VRV IV water-cooled system air conditioner

18.4.2

Recommended maintenance and
inspection

Since  dust  collects  when  using  the  unit  for  several  years,
performance  of  the  unit  will  deteriorate  to  some  extent.  As  taking
apart and cleaning interiors of units requires technical expertise and
in  order  to  ensure  the  best  possible  maintenance  of  your  units,  we
recommend to enter into a maintenance and inspection contract on
top  of  normal  maintenance  activities.  Our  network  of  dealers  has
access  to  a  permanent  stock  of  essential  components  in  order  to
keep your unit in operation as long as possible. Contact your dealer
for more information.

When asking your dealer for an intervention, always state:

▪ The complete model name of the unit.

▪ The manufacturing number (stated on the nameplate of the unit).

▪ The installation date.

▪ The symptoms or malfunction, and details of the defect.

WARNING

▪ Do not modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair

the unit yourself as incorrect dismantling or installation
may  cause  an  electric  shock  or  fire.  Contact  your
dealer.

▪ In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there

are  no  naked  flames.  The  refrigerant  itself  is  entirely
safe,  non-toxic  and  non-combustible,  but  it  will
generate  toxic  gas  when  it  accidentally  leaks  into  a
room  where  combustible  air  from  fan  heaters,  gas
cookers,  etc.  is  present.  Always  have  qualified  service
personnel  confirm  that  the  point  of  leakage  has  been
repaired or corrected before resuming operation.

18.4.3

Recommended maintenance and
inspection cycles

Be  aware  that  the  mentioned  maintenance  and  replacement  cycles
do not relate to the warranty period of the components.

The table assumes the following conditions of use:

▪ Normal  use  without  frequent  starting  and  stopping  of  the  unit.

Depending  on  the  model,  we  recommend  not  starting  and
stopping the machine more than 6 times/hour.

▪ Operation  of  the  unit  is  assumed  to  be  10  hours/day  and

2,500 hours/year.

NOTICE

▪ The  table  indicates  main  components.  Refer  to  your

maintenance and inspection contract for more details.

▪ The  table  indicates  recommended  intervals  of

maintenance cycles. However, in order to keep the unit
operational as long as possible, maintenance work may
be  required  sooner.  Recommended  intervals  can  be
used  for  appropriate  maintenance  design  in  terms  of
budgeting 

maintenance 

and 

inspection 

fees.

Depending  on  the  content  of  the  maintenance  and
inspection contract, inspection and maintenance cycles
may in reality be shorter than listed.

18.4.4

Shortened maintenance and replacement
cycles

Shortening of "maintenance cycle" and "replacement cycle" needs to
be considered in following situations:

The unit is used in locations where:

▪ Heat and humidity fluctuate out of the ordinary.

▪ Power fluctuation is high (voltage, frequency, wave distortion, etc.)

(the  unit  cannot  be  used  if  power  fluctuation  is  outside  the
allowable range).

▪ Bumps and vibrations are frequent.

▪ Dust,  salt,  harmful  gas  or  oil  mist  such  as  sulphurous  acid  and

hydrogen sulfide may be present in the air.

▪ The machine is started and stopped frequently or operation time is

long (sites with 24 hour air-conditioning).

NOTICE

▪ The  table  indicates  main  components.  Refer  to  your

maintenance and inspection contract for more details.

▪ The  table  indicates  recommended  intervals  of

replacement cycles. However, in order to keep the unit

your dealer for details.

INFORMATION

Damage due to taking apart or cleaning interiors of units by
anyone  other  than  our  authorised  dealers  may  not  be
included in the warranty.
