2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 Heosbox description

The Heosbox series units are water-cooled condensing units for medium (MT) and low (LT) temperature commercial refrigeration applications, designed and manufactured in compliance with specific current European and international product standards. Heosbox can be coupled to a wide range of refrigerated showcases and cold rooms. The modular solution offers considerable benefits in terms of simple installation, handling, maintenance and interchangeability. Heosbox is a partly-completed machine and as such must be appropriately connected to a system fitted with an evaporator. The unit therefore essentially comprises: a partial refrigerant circuit and an electrical panel with power distribution and control systems. Being a partly-completed unit, Heosbox is supplied without refrigerant, however pre-charged with nitrogen for safe storage.

Heosbox must be installed in the evaporator system and charged with refrigerant in compliance with the regulations in force, otherwise the warranty will be void.

Heosbox is specifically designed to be used with medium and low temperature showcases with air-cooled evaporator coils and connected to water loop condensation heat transfer systems. The unit can efficiently control the temperature inside the refrigerated showcase through the integrated sophisticated modulating controller and connection to the external water loop. The equipment and instruments for managing the condensation heat transfer water system are not supplied with Heosbox.

The control software is described in the HEOS manual, Carel part number "+0300078EN".

2.2 Heosbox unit configurations

The Heosbox series units differ in terms of type of application, as shown in Tab. 2.a.

Design Conformity Applications available

North America (NAM)UL 1995/2015Single Evaporator, Medium and Low Temperature (SE-MT/LT)Multi-Evaporator, Medium Temperature (ME-MT)Multi-Evaporator, Low Temperature (ME-LT)

Tab. 2.a

There are three applications available and these differ according to the number of evaporators that the unit must serve (up to five showcases in multi-evaporator configuration) and the expected control temperature (medium or low temperature showcases), as shown below in tab. 2.b.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Heosbox unit configurations - 1

Caution: the default SW configuration of the multi-evaporator operates a simultaneous defrost on all evaporators only when the compressor stops (parameter d2 = 1 , start and end). This condition is present with the specific electrical panel construction of Heosbox that is the simultaneous activation of the compressor and defrost heaters. Modification of default value of the d2 parameter can cause a system during the defrost operation.

Notice:

(1) When calculating the maximum current draw, it is assumed that the defrost heaters and compressor never operate simultaneously as expected by the construction of the electrical panel. Therefore, this value includes the Heos high efficiency showcase controller and all of the control signals of the auxiliary loads (see paragraph 2.7). Pay special care with the multi-evaporator configuration (see page 7).

(2) The nominal conditions refer to AHRI Standard 540:

  • MT Tevap=-6.5°C (20.3°F)
  • Tcond=43.5°C (110.3°F)
  • LT Tevap=-31.5°C (-24.7°F)
  • Tcond=40.5°C (104.9°F)
    • superheat=10K

3. HANDLING

3.1 Opening the packaging

  • Check that the unit is intact upon delivery and notify the carrier immediately, in writing, of any damage that may be due to improper or negligent transport;
  • move the unit to the place of installation before removing it from the packaging, lifting the package with the wooden pallet. Use lifting equipment, avoid handling the load manually. Residual risk of the unit falling during installation if an improper hoisting device/accessory is used;
  • position the unit near the place where it is to be installed (still packaged on the pallet);
  • remove the packaging, open the cardboard box and remove the screws fixing it to the pallet.

It is recommended to store the packaging (cardboard box, pallets and bolts) in a dry environment so that they can be reused.

3.2 Positioning the unit

The unit must be firmly anchored to the system it is part of using the "L" shaped anchoring sections on the sides of the structure.

The unit must be positioned so as to allow the following operations:

  • opening and removal of the front panels on the refrigerant compartment and electrical compartment;
  • accessibility to the internal parts for checks and maintenance (observe the clearances);
  • connection of the refrigerant supply lines;
  • connection of the water supply lines;
    • power and control electrical connections;
    • temperature probe and optional kit connections;
  • communication serial line connections.

The unit must be positioned in the immediate vicinity of the single showcase served (single evaporator unit) or in a favourable position for correct distribution of the refrigerant to the entire group of showcases (Multi-Evaporator unit), ensuring both the minimum length of piping between the unit and the evaporator, and oil return to the unit. To ensure correct operation of the product, it should be installed on top of the showcase on a flat surface, in a suitable position so that the weight of the unit is supported by the showcase. The showcase must be designed to support the weight of the unit when operating.

