SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

  • All user’s manual requirements as well as the provisions of all the applicable local and national construction, electrical, and technical norms and standards must be observed when installing and operating the unit.

  • Check the unit for any visible damages of the casing before starting installation. The casing internals must be free of any foreign objects.
    While mounting the unit, avoid compression of the casing!

  • Misuse of the unit and any unauthorized modifications are not allowed.

  • Do not expose the unit to adverse atmospheric agents (rain, sun, etc.).

  • Transported air must not contain any dust or other solid impurities, sticky substances, or fibrous materials. Do not use the unit in a hazardous or explosive environment containing spirits, gasoline, insecticides, etc.
    Do not sit on the unit and do not put objects on it.

  • The information in this user’s manual was correct at the time of the document’s preparation.

  • The Company reserves the right to modify the technical characteristics, design, or configuration of its products at any time in order to incorporate the latest  technological developments.

PURPOSE

The duct coolers are designed for supply air cooling in supply or air handling units integrated into rectangular ventilation systems. The cooler is a component part and is not designed for independent operation.
Transported air must not contain any flammable or explosive mixtures, evaporation of chemicals, sticky substances, fibrous materials, coarse dust, soot and oil particles or environments favourable for the formation of hazardous substances (toxic substances, dust, pathogenic germs).

DESIGNATION KEY

TECHNICAL DATA

  • Duct water cooler KWK (KWK1):
  • Maximum operating pressure: 1.5 MPa (15 bar).
  • Direct expansion cooler KFK (KFK1):
  • Maximum  operating pressure: 2.8 MPa (28 bar).

Each cooler is subjected to a pressure and a tightness test. The cooler design is constantly being improved, so some models can slightly differ from those ones described in this manual.

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

  • The cooler casing is made of polymer-coated steel, the tube collectors are made of copper and the heat exchanger surface is made of aluminium plates. The cooler casing has a dismountable design that provides easy access to the heat exchanger and the droplet separator. The cooling coils are available in 3 rows modification.
  • The internal operating medium of the KFK (KFK1) duct cooler is an evaporating refrigerant, i.e. R123, R134a, R152a, R404a, R407c, R410a, R507, R12, R22.
  • The internal operating medium of the KWK (KWK1) duct cooler is water or antifreeze.
  • If necessary change the service side by turning the cooling coil through 180°. The KFK1 and KWK1 do not have this option. By default the service side is on the right in the direction of the air flow.

To attain the maximum cooling capacity the cooler must be connected on counter-flow basis

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

The cooler is connected to the air duct with a flange connection

Outdoor installation of the cooler is allowed only if the refrigerant is an antifreeze (ethylene glycol solution). During mounting consider the operating characteristics of the mixing unit actuator. While mounting the cooler provide quick and easy dismantling of the heat exchanger, the drain pan and the drain pipe.

  • The cooler can be installed only horizontally to enable condensate drainage.
  • Mounting the cooler provides enough access for servicing and repair operations.
  • The duct cooler may be installed upstream and downstream of the ventilation unit. If the cooler is installed downstream of the fan, provide at least 1-1.5 m air duct between the cooler and the fan for air flow stabilization.

Prior to starting mounting check the tube, plates and the tube collector condition. Flanges of the system components are mounted with galvanized bolts and M8 nuts. For KWK1 and KFK1 the flanges of the system components are mounted with galvanized bolts and M8 nuts, pre-installed in the cooler. Prior to mounting remove the bolts and after the mounting screw them back. Prior to starting operation and after a long downtime fill the U-trap with water. Negative pressure coolers can be equipped with a U-trap and a ball valve. Such U-trap must not be filled with water.

CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
A drain pan with a drain pipe connected to a sewage system is designed for condensate drainage. While selecting the U-trap dimension type consider the total fan pressure. The U-trap must ensure correct operation of the ventilation system.
Connect the drain pipe, the U-trap (not included in the standard delivery set) and the sewage system with metal, plastic or rubber pipes. The pipe slope downwards must be at least 3°. Before starting the cooler fill the system with water and check that the U-trap is always filled with water. Make sure that the water drainage is correct. The wrong connection to the sewage system may result in condensate accumulation inside the cooler.
The condensate drainage system is designed for operation at an ambient temperature above 0 °С!
If the ambient temperature is below 0 °C, the condensate drainage system must be heat-insulated and pre-heated.

TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE

Maintenance means regular preventive measures during operation. The aluminium ribs and the droplet separator must be cleaned at least once per year by vacuum cleaner or pressure water flushing. The cleaning periodicity depends on air pollution degree and maintenance quality of the filters and equipment. If the internal environment is clean enough, the cleaning may be performed more seldom, as required. The U-trap maintenance includes regular control of water level and sufficient U-trap and drain pipes clearance.

WARNING! WHILE CLEANING THE RIBBED BATTERY BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE RIBBED SURFACE.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible reasons Fault handling
Refrigerant leakage The tube collectors are damaged. Pipe connection is
loose. Contact the Seller.
Low air flow The heat exchanger and/or the droplet separator are soiled.

Clean the heat exchanger and the droplet separator.


Water leakage

| ****

The drainage system is soiled, damaged or arranged not correctly.

| Clean the drain line. Check the drain line slope angle. Make sure that the U-trap is filled with water and the drain pipes are frost protected.

If troubleshooting steps have failed, contact the Seller of the product. In case of faults not described in the table, contact the Seller for further information.
