Carrier water chiller tripping
The chiller appears to be tripping out on HP after a few seconds running, have a look and see what you think

Re: Carrier water chiller tripping
Not sure, but the hp seems to go straight into what looks like a reversing valve ( can`t see why a chiller would have one though) could well be a restriction there as the hp rises so quickly.

Re: Carrier water chiller tripping
I wanted to see how fast the low pressure gauge goes up after it tripped but he moved the camera.
I don't think it is over charged.
There could be a problem in the 4 way valve.
I wish he could show pressure reading on the discharge line after the 4 way valve. That could help a lot.
I would have check the 4 way valve first.
In a second thought, there could be air in the system.Last edited by chemi-cool; 14-01-2010 at 05:57 PM.

Re: Carrier water chiller tripping
hi i tend to agree this looks like a case of over charging or possibly a major blockage like a bad solonoied valve!!!

Re: Carrier water chiller tripping
The high side climbs very quickly. I would think the reversing valve is stuck half way blocking the discharge line. Any blockages down stream of the condensor would let the system 'pump down'

Re: Carrier water chiller tripping
Turns out it was the reversing valve control board that was faulty

Hi Monkey Spanners.
watched the video and noted the copper end of actuating slide has been whacked and dented in, this could be source of problem , not allowing full travel and partially blocking restricking hot gas path.

Re: Carrier water chiller tripping
Also check that there are no dents in copper barrel of slide actuator that will restrict full travel as well.
A picture is worth a thousand words, videos are excellent if quick with pause button.
