LOW FLUID TEMPERATURE — Main Base Board is pro-
grammed to shut chiller down if leaving fluid temperature
drops below 34 F (1.1 C) for cooler fluid type water or below
Brine Freeze Setpoint (Brine Freeze Setpoint, LOSP) for
cooler fluid type brine. The unit will shut down without a
pumpout. When fluid temperature rises to 6° F (3.3° C) above
the leaving fluid set point, safety resets and chiller restarts.
Reset is automatic as long as this is the first occurrence.
LOSS OF FLUID FLOW PROTECTION — All 30XW ma-
chines include an integral flow switch that protects the cooler
against loss of cooler flow. In addition, all models ordered for
heat reclaim duty have factory installed condenser water sen-
sors and an integral flow switch.
TUBE PLUGGING — A leaky tube can be plugged until
retubing can be done. The number of tubes plugged determines
how soon the cooler must be retubed. All tubes in the cooler
may be removed. Loss of unit capacity and efficiency as well
as increased pump power will result from plugging tubes.
Failed tubes should be replaced as soon as possible. Up to 10%
of the total number of tubes per pass can be plugged before
retubing is necessary. Fig. 48 shows an Elliott tube plug and a
cross-sectional view of a plug in place. See Tables 43-46 for
plug components. If the tube failure occurs in both circuits
using tube plugs will not correct the problem. Contact your
local Carrier representative for assistance.

RETUBING — When retubing is required, obtain service of
qualified personnel experienced in boiler maintenance and
repair. Most standard procedures can be followed when retub-
ing the coolers. An 8% crush is recommended when rolling
replacement tubes into the tubesheet.
Place one drop of Loctite No. 675 or equivalent on top of
tube prior to rolling. This material is intended to “wick” into the
area of the tube that is not rolled into the tube sheet, and prevent
fluid from accumulating between the tube and the tube sheet.
New tubes must also be rolled into the center tubesheet to
prevent circuit to circuit leaks.
TIGHTENING COOLER HEAD BOLTS
Preparation
— When reassembling cooler heads, always
check the condition of the O-rings first. The O-ring should be
replaced if there is visible signs of deterioration, cuts or
damage. Apply a thin film of grease to the O-ring before
installation. This will aid in holding the O-ring in the groove
while the head is installed. Torque all bolts to the following
specification and in sequence:
3
/
4
-in. Diameter Perimeter Bolts (Grade 5) . . . 200 to 225 ft-lb
(271 to 305 N-m)
1. Install all bolts finger tight.
2. Bolt tightening sequence is outlined in Fig. 49. Follow
the numbering or lettering sequence so that pressure is
evenly applied to O-ring.
3. Apply torque in one-third steps until required torque is
reached. Load all bolts to each one-third step before pro-
ceeding to next one-third step.
4. No less than one hour later, retighten all bolts to required
torque values.
5. After refrigerant is restored to system, check for refriger-
ant leaks using recommended industry practices.
6. Replace cooler insulation.
CAUTION
Use extreme care when installing plugs to prevent damage
to the tube sheet section between the holes.
