Precautions for Equipment Design
Water Quality ControlBecause strain or corrosion on evaporator or condenser tubes of the centrifugal chiller depends on the quality of water used, sufficient control is recommended regarding the quality of circulating water that is used as chilled or cooling water.
MaintenanceMaintenance, other than daily operation and regular maintenance, requires expertise. Please contact Hitachi when necessary. Improper maintenance might cause machine fault, oxygen deficiency accidents, fire, electric shock or other problems.
Safety Precautions Regarding use Carefully read the instruction manual before use and correctly operate the equipment.
Regarding installation(1) Avoid installing the unit in places where inflammable material (gasoline, thinner, etc.) is handled or where corrosive gas (ammonia, chlorine, etc.) is generated. Otherwise, fire may result.(2) Carrying-in work, installation work, foundation work, electrical work, various piping work, various interlock work and hot/cold insulation work are necessary. Improper work might cause overturn, electric shock, water leakage, refrigerant leakage, fuel leakage, oxygen deficiency accidents, burns or other problems.(3) Refrigerant outdoor discharge piping work and suction and exhaust piping work are necessary. Improper work might cause oxygen deficiency accidents or other problems.(4) Waterproofing is necessary on the floor surface of the place where the chiller unit is installed, as well as a drainage ditch around the installation place. Improper waterproofing might cause water leakage, resulting in water damage to surrounding facilities in the worst case.(5) Sufficient space for maintenance work must be kept around the unit. Insufficient space might obstruct safe operation and cause injury.
(1) Avoid places that are near fire or burning substances (for example, care shall be taken regarding radiation heat when installed together with a heating element such as boiler)
(2) Select a well ventilated place where room temperature is 40˚C or less and humidity is low. (Be careful as high temperatures may cause electrical fault and early corrosion of equipment. Allowable ambient humidity: max. 95%RH at 40C)
(3) Select a low-dust area. (Dust may cause electrical fault.)(4) Select a place that is convenient for inspection and maintenance, paying attention to lighting.)(5) Keep sufficient space for maintenance, including spaces for pulling tubes, disassembling the water chamber, and maintenance and repair.(6) To facilitate the lifting up/down of equipment, provide lifting hooks on the ceiling or keep a sufficient room height for setting a lifting pole.(7) Provide sufficient drainage.(8) Avoid direct sunlight.(9) Prepare city water source and receptacles for maintenance work.(10) Keep sufficient maintenance space at the entrance for carrying equipment out.
Water piping and ventilation works
Machine room and safety devices
(1) Chilled and cooling water piping shall be supported by pipe supports and carefully laid so that no strong force will act on the evaporator or the condenser.
(2) Be sure to install a 10-mesh strainer on the inlet piping of chilled and cooling water.(3) Chilled and cooling water piping shall be planned such that their flow is controlled on the chiller outlet side.(4) The water storage capacity of each type is as follows:
(5) Keep a sufficient ventilating flow rate.(6) The system shall be planned so that transient pressure pulsation, which causes the water suspension relay to malfunction, won't occur.

It is expected that the world’s demand for primary energy will
steadily increase with economic growth, and more importance
has come to be given to energy saving in order to cut the
ever-increasing consumption of electricity.
High-efficiency GXG Series Centrifugal Chillers that use HFC134a
are excellent products developed by Hitachi, fully utilizing its
advanced technologies and rich experience. They are active
throughout the world due to their high reputation and excellent
performance. By minimizing the flow loss of HFC134a refrigerant,
thoroughly re-examining the power loss of rotor and motor, and
employing a 2-stage economizer cycle, Hitachi succeeded in
greatly increasing efficiency.
Electricity consumption of the world is steadily increasing
Global Warming PreventionEnergy saving by higher-efficiency centrifugal chillers
Global warming refers to the phenomenon of global rising in
average atmospheric temperatures due to increased volume of
CO2 and methane as a result of burning fossil fuels such as
petroleum and coal. The 1995 IPCC* Report predicted that if the
emission of CO2, etc. continued as it was, the atmospheric
temperature would rise by as high as 2˚C by the end of the 21st
century and, as a result, the sea level would rise by approximately
50 cm from the present level.
In such circumstances, it is more strongly required to save the
energy consumed by air conditioners in order to cut CO2
emission.
Average temperature of the earth is still going up
Ozone layer ProtectionUse of HFC134a refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential of zero
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) diffusing in the stratosphere are exposed to ultraviolet rays to be decomposed, separating
chlorine atoms. It is said that separated chlorine atoms combine with oxygen atoms in ozone to destroy the ozone.
Because HFC134a has no chlorine atoms, it does not destroy the ozone in the atmosphere.

