Air-Cooled Chiller
Introduction
The Modular AMAC air-cooled scroll chillers countinues Arvand's legacy of
high quality, high efficiency, latest technology and quiet operation. Our
model AMAC units utilize an advanced compressor design utilizing R-22
refrigerant. These model offer modules of 6, 16 and 20 tons, which can be
combined (6 tons. with 6 tons. units, 16 tons. with 16 tons. units, 20 tons.
with 20 tons. units, No 6 tons. with 16 or 20 tons. units ) to get the desired
capacity; gives an incredible flexibility when looking for the perfect
combination to match your present and future needs. Perhaps most
importantly, they continue Arvand's reputation for quiet operation, making
AMAC chillers "building friendly".
Arvand provides one of the best overall values in air-cooled chillers
available today!

General Specification
Compressor
AMAC are Equipped with highly efficient Copeland's compliant Scroll
compressors. These rugged hermetic compressors are constructed with an
internal cast iron frame, cast iron scrolls, three Teflon impregnated bearings,
and three oil filtration devices for each compressor. Using Copeland's
Compliant Scroll compressor provides two or twelve steps of capacity
modulation depending on system load and number of modules. Each
refrigerant circuit has specially designed oil and gas equalization lines to
control oil migration. The design also offers radial and axial compliance, a
large internal volume for liquid handling, a removable suction screen, and a
rotary dirt trap and oil screen. In addition, the compressor is selfcompensating for wear, handles moderate liquid slugging, and inherently
yields the high efficiency. This well protected compressor includes a solidstate motor protection module, 4 individual motor winding sensors, a
patented internal discharge temperature probe, and a patented shutdown
feature that prevents reverse rotation. An internal discharge check valve help
prevent shutdown noise and comes standard with high and low pressure taps
with Schrader valves, a sight glass, an oil level adjustment valve, and an off
cycle crankcase heater. Units are available 50 and 60 Hertz with voltage
configuration from 208 to 460 volts, operating at 3550 RPM.
Air-cooled Condenser
The two air cooled condenser coils with V-shaped consist of staggered rows
of 1/2 " OD seamless copper tube, mechanically expanded onto die formed
aluminum fins to ensure optimum heat exchange capability.
Condenser Fan Motor
To achieve the high air charge requirement, the unit is equipped with the
high air flow propeller fan which is made of Galvanized steel. The fan is
direct drive by weatherproof motor to ensure reliable continuous operation.
Evaporator
The heat exchanger is made of stainless steel plates closely arranged and
brazed together to ensure high heat exchange efficiency.
Refrigerant Circuit
The refrigerant circuit is factory brazed and evacuated before accurately
charged with R-22 to ensure optimum operating requirement. To ensure
flawless continuous operation, each refrigerant circuit is equipped with a
carefully sized thermostatic expansion or capillary valve. See figures 1 & 2.
Refrigerant Piping
Includes insulated suction line, sealed filter-drier, sight glass, capillary or
expansion valve, charging valve and relief valves.

Sound Insulation
The most effective isolation method is to locate the unit away from sound
sensitive area. Avoid locations beneath windows or between structures
where normal operating sounds may be objectionable. Reduce structurally
transmitted sound by isolating water lines, electrical conduit and the unit
itself. Use wall sleeves and rubber isolated piping hangers to reduce
transmission of water or pump noise into occupied spaces. Use flexible
electrical conduit to isolate sound through electrical conduit. spring isolators
are effective in reducing the low amplitude sound generated by scroll
compressors and for unit isolation in sound sensitive areas.
Chilled Water Piping
Flush the system water piping thoroughly before making connections to the
unit evaporator. A strainer of 40 meshes must be installed in the return water
line before the inlet to the chiller. Design the water piping so that the chilled
water circulating pump discharges into the evaporator inlet. Connect the
return water line to the evaporator inlet connection (top connection).
Connect the supply water line to the evaporator outlet connection (bottom
connection).
Provide drain connections at low points in the system to permit complete
drainage of the system. Locate air vents at the high points in the system to
purge air out of the system. Purge air from the water system before unit startup to provide adequate flow through the evaporator. Install pressure gauges
in the inlet and outlet water lines to the evaporator. A single gauge shall be
installed in a bypass line; measure pressure drop through the evaporator to
calculate proper flow.
Vibration eliminators are recommended in both the supply and return water
lines.
Insulate chilled water piping to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation.
Thoroughly drain water from chillers not running in the winter to protect
against freezing. If the chiller operates year round, or if the system is not
drained for the winter, the chilled water piping exposed to outdoor
temperature should be protected against freezing. Wrap the lines with a
heater cable and add proper amount of glycol to the system to further protect
the system during low ambient periods.
*An accumulator tank shall be used if the System Water Volume is not enough
minutes). Since there are many other factors that can influence performance,
systems may successfully operate below these suggestions.
However, as the water volume decreases below these suggestions, the
possibility of problems increases.
Its strongly recommended to install a water accumulator tank in the water
piping system to compensate what is stated above.
