What is the EarthSmart ECM Series  
Chiller?  
NOTE: Chiller’s environment  
and cooling temperatures  
below the default cooling  
ranges will affect cooling  
capacities.  
The Conair EarthSmart ECM Series Chillers provide self-contained sources of  
chilled water and are available with compressor ranges of 0.5 Hp or 0.75 Hp  
(nominal capacities of 0.41 tons or 0.70 tons of refrigeration).  
IMPORTANT: Nominal chilling capacities are based on 95°F {35°C} ambient air conditions and  
processing 50°F {10°C} leaving water.  
ECM Series Chillers are designed to provide chilled fluid for industrial applica-  
tions requiring 24-hour-a-day performance. Units are totally self-contained for  
easy, economical installation. All parts wetted by the process are non-ferrous.  
Typical Applications  
ECM Series Chillers can be used anywhere a reliable source of process cooling  
water at temperatures ranging from 45° to 65°F {7.2°C to 18.3°C} is required.  
These chillers at full load, will discharge approximately 7,500 or 12,500  
BTU/hr of heat into the atmosphere (depending on model).  
Chillers are available for:  
Injection molding  
Blow molding  
Thermoforming  
Extrusion  
Dryer intercoolers/aftercoolers  
Heatset/web offset printing presses  
Degreasing  
Laser  
Air compressors  
Metal plating  
Anodizing

Limitations  
Conair EarthSmart ECM Series Chillers are chosen based on the cooling load,  
ambient temperature and cooling temperature.  
Cooling load - Choose a chiller that has 0 - 10% more cooling capacity than  
the process load to be chilled.  
Ambient temperature - The chiller’s air-cooled condenser requires an  
ambient air temperature between 40° to 95°F {4.4° to 35°C} for efficient  
operation. Operation above 95°F {35°C} may result in elevated condensing  
pressures and will eventually cause the chiller to shut down due to a high  
pressure safety switch. Contact Conair Service for information for operating  
within ambient air temperatures above 95°F {35°C} or below 40°F {4.4.°C}.  
Temperature - As standard, ECM Series Chillers can provide cooling  
temperature ranges of 45°F to 65°F {7.2°C to 18.3°C}. For cooling  
temperatures below 45°F {7.2°C}, contact Conair Service.  
Use this information as a general guide. Consult your Conair representative for  
assistance when choosing a Conair EarthSmart ECM Series Chiller.

The evaporator extracts heat from the process fluid,  
causing the refrigerant to vaporize (evaporate) into a gas.

Vaporized refrigerant travels to the compressor, where the  
low-pressure vapor is compressed into a high-pressure,  
high-temperature vapor.  
The high-pressure, high-temperature vapor travels from the  
compressor through the condenser, where the fan cools  
and condenses the vapor into a high-pressure, high-  
temperature liquid.

High-pressure, high-temperature liquid is metered back to  
the evaporator by the expansion valve (TXV), changing it  
to a low-pressure, low-temperature vapor.

How it Works: Component Listing  
Water system  
Motor/Pump assembly - The motor/pump assembly circulates chilled  
coolant through the process loop. The pump assembly is built with brass to  
maintain water quality.  
Refrigeration system  
Compressor - Hermetic compressor takes low-pressure, low-temperature  
refrigerant gas and compresses the gas into high-pressure, high-temperature  
vapor.  
Air-cooled condenser - The air-cooled condenser removes heat BTUs from  
the compressor refrigerant gas. The action causes the gas to “condense” into a  
liquid state still under high pressure. Air flow across the condenser is  
achieved by a motor driven fan.  
Fan cycling switch - The fan cycling switch is adjustable when the chiller is  
in an environment cooler than 95°F {35°C}. See Appendix J entitled,  
Plumbing Schematic.  
Filter-dryer - The filter-drier removes contaminants and moisture from the  
liquid refrigerant.  
Liquid receiver - Serves as a collection tank for high-pressure liquid  
refrigerant to ensure total charge at all times.  
Refrigerant sight glass - The refrigerant sight glass indicates refrigerant  
charge and moisture content. Refrigerant charge is determined by a clear  
liquid flow. Bubbles indicate low refrigerant. Moisture content is indicated by  
the color of the sight glass view port element. The element’s color is normally  
green. If the color of the element is dark brown or yellow, the system has  
been contaminated with moisture and the refrigerant circuit needs to be  
serviced by a qualified refrigerant service technician. See Maintenance  
section entitled, Checking the Refrigerant Charge and Quality.  
Expansion valve - The expansion valve meters flow of liquid refrigerant  
into the evaporator and creates a pressure drop in the refrigerant system that  
allows the liquid refrigerant to “boil off” inside the evaporator.

