14 - MAINTENANCE
Level 3 maintenance
Maintenance at this level requires speci
fi
c skills, quali
fi
cations,
tools and expertise. Only the manufacturer, his representative or
authorised agent are permitted to carry out this work.
This maintenance work relates to the following:
■
Replacement of major components (compressor, coil
exchanger, etc).
■
Operations on the refrigerant circuit (handling refrigerant).
■
Modi
fi
cation of factory-set parameters (changes on the “50FC”
control);
■
Movement or disassembly of the refrigeration unit.
■
Any operation due to proven lack of maintenance.
■
Any operation covered by the warranty.
■
One or two leak detection operations per year performed by
quali
fi
ed personnel using a certi
fi
ed leak detector.
■
To reduce waste, the refrigerant and the oil must be transferred.
■
In accordance with applicable regulations, using methods that
limit refrigerant leaks and pressure drops and with materials
that are suitable for the products.
■
Any leaks detected must be repaired immediately
■
The compressor oil that is recovered during maintenance
contains refrigerant and must be treated accordingly.
■
Pressurised refrigerant must not be vented to the open air.
■
If the refrigerating circuit must be opened, cap all openings for
a period of up to one day. If open for longer, blanket the circuit
with a dry, inert gas (e.g. nitrogen).
14.3 - Access to the main components
Important: Whenever maintenance work is carried out on a
unit with R-454B refrigerant, an A2L refrigerant detector must
be available, regardless of that installed inside the unit.
Caution: Before performing any work on the machine
ensure it is de-energised. Verify that the main power
to the unit is cut o
ff
.
Compressor
In the case of compressor replacement:
■
Disconnect the unit from power supply.
■
Completely drain the refrigerant charge using a specific
recovery machine for the type of refrigerant included in the unit
(R-410A or R-454B).
Important: Always follow the recommendations given in
section 2.2 “Safety standards for refrigerant”.
■
Disconnect electrically the compressor.
■
Carefully unsolder the suction and discharge piping.
■
The compressor is
fi
xed onto the platform with 4 screws.
■
Unscrew the
fi
xings.
■
Place the new compressor and
check that it has a su
ffi
cient oil
charge.
Warning: when tightening the
compressor screws, please
consult the maximum torque
that can be applied.
■
Solder the suction and discharge piping.
■
Connect the compressor in accordance with the wiring diagram.
■
Make vacuum and next, reload the gas into the unit according
to charge data provided in the table of section “Refrigerant”
and in the unit’s name plate.
Oil
Oils for refrigeration units do not pose any health risks if they are
used in compliance with the precautions for use:
■
Avoid unnecessary handling of components lubricated with oil.
Use protective creams.
■
Oils are
fl
ammable and must be stored and handled with care.
Disposable rags or cloths used in cleaning must be kept away
from open
fl
ames and disposed of in the appropriate manner.
■
Containers must be stored with their caps on. Avoid using oil
from an opened container stored under incorrect conditions.
■
Check the oil level and aspect. In case of a colour change,
check the oil quality using a contamination test.
■
In the case of the presence of acid, water or metallic particles,
replace the a
ff
ected circuit oil, as well as the
fi
lter drier.
■
If all the oil must be emptied, replace it imperatively with new
oil of the same grade as the original oil which has been stored
in a hermetically sealed container until its time of use.
■
The oil type recommended for these units is:
Copeland 3MAF 32cST, Danfoss POE 160SZ, ICI Emkarate
RL 32CF, Mobil EAL Artic 22CC.
