2. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
Refer to IM (Installation manual) LINK TO PNC OF THE UNIT FIND IN WEB
Refer to the installation drawing for information about supply power connection and general clearances of the
unit sides from walls and ceiling.
1. Insulation bottom and ramp ( only model 150 200kg)
2. Marine feet: guarantee free access to the unit rear side.
3. Remote configuration: see IMPORTANT note at 2.7.1.
According to IEC/EN 60335-2-89 and IEC/EN ISO 23953, room requirements depend on the unit climatic class:
see the table below.
For the specific unit climatic class refer to the installation manual and to the unit data plate.
The instructions below are general guidelines, but they do contain the major points that shall be taken into account for proper and safe product installation for assuring best performances and preventing warranty voidance.
Caution: Refrigeration systems are pressurized circuits! It is therefore of the utmost importance that
the condensing units are removed and / or installed only by technically qualified personnel, with
knowledge of the equipment and of the processes to be adopted.
2.6.2 General Information
Inspect the unit for detecting possible damages occurred during the transport: report to the carrier immediately if any damage.
The warranty does not cover damage due to storage, transport or installation of the condensing unit
carried out in the wrong position.
Warning: Make sure you have read and understand all procedures and caution messages before
you execute any maintenance or installation tasks! It is imperative – for your own safety - that the testing
devices used are functioning well and properly sized.
2.6.3 Basic Installation – Overview
The installation site shall be well ventilated, ensuring that there will be sufficient air flow behind the condenser
(refer to Figure 1)
Figure 1 – Natural airflow through the roof
If the flow of air to the condenser is limited (or even partially blocked), system performance and reliability can be
drastically reduced. Condensing units are designed to operate at ambient temperatures up to 43°C (110°F).
Therefore, make sure that the temperature at the installation site does not exceed the recommended limit.
Warning: it is necessary to periodically clean the condenser, so that no particles damage or block
the air circulation.

2.6.4 Installation Steps
INFORMATION:
Select and size the equipment needed to assemble the refrigeration system according to the project specifications
(pipes, valves, accessories, condensing unit). Carefully observe the scope for each model.
IMPORTANT: Size pipe/hose based on the condensing unit dimensions (do not size based on the evapo-
rator).
A. Phases
1. Weld the pipes to the condensing unit and evaporator connections. Check the seal (leak test) in
all soldered or threaded connections.
2. Obtain the vacuum in the circuit (check with the pressure gauge if the vacuum is stable).
3. Fill the required refrigerant mass (kg): the gas should preferably be charged in the liquid phase.
4. To ascertain the correct behavior of the system, switch ON and monitor:
a. Low/high pressures
b. Liquid/gas lines suction temperatures
5. If detecting low performance or excessive pressures, fine tune the set up by either filling more
refrigerant or discharging it until reaching the correct pressures/temperatures (see below additional general notes for more details).
B. Refrigerant mass set up:
•Taking into account both the temperature set on the BCF chamber and the temperature where the remote
condenser is installed, when the liquid/gas lines suction temperature gets closer to the design values, proceed
with the final adjustments (phase 5 mentioned above).
•The superheating at the evaporator (given by the difference between temperatures at the piping surface at
the point where the expansion valve's bulb is fixed, and the evaporation temperature
5°C and 10°C (9°F and 18°F). Superheating at the compressor’s inlet must be between 10°C and 15°C
(18°F and 27°F), where in such case it is the difference between the temperature at the surface of the return
pipe, at a distance 150 mm (6") from the compressor, and the evaporation temperature. The sub-cooling in
the condenser shall be between 3°C and 10°C (5°F and 18°F), i.e., the condensing temperature less than
the temperature at the pipe's surface at the condenser's outlet.
(*) Evaporation temperature obtained by converting the suction pressure into temperature.
C. Cleaning the System (in case condensing unit replacement):
•Cleaning the system before installing a new condensing unit is mandatory to completely remove residues and
other contaminants.
•The manufacturer recommends the installation of a filter-dryer at the suction line during the cleaning operation
to retain and filter any undesired particles
•It is recommended to make the joints by braze-welding
D. Welding operations:
•While welding keep nitrogen (N2) circulating into the pipes with a pressure between 1 and 2 psig (equivalent
to 1.08 - 1.15 bar): this will prevent oxidations and scale forming, hence ensuring that the piping is free from
any contaminants (oil, grease, oxides).
•Use a damp cloth when welding valves or fittings or pipes to prevent the components overheatingbecause of
the heat propagation.
•The compressor and the filter- dryer are extremely susceptible to humidity. As such, they shall only be opened
during installation or replacement phases. In case of opening, do not leave them exposed to air for more than
10 min.
(*)) shall be between

E. Leakage test
•During the system leakage tests, never pressurize the pipes using air, oxygen or acetylene. There is a poten-
tial risk of fire and/or explosion.
