Note: The length and the width of the unit can be different from this drawing but the lifting method remains the same
Figure 4 - Lifting the unit
WARNING
Both the lifting ropes and the spacing bar and/or scales must be of sufficient size to support the machine safely. Please
verify the unit’s weight on the machine’s nameplate.
The weights shown in the “Technical data” tables in the “General Information” chapter refer to standard units.
Specific machines could have accessories that increase their overall weight (pumps, heat recovery, copper-copper
condenser coils, etc.).
WARNING
The machine must be lifted with the utmost attention and care. Avoid jolting when lifting and lift machine very slowly,
keeping it perfectly level.
Positioning and assembly
All units are produced for installation outdoors, on balconies or on the ground, provided that the area is free from
obstacles that could hamper air flow towards the condenser batteries.
The machine must be installed on a robust and perfectly level foundation; should the machine be installed on balconies
and/or attics, it could be necessary to use weight distribution beams.
For installation on the ground, a strong cement base that is at least 250 mm wider and longer than the machine must be
foreseen. Also, this base must be able to support the weight of the machine as declared in the technical specifications.
If the machine is installed in places that are easily accessible for people and animals, it is advisable to install battery and
compressor section protection grates.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 20/72
Tomensure the best possible performance on the installation site, the following precautions and instructions must be
followed:
Avoid air flow recirculation
Make sure that there are no obstacles to hamper air flow.
Air must circulate freely to ensure proper intake and expulsion.
Ensure strong and solid flooring to reduce noise and vibrations as much as possible.
Avoid installation in particularly dusty environments, in order to reduce soiling of condenser batteries.
The water in the system must be particularly clean and all traces of oil and rust must be removed. Installation of a
mechanical water filter is required for the machine’s input piping.
Minimum space requirements
It is fundamental to respect minimum distances on all units, in order to ensure optimum ventilation for the condenser
batteries. Limited installation space could reduce the normal air flow, thus significantly reducing the machine’s
performance and considerably increasing consumption of electrical energy.
When deciding where to position the machine and to ensure a proper air flow, the following factors must be taken into
consideration: avoid any warm air recirculation and insufficient supply to the air-cooled condenser.
Both these conditions can cause an increase of condensing pressure, which leads to a reduction in energy efficiency and
refrigerating capacity. Thanks to the geometry of their air-cooled condensers, the units are less affected by bad air
circulation situations.
Also, the software has a particular ability for calculationg the machine’s operating conditions and for optimising the load
under abnormal operating conditions.
Every side of the machine must be accessible for post-installation maintenance operations. Figure 3 shows the minimum
space required.
Vertical air expulsion must not be obstructed as this would significantly reduce capacity and efficiency.
If the machine is positioned in such a way as to be surrounded by walls or with obstacles of the same height as the
machine, it must be installed at a distance of at least 2500 mm. If these obstacles are higher, the machine must be
installed at a distance of at least 3000 mm.
Should the machine be installed without observing the recommended minimum distances from walls and/or vertical
obstacles, there could be a combination of warm air recirculation and/or insufficient supply to the air-cooled condenser
which could cause a reduction of capacity and efficiency.
Figure 5 - Minimum space requirements for machine maintenance
In any case, the microprocessor will allow the machine to adjust to new conditions by producing the maximum available
capacity, even if the lateral distance is lower than recommended.
When two or more machines are positioned side by side, a distance of at least 3600 mm between condenser batteries is
recommended.
For further solutions, please consult Daikin technicians.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 21/72
THE WIDTH OF THE UNIT CAN BE DIFFERENT BUT THE MINIMUM RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION DISTANCES
REMAIN THE SAME
Figure 6 - Minimum recommended installation distances
Sound protection
When sound levels require special control, great care must be exercised in isolating the machine from its base, by
appropriately applying antivibration devices (supplied optionally). Flexible joints must be installed on the water
connections, as well.
Water piping
The following instrucrion are applicable to units supplied with the evaporator installed in the package (EWAD E-SS/SL);
that may also be considered as general guidelines for water piping in units supplied without evaporator (ERAD E-SS/SL)
when used in conjuction with refrigerant to water evaporator.
Water piping must be designed with the lowest number of curves and the lowest number of vertical changes of direction.
In this way, installation costs are reduced considerably and system performance is improved.
The water system must have:
Anti-vibration supports in order to reduce transmission of vibrations to the underlying structure.
Sectioning valves to isolate the machine from the hydraulic system during servicing.
Manual or automatic air bleeding device at the system’s highest point. Drainage device at the system’s lowest point. Both
the evaporator and the heat recovery device must not be positioned at the system’s highest point.
A device that can maintain the hydraulic system under pressure (expansion tank, etc.)
Water temperature and pressure indicators on the machine to aid servicing and maintenance operations.
A filter or device that can remove extraneous particles from the water before it enters the pump (Please consult the pump
manufacturer’s recommendations for an appropriate filter to prevent cavitation). Use of a filter prolongs the life of the
pump and helps keep the hydraulic system in best condition. Evaporator filter is supplied for EWAD E-SS/SL.
Another filter must be installed on the pipe conveying ingoing water to the machine, near the evaporator and heat
recovery (if installed). The filter avoids solid particles entering the heat exchanger, as they could damage it or reduce its
heat exchanging capacity.
The shell and tube heat exchanger has an electrical resistance with a thermostat that ensures protection against water
freezing up to an outdoor temperature of – 25°C. All the other hydraulic piping outside the machine must therefore be
protected against freezing.
The heat recovery device must be emptied of water during the winter season, unless an ethylene glycol mixture in
appropriate percentage is added to the water circuit.
If the machine is installed in order to replace another, the entire hydraulic system must be emptied and cleaned before
the new unit is installed. Regular tests and proper chemical treatment of water are recommended before starting up the
new machine.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 22/72
In the event that glycol is added to the hydraulic system as anti-freeze protection, pay attention to the fact that intake
pressure will be lower, the machine’s performance will be lower and water pressure drops will be greater. All machineprotection methods, such as anti-freeze, and low-pressure protection will need to be reset.
Before insulating water piping, check that there are no leaks.

Water treatment
Before putting the machine into operation, clean the hydraulic circuit. Dirt, scales, corrosion residue and other
extraneous material can accumulate inside the heat exchanger and reduce its heat exchanging capacity. Pressure drops
can increase, as well, thus reducing water flow. Proper water treatment therefore reduces the risk of corrosion, erosion,
scaling, etc. The most appropriate water treatment must be determined locally, according to the type of system and to
the local characteristics of the process water.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to or malfunctioning of equipment caused by failure to treat water or by
improperly treated water.

