General precautions
R407C
Low
Liquid splashes or sprays may cause freeze burns. Unlikely to be hazardous by skin absorption.
However, R407C may be slightly irritant and, if liquid, it has a strong degreasing effect. Flush conta-
minated skin areas with running water. If it comes into contact with wet fabrics, the liquid refrigerant
will cause them to freeze and adhere to the skin. Carefully remove the contaminated clothing since it
might adhere to the skin and cause freeze burns. Apply to a doctor if the affected skin areas should
be reddened or irritated.
Vapours have no effect. Liquid splashes or sprays may cause freeze burns. In these cases rinse your
eyes with running water or with a solution for eye lavages for at least 10 minutes. Immediately apply to
a doctor.
Very unlikely to occur. If this should be the case, it may cause freeze burns. Never induce vomit-
ing. Keep the patient awake. Make it rinse its mouth with running water and make it drink about
1/4 of a litre. Immediately apply to a doctor.
At high concentrations there is a danger of asphyxia due to a reduced oxygen content in the
atmosphere. In these cases take the patient to the open air, in a cool place and keep it at rest.
Administer oxygen, if required. Apply artificial respiration if breathing has ceased or if it has
become irregular. In case of heart failure immediately apply cardiac massage. Immediately
apply to a doctor.
A symptomatic and supportive therapy is generally suitable. A heart sensitisation has been
observed in some cases, as a result of exposures to particularly high concentrations. In the pres-
ence of catecholamines (such as for example adrenaline) in the blood flow, it has increased the
irregularity of the cardiac rhythm and then caused the heart failure.
Use in the presence of exposed flames, red heat surfaces and high humidity levels.
Possibility of violent reactions with sodium, potassium, barium and other alkaline substances.
Incompatible materials: magnesium and all the alloys containing over 2% of magnesium.
Avoid the inhalation of high concentrations of vapours. The concentration in the atmosphere
shall be kept at the minimum value and anyway below the occupational limits. Since vapours
are heavier than air and they tend to stagnate and to build up in closed areas, any opening for
ventilation shall be made at the lowest level.
R407C: A lifetime study which has been conducted on the effects inhalation may have on rats at
50,000 ppm has shown the onset of benign tumours of the testicle. These remarks suggest that
there is no danger for human beings if they are exposed to concentrations below the occupa-
tional limits or equal to them.
R407C: Recommended limits: 1,000 ppm v/v – 8 hours TWA.
R407C: Not specified.
R407 C: Halogen acids deriving from thermal decomposition and hydrolysis.
R407C: High concentration levels of its vapours in the air can produce an anaesthetic effect,
including the loss of consciousness. Particularly severe exposures may cause heart arrhythmia
and sometimes prove to be also fatal.

In case of doubt about the actual concentration, wear breathing apparatus. It should be self-con-
tained and approved by the bodies for safety protection.
Refrigerant containers shall be stored in a cool place, away from fire risk, direct sunlight and all
heat sources, such as radiators. The maximum temperature shall never exceed 45°C in the stor-
age place.
Wear boots, safety gloves and glasses or masks for facial protection.
Never forget to wear protection clothes and breathing apparatus. Isolate the source of the leak-
age, provided that this operation may be performed in safety conditions. Any small quantity of
refrigerant which may have escaped in its liquid state may evaporate provided that the room is
well ventilated.In case of a large leakage, ventilate the room immediately. Stop the leakage with
sand, earth or any suitable absorbing material. Prevent the liquid refrigerant from flowing into
drains, sewers, foundations or absorbing wells since its vapours may create an asphyxiating at-
mosphere.
The best procedure involves recovery and recycle. If this is not possible, the refrigerant shall be
given to a plant which is well equipped to destroy and neutralise any acid and toxic by-product
which may derive from its disposal.
In case of fire wear protection clothes and self-contained breathing apparatus.
If they are exposed to the fire, they shall be constantly cooled down by water sprays.
Containers may explode if they are overheated.
R407C: Non flammable in the atmosphere.

