INTRODUCTION
This manual has been compiled by TCF Srl to provide the
installer, customer and user with instructions intended to
ensure the proper management and use of the air-
conditioning units series T, TS, TA, PA from the delivery up to
the commissioning.
The recommendations which follow are intended to ensure a
continuous and durative operating life of the air-conditioning
unit.
The procedures described below should be performed by
skilled personnel with a good knowledge of air-conditioning
systems design and operation, even though, thanks to the
unit’s simplicity of design, these could be carried out also by
those unfamiliar with air handling.
1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT
1.1
COMPOSITION
The air-conditioning unit, in single-section or multiple
sections, in its most complete execution, is made up from:
•
Return section with one or more dampers
•
Filters section
•
Heat exchanger section (heating, cooling)
•
Supply fan section
1.2
PERMITTED USE
TCF air-conditioning units are designed exclusively for CIVIL
AND INDUSTRIAL AIR TREATMENT.
In case of CORROSIVE and/or EXPLOSIVE air flows, a number
of special technical modifications must be made at the design
stage which, altogether, adapt the machine for the treatment
of special air flows.
The air-conditioning units must at all times be used strictly in
accordance with the design conditions established at the time
of contract in agreement with the customer. ANY OTHER USE
SHALL CONSTITUTE IMPROPER USE AND IS THEREFORE
DANGEROUS. THE MANUFACTURER MAY NOT BE HELD
LIABLE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NON-STANDARD USE OR
ANY USE NOT ENVISAGED IN THE CONTRACT.

CONTROL, PACKING, TRANSPORTATION
2.1
FACTORY INSPECTION OF THE SUPPLY
Prior to shipping, each TCF air-conditioning unit is subject to
all the functional tests listed on the attached UNIT
INSPECTION SHEET. The controls concern:
•
General machine dimensions
•
Correct assembly of the various parts and sections
•
Compliance with the various safety rules in force
•
Integrity of all the system’s component parts
•
Application of the identification, operation and
safety notices
On completion of the inspection, the Chief Inspector applies
the EC mark demonstrating product compliance with
prevailing European Union machine directives.
2.2
PACKING
The air-conditioning units are usually supplied as fully-
assembled monoblocks.
Only if the customer expressly requests it, the units can be
split into sections to facilitate transportation and carriage
through narrow apertures, stairs or corridors.
Transportation of the machines, both monoblocks and
broken-down units, may be:
-
normal
-
special
In the former case, TCF Srl does not normally pack the units.
In case of special transportation, the packing requested is
agreed at the time of contract and is entirely on the
customer’s charge.
Fragile components supplied separate from the unit, such as
humidifiers, exchangers, recuperators, filters, control boards
etc., are always delivered packed.
2.3
LOADING,TRANSPORT,UNLOADING
TCF Srl disclaims any liability for damage occurred to the air-
conditioning
unit
during
loading,
unloading
and
transportation. We therefore recommend that precautions be
taken, including:
-
The load must be firmly secured to ensure its
integrity during transportation
-
Handling must be performed without exerting force
on protruding accessories (hydraulic attachments,
handles, hinges, air locks, protection roof)
-
Do not overturn the sections as you may otherwise
break internal supports, components and dampers
-
Do not subject the unit to violent impacts as you
may damage its integrity
-
If a forklift truck is used during the loading,
unloading and handling operations, the forks of the
truck must be at least the same length as the unit to
ensure stability (fig. 1)
-
If the air-conditioning unit is fitted with a
continuous steel base frame, handling may be
carried out with a crane, using cables firmly secured
to rods (sufficient for the stress involved) passing
through the holes provided in the base.
If a crane is used, proceed as shown in the illustration,
using spacers to protect the structure (fig. 2).
-
During transportation, protect the unit from
atmospheric agents. Special care must be taken if
the unit is supplied disassembled or designed for
internal use.