Evaporator and recovery exchangers anti-freeze protection
All evaporators are supplied with a thermostatically controlled anti-freeze electrical resistance, which provides adequate
anti-freeze protection up to –25°C. However, this method is not the only protection system against freezing, unless the
heat exchangers are completely emptied and cleaned with anti-freeze solution.
Two or more protection methods should be foreseen when designing the system as whole:
Continuous water flow circulation inside piping and exchangers.
Addition of an appropriate amount of glycol inside the water circuit
Additional heat insulation and heating of exposed piping
Emptying and cleaning of the heat exchanger during the winter season
It is the responsibility of the installer and/or of local maintenance personnel to ensure two or more of the described antifreeze methods. Continuously verify, through routine checks, that appropriate anti-freeze protection is maintained.
Failure to follow the instructions above could result in damage to some of the machine’s components. Damage from
freezing is not covered by the warranty.
Installing the flow switch
To ensure sufficient water flow through the evaporator, it is essential that a flow switch be installed on the water circuit.
The flow switch can be installed either on the ingoing or outgoing water piping. The purpose of the flow switch is to stop
the machine in the event of interrupted water flow, thus protecting the evaporator from freezing.
If the machine is supplied with total heat recovery, install another flow switch to ensure water flow before the machine’s
functioning is modified in Heat recovery Mode.
The flow switch on the recovery circuit prevents the machine turning off because of high pressure.
The manufacturer offers an optional flow switch that has been especially selected for this purpose; its identification code
is 131035072.
This flow switch, of the palette type, is suitable for heavy-duty outdoor applications (IP67) and suitable for piping with 1”
to 6” diameter.
The flow switch is provided with a clean contact which must be electrically connected to terminals 708 and 724 of
terminal board MC24 (check the unit wiring diagram for further information).
For further information regarding device positioning and settings, please read the instruction leaflet placed inside the
apparatus’ box.

Refrigerating circuit safety valves
Each system comes with safety valves that are installed on each circuit, both on the evaporator and on the condenser.
The purpose of the valves is to discharge the refrigerant inside the refrigerating circuit in the event of any malfunction.
WARNING
This unit is designed for installation outdoors. However, check that there is sufficient air circulation around the machine.
If the machine is installed in closed or partly covered areas, possible damage from inhalation of refrigerant gases must
be avoided. Avoid releasing the refrigerant in the environment.
The safety valves must be connected externally. The installer is responsible for connecting the safety valves to the
discharge piping and for establishing their size.

Guidelines for ERAD E-SS/SL Installation
Full Load
Full Load
Design of condensing unit application, and, in particular, sizing of piping and piping path, is a responsibility of plant
designer. This paragraph is only focused to give suggestion to plant designer, this suggestions have to be weighted with
references to application peculiarities.
Condensing units are shipped with holding nitrogen charge. It is important to keep the unit tightly closed until the remote
evaporator is installed and piped to the unit.
Installation of the refrigerant circuit must be done by a licensed technician and must comply with all relevant European
and national regulations.
It is the contractor’s responsibility to install the interconnection piping, leak test it and the entire system, evacuate the
system and supply the refrigerant charge.
All piping must be conformed to the applicable local and state codes.
Use refrigerant grade copper tubing only and isolate the refrigeration lines from building structures to prevent transfer of
vibration.
Do not use a saw to remove end caps. This might allow copper chips to contaminate the system. Use a tube cutter or
heat to remove caps. When sweating copper joints it is important to flow dry nitrogen through the system prior to
charging with refrigerant. This prevents scale formation and the possible formation of an explosive mixture of HFC-134a
and air. This will also prevent the formation of toxic phosgene gas, which occurs when HFC-134a is exposed to open
flame.
Soft solders are not to be used. For copper-to-copper joints use a phos-copper solder with 6% to 8% silver content. A
high silver content brazing rod must be used for copper-to-brass or copper-to-steel joints. Only use oxy-acetylene
brazing.
After the equipment is correctly installed, leak tested and evacuated , it can be charged with R134a refrigerant and
started under the supervision of Daikin authorized technician.
Refrigerant piping design
In order to minimize capacity loss, it is recommended to size the lines in such a way that the pressure drop of each line
does not result in an evaporating temperature decrease of more than 1°C.
Design of refrigeant piping depends on operating condition and, in particular, on evaporating temperature and suction
superheat, so values suggested in the following table have to be considered just as a reference; no claim may be
submitted to Daikin for wrong design of piping coming from the use of tables.

If necessary, use double suction riser constructions.
Make sure to install a sightglass in the liquid line as close as possible to the expansion device of the evaporator
Expansion valve
Expansion valve has to be designed accordingly to the unit cooling capacity and pressure drops across the liquid line
and the evaporator distributor.
In the following the reference values of condensing pressure
ST Version
Design point (35°C ambient, 7°C suction) : 14 barg
Max : 18.5 barg
Min : 9.0 barg
LN Version
Design point (35°C ambient, 7°C suction) : 15 barg
Max : 18.5 barg
Min : 9.0 barg
The expansion valve may be either thermostatic or electronic. In the case of electronic expansion valve, it has to be
equipped with standalone controller and instrumentazione.
Electronic expansion valve installation is suggested when the operating range of the chiller (and in particular of ambient
temperature) is quite wide and when low saturated suction temperature are expected.
Refrigerant Chargie
Pre-charge of refrigerant may be evaluate accordingly to the following formula
Refrigerant charge [kg] =unit charge as per technical specification tables + ld * Fl + sd * Fs + Ve * 0.5
ld = value in table 14
sd = value in table 14
Fs = total length of the field suction line (m)
Fl = total length of the field liquid line (m)
Ve = refrigerant volume of the field evaporator (liter)

The calculated refrigerant precharge has to be added befor starting the unit (running compressor may damage the unit).
After precharge and prestart checks, the charge has to be tuned.
For fine-tuning of the refrigerant charge, the compressor must operate at full load (100%).
The charge has to be adjusted to have suction superheat and subcooling within allowable range and to have the
sightglass totally sealed. As long as the liquid-line sightglass is not sealed, add refrigerant in steps of a few kgs and wait
until the unit runs in stable conditions. The unit must have the time to stabelize which means that this charging has to be
done in a smooth way.
During charge tuning verify the oil sightglass.
Note down the superheat and subcooling for future reference.
Fill out the total refrigerant charge on the unit nameplate and on the refrigerant charge label supplied with the product.

Two temperature sensors are supplied, cabled to the unit controller, with a cable length of 10 m. They have to be
installed to measure the chilles fluid at the inlet (WIE) and at the outlet (WOE) of the evaporator, and the are used by the
unit controller to adjust the unit capacity to the demand.
In case of air chilling, it is recomaned to install a frost sensor on the evaporator and to connect it to the controller external
alarm terminal.

