General Description 

 

CONSTRUCTION 

The base is fabricated from galvanised steel coated with epoxy baked powder paint to 
ensure a durable, weatherproof construction. 

 

Unit panels are manufactured from galvanised sheet steel coated with epoxy baked 
powder paint to provide a durable and weatherproof finish. 

 

Standard unit colour is Light Grey (RAL 7035). 

 

Fully weatherproofed electrical panels are situated at one end of the unit.  

 

Access to the water and refrigeration components is via the lower front panel. 

 

Coil guards are fitted as standard. 

 

A set of 4 collared eye bolts to BS4278 are supplied.  

 

STANDARD FEATURES - ENERGY SAVING 

 

 

Compressor 

Scroll compressor(s) comprising: 

 

 

Internal motor protection 

 

Internal pressure relief 

 

External discharge temperature protection 

 

Oil sight glass 

 

 

LCC20 

Utilises 1 digital scroll compressor offering modulating capacity control between 
20 - 100% of unit capacity. 

 

 

LCC40 

Utilises 1 digital scroll compressor coupled in tandem with 1 standard scroll compressor 
offering modulating capacity control between 10 - 100% of unit capacity. 

 

 

 

Energy saving digital compressors enable capacity modulation through time averaging of 
the loaded and unloaded state of the compressor scroll. For further details, please refer 
to

on page 11. 

 

Electronic Expansion 
Valves (EEV) 

Electronic expansion valves differ to the normal thermostatic expansion valves in their 
ability to maintain control of the suction superheat at reduced head pressures. This can 
lead to significant energy savings particularly at reduced loading and low ambient 
temperatures. Factory fitted, for full details refer to the
