9.7 - Flow control
The water flow switch supplied needs to be installed at the heat
reclaim condenser water inlet and protects the conden-ser loop
against low water flow conditions. When the heat reclaim mode is
required, a signal from the additional board output activates the
system pump. Once the pump is started, flow detection takes place
for one minute. If no flow is detected by the end of this time:
1. Changeover to the heat reclaim mode is not permitted
2. Mode is changed to cooling only mode when the water flow
rate is low, accompanied by a water flow detection alarm.

9.8 - Heat reclaim operation
The heat reclaim condenser option is only available on units with
two circuits. It has been designed with one or two single or two-circuit
shell-and-tube heat exchangers, depending on the unit size.
The two circuits are independently controlled. One circuit can be
in cooling only and the other in heat reclaim mode.
Changeover from one mode to the other (changeover from heat
exchange at the air condenser to heat exchange at the water
condenser and vice versa) is ensured by motorised two-way valves
located upstream of the air and water condensers.
ATTENTION: Mode changes may lead to higher sound levels
than the levels at stable operation.
Depending on the mode selected (heat reclaim or cooling), the
logic compares the water entering temperature required with the
setpoint. Depending on this difference the unit circuits are either
activated or deactivated in heat reclaim mode (one or two together),
as shown in the following diagram and table.

For units with a water condenser please refer to chapter 9.1 - “Technical data,
30XB units with heat reclaim condenser option”.
9.10 - Frost protection
The heat reclaim condenser is equippped with electric heaters to
protect the condenser against frost. These are activated if the
condenser entering and leaving water tem-peratures are below 3
°C and deactivated, if they are higher than 4.3 °C.