It may only be used in well ventilated areas.
Always wear glasses or a mask for facial protection. Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is rec-
ommended to wear gloves in case of a long-term exposure.
Wear protection clothes and gloves. Stop the leakage. Absorb oil by using suitable substances,
such as sand, sawdust and any other material available on the market.
Oil and whatever may be contaminated by it shall be incinerated in a plant in compliance with
the local standards about the destruction of exhausted oils.
Use dry chemical compounds, carbon dioxide or extinguishing foams to put out the fire. The use
of water on hot oil which has been set on fire may cause splashing.
If oil has not caught fire yet, spray some water to disperse the vapours and protect the personnel
who are attempting to stop the leakage.
If they are exposed to the fire, they shall be constantly cooled down by water sprays.
In case of fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Product Description
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1 General Information
AQL/AQH units are of an enbloc type with one sin-
gle refrigerating circuit. They are intended to cool
down the water required for any air-conditioning ap-
plication as well as any other fluid, such as for exam-
ple glycol water.
These units are completely assembled at works. They
are equipped with all the refrigerating connections
and the internal electrical wiring required for a rapid
installation on the field.
An operation test is performed after assembly, with
water flowing through the refrigerant/water ex-
changer in order to make sure that every refrigerat-
ing circuit is properly working. The refrigerating cir-
cuits of every unit are pressure tested before inspec-
tion, drained and charged with R407C.
A low noise level is the result of a careful study. It is
achieved on chillers by using technologically ad-
vanced components: SCROLL compressors with
soundproof cases and fans with streamline nozzles.
All this without negatively affecting the operation
performances and limits of the units.
AQL models can cool down chilled water at a tem-
perature between + 18 and + 5°C.
AQH heat pump models can warm up water at a
temperature between 25°C and 50°C.
Body and Frame
The base and frame of these units are made with
very thick galvanized steel elements, assembled with
stainless steel screws. All panels can be disassem-
bled to ensure easy access to internal components.
All galvanized steel parts are protected by epoxy
powder paint.
Compressors
The models are equipped with two SCROLL airtight
tandem compressors with an internal motor protec-
tion and a separate soundproof coverage.
The compressors of all models are assembled on rub-
ber shock absorbers. Their motors can be directly
started. They are cooled down by the aspirated re-
frigerant gas and equipped with internal thermistor
protections against overloads.
Overload protections are automatically reset after
having tripped. The compressor terminal box has an
IP54 protection degree (AQL/AQH 40-130).
Compressors are powered on and off by the micro-
processor of the unit control system which is intended
to control the delivery of the thermal refrigerating ca-
pacity.
Evaporators
Evaporators are made up of stainless steel plates.
They are thermally insulated by means of a thick flex-
ible insulating mattress with closed cells. The maxi-
Page 9
Product Description
mum operating pressures correspond to 10 bar for
the water side and to 30 bar for the refrigerant side.
Antifreeze protection for the water in the exchangers
is ensured by electrical heaters and differential pres-
sure switches for 30 units and by flow switches for
the other units. The water side of these exchangers is
connected by manifolds which will provide for the
connection to the plant by means of one single gas
threaded attachment.
Condensing batteries
The batteries forming the condenser are made up of
copper tubes arranged in staggered rows and me-
chanically expanded inside an aluminium finned
pack.
The maximum operating pressure on the refrigerant
side of the condensing batteries will correspond to
28 bar.
Condenser Fans
The condenser fans are of a helical type. They are di-
rectly coupled and have an impeller with wing con-
toured aluminium blades. Each fan is equipped with
a galvanised steel accident-prevention protection
which is painted after manufacture. The fans motors
are completely closed. They have an IP54 protection
degree and a protection thermostat embedded in the
windings.
Fans Control
All models have a step speed controller as a stan-
dard. It will act according to the condensing pres-
sure and allow the operation up to an external oper-
ation of –5/10°C
Refrigerating Circuits
Each unit is equipped with a single refrigerating cir-
cuit of external service valves intended to measure
the refrigerant pressure and charge, a sight glass
with a humidity indicator, a dryer filter and a thermal
expansion valve.
Refrigerating circuits are also complete with a high
pressure switch as well as a high and low transduc-
er.
Control Supply Panel
All components of the control system and those nec-
essary to start the motors are shop connected and
tested. In 40-130 models, the components of the con-
trol system and of the supply system are accessible
through separate doors, while in 20-25-30-35 mod-
els the board is protected by a door which can be re-
moved with a screwdriver. The control compartment
contains an electronic card and a control board with
keyboard and display, to show the operational func-
tions, as well as the intervention of the alarms and
the working blocks.
2.2 Accessories
Water Filter
In 20-35 units, the 1-1/2” filter is included in the sup-
plied equipment; in 40-130 units (in the model
equipped with a pump) the filter is positioned in the
hydraulic circuit, while in the models without pump it
is supplied as an optional.
Anti-Vibration Kit
For 20-35 units, the anti-vibration kit made of special
rubber is provided together with the unit. As for 40-
130 models, the kit includes 4 spring shock-ab-
sorbers, to be mounted during the installation of the

