SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
A
Never perform any cleaning operations
before having
disconnected the unit from the mains power supply.
Make sure power is not connected before proceeding.
REFRIGERANT GAS CHARGE
It is recommended to chemically flush the plate heat
exchanger after every 3 years of operation.
For instructions on how to carry out this operation, call the
toll free number.
REFRIGERANT GAS CHARGE
The chillers are filled with R410A refrigerant gas and tested
in the factory.
In normal conditions, there should be no need for the Tech-
nical Service to intervene to check the refrigerant gas.
However, over time, small leaks may develop at the joints
leading to loss of refrigerant and draining of the circuit,
causing the unit to function poorly.
In this case, the leaks of refrigerant must be identified and
repaired and the refrigerant circuit recharged.
Proceed as follows:
- Empty and dry the entire refrigerant circuit using a vacuum
pump connected to the low and high pressure tap until the
vacuometer reads about 10 Pa.
Wait a couple of minutes and check that this value does
not rise to more than 50 Pa.
- Connect the refrigerant gas cylinder or a filling cylinder to
the low pressure line pressure gauge connection
- Charge the quantity of refrigerant indicated on the unit’s
rating plate.
- Always check the superheating and subcooling values,
which should be between 5 and 10°C and 4 and 8°C.
- After a couple of hours operation, check that the liquid
indicator indicates a dry circuit (dry-green).
In the event of partial leaks
, the circuit must be com-
pletely emptied before being recharged.
The R407C refrigerant
must only be charged in the liq-
uid state.
Operating conditions
other than rated conditions may
produce considerably different values.
Tightness testing
or identification of leaks must only be
carried out using R407C refrigerant gas, checking with a
suitable leak detector.
The refrigerant circuit
must not be charged
with a
refrigerant other than that indicated on page 16.
The use of a different refrigerant may cause serious
damage to the compressor.
Oxygen, acetylene or other flammable or poisonous gas-
es
must never be used
in the refrigerant circuit as they
may cause explosion or poisoning.
Oils other than those indicated on page 16
must not be
used
. The use of different oil may cause serious dam-
age to the compressor.
DISPOSAL
A
The unit must be disposed of
according to the legislation
in force in the country concerned
