41 - INTRODUCTION

Prior to the initial start-up of the 30RH units, the peopleinvolved in the on-site installation, start-up, operation, andmaintenance of this unit should be thoroughly familiar withthese instructions and the specific project data for theinstallation site.

The 30RH heat pumps are designed to provide a very highlevel of safety during installation, start-up, operation andmaintenance. They will provide safe and reliable service whenoperated within their application range.

This manual provides the necessary information to familiarizeyourself with the control system before performing start-upprocedures. The procedures in this manual are arranged in thesequence required for machine installation, start-up, operationand maintenance.

Be sure you understand and follow the procedures and safetyprecautions contained in the instructions supplied with themachine, as well as those listed in this guide.

Earthquake resistance has not been verified for standard units.

1.1 - Installation safety considerations

This machine must be installed in a location that is not accessibleto the public and protected against access by non-authorisedpeople.

After the unit has been received, when it is ready to be installedor reinstalled, and before it is started up, it must be inspectedfor damage. Check that the refrigerant circuit(s) is (are) intact.Ensure especially that no components or pipes have shifted(e.g. following a shock). If in doubt, carry out a leak tightnesscheck and verify with the manufacturer that the circuit integrityhas not been impaired. If damage is detected upon receipt,immediately file a claim with the shipping company.

Do not remove the skid or the packaging until the unit is in itsfinal position. These units can be moved with a fork lift truck,as long as the forks are positioned in the right place anddirection on the unit.

The units can also be lifted with slings, using only the desig-nated lifting points marked at the four corners at the unit base.

These units are not designed to be lifted from above. Useslings with the correct capacity, and always follow the liftinginstructions on the certified drawings supplied with the unit.

Safety is only guaranteed, if these instructions are carefullyfollowed. If this is not the case, there is a risk of materialdeterioration and injuries to personnel.

Never cover any safety devices.

This applies to the globe valve in the water circuit and theglobe valve(s) in the refrigerant circuit(s).

Ensure that the valves are correctly installed, before operatingthe unit.

In certain cases the globe stops are installed on ball valves.These valves are factory-supplied lead-sealed in the openposition. This system permits isolating and removing theglobe stop for checking and replacing. The globe stops aredesigned and installed to ensure protection against fire risk.Removing the globe stops is only permitted if the fire risk isfully controlled and the responsibility of the user.

All factory-installed globe valves are lead-sealed to preventany calibration change. If the globe valves are installed on areversing valve (change-over), this is equipped with a globevalve on each of the two outlets. Only one of the two glovevalves is in operation, the other one is isolated. Never leavethe reversing valve in the intermediate position, i.e. with bothways open (locate the control element in the stop position). Ifa globe stop is removed for checking or replacement pleaseensure that there is always an active globe stop on each of thereversing valves installed in the unit.

Provide a drain in the discharge circuit, close to each valve,to avoid an accumulation of condensate or rain water.

The safety valves must be connected to discharge pipes. Thesepipes must be installed in a way that ensures that people andproperty are not exposed to refrigerant leaks. These fluidsmay be diffused in the air, but far away from any building airintake, or they must be discharged in a quantity that isappropriate for a suitably absorbing environment.

Periodic check of the globe valves: See paragraphMaintenance safety considerations.

Accumulation of refrigerant in an enclosed space candisplace oxygen and cause asphyxiation or explosions.

Inhalation of high concentrations of vapour is harmful andmay cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death.Vapour is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygenavailable for breathing. These products cause eye and skinirritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.

1.2 - Equipment and components under pressure

These products incorporate equipment or components underpressure, manufactured by Carrier or other manufacturers. Werecommend that you consult your appropriate national tradeassociation or the owner of the equipment or components underpressure (declaration, re-qualification, retesting, etc.). Thecharacteristics of this equipment/these components are givenon the nameplate or in the required documentation, suppliedwith the products.

Do not introduce high static and dynamic pressure comparedwith the existing operating pressures - either service or testpressures in the refrigerant circuit or in the heat transfer circuit,especially:- limiting the elevation of the condensers or evaporators- taking the circulating pumps into consideration.

51.4 - Repair safety considerations

All installation parts must be maintained by the personnel incharge, in order to avoid material deterioration and injuries topeople. Faults and leaks must be repaired immediately. Theauthorized technician must have the responsibility to repair thefault immediately. Each time repairs have been carried out tothe unit, the operation of the safety devices must be re-checked.

If a leak occurs or if the refrigerant becomes polluted (e.g. by ashort circuit in a motor) remove the complete charge using arecovery unit and store the refrigerant in mobile containers(careful in case the refrigerant decomposes due to high tempera-ture increases, as the decomposition products are dangerous).