closed cell polyethyl-
ene in a silver colour.
Antifreeze resistances or a heating booster kit are in-
stalled in the tank (upon request).
On/Off Remote Kit
It enables the operator to power on the unit when it is
in standby mode, to display alarms and to switch
over cooling – heat pump. The kit will include a 3
metre long cable for installation on the wall.i.
Sequencer kit - 4 units
Kit of external pressure gauge
Cooling mode
The low pressure liquid refrigerant will flow into the
evaporator where it is evaporated and overheated
by the heat absorbed from the chilled water flowing
through the plates.
The low pressure steam produced as a result of this
process will enter the compressor where it is over-
pressurised and overheated. After having left the
compressor, the high pressure steam will enter the
condensing battery which will absorb its heat and re-
lease it to air circulating outside.
After having been properly liquefied and subcooled,
the refrigerant will go through the expansion valve
where its pressure and temperature are reduced be-
fore flowing into the evaporator where the cycle will
start again.

3 TRANSPORTATION, HANDLING
AND STORAGE
The AQL/AQH units are supplied fully assembled
and tested (except for the shock absorbers which are
separately supplied). They are ready to be installed
and started on the field.
R407C units are only charged with liquid refrigerant
and with oil in the quantity required for operation.
The low pressure side of the refrigerating
circuit on R407C units shall be charged by
means of the service valve arranged on the
thermal expansion valve before the device
is operated.
3.1 Inspection
The unit shall be immediately inspected upon receipt
to find out any damage since it has been delivered
ex works and transported at the customer’s risk. It is
also necessary to make sure that all the parcels spec-
ified on the delivery note have been delivered.
Any damage you may find out shall be immediately
reported in writing to the carrier. Even if the damage
is only on the surface, please notify our local repre-
sentative too.
The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for the
shipment even if it has provided for its organisation.
3.2 Handling
The AQL/AQH units are designed to be lifted from
above, by means of cables and eyebolts. A spacer
shall be arranged between the cables in order to
prevent them from damaging the unit (see the figure
aside).
Before handling the devices, make sure the site you
have chosen for the installation can withstand its

remove the plastic envelope and the battery
protections which are intended to prevent
dirt, dust and any foreign matter from pene-
trating into the unit through the inlets of fans
or from damaging the external surfaces.
3.3 Storage
If the unit is to be stored before the installation for
some time, take at least the following precautions to
prevent damage, corrosion and/or deterioration:
h
Make sure all openings, such as for example wa-
ter connections, are well plugged and sealed.
h
Never store the units in a room where temperature
is above 42 °C (R407C units) or where the units
are directly exposed to the sunlight.
h
It is recommended to leave the finned batteries
covered to protect them against any risk of corro-
sion, especially if building works are still in
progress.
h
Store the units in areas where minimum activity is
likely to take place in order to avoid any risk of ac-
cidental damage.
h
Never use steam to clean the unit.
h
Remove all the keys required to have access to the
control panel and give them to the person in
charge of the field.
It is also recommended to provide for visual inspec-
tions at regular intervals.

