- Tighten the hoisting straps gradually, ensuring that
they are correctly positioned.
- Begin hoisting the unit.

OPERATING SPACES

The customer should check that the strength of the supporting


surface is suitable for the weight of the unit.

It is unnecessary to fix the unit to the floor for correct operation.


If the floor is rough, to ensure a level surface and prevent even
the smallest of vibrations, it is advisable to insert a continuous
rubber sheet the same size as the base supports.
It is also advisable to make sure the unit is level. Should this
be impossible or difficult to accomplish, the unit must not tilt
more than 0.5°.

For a correct operation and for maintenance interventions


respect the free space around the unit (see figure).

INSTALLATION

The units must be installed without obstructing the air intakes.

When installing under a canopy roof, this roof must be at least 3 meters above the top of the unit.

Examples of correct installation are shown in the figures.

WATER CONNECTIONS

Authorised personnel: Maintenance mechanic

Before carrying out the water connections to the user positions on the water circuit, the installed piping must be flushed
through to eliminate machining residues and in any case to reveal any leaks.

Water drain
This outlet is fitted with a hose connecting tap suitable for
attaching, and securing with a hose clamp, a plastic hose
with an inside diameter of 13 mm. It allows the filling of
the tank connetting it to the water net. During the unfilling
of the inside tank (if present), it allows to drain the water
to the extern.

Air purge

attaching, and securing with a hose clamp, a plastic hose
with an inside diameter of 13 mm. During the unfilling of
the inside tank (if present), it allows to drain the water to

Water outlet
This connection is male and has a diameter that changes
by the size of the unit as for following table. Connect the
outlet pipe of the chilled water to the plant.
The diameter of the pipe must be equal or major of

Water inlet
This connection is male and has a diameter that changes
by the size of the unit as for following table. Connect the
intlet pipe of the heated water from the plant.
The diameter of the pipe must be equal or major of
the diameter of the outlet connection.

Condensate drain
“IP” chiller has got a special condesate water recipient
positioned under the air condenser; Since the tray
collects rainwater it is not compulsory for the outlet to be
connected to a drain. In any case the water may be
drained off with a plastic hose secured with a hose
clamp, the value of the hose diameter being given in the
table.

Safety valves installation


All the units are fitted with a safety valve on the water side. The purpose of this valve is to drain to the outside through a
pipe. It is therefore advisable to connect the valve to a pipe of at least the same diameter in order to convey any discharge
from the valve to the outside. This pipe must be located so that the discharge can cause no damage to property or injury to
persons. The pipe must also be suitably supported so that it does not weigh on the valve.
The installation must be in conformity with current safety regulations.

If units are not used during the winter, fully drain the water system of all units installed outdoors. If operation is
envisaged also in this period or in any case with low ambient temperatures, antifreeze mixtures must be used.
With indoor installations, drainage is in any case necessary when the room temperature falls to
below 0°C.

For installation diagrams, refer to the examples given in the section “Installation”.
Always fit ball shutoff valves on the water inlet and outlet.
If it is possible that the water may be dirty, also install a “Y” filter on the water inlet.
For more information please contact the After Sales Department of Euroklimat S.p.A..

If the USER needs to disassemble some parts for which the procedure is not given in this manual, it is indispensable to
request permission and the relevant procedure from “Euroklimat”.

Any assembly/disassembly carried out by the USER that is not contemplated in this manual or authorised by “Euroklimat”,
will be considered as tampering, thereby jeopardising the safety functions and invalidating the warranty of the unit.

During construction of the unit all necessary measures are taken to ensure cleanliness in all the parts. After installation,
clean the unit removing the protective substances. Use soft cloths and harmless detergent substances for cleaning, which
do not damage the surfaces.

The unit is always tested and inspected in the factory prior to delivery and requires no further controls.

