Do not tamper with or replace parts of the unit without the specific consent of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall have no responsibility whatsoever in case of unauthorised operations.
Using components, consumables or spare parts that do not correspond to those recommended by the manufacturer and/or listed in this manual may be dangerous for the operators and/or damage the unit. The operator’s workplace has to be kept clean, tidy and clear of objects that may hinder free movement. Appropriate lighting of the work place shall be provided so as to allow the operator to carry out the required operations safely. Poor or excessive lighting can cause risks. Ensure that work places are always adequately ventilated and that the extraction systems are working, in good condition and in compliance with the requirements of the laws in force. In the design phase, the indications contained in UNI EN ISO 14738 regarding workstations on the machinery were followed and the lifting limits imposed by UNI ISO 11228-1 were evaluated. Make sure to maintain, during the installation and maintenance of the unit, a posture that does not cause fatigue. Check the weight, before moving any component.

• The unit works with R32 refrigerant, which is included in the list of greenhouse gases (GWP 675) which are subject to the requirements in EU regulation n. 517/2014 called “F-GAS” (mandatory in the European zone). Among the provisions of this regulation, it sets forth that operators working on systems running with greenhouse gases be in possession of a certification, issued or acknowledged by the competent authorities, attesting that they have passed a test authorising them to perform this work. In particular
• Up to 3kg total refrigerant in the appliance: category 2 certification.
• 3 kg and more total refrigerant in the appliance: category 1 certification.

The gaseous form of R32 refrigerant is heavier than air and if released into the environment, most of it tends to concentrate in poorly ventilated areas. Inhaling it can cause dizziness and sensations of suffocation and can develop lethal gas if in contact with naked flames or hot objects (see the refrigerant’s safety data sheet).
Pay attention to the fact that refrigerant fluids can be odourless

For any operation on the heat pump system:
Wear the appropriate PPE (specifically gloves and goggles). Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated. Do not work in closed environments or ditches with little air circulation. Do not operate on the refrigerant in the vicinity of hot parts or naked flames. Do not release the refrigerant into the environment and pay special attention to accidental leakage from pipes and/or fit-tings even after having emptied the plant. Make sure there is a fire extinguisher near the unit.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE LIMIT TEMPERATURE

LIFTING AND HANDLING
The handling must be performed by qualified personnel, properly equipped with appropriate tools to the weight and the encumbrance of the unit, in compliance with safety regulations of accident preventing.

It is recommended:

1. check the weight on unit technical label or on table of tecnical data;
2. check moving the unit there are no disconnected paths, ramps, steps, doors that could affect the movement and damage the unit;
3. make sure the unit stands while moving;
4. Before handling the unit, check that the equipment is suitable for lifting and preserving the integrity of the unit;
5. check the unit center of gravity and align it with lifting point;
6. perform lifting only by one of the listed procedures;
7. Before starting handling make sure the unit is in stable equilibrium.

Lifting mode
Following lifting moes are allowed:

• forklift truck
• ropes/chains + sling bar

Make sure to tension the lifting ropes gradually and check their correct positioning.

POSITIONING AND MINIMUM TECHNICAL CLEARANCES
All models of the range are designed and constructed for outdoor installations. It is advisable to create an adequately sized support base for the unit. The units transmit a small amount of vibrations to the ground: it is none-the less advisable to apply vibration dampers between the base frame and support surface.
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION IS FORBIDDEN.
The support plane must have enough capacity to support the unit weight, which can be checked both on the technical label on the unit and on this technical manual under “Technical data” chapter. The support plane mustn’t be inclined to ensure the unit works properly and avoid a possible overturning. The support plane mustn’t be smooth, to avoid water/ice depoisit as potential sources of danger. Unit installation place must be free from foliage, dust, etc., which could clog or cover the coil. Installation in areas subject to water stagnation or fall, for example from gutters, should be avoided. Also avoid areas subject to snow accumulation (such as corners of buildings with sloping roofs). In case of installation in areas subject to snowfall, place the unit on a base raised from the ground by 20-30 cm, so as to prevent the formation of snow accumulations around the machine. It is recommended to ensure sufficient air exchange to dilute the R32 gas in case of accidental leakage, to avoid the formation of explosive atmospheres. For this reason, a minimum distance of 1 metre must be maintained from openings or wells, where the gas could accumulate. Installation of the unit under roofs of any kind, such as roofs, canopies and the like, should be avoided.
It is very important to avoid recirculation between intake and delivery air, so as not to downgrade performance of the unit or even to interrupt its normal operation. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to guarantee the minimum service spaces listed below.

