Unit description
In cooling mode, the unit (an
air-cooled chiller) takes heat out
of the operating medium to be
cooled, water or a mixture of
water and glycol, within a closed
medium cycle in the evaporator
(plate heat exchanger) and passes
it on to the closed cooling cycle.
As a consequence of the heat
exchange, the medium cools and
the refrigerant in the cooling cycle
vaporises under low pressure.
The gaseous refrigerant
enters an electric compressor
(scroll construction) which
increases the pressure and the
temperature of the refrigerant.
The gaseous refrigerant is
led into a finned condenser,
which, as a consequence of
the heat exchange, condenses
the refrigerant under high
pressure to a liquid. The air
emerging at the condenser heats
the environment. The liquid
refrigerant is fed by means of
a variable injector valve back to
the evaporator where the circuit
begins again.
A return temperature dependent,
seamless controller, which ensures
the unit's operation and all of
the safety functions, is used
to control the cooling capacity.
A potential-free contact provides
for remote enabling.
The unit is designed for outdoor
installation. Under certain
circumstances, it can also be used
in indoor areas.
The unit cooling cycle comprises
an evaporator, compressor,
electronic injection valve,
condenser, condenser fan, pressure
transducer, high and low pressure
switches and a 4-way changeover
valve for heating mode.
The medium cycle comprises
a tube bundle heat exchanger,
a circulation pump and a flow
switch.
Vibration dampers, cabled remote
controls and glycol concentrate are
available as accessories.
Intended use
Depending on the model and
the unit, the units are only
intended to be used as a chiller
for the cooling of the operating
medium water or a water-glycol
mixture within a closed medium
cycle.
Any different or additional
use is a non-intended use.
The manufacturer/supplier
assumes no liability for damages
arising from non-intended use.
The user bears the sole risk in such
cases.
Intended use also includes working
in accordance with the operating
and installation instructions and
complying with the maintenance
requirements.
Proper handling
Insofar as intervention is required
in the refrigerant circuit of the unit
during maintenance or repair
work, all work shall be carried
out exclusively by persons and
companies who have a certificate
in accordance with the prerequisites
of EC ordinance no. 517/2014
of the European Council.
Applicability
Within the course of continuous
further development of all
products, REMKO GmbH & Co.
KG reserve the right to carry
out technical changes
to the units as well as updates
to the documentation.
The documentation on the unit
(name plates, wiring diagrams,
etc.) shall be considered as part
of the overall documentation.
Ecological design directive
The regulation (EU) 2016/2281
(LOT 21) approved by
the European Commission is
the enforcement action for
the ecological design directive
2009/125/EC, whose principal
objective is to reduce the primary
energy demand in the European
Union by 2030 and to reduce
the emissions of hazardous
substances associated with this.
The chillers from REMKO
comply with the applicable
energy requirements from
the ecological design directive.
The product datasheet required
per the ordinance, to verify
ERP conformity is attached
as a separate document and is
also available for download from
www.remko.de.
RVS DC units are chillers with heat pump function. The primary purpose of the units here is cooling operation,
whilst the heating function represents an additional function by means of reverse circulation.
For trouble-free unit operation and compliance with the legal warranty conditions, it is essential that the unit
is be used within its respective operational limits. These are shown in the following diagram. Further information
on this can likewise be found in the technical data.

Anti-freeze protection
The anti-freeze protection is based primarily on 3 parameters:
IDDesignationFactory setting
C01Anti-freeze protection temperature4 °C
C02Anti-freeze protection low pressure0 bar
C03Anti-freeze protection temperature difference2 °C
Cooling mode:
If the water outlet temperature (U02) is less than or equal to the anti-freeze protection temperature (C01)
or if the suction pressure (U07) is less than the anti-freeze protection low pressure (C02) for 10 seconds,
the system switches to anti-freeze protection.
Heating mode:
If the water outlet temperature (U02) is less than the water inlet temperature (U01) -2°C or less than the antifreeze protection temperature (C01), the system switches to anti-freeze protection.
In both cases, the system only carries on with normal operation once the water outlet temperature rises
by the anti-freeze protection temperature difference or the suction pressure is higher than the anti-freeze
protection low pressure parameter.
The anti-freeze protection temperature is set to 4°C at the factory.
If glycol is used, it is possible to change the parameters to operate at lower temperatures, depending
on the glycol concentration. The table below can be helpful for this.