When starting for the first time, check the correct


direction of rotation of the pump. To do this, close the ball
valve fitted at the unit water inlet and outlet, as described
in the paragraph “water connections” in the section
“Commissioning”. Fully open the by-pass. Using the
pressure gauge on the unit check that the circuit is
pressurised. If it is not, switch off the unit using the power
on/off switch and invert the connection phases at the
on/off switch input, paying attention to the possible
presence of current. Then check the working pressure
with the pressure gauge on the unit. Make sure that there
are no automatic valves, which could reduce the flow,
and that the circuit shutoff valves are fully open. Use the
handle of the by-pass valve to adjust the pressure until
the liquid pressure gauge indicator is in the appropriate
sector. This sector is specific for each type of pump
(standard or uprated) and for each model. The table
below indicates the operating range for each
combination.

indicated in the figure.
Frequency: once a month
Checks: after a certain number of hours of operation
- check the centrifugal fan belt tension. It could
have slackened and therefore start to slip on the
pulleys.
Should such a situation persist, it would cause
overheating with consequent wear and breaking of the
belt.
Belt tension is acceptable when the belt can be pushed
down, in the halfway point between the two pulleys, by
approx. 20mm.
For the check, proceed as follows:
- switch off the unit by putting the switch to ‘0’ and
padlock it in that position;
- check that there are no moving parts;

Checking the condensing coil


Authorised personnel: maintenance mechanic
Frequency: once a month
Checks:
- visually check from outside the unit if there is any dirt, such as paper, dry leaves or simply dust, on the coil. The
presence of such deposits causes a reduction in the air flow with a consequent reduction of efficiency and the
possibility that the high pressure switch could trip resulting in the unit stopping.

Checking the electrical equipment


Authorised personnel: maintenance electrician
Frequency: once a month
Checks:
- check the wiring to ensure that there are no loose wires at connection points and no possibility of doubtful contacts.
For the check, proceed as follows:
- switch off the unit by putting the switch to ‘0’;
- check that there are no moving parts;
- once the unit has stopped, open the electrical panel;
- gently tug the wires of the contacts to check that the wiring up is secure;
- if necessary tighten the screws using a screwdriver.

R407c GAS CHEMICAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

PRODUCT NAME: REFRIGERANT GAS R407c

COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
EEC No.: 200-839-4 HFC32, 206-557-8 HFC125, 212-377-0 HFC134a

HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT(S) CAS No. % (w/w) Symbol R Phrases


Difluoromethane (HFC 32) 000075-10-5 23 F+ R12
Pentafluoroethane (HFC 125) 000354-33-6 25
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC 134a) 000811-97-2 52

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Low acute toxicity. High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric
concentrations may cause anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation.
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns to skin and eyes.

FIRST-AID MEASURES
The first aid advice given for skin contact, eye contact, and ingestion is applicable following exposures to the liquid or spray.
See also TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Inhalation: Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Administer oxygen if necessary. Apply artificial
respiration if breathing has ceased or shows signs of failing. In the event of cardiac arrest apply external
cardiac massage. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Skin Contact: Thaw affected areas with water. Remove contaminated clothing. Caution: clothing may adhere to the skin in the case of
freeze burns. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of warm water. If irritation or blistering occur obtain
medical attention.

Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water, holding the eyelids apart, for at least 10 minutes.
Obtain immediate medical attention.

Ingestion: Unlikely route of exposure.


Do not induce vomiting. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water and give 200-300 ml (half a pint)
of water to drink. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Further Medical Treatment


Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy as indicated.
Adrenaline and similar sympathomimetic drugs should be avoided following exposure as cardiac arrhythmia may result with possible
subsequent cardiac arrest.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
This refrigerant is not flammable in air under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. Certain mixtures of this refrigerant and air
when under pressure may be flammable. Mixtures of this refrigerant and air under pressure should be avoided.
Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions.
Thermal decomposition will evolve very toxic and corrosive vapours. ( hydrogen fluoride )
Containers may burst if overheated.

Extinguishing Media: As appropriate for surrounding fire. Water spray should be used to cool containers.

