Did anyone tried this Arctica troubleshooting guide Static Test before? BTW, 60F = 15.6degC

Can share with me.. I am still troubleshooting if my chiller is functioning properly.

Mine too ~25mins instead of the stated 5mins.

THANKS if anyone can take the trouble to test his arctica. My is a 1/5HP.

Static Test

Performing a Static Test will allow the chiller to operate without any external factors such as heat

load from equipment, volume load of water capacity, or pump water flow. The main purpose of

this test is to establish that the controller, relay, fan motor, compressor, and temp probe are in

working order without being linked to the actual tank set up.

Step 1

Turn off the pump that flows through the chiller

This test only requires the small amount of water already within the heat exchanger.

Step 2

Program the controller to 60F for the set point

Press the up or down arrow and hold until the number starts to blink, then release and press the

down arrow until the temperature on the controller reads 60F and then release. It will blink and

then the temperature will show a solid color. It is now set to 60F; it will take approximately 5

minutes or less for a functioning chiller to bring the temp down to 60F due to the small amount of

water volume in the heat exchanger.

Hi, i followed your steps and the following were my observations:-

19 11 hrs : Displayed temp on the chiller was 28.9, lowered to 16.5; Chiller kicked in almost immediately

19 16 hrs : Displayed temp on the chiller was 22.2

19 21 hrs : Displayed temp on the chiller was 15.5, Chiller stopped.

by the way, chiller is about 5-6 months old

Thanks triggerfish.. so yours took 10mins..

Look like in Spore weather <5min is unachievable.. but mine still a bit too long whopping 25mins. (maybe my room too warm)

Any more brothers to confirm this observations??

BTW, what capacity is your chiller.. mine is 1/5HP

Tested it again.. within 10mins.. :whistle "Phew"

Maybe that day when i tested, the room was still warm, probably after the chiller just turn off..