•After the installation is finished, pressurize the system using nitrogen and/or a small refrigerant charge up to
100 psig (equivalent to 7,8 bar); never use pressures higher than 150 psig (equivalent to 11.35 bar) for preventing the low-pressure switch damage.
.
(Figure 2) Leakage tests with soapy water bubbles
•Check for leaks using an electronic detector or a halide detector (torch). An alternative method is to check
leakage with soapy water bubbles (see Figure 2). When all fittings are properly checked, depressurize the
system and go to the next step.
2.6.5 System Evacuation
Warning: Never use the compressor itself to evacuate the system, nor energize the system when it
is under vacuum, as it may cause the compressor be damaged because of short-circuit caused by overload.
To evacuate the system, use a high vacuum pump and a vacuum gage. The system shall be evacuated up to
0,5mmHg (equivalent to 0,0066bar) or less. In any case, at least 20 minutes of vacuum must be applied (see
Figure 3)
Figure 3 – Vaccum operation scheme
Warning: Never use anti-freeze elements (methyl alcohol and derivates), as they cause irreversible
damages to the cooling system.
2.6.6 Procedures for Refrigerant Charge
The refrigerant shall only be charged after the proper vacuum has been achieved. Please check on the compressor or condensing unit tag what is the type of refrigerant that should be used to charge the system. Break the
vacuum only when the compressor is switched off.
DOCNUMBER595R495 24
SERVICE MANUAL Blast Chiller Freezer 100 - 200
It is recommended that the refrigerant charge be provided in the liquid state (with the compressor switched off),
through the high side (tank liquid valve) and by the refrigerant mass measurement (kg), according to the system
specification.
Wait for 15 minutes before switching on the system again, to allow the gas to be evenly distributed and balance
the pressure levels.
The fine-tuning of the refrigerant charge must be done while the system is running (compressor switched on), by
observing the sight glass. The charge will be complete when there are no more bubbles forming.
When performing a condensing unit replacement always check the specified refrigerant charge.
2.6.7 Piping
Piping shall be sized so that:
It is flexible, to avoid rupture due to expansion and due to the transmission of vibration usually caused by compressors.
Ensure that the refrigerant is well distributed through the evaporator(s), and prevent the liquid from flowing back
to the compressor. To do that, use an expansion valve with proper dimensions, and an inverted siphon at the
outlet of each evaporator.
Figure 4 – Evaporator under the condensing unit
Prevent the liquid from flowing back to the compressor when the system stops and the evaporator(s) is/are located
above the Condensing Unit, using an inverted siphon and suction accumulator (see Figure 4).
Aid the return of lubricating oil coming from the evaporator(s) to the system where the Condensing Unit is located
over 3000 mm above the evaporator(s), using an inverted siphon every 3000 mm in the piping.
Allow secondary operations, such as attaching measurement instruments, isolating stretches for maintenance
purposes and pump down.
Warning: The diameter of the fittings for the condensing units and evaporators shall not be used as
a parameter to select the diameters of the other system components.
Warning: After replacement the condensing unit and its accessories must be handled and recycled
according to the material group (ferrous, non-ferrous, polymers, oils,) directives. These recommendations are intended to minimize the adverse impacts on the environment.

Suction Accumulator
2.6.8 Basic Accessories of a Cooling System
Filter-Dryer
Installed at the liquid line, its function is to retain particles and mainly remove
residual humidity from the system.
Sight Glass
It is installed at the liquid line, just after the filter -dryer and used to monitor
the system refrigerant charge. Some models also allow humidity detection.
Pressure Control
Some Condensing Units are fitted with High / Low Pressure Switches. Their
function is to prevent the compressor from operating under pressure levels
that are outside of their application range.
Solenoid Valve
It is installed at the liquid line, prior to the expansion valve and used for the
pump down procedure.
Oil Separator
It is installed at the discharge line, when the evaporator is below the compressor's height (long distances)
It is installed at the suction line, just before the compressor. It prevents liquid
refrigerant from flowing back towards the compressor.
Conditions that favor the flow-back of liquid to the compressor and where the
use of a suction accumulator is recommended:
• Systems with more than one evaporator
• High refrigerant charges
• Operations with defrosting by hot gas
• Where the distance from the compressor to the evaporator is over 15 me-
ters (50 feet)
•Evaporator(s) above the condensing unit
Fan Speed Control
DOCNUMBER595R495 26
The Fan Speed Control controls the head pressure in air-cooled condensers
by reducing the fan speed to maintain head pressure as the outside temperatures/condenser pressure drops. As the motor speed drops under lower ambient/load condition fan noise is also reduced.
SERVICE MANUAL Blast Chiller Freezer 100 - 200
Fuse plug
melt part replace with new one
Schrader Valve
Used for service operation (Refrigerant Charge).
Suction Filter
It is recommended to clean the systems if the compressor has burned out. Installed at the suction line, its main task is to retain the contaminants (result of
the burning of the compressor), and to retain system particles.
