Choice of location
The chiller must only be installed outside in a clear, free space, with continuous renewal of air.
The refrigerant fluid present in the chiller is R290 (propane), which is heavier than air (higher
density). For these reasons, it should be positioned above the ground to avoid any pocket
formation of R290.
Access to the chiller should only be possible for authorised people, who have been informed of
the following points: General and special security measures and the information contained in this
manual.
The chiller should be installed and placed so that no leakage of refrigerant fluid can enter the
building or endanger people and property. The refrigerant fluid must not be able to spread in an
air duct, under a door, a hatch or a similar opening in case of leakage.
In the case of a shelter intended for refrigeration equipment located in the open air, this shelter
must be fitted with a ventilation device adapted to a propane chiller.
Once installed, the chiller should not block or hinder any passages, the movement of people or the
opening of doors.
Respect the distances between the chiller and the obstacles surrounding it to ensure good air circulation.
Refer to the implementation diagram proposed below.
The surface supporting the chiller must be flat, level, scaled and strong enough to support the weight of
the chiller and vibrations. The chiller must be mounted level
The chiller should be installed in a place that is well ventilated and not subject to prevailing winds. The air
flow to the condenser under the compressor, in the foot stringers, must be free and permanent. No frontal
or lateral obstacle must disrupt the air flow or cause any type of air recirculation to the condenser or bad
ventilation of the electrical cabinet.
This will prevent, among other things, an abnormally high condensation temperature.
For chillers installed at high altitude, it is necessary to consider the effect of air density.
