Refrigerant circuit. It is contained inside a compartment separated from the air flow to simplify maintenance and control operations.

The hermetic scroll compressor (1) is mounted on damper supports and is protected against overtemperatures and overcurrents. It is equipped with an electrical heater, that is activated when the compressor turns off, to keep the compressor crankcase oil temperature high enough to prevent migration of the refrigerant during winter stops and to evaporate any liquid present in the crankcase, in order to prevent possible liquid rushes on starting (only heat pump units, accessory for cooling only units).

The plant side heat exchanger (2) is a brazed stainless steel plate heat exchanger, properly insulated to avoid condensate generation and to minimize thermal losses, and protected by a differential pressure switch that detects whatever water flow lack. It is moreover protected against freeze danger by an antifreeze electrical heater.

The source side heat exchanger (3) is a finned coil realized with grooved copper pipes and aluminium fins with notched profile to increase the heat exchange coefficient. A tray is obtained in the basement to collect the condensate generated in heating mode.

The expansion device (4), a thermostatic expansion valve with external equalizer, allows the unit to adjust itself to the different operating conditions keeping steady the set superheating.

The refrigerant circuit of each unit contains moreover solid core hermetic filter dryer (5) to restrain impurity and moisture

residuals that could be present in the circuit, high and low pressure switches in order to assure the compressor to operate inside the permitted limits, 4 way reverse cycle valve (6) to allow operating mode change reversing the refrigerant flow (only heat pump models), liquid receiver (7) to compensate the different refrigerant charge required in heating and in cooling mode (only heat pump models) and pressure connections SAE 5/16" - UNF 1/2" - 20 equipped with pin, gasket and blind nut, as required for the use of R410A refrigerant (they allow the complete check of the refrigerant circuit: compressor inlet pressure, compressor outlet pressure and thermostatic expansion valve upstream pressure).

The axial fans (8) are contained in a sheet nozzle and are equipped with a safety grille. The fans rotational speed can be modulated continuously by an inverter (option) to control the condensation pressure (in cooling) and the evaporation pressure (in heating) in order to extend the operating limits of the unit and to reduce noise emissions.

Hydraulic circuit. All the pipes are thermally insulated to avoid condensate generation and minimize thermal losses. The circuit can be equipped with different kind of circulation pump (option). In that case the circuit is also equipped with expansion vessel and air vents. It is also possible to integrate inside the unit a buffer tank arranged as buffer on the flow towards the plant (option). In that case the circuit is equipped not only with expansion vessel and air vents, but also with safety valve, automatic air vent and drain cock.

Electrical panel. It contains all the power, control and security components necessary to guarantee the unit to work properly. The unit is managed by a microprocessor controller to which all the electrical loads and the control devices are connected. The user interface, placed on the frontal panel, allows to view and to modify, if necessary, all the parameters of the unit.

All the units are supplied with an outdoor temperature sensor, already installed on the unit, in order to realize the climatic control.

Based on leaving water temperature of the evaporator and condensing temperature = 7irc C extract Cooling Capacity (kWf) and Compressors Power Input (kWa).

Based on type and percentage of glycol extract CCPF, CCPA, CCQA, CCDP.

Then calculate.

Pf brine = kWf x CCPF

Pass_CP_brine = kWa x CCPA

Then calculate brine flow rate:

Q_brine_evap [l/s]=CCQA x (Pf_brine [kW]*0.86/ΔT_brine)/3.6

where ΔT brine is the difference between inlet-outlet evaporator water temperature:

ΔT brine=Twin_evap_brine-Twout_evap_brine

With this brine flow rate enter in abscissa on the water pressure drop of the evaporator then you have Dp_app.

Finally you can calculate the actual pressure drop of the brine on evaporator side:

Dp_evap_brine =CCDP x Dp_app

BR and BP units must be used with a mixture of water and antifreeze fluid (eg glycol) in a percentage enough to prevent freezing of the mixture under all possible conditions, otherwise it will VOID THE WARRANTY.

RECEPTION AND POSITIONING

Receiving

Check on receiving

As soon as the unit is received verify accurately the correspondence of the load to what was ordered to make sure that all the material has been delivered. Check carefully that the load has not been damaged. In case of goods with visible damages inform promptly the haulage contractor reporting on the delivery note the phrase “Collected with reserves owing to evident damage”. Delivery ex works implies reimbursement of any damage on charge of the insurance company as established by law.

