4. Installation

Upon receiving the unit, inspect to ensure that all required parts are included and to inspect for any possible damage. Take care to avoid any sharp movements during the unloading and moving of the unit. Do not push or pull it by any other means than its base.

4.1 Location of Install & Minimum Clearances

Because the unit is air-cooled they must be installed outdoors in an area with sufficient clearance to provide free air circulation through the condenser coil. Restriction of free air circulation will reduce the air flow, decrease the cooling capacity, increase the power input and in certain case, prevent the unit from operating by excess condensation pressure.
It is prohibited to connect the helicoid fan units to duct networks because of the pressure drops created by such networks. In the event that the unit is located in an area exposed to high wind, avoid the wind striking the fan surfaces directly. The arrows show the direction of air circulation through the unit.

After installation, all sides of the unit must be accessible for regular maintenance operations. Removal of Panel 1 provides access to the electrical junction box, the compressor and the cooling circuit.
Note: Panel 1 is removable independently of the other panels and enables the unit to be run maintaining its normal operating characteristics. To disengage the panel after removal, extract the controller and its support bracket.
When choosing an installation location for the unit, take care to leave sufficient free space all around it for carrying out maintenance. The minimum free distances are shown and must be adhered to, both for ensuring correction operation and for providing access.
Note: The grill is intended to protect operators from risks of injury from the exchanger during handling and installation.
In regions that are cold, mountainous or exposed to the elements there can be a risk of the grill clogging with frost or ice. In this case a shelter should be provided for the unit or the protective grill can be removed.

4.2  Plumbing Component

In choosing and installing water pipes, ensure local safety rules and precautions are followed.
Recommendations: The pipe circuit must be designed with minimal bends and changes in height in order to guarantee the best performance.
The pipe network must include:

1. A device to eliminate vibrations (e.g. connecting hoses) on all pipes connected to the unit in order to reduce vibration and noise transmission to the building.
2. Stop cocks to isolate the hydraulic circuit during
3. Automatic or manual bleed valves at the highest points on the chilled water
4. An adequate system to maintain water pressure in the circuit (expansion tank or pressure regulating valve).
5. Thermometers and pressure gauges installed on the exchanger inlet and outlet. They will facilitate regular checks and
6. To avoid any risk of foreign bodies entering the system and to maintain optimum performance, it is strongly advised to install the water filter accessory on the machine’s

WARNING: The evaporator is equipped with a heating mattress (automatically controlled by the main controller) to prevent any ice intake during periods of low outside temperature. When the unit is not running in the winter, it is necessary to leave the power supply connected for this protection system to function.

The water filter/stop cock assembly is to be connected to the machine inlet, taking care to keep the water filter mesh towards the bottom.

4.2.1  Connection of the Chilled Water Loop

Check before connecting the unit that the installation is leak free and clean. Install manually controlled isolating valves (not provided) with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the main pipework on the Water Inlet and Outlet connection of the unit without needing to drain the installation.

It is also recommended to install valves of the water supply lines and on the return of each terminal treatment unit, so to allow work on each appliance without affecting other parts of the installation. These valves allow also to adjust the flow arriving at each terminal unit.

It is important to verify that the pressure in the water supply network is adequate to fill the installation.

4.2.2  Drainage

Units are equipped with couplings to fill and drain the hydraulic circuit according to standards in force. The water should come from a distribution network, either to the unit directly, or to any other point on the circuit linking the terminal units together.

4.2.3  Terminal Insulation

In order to correctly keep power consumption low and to comply with standards in force, all chilled water pipes must be insulated.

For appropriate insulation with a conductivity of 0,04 W/m°K a radial thickness of 25 to 30mm is required.

4.2.4  Starting Operation

• When the installation is finished, the water circuit should be filled until the service pressure is reached (this should not exceed 5bar).
• Check that the air purge valves are
• Air in the circuit should be completely expelled for proper
• Once the hydraulic circuit is correctly filled, the filling valve should be closed.

