3. WATER PIPING
1) Specify the chilled water inlet nozzle at the right side or the left side on the OUTLINE
DIMENSIONS. The inlet nozzle for cooling water is always to the left side of the
machine as shown in the OUTLINE DIMENSIONS. Refer to the OUTLINE
DIMENSIONS and the specification data sheet regarding the nozzle positions, nozzle
side and water pressure drop.

2) The specifications of nozzle flanges of chilled water and cooling water of the Absorption
chiller is stated in SPECIFICATION DATA SHEET. Companion flanges and bolts
shall be provided by vendor.
3) The maximum allowable working pressure of chilled water lines and cooling water lines
is stated in SPECIFICATION DATA SHEET. Regarding the installed positions of the
chilled water pump, the cooling water pump and the expansion tank or pressurization
unit, design their installed positions so that pressure does not exceed the above
maximum pressure on the Absorption chiller water box when considering both static
water head and pump head.
4) Install stainers of 10 meshes or more at the inlet lines of chilled water and cooling water
to prevent foreign objects entering tubes.
5) Keep the chilled water and the cooling water flow rate always at the specified flow rate.
Install thermometers and pressure gauges immediately adjacent to inlet and outlet of
chilled and cooling water connections to allow easy maintenance. It is recommended
that a flow meter should be provided on the chilled water lines in order to measure the
refrigerating capacity by comparing chilled water flowrate with inlet and outlet
temperatures.
6) Chilled water pump and cooling water pump should be designed specifically for use on
each Absorption chiller.
7) Install an expansion tank or pressurization unit on the chilled water line. ( Refer to the
attached PIPING FLOW SHEET ).
8) 3/4 sockets or Rc3/4 female screws are provided to fit an air vent and a drain valve on
each water box. Mount the respective stop valves to them and run piping into the drain
pit. Install air vent valves at suitable locations on the chilled water piping or the cooling
water piping to eliminate water hammer and air locks.
9) Allow sufficient access for cleaning or replacing tubes.

10) Provide an adequate water source for tube cleaning.
11) In hydraulic pressure tests of chilled water lines or cooling water lines, always confirm
the test pressure marked on water box flange section of each line and under no
circumstances exceed the marked test pressure. Further, never execute the pressure
test using gas. pressure tests using gas can be very dangerous due to the risk of broken
pieces scattering under failure.

13) If the cooling water inlet temperature can fall below 15 deg C at a steady load operation,
provide a by-pass valve for the cooling tower or contriol the cooling water temperature
by scheduling operation of the cooling tower fan(s) so that water does not fall below
15deg C.
14) Connect piping between the absorber and the condenser water box nozzle.
(16JSE032-080, RAW)
15) Install short bent pipes as shown in the drawing below, in the nozzle section of
each water box in order to enable opening of the water box cover.
16) Install a stop valve for chemical tube cleaning on the cooling water pump delivery line.
(Refer to an attached PIPING FLOW SHEET ).
17) Apply adequate supports and flexible piping etc, so that piping weight and vibration have
no direct effect on the Absorption chiller.
4. STEAM PIPING
1) If there is any possibility of the steam supply pressure exceeding 0.78MPaG, a pressure
reducing valve and a safety valve(blow off pressure : 0.88MPaG) should be furnished on
the steam pipe line. The exhaust pipe from the safety valve should be run to a safe
location external to the building.
2) If supply steam temperature to be used is to exceed 175 deg C, a proper

countermeasure such as a desuperheater etc. is to be provided. Contact Ebara for
further information.

3) Strainers having 80-100 meshes should be located on the upstream side of the
capacity control valve together with a reducer valve (if provided ).
4) Steam traps should be installed in steam supply line up-stream of steam valve.
5) Allow a length of straight pipe of 1 metre or 10 pipe diameters, whichever is the longer,
before and after the control valve. Piping between the capacity control valve and
generator inlet should slope downwards least 0.2m to prevent flow - back of drain.
6) The capacity control valve (=the steam control valve) is sized by calculating rated supply
pressure ( inlet side of the capacity control valve) and the rated steam consumption. If
the valve size is smaller than the piping diameter, inlet and outlet piping diameter is to
be reduced gradually with pipe reducing fittings.
7) A pressure gauge (range : 0-1.5MPaG) are to be installed respectively before and after
the capacity control valve. It is recommended that by - pass piping around the capacity
control valve be provided for convenient maintenance and inspection of the control valve.
8) Installation of the nozzle flange of the generator should be detachable so that bolts can
be easily tightened after initial steam application.
9) Install short bent pipes as shown in the drawing below, in the nozzle section of the
steam box on the high temperature generator in order to enable opening of the steam
box cover.
1 10) Connect the generator nozzle using a flexible pipe or equivalent to prevent the nozzle
flange of the generator from excess force due to thermal expansion.
11) A check valve and a stop valve should be installed at the outlet of steam drain.

12) In applications employing electrical capacity control, install wiring between the capacity
control valve motor and the junction box mounted on Absorption chiller at job site. If
pneumatic capacity control is used, install air piping between the actuator of the capacity
control valve and the temperature controller mounted on the Absorption chiller.
13) Allowable back pressure on the steam condensate outlet of the chiller is 0.05MPaG
when the steam supply pressure is 0.78MPaG. Steam condensate piping shall be
designed suitable for those pressure.
14) In case of installation of any Absorption chiller, each Absorption chiller should be
installed the separate steam drain piping. If that piping should be used in common, it will
be possible to make troubles.
15) Control the water quality for steam according to the following table.
Steam Condensate Quality Standard

5. HANDLING OF THE RUPTURE DISK
Rapture disk should be handled carefully to prevent external damage during transportation
or setting-up of Absorption chiller.
Install appropriate piping from the rupture disk to safety place where nobody is damaged
with spouted solution or refrigerant vapor from the rupture disk at the burst of the rupture
disk.
Accumulating tank to keep those liquids from the rupture disk is recommended to install at
the intermediate of exhaust piping line to prevent discharging to the surroundings.
6. TYPICAL RELIEF PIPING FROM FUSIBLE PLUG
1) Be sure not to loose the machine side thread of the fusible plug when the exhaust piping
work behind the fusible plug is performed. The loosen connection may cause air
tightness trouble .
2) Perform the exhaust piping work in order to assemble or disassemble itself easily. It
makes easy to do air tightness test around the fusible plug at periodical maintenance.
3) Apply adequate supports so that the fusible plug exhaust piping weight have no direct
effect on the fusible plug.