Fire Fighting Protective Equipment: A self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in fire conditions.
See Also EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages. See Also EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Provided it is safe to do so, isolate the source of the leak. Allow small spillages to evaporate provided there is adequate ventilation.
Large spillages: Ventilate area. Contain spillages with sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material. Prevent liquid from entering drains,
sewers, basements and workpits since the vapour may create a suffocating atmosphere.

HANDLING AND STORAGE


HANDLING
Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of vapours. Atmospheric levels should be controlled in compliance with the occupational exposure
limit. Atmospheric concentrations well below the occupational exposure limit can be achieved by good occupational hygiene practice.
The vapour is heavier than air, high concentrations may be produced at low levels where general ventilation is poor, in such cases provide
adequate ventilation or wear suitable respiratory protective equipment with positive air supply.
Avoid contact with naked flames and hot surfaces as corrosive and very toxic decomposition products can be formed.
Avoid contact between the liquid and skin and eyes.
For correct refrigerant composition, systems should be charged using the liquid phase and not the vapour phase.

“IP” RANGE
Use & Maintenance Manual

Process Hazards
Liquid refrigerant transfers between refrigerant containers and to and from systems can result in static generation. Ensure
adequate earthing.
Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions.
STORAGE
Keep in a well ventilated place. Keep in a cool place away from fire risk, direct sunlight and all sources of heat such as electric and steam
radiators.
Avoid storing near to the intake of air conditioning units, boiler units and open drains.
Cylinders and Drums:
Keep container dry.
Storage temperature (Deg C): < 45

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Wear thermal insulating gloves when handling liquefied gases.
In cases of insufficient ventilation, where exposure to high concentrations of vapour is possible, suitable respiratory protective equipment
with positive air supply should be used.

Hazardous Decomposition Product(s): hydrogen fluoride by thermal decomposition and hydrolysis.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation
High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric concentrations may cause
anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation.

Skin Contact
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns. Unlikely to be hazardous by skin absorption.

Eye Contact
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns.

Ingestion
Highly unlikely - but should this occur freeze burns will result.

Long Term Exposure


HFC 32: An inhalation study in animals has shown that repeated exposures produce no significant effects (49,500ppm in rats).

HFC 125: An inhalation study in animals has shown that repeated exposures produce no significant effects (50,000ppm in rats).

HFC 134a: A lifetime inhalation study in rats has shown that exposure to 50,000ppm resulted in benign tumours of the testis.
The increased tumour incidence was observed only after prolonged exposure to high levels, and is considered not to be
of relevance to humans occupationally exposed to HFC 134a at or below the occupational exposure limit.

R134a GAS CHEMICAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

PRODUCT NAME: REFRIGERANT GAS R134a

COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
CAS No.: 000811-97-2
EEC No.: 212-377-0

HAZARDOUS INGREDIENT(S) CAS No. Symbol R Phrases


1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC 134a) 000811-97-2

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Low acute toxicity. High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric
concentrations may cause anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation.
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns to skin and eyes.

FIRST-AID MEASURES
The first aid advice given for skin contact, eye contact, and ingestion is applicable following exposures to the liquid or spray.
See also TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
Inhalation: Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Administer oxygen if necessary. Apply artificial
respiration if breathing has ceased or shows signs of failing. In the event of cardiac arrest apply external
cardiac massage. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Skin Contact: Thaw affected areas with water. Remove contaminated clothing. Caution: clothing may adhere to the skin in the case of
freeze burns. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of warm water. If irritation or blistering occur obtain
medical attention.

Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with eyewash solution or clean water, holding the eyelids apart, for at least 10 minutes.
Obtain immediate medical attention.

Ingestion: Unlikely route of exposure.


Do not induce vomiting. Provided the patient is conscious, wash out mouth with water and give 200-300 ml (half a pint)
of water to drink. Obtain immediate medical attention.