WARNING: It is not the manufacturer’s policy to issue recommendations relating to water treatment. The user or the owner is responsible for contacting a specialised water treatment enterprise. Water treatment is a very critical subject and special consideration should be given to ensure it is is properly carried out to avoid problems linking to fluid circulation. A clogged hydraulic circuit will systematically
lead to premature wear in the machine’s components.
Take care not to damage the hydraulic connections by over-tightening. A second wrench is required to compensate for tightening torque. The use of a counter wrench is necessary for tightening the valves.

4.2.5  Safety Differential Pressostat

A safety differentiazl pressostat is fitted as standard on the water inlet pipe into the evaporator in order to ensure adequate water flow to the evaporator before starting the unit.
It acts both in the event of partial blockage (starting to take in ice) and in the event of a drop in water flow due to pump failure. This is the machine’s main protection device.

4.2.6  Hydraulic Module

The hydraulic module requires no special maintenance. Fitting a mesh filter (accessory) on the unit inlet is strongly advised (see 4.2 Plumbing Component – Bullet Point 6).
Comment: Ensure that all of the various components are protected against freezing caused by the outside temperature. In the event of any accidental power failure, ensure that account is taken of ice protection requirements.
WARNING: In all air conditioning installations with chilled water distribution, the entire network must be dimensioned to provide a volume of 15 litres per kW of installed capacity.

4.3  Electrical Component

Before starting any electrical connection, check that the electrical supply corresponds to the specification indicated on the unit’s maker’s plate and to the unit’s electrical characteristics table.
Important: It is the responsibility of the installer to provide circuit breaker protection, corresponding to the machine’s capacity (refer to the unit electrical characteristics table), near to the machine.
Connection to the electrical network must comply with current electrical standards.
To carry out the electrical connection:

• Open the inspection panel which allows access to the junction
• To remove the inspection panel, extract the controller from its support
• Thread the power supply cable through the cable guide provided on the

WARNING: On site wiring must be carried out in accordance with the wiring diagram affixed to the unit’s junction box.
The power cables for general power supply to the unit must have a copper core and be dimensioned in accordance with current IEC standards.
The unit must be earthed via a terminal block provided inside the junction box.
The supply voltage must not vary by more than 10%. Imbalance between the phases must not be greater than 3%. All the connections are made on screw terminals. The wires should be stripped back 10mm.

8. Maintenance

simplicity of the cooling circuit isolates it from any problem that might occur during operation.
Thus, no work on the cooling circuit is required providing that the unit operates satisfactorily. However, it is advisable to carry out a certain number of preventive operations in order to maintain the unit in optimum working order. These operations essentially consist of standard checks (checking operating temperature settings, checking voltages and currents, checking water flow and temperatures, etc…) and should be carried out every 6 months and after the unit has been out of service for prolonged period (during the winter).

PREPARATION FOR SHUTTING DOWN THE UNIT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD

The following recommendations should be taken into consideration: After stopping the compressor, stop the circulation pump. If the installation does not contain glycol, the evaporator and the chilled water pipes need to be carefully and completely drained of water.

FAN BEARINGS

The fan bearings are of the ‘greased for life’ type. These bearings require no greasing. However, check every 6 months that there is no abnormal wear on these moving parts.

ELECTRICAL TERMINALS

Check the screw terminal block every 6 months.

CONDENSER COILS

The condenser coils do not require any special maintenance except when they are clogged by paper or any other foreign bodies. In corrosive atmospheres, provide for suitable protection. To clean, wash with detergent and water at low pressure, and then rinse with clean water.

EVAPORATOR

The direct expansion evaporator comprises a tube in tube exchanger. These evaporators require no specific maintenance, but a mesh filter (mesh < 1 mm) must be fitted on the evaporator chilled water inlet in order to prevent the ingress of impurities which could clog the evaporator.

EXPANSION

The capillary expansion device requires no specific maintenance.

PUMP

The pump requires no specific maintenance.
