 Operating Procedures
Preparation
Discharging air from the piping
Air may be present in the piping before the initial start-up of this product, if it has been out of
use for an extended period, or after replacing water in the water tank even if the tank is full.
If this problem occurs, conduct a test run on the pressure pump before start-up according to
the steps below:
1. Confirm that the water level in the water tank is in the range from "E" to "F" on the level gauge.
(See "Checking the Water Level" on page 11)
2. Turn on the main power.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch while holding down the upper arrow Temperature Switch ( ) to operate
the pressure pump alone. (See "Pump-Only Operation" on page 14)
4. As water in the tank circulates through the system while discharging air, the water pressure gauge
reading increases and the pressure stabilizes.
In order to do an air-purge, first remove the water supply port cover.
Adjusting the water feeding pressure
If water pressure control is required, it can be achieved by purchasing and installing the optional bypass
valve piping as show below.
Adjusting method

The water pressure gauge reading will rise and the water feeding
pressure (flow rate) will also rise.
To lower the water feeding Open the bypass valve.
pressure (flow rate)
The water pressure gauge reading will drop and the water
feeding pressure (flow rate) will also drop.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to keep within the allowable pressure range of the pressure pump. When the pressure
exceeds the upper bound, it may result in freezing or damage to the chiller, or bursting off of
hoses from the pump. When the pressure is less than the lower bound, damage to the
mechanical seal of the pump may result. Also, all-closed operation of the water circuit
(inlet/outlet port of cooling water and bypass valve) of the pressure pump is prohibited.
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.
When supplying water, ensure that the water does not overflow onto the floor. As
water-overflow prevention measure, we recommend that you install piping for overflow or
drain.
For piping works such as those for drains, contact service specialists.

 Parameters
Parameter Types and Functions
F10 : With/Without Freeze-Preventive Operation (Related parameter : F11)
This function, the freeze-preventive operation mode, prevents the tank water temperature from dropping
and water from freezing in the piping during winter by automatically operating the pressure pump.
F10 Setting Function
0 Disables freeze-preventive operation.
1 Enables freeze-preventive operation.
Default : 0
With this parameter set to "1" (With Freeze-Preventive Operation), the pressure pump operates as
shown in the table below, depending on the water temperature measurement. While the pressure
pump is operating, the COOLER lamp blinks.

from the pressure pump.
The following two procedures can be used to stop the discharge pump during freeze-preventive operation.
Change the set value to [0] (without the freeze-preventive operation).
Press the [cooler operation switch] while pressing the [reset switch]. (Temporarily stop of the
freeze-preventive mode)
To resume from the temporary stop, press the [cooler operation switch] while pressing the [reset
switch] again. During the temporary stop, “OFF” and the [liquid temperature] display
alternatively on the digital display, and normal control operations are not accepted.
3 When this parameter is set to "1" (With Freeze-Preventive Operation), the decimal point in the
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.

27
 Parameters
Parameter Types and Functions
F11 : With/Without Warm-up Operation (Related parameters : F10 and F12) custom order basis
The Warm-up Operation function automatically operates the pressure pump in order to prevent water
temperature drop during operation when the ambient temperature is low as in winter and to maintain
the tank water temperature specified with F12. This function helps reduce waiting time until water the
temperature becomes high enough at start-up.
F11 Setting Function
0 Without Warm-up Operation
1 With Warm-up Operation
Default : 0
The following two procedures can be used to stop the discharge pump when in the warming-up mode.
Change the set value to [0] (disable the warming-up operation).
Press the [cooler operation switch] while pressing the [reset switch]. (temporarily cancel the
freeze-preventive mode)
To resume from the temporary stop, press the [cooler operation switch] while pressing the [reset
switch] again. During the temporary stop, “OFF” and the [liquid temperature] display
alternatively on the digital display, and normal control operations are not accepted.
When this parameter is set to "1" (With Warm-up Operation), the decimal point in the digital display
blinks 4 times per second, indicating that the Warm-up Operation is specified.
If F10 is set to "1" (With Freeze-Preventive Operation), F11 cannot be manipulated.

IMPORTANT
When the setting for 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
2. When you have set this parameter to "With Warm-up 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.

F12 : Warm-up Temperature Setting (Related parameter : F11) custom order basis
Setting F11 to "1" automatically restarts the pressure pump while the product is shut down in order to maintain
the water temperature specified with this parameter. F12's setting range : 10.0 - 35.0 (Min. setting unit :
0.1 )
Default : 20.0
1 The pressure pump starts operating at a temperature 2.0 lower than the F12 temperature
setting, and stops at a temperature 2.0 higher than the same.

