Quality System for facility
Description:
Compcooler Indoor Refrigeration Chiller Unit (IRCU) was designed for indoor cooling applications, powered by a connected 110V or 220V wall inlet plug. IRCU uses an AC compressor refrigeration system to cool the liquid, a pump circulates the cold liquid to cooling vest and continuously flows around the body, it will keep the user’s body temperature at a comfortable range against heat stress. IRCU delivers a 400W cooling capacity. Users can set up the temperature from -5℃ to 30℃ (23℉ to 86 ℉), mainboard will control the ON/OFF operation of refrigeration once the circulation liquid reaches to the setpoint temperature. User may pre-cool the unit and get the lowest temperature as he needs, iceless cooling unit, maintain free, quiet operation. This model is good for indoor body cooling by connecting with a cooling garment or cooling pad.

Dimension of Chiller Unit
Preparation
Chiller Unit Installation:
The unit could be installed on a flat surface, make sure it is a well-
ventilated area, with no blocks for fresh air inlet and outlet.
Power Connection
One power cord was provided with a chiller, the user may connect it with a
wall inlet plug of 110V or 220V.
Please make sure the unit voltage is before the operation!
Cooling Garment Connection
Users may connect the chiller with Compcooler Cooling Vest or Cooling pad by
quick-release fittings. One extension tubing was provided with a chiller.
The Chiller unit is compatible with all Compcooler garments, if you want to try another brand garment, please remove the quick fitting from the extension hose and replace the new fittings with compatible with another cooling garment.
Circulation Liquid
The user needs to fill the circulation liquid twice.
The first time, remove the filler cap from the top side, add liquid to the
full-funnel, connect the cooling garment, turn on the pump, and circulates the
liquid from the reservoir to the cooling garment.
The second time, keep running and allow the liquid cooling garment to fill
with water for 30-60 seconds (without cooling), refill again to full (maybe a
couple of times, be patient), then tight the filler cap.
Clean or distilled water is fine if ambient more than 1℃
Deionized water for isolation request.
Anti-freeze liquid for ambient below 0℃.
DO NOT use salt water, caustic, corrosive, or flammable fluids!
Refrigeration or Pre-cool Testing
Users may turn on the system and start refrigeration, with no pump
circulation, and the temperature will down in minutes. The cooling unit will
be in standby mode once the liquid temperature reaches to setting point.
Operation Processes
-
Garment or Pad connection: Connect the extension tubing with the liquid heating unit. Connect the liquid cooling garment or pad at the other end.
Once you hear a click, it’s in position.
-
Power connection: turn on the power switch and light the front panel.
The cooling unit will be in standby mode. -
Start cooling: the user may press ON/OFF to start the chiller, liquid temperature will go down to a set point in minutes. the pump is not working at this time.
-
Temp setting: the user may press up and down to set up the temp for circulation liquid as needed.
-
Start circulation:
Users may press the pump to start or stop circulation. Please make sure the tubing is connected (no kinks) before circulation.
Clean and Maintenance
Chiller Unit:
Unplug the power, and use a clean damp cloth to clean the outside of the
chiller unit.
Use compressed air to remove dust and debris.
Reservoir cleaning
Please disconnect the extension tubing from the chiller unit.
Empty the remaining water or liquid from the drain cap on the bottom, and open
it for drying.
Condenser clean
To keep the system at optimum cooling capacity, the condenser should be kept
free of dust and dirt, the user may check and clean it if necessary.
Open the side panel and remove the fans, use 50-100psi compressed air to clean
the contamination.
Charging Refrigerant
(not recommended for the uncertified operators)
If cooling capacity was decreased because of lack of refrigerant, the user may
vacuum the unit and recharge 2000g R134a refrigerant.
Liquid Heating & Cooling Pad or garment:
Machine wash, wash liquid heating and cooling pad using a front-loading wash
machine with cold water on a gentle/delicate cycle, and secure the connection
tubes to minimize the risk of it flailing in the spin cycle and damaging
connector and tubing sewing.
Note: DO NOT BLEACH, NO IRON, NO DRYER, TUMBLE DRY ON LOW
Chiller Unit Storage:
- Turn off the chiller unit, and disconnect the power cord.
- Disconnect the extension tubing.
- Empty the circulation water from the chiller unit by opening the bottom drain cap, then clean and disinfect the reservoir, then tighten the cap after opening the dry.
- Pack the unit for storage.
Restart: after long-term storage, please fill in clean water with a less
degerming agent, and run the system over 10 minutes with a cooling vest
connection. Then empty the system and re-fill in the liquid as needed.
Troubleshoot and Fault Code
| Item | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | E1 | Wrong Polarity or reverse connection from the power input |
| 2 | E2 | Low voltage protection, less than 18V |
| 3 | E3 | High voltage protection, more than 32V |
| 4 | P1 | No liquid temp signal from the sensor |
Cautions:
- Please confirm the chiller voltage is 110V or 220V before connecting the power.
- Please do not turn ON/OFF to run to stops system frequently within a short period, it may affect the refrigeration system, and significantly enhance power consumption.
- Please do not block the air inlet and outlet, it may cause the problem of compressor overheating or less cooling capacity.
- Please make sure cooling garments or vests be connected before starting pump circulation, it may cause unit leaks because of pump pressure.
- Please use anti-freeze liquid if the temperature setting is lower than 0℃
- Please do not run the system close to fire or underwater.
- Max operation temp is 45℃, unit could be overheated protection in hot ambient.
- Please stop operation and disconnect the power if high vibration or abnormal noise.
