1-6 In the Event of Shipping Damages Important! According to the contract terms and conditions of the Carrier, the responsibility of the Shipper ends at the time and place of shipment. The Carrier then assumes full responsibility of the shipment. Notify the transportation company’s local agent. Hold the damaged goods and packing material for the examining agent’s inspection. Do not return any goods to Sterlco before the transportation company inspection and authorization. File a claim against

2 Chiller Installation 2-1 Electrical Connections Check serial tag voltage and amperage requirements and make sure your electrical service conforms. See Figure 4 on Page 12 for total running amps. Bring properly sized power leads and ground from a fused disconnect (installed by your electrician) to the main power terminal in the chiller’s electrical enclosure. Electrical connections must comply with all applicable electrical codes. The chiller must be grounded in accordance with NEC Article 25

Process Water Bypass All SMC chillers have an internal bypass device (patent pending). If the process flow becomes blocked during chiller operation, this component allows water to flow through the chiller. This protects the chiller from freeze-up, excessive pressures, and pump damage, and allows other safety features to remain effective. 2-3 SMC Condenser Air Supply SMC chillers use the surrounding air to cool the condenser. Condenser air entering the SMC unit should be at least 65°F (18°C). Op

A corrosion inhibitor suitable for the materials in the system should be added to the glycol/water solution. If straight water use is desired, contact the Sterlco Engineering Department. The six gallon (23 liter) reservoir is not designed to withstand water pressure above 5 psi (34 kPa). The fill opening and vent line must be vented to the atmosphere for proper operation.

2-5 Overhead Process Considerations If your application has chilled water or process piping above the reservoir fill and vent level, install a standpipe to a point 1’ (30 cm) above the highest point in the system. In applications where the process or its piping is 15 feet (4.6 m) or more above the reservoir, you must take steps to prevent over-pressurization of the reservoir. This condition can occur on system shutdown when the water in the system drains into the reservoir. To prevent this, inst

3 Sequence of Operation Important! • The SMC unit has a leaving water temperature range of 30°F (-1°C) to 65°F (18°C). Do not attempt to run the SMC unit outside this temperature range or damage to the unit may occur. • When operating the SMC unit between 30°F (-1°C) and 40°F (5°C), you must use a solution of 75% water and 25% industrial-grade ethylene glycol with a suitable corrosion inhibitor to protect the SMC unit from freeze-up. See Figure 5 on Page 17 for more information. Such damage is

3-3 High Pressure Cutout The high pressure cutout is an electro-mechanical safety feature that opens the control circuit if the system condensing pressure exceeds a safe level. The chiller will automatically restart when the pressure drops back to an acceptable level. Model Cuts out if condensing pressure exceeds: SMC050A 275 psi (1,897 kPa) SMC100A 275 psi (1,897 kPa) SMC150A 400 psi (2,759 kPa) Important! Call a refrigeration service technician to analyze the problem if high pressure recurs. 3
