KEHEMS KRISCOOL CRSW Maintenance & Inspection Checklist

Pre-start inspections · condition-based service planning · warning actions · fluids and maintenance records.

Pre-Start Inspection

Use these checks before operation and record unresolved protective trips or abnormal conditions.

1

Chilled-water circuit

Confirm pump availability, valve position and that the controller accepts the flow permissive.

Act if: flow is not proven or a water-flow trip is active.

2

Condenser-water circuit

Confirm condenser-water pump and upstream heat-rejection system are available.

Act if: water supply or heat rejection is unavailable.

3

Visible pipework

Inspect accessible joints, drains and insulation for leakage or damage.

Act if: leakage threatens circulation or electrical equipment.

4

Operating target

Confirm the authorized chilled-fluid target and operating mode on the controller.

Act if: the target differs from the approved process setting.

5

Compressor exterior

Look for visible damage and fresh oil traces. Keep covers and guards in place.

Act if: damage or suspected leakage is present.

6

Refrigerant circuit

Check for leak indications using the approved site procedure.

Act if: a leak indication, discharge or unsafe room condition is present.

7

Oil alarm history

Review oil-system alarms and operating indications in the specified operating state.

Act if: an unresolved oil-system alarm remains; do not add unverified oil.

8

Alarm history

Read active alarms and recent faults; record the affected circuit before resetting.

Act if: an unresolved protective trip is present.

9

Electrical enclosure

With covers closed, inspect for external damage, water ingress, unusual odor or heat damage.

Act if: burning smell, smoke or water ingress is evident.

10

Protection availability

Confirm flow, freeze, phase and pressure protections have not been bypassed.

Act if: a protective function is disabled, bridged or faulted.

11

Access & ventilation

Keep the chiller room accessible and maintain the designed ventilation.

Act if: a suspected refrigerant release makes access unsafe.

Condition-Based Service Planning

Service is driven by findings, operating history and the installed unit’s approved procedures. No universal oil-change, overhaul, descaling or filter-replacement interval is assigned here.

Compressor & oil system

Abnormal noise, vibration or trips

Record circuit and load; check supply and operating conditions; arrange compressor diagnosis before internal work.

INSPECT

Oil alarm or carryover

Confirm the indication and fitted oil procedure before sampling, adding or replacing lubricant.

CHECK
Evaporator & condenser

Low flow / poor cooling response

Check pumps, valves and restrictions; clean installed strainers only after isolation.

INSPECT

High-pressure trip / weak heat rejection

Check condenser-water supply and upstream heat rejection before investigating fouling.

CHECK
Controls & sensing

Expansion-valve instability

Verify sensor feedback, operating conditions and the valve/control circuit through the service interface.

INSPECT

Implausible temperature / pressure readings

Check sensor identity, wiring and measurement before replacing a sensor.

CHECK
Electrical service

Incoming cables & terminations

Investigate heating, discoloration, intermittent operation and repeated contactor faults along the complete supply path.

INSPECT

Starter / protective devices

Investigate starting sequence, interlocks, burnt contacts, overheating and recurring trips before parts replacement.

CHECK
Planned visits

Preventive service programme

Monthly, quarterly and half-yearly visit options may be used; the installed unit’s service agreement determines the cycle and task list.

PLAN

Running hours & starts

Retain compressor running hours and start count for component-service planning.

RECORD
Return to service

After maintenance

Restore guards and approved settings, confirm water circulation/interlocks, complete the authorized test run and record results.

VERIFY

Warning Alerts & Immediate Actions

STOP and CHECK indicate the suggested response level; always read the actual controller message and affected circuit.

Water-flow protection — STOP

Required circulation is not proven.

Action: Stop affected operation; check pump, valves and flow circuit.

Antifreeze protection — STOP

The evaporator is being protected from a freezing condition.

Action: Restore approved flow, fluid and setpoint conditions; investigate cause.

High-pressure protection — STOP

Heat rejection or refrigerant-circuit operation is abnormal.

Action: Check condenser-water and upstream heat rejection before circuit diagnosis.

Low-pressure protection — STOP

The refrigerant circuit is outside its permitted pressure condition.

Action: Record readings and diagnose the circuit; do not assume low charge.

High discharge temperature — STOP

A protected temperature condition has been reached.

Action: Stop and assess circuit conditions, sensing and compressor operation.

Phase inversion fault — STOP

The electrical supply/protection indicates an incorrect phase condition.

Action: Qualified electrical personnel verify supply and protection before restart.

Smoke / burning smell / overheated cables — STOP

An electrical fault may be present.

Action: Isolate where safe and call the electrical service team.

Suspected refrigerant release — STOP

Pressurized refrigerant may be escaping.

Action: Keep people clear and use the site emergency/ventilation procedure.

Repeated starts / anti-short-cycle delay — CHECK

Restart is being limited or cycling is abnormal.

Action: Respect the delay and review demand, settings and fault history.

Progressive performance loss — CHECK

Flow, load, water quality, heat transfer or refrigerant control may have changed.

Action: Compare with commissioning records and diagnose before charging or cleaning.

Reset discipline: save alarm and operating readings before reset. Correct the cause before restart; do not bypass interlocks or change protection thresholds to keep the machine running.
