Contents
The unit purchases is a Water Chiller and/or a Heat Pump, that is a machine designed to cool/heat the water (or a water-glycol mixture) within certain limits which will be listed below. The unit operates based on the compression, condensation and evaporation of the coolant gas, according to the Carnot cycle, and is composed mainly of the following parts depending on the Mode of Operation.
Cooling or Conditioning Mode:
- One or more scroll compressors that increase the pressure of the refrigerant gas from evaporation to condensation pressure.
- A condenser where the refrigerant gas under high pressure condenses transferring the heat to the water.
- Expansion valve allowing to reduced the pressure of condensed liquid refrigerant from condensation pressure to evaporation pressure.
- Evaporator, where the low pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates chilling the water
Heating Mode or Heat Pump:
- One or more scroll compressors that increase the pressure of the refrigerant gas from evaporation to condensation pressure.
- A 4-way valve which enables the inversion of the
refrigeration cycle.
- A heat exchanger in which the refrigerant condenses heating the water.
- Expansion valve allowing to reduced the pressure of condensed liquid from condensation pressure to evaporation pressure.
- A heat exchanger where the low pressure refrigerant evaporate removing the heat from the water.
- The operation of the heat exchangers can be inverted using the 4-way valve, with which the use of the heating/cooling unit can be seasonally inverted.

the equipment’s documents please refer to on board
documents. In case of any doubt contact the manufacturer representative. The purpose of this manual is to allow the installer and the qualified operator to ensure proper, commissioning, operation and maintenance, without any risk to people, animals or things.
Receiving the unit
The unit must be inspected for any possible damage immediately upon reaching final place of installation. All components described in the delivery note must be inspected and checked. Should there be evidence of damage, do not remove the damaged components and immediately report the extent and type of damage both to the transportation company, asking them to inspect it, and the manufacturer's representative, sending if possible photos which may be useful in identifying the responsibilities. Damage must not be repaired before the inspection of the transportation company representative and the manufacturer's representative. Before installing the unit, check that the model and power supply voltage shown on the nameplate are correct. Responsibility for any damage after acceptance cannot be attributed to the manufacturer.
Storage
The unit must be protected from dust, rain, constant exposure to the sun and possible corrosive agent when being stored outside before installation. Even though it is covered by a heat-shrinking plastic sheet, it is not intended for long-term storage and must be removed as soon as the unit is unloaded. It must in fact be protected by tarpaulins and the like which are more suitable for the long term. Environmental conditions must be within the following limits: Minimum ambient temperature: -20°C Maximum ambient temperature: +42°C Maximum relative humidity: 95% without condensation. If the unit is stored at a temperature under the minimum ambient temperature, the components could be damaged, while at a temperature above the maximum ambient temperature, the safety valves could open and discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. Lastly, storage in places with condensation of humidity can damage the electric components.

contact immediately emergency rescue personnel of
the building or the Health Emergency Service
wait without leaving the injured person alone until
the rescue operators come
Give all necessary information to the rescue
operators.
Positioning and assembly
The unit must be installed on a sturdy and perfectly level foundation. For the earthing, a resistant base is cement must be created with a width greater than that of the unit. This base must be able to support its weight.
Anti-vibration supports must be installed between the frame of the unit and the cement base of the steel beams; for their installation follow the dimensional drawing provided with the unit. The frame of theunit must be perfectly levelled during installation, if necessary using shims to be inserted under the anti-vibrators. Before the first start-up, it is mandatory that the installation be verified as being level and horizontal using a laser level or another suitable instrument. The error in the levelness and the horizontal position must not be greater than 5 mm per unit up to 7 metres and 10mm per unit over 7 metres.
If the unit is installed in places that are easily accessible to people and animals, we recommend that protection grates be assemble all around to prevent free access. To guarantee the best performance in the place of installation, the following precautions and instructions must be respected:
- Make sure to provide a strong and solid foundation to reduce noise and vibrations.
- Avoid installing the unit in areas that could be dangerous during maintenance operations, such as platforms without parapets, railings or areas not complying with the requirements to leave a clearance space all the way around it. Respect the minimum access distances around the unit:
- 1500 mm in front of the electric panel;
- 1000 mm on all the other sides. For further solutions, please consult manufacturer representative.

Noise
The noise generated by the unit is mainly due to the rotation of compressors. The noise level for each model size is listed in sales documentation. If the unit is correctly installed, operated and maintained the noise emission level do not require any special protection device to operate continuously close to the unit without any risk. In case of installation with special noise requirements it could be necessary to install additional sound attenuation devices.
Handling and lifting
The unit must be lifted with the utmost care and attention, following the lifting instructions shows on the
Figure 3 - Handling of the single circuit unit
label applied to the electric panel. Lift the unit very slowly, keeping it perfectly level. Avoid bumping and/or shaking the unit during the handling and loading/unloading operations from the transportation vehicle, push or pull the unit only using the base frame. Secure the unit inside the truck to prevent it from moving and causing damages. Do not allow any part of the unit to fall during loading/unloading. All units have lifting points marked in yellow. Only these points may be used for lifting the unit, as shown in the following figure. The handling and lifting with a fork lift is the only alternative method.
Both the lifting ropes and the spacing bars must be strong enough to support the unit safely. Check the weight of the unit on its name plate, because the weight of the units varies depending on the accessories requested.