To pursue the purposes of the PRTR Law and the MSDS Law enacted/enforced to promote improvements
in the voluntary control of chemical substances by businesses and to prevent any impediment in
environmental protection, considerations for environmental conservation are given below.
Mishandling absorption chillers (generally referring to absorption chillers and chiller-heaters) and their
accessories may impose extra burden on the environment. To operate them or perform work/maintenance
for them, pay close attention to the following considerations.
Reference) PRTR Law: Law Concerning Reporting, etc. of Release of Specific Chemical
Substances to the Environment and Promotion of the Improvement of Their
Management (PRTR stands for Pollutant Release and Transfer Register.)
MSDS Law: Ministerial Ordinance to Define the Method of Offering
Information on the Properties and Handling of Specific Chemical Substances
(MSDS stands for Material Safety Data Sheet.)
1. Chemical substances
The following chemical substances are generally used for newly installed absorption chillers.
They are not specific chemical substances subject to the PRTR Law.
Absorbent (Molybdenum based): Lithium bromide solution (containing less than 0.1 % of inhibitor):
approx. 1000 kg/100 USRt
Performance enhancement agent:Octyl alcohol:approx. 3.8 L x 1 bottle/100USRT
Lubricant: Mineral oil (attached to models with a purge (vacuum) pump): 500 mL x 3 bottles/unit
Sealant: Anaerobic sealant: 50 mL x 1 to 2 bottles/unit
(attached for on-site welding if a split unit is carried in)
Pure water (ion-exchanged water) of 50 to 500 kg (per unit) may be attached as a refrigerant.
The quantities above are for reference only. For actual quantities required for specific chillers, contact
us or your service agent after checking the serial number written on the nameplate.
2. Packaging materials
For unnecessary packaging materials after carry-in/installation, have them disposed of by a specialist
company.
2-1 For cardboard boxes, wooden crates, and plastics, have them disposed of by a specialist company.
2-2 Steel materials, such as frames used for carry-in, can be disposed of by us at your cost.
3. Absorbent
An absorption chiller is filled with an absorbent (lithium bromide solution), a refrigerant (pure water), and a
small amount of performance enhancement agent (Octyl alcohol). The absorbent (lithium bromide
solution) contains a trace of inhibitor.
If the chiller is damaged or if its valves are mishandled, the undiluted absorbent may leak through the drain
to the outside of the building. To prevent it, pay attention to the following.
3-1 Facility considerations

The following measures should be implemented to protect against possible leakage.
To prevent the absorbent from leaking into the foundation, the surface of the chiller installation floor
should be waterproof/water-repellent.
Also, a measure to prevent the absorbent from flowing directly into the drain should be provided.
For example, a temporary shut-off mechanism for the drain port with liquid absorbing materials
around it or a flood prevention ditch/weir around the chiller may be provided on.

Introduction
3-2 Considerations upon carry-in/installation
When carrying in and installing the chiller filled with the absorbent, pay close attention not to damage
it. Particularly, small tubing and valves should be protected from being stepped on.
3-3 Considerations upon storage

Do not touch the valves in the chiller.
If the chiller is under vacuum, never perform welding for vacuum sections, such as the shell.
During storage, monitor changes in the internal pressure by the vacuum gauge on the chiller.
To store the absorbent in plastic containers, keep them out of reach and handle them carefully. Put
plastic sheets on the floor, and make sure that the containers are stacked in 2 layers or less.
Protection measures (fall prevention, sunshade sheet to protect from solar radiation through
windows,etc.) should be provided.
In the vicinity of the storage area, avoid performing any work that may damage plastic containers,
such as welding.
3-4 Filling/adjusting the absorbent

Your service agent will fill the chiller with the absorbent at the time of commissioning. Please inform
us of the date of commissioning as soon as fixed.
The absorbent will be adjusted by your service agent based on the analysis of absorbent samples
taken periodically. Please request us for the work. More frequent absorbent adjustments (every 2 to
3 months) are required for chillers that are operated for a longer time per day.
If the absorbent must be replenished, contact us so that your service agent refills the chiller with the
specified absorbent.
3-5 Considerations during operation

Be careful not to touch the valves in the chiller and not to step on small tubing and valves to avoid
damaging them.
Perform a regular check around the chiller at least once a day.
If a leak is found, immediately stop the chiller and inform your service agent of the leak location,
condition, and amount.
The absorbent itself is odorless, but the inhibitor mixed in it is volatile and has an alcohol odor. The
absorbent may cause metal corrosion, leather/fiber shrinkage, or skin irritation. Wear rubber gloves,
protective goggles, etc. to avoid directly contacting it. If the absorbent contacts your body, wash off
with plenty of water. Also, thoroughly clean or wash fixtures, tools, clothes, etc. with water, and
provide rust prevention measures (e.g. greasing) for metal parts.
Upon leakage, close it by securing a plastic sheet, etc. to the leak location.
When an auxiliary vacuum pump for maintenance is available on the chiller side, perform vacuum
extraction from the shell of the chiller.
Wipe the spilled absorbent using highly absorbable materials, such as sand, sawdust, waste paper,
and waste cloth. Seal the used absorbing materials in plastic bags/containers and have them
disposed of by a specialist company. Use water to thoroughly clean or wash the floor surface that
the absorbent contacted. Then, clean or wash the floor surface with water again after drying for
about one day. Do not discharge the absorbent directly to the drain. If the absorbent is discharged
from the drain, perform emergency measures, such as temporarily shutting off the flow.
If there is a possibility of discharging the absorbent to the drain, flush the drain with sufficient water
to dilute the absorbent (65 times in weight or 100 times in volume of the discharged absorbent) for
odor or metal corrosion prevention.
3-6 Considerations upon absorbent disposal

For a used absorbent/refrigerant extracted from the chiller upon maintenance, etc., have it disposed
of by your service agent. Do not discharge it directly to the drain.