Installation
4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Installation Site
Before installing the unit, make
sure that the building structure
and/or the supporting surface can
withstand the weight of the device.
The weights of the units are de-
tailed by Chapter 9 of this manual.
These units have been designed to be installed on
the floor, in the open air. As a standard, they are
equipped with rubber vibration-damping supports
which shall be arranged in the middle, beneath the
supporting plates.
When the unit is to be installed on the ground, pro-
vide for a concrete bedplate which shall assure a
uniform distribution of the weights.
No special subbase is generally required. Howev-
er, if the unit is to be installed above inhabited
rooms, it is recommended to place it on spring
shock absorbers (40-130 units) which shall reduce
to a minimum the transmission of vibrations to the
structures.
When selecting the installation site, never forget to
consider as follows:
h
The longitudinal axis of the unit shall be parallel
to the direction of the prevailing winds so as to
assure a uniform air distribution on finned ex-
changers.
h
The unit shall never be installed in the proximity
of chimneys for the discharge of boiler flue gas-
es.
h
The unit shall never be installed downwind of
sources of grease contaminated air, such as for
example the outlets of large-kitchen extractors.
Otherwise, grease might build up on the fins of
refrigerant / air exchangers or condensers, act
as a fixing agent for any sort of atmospheric im-
purity and rapidly cause the exchangers to clog.
h
The unit shall never be installed in areas exposed
to heavy snowfalls.
h
The unit shall never be installed in areas exposed
to flooding or beneath drip stones, etc.
h
The unit shall never be installed in narrow inner
court yards or in any other restricted space
where the noise may be reflected by the walls or
where the air expelled by the fans may short-cir-
cuit on the refrigerant/air heat exchangers or
condensers.
h
The installation site shall be characterised by the
presence of the space required for air circulation
and for the performance of maintenance opera-
tions (see chapter 9 for further details).
4.2 Defrost Water Drainage
(only for AQH units)
When AQH units operate in the heat pump mode,
they will discharge water from the bedplate during
defrost cycles.
For this reason it is recommended to install these
units with a minimum ground clearance of 200 mm
to allow the defrost water to drain freely as well as
to prevent it from freezing and forming any ice
build-up.
AQH units shall be installed where defrost water
may cause no damage.

damping device. Insert the jack assembled on the
vibration-damping device into the hole arranged
on the bedplate of the machine.
h
Fig. 3) Make sure that the bedplate of the ma-
chine is arranged on the flat washer (pos. E) of
the jack. Use a wrench 13 and act on the high
nut (pos. D) (Fig. 3) to balance any difference in
height.
Use a grower washer (pos. F) and act on the low
nut (pos. C) to lock the position you have

4.4 External Water Circuit
The external water circuit shall guarantee
a constant water flow rate through the cir-
culating refrigerant/water heat exchanger
(evaporator) under steady operating condi-
tions and in case of a load variation.
The circuit shall be composed by the following ele-
ments:
h
A circulation pump which can ensure the neces-
sary flow rate and head.
h
The total content of the primary water circuit shall
never be lower than 2.5 lt/kW in terms of refrig-
erating capacity. If the total water volume in the
primary circuit should be unable to reach such a
value, an additional heat-insulated storage tank
should be installed. This tank is intended to avoid
any repetitive start of the compressor.
h
A membrane expansion tank complete with a
safety valve and a drain which shall be visible.
The expansion tank shall be dimensioned
in such a way that it can absorb a 2% ex-
pansion of the total volume of the water in
the plant (exchanger, pipelines, uses and
storage tank, if available). The expansion
tank shall never be insulated when the cir-
culating fluid is not flowing through it.
A differential pressure switch is mounted on 20-35
units as a standard. It will stop the unit whenever it
senses a load loss through the heat exchanger
which may result in a flow rate problem.
A flow switch is supplied for larger units as a stan-
dard.
In addition:
h
Install on/off valves on the lines at the inlet and
outlet of the manifolds of the exchangers (evapo-
rator).
h
Arrange a by-pass complete with an on/off valve
between the manifolds of the heat exchangers.
h
Arrange air vent valves at the high points of the
water lines.
h
Arrange drain points complete with plugs, clocks,
etc. in the proximity of the low points of the water
lines.
h
Insulate the water lines to prevent the heat from
blowing back into the unit.