Electrical installation
General specifications
CAUTION
All electrical connections to the machine must be carried out in compliance with laws and regulations in force.
All installation, management and maintenance activities must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Refer to the specific wiring diagram for the machine that you have purchased and which was sent with the unit. Should
the wiring diagram not appear on the machine or should it have been lost, please contact your nearest manufacturer
office, who will send you a copy.
CAUTION
Only use copper conductors. Failure to use copper conductors could result in overheating or corrosion at connection
points and could damage the unit.
To avoid interference, all control wires must be connected separately from the power cables. Use different electrical
passage ducts for this purpose.
CAUTION
Before servicing the machine in any way, open the general disconnecting switch on the machine’s main power supply.
When the machine is off but the disconnecting switch is in the closed position, unused circuits are live, as well.
Never open the terminal board box of the compressors before having opened the unit’s general disconnecting switch.
CAUTION
Contemporaneity of single-phase and three-phase loads and unbalance between phases could cause leakages towards
ground up to 150mA, during the normal operation of the units of the series.
If the unit includes devices that cause superior harmonics (like VFD and phase cut), the leakage towards ground could
increases to very higher values (about 2 Ampere).
The protections for the power supply system have to be designed according to the above mentioned values.

All power and interface electrical connections are specified in the wiring diagram that is shipped with the machine.
The installer must supply the following components:
- Power supply cables (dedicated conduit)
- Interconnection and interface cables (dedicated conduit)
- Suitable line protection devices (fuses or circuit breakers, please see electrical data).
Power Circuit Wiring
A disconnect switch is factory-installed for isolating electrically the unit when switched off. Compressor overload and
short-circuit protection is accomplished by fuses installed in the electrical panel.
Proper phase sequence to the unit is required as far as the unit operation is concerned. All line-side wiring must be in
accordance with local regulation and be made with copper wire and copper lugs only. The table below is a reference only
for dimensioning protection devices and wiring.
CAUTION
In installations with power supply lines longer than 50 metres, phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth inductive couplings
between phases generate significant phenomena, namely:
• unbalancing of phase currents
• excessive voltage drop
In order to limit this phenomena, it is good practice to lay out the phase wires symmetrically, as described in the
figure.

Connect electrical power supply cables to the terminals of the main disconnect switch located on the machine’s terminal
board. The access panel must have a hole of appropriate diameter for the cable used and its cable gland. A flexible duct
can also be used, containing the three power phases plus earth.
In any case, absolute protection against any water penetrating through the connection point must be ensured.
Control Circuit Wiring
The control circuit on the unit is designed for 115V supply. Control power is supplied from a factory-wired transformer
located in the electrical panel. No additional wiring is thus required.
However, a customer terminal board is available for field input/output connections (see Figure 18) to allow a remote
control of the unit.
Electrical heaters
EWAD E-SS/SL units have an electrical anti-freeze heater that is installed directly in the evaporator. Each circuit also has
an electrical heater installed in the compressor, whose purpose is to keep the oil warm and avoid the transmigration of
refrigerant within. Obviously, the operation of the electrical heaters is guaranteed only if there is a constant power supply.
If it is not possible to keep the machine on when inactive during winter, apply at least two of the procedures described in
the “Installation – Mechanical” section under the “Evaporator and recuperative exchangers antifreeze protection”
paragraph.
In case a separate accumulation tank (optional) is requested, its electrical anti-freeze heater must have a separate power
supply.
Electrical power supply to the pumps
On request, a kit can be installed in EWAD E-SS/SL units for fully-cabled and microprocessor-controlled pumping. No
additional control is required in this case.

Water pump control – Electrical Wiring
In case of external water pumps, control is managed by the on-board microprocessor of the unit. However, a minimum
field wiring is required to the customer. Connect the pump contactor coil to terminals 527, 528 (pump #1) and 530, 531
(pump #2) of the customer terminal board MC115 and series connect it to an external power source. Check that the coil
voltage matches the power supply voltage.
The microprocessor digital output port used for water pump control has the following commutation capacity:
Maximum voltage: 250 Vac
Maximum current: 2 A Resistive - 2 A Inductive
Reference standard: EN 60730-1
It is a good practice to install a pump status dry-contact on the pump circuit breaker and to series connect it to a flow
switch.
Alarm relays – Electrical wiring
The unit has a dry-contact digital output that changes state whenever an alarm occurs in one of the refrigerant circuits.
Connect terminals 525, 526 of the terminal board MC115 to an external visual, sound alarm or to the BMS in order to
monitor its operation.
Unit On/ Off remote control – Electrical wiring
The machine has a digital input (terminals 703,745 of the terminal board MC24) that allows remote control with an
external dry-contact. A startup timer, a circuit breaker or a BMS can be connected to this input. Once the contact has
been closed, the microprocessor launches the startup sequence by first turning on the first water pump and then the
compressors. When the remote contact is opened the microprocessor launches the machine shutdown sequence.
Alarm from external device – Electrical wiring (Optional)
This function allow the unit to be stopped from an external alarm signal. Connect terminals 883, 884 of the terminal
board MC24 to a dry-contact of a BMS or an external alarm device.
Double Setpoint – Electrical wiring
The Double Setpoint function allows to switch the unit setpoint between two previously set values on the unit controller.
An example of a typical application is ice production during the night and standard operation during the day. Connect a
switch or a timer (dry-contact) between terminals 703 and 728 of the terminal board MC24.
External water Setpoint reset – Electrical wiring (Optional)
The unit local setpoint can be set by means of an external analog 4-20 mA signal. Once this function is enabled, the
microprocessor allows to adjust the setpoint from the set local value up to a differential of 3°C. 4 mA correspond to 0°C
reset, 20 mA correspond to the setpoint plus the maximum differential allowed.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 41/72
The signal wire must be directly connected to terminals 886 and 887 of the terminal board MC24. A shielded wire is
recommended and it must not be laid in proximity of the power cables, so as not to induce interference with the electronic
controller.
Unit limitation – Electrical wiring (Optional)
The unit microprocessor allows to limit the cooling capacity according to two different sets of criteria:
- Demand limit: The unit load can be varied by means of a 4-20 mA external signal released by a BMS. The
signal wire must be directly connected to terminals 888 and 889 of the MC24 terminal board. A shielded wire is
recommended and it must not be laid in proximity of the power cables, so as not to induce interference with the
electronic controller.
- Current limit: The unit load can be varied by means of a 4-20 mA signal released by a BMS. In this case, a
maximum current value must be set on the microprocessor so that the microprocessor controls compressor
loading according to the reference value and to the measured feedback current (a current transformer is
installed inside the panel). The signal wire must be directly connected to terminals 890 and 889 of the MC24
terminal board. A shielded wire is recommended and it must not be laid in proximity of the power cables, so as
not to induce interference with the electronic controller. A digital input allows to enable the current limitation
when required. Connect the enabling switch or a timer (dry-contact) to terminals 884 and 885 of terminal board
MC24.
Attention: the two options cannot be enabled simultaneously. Setting one function excludes the other.

