INTRODUCTION
Prior to initial start-up of the 30SKB unit, those involved in the
start up, operation, and maintenance should be thoroughly
familiar with these instructions and other necessary job data. This
manual provides an overview for the familiarization with the
control system before performing start-up procedures.
Procedures in this manual are arranged in the sequence required
for proper machine start-up and operation.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
30SKA liquid chillers are designed to provide safe and reliable
service when operated within design specifications. When
operating this equipment, use good judgment and safety
precautions to avoid damage to equipment and property or injury
to personnel.
Follow the procedures and safety precautions contained in the
machine instructions as well as those listed in this guide.
DANGER
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building. Outlet
from relief valve must be vented outdoors. The accumulation of
refrigerant in an enclosed space can displace oxygen and cause
asphyxiation.
PROVIDE adequate ventilation, especially for enclosed and low
overhead spaces. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is
harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or
death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor is heavier than air and reduces
the amount of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye
and skin irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.
DO NOT USE OXYGEN to purge lines or to pressurize a
machine for any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil,
grease, and other common substances.
NEVER EXCEED specified test pressures, VERIFY the allowable
test pressure by checking the instruction literature and the design
pressures on the equipment nameplate.
DO NOT USE air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or dry
nitrogen.
DO NOT VALVE OFF any safety device.
BE SURE that all pressure relief devices are properly installed
before operating any machine.
WARNING
DO NOT WELD OR FLAMECUT any refrigerant line or vessel
until all refrigerant (liquid and vapor) has been removed from
chiller. Traces of vapor should be displaced with dry air nitrogen
and the work area should be well ventilated. Refrigerant in
contact with an open flame produces toxic gases.
DO NOT work on high-voltage equipment. Only qualified
electricians can do so.
DO NOT WORK ON electrical components, including control
-1-
panels, switches, relays etc., unless ALL POWER IS OFF and
there is no residual voltage in capacitors or solid state
components.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG electrical circuits during servicing. USE
SAFETY GOGGLES. Wash off any spills from the skin with soap
and water. If liquid refrigerant enters eyes, IMMEDIATELY
FLUSH EYES with water and consult a physician.
NEVER APPLY an open flame or live steam to refrigerant
cylinder. Dangerous over pressure can result. If it is necessary to
heat refrigerant, use only warm water.
CHECK THE REFRIGERANT TYPE before adding refrigerant to
the unit. The introduction of the wrong refrigerant can cause
damage or malfunction to this machine.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE fittings, components, etc.,
while machine is under pressure or while machine is running.
Be sure pressure is at 0 kPa before breaking refrigerant
connection.
CAREFULLY INSPECT all relief devices, AT LEAST ONCE A
YEAR. If machine operates in a corrosive atmosphere, inspect
the devices at more frequent intervals.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR RECONDITION any relief
device when corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt,
scale, etc.) is found within the valve body or mechanism. Replace
the device.
DO NOT install relief devices in series or backwards.
CAUTION
DO NOT STEP on refrigerant lines. Broken lines can whip about
and release refrigerant, causing personal injury.
DO NOT climb over the unit. Use platform, or staging.
USE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT (crane, hoist, etc.) to lift or
move heavy components. Even if components are light, use
mechanical equipment when there is a risk of slipping or losing
your balance.
BE AWARE that certain automatic start arrangements CAN
ENGAGE TOWER FAN, OR PUMPS. Open the disconnect
ahead of the tower fans, or pumps.
USE only repair or replacement parts that meet the code
requirements of the original equipment.
DO NOT VENT OR DRAIN water boxes containing industrial
brines without the permission of your process control group.
DO NOT LOOSEN water box bolts until the water box has been
completely drained.
DO NOT LOOSEN a packing gland nut before checking that the
nut has a positive thread engagement.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT all valves, fittings, and piping for
corrosion, rust, leaks, or damage.
PROVIDE A DRAIN connection in the vent line near each
pressure relief device to prevent a build-up of condensate water.

