1.1.2 Technical specifications
These units are supplied completely factory-assembled and with all coolant tubing and wiring ready for
installation on site. After mounting, these units must go through an operational test with water. Coolant
leaks will also be checked during this process.
Sheeting cover
The units are made of galvanized steel sheeting and anticorrosion nuts and bolts. Panels can be removed
for access to internal components. The casing parts are painted with white RAL9001 oven-baked
polymerized enamel.
Compressors
One, two or four hermetic Scroll compressors are used, mounted in tandem on rails and antivibratory
supports. The compressors are connected for operation with one single cooling circuit. Start-up is carried
out by two independent starters. These compressors are equipped with mechanical elements that protect
them against high operating temperatures. The sump heaters operate only when the compressor is
inoperative.
Water-side exchanger
Comprises a stainless steel plate exchanger, adequately insulated by a layer of closed-cell elastomer
foam. Includes an antifreeze heater monitored by the controller. The coolant side of said exchanger
accepts an operating pressure of 45 bar, whereas the water side accepts 10 bar. When the unit includes
a hydro kit, maximum admissible pressure on the water side is 6 bar (adjustment of the tank safety valve).
Air-side exchanger
Made up of two notched aluminium blue fin coils and grooved copper tubing mechanically expanded
within the fin assembly.
Fans
Of the axial and low sound level type. Equipped with single-phase motors with IP54 protection. These
motors allow speed control by means of a phase cut-out shifter controlled by the unit controller. This
allows unit operation at low ambient temperatures (-10°C). On cool only units with an optional low ambient
temperature kit can reach ‑18°C. On heat pumps, the fan will remain inoperative during defrosting.
Electrical and control panel
Located at the front of the unit, and with IP44 protection. The operating and control components are
factory mounted, wired and tested. The door of this control panel is equipped with a locking isolator that
turns power supply off. Inside we find the contactors for compressors and the pump, the transformer,
magneto-thermal protectors, controller electronic plates, speed control, connecting strip and the
keyboard-display with the unit controls.
Control keyboard-display
This device is accessible through an external leak-tight plastic cover. This is an easy-to-use control with
three access levels: direct, user (password) and factory (password). For further information, please see
Operating Instructions.
Cooling circuit
The cool only unit cooling circuit includes: expansion valve, filter-dryer, liquid sight glass, high and low-
pressure switches, service valves for isolating the condensing unit, and Schrader valves on the high and
low sides. The heat pump model also includes, in addition, a four-way valve (energized in summer cycle
and during defrosts), retaining valves, a heat cycle expansion valve and a liquid tank. The suction tubing
is coated with closed-cell elastomer.