Safety instructions

Observe the safety regulations in force concerning the equipment to use for unit handling or the operating formalities to follow.

Handling

Before handling the unit, check the weight of the unit, reported both on the dataplate and on the technical documentation. Make sure the unit to be handled with care avoiding any kind of collision that could damage the operating parts of the unit.

On the packaging of the unit are reported all the instructions

necessary for a corect handling during storing and installation.

The unit is supplied on a pallet suitable for the transport. It is advisable to place protective material between the truck and the unit to avoid damages to the unit. Prevent the unit or parts of it from falling down.

Storing

The units must be stored in a dry place, repaired from sun, rain, sand or wind.

Do not stack the units.

Maximum temperature = 60 °C

Minimum temperature = -10 °C

Humidity = 90 %

Packaging removal

Remove the packaging taking care not to damage the unit.

Check for any visible damage.

Get rid of the packaging material sending them to specialized recycling centres (observe the regulations in force).

Positioning

The units are suitable for outdoor installation.

Verify that the support surface can bear the weight of the selected unit and is perfectly horizontal. In order to limit the vibrations transmitted by the unit it is possible to place, between the unit base and the support surface, a strip of hard rubber or, if a higher level of insulation is required, vibration dampers.

In any case it is not advisable to place the unit near private offices, bedrooms or zones where very low noise levels are required.

Protect the finned coil against direct sunlight and prevailing winds and do not place the unit on dark ground (for example tarred surfaces) to avoid the risk of overheating during operation.

Do not place the unit under roofs or near plants (even if the unit is only partly covered) in order not to reduce the possibility of air recirculation.

Respect the minimum operating area and verify that the installation place is not subject to flooding.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS

General rules

A mesh filter (hole <0.5mm for plates heat exchanger) must be installed on the unit's water inlet otherwise warranty is immediately forfeited. The filter performs the function of blocking any foreign matter in the system's plumbing circuit (shavings, machining debris, etc.) limiting or avoiding possible problems of fouling (that decreases the heat exchange coefficient), erosion, and clogging

The clogging and fouling of the exchanger can lead to a reduction of the water flow rate and. In the case that the exchanger works as evaporator- of the evaporation temperature: these 2 factors can cause the icing of the exchanger

The icing event leads to the bursting of the exchanger, the inlet of water into the refrigerant circuit and so the necessity of a replacement of the main components (compressors, filters, expansion valves,. Etc.) and an accurate washing of components as refrigerant pipes, coils, etc., practically the rebuilding nearly complete of the refrigerant circuit.

The filter must be maintained clean: this is so necessary to verify the cleanness after the unit installation and checking periodically the state.

Protection devices

Standard supply includes a differential pressure switch situated between the water inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger to avoid freezing if the water flow stops for any reason.

- Standard supply includes an antifreeze heater placed between the external thermal insulation and the shell of the exchanger and controlled by the main electronic controller of the unit in order to protect the evaporator full of water (but not the pipes) from the winter icing when the unit is in stand-by mode. The exchanger is protected down to an outdoor air temperature of -20ircC .

NOTE the antifreeze protection only work if the unit is electrically connected the standby period.

It is recommended to install a water paddle flow switch at the water inlet of the unit: the water paddle flow switch has to be electrically wired in series with the differential pressure switch.

It is mandatory to calibrate the trip out of the water paddle flow switch at a water flow rate value higher than the minimum water flow rate admissible for the exchanger (re. section Pressure Drop).

Tips for a successful installation

For a correct design and installation of the hydraulic plant comply the local laws governing safety matters and sound...

The following information is suggestion for a correct installation of the unit:

- Before connecting the unit to the system wash adequately the pipes using clean water, filling and emptying and cleaning the filters.

Only after that proceed connecting the unit to the system; this operation is crucial to ensure proper start-up without the need to have repeated stops to clean the filter, with the possible risk of damage to heat exchangers and other components.

- Check by qualified personnel the quality of the water or of the mixture used; avoid the presence of inorganic salts, biological load (seaweeds,

etc.) suspended solids, dissolved oxygen and the pH. Water with inadequate characteristics can cause a pressure drop increase due to a rapid fouling of the filter, energy efficiency decrease and corrosive symptom increase that can damage the unit.