Introduction
3-7 Considerations upon chiller disposal/scrapping

Request us to handle the absorbent in the chiller in advance.
Special knowledge and techniques, such as treating the absorbent accumulated in the chiller, are
required to address possible absorbent leakage during scrapping. Your service agent will extract and
collect all the remaining absorbent.
The collected absorbent will be treated by a specialist company for reusing it as a resource.
4. Oil
To manage a lubricant for the purge pump (if provided with absorption chillers/chiller-heaters) or a fuel oil
for oil-fired chiller-heaters, pay attention to the following.
4-1 Lubricant
Add an appropriate amount of the lubricant to the purge pump while checking the oil gauge after
stopping the pump. If the proper level is exceeded, discharge the excessive lubricant from the drain
valve. Overfilling may cause the blowout of the lubricant from the pump discharge during pump
operation. If the accumulation of condensed water in the lubricant exceeds the proper level, the
lubricant may also blow out from the pump discharge during pump operation. Check the oil gauge
periodically and discharge the excessive lubricant from the drain valve, if required.
The lubricant should be replaced periodically. Use the specified lubricant only. Waste lubricant may
contain the absorbent, water, and performance inhibitor. Have it disposed of by a specialist company.
Do not discharge waste lubricant directly to the drain.
4-2 Fuel
Oil fired absorption chiller/heater damages the fuel oil piping etc. or mistakes the handling such as
valves and does the oil leakage etc. The fuel oil might flow out directly from the drain ditch outside
the building. Please note each item.
Asking in equipment
It must not flow directly into the drain ditch when the fuel oil leaks.
For Example, the outlet stopping lid is prepared. Or, the fuel equipment and piping are made a
coating that prevents oil. There is a method of setting up the side ditch and the oil retaining wall.
Asking under use
The fuel oil must use specified oil. Oil outside specification might interfere to pakkin used for the
oil piping and other parts. Please note it.
Please do not touch mistaking it to valves of the fuel oil piping. Please do not damage it by putting
the foot on the small piping and valves.
Please open a fuel oil supply former valve after confirming oil doesn't leak when
it starts every day first time. Please check the machine surroundings once or more a day going.
Please promptly stop the machine, intercept the fire, and close a former valve of the fuel oil
service tank when the fuel oil begins to leak from the fuel piping (The equipment side is laid, and
include it in equipment). Please contact the leakage location, the leakage condition, and the leak
rate, etc. our service technology member of charge.
Please close the upstream side valve in the vicinity of the leakage location.
Please do not throw the fuel oil directly to the drain ditch.
Please give the emergency measure such as damming up temporarily when flowing out
from the drain ditch.
Please spread the material that absorbs oil when leaking to the floor side.
Asking a long time stopping
The fuel oil supply valve is to close without fail and confirm that it is, please when you stop the
machine for a long time.
5. Exhaust gas
Absorption chiller-heaters are not legally defined as boilers. However, they may be deemed as
soot/smoke emitting facilities depending on the firing rate; in such cases, they are subject to the
emission standard of soot/dust, SOx, and NOx set by the Air Pollution Control Law. Consult your local

Introduction
Bureau of Environmental Protection since the emission of exhaust gas is regulated differently by each
prefecture's ordinances, and related laws/ordinances may be revised. The user may be required to
periodically submit the report of measurements after starting chiller operation.
For EBARAs absorption chiller-heaters, burner combustion has been adjusted to satisfy the emission
standard. Use the specified gas and operate the chiller within the rated firing rate. Using a fuel that
consists of different components or of low quality may cause poor combustion, and the exhaust gas may
impose extra burden on the environment.
If the burner must be adjusted, have it adjusted by your service agent.
6. Energy saving operation

Perform the inspection and maintenance of ancillary facilities so that no energy is wasted during the
operation of absorption chiller-heaters.
6-1 Water quality in the cooling water system

With facilities that are open to air and are highly likely to cause water contamination (cooling water
system, etc.), chiller efficiency may decrease due to scale in the heat transmission tubes that
interrupts heat transmission. Control the water quality properly; if required, remove scale in the heat
transmission tubes in the cooling water system.
6-2 Cooling water pump and cooling tower

A decrease in the cooling capacity of cooling water reduces chiller efficiency. To check if the cooling
water circulation pump is operated under rated conditions or if the cooling tower capacity is sufficient,
monitor that the chiller runs with its cooling water inlet/outlet temperature within the specified range.
6-3 Vapor drain system

For chillers using steam as a heat source, the strainer in the steam drain system may be clogged
due to the effect of steam boiler chemicals. Clean the strainer, if required.
6-4 Cooling load

If cooling (heating) load is low, and the temperature regulation based on the chilled (hot) water
temperature frequently starts/stops, energy can be saved by setting a larger differential between the
thresholds for automatic stop and automatic restart to reduce the start/stop frequency, or if possible,
by stopping the temperature regulation.
Absorption chillers maximize the performance of cooling operation in the absorber by concentrating
the absorbent in the generator. When not in use, the absorbent is normally diluted to a uniform
internal concentration to prevent crystallization. If cooling load is too low, the absorbent is
concentrated by the heat source in the generator after startup. However, the temperature regulation
stops soon, and dilution operation for uniform concentration starts. Such frequent start/stop
operations waste energy.
7. Maintenance and inspection

To minimize aging, maintain optimal conditions, and provide efficient operation, perform periodic
maintenance/inspection, as well as overhaul and parts replacement as required. Maintenance support
and maintenance contracts, is provided by us. Please make a request, if required.
7-1 Maintenance management

The following items are important for the maintenance management of absorption chillers.
Vacuum management (air-tightness, purge equipment, etc.)
Absorbent management (corrosion suppressant, alkalinity, products, etc.)
Water quality management (chilled water, cooling water, and hot water systems)
Heat source facility management (combustion, steam, and heat source hot water facilities)

Introduction
7-2 Periodic inspection
For the details of periodic inspection and periodic replacement of consumable parts, see the
appropriate section of this Instruction Manual. Use the specified parts for replacement. Have repair
and replacement performed by your service agent.
7-3 Prolonged shutdown

To stop using the chiller for a long period, make sure that the heat source or fuel gas supply valve is
closed. During prolonged shutdown, keep power supplied to the chiller control panel (required for
preserving microcomputer memory). To stop using the chiller for six months or longer, it is
recommended to fill the unit with nitrogen gas for preventing air from entering the unit and to provide
protection measures for electric instruments (e.g. rust prevention with desiccant agents). Have such
preparations made by your service agent. It is also recommended to drain the cooling water system
after tube cleaning for antifreeze and to refill it with nitrogen gas for rust prevention.
7-4 Unnecessary parts

For unnecessary parts after replacement, have them disposed of by a specialist company. For
absorbent disposal, see Section 3-6. For lubricant disposal, see Section 4-1.
8. Relocation/disposal of equipment
To relocate, dispose of, or scrap an absorption chiller, special knowledge and techniques, such as handling
the absorbent in the unit, are required. Never discharge the absorbent in the chiller directly to
the drain.
8-1 Relocation
To relocate the chiller to another site, consult your service agent on absorbent handling, vacuum
maintenance, equipment protection, etc.
8-2 Before disposal/scrapping

Have the absorbent in the chiller handled by your service agent in advance (see Section 3-7).
8-3 Disposal/scrapping
Have the chiller disposed of/scrapped by a specialist company that separates materials, such as
copper and steel, for reusing them as resources.