If a leak occurs, evacuate all refrigerant, repair the leak detectedand recharge the circuit with the total R407C charge, as indi-cated on the unit name plate. Never top up the charge. Onlycharge liquid refrigerant R407C at the liquid line.

Ensure that you are using the correct refrigerant type beforerecharging the unit.Charging any refrigerant other than the original charge type(R407C) will impair machine operation and can even lead toa destruction of the compressors. The compressors operatingwith this refrigerant type are charged with a syntheticpolyolester oil.

These units have a hermetic refrigerant circuit and theoriginal charge need not be topped up.

Do not use oxygen to purge lines or to pressurize a machinefor any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil, grease,and other common substances.

Never exceed the specified maximum operating pressures.Verify the allowable maximum high- and low-side test pres-sures by checking the instructions in this manual and thepressures given on the unit name plate.

Do not use air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or drynitrogen.

Do not unweld or flamecut the refrigerant lines or any refri-gerant circuit component until all refrigerant (liquid andvapour) has been removed from unit. Traces of vapourshould be displaced with dry air nitrogen. Refrigerant incontact with an open flame produces toxic gases.

The necessary protection equipment must be available, andappropriate fire extinguishers for the system and therefrigerant type used must be within easy reach.

Do not siphon refrigerant.

Avoid spilling liquid refrigerant on skin or splashing it intothe eyes. Use safety goggles. Wash any spills from the skinwith soap and water. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes,immediately and abundantly flush the eyes with water andconsult a doctor.

Never apply an open flame or live steam to a refrigerantcontainer. Dangerous overpressure can result. If it isnecessary to heat refrigerant, use only warm water.

1.3 - Maintenance safety considerations

Engineers working on the electric or refrigeration componentsmust be authorized and fully qualified to do so (electricianstrained and qualified in accordance with IEC 60364 Classi-fication BA4).

All refrigerant circuit repairs must be carried out by a trainedperson, fully qualified to work on these units. He must havebeen trained and be familiar with the equipment and theinstallation, and he must wear the necessary protective items(gloves, glasses, protective clothes, safety shoes).

Soldering and welding: Component, piping and connectionsoldering and welding operations must be carried out using thecorrect procedures and by qualified operators. Pressurisedcontainers must not be subjected to shocks, nor to largetemperature variations during maintenance and repair operations.

Never work on a unit that is still energized.

Never work on any of the electrical components, until thegeneral power supply to the unit has been cut using thedisconnect switch in the control box.

If any maintenance operations are carried out on the unit,lock the power supply circuit in the open position ahead ofthe machine.

If the work is interrupted, always ensure that all circuits arestill deenergized before resuming the work.

ATTENTION: Even if the unit has been switched off, thepower circuit remains energized, unless the unit or circuitdisconnect switch is open. Refer to the wiring diagram forfurther details. Attach appropriate safety labels.

Operating checks: During the life-time of the system,inspection and tests must be carried out in accordance withnational regulations.

The information on operating inspections given in annex C ofstandard EN378-2 can be used if no similar criteria exist inthe national regulations.

Safety device checks (annex C6 EN378-2): The safetydevices must be checked on site once a year for safety devices(high-pressure switches), and every five years for externaloverpressure devices (safety globe valves).

Contact Carrier Service for a detailed explanation of thehigh-pressure switch test method.

If the machine operates in a corrosive environment, inspectthe protection devices more frequently.

Regularly carry out leak tests and immediately repair anyleaks.

6During refrigerant removal and storage operations followapplicable regulations. These regulations, permitting condition-ing and recovery of halogenated hydrocarbons under opti-mum quality conditions for the products and optimum safetyconditions for people, property and the environment aredescribed in standard NFE 29795.

Any refrigerant transfer and recovery operations must becarried out using a transfer unit. A 3/8 SAE connector onthe manual liquid line valve is supplied with all units forconnection to the transfer station. The units must never bemodified to add refrigerant and oil charging, removal andpurging devices. All these devices are provided with the units.Please refer to the certified dimensional drawings for the units.

Do not re-use disposable (non-returnable) cylinders orattempt to refill them. It is dangerous and illegal. Whencylinders are empty, evacuate the remaining gas pressure,and move the cylinders to a place designated for theirrecovery. Do not incinerate.

Do not attempt to remove refrigerant circuit components orfittings, while the machine is under pressure or while it isrunning. Be sure pressure is at 0 kPa before removingcomponents or opening a circuit.

Any manipulation (opening or closing) of a shut-off valvemust be carried out by a qualified and authorised engineer.These procedures must be carried out with the unit shut-down.

