WARNING

1. Disconnect the curtain power supply before connecting the water system.
2. The connection should be made without stress. It is recommended to use flexible ducts supplying the heating medium.
3. Water supply should be connected to the connector marked with the symbol ↑ IN.
4. The installation with the heating medium must be protected against the increase of the heating medium pressure above the permissible value (1.6 MPa).
5. Before starting the device, check the correct connection of the heating medium and the system for leaks.
6. During assembly of the installation it is absolutely necessary to immobilize the exchanger’s connector pipes (PIC. 9.3).
7. After filling the system with heating medium, check the tightness of the hydraulic connections, including the built-in vent.

ADVICE

1. It is recommended to use bleeding/air release valves at the highest point of the installation.
2. In the event that the water from the device is drained for a longer period of time, the exchanger tubes should be blown and dried with compressed air.
3. Installation should be carried out in such a way that in the event of a failure it is possible to dismantle the device (use of flexible hoses is recommended). For this purpose, use shut off valves next to the device.

PARAMETERS OF THE HEATING MEDIUM

The water heat exchanger can be supplied with water or glycol solutions up to 60% . The heat exchanger tubes are made of copper. The heating medium should not cause corrosion of this material. In particular, the parameters as below should be provided.

OPERATION

WARNING

1. The device must be periodically checked. These activities should be performed ONLY by qualified personnel. If the device malfunctions, turn it OFF immediately and contact FLOWAIR SERVICE SUPPORT.
2. Do not attempt to repair, move, modify, or reinstall the device yourself. Performing these activities by unauthorized personnel may result in electric shock or fire.
3. Do not use a damaged device. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages resulting from the use of a damaged device.
4. The device is intended for indoor use at temperatures above 0°C. At temperatures below 0°C there is a risk of freezing of the medium.
5. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to the heat exchanger resulting from the freezing of the medium in the heat exchanger.

ADVICE

1. In the case of water supplied air curtains, when the water from the device is drained for a longer period of time, the exchanger tubes should be blown with compressed air.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Periodically check (at least twice a year) the dirtiness level of the heat exchanger. Clogging a part of the air intake causes a decrease in the heating power of the device and adversely affects the operation of the fan.

Cleaning the exchanger should be carried out in accordance with the following guidelines:

ADVICE

• The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.
• Open the service flap.
• When cleaning the exchanger, be careful not to bend the aluminum fins.
• It is not recommended to use sharp objects for cleaning, due to the possibility of damage to the lamellas.
• Cleaning with compressed air is recommended.
• The exchanger cannot be cleaned with water!
• Cleaning should be carried out along the slats, with the blowing nozzle perpendicular to exchanger.

CONFORMITY WITH WEEE DIRECTIVE 2012/19/UE

Running a business without harming the environment and observing the rules of proper handling of waste electrical and electronic equipment is a priority for FLOWAIR.