Hitachi’s High Technology and Rich Experience Realized High-Efficiency Chillers
Three-dimensional blade impeller (two stages)The impeller with three-dimensional curved blades, which is low in internal flow loss, is employed to realize high efficiency in a wide operating range. The impeller is made of aluminum alloy with sufficient strength and manufactured by precision vacuum casting to give it ideal flow passages.
Vaned diffuserFor the diffuser, which is used to convert the velocity of refrigerant gas accelerated by the impeller into static pressure, vanes of small chord-pitch ratio and a high pressure recovery ratio were developed by computer design to realize high efficiency. The ideal diffuser shape, which is implemented by NC machines, realizes stable operation in a wide range from high to low load conditions.
Low-loss bearing structureDue to the employed 2-stage compression system, the speed of the compressor can be lowered, which results in reducing bearing loss.
2-stage compression economizer and subcooling cycleWith a vapor compression type chiller, the “heat of evaporation” that is generated when the state of the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas is used to cool chilled water in the evaporator. The lower the temperature of the liquid refrigerant that flows in the evaporator, the greater the heat of evaporation and the lower the quantity of circulated refrigerant. As a result, the power of the compressor is reduced and theoretical cycle efficiency increases. Economizer (intercooler) utilizes the self-cooling effect of refrigerant to lower the temperature of the refrigerant almost to the middle of condensing and evaporating temperatures. The employment of the 2-stage compressor makes it possible to employ the economizer cycle and thus increase efficiency. By employing the subcooler (a compact cooler built into the lower part of the condenser) to cool the liquid refrigerant, which is liquefied in the condenser, by means of cooling water, theoretical cycle efficiency is increased further.
By employing a three-dimensional blade impeller (2 stages), economizer subcooling cycle and high-performance heat exchanger tubes, Hitachi succeeded in greatly increasing efficiency
High-Efficiency CompressorHigh efficiency was achieved by employing precision cast three-dimensional blade impellers (two stages), vaned diffusers, and a low-loss bearing structure realized by lowering the specific speed of the compressor
High-Efficiency Refrigerating CycleThe economizer cycle and subcooling cycle are employed to increase the efficiency of the refrigerating cycle.
Evaporator and condenserThe high-performance heat exchanger tube is used in the evaporator and the condenser, and the arrangement of tube banks is optimized as well to improve the performance of the heat exchanger.

Low NoiseLow noise is achieved, and also high-frequency noise that hurts the ears is cut.
The fluid dynamic design of the compressor interior was optimized to achieve low noise. Because a 2-stage compressor is employed, speed is lowered and noise, especially high frequency noise, is cut remarkably.
Accessories
Continuously operable without worry even on very hot days
Stable operation continues even when cooling water temperature rises in hot summer and condenser pressure rises due to proceeding tube fouling.
Low-load operation is available throughout the year without special devices
Conventionally the lower limit point for capacity control has been set mechanically, so that the capacity at the lower limit point increases in intermediate seasons or winter. With the GXG series, operation is stable up to 20% even at low cooling water temperatures, without any special devices (hot gas bypass valve, etc.), due to microcomputer control.
Even in seasons where external air temperature is low, the expanded operating range of single unit chiller assures a high energy saving effect.
While conventional models require a controlling cooling water inlet temperature of 20˚C or higher, GXG series can operate up to a cooling water inlet temperature of 12˚C, expanding further the capacity range.

Precautions for Equipment Design
Water Quality ControlBecause strain or corrosion on evaporator or condenser tubes of the centrifugal chiller depends on the quality of water used, sufficient control is recommended regarding the quality of circulating water that is used as chilled or cooling water.
MaintenanceMaintenance, other than daily operation and regular maintenance, requires expertise. Please contact Hitachi when necessary. Improper maintenance might cause machine fault, oxygen deficiency accidents, fire, electric shock or other problems.
Safety Precautions Regarding use Carefully read the instruction manual before use and correctly operate the equipment.
Regarding installation(1) Avoid installing the unit in places where inflammable material (gasoline, thinner, etc.) is handled or where corrosive gas (ammonia, chlorine, etc.) is generated. Otherwise, fire may result.(2) Carrying-in work, installation work, foundation work, electrical work, various piping work, various interlock work and hot/cold insulation work are necessary. Improper work might cause overturn, electric shock, water leakage, refrigerant leakage, fuel leakage, oxygen deficiency accidents, burns or other problems.(3) Refrigerant outdoor discharge piping work and suction and exhaust piping work are necessary. Improper work might cause oxygen deficiency accidents or other problems.(4) Waterproofing is necessary on the floor surface of the place where the chiller unit is installed, as well as a drainage ditch around the installation place. Improper waterproofing might cause water leakage, resulting in water damage to surrounding facilities in the worst case.(5) Sufficient space for maintenance work must be kept around the unit. Insufficient space might obstruct safe operation and cause injury.
(1) Avoid places that are near fire or burning substances (for example, care shall be taken regarding radiation heat when installed together with a heating element such as boiler)
(2) Select a well ventilated place where room temperature is 40˚C or less and humidity is low. (Be careful as high temperatures may cause electrical fault and early corrosion of equipment. Allowable ambient humidity: max. 95%RH at 40C)
(3) Select a low-dust area. (Dust may cause electrical fault.)(4) Select a place that is convenient for inspection and maintenance, paying attention to lighting.)(5) Keep sufficient space for maintenance, including spaces for pulling tubes, disassembling the water chamber, and maintenance and repair.(6) To facilitate the lifting up/down of equipment, provide lifting hooks on the ceiling or keep a sufficient room height for setting a lifting pole.(7) Provide sufficient drainage.(8) Avoid direct sunlight.(9) Prepare city water source and receptacles for maintenance work.(10) Keep sufficient maintenance space at the entrance for carrying equipment out.
Water piping and ventilation works
Machine room and safety devices
(1) Chilled and cooling water piping shall be supported by pipe supports and carefully laid so that no strong force will act on the evaporator or the condenser.
(2) Be sure to install a 10-mesh strainer on the inlet piping of chilled and cooling water.(3) Chilled and cooling water piping shall be planned such that their flow is controlled on the chiller outlet side.(4) The water storage capacity of each type is as follows:
(5) Keep a sufficient ventilating flow rate.(6) The system shall be planned so that transient pressure pulsation, which causes the water suspension relay to malfunction, won't occur.
