all unit components for servicing and maintenance. If
the air rejected by the condenser encounters any obstacles, it will tend to be recycled by the fans. This will cause
an increase in the temperature of the air used to cool the condensers. Obstruction of the air outlet will also impair
air distribution across the entire heat exchanging surface of the condenser. Both of these conditions, which
reduce the heat exchange capacity of the coils, will cause an increase in condensing pressure. This will lead to
a loss of capacity and an increase in compressor power input.
- To prevent air flow to be reversed due to prevaling winds, units cannot be completely shrouded with a higher,
uninterrupted wind shield. If such a configuration cannot be avoided, an air ejection duct must be installed at the
same height as the surrounding shield.
It is important that units must be leveled failure to install unit correctly will void warranty.

INSTALLATION - TRANSPORT - HANDLING
The theoretical volume of the water loop for a proper air conditioning operation can be calculated using the formula
hereafter:
Q ! Cooling capacity of the chiller in kW
N ! Number of capacity stage of the chiller
Dt ! Water temperature Delta T.
Example, for a chiller with 400kW, water conditions 12°C/7°C and 4 capacity stages, the minimum volume is :
Vt = 72 x 400/(5 x 4) = 1440 l.
This formula will give the minimum water capacity of the installation that will ensure a temperature rise of the water
loop of (dt/n)°C during anti short cycle of compressors.
This formula is only applicable for air-conditioning installation and must not be used for process cooling
where temperature stability is required.
A main isolator switch must be inserted between the end of the power supply cable and the unit to enable total
isolation of the latter when necessary. Chillers are supplied as standard without a main isolator switch. This is
available as an option.
WARNING
Wiring must conform to applicable regulations. The type and location of fused isolators must also conform
with regulations. For the sake of safety, install them where they can be seen and in easy reach of the unit.
Units must have full earthing continuity.
IMPORTANT
Operation of a unit with the wrong power supply or with excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and
is not covered by the LENNOX warranty. If phase imbalance exceeds 2 % for voltage and 1 % for current,
contact your local electricity company immediately before powering up the unit.

Ensure conduct liquid line and gas line pressure tests are in conformity with applicable legislation. Before starting
up a unit on a receiver, the piping and the condenser must be dehydrated. Dehydration should be carried out using
a double stage vacuum pump, capable of drawing 600Pa absolute pressure vacuum.
Best results are obtained with a vacuum down to 100 Pa. To get down to this level at normal temperatures, i.e.
Installation - Operation - Maintenance manual (IOM) • AIR COOLED CHILLERS & SPLIT UNITS - 0105-E • 15 •
INSTALLATION - TRANSPORT - HANDLING
15 °C, it is often necessary to leave the pump running for 10 to 20 hours. The duration of pump operation is not a
factor of efficiency. The pressure level must be checked before the unit is put into service.
Note:
Splits units are supplied with a refrigerant or nitrogen holding charge. Before pulling down the vacuum for
dehydration, completely purge the unit.
Charge the unit until there is a constant flow of bubble-free liquid in the sight-glass indicating that there is sufficient
charge and controlled that sub cooling is correct according to the system design value.
In all cases, do not top up the charge until the unit reaches a stable state of operation.
It is pointless to overcharge a system, this can adversely affect operation.
Overcharging causes :
- Excessive discharge pressure,
- A risk of damage to the compressor,
- Excessive power consumption.

page 55 to 62.
These tables will give you all necessary information concerning the operating envelop of the unit.
Please consult the «Risk analysis and hazardous situations according to 97/123 directive» given in the
«ANNEXES» at the end of the IOM, pages 63& 64, or supplied with the unit.
In case of split units, check the installation has been made according to the recommendation described §
Installation.
The unit refrigeration circuit sketch is given in the «ANNEXES» at the end of the IOM, page 65 to 69 or supplied
with the unit.
The components are located inside the units and must be installed by a qualified engineer.
Note : In case of plate heat exchangers it is mandatory that a filter is installed at exchanger unit entrance.
These filters must remove all particles with a diameter greater than 1 mm.
1) The liquid pump(s) and other apparatus interlocked with the unit (coils, air handling units, dry coolers, cooling
towers, terminals such as fan coil units, etc.) are in working order as required by the installation and according
to their own specific requirements.
Place all water valves and refrigerant valves in their operating positions and start the water circulating
pumps.
Ensure main power supply is isolated before any work is started. Ensure unit is correctly earthed and
that earth continuity is correctly done.
Check that anti-vibration mountings are correclty installated and set.
2) Check the cleanliness and the tightness of all electrical connections, both the connections made at the
factory and the connections made on site. Also make sure that all thermostat bulbs are correctly inserted and

tightened in the various wells, if necessary add heat conducting paste to improve contact. Make sure all sensors
are correctly fitted and that all capillary tubes are fastened.
The technical data printed at the top of the wiring diagram should correspond with those indicated on the unit
nameplate.
3) Make sure that the power supplied to the unit corresponds to its operating voltage and that phase rotation
corresponds to the direction of rotation of the compressors (screw & scroll).
4) Make sure that the water circuits mentioned in 1 are completely filled with water or brine as the case may be;
with the air bled out of all high points, including the evaporator ensuring they are perfectly clean and leaktight.
In the case of machines with water cooled condensers, the condenser water circuit must be ready to operate,
filled with water, pressure tested, bled, filter cleaned after 2 hours of operation of the water pump. Cooling tower