Before filling the installation, remove any
impurity, such as sand, crushed stones and
welding scales, coating drops and any
other material which might damage the
evaporator.
It is advisable to flush with disposable water by-
passing the exchanger to avoid clogging.
The water used to fill the circuit shall be
treated in such as way that the pH will
have the correct value.
When two or several units are connected in paral-
lel, to balance the load losses of the various cir-
cuits, it is recommended to execute a “reverse re-
turn” connection (see the diagram below).
4.5 Water connections
The attachments at the water inlet and out-
let shall be connected in compliance with
the instructions which can be found on the
labels in the proximity of the attachments.

starting from 40/50 have two tanks complete with
a standard connection. The kit will include an an-
tifreeze resistance, a drain cock, an automatic fill-
ing unit and an automatic air vent.
No pump is arranged on the kit since it is assumed
that the kit is meant for the units with a hydro option
where a pump and an expansion tank are already
available.
A tank arranged for mounting a heating booster re-
sistance kit may be optionally required (5 traps for
the kits from 20 to 50 and 8 traps for the kits for
larger sizes).
The tank is completely insulated with 30 Kg/m
3
closed cell polyethylene in a silver colour and en-
closed by a bearing structure made of passivated
and painted plates. The box is equipped with bulk-
heads which can be easily opened for internal in-
spection.
The kit is installed beneath the chiller. It is an inte-
gral part of the unit without changing the support
area.
Spring shock absorbers are also available for the
units starting from 40.
4.6.2 Supplied Material
The kits will be supplied with pipelines ready for in-
stallation. An antifreeze resistance with wiring, an
automatic water filling valve, a 3 bar safety valve,
a drain cock and a vent valve have already been
assembled.
Everything is placed on wooden pallets with wood-
en joists arranged on the kit for piling up and a film
for protection against atmospheric agents.
4.6.3 Operating Limits
The unit will guarantee the operation at an air tem-
perature of –10°C in a standard configuration with
one single antifreeze resistance.
4.6.4 Shock Absorbers
Shock absorbers are supplied for 20-35 sizes as a
standard. They shall be assembled by the customer
for 40-130 sizes during the installation.
IMPORTANT
Select the shock absorbers for the units with a hy-
dro kit.
4.6.5 Antifreeze Resistance
The antifreeze resistance of the tank (TEH) shall be
wired with the panel as it is shown by the diagram
attached to the unit.
4.6.6 Water Filter

4.6.7 Installation Procedure
The accumulation kits shall be arranged beneath
the unit. They will not change its overall dimensions
(Figure 3 and 4).
Arrange the rubber shock absorbers beneath the kit
before providing for its connection.
The installation of the spring shock ab-
sorbers will replace the installation of the
rubber shock absorbers supplied with the
accumulation kit.
Arrange the rubber shock absorbers between the
unit and the kit for the 40-130 units (Figure 4).
Tighten the screws into the holes arranged on the 4
corners in order to fasten the unit to the accumula-
tion kit.
Provide for the hydraulic and electrical connections.
In doing so, observe the diameters shown by the
quoted drawings.
The wiring for the standard antifreeze resistance is
arranged as it is shown by Figure 1 and 2 for the
different types of accumulation. The resistance is
connected with the main terminal box for the 20-25-
30-35 models and with the pull box arranged in the
fans department for larger sizes.
See the wiring diagram attached to the unit for the
correct execution of the electrical connections.