Heosbox can also be installed on the floor, observing the clearances and making sure that there is natural ventilation to the unit. Always avoid positioning/installing the unit:

  • outdoors, in a place where it is exposed to the weather;
  • in positions where the relative humidity is >80% and condensing;
  • in positions where there the temperature is >40^ (104°F) or <5^ (41°F);
  • in positions that may affect the showcase support structure or its other parts;
    • in positions where liquids may be spilled or drip;
    • in positions where accidental impact may occur;
  • in positions that can obstruct passageways/exit routes or, in general, interfere with the transit of people.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Positioning the unit - 1

Caution: the maximum distance between the unit and the showcase must not exceed 6 m. If the maximum distance is exceeded, appropriate measures must be taken, such as traps in the refrigerant connections to ensure oil return to the compressor and at the same time limit the pressure drop on the refrigerant suction line due to the part of the refrigerant circuit outside of the unit.

Positioning procedure:

  • Open the packaging. Check that the unit's panels are not damaged and keep the covers closed and secured;
  • remove the unit from the pallet only using the brackets on the structure as lifting points. Always use all four lifting brackets (pos. 2 in Fig. 3.a) to lift the unit, according to the diagram below. It is forbidden to lift the unit by hand; residual risk of the unit falling during installation if an improper hoisting device/accessory is used;
  • when lifting, keep the unit horizontally with the covers closed and secured. Residual risk of the unit falling during installation if it is lifted without the covers;
  • place the unit horizontally in its final position, avoiding knocks and making sure not to deform/damage the refrigerant and water connections;
  • firmly secure the unit using screws through the "L" sections (position 1 in Fig. 3.a) on the structure. It is forbidden to make the refrigerant, water or electrical connections without first having secured the unit in its final position. Note there is residual risk of the unit falling if installed at a height and accessed using unsuitable equipment.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Positioning procedure: - 1

Caution: the Heosbox base does not bear its own weight with the covers open and not fixed to the frame. Make sure that the box is placed on a flat surface or on an equivalent support system before opening the covers.

Tab. 4.a
(*) Notice: the water and refrigerant connections are located on the opposite side to the electrical connections, as shown in the figure: the refrigerant connections are made using pipe couplings whose diameter and thickness varies according to the size of the unit, see "Refrigerant connections".

4.1 Water connections

Refer to Figure 4.a.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Water connections - 1

Caution: before continuing, make sure the unit is powered off, and disconnect switch QS1 and the switch or disconnect device on the box power supply line in the OFF position (see the wiring diagram).

The mains power disconnect device must have a contact opening distance that allows complete disconnection in overvoltage category III conditions; It must also be incorporated into the Heosbox power supply line in accordance with national regulations.

To simplify installation and maintenance:

  • install a manual shut-off valve immediately before the water inlet to the unit (the valve is not supplied by CAREL);
    • install automatic air vent valves (not supplied by CAREL) in the piping, at the highest positions in the circuit;
  • avoid piping layouts in which water may stagnate when the system is stopped;
  • fit appropriately-sized expansion vessels to avoid water hammer from damaging the system;
  • install mechanical and/or magnetic filters to minimise the presence of impurities in the circuit.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Water connections - 2

Caution: the water connections must always be completed by ied personnel who have the qualifications and authorizations ried by local regulations, using appropriate personal protective ment (PPE), who are aware of the necessary precautions and who are to correctly and safely complete all required operations.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Water connections - 3

Caution: the SP and ST values for the water circuit connected to the box refer to the lowest SP or ST of all the components in the circuit.

The unit's water connections have 1" NPT for NAM versions; the unit should be connected to the water loop without any reductions in diameter, as such reductions may affect the unit's performance or cause malfunctions. The water circuit must be thoroughly cleaned of any processing residues (shavings, dust, etc.) before being connected to the unit. It is recommended to install an inspectable "Y" filter at the inlet to each condenser to ensure adequate protection. It is recommended to use a filter with the same diameter as the piping (1") and with a filtration capacity of at least 400 μm or finer. Regular maintenance must be performed on the inspectable filter so as to ensure correct operation of all the units connected to the water loop. The diameter of the water loop piping and the pressure head at the inlet to each individual Heosbox unit must be sized so as to ensure a water flow-rate at the condenser inlet in compliance with the nominal flow-rate stated in this document under "Technical Specifications".