How it Works: Component Listing  
(continued)  
Evaporator - The evaporator is a brazed plate heat exchanger where the  
liquid refrigerant is allowed to evaporate (boil off) to absorb the heat (BTU)  
from the process fluid. As the heat is absorbed, the process fluid is chilled.  
High/Low Pressure Switches: The high/low pressure switches protect the  
refrigeration system from unsafe operating levels. The high pressure switch  
is factory set to open at 230 PSI and protects the refrigeration components  
and personnel from potential damage or injury from excessively high  
pressure. The high pressure safety must not be altered in the field for any  
reason. The low pressure switch is factory set to open at 25 PSI and to close  
at 35 PSI. The low pressure switch protects the chillers from possible damage  
due to low operating pressure. The low pressure switch is field adjustable for  
setpoints below 45°F {7.2°C}, contact a Conair representative for more  
information.  
NOTE: The fan cycling switch  
is adjustable when the chiller  
is in an environment cooler  
than 95°F {35°C}. See  
Appendix J entitled, Plumbing  
Schematic.  
IMPORTANT: Altering the High Pressure Switch setting will void any chiller warranty.

Preparing for Installation  
Plan the location for the chiller and prepare the area properly.  
Position the chiller as close to the process machine as possible. Place the chiller in  
position near the process machine so that coolant lines can be connected from the  
process machine to the chiller and back.  
Chiller  
Process machine  
Alternate  
locations  
Make sure the area where the chiller is installed has:  
A grounded power source.  
Check the chiller’s serial tag for the correct amps, voltage, phase and  
cycle. All wiring should be completed by a qualified technician and  
comply with your region’s electrical codes.  
NOTE: Models must be posi-  
tioned so that the condenser  
air inlet is no warmer than  
95°F {35°C} and the condenser  
air outlet is not blocked or  
restricted in any way.  
Clearance for safe operation and maintenance.  
Ensure there is 2 ft {0.6 m} of clearance at the air intake and 2 ft  
{0.6 m} of clearance at the exhaust discharge for proper operation. Air  
flow is generated by the motor driven fan. Air flow is from the outside  
of the chiller, through the condenser and exhausted through the unit.  
Exhaust air can not be ducted on motor driven fan models.  
NOTE: Locate models away  
from heat producing equip-  
ment. These items will affect  
ambient air conditions and the  
performance of the chiller.  
Position the locking casters to prevent the chiller from moving. For  
maintenance and servicing, be sure there is enough clearance to  
remove all access panels completely.  
Available water source.  
Ensure water make-up source is plumbed to the chiller’s installation  
location. High points in the plumbing require vent valves; low points  
require drain valves.

Making Process Plumbing  
Connections  
All process piping materials (such as hoses, rigid piping, valves or filters) used  
with process water piping circuitry must be rated for 100°F {37.8°C} minimum  
temperature and 150 PSI {10.3 bar} minimum pressure.  
NOTE: The ability of the unit to  
maintain process temperature  
control depends on the method  
of installation.  
All such materials must have the equivalent or larger diameter of the particular  
process connection that the length of process water piping is connected to.  
NOTE: Assure the piping  
installation has continuous  
flow at all times. If using a  
mechanical valve to regulate  
process flow you MUST install  
a bypass in the process  
piping.”  
Process water piping circuitry should be designed to avoid an excessive use of  
elbows and/or lengths of pipe or hose. If hose is the material of choice, avoid  
tight twists or curls and excessive lengths.  
Valves and filters may be installed in the process water piping circuitry to  
facilitate service and maintenance provided that these devices maintain the full  
inside diameter of the process connection. If installed, all devices must be open  
and clean during unit operation.  
Warm coolant from process equipment enters the chiller at the “From Process”  
inlet and chilled coolant returns to the process equipment through the To  
Process” outlet.  
To connect process plumbing:  
1 Remove the shipping plastic pipe plugs from the female “To Process” and  
“From Process” connections on the back of the portable chiller.