Do not obstruct or cover the ventilation openings. For strong wind installation place refer to the classification of the area according to the Beaufort table. If the value is > 7 (strong wind, average wind speed = 13,9-17,1 m/s) it is strictly necessary to keep the fan always powered, thus preventing involuntary rotation of the same.

We always invite you to make an environmental impact assessment based on the power and sound pressure data shown in chapter “Technical data” and the sound emission limits based on the installation area of the unit , with reference to the DPCM of 14/11/1997. An assessment must also be made if the unit is installed in the proximity of workers according to D. LGS. 81/2008 Art. 189 and following.

2. To access the power supply terminal block, remove panel A by unscrewing the screws as shown in figure 2.
3. To access the user terminal block, remove panel B by unscrewing the screws as shown in figure 2.
4. Insert the cables in the cable shot provided on the rear side of the machine to connect them to the system.
5. Close the electrical panel and the access panels to the machine components compartment using the screws previously removed.

The above operations must be carried out with the machine switched off and disconnected from the power supply (by means of a disconnecting switch provided by the installer).
These operations must be carried out by qualified personnel. On finishing the work, refit all the removed covers with all the screws provided and the seals (if fitted).

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

The plumbing connections must be made in accordance with national and/or local regulations; pipes can be made of steel, galvanised steel or PVC. Pipes must be accurately sized according to the nominal water flow rate of the unit and the pressure drops of the water circuit. All pipes must be insulated with closed-cell material of adequate thickness. The chiller must be connected to the pipes using new flexible joints, not re-used ones.

The water circuit should include the following components:

• Well thermometers to monitor the circuit’s temperature.
• Manual gate valves to isolate the chiller from the water circuit.
• Metal Y filter and dirt separator (installed on the return pipe) with metal mesh no larger than 1 mm. (obligatory to mantain the validity of the guarantee).
• Loading group and exhaust valve where necessary.

CAUTION: When sizing the pipes, make sure not to exceed the maximum pressure drop on plant side reported in the techni-cal data table (see useful head).

• Connect the pipes to their fittings always using the key to key method.

ATTENTION: Create a suitable drain for safety valve.
CAUTION: The installer is in charge of making sure that the expansion vessel is suited to the real capacity of the system.

• The return pipe from the system must be installed near the label “WATER INLET” otherwise the evaporator could freeze.
• It is mandatory to install a metal filter (with mesh no larger than 1 mm) and a dirt separator on the return pipe from the system labelled “WATER INLET”. If the flow switch is manipulated or altered, or if the metal filter and dirt separator are missing, the warranty will terminate immediately. The filter and dirt separator must be kept clean. Therefore after installing the unit, you must make sure that they are still clean and check them regularly.

All of the units leave the company supplied with flow switch (installed in factory). If the flow switch is altered or removed or if the water filter and dirt separator are missing from the unit, the guarantee will be void. Refer to the wiring diagram attached to the unit to connect the flow switch. Never jumper connections of the flow switch in the terminal block.
The heating system and the safety valves must comply with the requirements of standard EN 12828.

In each unit a safety valve with 6 bar opening pressure included all the same
ATTENTION: It is recommended to connect the safety valve vent in an appropriate conveyor / discharge.
Otherwise the discharged water could stagnate around the unit and become a source of danger due to slipping / falling.

Drainage system
The units all of them adopt drainage holes on the basement for the condensate draining which can leach from the pipes of hydraulic and refrig-erant circuits, and to discharge the generated water during defrosting cycles.

FOR THE HEAT PUMP UNITS, ESPECIALLY IN VERY COLD CLIMATE REGIONS, IT’S RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL ELEVATION SUPPORTS IN ORDER TO ALLOW ICE FORMATION UNDER THE UNIT WITHOUT DAMAGING IT BY FREEZING.
CAUTION: for heat pump units, in the event that the prepared ducting system is not used, a limited amount of water (possible ice in the winter period) from the condensate drainage system may be deposited in the vicinity of the unit, with consequent danger of slipping/falling.

Filling / Discharge of the plant
CAUTION: supervise all filling/top-up operations.

• before filling/topping up the system disconnect power to the units.
• the system must always be filled/topped up in controlled pressure conditions (1÷3 bar). Make sure that a pressure reducer and safety valve have been installed on the filling/top-up line.
• the water on the filling/top-up line must be appropriately pre-filtered from any impurities and suspended parti-cles. Make sure that a removable cartridge filter and dirt separator are installed on the line.
• regularly check and vent the air built up in the system.
• install an automatic air venting valve at the highest point of the system.

