Settings

The cooling unit is intended to be used as a complementary accessory to larger industrial equipment, and is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat- sensitive components. It is not intended for household use. The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure that the clean cabinet air does not come into contact with the ambient air which may well be dirty or polluted. The cooling unit can dissipate large quantities of heat from electrical enclosures into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the internal temperature to below that of the ambient air. The unit works without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air). The operating temperature range is between +20°C and +55°C. Units can be ordered with an additional electrical cabinet heater. For the cooling capacities and environmental ratings please refer to the type plate data.

Functional Principle

The cooling unit for enclosures works on the basis of a refrigeration circuit consisting of four main components: compressor, evaporator, condenser and expansion device.
The circuit is hermetically sealed and R134a refrigerant circulates inside it (R134a is chlorine-free and has an Ozone Destruction Potential [ODP] of 0 and a Global Warming Potential [GWP] of 1430). The compressor compresses the refrigerant (thus taking it to high pressure and high temperature), and pushes it through the condenser, where it is cooled by ambient air thus passing from the gas to the liquid state. At the liquid state it then passes through the capillary pipe being a much lower pressure the refrigerant arrives to the evaporator where it absorbs the necessary heat to change from liquid to gas state. The gas is then drawn back into the compressor completing the cycle.

Mounting

Mounting preparations
Several points must be checked before the unit can be mounted. These checks must be made to ensure safety
and the trouble-free operation of the unit. These checks must be carried out with absolute thoroughness to
ensure that the unit works perfectly.

Check unit for transport damages
On delivery the carton box containing the unit must be examined for signs of transport damage. Any transport damage to the carton box could indicate that the unit itself has been damaged in transit which in the worst case could mean that the unit will not function.

Location and space requirements
The location of the cabinet must allow for sufficient air circulation to and from the unit.

Attention
Damage to the unit through incorrect mounting. The unit must be mounted according to the mounting template. It is therefore also important to check, with the help of a spirit-level, that the cabinet is in a horizontal position. The max. deviation from the vertical or horizontal is 3 degrees.

Air apertures
To provide adequate air circulation and avoid temperature layers from forming, ensure that air inlet and air outlet are not partially or completely blocked by obstructions in the cabinet. It must also be ensured in accordance with UL, that the air outlet is not blowing air directly at an equipment operator. Should this be the case a barrier or duct shall be provided to redirect the airflow.

Sealing
To guarantee that the unit works perfectly ensure that:

the control cabinet is completely sealed to min. IP54 according to EN 60529
a good seal exists between the control cabinet and the unit

Ensure that for the duration of the mounting operation the cabinet is disconnected from the electrical supply. Therefore take the cabinet out of operation, following the relevant instructions, before mounting work begins and take all precautions to prevent premature reconnection of the cabinet. When all mounting preparations are complete the actual mounting operation can commence.

Use of mounting template (not applicable for 19″ rack mount units)
The supplied mounting template helps to mount the cabinet air conditioner quickly. Please proceed as follows:

Take the cabinet out of operation in the prescribed manner and secure it against unauthorized reactivation
Fix the mounting template in the required position on the outer surface of the cabinet
Drill the holes and cut the apertures in the required positions in the surface of the cabinet and remove the mounting template
Stick the self-adhesive unit seals on the outer surface of the cabinet for externally mounting and on the inner surface of the cabinet for half in/half out mounting of the unit

The self-adhesive seals ensure a durable seal between the unit and the cabinet.

Mounting the unit
Only use the supplied material to mount the unit on the cabinet. Proceed as follows to secure the unit on the cabinet:

Set the unit up on the cabinet
Screw the M6 hex. head screws together with the washers and locking washers into the M6 threaded rivets in the uni

The resistance of the earth connection between cabinet and cooling unit must be < 0.1 Ω.

Condensate management

Condensation drain (1) and oel & cleaning drain (2) pipe connection
The condensation drain (1) is in the base of the unit. The condensation drain pipe should be attached as required e.g. in conditions of high humidity. To install an oel & cleaning drain (2) pipe, please follow below steps:

Electrical Connection

High electric voltage present. Installation, maintenance, cleaning and any other work must be carried out by qualiﬁed personnel only. The personnel must ensure that for the duration of this work the unit and the cabinet are disconnected from the electrical supply and protected against unauthorised/accidental reconnection.

