Installation
Each installation of a Gas Engine Chiller Driveline is different. For optimum performance and service life, the installation should conform to the requirements that are in the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide".
Fuel System
The piping for the fuel must be large enough in order to provide constant fuel pressure to the driveline. Refer to the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for assistance in determining the pipe size that is needed for the fuel system.
A flexible connection should be used between the driveline and the piping for the fuel supply.
A fuel filter should be installed in order to protect the entire fuel system on the driveline. Refer to the Special Instruction, SEHS9298, "Installation And Maintenance Of Gaseous Fuel Filters" for more information.
A manually operated valve should be installed to the driveline at the fuel supply connection in order to allow servicing of the fuel system.
A pressure port must be provided in order to monitor the fuel pressure to the driveline.
Exhaust System
The exhaust piping must conform to the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" requirements. The restriction of the exhaust should be kept as low as possible. Provisions must be made in order to check the exhaust back pressure and the exhaust emissions.
If a movable rain cap is used, the rain cap must be easily observed in order to ensure that the rain cap is opening when the engine is operating. The rain cap must be easily opened and the rain cap must be easily closed. The rain cap should not stick in the open position or in the closed position.
For each cubic foot per minute of methane (CH4) that is consumed during combustion, approximately 0.095 lb (0.012 US gal) of water is formed. Drains must be provided in order to allow the condensate to drain from the exhaust system. Long exhaust pipes may require more than one drain for the condensation.
Any exhaust piping that is used indoors should be insulated in order to reduce the heat inside the room due to radiation.
Flexible connections must be used in order to protect the engine exhaust's components from the stresses that are induced by the expansion of the external piping.
Crankcase Ventilation
Reference: Consult the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for assistance when you are installing a crankcase ventilation system.
Any system that is installed must maintain a minimum back pressure. No more than 0.5 inches of water back pressure is permissible.
Cooling System
Gas Engine Chiller Drivelines use a common heat exchanger in order to isolate the engine cooling systems from the external cooler. Refer to the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for more information. The cooling water system should provide constant pressure and constant flow. Valves should be used in order to isolate the external system from the driveline for service work.
Pressure taps must be provided in order to monitor the pressure drop across the external circuit of the driveline's heat exchangers. The minimum pressure drop is 48 kPa (7 psi).
A strainer should be installed prior to the driveline's heat exchanger in order to minimize any plugging of the heat exchanger. Valves should be installed in order to allow servicing of the strainer without draining the entire cooling system. Ports should also be provided in order to monitor the pressure drop across the strainer. These ports can also be used in order to drain the strainer for servicing.
Air Supply
Compressed air is required in order to actuate the clutch. Compressed air may also be used in order to start the engine. Refer to the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for more information. The compressed air system must be large enough to achieve the following two tasks. The compressed air system must supply air for starting, and the system must recover quickly in order to engage the clutch.
Engine Model     | Required Air Supply Pressure     |
---|---|
G3408, G3412, G3508, G3512     | 125 psi     |
G3516     | 135 psi     |
Installations with more than one unit must be able to start one engine while another engine is under load. Check valves may be required in order to maintain air pressure at the air pallet for the chiller's clutch while the compressor supplies enough air pressure in order to crank another chiller.
Refer to the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for more information.
Electrical Systems
Reference: Consult the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for additional information.
Power Distribution (AC)
Illustration 3 | g00317663 |
Center Control Panel Wire Connection |
The driveline uses 480 volts (AC) and 24 volts (DC). Connection points for the 480 volt supply are in the panel at the rear of the driveline's skid. Route the 480 volt wires through the center tray in the panel. Make connections to the disconnect switch on the left side terminals.
DC Power Supply
The driveline's engine control system requires a power supply of 24 volts (DC). Current requirements are approximately 10 amperes for the control system. If electric starters are used, the source's capacity must be increased in order to accommodate the increased current demand during starting. Refer to the Manual, LEKQ2368, "Gas Engine Application And Installation Guide" for sizing information for the power supply.
Note: A battery charger can not be used as a source for the 24 volts (DC). A battery charger must be connected to a set of batteries in order to function properly.
On drivelines that use electric starters, connect a 24 volt power supply directly to the starters.
Illustration 4 | g00317666 |