Operation
Operator’s responsibilities
It is important that the operator is appropriately trained and becomes familiar with the apparatus before operating the
machine. In addition to reading this manual, the operator must study the microprocessor operating manual and the wiring
diagram in order to understand startup sequence, operation, shutdown sequence and operation of all the safety devices.
During the machine’s initial startup phase, a technician authorized by the manufacturer is available to answer any
questions and to give instructions as to the correct operating procedures.
The operator is advised to keep a record of operating data for every installed machine. Another record should also be
kept of all the periodical maintenance and servicing activities.
If the operator notes abnormal or unusual operating conditions, he is advised to consult the technical service authorized
by the manufacturer.
Description of the machine
This machine, of the air-cooled condenser type, is made up of the following main components:
- Compressor: the state-of-the-art single-screw compressor of the Fr3100 or Fr3200 series is of the semi-hermetic
type and utilises gas from the evaporator to cool the engine and allow optimal operation under all foreseen load
conditions. The oil-injection lubrification system does not require an oil pump as its flow is ensured by the pressure
difference between delivery and intake. In addition to ensuring lubrification of ball bearings, oil injection seals the screw
dynamically thus ensuring the compression process.
- Evaporator: For EWAD E-SS/SL only. High-efficiency direct-expansion plate type; the evaporator is of ample size in
order to ensure optimum efficiency under all load conditions.
- Condenser: Finned-pack type with internally microfinned tubes, that expand directly on the high-efficiency open fin.
The condenser batteries are provided with an undercooling section which, in addition to improving the machine’s overall
efficiency, compensates the thermal load variations by adapting the refrigerant load to every foreseen operating
condition.
- Ventilator: High-efficiency axial type. Allows silent operation of the system, also during adjustment.
- Expansion valve: The standard machine has a thermostatic expansion valve with an external equaliser.
Optionally, an electronic expansion valve can be installed, which is controlled by an electronic device called Driver that
optimises its operation. Use of the electronic expansion valve is recommended in case of prolonged operation at partial
loads with very low outdoor temperatures or if the machine is installed in variable flow rate systems.
Description of the chilling cycle
ATTENTION
In the following schemas position of component are indicative.
In particular position of connections (water o refrigerant connection to external plant) may be different.
Refer to on board certified drawings for exact postion on specific unit.
EWAD E-SS/SL
The low-temperature refrigerant gas from the evaporator is taken in by the compressor and crosses the electrical engine,
cooling it. It is subsequently compressed and during this phase the refrigerant mixes with the oil from the separator.
The high-pressure oil-refrigerant mixture is introduced into the oil separator, which separates it, the oil owing to a
pressure difference is sent once again to the compressor while the refrigerant that has been separated from the oil is
sent to the condenser.
Inside the condenser, the refrigerant fluid is evenly distributed to all the battery circuits; during this process it cools after
overheating and starts to condense.
The fluid condensed at saturation temperature travels through the undercooling section, where it yields further heat, thus
increasing cycle efficiency. The heat taken from the fluid during the de-overheating, condensation and undercooling
phase is yielded to the cooling air which is expelled at a higher temperature.
The undercooled fluid travels through the high-efficiency dehydration filter and then through the lamination organ which
launches the expansion process by means of a pressure drop, vaporising part of the refrigerant liquid.
After the expansion the low-pressure and low-temperature liquid-gas mixture, requiring much heat, that is introduced into
the evaporator.
After the liquid-vapour refrigerant has been evenly distributed in the direct-expansion evaporator tubes, it exchanges
heat with the water to be cooled, thus reducing its temperature, and it gradually changes state until evaporating
completely and then overheating.
Once it has reached the overheated-vapour state, the refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is once again taken into the
compressor and restarts the cycle.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 44/72
In economised units, before expansion, a portion of liquid is spilled from the soobcooled condensate, expanded to an
intermediate pressure and than flows trough an heat exchanger where, on the other side, flows the remaining part of
liquid. In this way the soobcooling on the liquid is increased and a small amount of vapour at intermediate value is
produced and injected in the compressor economiser port, so increasing compressor efficiency (reducing discharge
superheat).

ERAD E-SS/SL
ERAD E-SS/SL units (Condensing Units) refrigerant cycle is identical to EWAD E-SS/SL refrigerant cycle except they are
without evaporator, expansoion valve and low pressure safety valve.
Units are designed to be used with external evaporator either for chilling water or air. Typical, but not exhaustive, use is
for custom-made evaporator for process cooling and air-handling unit application.
Chilled fluid entering and leaving temperature probes are supplied with the unit with 12 m cables.
Selection and installation of expansion vale (either thermostatic or electronic), as well as the design of suction and liquid
pipe is a responsibility of the plant designer.
Units ar supplied with about 1 barg nitrogen holding charge.

Description of the chilling cycle with heat recovery
With reference to stardard refrigerante cycle (both for chiller and condensing units), the high pressure refrigerant that has
been separated from the oil, before reaching the condenser coil, flows trough the recovery heat eexchanger, where it
dissipates the heat (from gas de-superheating and partial condensation) , warming the water which travels through the
exchanger. On leaving the exchanger the refrigerant fluid enters the condenser coil where it is completely condensed by
forced ventilation.
In not economised units, an additional subcooler is added on the liquid line, using evaporation of a small portion of liquid,
drained from the main liquid flow and expanded to suction pressure, to guarantee subcooling of refrigerant reaching the
expansion valve.
Controlling the partial recovery circuit and installation recommendations
The heat recovery system is not managed and/or controlled by the unit to match the heat demand from the plant; the unit
load is controlled from the chilled water demand and the heat not consumed by the recovery system is rejected in the
condenser coil..
The installer should follow the suggestions below for best system performance and reliability:
Install a mechanical filter at exchanger entrances
Install sectioning valves to exclude the exchanger from the hydraulic system during periods of inactivity or during system
maintenance.
Install a discharge tap to empty the heat exchanger, in the event that air temperature can be expected to fall below 0°C
during periods of inactivity of the machine.
Interpose flexible anti-vibration joints on recuperator water input and output piping, to keep transmission of vibrations,
and therefore of noise, to the hydraulic system as low as possible.
Do not load exchanger joints with the weight of recuperator piping. Hydraulic joints of exchangers are not designed to
support their weight.
Should recovery water temperature be lower than ambient temperature, it is advised to switch off the recovery water
pump 3 minutes after having switched off the last compressor.