Note: As soon as preperations are ﬁnished, mounting procedures may proceed.

Connection to the main electrical supply
The mains connection is made via a connector / terminal block. To connect the unit to the mains proceed as follows:

Take the control cabinet out of operation in the prescribed manner.
See the connection details on the circuit diagram.

Attention
Between contact T1 & T2 there is a 12V DC potential. These connections are to be connected to a door switch only! If no door switch is used, these contacts are to be bridged and protected from unauthorized and/or accidental external contact. Contacts P1, P2 & P3 are potential free and require an external power source if wired to operate external components (indicator lamps, switches…). The load on these contacts is not to exceed 30V DC, 4 A or 120/250V AC, 4A. If wired to external components it must be ensured that the wiring and connections are double insulated and safe against touch and protected from unauthorized and/or accidental external contact.

Fault warning connection
The fault warning is connected via terminals P1, P2 & P3 on the connection terminal block. The temp. adjustment range is between 25°C (left-hand stop) and 55°C (right-hand stop). The alarm temp. is preset at 50°C.

To change the alarm setting:

Remove the outer cover.
Remove the ﬁxing screws from the PCB cover and the earth wire from inside it.
Lift oﬀ the PCB cover
Using a screwdriver turn the alarm temp. potentiometer on the PC-board slightly to the right (higher) or the left (lower)
please note that the setting for the alarm signal must be at least 5°C higher than the setting for the cabinet’s internal temperature
Close the unit as prescribed.

To connect the door contact switch:

Remove the bridge from terminals T1 & T2.
Connect the door contact switch to terminals T1 & T2.
The contact must be closed when the cabinet door is closed.

Wiring Diagram

Taking into Operation

Attention
The unit can be damaged by lack of lubricant.

To ensure that the compressor is adequately lubricated the oil, which has been displaced during transport, must be allowed to ﬂow back into it. The unit must therefore be allowed to stand for at least 30 min. after mounting before being connected to the mains and taken into operation. The unit / system must be protected with a MCB Type D or K. The unit is controlled in relation to the cabinet internal temperature. A temperature sensor continuously measures the temperature of the air which is drawn into the unit from the cabinet. The required cabinet temp. can be set on the cabinet temperature potentiometer on the PC-board. The temperature adjustment range is between 20°C (left-hand stop) and 50°C (right-hand stop). The potentiometer is factory pre-set at 35°C.

To adjust the cabinet internal temperature please proceed as follows:

Remove the ﬁxing screws from the unit cover and the earth wire from inside it.
Lift oﬀ the cover.
Remove the PCB cover.
Using a screwdriver turn the cabinet temperature potentiometer on the PC-board slightly to the right (higher) or to the left (lower)
Close the unit in the prescribed manner.

Check that the new adjusted values meet the necessary requirements. If necessary repeat the procedure. The compressor together with the ambient radial fan are switched ON or OFF, depending on the cabinet internal air temperature. Here the minimum shut-down time corresponds with the start-up delay. The cooling mode will switch on as soon the desired temperature is reached. The start-up delay is depending on the unit size 3 or 7 min. The cooling mode will switch oﬀ as soon as the desired temperature is undercut by 3K (hysteresis) (KG 4266854 has a 5K hysteresis) and / or when the max. running time of 3 min. is reached. When the test button is pressed the compressor and the ambient fan will run for 120-240 sec. regardless of the cabinet temperature. During this period the green LED on the PC-board will blink twice as fast as normal. If the test button is pressed during the 120-240 sec. test-run, the unit will return to its normal operational mode. The test-run should only be repeated after a minimum compressor shut-down time of 10 min.

NOTE: When the unit is taken into operation for the ﬁrst time, a start- up delay of the cooling circuit for ca. 4-7 min. independent of temperature setting and actual cabinet temperature will take place.