On drivelines that use air starters, connect the positive terminal of the 24 volt supply to CB2 (1) on the control panel. Connect the negative terminal of the 24 volt supply to Terminal 5 (2) on the control panel.
Welding
Welding on the driveline is permitted when proper precautions are followed. Follow these precautions in order to prevent damage to the driveline's components. All electronic components are subject to damage from welding currents. Bearings will be damaged if welding currents are passed through the bearings.
- Ensure that all of the switches are in the OFF position.
- Disconnect the power supplies to the driveline.
- Connect the ground cable directly to the member that is being welded. Place the clamp close to the weld in order to reduce the possibility of damage to the driveline's components from the welding current.
- Protect all of the nonferrous parts from welding debris and from spatter.
Alignment And Dowel Installation
All drivelines are aligned in the factory. Compressors on the following models are dowelled in the factory: G3408, G3412, G3508, G3512 and G3516. Transmission gears and engines must be dowelled on-site.
Take care when you are installing the condenser and the evaporator piping. This will minimize the adjustment that is required for alignment of the driveline.
Alignment
Proper alignment is required in order to provide maximum life and performance of the following components: compressor, transmission gear, clutch, couplings and engine. Proper alignment can be accomplished by using dial indicators or a laser alignment tool.
This procedure is performed while the driveline is cold. Ensure that all of the mating surfaces are free of dirt, grease, paint, and rust. It is best to check the alignment of the bore and the alignment of the face simultaneously.
Note: If dial indicators are being used, make sure that the brackets that are being used do not sag.
In order to align the driveline, the following items must be accomplished:
- The air supply to the clutch must be connected. Air is required in order to complete the alignment.
- The 24 volt power supply must be connected to the engine's control panel. The 24 volts are required in order to engage the clutch for alignment.
- The following piping must be completed: Fuel, Cooling Water (Driveline), Refrigerant, Condenser, Evaporator and Engine Exhaust.
- The refrigerant must be fully charged.
- The following cooling water systems must be fully charged: Driveline, Condenser and Chilled Water.
- The following reservoirs must be full: Engine crankcase and Compressor's sump.
- The shells and the driveline must be suspended on the isolators.
The following steps should be completed in order to align the driveline:
- Secure the engine so that the engine cannot be rotated accidentally from the control panel.
- Install the engine turning tool.
- Remove the high speed guard and remove the low speed guard.
- In order to rotate the compressor with the turning tool, the clutch must be engaged. Install a temporary jumper wire from Terminal 301 to Terminal 1 in the engine's control panel. Remove this jumper wire after the alignment has been completed.
- Use the tables from this Special Instruction in order to determine the correct target for the alignment.
- Record the data for the alignment.
- Align the high speed shafts from the transmission gear to the compressor first.
- Turn on the compressor's lubrication pump. Allow the pump's pressure to increase to the normal operating level. Turn off the pump. Wait for two minutes before you proceed.
- If you are using dial indicators, install brackets (3) on the driving equipment (5) on the gear's output shaft. Place one of the indicators on the input flange's face (6) on the compressor. Place the other indicator on the diameter (4) of the flange. Take the indicator readings at 90 degree intervals through one complete revolution of the compressor shaft.

Prestart Information
Provide the driveline with the 480 volts power supply and the 24 volt power supply. Ensure that all the control panels are activated.
Check the oil pump of the transmission gear for the correct rotation. Actuate C2 in the electrical panel (AC) while you are watching the oil pressure gauge. If the pump does not produce pressure, change the rotation of the pump.
With the engine control switch in the AUTO position, turn on the jacket water heater. Check for warming at the heater's outlet. If the heater's outlet does not warm up, check the setting of the thermostat. Reset the thermostat to 50°C (120°F).
Connect a jumper wire from Terminal 301 in the engine's control panel to the 24 volt power supply. Adjust the air pressure to the clutch to 792.8 kPa (115 psi) for the following models:
- G3408
- G3412
- G3508
- G3512
Adjust the air pressure to the clutch to 862 kPa (125 psi) for the G3516.
Engage and disengage the clutch. Adjust the air pallet needle valve until the air pressure gauge indicates 792.8 kPa (115 psi) (two seconds after the actuation). The pressures that are mentioned above are applicable to the following models:
- G3408
- G3412
- G3508
- G3512
Adjust the air pallet needle valve until the air pressure gauge indicates 862 kPa (125 psi) for the G3516 (two seconds after the actuation). Lock down the needle valve by using the setscrew in the handle. Remove the jumper wire.
Check the throttle linkage for the correct adjustment. Ensure that the throttle linkage moves easily.
Purge the fuel supply line to the regulator until gas is available.
Install a water manometer in order to measure the air/fuel differential pressure on each carburetor.
Install a pressure gauge on the fuel supply line.
Install a pressure gauge on the water line which flows to the driveline. Also install a pressure gauge on the water line which flows from the driveline.
Install the exhaust analyzer.
Check the program's settings on the status control module.

( 1 ) | In order to set the high limit on the speed range control to the limit's maximum, rotate the range control counterclockwise until the control takes control of speed. Adjust the control to the desired speed. |
( 2 ) | While the engine is operating in the maintenance option and the speed control at the rated speed, decrease the high limit until the limit takes control of the engine speed. Advance the limit until the engine runs at the desired speed. |
( 3 ) | Rotate the low limit counterclockwise to the stop. The low limit should then be rotated two turns in the clockwise direction. |
Check the timing and set the timing according to the appropriate Technical Data Book.
Initial Start
Set the engine control switch to maintenance. Start the engine. Run the engine at low idle. Walk around the engine in order to determine if there are any leaks. Switch the speed control switch to the high idle position. Allow the engine to run at high idle for a few minutes.
Take note of the fuel pressure while the engine is at low idle, at high idle, and at the stopped position.
Monitor the coolant temperatures while the engine is operating.
Monitor the heat exchanger's inlet pressure and the heat exchanger's outlet pressure.
Monitor the engine oil pressure.
Shut down the engine with the engine control switch.
Operational Check
With the engine control switch in the AUTO position, start the engine with the York panel.
Check the air/fuel ratio and set the air/fuel ratio as near full load as possible. Refer to the appropriate Technical Data Book for the specifications.
Monitor the pressures and the temperatures.
Verify that the safety devices will produce alarms and shutdowns while the engine is under load.