WATER PIPING 8) Use flexible connections to reduce vibration

The cooler and condenser are of the multi-tube shell
and tube type with removable water boxes to
facilitate cleaning of the tubes.
Determine water piping size in the piping system
design. To install water piping systems, pay
attention to the following.
1) Never use a water inlet for a water outlet or vice
versa.
2) Install thermometers on the water piping inlet and
outlet.
3) Install manual or automatic air vent valve at high
location in the water piping.
4) Connect circulation pump at the inlet (return
water line).
5) Be sure to install strainer in the piping to the inlet
to prevent foreign matter from entering cooler.
6) Install expansion tank at a higher location than
the unit level.
7) Connect air vent and drain lines with valve for the
cooler.(The size for these connections are
1/4F.P.T.)
transmission.
9) Cover all piping with proper thickness of
insulation. Where the ambient temperature falls
down to freezing point, wrap field piping with pipe
heater cables.
Condenser Water Piping - Run water supply lines as
short as possible. Size lines according to head
pressure available(not necessarily connection size),
especially on cooling tower applications. For once
thru system using natural water or city water, a
water regulating valve is required for each circuit.
Water bypass valves must be installed on cooling
tower applications where low outdoor ambient affect
head pressure. Water regulating valve is also useful
to maintain proper head pressure.
Use flexible connections to reduce vibration
transmission.
Provide means for draining the system in winter and
for servicing the unit.

 START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
Initial Check
Do not attempt to start the chiller until the following
checks have been completed.
1) Check that all components of water system and
electric wiring system are properly installed.
Auxiliary contacts for water pump starter must
be properly interlocked in the control circuit.
2) Open the discharge and liquid valves in each
circuit.
3) Open the oil shut off valves located by the oil
pre-filter.
4) Check clean water is in water piping system
and air vent is provided.
5) Check tightness of all electrical connections.
6) Check the incoming power supply for proper
phasing. This can be done by turning on both
the line voltage and control voltage power
supplies. If incoming power is not phased
correctly, shut down power supplies and switch
any two incoming power leads at the control
box terminal block.
ATTENTION
DO NOT make any changes to the factory installed
compressor power wiring in the control box or at the
compressor junction box. Doing so will cause
permanent damage to the compressor and will
require compressor replacement.

