pressure relief valve. All chillers are fitted with drain valves on
the removable heads and shell. All coolers are factory insulated
with 25mm of closed cell expanded synthetic rubber with all
joints vapor sealed. Coolers are designed in accordance with
ASME guidelines and are rated according to the following
pressures.

High efficiency heat transfer•
tubes are used in Model SA
coolers having the external
(refrigerant side) surface
expanded with “saw tooth”
type fins. The inside surface
has helical grooves to induce a swirling motion in the chilled
water which improves heat transfer efficiency.
Air Cooled Condenser
Condenser coils are constructed from copper tubes with spiral•
grooves on their inside surface to maximize heat transfer
efficiency. Aluminum condenser fins have a corrosion resistant
and hydrophilic coating to minimize dust and moisture
accumulation and ensure a long working life. The fins have
rippled and louvered surfaces to improve heat dissipation
efficiency. Each condenser section comprises 4 coils in a
reversed M arrangement which
ensures that at least 3 coils are
always shaded from direct solar
radiation and can therefore
operate satisfactorily in ambient
temperature up to 52˚C (125˚F).
Condenser fans are axial type using high strength pressed and•
formed aluminum alloy fan blades mechanically attached to
rustless steel fan hubs. Fan motors are waterproof rated to IP-54
with class ‘F’ insulation suitable for operation in temperatures
from -20˚c to 65˚c (-4˚F to 150˚F).
Electronic Expansion Valve
This is a standard feature on each refrigeration circuit on all
Model SA liquid chillers, Electronic expansion valves ensure
stable operation throughout their operating range and precisely
control the refrigerant flow
through the cooler. The very
low pressure losses associated
with electronic expansion
valves ensures that full
operating cost savings can be
achieved during cooler seasons
when ambient temperatures
and condensing pressures are reduced.
Economizer
This is a standard feature of all Model SA liquid
chillers. Economizers improve the efficiency of
the compressor and refrigeration system and
increase the capacity of the chiller.
Control Center
All SA liquid chillers are•
equipped with a factory
fitted and wired control
center mounted on one
end of the chiller unit.
The high voltage section
incorporates compressor
and fan contractors and
safety controls and is protected by a door interlocked isolator.
The low voltage control section is accessed by a separate
lockable door and houses the microprocessor controller and
LED screen displaying operating and historical date.
For high ambient units a double panel (panel within a panel)•
arrangement is used with thermostatically controlled fans to
ventilate the inter-panel
space and prevent “sun-
baking” in tropical areas
causing excessively high
temperatures inside the
panel.