A/C systems can include a pressure release valve that is usually mounted at
the compressor or fuse plug mounted on the receiver dryer.The relief valve can
open at a preset pressure and then reclose.The center of the fuse plug melts
to let pressure escape. In case of release the
same capacity.
DOCNUMBER595R495 27
SERVICE MANUAL Blast Chiller Freezer 100 - 200
2.6.9 Expansion Valve
It is installed at the liquid line, before the evaporator.
Its function is to keep the pressure different between the condenser and the evaporator; it also adjusts the refrigerant flow within the evaporator. For systems operating under low evaporating temperatures (lower than -17.7°C
(0°F), it is recommended using an expansion valve fit with MOP (Maximum Operation Pressure), to protect the
compressor against high pressures during the suction phase at the start of the procedure.
2.6.10 Setting the Expansion valve
The valve is already set from factory in the standard condition and it is suitable for most installations.
If adjustment is needed, it is possible proceeding by means of the expansion valve rod adjustment.
By rotating the rod clockwise, the expansion valve overheat increases, while turning the rod counterclockwise
then it will decrea the overheating
IMPORTANT: Turn the rod maximum 45° each time; wider rotations will provoke flash-gas!
To eliminate evaporator swing, increase overheating by turning the rod clockwise until it stops.
Rotate the rod anticlockwise step by step until the swing will reappear.
From this position, turn the rod 45° clockwise.
When the calibration is done (swing approximately at the average), the refrigerator will no longer swing and the
evaporator can be considered as working at full capacity (see Figure 5).
If overheating in the evaporator is too high, this may be either due to an insufficient refrigerant fluid mass or to a
insufficiend dimension of the thermostatic valve (thermostatic valve not sized correctly).
Note: Variations of the overheating of ± 0.5 ° C are not considered swing.
Figure 5
2.6.11 Correct position of the thermostatic bulb
It is recommended to mount the bulb on a horizontal section of the suction line as close to the evaporator as
possible and in a position corresponding to the watch hands between 1 and 4.
Figure 6
DOCNUMBER595R495 28
SERVICE MANUAL Blast Chiller Freezer 100 - 200
The position depends on the external diameter of the tube.
When the suction pipe has an outside diameter of 16 mm or less, it can be secured both in the positions (see
Figure7):
a. above the suction line
b. by the side of its own path, in horizontal position
Figure 7
When the tube has a diameter greater than 16 mm, the bulb must be secured beneath the horizontal axis of the
tubing itself to form a 45 ° angle with the same horizontal axis (see Figure 8)
Figure 8
Warning
The bulb must never be mounted at the bottom of the suction line, as it will re-
:
ceive false control pulses due to the oil present at the bottom of the tube itself.
2.6.12 Identification of the thermostatic valve
The thermostatic element is equipped with a laser engraving on the top of the membrane (see Figure 9).
This engraving indicates the type of valve (with the numerical code), the field of evaporation temperature, MOP
point, the refrigerant and the maximum operating pressure and the type of nozzle installed
Figure 9
DOCNUMBER595R495 29
SERVICE MANUAL Blast Chiller Freezer 100 - 200
2.6.13 Charge MOP
All MOP valves have a very small charge in the bulb.
This means that the valve or the element should be placed in the hottest position of the bulb otherwise a charge
migration may occur from the bulb to the element and the expansion valve will stop working.
The MOP charge has a limited charge in the bulb.
MOP means Maximum Operating Pressure (sometimes called “Motor Overload Protection”) and is the maximum
suction / evaporation pressure allowed in the suction / evaporation line.
The refrigerant liquid will evaporate when the temperature reaches the MOP point. As the suction pressure increases, the expansion valve starts reducing the pressure to 0.3 / 0.4 bar, below the MOP point, until fully closing
when the suction pressure will be equal to the MOP point.
2.6.14 Quantity of refrigerant to charge
The exact quantity of refrigerant to charge (see Figure 10) in the system depends on:
Figure 10
Data plate identification (in case of remote unit the reference are points 2 and 3)
Liquid container receiver (max quantity in kg of refrigerant)
Liquid spy (see Figure 11) on the system.(where present)
Figure 11
COMPLETE OPERATIONS IN SUMMARY - After correct cleaning and vacuum of the system:
a) Start to charge the refrigerant on suction/service pipe on the compressor.
b) Keep the appliance door opened
c) Switched ON the appliance
d) Charge a small amount of refrigerant step by step without freezing the pipe until air bubbles show on liquid spy.
e) Close the door and verify the evaporation pressure.
f) Check the overheating on external pipe of evaporator following the evaporation pressure/temperature
g) Check for presence of swing of pressure due to thermostatic valve (refer to chapter 2.5.10)
h) In case of swings, set the valve or add refrigerant.
Warnings: Do not provoke flash gas!!!!! The pipe must be slightly cooled not frozen!!