- The pipes must have the least possible number of bends to minimize load losses and must be adequately supported in order to prevent the connections of the unit from being excessively stressed.

• Install on-off valves near components that need to be serviced to isolate them when maintenance work needs to be done and to allow them to be replaced without having to discharge the system.

- Before isolating the pipes and charging the system, carry out preliminary inspections to make sure that there are no leaks.

- Isolate all the chilled water pipes to prevent condensation from forming along the pipes themselves. Make sure that the material used is the steam barrier type, failing this, cover the insulation with an appropriate protection. Also make sure that the air venting valves can be accessed through the insulation.

- Do not forget to install or at least allow for the installation of pressure and temperature reading instruments on the inlet and outlet parts of the hydraulic circuit. These instruments will allow you to monitor the operation of the system.

- The circuit can be kept under pressure by means of an expansion tank and a pressure reducer. A plant filling unit can also be used in order to automatically charge the system and keep it at the desired pressure if it drops below a certain pressure value. Install manual or automatic values in the highest point of the system to eliminate air from the circuit.

Fit manual or automatic valves at the highest point in the circuit in order to vent air from the circuit.

- the water connections are Victaulic-type joints for hooking up to the unit.

The joints allow the pipes to expand due to changes in temperature and in addition the elastomer gasket and the specified play help insulate and absorb noise and vibration.

- If vibrations dampers are installed under the unit, it is recommended to use flexible couplings before and after the water circulation pump and near the unit.

• Install on the outlet of the unit a suitable valve able to regulate the water flow.

- Avoid that the weight of the connection pipes pushes on the hydraulic connections of the unit using approved supports.

Check that plant components are suitable to bear the maximum static pressure (it depends on the height of the building).

ATTENTION

For units in VP version equipped with expansion vessel is required to install a safety valve (SET = 3 bar) on the hydraulic circuit. If the unit is disconnected from the rest of the hydraulic system with shut-off valve or other equivalent device (eg during maintenance), check that the safety valve is always connected with the expansion vessel.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS

Water component for corrosion limit

To avoid corrosion problems in water exchangers make sure that the water used in the plant meets the requirements listed in the table.

pH 7.5 ÷ 9.0 -
SO4 -- < 100 ppm
HCO3-/SO4 -- >1.0
Total hardness 8.0 ÷ 15.2 °F
Cl- < 50 ppm

Fe3+< 0.5 ppm
Mn++< 0.05ppm
CO2< 50 ppm
H2S< 50ppb
Temperature< 65°C
Oxygen content< 0.1 ppm

Precautions for the Winter

The water could freeze and damage the exchanger of the unit and other parts of the system during the winter period, if the system was to remain at a standstill. This problem can be obviated in 3 different ways:

  1. Drain the system completely, taking care to drain the plate exchanger (in order to drain the unit's piping system completely, open the water drain ball valves and the air vent valves, open any valves closed).

  2. Operate with glycol water taking account, depending on the % of glycol, of the factor of correction of the refrigerating capacity, power input, water flow rate and losses of head (see table on following page)

  3. If it is certain that the unit will always be powered throughout the winter, the unit is able to protect itself from freezing, down to a temperature of -20ircC : this is possible thanks to an antifreeze electric heating element installed on the plate exchanger and intelligent control of the water pump that must be governed by the microprocessor board (see the “Electric Connections” section).

If the unit is fitted with a Storage tank, solution no. 3 requires installing the tank antifreeze heating element accessor.

Air vent and water drain

On the plumbing circuit feeding the unit, the installer must fit an appropriate number of valves (manual or automatic) at the top of the circuit in order to vent any air in the plumbing system. In the same way, he must install a water drain valve in order, when necessary, to drain the unit's plate exchanger completely (especially during the winter in order to prevent freezing that would seriously jeopardize the operation of the unit).

Maximum volume of water in the system with wet module

Before filling the water system, it is advisable to consider the type of installation in question, i.e. check the difference in level between the wet module and user. The following table gives the maximum water content of the water supply system in liters, depending on the capacity of the standard expansion vessel supplied and the pressure at which it should be charged. The expansion vessel setting must be regulated to suit the maximum positive difference in level of the user.