When it is required to top up the circuit or to adapt the glycol level, please use the service valve. Unscrew and remove the cap from the service valve (A) and connect a 14 or 12 mm pipe (inside diameter – check the valve model installed on your unit), connected to the water mains, to the hose connector and then drain the circuit by unscrewing the specific ring nut (B). After the end of the operation, retighten the ring nut (B) and screw the cap back on (A).In any case it is recommended to use an external valve to fill the system which can be set up by the installer.

If the unit must be completely drained, first close the manual inlet and outlet shutters (not supplied) and then disconnect the pipes on the water inlet and outlet so that the liquid in the unit can drain (to make this operation easier, it is advisable to install two external drain cocks between the unit and the manual shutters on the water inlet and outlet).

Service sleeves

The unit is fitted with an air venting valve to automatically remove air that has built up in the circuit, prevent-ing undesirable effects such as premature corrosion and wear, lower performance and low exchange output. The device also features a safety function because, in the event of exchanger breakdown, it allows the refrig-erant gas to escape outside, preventing it fro being conveyed to the internal terminals.
The valve can be kept in a closed position by closing the plug on the drain; by loosening the plug, the valve remains in open position and air is discharged automatically. If you notice a water leak, you must replace the component by unscrewing it with a spanner, as shown in the image below.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Check that the power supply matches the unit’s electric nominal data (voltage, phases, frequency) displayed on the rating plate on the unit’s side panel. The electric power connections must be made in accordance to the wiring diagram enclosed with the unit and in conformity with national and international standards (providing general circuit breaker, residual current devices for each line, proper earthing of the plant, etc.).
CAUTION: Before starting any operation, make sure that the power supply is disconnected.

• Respect the minimum clearances to perform wiring.
• The installer is responsible for the disconnection system (e.g. general circuit breaker) upstream of the electrical connections of the unit.
• The supply voltage’s fluctuations cannot exceed ±10% of the nominal value. If this tolerance should not be re-spected, please contact our technical department. The power supply must comply with the limits mentioned, otherwise the warranty will expire immediately.
• If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified personnel, in order to prevent any risk.

ATTENTION: Any devices placed nearby can cause / suffer electromagnetic disturbances to/from the unit. Be aware of this risk at the installation site. It is recommended to electrically power the unit with an adequate line and protections and use an independent cable duct.

Access to electric panel
The following is the procedure for accessing the electric panel.

1. Remove the two access panels to the components compartment by unscrewing the screws as shown in figure 1
2. To access the power supply terminal block, remove panel A by unscrewing the screws as shown in figure 2.
3. To access the user terminal block, remove panel B by unscrewing the screws as shown in figure 2.
4. Insert the cables in the grommets provided on the rear side of the machine to connect them to the system.
5. Close the electrical panel and the access panels to the machine components compartment using the screws previously removed.

The above-mentioned operations must be carried out with the machine off and power disconnected (by means of the specific disconnector applied by the installer). Operations carried out by qualified personnel. When the work is finished, close all of the removed covers applying the screws and seals (if included).

Power supply
The electrical wiring to the terminal blocks has to be done only by qualified personnel. Make sure to install an adequate ground connection, incomplete grounding can cause electric shock. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by failure or ineffective earthing.
The power cables, electrical protections and line fuses must be sized in accordance with what is reported in the unit’s wiring diagram and in the electrical data contained in the technical characteristics table.
Use a dedicated power line, do not power the appliance through a line to which other users are connected. Fasten the power cables securely and make sure they do not come into contact with sharp corners. Use double insulated cables with copper wires. The ground connection must be carried out first during the connection phase, vice versa it must be removed last when the unit is disconnected. In the event of any loosening of the power cable, it must be ensured that the tension of the active conductors takes place before that of the ground wire.
A main switch or a disconnection device with adequate breaking capacity must be installed on the power supply line, which has a separation of the contacts in all the poles. The differential protection switch must be compatible with inverter appliances, it is recommended to install a type B differential switch, the installation of a different type switch could give rise to untimely trips. The following table shows the recommended cable sections for a maximum length of 30 m. In any case, depending on type of installation, the location and the length of the cables (be it less than or greater than 30 m), the electrical system designer will make an appropriate choice.