■
To avoid the transmission of
vibrations to the installation
site, the units must be installed
on vibration absorbing material
or on vibration decoupled
foundations.
In doing so, make sure that
the lines are also vibration
decoupled.
■
If the installation site must
fulfil special sound emission
requirements, these must
be realised on-site when
appropriate adjustments can be
made.
In these cases, please consult an
appropriate acoustics expert.
■
The units are tested in
the factory and require
only electrical and hydraulic
installation by a suitable
specialist.
■
The unit must be kept upright
when transporting to a higher

Page 21
Selecting the installation location
The unit is designed for horizontal
installation on a base in outdoor
areas. The installation site must be
level, flat and firm. The unit should
also be secured to prevent it from
tipping over.
For external installation, please
observe the following instructions
to protect the unit from
the influence of the weather.
It is also possible to install
the unit in the interior of
the building. However, in this case
the circulation of the required air
flow volume (see technical data)
must be assured. Any change
to the air flow volume can result
in faults or damage to the unit.
Rain
Sun
The finned condenser gives
off heat in cooling mode.
Exposure to sunlight further
increases the temperature of
the fins and reduces the heat
released by the finned heat
exchanger.
The unit should, whenever
possible, be installed on the north
side of the building.
If necessary, take measures
to provide sufficient shade
(responsibility of customer).
This could be a small roof.
However, the discharging warm
air flow must not be affected by
the measures.
NOTE
Cooling capacity changes as
a consequence of ambient
conditions influenced by rain, sun,
wind, and snow, for example.
2 Minimum clearance to snow
Snow
20 cm
The unit should be at least 10 cm
off the ground when mounted on
the roof or ground.
Snow
The unit should be wall-mounted
in areas of heavy snowfall.
Installation should be at least
20 cm above the expected
level of snow to prevent snow
from entering the outdoor unit
(Figure 2).

Connection of
the medium piping
■
The connection of the lines
on-site takes place on the front
side of the unit (operating side).
■
For the purpose of servicing,
connections must be equipped
with shut-off valves and flow
volumes adjusted using valves
for hydronic balancing.
■
Additional automatic bleed
valves are to be provided
in the supply and return at
the installation's highest point.
■
The medium piping may not
exert any structural load on
the unit.
■
The line connections may
not generate any thermal or
mechanical stresses on the unit
(cool lines or hold in place with
a second tool if required).
■
If the unit is at first to be
operated with only a part of
the entire system, the medium
flow for the missing system
components is to be simulated
using valves for hydronic
balancing.
■
The pipe sizing is to be
designed such that the
stipulated minimum flow
volume is achieved.
Observe minimum flow volume of
the chiller.
The lines are to be insulated against
vapour diffusion and, if necessary,
the current German energy-saving
ordinance (EnEV) must be observed.
UV resistance must be realised outdoors
Minimum/maximum flow volume
The cold water generator's
circulation pump generates
a constant medium flow.
The result is a loss of pressure in
the system and in the cold water
generator. The differential pressure
or flow switch in the chiller
measures the pressure loss over
the evaporator or the flow
of the medium and switches
the unit off if the flow rate drops
below the minimum medium
volume.
The medium flow rate limit
may likewise not be exceeded
(maximum flow volume). A 3-way
valve with bypass and a hydraulic
compensator to establish a primary
and secondary circuit or a volume
dependent bypass are necessary to
ensure a constant flow volume.
Pressure and temperature displays
The pressure and temperature
displays to be installed on-site
at the intake and outlet serve
to set the medium flow rate.
The display should be able to be
shut off.
Temperature sensors are located
in the chiller's medium inlet
and outlet. Sensor values can
be queried via the controller.
Valves for hydronic balancing
The calculated individual pressure
losses in the pipeline network
layout for each individual unit are
adjusted to the entire system with
valves for hydronic balancing to
be provided on-site. The nominal
flow rates for the medium
adjust to the necessary values as
a consequence of the pressure loss.
NOTE
To adjust the circulation pump, we
recommend that a main hydronic
balancing valve is provided in
the vicinity of the unit.
Fill and drain connection
A connection should be
provided in an area safe from
frost for the draining of pipe
lines (especially if water is
used as a medium). Applicable
local disposal ordinances must
be observed if glycol is used.
Medium piping
Medium piping can be made of
copper, steel or plastic. To minimise
pressure losses, only streamlined
fittings should be used.
When designing the layout,
the large flow volumes in cold
water systems, high pressure
losses in connection with waterglycol mixtures and the cold water
generator's minimum flow volume
must be taken into account.