1 The alarm display on the control plate is “ ” . This product continues operation even when
an alarm is displayed. For details, see " Alarm list" on page 47.
2 If a stand-by sequence is set, this parameter outputs an alarm when the liquid temperature attains
an abnormal value after a normal value is established after start-up.
3 No alarm detection is performed while this product is shut down.
<Effect of a stand-by sequence>
1. When set to "1":
No alarm is output even when the start-up temperature exceeds the range set with F21.
An alarm is output when the temperature exceeds the range set with F21 after attaining a value
within that range after start-up.
2. When set to "3":
No alarm is output even when the start-up temperature exceeds the range set with F22 or F23.
An alarm is output when the temperature exceeds the range set with F22 or F23 after attaining a
value within ±1.0 of the water temperature setting after start-up.
When operating with a stand-by sequence, press the RESET switch on the control plate to reset
the output alarm. In this case, the product enters the state described above, outputting an
alarm when the product enters the state
F21: Upper/Lower Liquid Temperature Limit Alarm - Relative Value (Related parameter : F20)
This parameter setting takes effect when F20 is set to "1" or "2".
This function outputs an alarm based on a relative value against the liquid temperature setting. F21
setting range : 1.0 - 5.0 (Min. setting unit : 0.1 )
Default : 5.0
1 For example, if set to "3.0 ", an alarm is output when the water temperature exceeds ±3.0 of
the setting value.
F22 : Upper/Lower Liquid Temperature Limit Alarm - Maximum Absolute Value (Related parameters : F20 and F23)
This parameter setting takes effect when F20 is set to "3" or "4". Regardless of the water temperature
setting, this parameter outputs an alarm when the liquid temperature exceeds the temperature setting
for this parameter. F22 setting range : The F23 setting plus 2.0 - 40.0 (Min. setting unit : 0.1
Default : 35.0

 Inspection and Maintenance
Monthly Inspection and Maintenance Every 6 Months

Monthly Inspection and Maintenance

1. Clean the outside of the product. Use neutral detergent.

2. Check the water circuit.
(1) Check water in the water circuit monthly in order to keep it clean and replace the water if any of the
following problems are detected :
The internal wall of the water tank is sludgy when checked with fingers.
Any foreign matter is in the water tank.
Water color is abnormal.
(2) If antifreeze or other additives are used, then, 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.

IMPORTANT
●Refer to "Maintenance of Water Condition" on page 45 for information regarding water purity.
●If water becomes unusually dirty and required frequent replacement, it may be necessary to
perform chemical cleaning of the water circuit. Contact your dealer for assistance.
●Be sure to open the (user installed) chilled water inlet and outlet valves before operating the
product. Operating with the valves closed can damage the product.
●Install the included Y-strainer on the cooling water inlet. Foreign substances entering the piping
could cause clogging of the evaporator and product breakdown.

1. Pressure Pump Leakage Checking

Leakage Checking
Check for water leakage from the pressure pump's main body.
If you find a leak, contact your dealer.
In this case, the exchange of mechanical seals is needed. These are available as standard

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.

if its concentration is high, leading to gas leakage.
Mechanical Seal
Basically, the mechanical seals do not generally leak. However, it is impossible to completely prevent leakage, and a very small
amount of leakage is witching the design specifications of the product. (If no leakage is allowed by design, the mechanical seals will
become damaged from heat in the short term.) The quantity of allowed leakage is a rate of less than [3 L/h] according to JIS
standards, but a typical rate of leakage is 0.05 to 0.15 L/h in the mechanical seal of a general-purpose pump. This amount of leakage
will evaporate readily in case of fresh water, and cannot be noticed just by viewing. However, over time the amount of leakage can add
up and that amount of water must be replaced as necessary. In addition, the standard period of replacement of the mechanical seals is
after 6000 to 8000 hours of operation or one year, when the quality of the water meets Orion's specified water standard.

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.
If antifreeze or other additives are used, measures must be taken to prevent drainage from the
drain pan drain or overflow port, etc. from flowing into normal water drains or onto the ground,
etc.

