(3/8") (1/2") (5/8") (5/8")

• When piping length becomes too long, both

the capacity and compressor reliability drop.

• As the number of bends increases, system-

piping resistance to the refrigerant flow

increase thus lowering the capacity of the

unit and as a result the compressor may

become defective.

• Always choose the shortest path and follow

the recommendation as tabulated.

2. Water Piping and Fitting

• Install a 40-60 mesh strainer to ensure water quality is good.

• Water pipe materials recommended are black steel pipe and

copper pipe.

• All piping connections must be properly and firmly connected.

Do not over-tighten the connections.

• Users are recommended to install the pipes as shown in Figure

5 & 6.

• The piping need to be cleaned and flushed prior to operation.

• Air vents must be installed at the highest position while a

drainage system at the lowest position of the water circuit.

3. Refrigerant Piping

• Do not use contaminated, dented or used copper tubing.

• Do not use copper tubes with less than 0.8mm thickness.

• Cut the connection pipe with a pipe cutter.

• Remove burrs from cut edges of the pipes with remover. Hold

the end of the pipe downwards to prevent metal chips from

entering the pipe.

• Use proper torque wrench to tight the flare nuts. If the torque

strength is weak, gas leakage may occur. If it is too tight, the

flare nut may crack and it may be non-removable.

• Insulate the piping to prevent capacity losses and water.

VACUUMING AND CHARGING

1. Purging The Piping And The Indoor Unit

Except for the outdoor unit which is pre-charged with

refrigerant, the indoor unit and the refrigerant connection pipes

must be airpurged because the air containing moisture that

remains in the refrigerant cycle may cause malfunction of the

compressor.

• Remove the caps from the valve and the service port.

• Connect the center of the charging gauge to the vacuum

pump. (Refer to Figure 7)

• Connect the charging gauge to the service port of the

3-way valve.

• Start the vacuum pump. Evacuate for approximately 30

minutes. The evacuation time varies with different vacuum

pump capacity. Confirm that the charging gauge needle has

moved towards -760mmHg.

Caution:

• If the gauge needle does not move to -760mmHg, be sure

to check for gas leaks (using the refrigerant detector) at

flare type connection of the indoor and outdoor unit and

repair the leak before proceeding to the next step.

• Close the valve of the charging gauge and stop the vacuum

pump.

• On the outdoor unit, open the suction valve (3 way) and

liquid valve (2 way) (in anti-clockwise direction) with 4mm

key for hexagon sacked screw.

2. Additional Charge

• The pre-charged of R22 in the Water Cooled Split Type

unit is suitable for standard pipe of length up to 7.6m.

• When the piping is more than the above stated standard

pipe length, kindly add additional charge referring to the

table below.

Model Gram/Meter

WSS10A 30

WSS15A 30

WSS20A 30

WSS25A 30

3. Charge Operation

This operation must be done by using a gas cylinder and a

precise weighing machine. The additional charge is topped-

up into the outdoor unit using the suction valve via the service

port.

• Remove the service port cap.

• Connect the low pressure side of the charging gauge to the

suction service port center of the cylinder tank and close

the high pressure side of the gauge. Purge the air from the

service hose.

• Start the air conditioner unit.

• Open the gas cylinder and low pressure charging valve.

• When the required refrigerant quantity is pumped into the

unit, close the low pressure side and the gas cylinder valve.

• Disconnect the service hose form service port. Put back the

service port cap.

SYSTEM CLEANING AND FLUSHING

The water circulating loop system must be cleaned and flushed to remove all construction debris and dirt before operating the

units.

1. If the connection is equipped with water shut-off valve, either electric or pressure operated, the individual supply and return

pipes must be connected together first. This will prevent the introduction of dirt into the unit.

2. Fill the water loop system with your local water supply with all air vents open. After filling, close all air vents. The contractor

should start the main circulator pump with the pressure reducing valve open. Check all vents in sequence to bleed off any

trapped air, ensuring circulation through all components of the system. Power to the heat rejector unit should be off and the

supplementary heat control set at 27ºC (80ºF).

3. While the water is circulating, the contractor should check and repair any leaks in the piping. Drains at the lowest point(s) in the

system should be opened for initial flush and blow down. Make sure the local supply water valves are set to make up for the

required flow rate. Check the pressure gauge at the pump suction and manually adjust the make up to hold the same positive

steady pressure both before and after opening the drain valves. Flush should be continuously for two hours or longer if required

to obtain a clean and clear drain water.

4. Shut off all supplemental heater and circulator pump and open all drains and vents to complete drain down the system. Now, the

short-circuited water connection to the supply and return pipes should be removed and connected to the individual water inlet

and outlet of the unit.

Use proper tape to seal off at the valve connection. Do not use sealant at the valves connection.

5. Trisodium phosphate was formerly recommended as a cleaning agent during flushing. However, some of the local authorities

ban the usage of the phosphate into the sewage systems. The current recommendation is to simply flush longer with warm at

27ºC (80ºF) water.

6. Refill the water loop system with clean water. Test the water for acidity by using a litmus paper. Treat the water if required to

obtain the pH level between 7.5 to 8.5 (slightly alkaline).

7. Once the water system is ready, ensure at all times only clean water is supplied to the system. Dirty water will result in wide

degradation of performance and solids may clog valves, strainers, flow regulator, etc. Pump work will increase and may damage

the pumps. The heat exchanger may become clogged as well which will reduce the compressor service life or causes premature

failure.

8. Finally set the loop water controller heat rejection point to 29ºC (85ºF). Supply power to all motors and start the circulating

pumps. After full flow has been established through all components including heat rejectors (regardless of season) and air

vented and loop temperature stabilized, each of the air conditioner will be ready for check, test and start up, air balancing and

water balancing.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

• Service and maintenance should be performed by authorized dealer or qualified contractor.

• Internal components can be accessed through two service panels (front and back). External control box for easy access of

electrical components.

• Regular checks on the water strainer are recommended. Clean the strainer if dirty or clogged.

• Maintenance a log data on measurement of volts, amps, and water temperature difference is recommended. A comparison of the

data during start-up and periodic data is useful as indicator of general condition of equipment.

UNIT START UP AND OPERATION

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Make sure all wiring connection is correct and power supply is compatible to the rated voltage.

2. Open all valves in full open position and start the circulating pump. Make sure there is water running through the water loop before operating

the unit.

3. Set to mode ‘cool’. Then set the temperature to the coolest. The unit has time delay which protects the compressor for short cycling. Wait for

a few minutes before check on the air discharge for cool air delivery.

4. Measure the temperature difference between entering and leaving water. Leaving water temperature should be higher than entering water

temperature.

Example: If water temperature difference in cooling mode is 5°C (9°F), the heating mode difference should be 3.3°C (6°F).

5. If without automatic flow control valves, target the cooling mode water temperature difference between 5°C (9°F) to 8°C (14.4°F). This can

be achieved by adjusting shut-off/balancing valve in the return piping to a suitable water flow rate to achieve the desire temperature difference.

6. Check for vibration refrigerant piping, fan wheels, etc.

Note:

• Water cooled split type unit is controlled by fan coil unit.

• The controller is located on the fan coil unit.