Diaphragm expansion vessel (MAG)
Air bleeding valves
External medium storage tank
To avoid pressure fluctuations
during standstill because of
temperature changes, diaphragm
expansion vessels filled with
nitrogen (moisture neutral) must
be integrated in the system.
The unit's standard equipment includes
one diaphragm expansion vessel.
The preliminary pressure must be set
on the system; an increase in volume
or, in the event of the realisation of a
cooling-heating system, the installation
of another diaphragm expansion vessel
may be necessary.
Compensators
Compensators are used to connect
lines to the unit to prevent vibration
in the chiller from transmitting
to other system components.
Compensators
Shut-off valveCompensator
Static fastening
Unit connection
Safety valve
Safety valves limit excess operating
pressure due to excess warming
or overfilling of the operating
medium. The valve outlet requires
unobstructed draining into a drain
line. Applicable local disposal
ordinances must be observed
if glycol is used.
The standard scope of delivery
for the unit includes a safety
valve; an additional valve may
be necessary at a suitable point.
The unit has manual air bleeding
valves. The unit can be bled here
after the system has been filled.
Automatic bleeding valves must
also be installed at the highest
point in the collector line.
CAUTION
!
Glycol-tolerant air bleeding
valves are necessary when
using media that contain
glycol.
Shut-off valves
As a rule, in cold water systems,
shut-off valves with full admission
should be used. For the purpose
of servicing, medium inlet and
medium outlet must be equipped
with shut-off valves (if necessary
safety valves).
Dirt trap
A rinsable dirt trap must be
installed upstream from the unit
intake. The mesh size should not
be less than 10 mesh/cm². Shutoff valves should be installed
upstream and downstream from
the dirt trap.
CAUTION
!
Improperly installed or missing
dirt traps can cause fouling
of the plate heat exchanger.
If, for example, the required
capacity of the cold water
consumer is significantly less
than the cooling capacity
generated by the chiller, an
increase in the medium content
is recommended. As an example,
the medium piping can be
oversized or an additional
storage tank installed to increase
compressor operating time.
A storage tank should, as a rule,
be provided if the minimum
medium volume is not reached.
Anti-freeze protection (accessories)
As a medium for a cold water
system, a water-glycol mixture
is used as a rule. Depending on
the use to which the glycol type
and quantity is put, the viscosity
changes, the loss in pressure
increases and the unit's cooling
or heating capacity reduces.
All system components must be
approved for use with glycol.
As a rule, the addition to the
water of ethylene glycol, in a
proportion of 34%, with inhibitors
for corrosion protection is
recommended.
CAUTION
!
During use and
disposal, product and safety
data sheets for the glycol
type being used as well
as applicable local ordinances
(e.g. Water Resources Act)
must be observed.
CAUTION
!
Use the required type and
mix ratio appropriate for
the application area to ensure
the freezing point.

Condensate drainage connection
and secure discharge
Condensate drainage connection
If the temperature falls below
the dew point, condensation will
form on the finned condenser
during heating mode.
A condensate tray should be
installed on the underside of
the unit to drain any condensate.
■
The condensate drainage line
should have an incline of min.
2%. This is the responsibility
of the customer.
If necessary, fit vapourdiffusion-proof insulation.
■
When operating the unit at
outdoor temperatures below
4 °C, care must be taken
that the condensate drainage
line is anti-freeze protected.
The lower part of the housing
and condensate tray is also
to be kept frost free in order
to ensure permanent draining
of the condensate.
If necessary, fit a pipe heater.