5 COMMISSIONING
The unit may only be started by the person-
nel trained by an authorised Itelco-Clima
Service Centre. Otherwise, the warranty
will be automatically made null and void.
The operations performed by the technical
service personnel are limited to the start-up
of the unit. They do not include any other
work on the installation, such as for exam-
ple the execution of electrical, hydraulic
connections, etc. All the other operations
preparatory to the start-up, including oil
pre-heating for at least 12 hours, shall be
carried out by the Installer.
5.1 Preliminary Checks
The following operations shall be performed before
the arrival of the Itelco-Clima personnel on site in
order to start up the unit.
h
Check the sections of supply cables, the ground
connection, the clamps of terminals and the good
operation of contactors when the main discon-
nector is open.
h
Make sure the R.S.T. phase sequence is correct.
h
Make sure the unbalance between the supply line
phases is within the limits as per Chapter 4.
h
Connect (without any supply) the flow switch con-
tacts, the pump thermal overload cut-out or any
other device to terminals 1-2 and 3-4.
h
Make sure the components of the water circuit
connected to the circulation refrigerant / fluid ex-
changer (pumps, sensors, uses, expansion tank
and storage tank, if any) are correctly installed in
compliance with the instructions of the manufac-
turers.
h
Make sure that the water circuits have been filled
and the circulation of the various fluids occurs
correctly, without any sign of leakage or air bub-
bles. If ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze,
make sure its mixture percentage is correct.
h
Make sure that the direction of rotation of the
pumps is correct and the fluids have circulated
for at least 12 hours for each pump. Clean the
baskets of the filters on the aspirating side of the
pumps.
h
Calibrate the installation so that the fluid will
have the specified flow rate.
h
Make sure the quality of the circulating fluid com-
plies with the specifications.
h
Make sure oil electrical heaters have been ener-
gised for at least 12 hours.
5.2 Starting
The starting sequence shall be performed as fol-
lows:
h
Close the main disconnector (at least 12 hours
before).
h
Make sure that the oil inside the compressors is
hot enough (the external temperature of the oil
pan shall be at least 40 °C) and the auxiliary cir-
cuit of controls is energised.
h
Make sure that the whole external equipment is
perfectly working and the control devices of the
installation are properly calibrated.
h
Start the pumps of the circulating fluids and make
sure they can deliver the flow rate required.
h
Set the fluid temperature you wish on the control
panel (refer to Chapter 6).
h
Start the unit you wish (refer to Chapter 6).
h
Check the direction of rotation of scroll compres-
sors.
h
After about 15 minutes make sure no gas bubble
is visible through the sight glass of the liquid line.
If air bubbles are visible through the sight
glass, it means that the unit has lost part of
its charge through one or several leakage
points. The leaks shall be removed. Refer
to Chapter 7.
h
Repeat the starting procedure after having re-
moved the leaks.
h
Make sure the oil level is correct.

7 MAINTENANCE
While discharging the refrigerating
circuits, never release the refriger-
ant into the atmosphere. Use prop-
er recovery equipment for the dis-
charge. If the recovered refrigerant
can not be reused, it shall be re-
turned to the producer.
Never dispose of the compressor oil
in the atmosphere since it contains
dissolved refrigerant. If used, the oil
shall be returned to the producer.
The Safety Section of this manual shall be
carefully read before performing any
maintenance operation on the unit.
Unless otherwise specified, the maintenance opera-
tions here below can be performed by any mainte-
nance technician who has been specifically trained.
7.1 General Information
Itelco-Clima AQL/AQH units have been designed
for constant operation, provided that they are regu-
larly serviced and operated within the limits speci-
fied by this manual. Every unit shall be serviced ac-
cording to a User / Customer schedule and regularly
inspected by the personnel from an authorised Itelco-
Clima Service Centre.
It is the User’s responsibility to fulfil these mainte-
nance requirements and/or make an agreement
with an Itelco-Clima Service Centre so as to protect
the operation of the device.
If any damage or failure should occur as a result of
improper maintenance during the warranty period,
Itelco-Clima will not be liable for any cost required to
restore the original state of the device.
This section is only applicable for basic AQL/AQH
units. According to the circumstances, it might be
supplemented with additional instructions as a result
of any change which may be made to the unit or to
the use of the ancillary equipment.
7.2 Daily Maintenance
Maintenance checks shall be performed by a com-
petent person according to the schedule here
below.