Power supply| Model| Recommended cable section (max length30 m)| Recommended tightening torque
---|---|---|---
400V / 3ph| SHP M PLUS 021| 5 x 6 mm2| L1/L2/L3: 3,4 Nm – N/PE: 1 Nm
400V / 3ph| SHP M PLUS 026| 5 x 6 mm2| L1/L2/L3: 3,4 Nm – N/PE: 1 Nm
400V / 3ph| SHP M PLUS 028| 5 x 6 mm2| L1/L2/L3: 3,4 Nm – N/PE: 1 Nm
400V / 3ph| SHP M PLUS 032| 5 x 6 mm2| L1/L2/L3: 3,4 Nm – N/PE: 1 Nm

The units comply with the electromagnetic compatibility specifications, however the designer of the electrical system must fulfil appropriate assessments to ensure the absence of interference.

STARTUP

Before start-up:

1. Check that the diagrams and manuals of the installed machine are available.
2. Check that the wiring and plumbing diagrams of the plant the machine is connected to are available.
3. Check that the shut-off valves of the water circuits are open.
4. Check that the water circuit was filled under pressure and the air vented.
5. Check that all the plumbing connections are installed correctly and that all the indications on the rating plates are complied with.
6. Make sure that measures have been taken to discharge condensate.
7. Check the electrical connection and correct fastening of all the terminals.
8. Check that the electrical connections have been made according to standards in force, including earthing.
9. Voltage must match that on the unit’s rating plate.
10. Make sure that the electric voltage is within the tolerance limits (±10%).
11. Check that the electric heaters of the compressors are properly powered.
12. Check that there are no gas leaks.
13. Before switching the unit on, check that all panels are positioned correctly and well-fixed with screws.

CAUTION: The unit must be connected to the electric mains and placed in STANDBY (powered on) by closing the master switch at least 12 hours before start-up. This will allow the heaters to adequately warm up the compressor crankcase (the heaters are powered automatically when the switch is closed). The heaters are working properly if after a few minutes the temperature of the compressor crankcase is 10-15°C higher than ambient temperature.

• Check that the weight of the pipes does not bear upon the machine structure.
• Never use the master switch to stop the unit temporarily. This must only be done to disconnect the unit from the power supply for long downtimes (e.g. seasonal stops etc.). Furthermore power is missing, the crankcase heaters will not be powered with the risk of breaking the compressors when the unit is switched on.
• Do not modify the electrical connections of the unit so as not to immediately terminate the warranty.
• Summer/winter operation must be selected at the start of the relative season. Frequent and sudden changes of this operation must be avoided so as not to damage the compressors.
• Upon initial installation and start-up, make sure that the machine works properly both in heating and cooling mode.

SWITCHING ON THE UNIT
To supply power to the machine, turn the external handle of the disconnector to ON (“I”). The unit display only switches on if the phase sequence is correct (inspection to be made when commissioning the unit). Wait at least 1 minute between switching the unit off and back on again.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

Write down the unit’s identification data to be able to give it to the assistance centre when requesting an intervention.
The identification plate applied on the machine has all of the technical and performance data of the appliance. In case of tampering, removal or deterioration, ask the Technical Assistance Service for a copy. Tampering, removal and deterioration of the identification plate complicates installation, maintenance and request for spare parts.

We recommend keeping track of the interventions carried out on the unit so as to make any troubleshooting easier. In case of failure or malfunctioning:

• check the type of alarm triggered to report it to the assistance centre;
• contact an authorised assistance centre;
• if requested by the assistance centre, immediately deactivate the unit without resetting the alarm;
• request that original spare parts be used.

SHUTDOWNS FOR LONG PERIODS

The shutdown mode of the plant depends on the site of application and the time the plant is expected to be shut down. If the unit is equipped with the antifreeze system, even when off (system on unit at “off” position).
The anti-freeze system remains in operation if the continuity of electrical supply to the appliances is guaranteed. If the system is expected to remain idle for a long period of time, it is recommended to empty the liquid from the system unless there is an adequate amount of glycol.

To switch off the unit completely after having emptied the system:

• Switch off the unit setting the switch of each appliance at “OFF”.
• Close the water valves.
• Set the general residual current device at “OFF” (if installed upstream of the system).

If the temperature drops below zero there is serious danger of frost: provide a mixture of water and glycol in the system, otherwise drain the water system and the circuits of the heat pump.
CAUTION: even the transient operation, with water temperatures below +5°C is not guaranteed on the basis of the limits established. Before you turn the unit back on after a long idle period, make sure that the temperature of the mixture of water and glycol is higher than or at least equal to +5°C.
In the versions designed for low temperature operation (-8 ° C ÷ + 4 ° C), the concentration of glycol present and the relative freezing point must always be checked. Below this temperature it is forbidden to start the unit.

MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC CHECKS

CAUTION: All the operations described in this chapter MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY. Before per-forming any intervention on the unit or accessing internal parts, make sure you have disconnected power.

• Before starting to operate, safety checks must be performed to ensure the combustion hazard is reduced to the minimum. The work must be undertaken according to a controlled procedure, to reduce to the minimum the risk of flam-mable gases or vapours while performing the work. The area must be checked with an appropriate refrigerant fluid detector before and during the work.

• Maintenance must only be carried out in weather conditions suitable for the operations envisaged.

• The use of a lock-valve is strongly recommended for maintenance (access valve to the refrigeration circuit) for coupling with hoses (whip), in order to avoid gas leaks and risk of burns.

• it is possible that a certain quantity of oil from the compressor is deposited in the pipes of the refrigeration circuit, especially by bends. In case of maintenance operations in which it is necessary to unsolder the pipes, it is strongly recommended to proceed with the cutting of the same and not with the desoldering with a torch, as the flame triggers any oil present.

• It is prohibited to fill the refrigerant circuits with a refrigerant other than that indicated on the identification plate. Using a different refrigerant can cause serious damage to the compressor.
  It is prohibited to use oils other than those indicated in this manual. Using a different oil can cause serious damage to the compressor.

• The heads and delivery pipe of the compressor are normally quite hot.

• Be careful when working near the condensing coils. The aluminium fins are very sharp and can cause serious injuries.

• Always use appropriate personal protective equipment.

• After maintenance operations, close the panels again, securing them with the fixing screws. Pay particular attention to the correct closing of the electric box. After the maintenance operations, pay attention to the correct tightening of the cable gland designed for the passage of the electric power cable.

• It is recommended to have specialised personnel perform periodical inspections and maintenance. The EU regulation n.517/2014 establishes that users must perform regular inspections on the plants, checking water tightness and eliminating any leaks as quickly as possible. Verify the mandatory nature and the documentation required in regulation n.517/2014 and its subsequent amendments or repeals.

The following are the recommended (R) and mandatory (M) activities for correct operation of the unit. The mandatory activities must be carried out by an authorised customer service which issues a corresponding certificate. Failure to comply with these activities will entail forfeiture of the warranty and could considerably shorten the service life of your product.

CLEANING THE FINNED COIL
To correctly clean the coil, follow the instructions below:

• Remove any superficial filth. Debris such as leaves, fibres etc. must be removed without a vacuum cleaner (use a brush or another soft tool carefully avoiding scratching with metal or abrasive parts). If you use compressed air, pay attention to keep the air flow perpendicular to the surface of the coil in order not to bend the aluminium fins. Pay attention not to bend the fins with the nozzle of the compressed air lance.
• Rinse. Rinse with water. It is possible to use chemical substances (specific detergents for finned coils). Rinse the coils by letting the water run inside each individual passage of the fins, until they are perfectly clean. Pay attention to direct the water jet perpendicular to the surface of the coil in order not to bend the aluminium fins. Do not strike the coil with the water hose. Apply your thumb at the end of the hose to increase the pressure of the water jet instead of using specific nozzles which could damage the coil.

Cleaning the filled coil treated with the anti-corrosion method
The anti-corrosion treatment applied to the finned coils (available as an alternative to the standard coils) guarantees protection against aggressive atmospheres. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environmental conditions and is left to the common sense of the maintenance staff. When oxidizing dust or grease particles are observed on the battery surface, cleaning is recommended. In general, in a slightly polluted atmosphere, it is recommended to carry out the cleaning treatment every three months. Washing should be carried out with preferably hot water (40-60 °C) and detergent with neutral pH, while rinsing is carried out with abundant fresh water (50 l / m2). If the maintenance staff observes a lack of protective cover on the edge of the fins, it is necessary to contact the nearest service center to
proceed with a new application of the cover and completely restore the protection against corrosion.
CAUTION: Do not clean the coil using high-pressure cleaners so as not to apply excessive pressure which could cause irreparable damage. Damage caused by cleaning with unsuitable chemical substances or excessively high water pressure will not be recognised under warranty.