All of the units have been designed to give a water-side pressure drop of about 30 kPa, so as to simplify installation in a loop with multiple units connected in parallel. By maintaining a pressure drop of 30 kPa between the condenser inlet and outlet on each unit, the water flow-rate to the condenser is certain to be approximately equal to the value required for correct operation of the unit, as declared in the "Technical Specifications". The installer is responsible for the correct construction and balancing of the water circuit. Carel Industries S.p.A. declines all liability for water loop installations that do not comply with the aforementioned instructions and in such cases does not guarantee correct operation of the unit.

4.2 Supply water specifications

The HEOS box units are designed to work with mains water mixed with ethylene glycol (antifreeze additive), with a concentration in proportion to the total volume of the water loop equal to:

  • Nominal*: 20%;
  • Minimum: 10%;
    • Maximum: 50%.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Supply water specifications - 1

Notice: (*) reference percentage for unit performance shown in the

"Technical Specifications".

Use of antifreeze additive:

  • is a necessary precaution if the water loop is served by a dry cooler and the outside temperature drops below 0°C.
    • is mandatory for systems that use chillers to cool the water loop.
  • is good practice to prevent corrosion and ensure constant water circuit performance over time.
  • inhibited propylene glycol with a minimum concentration of 10% and a maximum of 52% by volume can be used. As propylene and ethylene glycol have different thermal properties, performance of the Heosbox unit may differ from the values shown in the "Technical Specifications".

Carel Heosbox HFC - Supply water specifications - 2

Caution: read the safety and technical data sheet for the antifreeze

additive before handling the fluid and adding it to the water circuit.

4.3 Refrigerant connections

Refer to Figure 4.a.

Carel Heosbox HFC - Refrigerant connections - 1

Caution: before continuing, make sure the unit is powered off,

placing disconnect switch QS1 and the switch or disconnect device on the Heosbox power supply line in the OFF position (see the wiring diagram).

The mains power disconnect device must have a contact opening distance that allows complete disconnection in overvoltage category III conditions; it must also be incorporated into the Heosbox power supply line in accordance with national regulations. The refrigerant connections supplied are stubs of bare copper pipes with variable diameter and thickness, depending on the size of the unit. It is good practice to use copper pipes of the same type and with the same diameter as those coming out of the unit, avoiding differences in diameter of more than one size.

The unit must be connected to the evaporator section via refrigerant piping in a workmanlike manner, by qualified operators using brazing. The piping must be securely fixed and not transmit vibrations to the Heosbox unit.

Connection procedure

  1. Wear all personal protective equipment needed to complete the connection procedure: gloves, protective glasses and safety shoes.
  2. Make sure the unit is powered off, placing disconnect switch QS1 and the switch or disconnect device on the Heosbox power supply line in the OFF position (see the wiring diagram).
  3. Make sure that the unit is firmly anchored to the system it is part of, using all of the "L" brackets at the base of the structure.
  4. Open the refrigerant circuit cover panel.
  5. With the valves closed, connect Heosbox to the unit's refrigerant circuit; before opening the valves, check the pressure in the circuit, which must be around 1 bar; open the valves slowly and then carry out leak testing, empty the circuit and charge with refrigerant.
  6. Expel the inert gas (nitrogen) from inside the unit. Use the pressure ports (pos. 39, 40 and 48) arranged on the suction side, on the discharge side and on the liquid line. Take care to avoid any danger of materials and/or fluids being expelled outside of the unit.
  7. Fully open the liquid injection valve (pos. 24) and, where present, the expansion valve (pos. 26, single evaporator unit only). The unit is already supplied with the electronic expansion valves fully open; to check the position use the CAREL manual actuator, P/N E2VMAG0000.
  8. Remove the two plugs on the refrigerant inlet and outlet pipes.
  9. Cover the structure with a metal screen so as to not damage the paint.
  10. Cover the refrigerant shut-off valves with a wet rag (pos. 31 and 32) to avoid overheating that would damage them.
  11. Connect the two refrigerant pipes, inlet (pos. 34) and outlet (position 35) to the rest of the refrigerant circuit by braze welding.
  12. Open the two shut-off valves located near the refrigerant inlet and outlet pipes (pos. 31 - 32).
  13. After brazing the refrigerant circuit, charge the circuit with nitrogen to a maximum pressure of 20 barg (290 psi) and check that there are no leaks by measuring the pressure with a pressure gauge or other suitable instruments.

