4.5 PV3E evaporation control
On the source side there is a limit on the inlet temperature of 45 ° C.
If there are applications in which it is necessary to enter with water at a higher temperature, it is necessary to adopt an evaporation control by means of a 3-Way valve following the diagram shown below.
The proposed scheme must be respected to allow the maintenance of the flow rate to the exchanger (Evaporator), it also allows the control of the inlet temperature of the evaporator by injecting cold water.
The analogue control signal comes directly from the unit control.
If the 3-way valve is not supplied, bear in mind that the control signal is only and exclusively 0-10V (IVE option).
The servomotor, therefore, must necessarily be able to be controlled by this signal.
Warning-icon.png The valve is supplied, but the installation must be carried out on site following the principle diagram shown.

COMMISSIONING

6.1 Preliminary inspections
6.1.1 Electrical
Verify that the voltage on terminals L1, L2 and L3 is that shown on the plate of the unit (tolerance allowed) ±5%, which can be checked with a tester. If voltage changes occur frequently, please contact our technical department to choose suitable protections.
Verify the complete tightness of the fuse holder caps.
Verify that the crankcase heaters (if applicable) are powered correctly: to check whether the heaters are working properly, check that the bottom of the compressor is at a temperature of 10 to 15 °C higher than the ambient temperature.
Power and check the correct direction of rotation for the three-phase version, which should be clockwise looking at the motor from the fan side. Otherwise, invert any two of the phase conductors.
6.1.2 Hydraulic
Make sure that the water circuit has been previously cleaned: it is recommended to wash the water circuit via by-passing the unit and then check the cleanliness of the system filter.
The machines are shipped with open vents and drains, which must be closed during installation when filling the water circuit. Labels indicate their positions.
In models with a hydronic kit, the water drain cap of the pump has been removed, in order to drain the water contained in it and to avoid freezing problems during the winter season. The cap is inside the envelope containing all documents of the unit.
Make sure that the hydraulic system has been bled, thereby eliminating any residual air. The operation must be performed by loading gradually and opening the venting devices set up by the installer in the upper part of the system.
If you are using glycol water you can move the antifreeze set-point. The value must be equal to the value of the freezing temperature of the fluid plus 6K.
6.1.3 Cooling
Make sure that the pressure gauges (when present) indicate an adequate pressure. Pressure gauges can be fitted with shut-off valves. They should only be opened when necessary and once readings are taken, they must be closed again.
Check that there is no refrigerant leak, possibly using a leak detector.
6.2 First start-up or restart after long inactivity
6.2.1 Start-up
Activate the machine according to that described in the relative command section.
6.2.1.1 Checks during operation
Check that the machine does not generate abnormal noise or excessive vibrations.
After a few hours of operation verify that the crown of the liquid and humidity indicator indicates a dry circuit.
Verify that the machine operates within the optimum working range.
Verify that there is no excessive presence of bubbles in the liquid indicator. If there are this indicates low refrigerant.
A few minutes after starting the compressors, during the summer operating cycle, make sure that the condensation temperature is> 5 ± 2K with respect to the condenser outlet water temperature and that the evaporation temperature is 5 ± 2K lower than the
evaporator outlet water temperature.
Verify that the overheating temperature of the refrigerant is between 5 and 7K. To verify:
– Measure the temperature with a contact thermometer placed on the intake pipe of the condenser .
– Read the temperature indicated on the pressure gauge connected to the inlet.
– The difference between these temperatures provides the overheating value.
Verify that the subcooling temperature of the refrigerant is between 4 and 8K. To verify:
– Measure the temperature with a contact thermometer placed on the outlet pipe from the condenser.
– Read the temperature indicated on a pressure gauge connected to the liquid outlet of the condenser.
– The difference between these temperatures provides the subcooling value.
The tests referred to above can be performed using the pressure gauges supplied with the unit (accessories). Once the checks are complete, close the shut-off valves of the pressure gauges.
6.2.2 Pump release procedureTRANE 81-P-1204-P Water Cooled Heat Pump -
figure 29 Before starting the pump, check that the moving parts rotate freely.
To release the pump:
Remove the fan cover from the seat of the rear motor cover.
Use a screwdriver on the present slot on the motor shaft from the fan side.
In case of blockage, turn the screwdriver by tapping it lightly with a hammer.
When the operations are completed, reassemble the components in reverse order.

6.3 Shut-down
6.3.1 Temporary shut-down
Disable the machine according to that described in the relative command section.
Warning-icon.png Do not disconnect the power supply by acting on the disconnecting switch on board the machine or the main switch of the system. If no voltage is present, the crankcase heaters and any anti- freeze heaters cannot work, thereby, posing a risk of freezing.
6.3.2 Shut-down for long periods
Not using the unit for a long period of time requires the following operations to be performed:
Disable the unit in any mode of operation it may be, from the control panel.
Set the remote switch to “OFF” (if present) after having turned off the unit.
Disable the internal terminal units by setting the switch of each unit to “off”.
Set the main switch of the system to ”off”.
Close the water valves.
Warning-icon.png If, during the period of inactivity the temperature drops below zero, the system must be fully empties or topped up with antifreeze liquid.
6.4 Flow rate calibration
Once the pump has started, verify that the fluid flow rate of the utilities is within the expected values for the unit.
To verify:
Use pressure gauges set before and after the circulating pump to measure the pressure difference.
Verify that the pressure difference measured is equal to the pressure drop in the system, including the heat exchanger.
To correct:
Turn the valve installed downstream of the pump to increase or decrease the pressure difference.
Mark the position of each valve to reposition it in the same position after closing for maintenance operations.
If there are no pressure gauges:
Verify the temperature difference between the utility fluid input and output when the unit is operating regularly (all compressors on).
The difference in water temperature between input and output must be between 4° and 6°C:
– If it is below 4°C, the water flow rate is too high: slightly close the discharge valve of the pump.
– If it is more than 6°C, verify the pressure drops in the water circuit.
Warning-icon.png For units equipped with two pumps, you will have to repeat the calibration for each pump.
