Protective Equipment (PPE): glasses, gloves, safety shoes
and hearing protection.
To prevent the risk of accidents, you must take into account
the specific features of the product throughout its life cycle,
in particular:
- pressurised hydraulic circuits containing a glycol/water mix;
- pressurised refrigeration circuits containing refrigerant;
- presence of voltage.
Thank you for choosing the POWERCIAT2 water chiller.
Your machine has been designed and manufactured
using all the expertise of CIAT's teams of technicians and
refrigeration specialists.
1.1 Intended use
POWERCIAT2 LX and LXC models are air-cooled
condensation water chillers designed to produce chilled
water.
Y
our machine should not be operated under more
demanding conditions than those defined by the study,
particularly in terms of pressures, temperatures, flow
rates, fluid nature and direction of circulation etc. These
conditions are defined in the order contract.
1.2 Documentation
This manual contains all of the operating instructions
for your machine. Before carrying out any work on the
machine, please read all of the instructions and make sure
you have all the necessary documentation. This manual

3.1 General information
All POWERCIAT2 units are tested and checked in the
factory. They are supplied with a full refrigerant charge.
In addition to this manual, please comply with the regulations and
legislation in force on the work site.
Any modifications or welding to pressurised parts is
dangerous and may be prohibited by regulations.
This unit is not required to withstand earthquakes. Earthquake
resistance has therefore not been checked.

- PED 97/23/EC Category 3 (2500 to 3900 HEE models,
2800 to 4800 STD models) and category 4 (4200 to
4800 HEE models & 5600 and 6400 STD models)
- WEEE 2012/19/EU
- RoHS 2011/65/EU
CE REGULATIONS
- REACH 1907/2006
HARMONISED STANDARDS
- EN 60204 and EN 378-2
3.3 Accreditation
The following accreditation is required to work on the unit:
- on chillers or any other system using refrigerants:
accreditation for work with refrigerant in accordance
with regulations;
- on or near electrical components: electrician
accreditation in accordance with regulations.
Technicians who install, commission, operate and service the
unit must possess the necessary training and certifications,
understand the instructions given in this manual and be familiar
with the specific technical characteristics of the installation site.
Any work on the refrigeration circuit must meet the
requirements of EC regulation no. 842/2006.
3.4 Pressure and temperature
Test pressure (TP) : In accordance with § 5.3.2.2 a
and 6.3.3 iii of standard 378-2, the pressure test (PT)
is performed on model representative of all 3 x PS
assemblies.
Shipping temperature : min.: -20°C., max.: +65°C.
Storage temperature : -20°C., max.: +65°C.
Operating temperature : see § OPERATING RANGES.
3.5 Refrigerants
In accordance with EC regulation no. 842/2006 concerning
certain greenhouse gases, the environmental impact of
R410A, R134a and R407C fluids is:
- on the OZONE layer: NONE. ODP (Ozone Depletion
Potential) rating = 0
- on the greenhouse effect (GWP = Global Warming
Potential:
- R410A: GWP=2088
- R407C: GWP=1800
- R134a: GWP=1430
Users must have a sealing check carried out by a qualified
technician. The frequency is determined by the refrigerant
charge:
- every 12 months for units containing 3 to 30 kg of
refrigerant. (2 kg in France, edict and decree of 7 May
2007);
- every 6 months for units containing 30 to 300 kg of
refrigerant;
- every 3 months for units containing over 300 kg of
refrigerant (a leak detection system must be installed).
Users of any system containing over 3 kg of refrigerant (2
kg in France) are required to keep a log of the quantities
and types of refrigerants used, added or recovered, and to
include the dates and results of leak tests, as well as the
name of the technician and company performing the test.
A sealing check must be carried out one month after any repairs to
a circuit containing refrigerant.
System users are responsible for collecting used refrigerant
and having it recycled, regenerated or destroyed.