Compressor
The single-screw compressor is of the semi-hermetic type with asynchronous three-phase two-pole engine which is
directly splined to the main shaft. The intake gas from the evaporator cools the electrical engine before entering the
intake ports. Inside the electrical engine, there are temperature sensors completely covered by the coil winding that
constantly monitor engine temperature. Should the coil winding temperature become very high (120°C), a special
external apparatus that is connected to the sensors and to the electronic controller will de-activate the corresponding
compressor.
The compressors of EWAD100E÷210E-SS/SL, ERAD120E÷250E-SS, ERAD120E÷240E-SL units are Fr3100 and the
compressors of EWAD260E÷410E-SS, EWAD250E÷400E-SL and ERAD310E÷490E-SS, ERAD300E÷460E-SL units are
F3. Fr3100 compressor has one single satellite on the upper section of the main screw; F3 compressors have two
satellites symmetrically positioned on the main screw sides.
There are only two moving rotating parts in Fr3100 compressor and three moving parts in F3 compressors and there are
no other parts in the compressor with an eccentric and/or alternative movement.
The basic components are therefore only the main rotor and the satellites that carry out the compression process,
meshing perfectly together.
Compression sealing is done thanks to a suitably shaped special composite material that is interposed between the main
screw and the satellite. The main shaft on which the main rotor is splined is supported by 2 ball bearings. The system
made up in this way is both statically and dynamically balanced before assembly.
Figure 27 - Picture of Fr3100 compressor
Figure 28 - Picture of F3 compressor
On the upper part of Fr3100 compressor, there is a large access cover allowing quick and easy maintenance; on F3
compressor, the access to the internal parts is allowed by two covers positioned sidewise.
Compression process
With the single-screw compressor the intake, compression and discharge process takes place in a continuous manner
thanks to the satellite. In this process the intake gas penetrates into the profile between the rotor, the teeth of the satellite
and the compressor body. The volume is gradually reduced by compression of the refrigerant. The compressed gas
under high pressure is thus discharged in the built-in oil separator. In the oil separator the gas/ oil mixture and the oil are
collected in a cavity in the lower part of the compressor, where they are injected into the compression mechanisms in
order to ensure the compression’s sealing and lubrification of the ball bearings.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 55/72
1. and 2. Suction
Main rotor flutes 'a', 'b' and 'c' are in
communication at one end with the suction
chamber via the bevelled rotor end face, and
are sealed at the other end by the star rotor
teeth. As the main rotor turns, the effective
length of the flutes increases with a
corresponding increase in the volume open to
the suction chamber: Diagram 1 clearly
shows this process. As flute 'a' assumes the
position of flutes 'b' and 'c' its volume
increases, inducing suction vapour to enter
the flute.
Upon further rotation of the main rotor , the
flutes which have been open to the suction
chamber engage with the star teeth. This
coincides with each flute being progressively
sealed by the main rotor. Once the flute
volume is closed off from the suction chamber,
the suction stage of the compression cycle is
complete.

3. Compression
As the main rotor turns, the volume of gas
trapped within the flute is reduced as the
length of the flute shortens and compression
occurs.
4. Discharge
As the star rotor tooth approaches the end of
a flute, the pressure of the trapped vapour
reaches a maximum value occurring when the
leading edge of the flute begins to overlap the
triangular shaped discharge port.
Compression immediately ceases as the gas
is delivered into the discharge manifold. The
star rotor tooth continues to scavenge the flute
until the flute volume is reduced to zero. This
compression process is repeated for each
flute/star tooth in turn.

Cooling capacity control
A
The compressors are factory-equipped with a stepless cooling capacity control system.
Unloading slides reduces the groove’s intake capacity and reduces its actual length.
Unloading slides are controlled by the pressure of the oil coming from the separator or drained towards the compressor
suction; springs acts for producing the forces for moving the slide.
The oil flow is controlled by solenoid valves, according to inputs from the unit controller.
Fr3100 compressor, having one satellite, has one slide only, while F3 compressors have two unloding slides. The first
slide allows to change the load continuously while the second one has on/off operation.

Pre-startup checks
General
Once the machine has been installed, use the following procedure to check that is has been done properly:
ATTENTION
Switch off the power supply of the machine before performing any checks.
Failure to respect these rules at this stage can result in serious injury to the operator or even death.
Inspect all the electrical connections to the power circuits and to the compressors including the contactors, fuse carriers
and electrical terminals and check that they are clean and well secured. Even though this is done at the factory to every
machine that is shipped, vibrations from transport could have loosened some electrical connections.
ATTENTION
Check that the electrical terminals of cables are well tightened. A loose cable can overheat and give rise to problems
with the compressors.
Open discharge, liquid, liquid injection and intake (if installed) taps.
ATTENTION
Do not start up the compressors if the exhaust, liquid, liquid injection and intake taps are closed. Failure to open these
taps/ valves can cause serious damage to the compressor.
Place all the thermal-magnetic switches of the ventilators ( from F16 to F20 and from F26 to F30) on the On position.
ATTENTION
If all fan circuit breakers are kept off, both compressors will block due to high pressure when the machine is started up
for the first time. Resetting the high-pressure alarm requires opening the compressor compartment and resetting the
mechanical high-pressure switch.
Check the power supply voltage at the general disconnect switch terminals. The power supply voltage must be the same
as that on the nameplate. Maximum allowed tolerance ± 10%.
Voltage unbalance between the three phases must not exceed ± 3%.
The unit comes with a factory-supplied phase monitor that prevents compressors from starting in the event of an
erroneous phase sequence. Properly connect the electrical terminals to the disconnector switch so as to ensure alarmfree operation. In the even that, after the machine has been powered on, the phase monitor should set off an alarm, only
invert two phases at the general disconnect switch input (Unit input). Never invert the electrical wiring on the monitor.
ATTENTION
Starting up with the wrong sequence of phases irreparably compromises operation of the compressor. Ensure that
phases L1, L2 and L3 correspond in sequence to R, S and T.
Fill the water circuit and remove air from the system’s highest point and open the air valve above the evaporator skirt.
Remember to close it again after filling. The design pressure on the wter side of the evaporator is 10.0 bars. Never
exceed this pressure at any time during the life of the machine.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 58/72
IMPORTANT
Before placing the machine into operation, clean the hydraulic circuit. Dirt, incrustation, corrosion residue and other
extraneous material can accumulate in the heat exchanger and reduce its thermal exchange capacity. Pressure drops
can also increase, consequently reducing water flow. Thus, correct water treatment reduces the risk of corrosion,
erosion, scaling, etc. The most appropriate water treatment
must be established locally, according to the type of installation and to the characteristics of the process water locally.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage or bad operation of the apparatus resulting from failure to treat water or
from incorrectly treated water.
Units with an external water pump
Start the water pump and check the hydraulic system for any leaks; repair these if necessary. While the water pump is in
operation, adjust the water flow until the design pressure drop for the evaporator is reached. Adjust the flow switch
trigger point (not factory-supplied), to ensure operation of the machine within a ± 20% flow range.
Units with a built-in water pump
This procedure foresees factory installation of the optional single- or twin-water pump kit.
Check that switches Q0 and Q1 are in the open position (Off or 0). Also check that the circuit breaker Q12 in the
electrical panel is in the Off position.
Close the general Q10 door-block switch on the main board and move the Q12 switch to the On position.
ATTENTION
From this moment onwards, the machine will be under electrical power. Use extreme caution in subsequent operations.
A lack of attention in the subsequent operations can cause serious personal injury.
Single pump To start the water pump, press the microprocessor On/Off button and wait for the unit on message to
appear on the display. Turn the Q0 switch to the On (or 1) position to start the water pump. Adjust the water flow until
reaching the evaporator design pressure drop. Adjust the flow switch (not included) at this point, to ensure that the
machine operates within a ± 20% flow range.
Twin pump The system foresees the use of a twin pump having two motors, each as a backup to the other. The
microprocessor enables one of the two pumps with a view to minimising the number of hours and of startups. To start
one of the two water pumps, press the microprocessor On/Off button and wait for the unit on message to appear on the
display. Turn the Q0 switch to the On (or 1) position to start it. Adjust the water flow until reaching the evaporator design
pressure drop. Adjust the flow switch (not included) at this point, to ensure that the machine operates within a ± 20% flow
range. To start the second pump, keep the first one on for at least 5 minutes, then open the Q0 switch, wait for the first
pump to turn off. Close the Q0 switch again to start the second pump.
Using the microprocessor keyboard it is possible, however, to set pump startup priorities. Please see the microprocessor
manual for the relevant procedure.
Electrical power supply
The machine’s power supply voltage must be the same as that specified on the nameplate ± 10% while the voltage
unbalance between phases must not be in eccess of ± 3%. Measure the voltage between phases and if the value does
not fall within the established limits, correct it before starting the machine.
ATTENTION
Provide suitable power supply voltage. Unsuitable power supply voltage could cause malfunction of the control
components and undesired triggering of the thermal protection devices, along with a considerable reduction in the life of
the contactors and electric motors.
Unbalance in power supply voltage