Maximum setting value 600 kPa.

With a positive H of more than 12.25 meters, calculate the expansion vessel precharge value in kPa using the formula below:

Expansion vessel precharge= [H/10.2+0.3] x100 = [kPa]

NOTE. In case A, make sure that the user's lowest point is able to withstand the global pressure.

Alarms

Alarm activation and reset

The controller can perform a complete diagnosis of the unit, detecting all the operating faults and reporting a set of alarms. Activation of an alarm involves :

  • locking of the loads concerned
  • reporting of the alarm code on the display (in case of simultaneous alarms the one with the lowest index is displayed whereas the complete list of active alarms can be shown by accessing the “Status \ AL” menu)
  • recording of the event in the alarms memory

Alarms that can damage the unit or the plant require a manual reset that implies an action by the operator to reset the controller (pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time). It is recommended to carefully check the cause of the alarm and make sure the problem is eliminated before restarting the unit. In any case the unit restarts only if the cause of the alarm has disappeared.

Less critical alarms are automatically reset. As soon as the cause of the alarm is eliminated the unit starts working again and the alarm code disappears from the display. Some of these alarms require a manual reset if the number of events per hour exceeds a fixed limit.

Pressing any button it's possible to deactivate the alarm : alarm report disappears from the display, the alarm LED starts flashing and the Alarm digital output is disabled. The deactivation of the alarm does not affect the alarm in progress.

Number of events per hour

For some alarms the number of events per hour is recorded: if, in the last hour, the number of events reaches a fixed limit, the alarm reset change from automatic to manual.

Sampling of alarms occurs every 112 seconds. If an alarm is activated several times in a sampling period (112 seconds) it is counted only once.

Esempio. If the fixed limit of events per hour is 3, in order to change from automatic to manual reset, tha alarm has to remain active for a period of time between 2*112 seconds and 3*112 seconds.

Alarms memory

The controller enables the recording of the alarms occurred during the unit operation (up to a maximum 99 events). The following informations are recorded for each event :

  • alarm code
  • activation time
  • activation date
  • deactivation time
  • deactivation date
  • type of alarm (automatic or manual reset)

Such informations can be shown by accessing the "Programming \ EU" menu.

When the number of events recorded is higher than 99 the following events are recorded overwriting the oldest alarms.

The alarms memory can be cancelled by means of the Eur function available inside the "Programming \FnC" menu, keeping pressed the SET button till YES appears on the display.

E-05 Low pressure – Phase presence and sequence controller - Soft starter alarm

The alarm becomes manual reset when the number of operations per hour is higher than the set value of the parameter AL01.

The alarm is bypassed for the time equal to the value defined by parameter AL02 starting from the activation of the compressor or of the reversing valve.

The alarm is disabled during defrost.

Er20 Differential pressure switch

The alarm is activated if the associated digital input remains activated for at least 2 seconds and automatically resets if the digital input remains not activated for at least 2 seconds. The alarm change to manual reset if the digital input remains activated for more than 10 seconds.

The start-up from stand-by mode of operation to cool or heat provides the by-pass of 'alarm for 30 seconds after the activation of the pump with the compressor off.

Er-68 Outdoor air probe fault

When the alarm is activated, neither climate control nor dynamic defrost are available.

E-75 Liquid pressure transducer fault

When the alarm is activated the fans work with on-off logic according to compressor request. The defrost cycle inlet and outlet are managed according to the operating time of the compressor.

CONTROL SYSTEM

Functions available for the user

Operating mode selection

It's possible to select the operating mode by accessing the "Operating mode" menu:

- Cooling COOL

- Heating HERE

- STAND BY * 5tdby

* The antifreeze function is still active.

Remote STAND BY

This function allows remote selection of the STANDBY mode. If the input is activated (open contact) the controller is in STANDBY mode and the operating mode can not be modified from the user interface.

The digital input used is DI4. Set the parameter [F\ 19 = -27] to enable this function.

Remote Cooling-Heating

This function allows remote selection of Cooling or Heating mode. If the input is activated (open contact) the unit is in heating mode. If the input is not activated (closed contact) the unit is in cooling mode. The operating mode can not be modified from the user interface (but STAND BY mode can be selected).

The digital input used is DI5. To enable this function set the parameter CF20 = 14.