Maintenance
7.3 Refrigerant Charge
AQL/AQH units operating with R407C
shall be exclusively charged with refriger-
ant in the liquid state to prevent the refriger-
ant composition from altering. A service
valve is arranged for charging the unit at
low pressure.
If the charge is not enough, the unit will reduce its
performance. In extreme cases, the low pressure
switch might trip and cause the unit to stop.
If the charge is too large, the condensation pressure
might increase to such an extent that it might cause
the high pressure switch to trip and the unit to stop.
The compressors of the unit shall never be
used as vacuum pumps to discharge the
corresponding circuits.
The refrigerating circuit shall be recharged whenev-
er it has been discharged for maintenance purposes
(elimination of leaks, compressor repair, etc.).
Charge quantities are specified by Chapter 9.
Before being charged, every circuit shall be dried
and vacuum-purged so that the absolute pressure
may not exceed 50 Pa inside it.
7.4 Compressors
Compressors are supplied with the oil quantity re-
quired for operation. This charge should last as long
as the compressor under normal operating condi-
tions. The lubricant shall not be topped up as long as
the refrigerating circuit is operating correctly and un-
til no repair has been carried out.
If a compressor is faulty and it is to be replaced, re-
placement may be only carried out by the personnel
of an Authorised Service Centre.
7.5 Refrigerant/Air Exchangers
They are made up of copper tubes and aluminium
fins. If the refrigerant should leak as a result of an ac-
cidental damage, repair operations may be only car-
ried out by the personnel of an Authorised Service
Centre.
To make service and maintenance operations easier,
the external surfaces of these exchangers shall al-
ways be kept free of any impurity, such as leaves, fi-
bres, insects, etc. If heat exchangers are dirty, the
power absorbed may increase. This may also cause
the unit to reach such a pressure threshold which
might trigger an alarm and cause the unit to stop.
Avoid damaging the aluminium finned
pack during cleaning.
The internal side of the finned pack of these ex-
changers can be cleaned by compressed air orient-
ed parallel to the finned pack and in a direction op-
posite to that of the normal air circulation. The exter-
nal side can be cleaned by a vacuum cleaner. The
finned pack of these exchangers can be also
cleaned by spraying a water and soap solution.
7.6 Fans of the Refrigerant/Air
Exchangers
Each fan has got an impeller with wing contoured
blades and a cylindrical conveyor. The bearings of
the motors are life lubricated for life.
7.7 Dryer Filter
Refrigerating circuits are complete with dryer filters.
These filters can not be inspected and they are com-
plete with a mechanical filter. When the dryer filter is
clogged, this is shown by the presence of gas bub-
bles in the sight glass and by a temperature differ-
ence between the side upstream and downstream
the filter.
If the presence of gas bubbles should persist after the
filter cartridge has been replaced, it means that the
unit has lost part of the refrigerant charge through
one or more leaks which shall be identified and re-
paired.
Page 40
Maintenance
7.8 Sight Glass
The sight glass is used to observe the liquid refriger-
ant flow and to find out if there is some humidity in-
side it. If there are some gas bubbles in the liquid
flow, it means that the dryer filter is clogged or that
the refrigerant charge has partially leaked out.
A coloured indicator is arranged inside the sight
glass. If you compare its colour with the chromatic
scale arranged on the external ring of the sight
glass, you may find out if there is some humidity in
the refrigerant. If the humidity content should be too
high:
h
Discharge the circuit and collect the refrigerant.
The circuit shall be then vacuum-purged and
recharged.
7.9 Thermal Expansion Valves
The refrigerating circuits of the AQL/AQH units are
equipped with a thermal expansion valve complete
with an external equaliser. This valve is calibrated at
works to ensure 5 K overheating.
Act as follows to control overheating:
Read the suction pressure by using a manometer
connected with the filling valve on the suction side.
Use the thermometric scale of the manometer to iden-
tify the Tsa saturated temperature corresponding to
the pressure you have measured.
Measure the Tse effective suction temperature by us-
ing a contact thermometer arranged on the attach-
ment at the outlet of the evaporator gas.
Overheating is calculated as follows:
S = Tse – Tsa
Or use the Menu function
Overheating can be changed by acting on the cali-
brating screw of the thermal expansion valve. Turn
this screw clockwise to increase overheating. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease overheating.
The valve shall be calibrated again by turning the
calibrating screw by one revolution at a time and
then by operating the unit for 5 minutes. After this pe-
riod of time has elapsed, check overheating and cor-
rect it again, if required.
The thermal expansion valves of the AQH
models shall be calibrated with the utmost
care since every circuit of these units has
got one single thermal expansion valve
which is used both in cooling and in heat-
ing mode.
If the thermal expansion valve can not react to the
overheating calibration, it means that it is not operat-
ing correctly and that it shall be replaced. The ther-
mal expansion valve may be only replaced by an
Authorised Service Centre.
7.10 Refrigerant / Circulating Fluid
Exchanger
The cleanness of these exchangers on the water side
shall be checked at regular intervals. This can be ac-
complished by checking the load loss on the water
side (see Chapter 9) or by checking the difference
between the incoming and outgoing fluid tempera-
ture and by comparing these values with the evapo-
ration temperature.
The difference between the outgoing fluid tempera-
ture and the evaporation temperature shall lie be-
tween 5 and 7 K to enable the heat exchange to oc-
cur optimally. A greater difference means that the ex-
changer is not working optimally since it is dirty.
In these cases, this exchanger shall be chemically
cleaned by the personnel authorised by the manufac-
turer.
Contact an Authorised Service Centre for any other
type of operation (extraordinary maintenance, re-
placement of the whole exchanger, etc.).
Contact an Authorised Service Centre for any other
type of service (extraordinary maintenance, replace-
ment of heat exchangers, etc.).