• The aluminium fins are thin and sharp. Pay the utmost attention and use appropriate PPE to avoid cuts and abra-sions. Cover your eyes and face appropriately to avoid squirting water and filth while blowing. Wear waterproof shoes or boots and clothing covering your entire body.
• For units installed in an aggressive atmosphere with a high rate of fouling, cleaning of the coil should be part of the routine maintenance programme. On this type of installation, all dust and particles deposited on the batteries must be removed as soon as possible by periodic cleaning in accordance with the above instructions.

CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
The sheets of the outer casing must be properly cleaned to avoid the accumulation of dust / dirt, preventing the onset of corrosion. The painting ensures resistance to atmospheric agents but it is good practice to make sure to remove any dirt present, cleaning the surfaces with neutral detergent and water, especially if the unit is installed in places with an aggressive atmosphere (high level of pollution, salt , etc).

EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENCE
All extraordinary maintenance jobs must be carried out by an authorised assistance centre. Some extraordinary maintenance works may involve the replacement of broken components, which may have significant mass. Below is the list of components (standard and optional) and the approximate weight for each piece (take into consideration that any residues of oil, liquid gas, water can increase the weight). Consult the table before the maintenance phase (or refer to the label of the component itself) and choose the equipment / posture most suitable for the work to be carried out taking into account the load limits imposed by the technical standards and the state of health and ability of the worker himself.

DECOMMISSIONING

Once the unit has reached the end of its life cycle and needs to be replaced, the following operations are recommended:

• the refrigerant has to be recovered by trained personnel and sent to proper collection centres; according to the procedures indicated in Regulation No. 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases;
• any antifreeze additives in the water circuit must be recovered and disposed of properly;
• the compressors’ lubricating oil has to be collected and sent to proper collection centres;
• the structure and the different components, if unusable, must be scrapped and divided according to their nature; there is especially a good amount of copper and aluminium in the machine.

These operations allow easy material recovery and the recycling process, thus reducing the environmental impact in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2012/19 / EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (RAEE). The user is responsible for the proper disposal of this product, according to national regulations in the country of destination of the appliance.

UNIT AND AUXILIARY ELECTRICAL DATA

NOTE: The electrical data are subject to change due to updates. It is therefore always necessary to refer to the technical specifications label applied on the right side panel of the unit.

OPERATING LIMITS

EVAPORATOR WATER FLOW RATE
he nominal water flow rate refers to a 5°C temperature difference between the evaporator inlet and outlet. The maximum permitted flow rate features a 3°C temperature difference while the minimum one has an 8°C temperature difference at the nominal conditions as shown in the technical sheet.
Insufficient water flow rates can cause excessively low evaporation temperatures causing the safety devices to trigger and stopping the unit and, in some extreme cases, forming ice in the evaporator and resulting in serious failures to the cooling circuit.
For greater details, we have attached a table below with the minimum flow rates for the plate heat exchanger to guarantee proper operation according to the model (please note: the water flow switch is applied to protect against failed triggering of the antifreeze probe due to the lack of flow but does not guarantee the minimum water flow rate required for correct operation of the unit).

Minimum water flow to be assured in chiller mode (condition (1) technical sheet) [l/s]| 0,529| 0,558| 0,723| 0,776
Maximum water flow to be assured in chiller mode (condition (1) technical sheet) [l/s]| 1,41| 1,49| 1,93| 2,07
Minimum flow switch water flow rate [l/s]| 0,445| 0,445| 0,528| 0,528
Maximum flow switch water flow rate [l/s]| 0,477| 0,477| 0,588| 0,588

• When the flow rate drops below the indicated limit (flow switch minimum water flow rate) the flow switch issues an alarm, which may be reset only upon reaching the maximum indicated flow rate.

COLD WATER PRODUCTION (SUMMER MODE)
A minimum temperature of 5°C is allowed at the evaporator outlet for standard units. For BT units (low temperature) minimum temperature is -8°C. In this case glycol water must be used. A maximum temperature of 22°C can be maintained at the evaporator outlet in steady-state oper-ation.

HOT WATER PRODUCTION (SUMMER MODE)
When the system has reached steady state, the water inlet temperature must not drop below 25°C: lower values, not due to transient phases or reaching steady- state, can cause system failures and could possibly break the compressor. The maximum outlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C. There could be failures to the regular operation of the unit or, in more critical cases, the safety devices could be triggered due to temperatures higher than those indicated, especially if coupled with reduced water flow rates.

AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE AND SUMMERISED TABLE
The units are designed and built to operate in summer mode, with condensation control, at outdoor air temperatures between -10°C and 48°C. I heat pup mode, the allowed temperature range of the outdoor air is from -20°C to +35°C depending on the outlet water temperature as shown in table below.