Chapter 2 Functions and Appearance

Functions .
Appearance .
Functions
The REW series absorption chiller is a double-effect absorption chiller powered by steam.
It uses water as refrigerant and lithium bromide (LiBr) as absorbent. It uses an evaporator
to produce chilled water for cooling.
As can be seen from the appearance, the absorption chiller integrates an evaporator, an
absorber, a condenser and a low temperature generator inside a shell housing, with the
high- temperature generator deployed alongside the shell. The other components of the
machine are the solution heat exchanger, solution pump, spray pump, refrigerant pump,
steam control valve and control panel.
Major components and their functions
Evaporator
Refrigerant liquid is sprayed onto the evaporator tubes and vaporized under high vacuum;
the refrigerant on the surfaces of the tubes takes evaporation latent heat from the cold
water flowing inside the pipes, thus lowering the temperature of the chilled water.
Absorber
Absorbent is sprayed onto the absorber tubes by solution spray pump, where it absorbs
the refrigerant vaporized from the evaporator. The absorption heat generated by such
absorption is taken up by the cooling water flowing inside the tubes, enabling absorption to
continue on the outsides of the tubes. Absorbent that has absorbed refrigerant vapor and
been diluted thereby (referred to as weak solution below) is sent by the solution pump to
the high- temperature generator and low temperature generator, via the solution heat
exchanger.
High temperature generator
In the high temperature generator, the weak solution sent from the absorber by the solution
pump is heated by steam supplied from the high-temperature generator. When heated, the
weak solution gives off high-temperature refrigerant vapor, and thereby becomes
concentrated once again (referred to as strong solution below). This strong solution is
returned to the absorber via the solution heat exchanger.
Low temperature generator
The high-temperature refrigerant vapor generated by the high temperature generator is
drawn into the low temperature generator tubes, and heats the solution on the outsides of
the tubes, thereby concentrating the solution. The concentrated solution (absorbent) is
then returned to the absorber as strong solution, via the solution heat exchanger.
Condenser
In the condenser, the refrigerant vapor generated by the low temperature generator while
heating the solution is cooled by the cooling water flowing through the condensers heat
transmission tubes, and is thereby condensed into liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant
is returned to the evaporator, where it is once more sprayed onto the evaporators heat
transmission tubes
PM10U
Solution heat exchangers

The solution heat exchangers effect exchange of heat between the low temperature weak
solution from the high and low temperature generators and the high temperature strong
solution from the high and low temperature generators, so as to enhance the thermal
efficiency of the absorption chiller.
Drain heat exchanger
To weak solution of low temperature sent from absorber to high temperature regenerator
and What condenses steam used to heat high temperature regenerator and became drain
water are heat exchanged. As a result, the efficiency of the absorption freezer rises.
Refrigerant heat exchanger
To Refrigerant sent from condenser to evaporator and a part of cooling water that flows in
absorber are heat exchanged. As a result, the efficiency of the absorption freezer rises.
Steam control valve
This electrically operated steam control valve receives signal from the control panel and
controls the amount of steam flowing to the high-temperature generator in response to
changes in cooling load. Thus, the cooling water inlet temperature is maintained at
specified temperature.
Solution pump, spray pump, and refrigerant pump
Since they must be able to resist vacuum pressure, these pumps are hermetic pumps.
Each pump uses some of its discharge fluid (solution or refrigerant) as the lubricant for its
bearings and as the coolant for its motor.
Control panel
The operation of the absorption chiller is controlled by microcomputer. The control panel
houses functions indispensable for the operation of the absorption chiller, including
detection by safety circuits, operational control of the various equipment and valves and
capacity control. The panel also provides displays giving accurate indications of the
operating conditions.

About the solution
The absorption chiller uses a solution of lithium bromide (chemical formula LiBr)
This lithium bromide solution is referred to as the solution.
Important points in solution management
Corrosion suppressant and alkalinity adjustment agent are added to the solution.
These additives are gradually consumed. Therefore, the solution must be sampled
periodically, the samples analyzed for corrosion suppressant concentration, alkalinity
and sediment, etc., and the additives replenished as necessary according to the
analysis results.
CAUTION
Be sure to adjust the solution periodically. Prolonged operation without adjustment
of the solution will drastically curtail the machines service life.
Analysis of the solution should be performed by persons with specialist skills.
Performance enhancing agent (Octylalcohol)

A special alcohol should be added to the solution as a special enhancing agent to
enhance its absorption performance. This alcohol should be added to the solution
periodically. Have this operation performed by our companys specialist technicians.
Disposal of solution
The solution does not contain any harmful substances, but nevertheless it should be
disposed of by a specialist waste treatment company.
CAUTION
Be sure to consult with our company before disposing of the solution.
Analysis of solution in heavy load machines

In absorption chillers that operate form more than 1500 cooling hours per year, the
solution will have to be analyzed more frequently. Consult our company regarding the
required analysis frequency.
Especially ,sufficient care, such as solution control of every 750 hours for first 1,500
hours operation, should be paid to the heavy duty machines.
PM15U
Water quality treatment and cleaning of tubes

