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.
D-EIMWC01208-16EN - 4/24
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.