NOTE: The unit must never be left shut down with the liquidline valve closed, as liquid refrigerant can be trapped betweenthis valve and the expansion device. (This valve is situated onthe liquid line before the filter drier box.)

Do not attempt to repair or recondition any safety deviceswhen corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt,scale, etc.) is found within the valve body or mechanism. Ifnecessary, replace the device. Do not install safety valves inseries or backwards.

CAUTIONDo not step on refrigerant lines. The lines can break underthe weight and release refrigerant, causing personal injury.

No part of the unit must use feet, racks or supports duringoperation. Periodically monitor and repair or if necessaryreplace any component or piping that shows signs of damage.

Do not climb on a machine. Use a platform, or staging towork at higher levels.

Use mechanical lifting equipment (crane, hoist, etc.) to lift ormove heavy components such as compressors or plate heatexchangers. For lighter components, use lifting equipmentwhen there is a risk of slipping or losing your balance.

Use only original replacement parts for any repair or compo-nent replacement. Consult the list of replacement parts thatcorresponds to the specification of the original equipment.

Do not drain water circuits containing industrial brines,without informing the technical service department at theinstallation site or a competent body first.

Close the entering and leaving water shutoff valves andpurge the unit hydronic circuit, before working on thecomponents installed on the circuit (screen filter, pump, waterflow switch, etc.).

Periodically inspect all valves, fittings and pipes of therefrigerant and hydronic circuits to ensure that they do notshow any corrosion or any signs of leaks.

72.2 - Moving and siting the unit

2.2.1 - Moving

See chapter Installation safety considerations.

2.2.2 - Siting the unit

Always refer to the chapter "Dimensions and clearances" toconfirm that there is adequate space for all connections andservice operations. For the centre of gravity coordinates, theposition of the unit mounting holes, and the weight distribu-tion points, refer to the certified dimensional drawing suppliedwith the unit.

CAUTION: Only use slings at the designated lifting pointswhich are marked on the unit.

Before siting the unit make the following checks: Check that the permitted loading at the site is adequate or

that appropriate strenghtening measures have been taken. If the unit will operate as a heat pump in temperatures

below 0C it must be raised at least 300 mm from theground. This is necessary to avoid ice build-up on the unitchassis and also to permit correct unit operation inlocations where the snow level may reach this height. Theunit must be installed level in both axes (less than 2 mmtolerance per metre).

Check that there is adequate space above the unit for airflow.

Check that there are adequate support points and that theyare in the right places.

Check that the location is not subject to flooding. Where heavy snowfall is likely and long periods of sub-

zero temperatures are normal, it is imperative to preventsnow accumulating by raising the unit above the height ofdrifts normally experienced.

Baffles may be necessary to deflect strong winds and toprevent snow from blowing directly into the unit. Theymust not restrict air flow into the unit.

CAUTION: Before lifting the unit, check that all casingpanels are securely fixed in place. Lift and set down the unitwith great care. Tilting and jarring can damage the unit andimpair unit operation.

The 30RH units can be hoisted with rigging. Coils shouldalways be protected against crushing while a unit is beingmoved. Use struts or spreader bars to spread the slings abovethe unit. Do not tilt a unit more than 15.

WARNING: Never push or lever on any of the enclosurepanels of the unit. Only the base of the unit frame is designedto withstand such stresses.

2 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS

6.3 - Minimum water flow rate

If the installation flow rate is below the minimum flow rate,there is a risk of excessive fouling. Recirculation of the heatexchanger water flow can prevent this problem.

6.4 - Maximum heat exchanger water flow rate

This is limited by the permitted heat exchanger pressure drop.Also, a minimum heat exchanger T of 2.8 K must beguaranteed, which corresponds to a water flow rate of 0.9 l/sper kW.

7.2 - Voltage phase imbalance (%)

100 x max. deviation from average voltageAverage voltage

Example:On a 400 V - 3 ph - 50 Hz supply, the individual phase voltageswere measured to be:

AB = 406 V ; BC = 399 ; AC = 394 V

Average voltage = (406 + 399 + 394)/3 = 1199/3= 399.7 say 400 V

Calculate the maximum deviation from the 400 V average:(AB) = 406 - 400 = 6(BC) = 400 - 399 = 1(CA) = 400 - 394 = 6

The maximum deviation from the average is 6 V. The greatestpercentage deviation is:100 x 6/400 = 1.5 %

This is less than the permissible 2% and is therefore acceptable.

7.1 - Power supply

The power supply must conform to the specification on the unitname plate. The supply voltage must be within the rangespecified in the electrical data table.For connections refer to the wiring diagrams.