Filling the Chiller  
The chiller is shipped without coolant. The chiller is manually filled during instal-  
lation using water as its coolant.  
For atypical process temperatures below 45°F {7.2°C}, use the table below to  
determine the percentage (by volume) of glycol needed for the process tempera-  
ture that is required. Mix the proper percentage of glycol with water.  
IMPORTANT: The chiller’s control does not monitor the percentage mixture of glycol.

chiller.  
2 Open the To Process” and “From Process” valves (factory optional).  
3 Open the Fill/Drain valve or water supply and fill the chiller to the 7/8 full  
level on the water level gauge. If the chiller is overfilled, the excess water  
spills out the vent tube. DO NOT OVERFILL.  
4 Close the Fill/Drain valve.  
5 Check the coolant level. When the chiller is turned on the coolant level drops  
as it begins to circulate, filling the connected plumbing. Check the  
coolant level on the back of the chiller. Make sure the coolant level is filled to  
the 7/8 full level on the water level gauge. Shut down the chiller and add more  
coolant, if needed.  
6 Disconnect water hose from Fill/Drain valve, if the chiller is to be used  
elsewhere.

Checking the Refrigerant Charge  
WARNING: Refrigerant hazard  
Only certified refrigerant technicians should examine and correct problems  
involving the refrigerant circuit.  
CAUTION: Always disconnect and lock out the main power sources before making  
electrical connections. Electrical connections should be made only by a qualified  
electrical technician.  
All chillers are fully charged with R-134A refrigerant from Conair. Your chiller’s  
model nameplate identifies the type and amount of total refrigerant charge  
required.  
Check the refrigerant charge while the chiller is running through the sight glass.  
Locate the sight glass by removing the left-side panel and using a flashlight, if  
necessary to check the sight glass:  
Under full load conditions, the refrigerant should be clear (no bubbles).  
Under low load conditions, when the Hot-gas Bypass valve is energized,  
bubbles may be visible in the sight glass. This is normal.  
If the charge is low and the unit is under warranty, contact Conair service.  
Otherwise have a local, certified refrigeration technician add R-134A refrigerant to  
the system.  
NOTE: In this diagram, the  
chiller’s panels are removed  
for clarity.

Chiller Operation Sequence  
The EarthSmart ECM Series Chiller has a unique user interface that controls the  
process temperature and prevents refrigeration migration during compressor off  
times.  
When the main power is connected:  
1 Depending on the state of the refrigeration system, the compressor may  
turn on momentarily upon connecting power. The compressor will stop when  
the refrigerant is pumped into the condenser and a low pressure condition exists  
in the evaporator.  
When the power toggle switch is turned to the “On”or “I” position:  
2 Turning the toggle switch on immediately starts the process pump and  
illuminates the control. When flow is established and the unit is not in a low  
temperature alarm, the Liquid Line Solenoid valve (LLSV) will open. This  
allows the refrigerant to migrate to the evaporator and increase the pressure.  
When the low refrigerant pressure switch is satisfied the compressor will turn on  
and process coolant will begin cooling.  
3 When the process temperature is above setpoint the compressor will run  
and the Hot-Gas Bypass valve (HGBP) will not open. If the process  
temperature falls below the setpoint, the HGBP valve will energize, raising the  
actual process temperature to maintain the user-entered setpoint temperature.  
The HGBP valve can energize up to 9 out of 10 seconds. If there is less load  
on the chiller and the temperature continues to fall to 4°F {2.2°C} below the  
user-entered setpoint the controller will alarm (A2.lo) and close the LLSV. The  
compressor will pump the refrigerant out of the evaporator and the low pressure  
switch will shut off the compressor. This is a normal function of the chiller and  
will not require troubleshooting.  
4 The controller stays in this alarm condition (A2.lo) until the temperature is  
2°F {1.1°C} above the user-entered setpoint, at which point the controller  
allows the LLSV to re-open and the compressor to restart.

Chiller Operation Sequence  
(continued)  
5 The condenser fan can energize anytime the toggle switch is in the “On”  
or “I” position. The fan is controlled by the fan cycling (high refrigeration)  
pressure switch. This switch maintains the high side refrigeration pressure  
under cooler ambient temperatures and lower loads. The fan will turn on when  
the high refrigeration pressure reaches 200 PSI {13.8 bar}. It will turn off  
when the pressure drops below 125 PSI {8.6 bar}.  
6 The high refrigeration safety pressure switch shuts off the compressor  
immediately when the high refrigeration pressure reaches 230 PSI  
{15.9 bar} without going through pump down during a low pressure cycle.  
If the high pressure switch trips, it must be manually reset by pressing the  
“Reset” button on the switch. The compressor can start immediately when  
this is reset so caution should be exercised. See Operation section entitled,  
Resetting the Compressor’s High Pressure Switch.  
CAUTION: The compressor can start immediately when the High Pressure “Reset”  
button is pressed.

