General information
◊
The chillers are units for outside setup.
◊
Wind protection devices must be set up if the air ex-
pelled from the unit does not flow in the same pri-
mary direction as the wind.
◊
You must ensure that the wind protection does not
adversely affect the air supply to the unit.
◊
When setting up the unit, ensure that adjacent
rooms or buildings are not exposed to adverse ef-
fects from noise emitted from the units. You should
avoid setting up the units on large, reverberant sur-
faces, such as between reflecting buildings, because
this can increase the noise level.
◊
The chillers must be mounted on vibration absorbers
or foundations which prevent vibrations (to be done
by the customer).
◊
If the chillers are also used during the winter months,
the unit must be assembled high enough so that it is
protected from snow. The minimum height is 20 cm
above the normal amount of snow expected.
◊
To ensure that the unit operates smoothly, adequate
safety distances to walls and other obstacles must
be maintained during setup.
Unit Assembly
The REMKO RKW INOX chillers have been designed
and built for outside setup. Because a lot of heat is ex-
pelled to the surroundings, make sure that when you se-
lect a location for setup, air can flow freely in and out of
the unit.
It is generally
not advisable
to
set up the unit in en-
closed rooms
because adequate air exchange with the
outside air cannot be guaranteed and there must be an
equal amount of air intake and output.
An adequate air exchange can only be guaranteed if a
corresponding cross ventilation supplies fresh air to the
room at least at the air flow rate of the chiller. Otherwise
the room will heat up and the chiller will switch off due to
a malfunction. This occurs once the room temperature
exceeds the upper operating range of the set value of
the safety mechanism.
Minimum distances
These safety zones ensure that air can flow freely in
and out of the unit, that maintenance and repair work
can be performed and to protect the unit from damage.
The figure below indicate the minimum distances that
must be maintained to ensure that the units operate
properly.

Assembly Instructions for
Service Personnel
Prior to installation
The following must be checked and complied with be-
fore the unit is actually assembled:
◊
Ensure that the contents of the package are com-
plete and that the unit has no visible damage results
in from transport. Any problems must be communi-
cated immediately to your contract partner and the
shipping company. Subsequent complaints will not
be acknowledged.
◊
Place the unit in its original packaging as close as
possible to the location where it will be assembled.
This will prevent damage resulting from transport.
◊
Ensure that the foundation for installing the chiller is
level, even, firm and resistant.
Pay attention to the load capacity of the foundation.
◊
Choose a place for installation which guarantees a
free air intake and air discharge of the unit and
where the unit is not exposed directly to the sun or
other heat sources.
◊
The air discharge of the unit should be in accor-
dance with the main direction of the wind.
◊
Keep all distances which are described in the chap-
ter “minimum distances”
◊
Prior to installation, the electrical connection values
must be checked for consistency with the data on
the type plate.
◊
All indoor units must have a separate electric supply.
◊
An electric control cable to the chiller is not neces-
sary.
