Daikin Water Chiller WCC063

Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Daikin chillers are at positive pressure at all times and do not leak contaminated moist air into the refrigerant circuit, thereby eliminating the need for annual oil changes.

An annual laboratory oil check is recommended to check overall compressor condition.

Isolate the filter cavities. Close the oil discharge line service valve at the oil pump (at the filter on CE126).

Remove the filter cover; some foaming can occur but the check valve should limit leakage from other compressor cavities.

Remove the filter, replace with new element, and replace filter cover using a new gasket.

Reopen the valve in the pump discharge line and purge air from the oil filter cavity.

When machine is operated again, the oil level must be checked to determine if oil needs to be added to maintain the proper operating level.

At every inspection, the oil, suction, and discharge pressures should be noted and recorded, as well as condenser and chiller water temperatures.

The suction line temperature at the compressor should be taken at least once a month.

Warning: This maintenance check requires trained personnel with PPE!

Enter the leaving water temperature

Enter the saturated refrigerant temperature

Calculate the approach temperature (subtract saturated refrigerant temperature from leaving water temperature)

Note: Daikin's high efficiency heat exchangers have very low design approach temperatures, in the order of one to one and one half degrees F.

Is the approach temperature within the normal range?

If the approach temperature has increased by two-degrees or more, it could indicate that excessive tube fouling is present.

Enter the condenser pressure drop

Examine Contactors (hardware and operation)

Verify Overload Setting and Trip

Test Electrical Connections (Infrared temp measurement)

Test operation of Pump Interlocks

Test operation of Guardistor and Surgeguard

Test operation of High and Low Pressure Cutouts

Test operation of Oil Pump Pressure Differential Cutout

Test operation of Oil Pump Time Delay

At least once a quarter, all equipment protection controls except compressor overloads should be made to operate and their operating points checked.

Check if Pump interlocks and flow switches interrupt the control circuit when tripped.

Inspect and clean the contactors in the motor starter