Electrical heater power supply
Each compressor comes with an electrical heater located at the bottom of the compressor. Its purpose is to warm up
the lubricating oil and thus avoid the transmigration of refrigerant fluid within.
It is therefore necessary to ensure that the heaters are powered at least 24 hours before the planned startup time. To
ensure that they are activated, it is sufficient to keep the machine on by closing the general disconnecting switch Q10.
The microprocessor, however, has a series of sensors that prevent the compressor being started up when the oil
temperature is not at least 5°C above the intake-pressure equivalent saturation temperature.
Keep the Q0, Q1 and Q12 switches in the Off (or 0) position until the machine is to be started up.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 60/72
Startup procedure
Turning on the machine
1. With the general switch Q10 closed, check that switches Q0, Q1 and Q12 are in the Off (or 0) positione.
2. Close the thermal-magnetic switch Q12 and wait for the microprocessor and the control to start. Check that the
oil temperature is warm enough. The oil temperature must be at least 5 °C above the saturation temperature of
the refrigerant in the compressor. If the oil is not warm enough, it will not be possible to start the compressors
and the phrase “Oil Heating” will appear on the microprocessor display.
3. Start the water pump should the machine not be supplied with one.
4. Position the Q0 switch on the On position and wait for Unit-On/ Compressor Stand-By to appear on the display.
If the water pump is supplied with the machine, the microprocessor should start it at this point.
5. Check that the evaporator pressure drop is the same as the design pressure drop and correct it if necessary.
The pressure drop must be measured at the factory-supplied loading joints placed on the evaporator piping. Do
not measure pressure drops in points where any valves and/or filters are interposed.
6. Only at the first startup, position the Q0 switch on Off to check that the water pump stays on for three minutes
before it, too, shuts down (both the on-board pump and any external pump).
7. Move the Q0 switch to On once again.
8. Check that the local temperature setpoint is set to the required value by pressing the Set button.
9. Turn the Q1 switch to On (or 1) to start compressor #1.
10. Once the compressor has started, wait at least 1 minute for the system to start stabilising. During this time the
controller will perform a series of operations to empty the evaporator (Pre-Purge) to ensure a safe startup.
11. At the end of the Pre-Purge, the microprocessor will start loading the compressor, now running, in order to
reduce outgoing water temperature. Check the proper functioning of the loading device by measuring the
compressor’s electrical current requirement..
12. Check refrigerant evaporation and condensation pressure.
13. Check that the cooling ventilators have started, in relation to and increase in condensation pressure.
14. Check that, after the time required for the refrigerant circuit to stabilise, the liquid pilot lamp located on the tube
leading into the expansion valve is completely full (no bubbles) and that the humidity indicator shows “Dry”. The
passage of bubbles inside the liquid pilot lamp could indicate a low refrigerant level or an excessive pressure
drop through the dehydration filter or an expansion valve that is blocked at the maximum open position.
15. In addition to checking the liquid pilot lamp, check the circuit operating parameters by verifying:
- Compressor overheating during intake
- Compressor overheating during exhaust
- Undercooling of liquid coming out of the condenser batteries
- Evaporation pressure
- Condensation pressure
Except for liquid temperature and intake temperature for machines with a thermostatic valve, whcih require the use of an
external thermometer, all other measurements can be carried out by reading the relevant values directly on the onboard microprocessor display.

IMPORTANT
The symptoms of a low refrigerant charge are: low evaporation pressure, high intake and exhaust overheating (beyond
the above limits) and a low undercooling level. In this case, add R134a refrigerant to the relevant circuit. A loading joint is
foreseen in the system, between the expansion valve and the evaporator. Charge refrigerant until working conditions
return to normal.
Remember to reposition the valve cap when finished.
To turn off the machine temporarily (daily or weekend shutdown) turn the Q0 switch to Off (or 0) or open the remote
contact between terminals 58 and 59 on terminal board M3 (Installation of remote switch to be carried out by the
customer). The microprocessor will activate the shutdown procedure, which required several seconds. Three minutes
after the compressors have been shut down, th microprocessor will shut down the pump. Do not switch of the main
power supply so as not to de-activate the electrical resistances of the compressors and of the evaporator.
Liquid Subcooling
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 61/72
IMPORTANT
If the machine is not supplied with an onboard built-in pump, do not shut down the external pump before 3 minutes have
elapsed after the last compressor has shut down. Early shutdown of the pump triggers a water-flow failure alarm.
Seasonal shutdown
Turn switch Q1 to the Off (or 0) position to shut down the compressors, using the normal pumpdown procedure.
After the compressors have been shut down, turn switch Q0 to Off (or 0) and wait for the built-in water pump to shut
down. If the water pump is managed externally, wait for 3 minutes after the compressors have shut down before turning
off the pump.
Open the Q12 (Off position) thermal magnetic switch inside the control section of the electrical board then open the
general disconnector switch Q10 to cut off the machine’s power supply entirely.
Close the compressor intake taps (if any) and delivery taps and also the taps located on the liquid and liqui injection line.
Place a warning sign on every switch that has been opened, advising to open all the taps before starting the
compressors.
If no water and glycole mixture has been introduced into the system, discharge all the water from the evaporator and
from the connected piping if the machine is to remain inactive during the winter season. One must remember that once
the machine’s power supply has been cut off, the antifreeze electrical resistance cannot function. Do not leave the
evaporator and piping exposed to the atmosphere during the entire period of inactivity.
Starting up after seasonal shutdown
With the general disconnector switch open, make sure that all the electrical connections, cables, terminals and screws
are well tightened to ensure good electrical contact.
Verify that the power supply voltage applied to the machine is within ± 10% of the nominal nameplate voltage and that
the voltage unbalance between phases is between ± 3%.
Verify that all control apparatus is in good condition and functioning and that there is a suitable thermal load for startup.
Verify that all the connection valves are well tightened and that there are no refrigerant leaks. Always reposition the valva
caps.
Verify that switches Q0, Q1 and Q12 are in the open position (Off). Turn the general disconnector switch Q10 to the On
position. Doing this will allow to turn on the electrical resistances of the compressors. Wait at least 12 hours for them to
start up.
Open all intake, delivery, liquid and liquid injection taps. Always reposition tap covers.
Open the water valves to fill the system and bleed air from the evaporator through the air valve installed on its shell.
Verify that there are is no water leakage from piping.

