-
Ensure fire extinguishers are readily available, as electrical fires may result from system faults.
4. Operation Procedures
The following section describes the step-by-step operational process for the HX-5000 Industrial Cooling System, including start-up, standard operation, and shut-down procedures.
4.1 Start-Up Procedures
-
Check that all emergency stops are disengaged.
-
Ensure the power supply is properly connected (480V AC, 60Hz).
-
Verify that the system is within the safe operating temperature range.
-
Power on the system via the main control panel.
-
Monitor initial system pressure and temperature from the control display to ensure it stabilizes within the operational range (Pressure: 200-300 psi, Temperature: 10-15°C).
4.2 Normal Operation
-
Continuously monitor system performance through the control panel, ensuring the cooling capacity is within 4800-5000 kW.
-
Adjust any necessary parameters via the control panel interface for optimal performance.
-
Ensure refrigerant levels are sufficient. Use the visual indicators on the control panel to track refrigerant pressure.
4.3 Shut-Down Procedures
-
Gradually lower system capacity to reduce operational stress.
-
Power down the system using the control panel’s shutdown command.
-
Disconnect the system from the main power source for long periods of inactivity or maintenance.

-
Daily:
-
Visually inspect all pipes and joints for leaks.
-
Check system pressure and ensure it's within operational limits (200-300 psi).
-
-
Weekly:
-
Clean the air filters and inspect for blockages.
-
Test all alarms and safety interlocks to ensure they are functional.
-
-
Monthly:
-
Lubricate moving components, such as fan bearings, to reduce friction.
-
Check refrigerant levels and refill as necessary to maintain optimal performance.
-
5.2 Preventive Maintenance
-
Quarterly:
-
Replace the air filters and inspect the evaporator coils for frost buildup.
-
Perform electrical system diagnostics to check for irregular voltage or current.
-
-
Annually:
-
Replace worn-out parts, including fans and belts.
-
Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the system’s structural components, including the compressor and condenser unit.