Dismantling, Demolition and Scrapping
11 DISMANTLING, DEMOLITION
AND SCRAPPING
While discharging the refrigerating
circuits, never release the refriger-
ant into the atmosphere. Use prop-
er recovery equipment for the dis-
charge.
Never dispose of the compressor
oil in the atmosphere since it con-
tains dissolved refrigerant.
Contact the competent authority for any
information about disposal.
Unless otherwise specified, the operations de-
scribed here below can be performed by any main-
tenance technician who has been specifically
trained.
11.1 General Information
Open any line which may supply the unit, including
those of control circuits. Make sure that all discon-
nectors are secured in the OFF position. The supply
cables can be also disconnected and disassembled.
Refer to Chapter 4 for the position of connection
points.
Remove all the refrigerant from the refrigerating cir-
cuits of the unit and store it in containers by making
use of a recovery unit. If its features are intact, the
refrigerant can be reused. Contact the competent
authority for any information about disposal. The re-
frigerant may be discharged in the atmosphere un-
der NO circumstance. The oil which may be found
in any refrigerating circuit shall be drained to be
collected in a container and disposed of in compli-
ance with the local standards about the disposal of
exhaust lubricants. Any oil leakage shall be recov-
ered and disposed of in the same way.
Detach the unit exchanger(s) from the external wa-
ter circuits and drain the heat exchanger section(s)
of the plant. If no on/off valve has been installed, it
might be necessary to drain the whole plant.
If a glycol solution or a similar fluid
has been used in the water
circuit(s) or if chemical additives
have been added to the circulating
water, the circulating fluid SHALL
be properly disposed of. A circuit
containing glycol water or a similar
solution may be directly dis-
charged in a sewer system or in
surface water under NO circum-
stance.
After having provided for the drainage, disconnect
and disassemble the pipelines of water networks.
Packaged units can generally be disassembled in
one piece after having been disconnected as
above. For this purpose disassemble the anchor
screws and then lift the unit from its installation site
by using the lifting devices and lifting points
arranged.
Refer to Chapter 4 for the installation of these de-
vices, to Chapter 9 for their weights and to Chapter
3 for their handling.
The units which can not be removed in one piece
after having been disconnected shall be dismantled
on site. Special care shall be paid to the weight of
each component when handling. It is always recom-
mended to dismantle the units in the reverse order
of their installation.
Residual oil, glycol water or
residues of similar solutions may
remain in some parts of the unit.
These residues shall be either re-
covered or disposed of as instruct-
ed above.
During the removal of a component it is very impor-
tant to ensure that the remaining components of the
unit are secured.
Only use the lifting equipment of
adequate capacity.
The components of the unit can be disposed of ac-
cording to the rules in force after having been dis-
assembled.

are subject to change without prior notice. Non contractual photos.