System maintenance
WARNING
All routine and extraordinary maintenance activities on the machine must be carried out solely by qualified personnel who
is personally familiar with the apparatus, with its functioning, with the correct servicing procedures and who know all the
safety requirements and are aware of the dangers.
WARNING
It 's absolutely forbidden to remove all the protections of the moving parts of the unit
WARNING
The causes of repeated shutdowns deriving from triggering of safety devices must be investigated and put right.
Only resetting the alarm can heavily damage the unit.
WARNING
A correct refrigerant and oil charge is essential for optimal operation of the machine and for environmental protection.
Any oil and refrigerant recovery must conform to legislation in force.
General
IMPORTANT
Besides the checks suggested in the routine maintenance program, it is recommended to schedule periodical inspections
by qualified personnel according to as follows:
4 inspections per year (1 every 3 months) for units running about 365 days per year;
2 inspections per year (1 at seasonal start-up and the second one in the middle of the season) for units running about
180 days per year with seasonal operation.
It is important that during initial startup and periodically during operation, routine verifications and checks are performed.
These must also include verification of intake and condensation pressure and the glass pilot lamp place on the liquid line.
Verify through the on-board microprocessor that the machine operates within the normal overheating and undercooling
parameter. A recommended routine maintenance programme is shown at the end of this chapter while a form for
collecting operation data can be found at the end of this manual. Weekly recording of all the machine’s operating
parameters is recommended. Collecting this data will be very useful to the technicians in the event that technical
assistance is called for.
Compressor maintenance
IMPORTANT
Since the compressor is of the semi-hermetic type, it requires no scheduled maintenance. However, for granting the
highest levels of performance and efficiency and for preventing malfunctions, it is recommended, about every 10.000
running hours, a visual check about wear status of the satellites and mating tolerances for the main screw and the
satellite.
Such inspection has to be carried out by qualified and trained personnel.
The analysis of vibrations is a good method for verifying the mechanical conditions of the compressor.
Verification of vibration readings immediately after startup and periodically on an annual basis is recommended. The
compressor load will need to be similar to the previous measurement’s load to ensure measurement reliability.

McEnergy units do not require a routine procedure for lubrication of components. The ventilator bearings have
permanent lubrication and no additional lubrication is therefore required.
Compressor oil is of the synthetic type and is highly hygroscopic. It is therefore advised to limit its exposition to the
atmosphere during the storage and loading phases. It is recommended that the oil be exposed to the atmosphere for no
more than 10 minutes.
The compressor oil filter is positioned under the oil separator (delivery side). Its replacement is advised when its pressure
drop exceeds 2.0 bars. The pressure drop through the oil filter is the difference between the compressor delivery
pressure and the oil pressure. Both these pressures can be controlled through the microprocessor for both compressors.