Following installation, check
that the condensate drain is
unobstructed and ensure that
the line is permanently leak
tight.
Safe drainage in the event
of leakages
Local regulations or environmental
laws, for example the German
Water Resource Act (WHG),
can require suitable precautions
to protect against uncontrolled
drainage in case of leakage
to provide for safe disposal
of escaping air conditioning fluid
or hazardous media.

NOTE
The system layout shown above shows the recommended pipework components to be established onsite. The detailed planning, layout and design of all components as well as the complete hydraulic system
is the responsibility of the specialist company carrying out the work.
Medium storage tank
The units have integrated high-efficiency components, which adapt the cooling capacity of the unit
to the respective load situation in accordance with the internal controller logic. This prevents cycled operation
of the compressor, which can be caused through too little water in the complete system.
As a result, the use of a medium storage tank is not absolutely essential with RVS DC type units. However,
the use of an external medium storage tank serves to increase the total water volume and thus contributes
to an increase in the quality of regulation. For this reason, a system layout with an external medium storage
tank is advisable as a matter of principle.

Leak testing
Before
commissioning
The leak test is carried out after
the connection has been made.
1. Flush the system twice with
clean tap water.
2. Clean the sieve insert of the dirt
trap provided by customer.
3. Fill the system with water
again and bleed the unit
at the manual bleed valves.
4. Adjust the test pressure to
at least 250 kPa (2.5 bar).
5. Check the connections for
leaking water after a period
of at least 24 hours . If leaks are
visible, the connection has not
been properly made. Tighten
the connection or establish
a new connection.
6. After a successful leak test,
remove the excess pressure
from the medium piping if a
water-glycol mixture is used
or adjust the non-circulating
pressure to the required system
pressure.
6 Unit preliminary pressure
Filling the system
The system is filled at
the customer-provided filling and
draining connections.
Anti-freeze protection for the medium
If a water-glycol mixture is used,
it is to be pre-mixed before being
put in the system. The desired
concentration is then to be checked.
Unit preliminary pressure for
the medium
The preliminary pressure of
the medium (without operation of
the circulation pump) varies within
the system. From the highest
point, the pressure increases by
approx.10 kPa (0.1bar) per metre
difference in altitude (geodetic
altitude). The value measured at
the highest point is identified as
the non-circulating pressure.
The position of the unit in the
system is decisive in the calculation
of the unit's preliminary pressure
(pressure of the manometer on
the unit installed by the customer).
The pressure must be set to at least
70 kPa (0.7 bar)
.
■
If the unit is positioned
at the lowest point in
the system, the unit preliminary
pressure (=non-circulating
pressure+geodetic system
altitude) must be set to at
least 70 kPa (0.7 bar) + 10 kPa
(0.1bar) x geodetic system
altitude.
■
If the unit is positioned at
the highest point in the system,
the unit preliminary pressure
(=non-circulating pressure) to
at least 70 kPa (0.7 bar). Please
note that the system pressure at
the lowest point is increased by
the geodetic system altitude!
Bleeding the system
■
Air may still be in the pipe
lines after the leak test.
The operation of the circulation
pump transports this to
the next highest point or to
the cold water consumer. Here
it is necessary to vent again
(Figure 7).
■
Also vent the pump if
necessary.
■
The non-circulating pressure
must then be adjusted to
the required system pressure.

Diaphragm expansion vessel
■ The preliminary pressure for
the diaphragm expansion vessel
must be adjusted individually to
the system layout, the volume of
the medium and the installation site.
■
If necessary, change the installation
site. For this, the manufacturer's
authorisation is required.
■
For cooling and heating systems,
the volume and the preliminary
pressure for the diaphragm
expansion vessel must be adjusted
to both operating modes; integrate
an additional diaphragm expansion
vessel in the system if necessary.
Valves for hydronic balancing
■
The calculated excess pressure
in the pipe network layout at
the individual cold water outlets
must be adjusted at the valves
for hydronic balancing.
Additional checks
General checks
■
Checking that minimum
clearances are correct.
■
Checking the transfer of cooling
and heating capacity via
the cold or hot water consumer
(indoor unit).
Electrical checks
■
Checking electrical connections
for correct phase sequencing.
■
Functional check of the cooling
mode/heating mode enable
(option).
■
Functional check of the enable
mode/Stand-By (option).
Checking the medium cycle
NOTE
The units are equipped
with a phase sequence relay
which prevents the operation
of the controller if the direction
of rotation of the electric
power supply is wrong.
The rotary field must be
replaced if the controller
is not activated during
commissioning of the unit.
NOTE