Further Medical Treatment


Symptomatic treatment and supportive therapy as indicated.
Adrenaline and similar sympathomimetic drugs should be avoided following exposure as cardiac arrhythmia may result with possible
subsequent cardiac arrest.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
This refrigerant is not flammable in air under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. Certain mixtures of this refrigerant and air
when under pressure may be flammable. Mixtures of this refrigerant and air under pressure should be avoided.
Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions.
Thermal decomposition will evolve very toxic and corrosive vapours. ( hydrogen fluoride )
Containers may burst if overheated.

Extinguishing Media: As appropriate for surrounding fire. Water spray should be used to cool containers.

Fire Fighting Protective Equipment: A self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in fire conditions.
See Also EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES


Ensure suitable personal protection (including respiratory protection) during removal of spillages. See Also EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION.
Provided it is safe to do so, isolate the source of the leak. Allow small spillages to evaporate provided there is adequate ventilation.
Large spillages: Ventilate area. Contain spillages with sand, earth or any suitable adsorbent material. Prevent liquid from entering drains,
sewers, basements and workpits since the vapour may create a suffocating atmosphere.

HANDLING AND STORAGE


HANDLING
Avoid inhalation of high concentrations of vapours. Atmospheric levels should be controlled in compliance with the occupational exposure
limit. Atmospheric concentrations well below the occupational exposure limit can be achieved by good occupational hygiene practice.
The vapour is heavier than air, high concentrations may be produced at low levels where general ventilation is poor, in such cases provide
adequate ventilation or wear suitable respiratory protective equipment with positive air supply.
Avoid contact with naked flames and hot surfaces as corrosive and very toxic decomposition products can be formed.
Avoid contact between the liquid and skin and eyes.
For correct refrigerant composition, systems should be charged using the liquid phase and not the vapour phase.

Use & Maintenance Manual

STORAGE
Keep in a well ventilated place. Keep in a cool place away from fire risk, direct sunlight and all sources of heat such as electric and steam
radiators.
Avoid storing near to the intake of air conditioning units, boiler units and open drains.
Cylinders and Drums:
Keep container dry.
Storage temperature (Deg C): < 45

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION


Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Wear thermal insulating gloves when handling liquefied gases.
In cases of insufficient ventilation, where exposure to high concentrations of vapour is possible, suitable respiratory protective equipment
with positive air supply should be used.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY


Hazardous Reactions: Certain mixtures of HFCs and chlorine may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions.
Incompatible materials: finely divided metals, magnesium and alloys containing more than 2% magnesium.
Can react violently if in contact with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals -sodium, potassium, barium.
Hazardous Decomposition Product(s): hydrogen fluoride by thermal decomposition and hydrolysis.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation
High exposures may cause an abnormal heart rhythm and prove suddenly fatal. Very high atmospheric concentrations may cause
anaesthetic effects and asphyxiation.

Skin Contact
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns. Unlikely to be hazardous by skin absorption.

Eye Contact
Liquid splashes or spray may cause freeze burns.

Ingestion
Highly unlikely - but should this occur freeze burns will result.

Long Term Exposure


A lifetime inhalation study in rats has shown that exposure to 50,000ppm resulted in benign tumours of the testis.
The increased tumour incidence was observed only after prolonged exposure to high levels, and is considered not to be of relevance to
humans occupationally exposed to HFC 134a at or below the occupational exposure limit.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environmental Fate and Distribution
High tonnage material produced in wholly contained systems. High tonnage material used in open systems. Vapour.

Persistence and Degradation


Decomposed comparatively rapidly in the lower atmosphere (troposphere). Atmospheric lifetime is 13.6 year(s).
Has a Halocarbon Global Warming Potential (HGWP) of 0.30 (relative to a value of 1 for CFC 11) or a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of
1300 (relative to a value of 1 for carbon dioxide at 100 years).

Effect on Effluent Treatment


Discharges of the product will enter the atmosphere and will not result in long term aqueous contamination.

DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Best to recover and recycle. If this is not possible, destruction is to be in an approved facility which is equipped to absorb and neutralise
acid gases and other toxic processing products.