The Heosbox unit cannot be connected to the evaporating system using any other type of connection from that specified, otherwise the warranty will be void.

4.6 Refrigerant charging procedure

Use only R448A or R449A certified refrigerant to charge the Heosbox unit. The following points should be considered general indications for correctly charging refrigerant into the unit, and are not technical specifications. The expansion valves must be correctly sized in order to complete the charging operation successfully. CAREL Industries S.p.A. may in this case, based on specific agreements, act as a consultant for the design/installation/commissioning/use of the unit, however in no case does it accept liability for the correct operation of the unit and the overall system if the warnings or suggestions provided in this manual or in other product technical documents are not heeded. In order to charge the unit (as described in the steps listed below), switch on and read the controller's display, so as to monitor some operating variables that are useful in the refrigerant charge process (such as superheat). To read and use the Carel "Heos" controller, see the manual (+0300078EN).

The recommended sequence is as follows:

  1. Electrically disconnect Heos Box using the on/off switch on the unit and the disconnect device upstream of the unit's power supply line. Then remove the refrigerant circuit cover panel.

  2. Make sure that all of the valves (24), (26), (31), (32) in Fig. 2.e are completely open.

  3. Using a vacuum pump, bring the system to a pressure of less than 0.25 mbars (187 mHG), medium vacuum. The time the circuit is kept in a vacuum must be evaluated on site, according to the volume of the circuit and in any case must not be less than 60 minutes.

  4. Prepare a system to weight the amount of refrigerant charged into the unit, and write the value on the rating label affixed in this document and to the Heosbox structure.

  5. Charge the unit with a refrigerant pre-charge (e.g. 2 kg (4.4 lbs)) in order to activate the control system and switch on the compressor.

  6. Check that the valve stators (24), (26) (see Fig. 2.e) are correctly installed.

  7. Power on Heos Box using the on/off switch on the unit and the disconnect device upstream of the unit's power supply line.

  8. Set the Heosbox unit to OFF (screen Aa01 on the controller).

  9. Adjust the condensing temperature to the lowest possible value (lowest possible water inlet temperature with nominal flow) (screen M04 on the controller).

  10. Set the Heosbox unit to ON (screen AA01 on the controller) and make sure that the compressor is close to maximum speed, at the same time making sure that the unit works within the operating range stated under "Transport and operating conditions" above (main screen M01, and screens M04 and M08 on the controller).

  11. Make sure that the compressor remains running at the maximum allowed speed for a few minutes (air control temperature close to the set point; for a Multi-Evaporator configuration, the air control temperature must be close to the set point on each unit) (main screen M01 on the controller)

  12. If the superheat is greater than the set point (SH > SHset) and the expansion valve/valves are fully open (EEV%=100%), add refrigerant (e.g. 100/200 g) (for a Multi-Evaporator configuration, the superheat on each evaporator must be monitored as described here) (screen M08 on the controller. To check the superheat set point, see the Carel Heos manual, as described previously)

  13. Wait a few minutes to let the system stabilize.

  14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 until SH=SHset and EEV%<90% (for multi evaporator configurations this must be checked on each unit)

  15. Check the refrigerant temperature in the section of piping leaving the condenser and make sure that subcooling is between 0 and 5K (0<SBC<5K) (screen M05 on the controller)

  16. Carefully check for leaks using suitable instruments, after having performed the refrigerant charge.

If the system is in good working order, no bubbles are evident in the flow indicator (33) on the unit. Always make sure that the colour of the sensitive ring inside the moisture indicator (33) is actually green (no moisture present).

Low condensing temperature and high compressor speed are set so as to obtain the highest refrigerant flow and the lowest possible pressure differential across the expansion valve/valves. The valve's capacity to control superheat in these conditions will guarantee correct control even in other normal unit operating conditions.

Caution: the refrigerant charge must always be completed by qualified personnel who have the qualifications and authorizations required by local regulations, who are aware of the necessary precautions, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and who are able to correctly and safely complete all required operations.

Residual risk of pressurized parts yielding if the installer does not follow the refrigerant gas charge instructions.

4.7 Refrigerant recovery procedure

The following points should be considered general indications for correctly recovering refrigerant from the unit, and are not technical specifications. The recommended sequence is as follows:

Switch Heos Box off.