Dehydration filter replacement
It is strongly advised that the dehydration filter cartridges be replaced in the event of a considerable pressure drop across
the filter itself or of a passage of bubbles through the liquid pilot lamp while the undercooling value is within the accepted
limits.
Replacement of the cartridges is advised when the pressure drop across the filter reaches 50 kPa with the compressor
under full load.
The cartridges must also be replaced when the humidity indicator inside the liquid pilot lamp changes color and shows
excessive humidity, or when the periodic oil test reveals the presence of acidity (TAN is too high)
Dehydration filter cartridge replacement procedure
ATTENTION
Ensure proper water flow through the evaporator during the entire servicing period. Interrupting the water flow during this
procedure would cause the evaporator to freeze, with consequent breakage of internal piping.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 65/72
Shut down the relevant compressor by turning the Q1 or Q2 switch to Off
Wait until the compressor has stopped and close the tap located on the liquid line
Start the relevant compressor by turning the Q1 or Q2 switch to On.
Check the relevant evaporation pressure on the microprocessor display.
When the evaporation pressure reaches 100 kPa turn the Q1 or Q2 switch again to turn off the compressor.
Once the compressor has stopped, place a label on the compressor startup switch that is under maintenance, to prevent
undesired startups.
Close the compressor intake tap (if any).
Using a recovery unit remove surplus refrigerant from the liquid filter, until atmospheric pressure is reached. The
refrigerant must be stored in a suitable and clean container.
ATTENTION
To protect the environment, do not release removed refrigerant into the atmosphere. Always use a recovery and storage
device.
Balance internal pressure with external pressure by pressing the valve vacuum pump installed on the filter cover.
Remove the dehydration filter cover.
Remove the filtering elements.
Install the new filtering elements within the filter.
Replace the cover gasket. Do not allow any mineral oil onto the filter gasket so as not to contaminate the circuit. Use only
compatible oil for this purpose (POE).
Close the filter cover.
Connect the vacuum pump to the filter and evacuate up to 230 Pa.
Close the vacuum pump tap.
Recharge the filter with the refrigerant recovered during emptying.
Open the liquid line tap.
Open the intake tap (if any).
Start the compressor by turning switch Q1.
Oil filter replacement
ATTENTION
The lubrication system has been designed to keep most of the oil charge inside the compressor. During operation,
however, a limited quantity of oil circulates freely in the system, conveyed by the refrigerant. The quantity of replacement
oil going into the compressor should therefore be equal to the quantity removed and not to the total quantity appearing
on the nameplate; this will avoid there being too much oil at the following startup.
The quantity of oil removed from the compressor must be measured after having allowed the refrigerant present in this
oil to evaporate for a suitable amount of time. To reduce the refrigerant content in the oil to a minimum, it is advised that
the electrical resistances be kept on and that the oil be removed only when it has reached a temperature of 35÷45°C.
ATTENTION
Oil filter replacement requires the best attention on the eventual oil recovering; the oil cannot be exposed to air for more
than about 30 minutes.
In case of doubts, verify oil acidity or, if it is no possible to carry out the measurement, replace the oil with other one
stored in sealed tanks or stored complying with the supplier specifications.
The compressor oil filter is located under the oil separator (discharge side). It is strongly advised that it be replaced when
its pressure drop exceeds 2.0 bars. The pressure drop across the oil filter is the difference between the compressor
delivery pressure minus oil pressure. Both these pressure can be controlled through the microprocessor for both
compressors.
Compatible oils:
Daphne PVE Hermetic oil FCV 68DICI Emkarate RL 68H
Oil filter replacement procedure
1) Shut down both compressors by turning the switch to the Off position.
2) Turn the Q0 switch to Off, wait for the circulation pump to turn off and open the general disconnector switch Q10
to cut off the machine’s electrical power supply.
3) Place a plate on the handle of the general disconnector switch in order to prevent accidental startups.
4) Close the suction, discharge and liquid injection valves.
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 66/72
5) Connect the recuperator to the compressor and recover the refrigerant in a suitable and clean storage
Note:
container.
6) Evacuate the refrigerant until the internal pressure has turned negative (compared to atmospheric pressure).
The amount of refrigerant dissolved in the oil is reduced to a minimum in this way.
7) Remove the oil in the compressor by opening the discharge valve located under the motor
8) Remove the oil filter cover and remove the internal filtering element.
9) Replace the cover and internal sleeve gasket. Do not lubricate the gaskets with mineral oil in order not to
contaminate the system.
10) Insert the new filtering element.
11) Reposition the filter closing cover and tighten the screws. The screws must be tightened alternately and
progressively setting the torque wrench at 60Nm.
12) Charge the oil from the upper tap located on the oil separator. Considering the high hygroscopicity of ester oil, it
should be charged as quickly as possible. Do not expose ester oil to the atmosphere for more than 10 minutes.
13) Close the oil charging tap.
14) Connect the vacuum pump and evacuate the compressor up to a vacuum level of 230 Pa.
15) On reaching the abovesaid vacuum level, close the vacuum pump tap.
16) Open the system’s discharge, suction and liquid injection valves.
17) Disconnect the vacuum pump from the compressor.
18) Remove the warning plate from the general disconnector switch.
19) Close the general disconnecting switch Q10 to supply power to the machine.
20) Start the machine by following the startup procedure described above.
Refrigerant charge
ATTENTION
The units have been designed to function with R134a refrigerant. So DO NOT USE refrigerants other than R134a.
WARNING
When refrigerant gas is added to or removed from the system, ensure proper water flow through the evaporator for the
entire charge/discharge time. Interrupting the water flow during this procedure would cause the evaporator to freeze with
consequent breakage of its internal piping.
Damage from freezing voids the warranty.
ATTENTION
Removal of the refrigerant and replenishing operations must be performed by technicians who are qualified to use the
appropriate materials for this unit. Unsuitable maintenance can result in uncontrolled losses in pressure and fluid. Do
not disperse the refrigerant and lubricating oil in the environment. Always be equipped with a suitable recovery system.
The units ship with a full refrigerant charge, but in some cases it could be necessary to replenish the machine in the field.
WARNING
Always verify the causes of a loss of refrigerant. Repair the system if necessary then recharge it.
The machine can be replenished under any stable load condition (preferably between 70 and 100%) and under any
ambient temperature condition (preferably above 20°C). The machine should be kept on for at least 5 minutes to allow
the ventilator steps, and thus the condensation pressure, to stabilise.
Approximately 15% of the condenser batteries is dedicated to subcool the liquid refrigerant. The subcooling value is
approximately 5-6°C (10-15°C for the economised machines).
Once the subcooling section has been completely filled, additional refrigerant does not increase system efficiency.
However, a small additional quantity of refrigerant (1÷2 kg) makes the system slightly less sensitive.
When the load and the number of active fans vary, so does the subcooling and it requires several minutes to
stabilise again. However, it should never fall below 3°C under any condition. Also, the subcooling value can change
slightly as the water temperature and the intake overheating vary. As the intake overheating value decreases, there is a
corresponding decrease in subcooling.
One of the following two scenarios can arise in a machine without refrigerant:
D–EIMAC00704-14EN - 67/72
If the refrigerant level is slightly low, the passage of bubbles can be seen through the liquid pilot lamp. Replenish the
circuit as described in the replenishment procedure.
If the gas level in the machine is moderately low, the corresponding circuit could have some low-pressure stops.
Replenish the corresponding circuit as described in the replenishment procedure.
Refrigerant replenishment procedure
If the machine has exhausted the refrigerant, it is necessary first of all to establish the causes, before carrying out any
replenishment operation. The leak must be looked for and repaired. Oil stains are a good indicator, as they can appear
in the vicinity of a leak. However, this is not necessarily always a good search criterion. Searching with soap and water
can be a good method for medium to large leaks, while an electronic leak searching device is required to find the position
of small leaks.
Add refrigerant to the system through the service valve located on the intake pipe or through the Schrader valve located
on the evaporator entry pipe.
The refrigerant can be added under any load condition between 25 and 100% of the circuit. Intake overheating must be
between 4 and 6°C.
Add enough refrigerant to fill the liquid pilot lamp entirely, until the passage of bubbles inside stops. Add an extra 2 ÷ 3 kg
of refrigerant as a reserve, to fill the undercooler if the compressor is operating at 50 – 100% load.
Check the undercooling value by taking the liquid pressure and the liquid’s temperature near the expansion valve. The
undercooling value must be between 4 and 8 °C and between 10 and 15°C machines with an economiser. The
undercooling value will be lower 75 to 100% of the load and above 50% of the load.
With ambient temperature above 16°C, all ventilators should be on.
A system overcharge will entail a rise in the compressor’s discharge pressure, owing to excessive filling of the condenser
section pipes.

Standard Checks
Temperature and Pressure Transducers
The unit comes factory-equipped with all the sensors listed below. Periodically check that their measurements are correct
by means of sample instruments (manometers, thermometers); correct readings if necessary using the microprocessor
keyboard. Well-calibrated sensors ensure better efficiency for the machine and a longer lifetime.
Note: refer to the microprocessor use and maintenance manual for a complete description of applications, setting and
adjustments.
All sensors are preassembled and connected to the microprocessor. The descriptions of each sensor are listed below:
Evaporator fluid leaving temperature sensor – This sensor is located on the evaporator outgoing water connection
and is used by the microprocessor to control the machine’s load according to the system’s thermal load. It also performs
the evaporator’s antifreeze protection.
Evaporator fluid entering temperature sensor – This sensor is located on the evaporator ingoing water connection
and is used for monitoring the return water temperature.
External air temperature sensor – Optional. This sensor allows to monitor the external air temperature on the
microprocessor display. It is also used to carry out the “OAT setpoint override”.
Compressor delivery pressure transducer – This is installed on every compressor and allows to monitor the delivery
pressure and to control the ventilators. Should a increase in condensation pressure arise, the microprocessor will control
the compressor load in order to allow it to function even if choked. It contributes to complementing the oil control logic.
Oil pressure transducer - This is installed on every compressor and allows to monitor the oil pressure. Using this
sensor, the microprocessor informs the operator on the conditions of the oil filter and on how the lubrication system is
functioning. By working together with the high- and low-pressure transducers, it protects the compressor from problems
deriving from poor lubrication.
Low-pressure transducer – This is installed on every compressor and allow to monitor the compressor intake pressure
along with low pressure alarms. It contributes to complementing the oil control logic.
Compressor discharge temperature sensor – This is installed on each compressor and allows to monitor compressor
discharge temperature and oil temperature. The microprocessor controls liquid injection by means of this sensor and
shuts down the compressor in case of alarm in the event that the discharge temperature reaches 110°C. It also protects
the compressor from possible startups with liquid.