8) On units with air cooled condensers, check for correct operation of the fans and that the protective grilles are
in good condition. Make sure that rotation is in the right direction.
9) On units with ducted fan, check the air flow and duct pressure drop.
On delivery, the drive belts are new and correctly tensioned. After the first 50 operating hours check and adjust
the tension. 80% of the total elongation of belts is generally produced during the first 15 hours of operation.
Before adjusting the tension, make sure that the pulleys are correctly aligned.
To tension the belt, set the height of motor support plate by moving the plate adjustment screws.

Replacement belts must have the same rated size as the ones they are replacing. If a A P
transmission system has several belts, they must all be from the same manufacturing batch
(compare serial numbers).
Installation - Operation - Maintenance manual (IOM) • AIR COOLED CHILLERS & SPLIT UNITS - 0105-E • 19 •
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
NOTE :
An under-tensioned belt will slip, heat and wear prematurely. On the other hand, if a belt is over-
tensioned, the pressure on the bearings will cause them to over-heat and wear prematurely. Incorrect
alignment will also cause the belts to wear prematurely.
The actual resistance of ductwork systems is not always identical to the calculated theoretical values. To rectify
this, it may be necessary to modify the pulley and belt setting. To this effect, the motors are fitted with variable
pulleys.
If the absorbed amps are lower than the rated values, your system has a higher pressure drop than anticipated.
Increase the flow by increasing the rpm. At the same time you will increase the absorbed power which may result
in having to increase the motor size.
10) Before making any electrical connections, check that insulation resistance between power supply connection
terminals is in keeping with applicable regulations. Check the insulation of all electrical motors using a DC 500V
megohmeter, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Do not start any motor whose insulation resistance is lower than 2 mégaohms.
Never start any motor while the system is under a vacuum.

5 - UNIT START-UP
1) Thermometers and pressure switches installed in the chilled water circuit and the condenser water circuit.
Check these safety devices in this order: high pressure switch, differential oil pressure switch, low pressure
switch, fan control pressure switches and thermostats, anti short cycle relay. Make sure all indicator lights
operate correctly.
3) Flow switch installed and wired into the control box operates properly.
4) With the compressor running, check the oil pressure. If there is a fault, do not restart the compressor again until
the source of the problem has been located.
5) Check that there is sufficient cooling load on the day the start up is conducted (at least 50 % of the nominal load).
5-a) Press the power "ON-OFF" switch. The compressor will only start if the evaporating pressure is greater than
the cut-in set point of the low pressure switch.
Check immediately the good rotation of the compressor.
Evaporating pressure drops steadily, the evaporator empties itself of the liquid refrigerant accumulated in
it during storage. After a few seconds, the solenoid valve opens if any.
5-b) Check on the sightglass (upstream of the expansion valve) that the bubbles disappear progressively,
indicating a correct refrigerant charge and without non condensable gas. If the humidity indicator changes
colour, indicating the presence of humidity, replace the filter-drier cartridge if the latter is of the replaceable
type. Even better, check the sub cooling after the condenser.
5-c) Check that, when the cooling load has been balanced by the capacity of the unit, the chilled liquid is at design
temperature.
10) Check suction and discharge pressures and compressor suction and discharge temperatures.
These verifications should be made as quickly as possible with a stable cooling load, i.e. the cooling load of the
installation should be the same as the capacity developed by the unit. Measurements taken without heeding this
condition will result in unusable and probably wrong values.

6.2.1.2 - Filter-drier:
This is designed to remove all traces of humidity from within the refrigeration circuit, since this can impair operation
of the unit, by acidification of the oil, which causes slow disintegration of the varnish protecting the compressor motor
windings.
6.2.1.3 - High and low pressure gauges (option): Enables instantaneous readout of suction and discharge pressures.
Sightglass/humidity indicator: (optional on units fitted with scroll type or reciprocating compressors) :
- Enables visual verification of the state of the liquid refrigerant (monophase ou diphasic) in the liquid line, upstream
of the thermostatic expansion valve.
- Enables detection of humidity in the circuit.