Set point

The set point value in cooling (COOL) and heating (HERE) can be set by accessing the "SERAUS \ SP" menu. These values must be between a fixed maximum and minimum value. The purpose of the controller is to keep the water temperature at the unit inlet as close as possible to the set value, by activating the compressor according to an on-off logic.

Operating in heat pump mode

For all the heat pump units the parameter tr01 enables operation in heat pump mode when its value is 1. It is possible to set an outdoor air temperature value (parameter tr17) below which heat pump mode is locked (in any case the integrative electrical heaters, if present, remain activated).

Antifreeze

The plate heat exchanger is protected by the activation of an electrical antifreeze heater and the activation of the antifreeze alarm, occurring in sequence when the temperature of the water at the exchanger outlet reaches dangerous values. The buffer tank is protected by the antifreeze heater (accessory) activated together with the plate heat exchanger heater.

When the outdoor air temperature approaches 0irc C, if the unit is not working, the pump is activated in any case to prevent excessive cooling of the water in the pipes.

Integrative electrical heaters

The parameter H102 enables the electrical heaters, as integration of the heat pump, when its value is 1. The heaters are activated according to a two step logic depending on the unit inlet water temperature. When present, the heaters also carry out the storage tank antifreeze function.

Dynamic defrost

The activation limit is modified in a dynamic way according to the outdoor air temperature.

Serial communication

The device is configured to communicate on a serial line using the MODBUS protocol. When the device is connected, it must be assigned an address univocally identifying it among all the devices connected to the same serial line ("Modbus individual address"). This address must be between 1 and 247 and is configurable by means of the parameter [F63] (see section on serial communication).

Operating hours recording

The controller can record the operating hours of compressor and pump. Access the "SEREUS \Hr" menu to see the values. The hours are reset by pressing the SET button for long, while the hours of operation are displayed.

Power failure

In case of a power failure, when the power is restored the controller will return to the status before the power failure. If a defost cycle was in progress the procedure is cancelled. All safety timing in progress are cancelled and reinitialized.

Clock

The controller is equipped with an internal clock to record date and time of each alarm occurred during unit operation (see "Alarms memory"). The clock can be set by accessing the "SEAEUS \CL" menu.

Modulating pump management

Modifying the parameters PI 05 (for cooling mode) and PI I I (for heating mode). It is possible to set the rotational speed of the modulating pump in order to get the water flow rate required to maintain the desired temperature difference between the water inlet and outlet. Verify that the value set ensures a flow of water within the operating limits specified in the installation manual and use.

CONTROL SYSTEM

Serial communication

The unit can communicate on a serial line using the Modbus communication protocol with RTU coding.

The unit can be connected to an RS485 network by means of the serial interface supplied as an accessory, and reply to the requests of any master device connected to the network.

Serial line settings

The serial line must be set as follows :

- baud rate

- data bits : 8

- stop bits : 1

• parity : even

All the devices connected to the same serial line MUST use the same settings.

Device address

To communicate properly, each device connected to the serial network must have an univocal address ("Modbus individual address") contained between 1 and 247. This address can be set by modifying the parameter [F63].

Modbus commands

The Modbus commands implemented by the controller are :

• parameter reading 3 (Hex 03 : Read Holding Registers)

• parameter writing 16 (Hex 10 : Write Multiple Registers)

Addresses table

All the available resources are stored in the controller as WORD (2 byte) and therefore require the reading or writing of an entire Modbus register. According to the Modbus protocol, to identify a register of address X the address X-1 must appear in the message. Some registers contain more than one piece of information: in this case the bits representing the resource value are identified by means of the number of bits used ("Bit number") and by the least significant bit ("Lsb"). In the writing operation for these registers it is necessary to read the current register value, modify the bits representing the resource concerned and rewrite the entire register.

Example.

Bit number = 4 Lsb = 7 Resource value = 3

1 5 amp; 1 4 amp; 1 3 amp; 1 2 amp; 1 1 amp; 1 0 amp; 9 amp; 8 amp; 7 amp; 6 amp; 5 amp; 4 amp; 3 amp; 2 amp; 1 amp; 0 0 amp; 1 amp; 1 amp; 0 amp; 1 amp; 0 amp; 0 amp; 1 amp; 1 amp; 1 amp; 0 amp; 1 amp; 1 amp; 0 amp; 1 amp; 0

The resources can be only read (R), only written (W) or read and written (RW).

