SHUTTING DOWN FOR LONG PERIODS
If there is a possibility that the outside temperature may drop below zero, there is a risk of
freezing.
The water circuit MUST BE EMPTIED AND
CLOSED (if emptying after heating operation
beware of the water temperature) or antifreeze
must be added in the proportion recommended
by the manufacturer.
A
Never perform any cleaning operations before
having disconnected the unit from the mains power
supply.
Check for voltage before proceeding.
CHEMICAL WASHING
It is recommended to chemically flush the plate heat
exchanger after every 3 years of operation.
For instructions on how to carry out this operation, call
the toll free number.
REFRIGERANT GAS CONTENT
The chillers are filled with R410A refrigerant gas and
tested in the factory.
In normal conditions, there should be no need for the
Technical Service to intervene to check the refrigerant gas.
However, over time, small leaks may develop at the
joints leading to loss of refrigerant and draining of
the circuit, causing the unit to function poorly.
In this case, the leaks of refrigerant must be identified
and repaired and the refrigerant circuit recharged.
Proceed as follows:
-Empty and dry the entire refrigerant circuit using a
vacuum pump connected to the low and high pressure tap until the vacuometer reads about 10 Pa.
Wait a couple of minutes and check that this value
does not rise to more than 50 Pa.
-Connect the refrigerant gas cylinder or a filling cylinder to the low pressure line pressure gauge connection
- Fill with the quantity of refrigerant gas indicated on
the rating plate of the unit;
- Always check the superheating and subcooling
values, which, in normal appliance operating conditions, should be between 4 and 8 °C.
In the event of partial leaks, the circuit must
be completely emptied before being recharged.
The R410A refrigerant must only be charged
in the liquid state.
Operating conditions other than rated conditi ons may prod uce conside rably di fferen t
values.
Seal testing or identification of leaks must only
be carried out using R410A refrigerant gas,
checking with a suitable leak detector.
The refrigerant circuit must not be charged
with a refrigerant other than that indicated.
Oxygen, acetylene or other inflammable or poisonous gases must never be used in the refrigerant circuit as they may cause explosion or
poisoning.
Oils other than those indicated must not be
used.
The use of a different oil may cause serious
damage to the compressor.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Never perform any cleaning operations before
having disconnected the unit from the mains power
supply.
Check for voltage before proceeding.
Regular maintenance is fundamental to maintain the
efficiency of the unit both in terms of operation and
energy consumption.
The Technical Service maintenance plan must be
observed, with an annual service which includes the
following operations and checks:
-Filling of the water circuit;
-Presence of air bubbles in the water circuit;
- Efficiency of safety devices;
-Power supply voltage;
- Electrical power input;
-Tightness of electrical and water connections;
-Refrigerant charge
-Cleaning of the water filter
-Operation and cleaning of the flow switch
-Condition of the compressor contactor;
-Efficiency of the plate heat exchanger resistor;
-Verification of operating pressure, superheating and
subcooling
-Efficiency of the compressor heater
-Cleaning of the finned coil
-Cleaning of the fan grills
For units installed near the sea, the intervals between
maintenance should be halved.
