NOTE
All the unit’s hydraulic connections must be made by the customer.
1. Connect the unit to the water pipes observing the water flow direction as shown in the attached dimensional
drawings.
2. Provide two valves (one at the inlet, one at the outlet) to isolate the unit in the case of maintenance work without
having to empty the user water circuit.
3. Fill the tank with water using:
•
a remote filling system, bleeding the air from the tank manually if necessary by means of the manual bleed
valve.
•
if the water circuit is subject to frequent infiltrations of air it is good practice to install an automatic bleed
valve.
4. If the unit is supplied without pump make sure the pump installed by the user has its suction port connected
directly to the tank outlet connection in the event of a closed user circuit.
5. If the unit is supplied without pump make sure the pump installed by the user has its outlet port connected directly
to the unit inlet connection in the event of a user circuit that is open to the atmosphere.
NOTE
The pump must never run dry.
ATTENTION
If the unit is not equipped with the hydraulic unit a pump must be installed for the evaporation water circuit.
For any maintenance requirements it is advisable to install a water drain cock at the lowest point of the circuit.
Evaporator water connections sizes:
NOTE
For correct operation, install a filter close to the unit’s water inlet connection. Failure to comply with this requirement may
cause irreparable damage to the evaporator.
On units with plate evaporator, clogging of even just a few plates (or the gaps between them) may result in freezing of the
clogged plate and hence failure of part of the exchanger, even if the water flow is apparently normal and the unit is cooling
effectively.