To interpret the value written in the register it is necessary to consider the value of CPL, EXP and UM :

CPL : if the register represents a number with sign (CPL = Y) carry out the following conversion :

0 = register value lt; 3 2 7 6 7: resource value = register value 3 2 7 6 8 = register value lt; 6 5 5 3 5: resource value = register value - 6 5 5 3 6

EXP : indicates the exponent of the power of 10 to be multiplied by the register value to obtain the resource value.

EXPMoltiplicatore
-2 10-2 0,01
-1 10-1 0,1
01001
1 101 10
2 102 100

MU : indicates the unit of measure of the resource

IMPORTANT. DO NOT modify any parameter not indicated in the table provided or indicated as a read only parameter (R), otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.

Probes characteristics

The temperature probes used are NTC 10K (10 kΩ at 25°C).

When the probe bulb is at the temperature of 25irc C the electrical resistance measurable at the probe ends is 10 k Ω .

The thermistor of these probes has a negative temperature coefficient: the electrical resistance value decreases as the temperature increases.

To find out if a temperature probe is faulty or disconnected, check the correspondence between the resistance value in kΩ and the bulb temperature in °C according to the table.

For a reliable verify it is not necessary to check all the single values but is enough to check some random values. If the instrument indicates neverending resistance then the probe is interrupted.

START UP

Start up

The following operations must be carried out only by properly trained personnel. To make the contractual warranty effective, start up must be carried out by authorized service centres.

Before calling the service centre it is advisable to make sure that all the installation steps have been completed (positioning, electrical connections, hydraulic connections).

Preliminary operation

WARNING - Before you perform the checks listed below, please read carefully the section "Safety and Maintenance"

Verify that :

  • the unit has not suffered visible damages due to transport or positioning
  • the unit is placed on an horizontal surface able to bear its weight
  • the minimum operating area are respected
  • the ambient conditions comply with the provided operating limits
  • the hydraulic and electrical connections has been carried out correctly

Electrical cheks

Verify that the unit power supply line complies with the regulations in force. Check that the section of power cables are suitable to withstand the overall absorption of the unit (see electrical data), and that the unit has been properly grounded.

Check that all electrical connections are well fixed and all terminals properly tightened.

Switch on the unit by turning the switch in position ON. The display will light a few seconds after power up, check the operating status of both Std-by or off (via keyboard). A wrong sequence of the power supply phases is immediately detected by the phase sequence controller (standard on all the three phase power supply units) and reported on the display of the unit. To eliminate the error switch each other two phases of the power supply line.

Verify that:

  • the voltage of the power supply line complies with the nominal one of the unit
  • for three phase power supply units, the unbalance between the phases is lower than 3% (a higher value produces an excessive current input on one or more phases causing possible damages to the electrical components of the unit)

NOTE. Example of phase unbalance calculation

- Read the value of the three line voltages using a voltmeter :

line voltage between phases L 1 and L2 : V- 1-2 = 390 V
line voltage between phases L 2 and L3 : V 2-3 = 397 V
line voltage between phases L 3 and L1 : V 3-1 = 395 V

- Calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum value of the measured line voltages :

ΔV = (V1-2;V2-3;V3-1) - (V1-2;V2-3;V3-1) = V2-3 - V1-2 = 397 - 390 = 7V
- Calculate the average line voltage value :

Δ_ average = (V _ 1 - 2 + V _ 2 - 3 + V _ 3 - 1) / 3 = (3 9 0 + 3 9 7 + 3 9 5) / 3 = 3 9 4 V

  • Calculate the percentage unbalance value :

ΔV _ / V _ average × 100 = 7 / 394 × 100 = 1,78 % lt; 2 %

Check that the connections made by the installer comply with the data reported here.

If present, check that the resistance of the compressors oil crankase are operating, by measuring the temperature rise of the oil crankase. The resistance / s must be in operation for at least 24 hours before starting the compressor , and in each case the temperature of the oil crankase must be 10 - 15 °C higher than the ambient temperature .

WARNING - At least 24 hours prior to the operation of the unit (or at the end of each period of prolonged pause) the unit must be powered in such a way as to allow the heating elements of the compressor crankcases to evaporate the refrigerant present in the oil. Failure to do so may cause serious damage to the compressor and will void the warranty.