Pipe Connection Procedure (Cooling-water piping)

1. Confirm the positions of the Cooling Water inlet and outlet.

2. Follow the instructions below for piping work.

(1) Mount the Cooling Water inlet valve
and the Cooling Water outlet valve .
(2) Be sure to mount the safety relief valve .
The regulating valve that is installed in the Cooling
Water circuit performs the opening and closing of
the valve automatically by detecting the refrigerant pressure.
Thus, there is a possibility that the regulating valve
becomes full-closed during operation.
Be sure to install the safety relief valve for the water
leakage prevention in the Cooling Water circuit,
and set the Cooling Water inlet pressure 0.69MPa
or lower.
(3) Install the purge/drain valve .
(4) Be sure to install the union coupling .
Make sure that it can easily disassemble the product
and Cooling Water piping when carrying out
the cleaning of water-cooled condenser in inside
the product.
IMPORTANT
Misplacement of the Cooling-Water inlet or outlet on the piping will cause this product's
performance to fail.
When tightening the end connection, use a pipe wrench or monkey wrench.
Depending on the using water quality, it is recommended to install a "Y-strainer" before the
Cooling Water inlet port. Consult with a specialist for details.

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.

 Product Warranty
This product shall be warranted as follows. For warranty repairs, please contact the dealer where the product was sold after confirming the product
model and serial number.
1. Warranty Period
(1) Refrigerant circuits Two years from the date of purchase, or 10,000 operating hours, whichever comes first.
(2) Others One year from the date of purchase.
What Is Covered by this Warranty
(1) If breakdown occurs within the above warranty period and the cause of the breakdown lies with ORION, then the damaged part(s) will be
replaced or repaired by ORION free of charge. Note that depending on the country/region where the product is being used, repairs may take
more time or be impossible. Please consult with your dealer in advance regarding service and repair options for products to be operated
outside of Japan.
(2) In principal, the owner of the product will confirm diagnosis of the breakdown according to the operating manual. However, there might be cases
where this work may be carried out instead by a member of ORION's service network. In such cases, there will be no charge where the cause
of the breakdown lies with ORION.
(3) Note that even during the warranty period, there will be costs incurred by the user (outside the warranty) in the following cases:
Breakdown resulting from operating under unsuitable operating conditions, environment, handling, use, or method of operation outside those
written in the specifications or operating manual of the product, or as a result of carelessness or negligence on the part of the user.
Breakdown resulting from non-ORION equipment (user's own equipment or software design, etc.).
Breakdown resulting from repairs or modifications conducted by non-ORION designated contractors.
Breakdown which could be recognized as being avoidable in cases where an ORION product is used in conjunction with the user's equipment
where the user's equipment is legally regulated to have a safety device whereby inclusion of the safety device could have averted the
breakdown, or in cases where the addition of function, structure, etc., could have, according to common knowledge of the industry, averted
the breakdown.
Any breakdown which is recognized as being avoidable had normal fixed term inspections, and/or normal maintenance and replacement of
consumables, been performed as indicated in the operating manual, etc.
Replacement of consumables (parts to be replaced at fixed terms or based on inspection).
Breakdown due to external factors beyond human control such as fire etc., or breakdown resulting from natural disaster such as earthquake,
lightning, storm and flood damage, etc.
Breakdown due to reasons unforeseeable due to the technological standard at the time the product was shipped from ORION.
Any breakdown resulting from corrosion caused by operating the product in an atmosphere that contains corrosive gases, organic solvents,
chemical solutions, etc., or in an environment where such substances could come into contact with the product.
(4) In cases where a separate contract, etc. has been established, that contract will take priority.
3. Warranty Obligation Exclusions
Regardless of the warranty period, compensation for any of the following will not fall under the obligations of this warranty: any hindrance or
accident compensation resulting from reasons not under ORION's obligations; any lost opportunities, lost profit, secondary losses, damages to
non-ORION equipment incurred by users resulting from the breakdown of ORION products; and any replacement work, readjustment of on-site
machinery and equipment, and operating work by users.
4.Product Use Limitations
(1) When using ORION products in connection with important facilities, be sure to establish backup and/or failsafe measures so that even in the
event of breakdown of such products, such breakdown will not lead to serious accidents or losses.
(2) ORION products are designed and produced as general purpose equipment to be used in general industrial applications. Therefore, this
warranty will not apply when used in the following applications: However, in cases where the customer/user takes full responsibility and
confirms the performance of the product in advance, and takes necessary safety precautions, please consult with ORION and we will consider if
use of the product in the desired application is appropriate.
Atomic energy, aviation, aerospace, railway works, shipping, vehicles (cars and trucks), medical applications, transportation applications,
and/or any applications where it might have a great effect on human life or property.