Note: On units fitted with CLIMATIC control, see the appropriate user manual for more specific details.
6.2.1.9 - Differential oil pressure safety switch : (only on units with semi-hermetic compressors)
a) Reciprocating compressors:
This pressure switch initiates unconditional unit stoppage if differential oil pressure drops for more than two minutes
below a pre-established minimum safety value.
Differential oil pressure is the difference between the oil pump discharge pressure and the gas pressure inside the
compressor crankcase (suction pressure). The differential oil pressure safety switch is factory set and is not
modifiable on site.
b) Screw compressors:
This pressure switch initiates unconditional unit stoppage if differential oil pressure rises above a preset safety
value.
Differential oil pressure in this case is high pressure less the compressor oil injection pressure.
6.2.2.5 - Time delay relay for starting compressor motors one winding at a time (option) :
This optional relay is supplied on units ordered with the part winding start system. The time delay between starting
the first winding and the second winding cannot exceed 0.8 seconds.

MAINTENANCE
7. MAINTENANCE
The following maintenance instructions form a part of the operations required for this type of equipment.
However, It is not possible to give fixed and precise rules for permanent maintenance procedures capable of
keeping all units in perfect operating condition since too many factors depending on local conditions specific to the
installation, the way the machine is operated, the frequency of operation, climatic conditions, atmospheric pollution,
etc. Only trained experienced personnel can establish strict maintenance procedures adapted to the conditions
listed above.
Nonetheless, we recommend a regular maintenance schedule :
- 4 times a year for chillers operating all year long
- 2 times a year for chiller that only operate during the cooling season
All operations must be performed in conformity with the maintenance plan; this will extend the service life of the unit
and reduce the number of serious and costly breakdowns.
It is essential to keep a «service log», for weekly records of operating conditions of the machine. This log will serve
as an excellent diagnostic tool for maintenance personnel ; likewise, the machine operator, by noting down changes
in machine operating conditions, will often be able to anticipate and avoid problems before they actually occur or
worsen.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any malfunctioning of any equipment it provides if it is
caused by a lack of maintenance or by operating conditions beyond those recommended in this manual.
Shown below, and as an illustration only, are some of the most common rules applied for maintenance.
1) Check the compressor oil level. This should be half way up the sightglass with the machine running at full load.
Let the compressor operate for 3 to 4 heures before adding any oil. Check the oil level every 30 minutes. If the
level does not reach the level indicated above, contact a qualified refrigeration mechanic.
2) Overcharging with oil can be as dangerous to a compressor as a lack of oil. Before topping up, contact a qualified
technician. Only use oils recommended by the manufacturer. See page 15.
3) Check the oil pressure.
4) The flow of liquid refrigerant through the sightglass should be steady and without bubbles. Bubbles are a sign
of a low charge, a possible leak, or of a restriction in the liquid line. Contact a qualified technician.
Each sightglass is fitted with a humidity indicator. The colour of the element changes according to the level of
humidity in the refrigerant, but also according to temperature. It should indicate «dry refrigerant. If it shows «wet»
or «CAUTION», contact a qualified refrigeration technician.
CAUTION : When starting up the unit, run the compressor for at least 2 hours before taking a humidity reading. The
humidity detector is also sensitive to temperature, and as a consequence, the system must be at normal operating
temperature to give a meaningful reading.
5) Check operating pressures. If they are higher or lower than those recorded when the machine was put into
service, see the chapter 8.
6) Inspect the entire system so as to detect any eventual abnormality: noisy compressor, loose casing panels,
leaky pipes or juddering contacts.
7) Record temperatures, pressures, dates et times and any other observations in the service log.
8) Leak detection is recommended.

MAINTENANCE
7.5 IMPORTANT
Before proceeding with any service operations, make sure that the power supply to the unit is switched off.
When the refrigeration circuit has been opened it will have to be evacuated, recharged, and inspected to ensure
that it is perfectly clean (filter-drier) and leaktight. Remember that only trained and qualified personnel are
authorised to open a refrigeration circuit.
Regulations stipulate recovery of refrigerants and forbid willful discharge of refrigerants into the atmosphere.

TROUBLESHOOTING - REPAIRS
Operation
By reacting to compressor discharge pressure, the high pressure switch monitors efficiency of the
condenser. Poor efficiency, the result of an excessive condensing pressure, is usually caused by :
- A dirty condenser
- Low water flow
- Low air flow
The low pressure switch monitors the pressure at which the refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator tubes.
Low evaporating pressure is usually caused by :
- Low refrigerant charge
- A faulty expansion valve
- An obstructed liquid line filter-drier
- A damaged compressor cylinder bank unloader.
The control thermostat monitors chilled water temperature at the evaporator inlet. The most common
causes of subnormal temperatures in this zone are:
- Low water flow
- Thermostat setting too low
The oil pressure switch monitors oil injection pressure on the compressor.
Low oil pressure is usually caused by :
- Low oil charge
- A worn or faulty oil pump
- A defective crankcase heater, causing condensation of refrigerant in the oil sump.
The above information does not represent a complete analysis of the refrigeration system. It is
intended to
familiarise the operator with unit operation and to provide him with the technical data required to
enable him
to recognise, correct or report a fault.
Only trained and qualified personnel is authorised to service and maintain this equipment.