Hydraulic circuit checks

Check that all hydraulic connections are executed correctly: Refer to the installation manual.

Check that the hydraulic system is filled, under pressure and air free (possibly vent it).

Make sure that any shutoff valves present in the system are properly open. Make sure that the circulation pump is running and that the water flow is sufficient to close the contact of the differential pressure and / or flow switches.

Check the correct operation of the differential pressure and / or flow

switches: close the shutoff valve at the outlet of the heat exchanger, the unit display must show the alarm message, eventually reopen the valve and reset the alarm.

Turning on

ATTENTION. The operation must be agreed in advance depending on the timing of construction of the plant. Before the intervention of Service Department all works (electrical and plumbing connections, water filling and air vent of the plant) will have been completed.

Start all the plant components necessary to guarantee an adequate water flow rate on the plant hydraulic circuit.

Activate the unit in cooling or in heating mode operating on the user interface and setting a set point suitable to require the unit to work.

Refrigerant circuit checks

The vibrations during transport, may have loose connections: check for leaks of refrigerant gas especially at the refrigerant pressure taps, pressure transducers and pressure switches.

After a short period of operation, check the oil level of the compressor (if present siight oil) and the absence of bubbles in the glass of liquid indicator (if present). The continuous passage of vapor bubbles may mean that the refrigerant charge is low or that the expansion valve is not properly adjusted. The presence of bubbles in the running for short periods, however, is possible.

Evaporation and condensation temperature

Verify that:

  • the saturation temperature (dew point) corresponding to the condensing pressure is about 10-15°C higher than the outdoor air temperature in cooling and about 5°C higher than the water outlet temperature in heating
  • the saturation temperature (dew point) corresponding to the evaporating pressure is about 5°C lower than the water outlet temperature in cooling and about 5-10°C lower than the outdoor air temperature in heating

Superheat

Check the superheat comparing the temperature measured with a contact thermostat fitted to the compressor suction pipe, with the temperature shown on the low pressure gauge (saturation temperature corresponding to the evaporation pressure). The difference between these two temperatures gives the value of the superheta. The optimal values are between 4 and 8 °C.

Subcooling

Check the subcooling comparing the temperature measured with a contact thermostat on the pipe outlet of the condenser, with the temperature shown on the pressure gauge of high pressure (saturation temperature corresponding to the condensation pressure). The difference between these two temperatures gives the value of subcooling. The optimal values are between 4 and 5ircC , for reversible units with subcooler in the coil the optimal values are between 10 and 20ircC depending on the external air temperature.

Discharge temperature

If the values of subcooling and superheat are regular, the temperature measured at the outlet of the compressor discharge pipe must be:

  • Units charged with R410A of 30/40 °C higher than the condensing temperature
  • Units charged with R134a of 15/20 °C higher than the condensing temperature.

Hydraulic circuit check

- the difference between the water inlet and outlet temperature from the plate heat exchanger of the unit is inside the limits provided.

Electrical setting check

- the current absorbed by the compresor and the fans is lower than the maximum value admitted (FLA), as indicated in the section "Technical data and performances"

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

General Rules for Maintenance

The maintenance is extremely important for the functioning of the system and the regular working of the unit over time.

In accordance with the European Regulation EC 303/2008, it should be noted that companies and engineers in maintenance, repair, leak testing and recovery / recycle refrigerant gases should be CERTIFIED in accordance with local regulations.

Maintenance must be performed in compliance with the safety rules and tips given in the manual supplied with the unit.

Routine maintenance helps maintain unit efficiency, reduce the rate of deterioration which each device is subject in time and gather information and data to understand the efficiency of the unit and prevent failures.

For extraordinary maintenance or in case you need service, contact only to a specialized service center approved by the manufacturer and use original spare parts.

In accordance with the European Regulation EC 1516/2007 it is necessary to prepare a “equipment record”.

Provide anyway a databook (not supplied) that allows you to keep track of interventions made on the unit; in this way it will be easier to properly program the various interventions and will facilitate a possible troubleshooting.

Bring on the databook : date, type of intervention made, description of the intervention , measurements , reported anomalies , alarms recorded in the alarm history , etc. ...