Checking Reservoir Level  
WARNING: Electrical Hazard  
Before performing any work on the chiller, disconnect and lock out electrical  
power sources to prevent injury from unexpected energization or startup. Be  
sure that power to the chiller is OFF when doing any maintenance on the  
chiller. Follow all safety rules when performing any maintenance on this  
equipment.  
Check the coolant level in the reservoir. The coolant level in the sight glass on the  
back of the chiller should be 7/8 full.  
To manually fill the reservoir:  
1 Disconnect and lockout power to the chiller.  
2 Locate the Fill/Drain valve on the back of the chiller. Open the Fill/Drain valve  
or coolant supply and fill the chiller to the 7/8 full level on the water level gauge.  
If the chiller is overfilled, the excess water spills out the vent tube. DO NOT  
OVERFILL.  
3 Refill the reservoir. Monitor the level using the water level indicator on the back  
of the chiller, ensuring you are adding the correct fluid for your application.  
4 Close the Fill/Drain valve.  
5 Check the coolant level. When the chiller is turned on the coolant level drops  
as it begins to circulate, filling the connected plumbing. Check the  
coolant level on the back of the chiller. Make sure the coolant level is filled to  
the 7/8 full level on the water level gauge. Shut down the chiller and add more  
coolant, if needed.  
6 Disconnect water hose from Fill/Drain valve, if the chiller is to be used  
elsewhere.

Cleaning the Pump Strainer  
EarthSmart Chillers use a rotary pump to flow process coolant through their internal  
piping and to the process. A strainer on the pump may periodically need cleaning,  
depending upon the quality of the process coolant.  
WARNING: Electrical Hazard  
Before performing any work on the chiller, disconnect and lock out electrical  
power sources to prevent injury from unexpected energization or startup. Be  
sure that power to the chiller is OFF when doing any maintenance on the  
chiller. Follow all safety rules when performing any maintenance on this  
equipment.  
To clean the pump’s strainer:  
1 Be sure the main power is disconnected and/or the chiller is locked out. Always  
disconnect/unplug and lockout the main power source before opening the unit for  
servicing.  
2 Drain all process coolant from the chiller, see Installation section entitled, Drain  
Connection.  
3 Remove the chiller’s right-side panel. (As viewed from the control)  
4 Locate the chiller’s pump. It is located in the lower portion of the chiller’ cabinet  
and towards the front of the chiller.

Checking the Refrigerant Charge and  
Quality  
WARNING: Refrigerant Hazard  
Only certified refrigerant technicians should examine and correct problems  
involving the refrigerant circuit.  
CAUTION: Always disconnect and lock out the main power sources before making  
electrical connections. Electrical connections should be made only by a qualified  
electrical technician.  
All chillers are fully charged with R-134A refrigerant from Conair. Your chiller’s  
model nameplate identifies the type and amount of total refrigerant charge required.  
See Description section entitled, Specifications: EarthSmart ECM Series Chillers.  
Check refrigerant charge while the chiller is running under normal load. Check the  
refrigerant charge through the sight glass. Use a flashlight, if necessary, and check the  
liquid-line sight glass:  
Under full load conditions, the refrigerant should be clear (no bubbles).  
Under low load conditions, when the Hot-Gas Bypass valve (HGBP) is  
operating, bubbles may be visible in the sight glass. This is normal.  
A refrigerant quality label is located within the sight glass. A green label is normal. A  
yellow or dark brown label indicates that the refrigerant is contaminated and must be  
replaced.  
NOTE: In this diagram, the  
chiller’s panels are removed  
for clarity.  
If the charge is low or contaminated and the chiller is under warranty, contact Conair  
service; or have a local, certified refrigeration technician service the system.

Overhead Plumbing Details  
Overhead piping installations above process connections require installing a check  
valve in the “To Process” line and a 12 inch {305 mm} riser with a check valve and  
vacuum break in the “From Process” line to prevent siphoning when shutting down  
the chiller. Install a vent tube at 12 inches {305 mm} above the highest system point  
to prevent over pressurization. Maximum height of piping above process connections  
is 25 ft {7.6 m}.