Commissioning
NOTE
Commissioning should only be
performed by specially trained
personnel and documented
after the certificate has been
issued.
■
Observe the manuals
for the unit and all other
components when
commissioning the entire
system.
Functional test for
Cooling mode:
1. Switch the power supply on.
2. Open all shut-off valves
if necessary.
3. Switch the unit and
the corresponding circulation
pump on to the highest level.
The outlet temperature must
be between +4 and +18°C.
4. Switch the unit on and select
the cooling operating mode.
If the return temperature
is warmer than the setting,
the compressor display will flash
and the compressor will begin
to work after approx. 3 to
5 minutes.
- The circulation pump starts
and the controller checks
the medium flow rate via
the differential pressure/flow
switch.
If the volume is insufficient,
a fault shut-off will be carried
out and the cooling cycle will
not be enabled.
6. Measure and record all
the required values in
the commissioning report and
check the safety functions.
7. Check the unit control system
using the functions described
in the "Operation" chapter.
Functional test for
Heating mode
1. Switch the power supply on.
2. Open all shut-off valves if
necessary.
3. The voltage supply is made
at the chiller; a control cable
to the interior unit is not
necessary.
The outlet temperature must be
between +35 and +45°C.
- The circulation pump starts
and the controller checks
the medium flow rate via
the differential pressure/flow
switch.
If the volume is insufficient,
a fault shut-off will be carried
out and the cooling cycle will
not be enabled.
6. Measure and record all
the required values in
the commissioning report
and check the safety functions.
7. Check the unit control system
using the functions described
in the "Operation" chapter.
Final tasks
■
Reassemble all disassembled
parts.
■
Familiarise the operator
with the system.
5. Please note that the inlet
temperature at the nominal
flow rate of the medium lies
approx. 5 K below the return
temperature.
- If the supply temperature falls
below the factory setting of
4°C, a fault triggers.
If this is the case, a higher
return temperature must be
selected. If the spread is too
great or too small, the medium
flow rate must be checked.
4. Switch the unit on and select the
heating operating mode.
If the return temperature
is colder than the setting,
the compressor display will
flash and the compressor will
begin to work after approx.
3 minutes.
5. Please note that the supply
temperature at the nominal
flow volume of the medium
lies approx. 5 K above
the return temperature.

Overhaul and repair
NOTE
Overhaul and repairs should
only be performed and
documented by specially
trained personnel.
Cooling circuit
Repairs on the cooling cycle are
to be documented in the operating
manual. The following measures
must be observed:
■
Environmentally correct
collection and disposal of
refrigerant and defective
components
■
Repairs carried out properly and
permanently with original spare
parts and connecting materials
appropriate to the task
■
Long-lasting leak-testing
with the maximum occurring
pressure
■
Long-lasting and properly
implemented evacuation and
drying of the refrigerant circuit
■
Proper filling with pure
refrigerant and corresponding
quantity per operating
instructions/name plate
■
Functional check of safety
components
! CAUTION
Wear protective clothing when
handling refrigerant.
! CAUTION
Only refrigerant in a liquid
state may be used to fill
the cooling cycle.
Medium cycle
Repairs on the medium cycle are
to be carried out and documented
in accordance with the current
regulations and/or regional
guidelines. The following measures
must be observed:
■
Environmentally correct
collection and disposal
of operating medium and
defective components
■
Repairs carried out properly and
permanently with original spare
parts and connecting materials
appropriate to the task
■

NOTE
The escape of refrigerant
contributes to climatic
change. In the event of
escape, refrigerant with a
low greenhouse potential
has a lesser impact on global
warming than those with a
high greenhouse potential.
This unit contains refrigerant
with a greenhouse potential
of 2088. That means the
escape of 1 kg of this
refrigerant has an effect
on global warming that is
2088 times greater than 1
kg CO2
based on 100 years.
Do not conduct any work on
the cooling cycle or dismantle
the unit - always enlist
the help of qualified experts.
