2. Check approved Chiller schedule & approved shop drawings for correct Model
of Chillers.

3. Provide support using either self-drilling anchors, or proper dia masonary drill
carryout the preparatory work in the slab to receive self-anchors or unifix.
Consider anchor manufacturers recommended dia/depth of hole. Fix the unifix&
taper locks to be placed securely in the location. Hang a threaded rod and use
a lock nut to lock it with the slab. Remove the sharp edge at the open end of GI
threaded rod and apply galvanized paint.

4. Provide slope towards condensate drain connection side.

5. Make sure that the Refrigerant used in Chiller & specified is same & factory
charged.

6. Check the chiller to be installed is with fully pre wired, electrical & water
connections.

7. Check the compressor with suction & discharge shut off valve & to be mounted
on vibration spring isolators & protected by factory supplied grills.

8. Check for crankcase heater to be provided to minimize oil dilution during

shutdown periods chillers shall be selected for 46 Deg C but it must be capable
of working up to 52 Deg C.

9. Ensure that the cooler shall match with specification & also shall be with two
independent refrigerant circuits with all accessories such as hot gas muffler,
high side pressure relief valve, liquid line shut off valve, filter drier, sight glass,
solenoid valve & automatic expansion valve.

10. Ensure for Chiller are with flow switches, control board, sound reduction kit,
microprocessor based controllers for loading & unloading & digital display
module with BMS capability for future.