CAUTION
Be sure to treat the cooling water and chilled water.
Why is water quality treatment necessary?
If scale or slime adheres to the insides of the heat transmission tubes (due to
low water quality), the machines performance will fall.
Particular care must be taken with the cooling water, which is exposed to the
atmosphere in the cooling tower; if harmful substances (sulfur oxides, etc.) or
dust in the atmosphere get into the cooling water and become concentrated in it,
the result will be corrosion of the tubes and a marked shortening of the
absorption chillers service life.
Therefore, pay attention to the installation environment and the quality of the
supply water, and manage so that an adequate blow quantity (concentration
rate) is secured.
Manage the quality of the cooling water and chilled water to conform to the standard
values laid down by the Japan Refrigeration Association in their Water Quality
Guidelines for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Equipment (JRA-GL-02-1994). As
summary of those standards is given in Table 5.1.
Cleaning of tubes
The tubes of the absorber, condenser and evaporator should be cleaned at least
once a year using brushes or chemical agents.
If the absorption chiller is operated with scale adhering to the tube insides, its
efficiency will be markedly reduced, and corrosion of the tubes, with consequent
loss of airtightness, could result.
If the scale adhering to the tube insides is light scale, i.e. calcium carbonate or silica,
etc., and cannot be removed with a brush, use a chemical cleaning agent to remove
it.
CAUTION
Cleaning of the tubes requires specialist skills, so have it performed by a specialist
company.

PM15U
Action for long-term stoppage

If there is danger that the temperature around the absorption chiller will fall,
causing the water in it to freeze, completely purge the water systems (chilled water
and cooling water systems) of all their water.
Make sure that the master steam supply valve is fully closed.
Normally, the inside of the absorption chiller may be left under vacuum during
prolonged stoppage.
When the absorption chiller is to be left out of use for a prolonged period in the
wintertime, it may be necessary to take measures to prevent the main body from
freezing.
Ask our company for details of such measures.
During prolonged stoppage, periodically observe and record the readings of the
compound gauge attached to the high temperature generator, in order to check the
main bodys airtightness.
Should the readings indicate that the inside pressure is increasing, contact our
company.
If the chilled water is not chilled properly when operation is restarted after a
prolonged stoppage, use an auxiliary vacuum pump to draw out any remaining
uncondensible gas.
This vacuum extraction operation is covered by the Maintenance Contract.
Have our company perform it if you have a Maintenance Contract with us.
Periodic inspection
Periodic inspection of the absorption chiller is an effective form of preventive
maintenance, and will facilitate early detection of faults (should they occur) and
determination of fault causes. A list of items for periodic inspection is given in Table
5.2.
In order to maintain the efficiency of the absorption chiller at a high level and ensure
that it fully exploits its potential, you are recommended to establish methods for
inspection and management in advance, and conduct them according to such
methods.

depending on degree of contamination.
Perform air purging at least twice a day, using the auto air purge unit (the
automatic purging unit is an option).
Perform filtering of the solution (the solution filter is an option).
PM15U
Purge unit
The hydrogen gas generated in the absorption chiller is discharged from the purge
tank outside the machine with the purge pump.
Purge pump is driven in the automatic operation in setting it concerning the
automatic purge device at set intervals of time, and no condensation gas in the
purge tank is exhausted outside the machine
Please consult the field engineer of charge about the setting.
Please exchange the oil of the purge pump regularly while confirming the dirt
condition.
As a rule, the manual purge operation during the season is unnecessary.
Refrigerant automatic operation reproduction circuit

The solution mist mixes with the refrigerant side when it keeps driving the chiller
continuously for a long time. The purity of the refrigerant might decrease, and the
refrigerating capacity decrease.
Therefore, the refrigerant is by the refrigerant automatic operation
reproduction.
When the circuit use the refrigerant automatic operation reproduction circuit sets
the start time and the time of the refrigerant reproduction with the control board.
The dilution valve is compulsorily opened, and the refrigerant in the evaporator is
transported to the solution while the refrigerant is reproducing. Please note that the
refrigerating capacity will temporarily decrease.
Please set the refrigerant automatic operation reproduction driving time within a
day at time zone with few frozen loads.
Solution filter
An oxide generated due to the deterioration of the solution and in-flight impurities
can be removed by using the solution filter. A part of the exhaled solution is filtered
from the solution pump with the solution filter, and it returns it to the absorber.
Please regularly wash and exchange filters. Washing and the exchange time of the
filter are different according to the driving situation etc. of the absorption chiller.
Please consult the field engineer of charge.
It wishes the order to the service agency of charge because a special technology
is necessary for the clearing work of the filter.

these operations performed by our company.
Use only genuine Ebara products for replacement parts.
PM15U
Valve operation
The absorption chiller contains a large number of valves, both manually operated
valves and automatic control valves. Operating these valves incorrectly could lead
to equipment damage, air leaks and consequent deterioration of the absorption
chiller interior, or else to other trouble such as leakage of absorbent outside the
machine. Normally, you should avoid touching the valves.
Useful tips
Operate the chilled water and cooling water tubing system valves as necessary to
perform air vent and drainage.
Also operate the fuel system tubing valves as necessary to perform air vent and
drainage.
PM15U
Cautions for use

Do not place flammable substances in the machines vicinity
Do not place easily combustible substances such as gasoline, kerosene and
thinner in the machines surrounding area. Doing so could result in explosion or
fire.
Do not turn off the power
Leave the main circuit breaker (inside the control panel) permanently turned on. If
they are turned off, the control panel will stop functioning.
Leave the protective and control devices alone
Under normal circumstances, do not touch the protective and control devices. If
you have to touch them for some reason, be sure to obtain instructions from our
company beforehand.
Repair, and parts replacement
NEVER remodel or alter the machine, in whole or in part, without first obtaining
Ebaras approval. We are not liable for any remodeling or alteration made to the
machine without Ebaras approval.
For repair and replacement, use only genuine Ebara parts.
Cautions regarding use of transceiver, etc.
The absorption chiller is controlled by a microcomputer. Transceivers, mobile
phones and the like emit radio waves which will adversely affect (in the form of
noise) the control panel (which contains the microcomputer), the thermosensors
and other control equipment if such items are used bear to such control
equipment. Therefore, if such items must be used in the vicinity of the absorption
chiller, determine positions (areas) in which it will be safe to use them (i.e. where
they will not affect control equipment. Therefore, if such items must be used in the
vicinity of the absorption chiller, determine positions (areas) in which it will be safe
to use them (i.e. where they will not affect control equipment), and only use them
in such positions. As a rule of thumb, such items should only be used at a
distance of at least 10m from the machine.

