When working on heating and air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
This manual contains specific information about the required qualification of the working personnel for maintenance, service and repair operations. Every working procedure that affects safety means shall only be carried out by competent persons.
Examples for such working procedures are: · breaking into the refrigerating circuit; · opening of sealed components or ventilated enclosures.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations. Follow all procedures to remain in compliance with national gas regulations.
Prior to beginning work on systems containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. Work shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimise the risk of a flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed. All maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided.
The area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially toxic or flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with all applicable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed or intrinsically safe.
If any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigerating equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.

No person carrying out work in relation to a REFRIGERATING SYSTEM which involves exposing any pipe work shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing and disposal, during which refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. “No Smoking” signs shall be displayed.
Where electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance.
The following checks shall be applied to installations using FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS:
· the actual REFRIGERANT CHARGE is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;
· the ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;
· if an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
· marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;
· refrigerating pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
Instructions for Equipment Using R-454B Refrigerant
WARNING
· Do NOT pierce or burn · Do NOT use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to
clean the equipment, other than those recommended by the manufacturer · Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odor

TRUCLIMATE 900 INSTALLATION GUIDE

WARNING
Ventilated Area: ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system of conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation should continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it. Keep ventilation area clear of obstructions!

CAUTION
This equipment requires connections to a water supply. See the “Water Quality Guidelines” section of this manual for more information on the quality of water required for this operation. If a potable water source is used for this equipment’s water supply, the source water supply shall be protected against back siphonage by the equipment.

WARNING
Do NOT use potential sources of ignition in searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL. of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are bubble method, fluorescent method agents If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall follow the procedure outlined in
this manual.

WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. POSSIBLE RISKS: Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen deficiency
WARNING
ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Follow handling instructions carefully in compliance with national regulations.
WARNING
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

Installation Site
Maximum altitude for this equipment shall not exceed 2000 m. (6561 ft.) For installation only in locations not accessible to the general public.

Installation Space Requirements
NOTE: Equipment with refrigerant charge less than 64 oz does not require have a minimum floor area requirement and does not require a refrigerant leak detection sensor. The sensor might be added as a feature.

General Installation Information

Application
Units are not intended for heating domestic (potable water) by direct coupling. If used for this type of application, a secondary heat exchanger must be used.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “Up” orientation as indicated by the labels on the unit packaging. When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to ensure that all crates and cartons have been received in good condition. Examine units for shipping damage, removing unit packaging if necessary to properly inspect unit. Units in question should also be internally inspected. If any damage is observed, the carrier should make the proper notation on delivery receipt acknowledging the damage. Units are to be stored in a location that provides adequate protection from dirt, debris and moisture.
Units are setup to be side picked using a fork lift. Some units include pick bars allowing for picking from the end with required fork lengths. Note unit labels and markings for safe picking points. Do not pick the unit up from points not specified and keep the unit level during transport and handling. Using improper equipment handling methods can result in damage and/or void the warranty.
Unit Location
The unit or bank of units can be installed in a suitable location at ground level or on the building rooftop. Both locations must be able to support the weight of the unit(s) and be located away from any source of discharge gas that could affect the performance of, or prematurely deteriorate metal components in the unit. Examples of discharge gases include boiler flue gases and vents discharging corrosive airborne chemicals. In either location the unit must be installed on a level surface where all four sides of the unit are supported and the front and rear of the unit can be anchored. A concrete slab with footers or mounted on steel channel is favored. It is also recommended that vibration dampening measures be taken in every installation. In addition to supporting the unit, care must be taken in selecting a location with ample clearance for airflow and service personnel as well as consideration for unit noise.
When the location of the installation is above 1969 ft (600m), the Altitude Adjustment Factor in the table is needed to calculate the minimum room size”. Example: For instance, if your elevation is 5249Ft (1500mm) your area factor would be 1.12. If your charge weight is 80oz (2.268 kg) at a floor height installation. The Amin would be 516 square Ft (48.0 square meters). Take 516 square ft x 1.12 for a new Amin of 577.92 square feet (53.76 square meters).

Water Connections

Water Piping
Water Piping must be installed in accordance with application codes and standards. Supply and return connections are to be installed per installation instructions. Strainers are required on the water supply, per engineering specification, to prevent heat exchanger fouling.

Temperature Headers
Temperature headers will need to be installed between the building and chiller connections. DP transducers must be installed at the bank level to monitor water flow through the bank.

It is recommended to provide water isolation valves for proper isolation and maintenance of the unit, pumps, and strainers. Proper procedure and care must be taken to ensure a clean system.

Bypass Headers
Bypass headers will need to be installed between the chiller outlet and the building connection.

BEFORE START-UP IS SCHEDULED, Piping system must be cleaned, flushed, and filled with water that is clean and treated in accordance with the necessary standards and specifications.

Each water header is equipped with standard supply and return water temperature sensors.

Software ingratiated flow switches are installed on the headers to insure water flow is present before the unit will start.

Units must be powered with all control wiring connected in accordance with the wiring schematic.

Complete chiller pre-startup form and submit to startup technician prior to scheduling startup services.

Refrigerant Removal and Evacuation

When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs ­ or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
· safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations;
· evacuate;
· purge the circuit with inert gas (optional for A2L);
· evacuate (optional for A2L);
· continuously flush or purge with inert gas when using flame to open circuit; and
· open the circuit.

The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final oxygenfree nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. The outlet for the vacuum pump shall not be close to any potential ignition sources, and ventilation shall be available.

Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
· Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment.
· Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
· Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
· Ensure that the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
· Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
· Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM.
Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate purging gas. The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.

Refrigerant Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of the flammable refrigerant. If in doubt, the manufacturer should be consulted. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition.
The recovered refrigerant shall be processed according to local legislation in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The compressor body shall not be heated by an open flame or other ignition sources to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