  1. Electrically disconnect Heos Box using the on/off switch on the unit and the disconnect device upstream of the unit's power supply line. Then remove the refrigerant circuit cover panel.

  2. Maintain the flow of water and glycol at the condenser inlet.

  3. Make sure the refrigerant inlet/outlet valves on the unit are closed.

  4. Check the position of the stators on the electronic expansion valves (if present in the box) and liquid injection valves respectively. Disconnect the stators on the valves and open the valves using a suitable magnet in the kit supplied by Carel (P/N E2VMAG0000).

  5. Retrieve the refrigerant contained in the circuit through the ports on in the liquid, suction and discharge lines. Weigh the amount of refrigerant retrieved so to subsequently recharge the unit with the same amount of refrigerant.

In the event of brazing or cutting operations on the refrigerant circuit (e.g. to replace a component), it is recommended to completely discharge all of the R448A or R449A refrigerant contained in the Heosbox unit.

4.8 Commissioning checklist

For correct installation and commissioning of the unit, the recommended steps are as follows:

  1. Make sure that the "Water Connections" have been carried out as described in paragraph 4.1.

  2. Make sure that the "Refrigerant Connections" have been carried out as described in paragraph 4.3.

  3. Make sure that the "Electrical Connections" have been carried out as described in paragraph 4.4.

  4. Make sure that there is at least one display kit available (PGD terminal, P/N PGDEH00FZ0)

  5. Make sure that the condenser cooling system (water loop) is correctly installed and operational.

  6. Make sure there is the correct water flow through the water connections on the unit;

  7. Connect the PGD terminal to position 13 in Fig. 2.h, or Fig. 2.g (for NAM versions).

  8. If connecting a PLD terminal, make sure that dipswitch 1 on the controller is in the ON position (default), as described in the Carel Heos manual (±0300078EN). For Multi-Evaporator systems, each controller can have its own PLD terminal.

  9. For Multi-Evaporator configurations only:

a.: Check correct connection of the stators on all expansion valves (Main and Secondary), as shown in paragraph 6, on the Multi-Evaporator units. b.: Check correct connection of the RS485 serial line between the Main and Secondary controllers.

  1. Only when using a multi-evaporator system, make sure that: a: Each secondary unit has the correct address set in the pLAN network (controller screen Ea03). This setting must be done with the pLAN RS485 serial between the units disconnected. When finished, reconnect it b.: The number of evaporators is set on the Main unit (contr. screen Eb03) c.: On each Main and Secondary unit in the same multi-evaporator network, make sure to set the capacity of the evaporator that each controller refers to (screen Eb04).

  2. Make sure that the amount of refrigerant charge complies with the specifications in paragraph 4.6.

  3. Make sure the unit parameters have been set correctly, as shown in the instructions in the Carel Heos manual (+0300078EN).

  4. If installing a supervisory system, see Chap. 7.

5. MAINTENANCE

Heosbox is a product that requires minimal maintenance. Always comply with the minimum clearances described in "DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS" so as to be able to carry out routine maintenance operations safely.

The only maintenance operations to be carried out are the following:

Monthly maintenance:

- visually inspect the outside of the box. Make sure there are no water spills or dripping due to condensation;

Quarterly maintenance:

  • keep the area around the box clean and uncluttered, making sure there is sufficient air change and enough free space in front of the two ventilation grilles for air intake and exhaust (pos. 3 and 4);
  • remove any built-up dust or debris from the two air grilles that may affect the flow of air inside the box;
  • leakage of refrigerant and/or lubricant fluid (stains or drops on the piping, on the piping insulation or the structure);
    • water spills or dripping due to condensation;
  • build-up of dust or debris inside the electrical panel and/or refrigeration compartment;
  • traces of moisture dissolved in the refrigerant, by observing the colour of the liquid/moisture indicator (pos. 33) installed in the refrigeration compartment;
  • clean and, if appropriate, replace the water filter installed in the water line outside of the unit.

Six-monthly maintenance:

- visually inspect the inside of the box. It is forbidden to remove the outer protection panels without first disconnecting the unit from the power supply, moving disconnect switch QS1 to OFF (see the wiring diagram). Temporarily remove the protective panels on the refrigeration compartment and the electrical panel, and make sure the following are absent.