Do not turn off the control panels main circuit breaker (MCB) when the absorption
chiller stops. Leave them permanently turned on.
Close the steam supply valve.
Useful hints Temperature regulation stoppage

If the load falls below the absorption chillers control range, so that the chilled water
is too cold, the steam control valve closes completely and temporally stops the
supply of steam. This is called temperature regulation stoppage.
The supply of steam is resumed automatically when the chilled waters
temperature rises to an appropriate level. (The chilled water pump runs
continuously.)
Do not close the master steam supply valve when temperature regulation stoppage
occurs.

When temperature regulation stoppage occurs,

the chilled water pump continues running, but
the cooling water pump stops after about 5
minutes.
Fault stop
If some fault occurs during operation, a protective device will be activated, and the
machine will implement fault stop. When this happens:
The alarm buzzer will sound.
The absorption chiller will stop automatically.
Immediately carry out the corrective action procedure below:

Cautions for operation

Unloaded operation
Power failure
Cooling water temperature
1) No-load operation
Make sure that the absorption chiller has a chilled water load of some kind (e.g. by
running the air handling unit or air terminal) during operation or dilution.
If there is no load, the temperature of the chilled water will drop sharply, leading to
freezing of the machine.
During operation and dilution, do not make the cooling water pump stop for any
reason. Stopping the pump will result in freezing of the evaporator tubes.

Provided that the conditions stipulated in the above checks are met, stop the
chilled water pump.
Stopping the chilled water pump without the conditions being met (i.e. before
operation/dilution and the solution pump have stopped) could lead to freezing
due to overcooling.
2) Power failure
Machines condition when outage occurs
1) If an outage occurs during operation, the absorption chiller will stop, unless
dilution is in progress.
2) If the solutions concentration is high when an outage occurs, it could crystallize
if it is left immobile inside the machine.
Action for power failure
Restart the absorption chiller as soon as possible after the power supply is
resumed.
In the case of an outage lasting 10 minutes or longer, the 7-segment display will
show:
When this display appears, carry out resetting and resume operation.
Should the solution crystallize, rendering operation impossible, contact our
company.
If the machine stops due to outage during remote control operation, go to the
machine and check for problems (crystallization, etc.)
3) Cooling water temperature
If the cooling water inlet temperature is extremely low when the machine is run in
cooling operation (in the winter and other cold times of the year), temperature
control will be necessary to regulate cooling tower bypass and/or the starting and
stopping of the cooling tower fan.
If the auxiliary equipment coupled operation circuits inside the control panel are
used, starting and stopping of the cooling tower fan can be controlled. Such control
is automatic.
Avoid rapid variations in cooling water temperature. Rapid variation will disturb the
absorption chiller and make stable operation impossible.

CAUTION
Be sure to adjust the solution periodically. Prolonged operation without adjustment
of the solution will drastically curtail the machines service life.
Analysis of the solution should be performed by persons with specialist skills.
Performance enhancing agent (Octylalcohol)

A special alcohol should be added to the solution as a special enhancing agent to
enhance its absorption performance. This alcohol should be added to the solution
periodically. Have this operation performed by our companys specialist technicians.
Disposal of solution
The solution does not contain any harmful substances, but nevertheless it should be
disposed of by a specialist waste treatment company.
CAUTION
Be sure to consult with our company before disposing of the solution.
Analysis of solution in heavy load machines

In absorption chillers that operate form more than 1500 cooling hours per year, the
solution will have to be analyzed more frequently. Consult our company regarding the
required analysis frequency.
Especially ,sufficient care, such as solution control of every 750 hours for first 1,500
hours operation, should be paid to the heavy duty machines.
PM15U
Water quality treatment and cleaning of tubes

CAUTION
Be sure to treat the cooling water and chilled water.
Why is water quality treatment necessary?
If scale or slime adheres to the insides of the heat transmission tubes (due to
low water quality), the machines performance will fall.
Particular care must be taken with the cooling water, which is exposed to the
atmosphere in the cooling tower; if harmful substances (sulfur oxides, etc.) or
dust in the atmosphere get into the cooling water and become concentrated in it,
the result will be corrosion of the tubes and a marked shortening of the
absorption chillers service life.
Therefore, pay attention to the installation environment and the quality of the
supply water, and manage so that an adequate blow quantity (concentration
rate) is secured.
Manage the quality of the cooling water and chilled water to conform to the standard
values laid down by the Japan Refrigeration Association in their Water Quality
Guidelines for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Equipment (JRA-GL-02-1994). As
summary of those standards is given in Table 5.1.
Cleaning of tubes
The tubes of the absorber, condenser and evaporator should be cleaned at least
once a year using brushes or chemical agents.
If the absorption chiller is operated with scale adhering to the tube insides, its
efficiency will be markedly reduced, and corrosion of the tubes, with consequent
loss of airtightness, could result.
If the scale adhering to the tube insides is light scale, i.e. calcium carbonate or silica,
etc., and cannot be removed with a brush, use a chemical cleaning agent to remove
it.
CAUTION
Cleaning of the tubes requires specialist skills, so have it performed by a specialist
company.

PM15U
Action for long-term stoppage

If there is danger that the temperature around the absorption chiller will fall,
causing the water in it to freeze, completely purge the water systems (chilled water
and cooling water systems) of all their water.
Make sure that the master steam supply valve is fully closed.
Normally, the inside of the absorption chiller may be left under vacuum during
prolonged stoppage.
When the absorption chiller is to be left out of use for a prolonged period in the
wintertime, it may be necessary to take measures to prevent the main body from
freezing.
Ask our company for details of such measures.
During prolonged stoppage, periodically observe and record the readings of the
compound gauge attached to the high temperature generator, in order to check the
main bodys airtightness.
Should the readings indicate that the inside pressure is increasing, contact our
company.
If the chilled water is not chilled properly when operation is restarted after a
prolonged stoppage, use an auxiliary vacuum pump to draw out any remaining
uncondensible gas.
This vacuum extraction operation is covered by the Maintenance Contract.
Have our company perform it if you have a Maintenance Contract with us.
Periodic inspection
Periodic inspection of the absorption chiller is an effective form of preventive
maintenance, and will facilitate early detection of faults (should they occur) and
determination of fault causes. A list of items for periodic inspection is given in Table
5.2.
In order to maintain the efficiency of the absorption chiller at a high level and ensure
that it fully exploits its potential, you are recommended to establish methods for
inspection and management in advance, and conduct them according to such
methods.
Supplementary Table 1 on P 5-13 presents a sample daily inspection check sheet.

depending on degree of contamination.
Perform air purging at least twice a day, using the auto air purge unit (the
automatic purging unit is an option).
Perform filtering of the solution (the solution filter is an option).
PM15U
Purge unit
The hydrogen gas generated in the absorption chiller is discharged from the purge
tank outside the machine with the purge pump.
Purge pump is driven in the automatic operation in setting it concerning the
automatic purge device at set intervals of time, and no condensation gas in the
purge tank is exhausted outside the machine
Please exchange the oil of the purge pump regularly while confirming the dirt
condition.
As a rule, the manual purge operation during the season is unnecessary.
Refrigerant automatic operation reproduction circuit

The solution mist mixes with the refrigerant side when it keeps driving the chiller
continuously for a long time. The purity of the refrigerant might decrease, and the
refrigerating capacity decrease.
Therefore, the refrigerant is by the refrigerant automatic operation
reproduction.
When the circuit use the refrigerant automatic operation reproduction circuit sets
the start time and the time of the refrigerant reproduction with the control board.
The dilution valve is compulsorily opened, and the refrigerant in the evaporator is
transported to the solution while the refrigerant is reproducing. Please note that the
refrigerating capacity will temporarily decrease.
Please set the refrigerant automatic operation reproduction driving time within a
day at time zone with few frozen loads.
Solution filter
An oxide generated due to the deterioration of the solution and in-flight impurities
can be removed by using the solution filter. A part of the exhaled solution is filtered
from the solution pump with the solution filter, and it returns it to the absorber.
Please regularly wash and exchange filters. Washing and the exchange time of the
filter are different according to the driving situation etc. of the absorption chiller.
Please consult the field engineer of charge.
It wishes the order to the service agency of charge because a special technology
is necessary for the clearing work of the filter.

PM15U
Valve operation
The absorption chiller contains a large number of valves, both manually operated
valves and automatic control valves. Operating these valves incorrectly could lead
to equipment damage, air leaks and consequent deterioration of the absorption
chiller interior, or else to other trouble such as leakage of absorbent outside the
machine. Normally, you should avoid touching the valves.
Useful tips
Operate the chilled water and cooling water tubing system valves as necessary to
perform air vent and drainage.
Also operate the fuel system tubing valves as necessary to perform air vent and
drainage.
PM15U
Cautions for use

Do not place flammable substances in the machines vicinity
Do not place easily combustible substances such as gasoline, kerosene and
thinner in the machines surrounding area. Doing so could result in explosion or
fire.
Do not turn off the power
Leave the main circuit breaker (inside the control panel) permanently turned on. If
they are turned off, the control panel will stop functioning.
Leave the protective and control devices alone
Under normal circumstances, do not touch the protective and control devices. If
you have to touch them for some reason, be sure to obtain instructions from our
company beforehand.
Repair, and parts replacement
NEVER remodel or alter the machine, in whole or in part, without first obtaining
Ebaras approval. We are not liable for any remodeling or alteration made to the
machine without Ebaras approval.
For repair and replacement, use only genuine Ebara parts.
Cautions regarding use of transceiver, etc.
The absorption chiller is controlled by a microcomputer. Transceivers, mobile
phones and the like emit radio waves which will adversely affect (in the form of
noise) the control panel (which contains the microcomputer), the thermosensors
and other control equipment if such items are used bear to such control
equipment. Therefore, if such items must be used in the vicinity of the absorption
chiller, determine positions (areas) in which it will be safe to use them (i.e. where
they will not affect control equipment. Therefore, if such items must be used in the
vicinity of the absorption chiller, determine positions (areas) in which it will be safe
to use them (i.e. where they will not affect control equipment), and only use them
in such positions. As a rule of thumb, such items should only be used at a
distance of at least 10m from the machine.

circuit board memories.
C
Chilled water pump
Pump for circulating the chilled water between the absorption chiller and the air
handling unit.
Chloride ions
The level of chloride ions in water is an important index of its corrosiveness. Chloride
ions are always present in natural water, usually in substantial quantity.
Cooling water pump
Pump for circulating the cooling water between the absorption chiller and the cooling
tower.
Cooling tower (fan)
Equipment that cools the cooling water during cooling mode operation. If ambient
temperature is high, the fan unable to cool down the temperature of coolant to the
specific value, resulting in poor performance of the absorption chiller.
Compound gauge
Pressure gauge that indicates the high temperature generators pressure. Able to
indicate a wide range of pressure, including vacuum pressure. The generators
pressure is an index of its operating condition.
Concentration control valve
This solenoid valve is for automatically directing the refrigerant inside the evaporator
to the absorber in order to prevent crystallization of solution when the cooling water
temperature is low.
Condenser
This is the device (in fact, a heat exchanger) that cools and condenses the
refrigerant vapor generated by the low temperature generator.
PM10U
Conductivity
A liquids conductivity is a measure of the ease with which it conducts electricity. The
level of contamination of the cooling water is determined by measuring the waters
conductivity. The higher the conductivity is, the worse the contamination of coolant
is.
Control panel (microcomputer control panel)
Panel for control of the absorption chiller. Also called microcomputer control panel
due to the major role of its microcomputer in effecting control.
Corrosion suppressant
A very small quantity of this (molybdate) is added in the absorbent solution in order
to prevent corrosion of the absorption chiller. The solution must be analyzed
periodically to determine the amount of corrosion suppression in it, and the amount
adjusted if necessary.
Crystallization
What happens when the concentration of the absorbent (lithium bromide solution)
rises to the point where crystals of lithium bromide form in it. If the solutions water
content disappears completely, the lithium bromide will solidify (total crystallization).
This is essentially the same process as when salt separates out from brine when
brine is heated. Crystallization is liable to occur if the absorption cycle is maladjusted
or due to a power failure, etc.
If a large amount of crystallization occurs inside the chiller, it will be necessary to
dissolve the crystals by adding refrigerant or by applying heat to the solution from
outside.
D
Diaphragm valve rubber
The rubber element of the diaphragm valve.
Dilution (operation)
This consists of diluting the strong absorbent solution with refrigerant. It is mainly
carried out while the chiller is stopped. If it is not carried out, the absorbent will
crystallize, which will hinder operation.
PM10U
Dilution valve
Valve located in the tubing that carries the refrigerant (water) to the absorbent
solution. It is open during dilution.
Drain heat exchanger
This is the device (in fact, a heat exchanger) that exchanges heat between high
temperature steam for heating and the solution to enhance thermal efficiency.
For reduction of heat loss, It is also possible to prevent flushing of the drain at the
drain recovery system by lowering the temperature of hot drain.
Drain purge (valve)
The operation of purging water from the chilled water or cooling water tubing. Drain
purge valves are the valves used for such purging.
Drain trap
After steam is supplied to the high temperature generator, this device with internal
float separates the efficiently consumed steam (drain) from the rest and drains only
the former.
E
Earth Leakage detector
This is an equipment that perceives the abnormality when the leak occurs, intercepts
the circuit automatically, and cuts the power supply. It is built into the substrate of
the control board.
Evaporator
This is the device (in fact, a heat exchanger) that vaporizes the refrigerant to
produce chiller water.
F
Feedwater
Water that is supplied to replenish the cooling tower water tank when its level is low.
The water is usually supplied through the ball tap (automatic supply valve) at the
cooling tower water tank.
PM10U
This is indispensable because shutting off this valve may cause fault such as .
corrosion of heat transmission tubes due to condensation of cooling water or dry run
of cooling water pump.
Flow switches
Protective devices that sense the flow of the chilled water and cooling water.
H
Heat transmission tubes
Tubes that pass through the absorption chillers interior and through which heat is
transmitted.
Heavy load
This refers to more than 2000 hours of operation per year. It also refers to prolonged
continuous operation at 100% capacity. If machine is operated under this condition,
it could result in result in reduced durability and performance. Heavy load operation
necessitates addition of options such as automatic purging unit and solution filter,
and very thorough maintenance, carried out with increased frequency.
A heat exchanger where the lithium bromide solution is heated by steam and then
used to evaporate (regenerate) the refrigerant.
I
Interlock
Mechanism that prevents operation of certain components unless specific conditions
are met.
An example of such a condition is that the RUN signals for the chilled water pump or
cooling water pump.
Ionized silica
Substance present in water that can cause formation of scale.

generator to heat the absorbent.
M
Magnet switches
Switches for operating equipment with large capacitance.
Main circuit breaker (MCB)
Power switch that has a mechanism for shutting of all power to the absorption chiller
if overcurrent occurs.
O
Overcurrent (overload)
This refers to when the electrical current to the motor is higher than the rated
current, due to a fault, or overload.
P
Performance enhancement agent
Substance (usually a special alcohol) that is added to the absorbent in small
quantities to enhance the efficiency of the absorption chiller.
PM10U

Seismoscope
Device that senses seismic activity and stops the absorption chiller in the event of an
earthquake. One of the optional protective devices.
7-segment LED (digital display)
LED display made up of spaces each consisting of 7 segments plus dots, and able
to display letters and digits.
Sight glass
Glass window in the absorption chiller that allows personnel to monitor the internal
operation condition.
Silica
Common name for silicon dioxide. High concentrations of silica in the cooling water
could lead to formation of hard scale.
Slime
Viscous accretion composed of microorganisms.
Solenoid valve
Valve that is opened and closed by magnets. Also called a magnet valve.
Solution analysis
Analysis of the composition of the absorbent solution, i.e. analysis to determine the
level of corrosion suppressant and alkali, etc. in the solution.
PM10U
Solution filter
This filter is necessary for removing oxides that are formed due to deterioration of
solution or foreign particles inside equipment. Filter element needs to be replaced
periodically.
Solution heat exchanger
Heat exchanger that exchanges heat between high and low temperature solution,
this enhancing the absorption chillers efficiency.
Solution pump
Pump that sends the solution from the absorber to the generator.
Spray pump
This pump is hermetic canned type pump that sprays the solution to absorbers heat
transfer tubes.
Startup congestion
Failure of the absorption chiller to start up, due to activation of protective device, etc.
If this condition is not cleared (the absorption chiller fails to start up) within a certain
period of time, an alarm is issued.
Steam control valve
An electric valve for adjusting the amount of steam to be supplied in response to the
requirements of the load.
Steam cutoff valve
An electric valve that opens completely with all closes according to driving and the
stop.
Strainers
These are fitted to the steam, solution and water tubing, from which they filter out dirt
and other foreign matter.
Sulfide ions
Sulfide compound ions dissolved in the water, liable to cause corrosion damage if
present in high concentrations.
Sulfuric acid ions
Ions of sulfur trioxide dissolved in the water. If sulfur is present in the fuel, it will be
turned into sulfur oxide by combustion, and sulfuric acid ions occur in the cooling
PM10U
water when exhaust gas containing sulfur oxide is dissolved in it. If these ions are
allowed to remain, they will damage the absorption chiller.
Sulfur oxides
General terms for compounds of sulfur and oxygen, often written as SOx. SOx are
generated by the sulfur present in the fuel. They are harmful substances and cause
atmospheric pollution.
T
Temperature regulation startup/stop
These terms refer to startup or stop of steam supply in response to the requirements
of the load.
Thermal relay
One of the protective devices. Its contacts open when overcurrent occurs. It is fitted
to the motor solenoid switch inside the control panel. Also called a temperature
relay.
Thermosensors
There are various types of thermosensors, including thermocouples and resistance
thermometers. The absorption chiller employs thermistors, platinum resistance
temperature sensors, and other varieties of resistance thermometers as its
thermosensors.
Thermostat
A type of switch that turns on/off when a certain temperature is reached.
Total hardness
Index representing the total quantity of calcium ions and magnesium ions (which
cause hardness) in water.
U
Uncondensed gas
Gases (other than refrigerant vapor) that accumulate inside the absorption chillers
PM10U
shell, e.g. hydrogen and air. If these gases are allowed to build up, they will cause a
marked fall in the absorption chillers refrigerating capacity, and impede its
operation.
Unloaded operation
This refers to running of the absorption chiller without any air handling unit or other
load. The absorption chiller should NEVER be run without any load, or its evaporator
tubes will freeze. Also make sure that the air handling unit is never turned off during
dilution operation.
V
Vacuum extraction
The operation of extracting uncondensed gas that has built up inside the absorption
chiller, by means of a vacuum pump.
W
Water chamber gaskets
The gaskets between the chilled water and cooling water chambers and their covers.
PM10U
