digital display blinks once in a second, indicating that the freeze-preventive operation is specified.
If F11 is set to "1" (With Warm-up Operation), F10 cannot be manipulated.
IMPORTANT
1. Since the liquid temperature sensor resides inside this product, the external piping may
require modification such as such as adding adequate thermal insulation to protect it from
freezing.
2. When the freeze-preventive operation is enabled, be sure to check that the water level of the
water tank is between [F] and [E]. If the water level is low, it may result in the malfunction of
the discharge pump.
3. When you have set this parameter to "With Freeze-Preventive Operation", ensure that the
piping is not totally closed. It would not only affect the freeze-preventive performance but also
cause the water pressure to increase excessively when the pressure pump is operating,
which in turn may lead to failure including water leakage.
4. Use the Warm-up Operation (F11) to prevent freeze-up when the ambient temperature drops to
-5 or lower during operation. Note, however, that this operating mode cannot prevent
freezing when the ambient temperature drops to -20 or lower.
5. Be sure to operate the product within the operating temperature range of 5 to +40 . Operating
the product at 5 or lower may cause failures on the compressor and other devices.

Water Quality Control
CAUTION
1. The working fluid (cold water) should be clean water (compliant with the water quality
standards shown below) or 30 to 40% concentrated solution of industrial-use glycol. Note that
there will be a drop in cooling capacity of 10% if using a 30 to 40% concentrated solution of
ethylene glycol.
2. If any abnormality is found during a periodic inspection, clean the water tank and the water circuit and
replace the tank water. Additionally, replace the tank water once every 3 months because water
evaporates and impurity concentration becomes higher even if no abnormality is found in the
inspection. For the periodic inspection procedure, see the "Inspection and Maintenance" section.
3. Note that if antifreeze or other additives are used, then the lifespan of mechanical seals will be less
that it would be if using clean water. Furthermore, depending on particular operating conditions,
evaporation or condensation may occur which will cause changes to the level of water and the
concentration of such additives, and management of the concentration of additives and addition of
water to maintain the water level should be carried out periodically.

Piping Installation / Wiring Work
IMPORTANT
Mistakenly reversing the cold-water intake or outlet on the piping will prevent the product from
working properly.
When the piping work is carried out, be sure not to allow dirt or foreign substances into the
water circuit.
We also recommend that you install piping for drainage as a precaution against water spillage.
Be sure to install a valve (customer-supplied) at the cooling water inlet and outlet ports. The
inlet and outlet valves are used for cleaning the strainer mesh.
The drain valve is used to drain the water from inside the piping in case the product is not to be
used for extended periods of time.
If there is a chance that the chilled water circuit could be blocked when the product is
operating, then in order to prevent leaks, a safety (relief) valve should be installed and
bring the pressure to within the discharge pump operating range.
Install a Y-strainer (customer supplied) on the product inlet port. Install a bypass circuit if
required.
Do not block the overflow piping. Blocked piping can result in water leakage within the chiller.

Water for the water-cooled condenser may be ground water, municipal water, or cooling-tower water.
Refer to the following information for guidance in selecting the water type.
Ground Water
Check the water quality before using this water. You can check the water quality for your region
through local industrial laboratories or colleges or through your public health center. If water meets the
conditions given in Table 1, you can use it without processing for either single-pass or recirculated
flow.

● ” ” marks in a tendency column show the factor related to either corrosion or scale generation
tendency.
● Above 15 items indicate the representative factor of corrosion and scale failure.
IMPORTANT
● Use of poor-quality well water may cause incrustation of pipes, resulting in a decline in drying
performance. If using well water, therefore, you should periodically inspect and clean the
piping. If you are in an area near the sea you should avoid use of well water, as almost all well
water in these areas will include sea water.
72
Cooling Water
Water Selection
Municipal Water
Though you do not need a pump if you use city water as Cooling Water, it is not economically
advantageous. In addition, in summer time, the temperature of city water goes up to approximately
30 . Also, in this season, the usage amount of city water increases and consequently you will
confront near breaks in service frequently. For this reason, we recommend you to seriously review
whether to use city water or not. (If you use it, the high pressure switch is tripped frequently.)
IMPORTANT
●If using municipal water, you must install a backup-prevention valve at the connection between
the water supply pipe and the condenser pipe. The valve will prevent water from the condenser
from backing up into the municipal water pipe.
●Incrustation will gradually build up as a result of municipal water use. Periodic inspection is
required.
Cooling Tower
Although well water has typically been in wide usage, recent regulations have placed this water under
the same regulations as ground water. Use of cooling towers can eliminate the waste that occurs when
expensive water (municipal water) is used once only and then immediately discarded. The cooling
tower allows for efficient recirculation. The tower's cooling operation is based on the water's latent
vaporization heat (2500kJ/kg) and the difference between the air's dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperature.
The use of a cooling tower can reduce replenishment water volume to only 1 to 2% of circulating water
volume, resulting in considerable savings.
IMPORTANT
●If atmospheric air is dirty and contaminated by impurities (chlorine components, sulfurous acid),
concentration and precipitation of impurities within the circulating water will gradually build up.
This occurs because these airborne corrosive gases dissolve into the cooling-tower water as it
exchanges heat with the atmosphere. If allowed to build up, these impurities will corrode the
condenser's cooling pipes. Holes may form in the pipes, resulting in serious damage.
●You can prevent the above problem by changing the water before it has a chance to become
dirty. In general, you should replace all of the Cooling Water and rinse out the pipes
approximately once a week.

Selecting the Cooling Tower and Circulating Pump
CAUTION
Installation should be carried out by local dealer in your area or service specialist qualified by Orion
Machinery. Installing this product on your own may result in water leakage, electric shock, or fire.
IMPORTANT
The water regulating valve is installed in the Cooling Water circuit of the product. The valve can
detect the refrigerant pressure and open and close automatically, so the water regulating valve
may be fully-closed while the product is operating.
Install the safety relief valve in the Cooling Water circuit for leakage protection, and make the
Cooling Water inlet pressure 0.69MPa or below.
When you use the cooling tower, be sure to install the safety relief valve since the Cooling
Water circuit is fully-closed by the water regulating valve. In case of the fully-closed circuit, the
water cannot be cooled since the Cooling Water does not return to the cooling tower.
Selecting the Cooling Tower and Circulating Pump
1. The following table shows the cooling capacity required from the cooling tower. Consult local dealer in
your area or service specialist for advice about selecting the tower.
2. Refer to the following table and (motor-output) graph for information about how to determine the pump
requirements. Then consult with the pump dealer or service specialist to determine the best pump for
your needs.