Routine maintenance

The inspections described below, to which the unit must be subjected, do not require specific technical know-how.

They merely include a few simple inspections involving certain parts of the unit.

The table below gives a recommended list of inspections which should be carried out at the indicated intervals.

Provide controls and interventions more frequently in case of heavy (continuous or intermittent high, close to operating limits, etc ...) or critical (essential service such as data centres, hospital etc ...) use.

DESCRIPTION WEEKLY MONTHLY EVERY SIX MONTHS
Visual inspection of the unit •
Inspection of hydraulic circuit •
Inspection of electrical system •
Inspection of condensing system •
Inspection of the water heat exchanger •
Inspection of the water filter •
Inspection of the water pumps (if present) •
Reading and adjustment of the operating parameters •

- Visual inspection of the structure of the unit

When checking the condition of the parts that form the structure of the unit, pay particular attention to the parts liable to rust.

If traces of rust are noted, they must be treated with rust-inhibitor paint in order to eliminate or reduce the problem.

Check to make sure that the external panels of the unit are well fixed.

Bad fixing gives rise to noise and abnormal vibrations.

• Inspection of hydraulic circuit

Check visually to make sure that there are no leaks in the hydraulic circuit. Check that water filters are clean.

• Inspection of electrical system

Make sure that power cables that supply the unit are not torn, cracked or damaged in a way that could impair its insulation.

- Inspection of the ventilated condensing/evaporating section

WARNING: The finned pack exchanger has fins made of aluminium or some other thin material, thus even accidental contact could cause cuts.

Condensing/Evaporating coils

In view of the function of this component, it is very important for the surface of the exchanger to be as free as possible from clogging caused by items that could reduce the fan's air flow rate and, thus, the performances of the unit itself.

The following operations may be required:

- Remove all impurities (such as paper scraps, leaves, etc.) that could be clogging the surface of the bank either by hand or using a brush (comply with the above mentioned safety prescriptions).

- If the dirt has deposited on the fins and is difficult to remove by hand, use a flow of compressed air or pressurized water on the aluminium surface of the coils, remembering to direct the flow in a vertical and opposite to the standard flow direction to prevent the fins from being damaged.

- "Comb" the coils with the relative tool, using the appropriate comb spacing for the fins if some parts of them are bent or squashed.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

Axial fans

Visually inspect these parts to make sure that the fans are well fixed to the bearing grille and that this latter is fixed to the structure of the unit. Check the fan bearings, and close the terminal box and cable glands. Bearings damaged and bad fixing are the source of abnormal noise and vibrations,

• Inspection of the water heat exchangers

The exchangers must ensure the maximum heat transfer possible so keep them clean and free from dirt that may reduce efficiency; make sure that the temperature difference between water outlet temperature and evaporation/condensation does not increase over time, if the difference exceeds 8 -10 °C it is necessary to proceed cleaning the water side of the exchanger, keeping in mind the following: water circulation must be in the opposite direction than normal, the fluid velocity does not exceed 1.5 times the nominal velocity and use just water or moderately acid products but only water for final washing.

• Inspection of the water filters

Make sure to clean the filter and remove any impurities that block the proper flow of water, contributing to increase pressure drop and therefore energy consumption of the pumps. Refer to the section “Hydraulic Connections” too.

• Inspection of the water pumps

Check water leakages, the state of the bearings, the closing of the terminal box and integrity of the cable. Bearings damaged and bad fixing are the source of abnormal noise and vibrations,

- Reading and adjustment of the operating parameters

This control can be done using the pressure gauges (if installed) of the refrigerant circuits and using the pressure and temperature gauges (if installed) of the hydraulic circuits of the unit (evaporator + heat recovery - if present)

NOTE: FOR THE PLANT WATER FILL AND DRAIN REFER TO THE SECTION HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS

CAUTION

As a result of extraordinary maintenance on the cooling circuit with component replacement, before restarting the machine, perform the following steps:

  • Pay attention to restore the refrigerant charge indicated on the name plate of the machine.
  • Open all the ball valves in the refrigerant circuit.
  • Correctly connect the power supply and grounding.
  • Check the hydraulic connections.
  • Check that the water pump is working properly.
  • Clean water filters.
  • Check that the finned coils are not dirty or clogged.
  • Check the proper rotation of fans.