MAINTENANCE
Refrigerant Charging - Adding Charge
IMPORTANT
30SKB is designed for use with R134a only. DO
NOT USE ANY OTHER refrigerant in these units.
CAUTION
When adding or removing charge, circulate water
through the condenser and cooler at all times to
prevent freezing. Freezing damage is considered
abuse and may void Carrier warranty.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERCHARGE system. Overcharging
results in higher discharge pressure with higher
cooling fluid consumption, possible compressor
damage and higher power consumption.
Indication of low charge on a 30SKB system
NOTE
To check for low refrigerant charge on a 30SKB,
several factors must be considered. A flushing
liquid-line sightglass is not necessarily an indication
of inadequate charge. There are many system
conditions where a flashing sightglass occurs under
normal operation. The 30SKB metering device is
designed to work properly under these conditions.
1. Make sure that the circuit is running at a full-
load condition. To check whether circuit No.1 is
fully loaded. If the circuit capacity step is 100%,
the circuit is full-load.
2. With the circuit running at full-load, verify that
the cooler leaving fluid temperature is in the
range of 5.0-7.0 ℃.
3. At this condition, observe the refrigerant in the
liquid line sightglass. If there is a clear
sightglass, and no signs of flashing, then the
circuit is adequately charged. Skip the
remaining steps.
- 16 -
4. If the refrigerant appears to be flashing, the
circuit is probably low on charge. Verify this by
checking the EXV Percent Open(See table 11).
5. If the EXV Percent Open is greater than 60%,
and the liquid line sightglass is flashing, then
the circuit is low on charge. Follow the
procedure for adding charge.
To add charge to the 30SKB systems
1. Make sure that the unit is running at full-load,
and that the cooler leaving fluid temperature is
in the range of 5.0-7.0℃.
2. At these operating conditions, check the liquid-
line sightglass. If there is a clear sightglass,
then the unit has sufficient charge. If the
sightglass is flashing, then check the EXV
Percent Open. If this is greater than 60%, then
begin adding charge.
NOTE
A flashing liquid-line sightglass at operating
conditions other than those mentioned above is
not necessarily an indication of low refrigerant
charge.
3. Add 2.5 kg of liquid charge into the cooler using
the charging port on the liquid line.
4. Observe the EXV Percent Open value. The
EXV should begin closing as charge is being
added. Allow the unit to stabilize. If the EXV
Percent Open remains above 60%, and the
sightglass continues flashing, add an additional
2.5 kg of liquid charge.
5. Allow the unit to stabilize, and again check the
EXV Percent Open. Continue adding 2.5 kg of
liquid refrigerant charge at a time, and allow the
unit to stabilize before checking the EXV
position.
6. When the EXV Percent Open is in the range of
40-60%, check the liquid line sightglass. Slowly
add enough additional liquid charge to ensure
a clear sightglass. This should be done slowly
to avoid overcharging the unit.
7. Verify adequate charge by continuing to run at
full-load with 5.0-7.0 ℃ cooler laving fluid
temperature. Check that the refrigerant is not
flashing in the liquid-line sightglass. The EXV
Percent Open should be between 40 and 60%.
Proper amount Shortage
Fig.8 - Moisture Indicator
Oil Charging
CAUTION
DO NOT add oil at any other location as
improper unit operation may result.
1. Make sure that the unit is not running when
adding oil, as this will make the oil charging
process easier. Because the system is under
pressure even when the unit is not running, it
will be necessary to use a suitable pump (hand
or electric pump) to add oil to the system.
2. Using a suitable pump, add 2 litters of
Polyolester oil to the system (CARRIER
SPEC：PP47-32). Make sure that the oil level
safety switch is NOT jumpered, and allow the
unit to restart and run normally after charging
oil.
3. If low oil level problems persist, add another 2
litters of oil. Continue adding oil in 2 litters
increments until the problem is resolved. If it is
necessary to add more than 6 litters of oil to the
system, then contact your local Carrier.

Maintenance of Water Piping
Major points of maintenance of water piping are to
provide water treatment for preventing scale or
corrosion and to protect piping and devices from
damage caused by freezing during cold weather.
1) Confirm that cooler and condenser are
provided with proper quantity of water.
Occasionally check on strainer in water piping.
Vent air occasionally.
2) When shutting down unit for long period, to
maintain cooler and condenser, refer to
Shutdown instructions.
Electronic Expansion Valve(EXV)
High-pressure liquid refrigerant enters valve through
bottom. A series of calibrated slots have been
maintained inside of orifice assembly. As refrigerant
passes through orifice, pressure drops and
refrigerant changes to a 2-phase condition (liquid
and vapor). To control refrigerant flow for different
operating conditions, sleeves moves up and down
over orifice and modulates orifice size. Sleeve is
moved by a linear stepper motor. Stepper motor
moves in increments and is controlled directly by
EEV board. As stepper motor rotates, motion is
transferred into linear movement by lead screw.
Through stepper motor and lead screw, 1500
discrete steps of motion are obtained. The large
number of steps and long stroke results in very
accurate control of refrigerant flow.
Integral oil filter change
An integral oil filter in the 06N screw compressor is
specified to provide a high level of filtration(3μ)
required for long bearing life. As system cleanliness
is critical to reliable system operation, there is also a
pre-filter (12μ) in the oil line just before entering the
integral compressor filter.
Filter Change-Out Schedule
The filter should be checked after the first 1000
hours of operation, and every subsequent 4000
hours. The filter should be replaced at any time
when the PIO BOARD LED shows “Alt”（filter alert）.
 For replacement items use Carrier Specified Parts
Manufacturing reserves the right to discontinue, or charge at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations
