CH3000 Chiller Operator’s & Installation Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Cornelius CH Series, Refrigerated Recirculating Water Chillers are designed to provide a continuous flow of clean

cooling water at a constant temperature and to handle a variety of closed loop and tank cooling applications.

The CH Series consists of a refrigeration system with associated operating controls housed in a sturdy sheet metal

cabinet. A standard pump and reservoir package provides a complete self-contained water cooling and circulating

system.

CH Series Chillers are designed to operate in a clean laboratory or industrial environment where ambient temperatures

range from 50°F to 100°F. Once properly installed, CH Series Chillers run virtually maintenance free and provide a

constant supply of cooling liquid to the application.

Specifications

The CH Series specifications are shown in Table 1.

Specification Notes

1. The figures for power and cooling capacity are listed for air-cooled units with a circulation temperature

of 68° F and ambient temperature of 80°F and standard pump.

2. Cooling capacity will be affected as follows: Derate 17% for 50 Hz operation. Derate 1% for each ° F

drop in recirculating temperature. Derate 0.5% for each ° F increase in ambient temperature.

3. The operating water temperature range for water is 50° F (10° C) to 100° F (38° C). If uses of other

fluids or temperatures are required, the Technical Service Department must be contacted so the

appropriate ranges can be set.

4. All CH Series Chillers are thoroughly tested before leaving the factory to ensure that each unit meets

these specifications prior to shipment.

LOCATION

Install the Chiller indoors in a well ventilated area where ambient temperatures will never fall below 50° F or rise above

110° F. To obtain optimum cooling capacity, the ambient temperature should be 80° F or below.

Standard CH Chillers have air-cooled condensers. On air-cooled units it is important that the air intake and discharge

are not obstructed. Avoid hot air discharge from other equipment or enclosed areas where heat build-up could cause a

significant rise in ambient temperatures. A minimum of two feet of space on all four sides of the Chiller will be sufficient

to prevent obstruction.