Sound protection
When sound levels require special control, great care must be exercised to isolate the unit from its base by appropriately applying anti-vibrating elements. Flexible joints must be installed on the water connections, as well.
Hydraulic circuit for connection to the unit
The pipes must be designed with the lowest number of elbows 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:
1. Anti-vibrating pipes which reduce the transmission
of vibrations to the structures.
2. Isolating valves to isolate the unit from the water
system of the installation during service operations.
3. Manual or automatic air venting device at the
system’s highest point.; drain device at the system’s
lowest point.
4. Neither the evaporator nor the heat recovery device
must be positioned at the system’s highest point.
5. A suitable device that can maintain the water
system under pressure.
6. Water temperature and pressure indicators to assist
the operator during service and maintenance.
7. A water filter or a device that can remove particles
from the liquid and is mandatory at the entry of the evaporator. The filter can be installed at the entrance of the pump when it is placed on the input pipe of the water of the evaporator, only if the cleanliness of the water installation between the pump and the evaporator is guaranteed. Any slag in the evaporator causes the warranty of the unit to be forfeited.
8. If the unit is being replaced, empty and clean the
entire water system before installing a new one and prior to starting it conduct adequate tests and chemical treatments of the water.
9. If glycol is added to the water system to provide anti-
freeze protection, the performance of the unit will decrease. All unit-protection systems, such as anti­freeze, and low-pressure protection will need to be readjusted.
10. Before insulating water piping, check that there are
no leaks.
11. Check that the pressure of the water does not
exceed the design pressure of the water side heat exchangers and install a safety valve on the pipe of the water.
12. Install a suitable expansion.
CAUTION:
To avoid damages, install a filter that can be
inspected on the water pipes at the entry to the
heat exchangers.
Insulation of the pipes
The complete water circuit, including all the pipes, must be insulated to avoid condensate from forming and reducing the cooling capacity. Protect the water pipes from freezing during the winter (using for example a glycol solution or a heating cable).
Installing the flow switch
To guarantee sufficient water flow to the entire evaporator, it is mandatory that a flow switch be installed on the water circuit which can be positioned on the incoming or outgoing water pipes. The purpose of the flow switch is to stop the unit in the event of interrupted water flow, thus protecting the evaporator from freezing. The manufacturer may offer a flow switch specially selected for this purpose. This paddle-type flow switch is suitable for heavy-duty applications. It has a clean contact that is electrically connected to the terminals shown in the wiring diagram, and must be calibrated so that it intervenes when the flow of the water of the evaporator drops below 80% of the nominal flow and in any case within the limits listed in the following table.
Preparation, check and connection of the water circuit
The units have a water input and output for the connection of the chiller to water circuit of the system. This circuit must be connected to the unit by an authorised technician and must comply with all the current national and European regulations on the subject.
NOTE - The components listed below are not included with the unit, but are supplied upon request, also if their installation is compulsory.
If dirt penetrates the water circuit, there could be problems. Therefore always remember the following when connecting the water circuit:
1.
Only use pipes that are clean inside.
2. Keep the end of the pipe facing downward when removing the burrs.
3. Cover the end of the pipe when inserting it through a wall to avoid dust and dirt getting in.
4. Clean the pipes of the system located between the filter and the unit, with running water, before connecting it to the system.

The water in the system must be particularly clean and all traces of oil and rust must be removed. Install a mechanical filter at the entry of every heat exchanger. The failure to install a mechanical filter allows solid particles and/or welding burrs to get inside the exchanger. We recommend installing a filter with a filtering mesh with holes not larger than 1.1mm in diameter. The manufacturer cannot be maintained responsible for any damage to the exchangers if the mechanical filters are not installed.
Water treatment
Before putting the unit into operation, clean the water circuit. Dirt, scales, debris and other material can accumulate inside the heat exchanger and reduce both its heat exchanging capacity and the flow of the water. An adequate treatment of the water can reduce the risk of corrosion, erosion, scale formation, etc. The must suitable treatment must be selected depending on the place of installation, considering the water system and the characteristics of the water. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages or malfunctions of the equipment The quality of the water must comply with the specifications listed in the following table.
The pressure of the water must exceed the
maximum operating pressure anticipated for the unit. NOTE - Plan adequate protections in the water circuit to
make sure that the pressure of the water never exceeds the maximum limit allowed.
