Job Description:  Replace Crankcase Heater on a Ciat Chiller

Area: Isle of Dogs, London

Issue Identified:  Following a recent maintenance visit, our engineer found the expansion valve had failed and caused circuit 1 to trip. The crankcase heater was also not turning on therefore required replacing.

Works carried out:

  • Isolated the Ciat Chiller unit mechanically and electrically.
  • Removed and replaced the crankcase heater.
  • Recovered the refrigerant into a certified cylinder for safe storage on site.
  • Checked and confirmed the charge.
  • Removed and replaced the expansion valve.
  • Replaced the drier cores in the circuit.
  • Pressure tested with OFN (oxygen free nitrogen) to confirm system was leak tight.
  • Once proven released OFN to the atmosphere and evacuated the system to a minimum of 2 Torr.
  • Re-charged with recovered refrigerant.
  • Completed the F Gas and logs.
  • Cleared site of all waste generated.

Ciat Chiller Features

The AQUACIAT Chillers have been adapted for heating and air conditioning applications in the fields of Offices, Healthcare, Industry, Administration, and Commercial  buildings.

These units are designed for outdoor installation and do not require protection from adverse weather conditions.

To operate in COOLING or HEATING mode, these units use outside air as the only external source, this permits the evacuation of heat in summer or the supply of thermal energy for heating in winter.
