10. Refrigerant Type† Sets the refrigerant type used:
HCFC-22 or HFC-134a
*During any of the tests that are not automated, an out-of-range reading will
have an asterisk (*) next to the reading and a message will be displayed.
†Make sure to Attach to Local Device after changing refrigerant type. Refer to
Selecting Refrigerant Type section on page 53. See Fig. 21.
Check Optional Pumpout System Controls and
Compressor —
Controls include an on/off switch, a 3-amp
fuse, the compressor overloads, an internal thermostat,
a compressor contactor, and a refrigerant high pressure
cutout. The high pressure cutout is factory set to open at 220
± 5 psig (1250 ± 34 kPa), and automatically reset at 185
+0,-7 (1280 +0,-48 kPa) with HCFC-22. HFC-134a units open
at 161 psig (1110 kPa) and reset at 130 psig (896 kPa). Check
that the water-cooled condenser has been connected. Loosen
the compressor holddown bolts to allow free spring travel.
Open the compressor suction and discharge service valves.
Check that oil is visible in the compressor sight glass. Add
oil if necessary.
See Pumpout and Refrigerant Transfer Procedures
and Optional Pumpout System Maintenance sections on
pages 61 and 67 for details on transfer of refrigerant, oil speci-
fications, etc.
Charge Refrigerant into Machine
The transfer, addition, or removal of refrigerant in spring
isolated machines may place severe stress on external
piping if springs have not been blocked in both up and
down directions.
The standard 23XL machine will have the refrigerant al-
ready charged in the vessels. The 23XL may be ordered with
a nitrogen holding charge of 15 psig (103 kPa). Evacuate the
entire machine, and charge machine from refrigerant
cylinders.
23XL MACHINE EQUALIZATION WITHOUT
PUMPOUT UNIT
When equalizing refrigerant pressure on the 23XL ma-
chine after service work or during the initial machine
start-up, do not use the discharge isolation valve to equal-
ize. The motor cooling isolation valve should be used as
the equalization valve.
To equalize the pressure differential on a refrigerant iso-
lated 23XL machine, use the TERMINATE LOCKOUT func-
tion of the Control Test from the SERVICE menu. This will
help to turn on pumps and advise the proper procedure. The
following procedure describes how to equalize refrigerant
pressure on an isolated 23XL machine without a pumpout
unit:
1. Access TERMINATE LOCKOUT function on the Con-
trols Test.
2. Turn on the chilled water and condenser water pumps to
ensure against freezing.
3. Slowly open the motor cooling isolation valve 13.
The machine cooler and condenser pressures will gradu-
ally equalize. This process will take approximately
15 minutes.
4. Once the pressures have equalized, the condenser isola-
tion valve and cooler isolation valve may be opened. Re-
fer to Fig. 31-34, Valves 11 and 12.
Whenever turning the discharge isolation valve, be sure
to re-attach the valve locking device. This will prevent
the valve from opening or closing during service work
or during machine operation.
The full refrigerant charge on the 23XL will vary with
machine components and design conditions, indicated on the
job data specifications. An approximate charge may be found
in Table 9.
Always operate the condenser and chilled water pumps
during charging operations to prevent freeze-ups. Use the
Control Test, Terminate Lockout to monitor conditions and
start the pumps.
If the machine has been shipped with a holding charge,
the refrigerant will be added through the refrigerant charg-
ing valve (Fig. 31-34) or to the pumpout charging connec-
tion. First evacuate the nitrogen holding charge from the vessels.
Charge the refrigerant as a gas until the system pressure ex-
ceeds 68 psig (469 kPa) [35 psig (141 kPa)]. After the ma-
chine is beyond this pressure, the refrigerant should be charged
as a liquid until all of the recommended refrigerant charge
has been added.
