DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
WARNING
Provide adequate measures to prevent that the unit can be used as a shelter by small
animals. Small animals that make contact with electrical parts can cause
malfunctions, smoke or fire.
WARNING
Some sections of the refrigerant circuit may be isolated from other sections caused
by components with specific functions (e.g. valves). The refrigerant circuit therefore
features additional service ports for vacuuming, pressure relief or pressurizing the
circuit.
In case it is required to perform
brazing
on the unit, ensure that there is no pressure
remaining inside the unit. Internal pressures need to be released with ALL the service
ports indicated on the figures below opened. The location is depending on model
type.
WARNING
▪
Only use R32 as refrigerant. Other substances may cause explosions and
accidents.
▪
R32 contains fluorinated greenhouse gases. Its global warming potential (GWP)
value is 675. Do NOT vent these gases into the atmosphere.
▪
When charging refrigerant, ALWAYS use protective gloves and safety glasses.
WARNING
Install the tundish away from any electrical device.
Possible consequence:
Electrical
shock or fire.
In case of freeze protection by glycol:
WARNING
Ethylene glycol is toxic.
WARNING
Due to the presence of glycol, corrosion of the system is possible. Uninhibited glycol
will turn acidic under the influence of oxygen. This process is accelerated by the
presence of copper and high temperatures. The acidic uninhibited glycol attacks
metal surfaces and forms galvanic corrosion cells that cause severe damage to the
system. Therefore it is important that:
▪
the water treatment is correctly executed by a qualified water specialist,
▪
a glycol with corrosion inhibitors is selected to counteract acids formed by the
oxidation of glycols,
▪
no automotive glycol is used because their corrosion inhibitors have a limited
lifetime and contain silicates which can foul or plug the system,
▪
galvanized pipes are NOT used in glycol systems since the presence may lead to
the precipitation of certain components in the glycol's corrosion inhibitor.