WARNING: Operation of the unit with an improper supplyvoltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse whichwill invalidate the Carrier warranty. If the phase imbalanceexceeds 2% for voltage, or 10% for current, contact yourlocal electricity supply source at once and ensure that the unitis not switched on until corrective measures have been taken.

8 - RECOMMENDED WIRE SECTIONS

Wire sizing is the responsibility of the installer, and depends onthe characteristics and regulations applicable to each installationsite. The following is only to be used as a guideline, and doesnot make Carrier in any way liable. After wire sizing has beencompleted, using the certified dimensional drawing, the instal-ler must ensure easy connection and define any modificationsnecessary on site. The connections provided as standard for thefield-supplied power entry cables to the general disconnect/isolator switch are designed for the number and type of wires,listed in the table below.

The calculations are based on the maximum machine current(see electrical data tables) and the standard installation practises,in accordance with IEC 60364, table 52C.

- For 30RH units, installed outside, the following standardinstallation practises have been maintained:

No.17: suspended aerial lines, and No. 61: buriedconduit with a derating coefficient of 20.

The calculation is based on PVC or XLPE insulatedcables with copper core.

A maximum ambient temperature of 46C has beentaken into consideration.

The given wire length limits the voltage drop to < 5%(see table below).

IMPORTANT: Before connection of the main power cables(L1 - L2 - L3) on the terminal block, it is imperative to checkthe correct order of the 3 phases before proceeding to theconnection on the main disconnect/isolator switch.

9 - WATER CONNECTIONS

For size and position of the unit water inlet and outlet connec-tions refer to the certified dimensional drawings supplied withthe unit. The water pipes must not transmit any radial or axialforce to the heat exchangers nor any vibration.

The water supply must be analysed and appropriate filtering,treatment, control devices, shutoff and bleed valves and circuitsbuilt in, to prevent corrosion (example: damage to the protectionof the tube surface if the fluid is polluted), fouling and deter-ioration of the pump fittings.

Before any start-up verify that the heat exchange fluid iscompatible with the materials and the water circuit coating.

In case additives or other fluids than those recommended byCarrier s.a are used, ensure that the fluids are not considered asa gas, and that they belong to class 2, as defined in directive97/23/EC.

Carrier s.a. recommendations on heat exchange fluids:1. No NH4+ ammonium ions in the water, they are very

detrimental for copper. This is one of the most importantfactors for the operating life of copper piping. A contentof several tenths of mg/l will badly corrode the copperover time.

2. Cl- Chloride ions are detrimental for copper with a risk ofperforations by corrosion by puncture. If possible keepbelow 10 mg/l.

3. SO42- sulphate ions can cause perforating corrosion, iftheir content is above 30 mg/l.

4. No fluoride ions (2.8 K. Values between 10 and 25can be recommended. This will facilitate scale deposit thatcan limit corrosion of copper. TH values that are too highcan cause piping blockage over time. A total alkalimetrictitre (TAC) below 100 is desirable.

8. Dissolved oxygen: Any sudden change in water oxygen-ation conditions must be avoided. It is as detrimental todeoxygenate the water by mixing it with inert gas as it isto over-oxygenate it by mixing it with pure oxygen. Thedisturbance of the oxygenation conditions encouragesdestabilisation of copper hydroxides and enlargement ofparticles.

9. Specific resistance electric conductivity: the higher thespecific resistance, the slower the corrosion tendency.Values above 3000 Ohm/cm are desirable. A neutralenvironment favours maximum specific resistance values.For electric conductivity values in the order of 200-6000S/cm can be recommended.

10. pH: Ideal case pH neutral at 20-25C (7 < pH < 8).

ATTENTION: Charging, adding or draining fluid from thewater circuit must be done by qualified personnel, using airvents and materials suitable for the products. The watercircuit charging devices are field-supplied.

Charging and removing heat exchange fluids should be donewith devices that must be included on the water circuit by theinstaller. Never use the unit heat exchangers to add heatexchange fluid.

9.1 - Operating precautions and recommendations

The water circuit should be designed to have the least numberof elbows and horizontal pipe runs at different levels. Belowthe main points to be checked for the connection: Comply with the water inlet and outlet connections shown

on the unit. Install manual or automatic air purge valves at all high

points in the circuit. Use an expansion device to maintain pressure in the

system and install a safety valve as well as an expansiontank.Units with a hydronic module include the safety valve andthe expansion tank.

Install thermometers in both the entering and leavingwater connections.

Install drain connections at all low points to allow thewhole circuit to be drained.

Install stop valves, close to the entering and leaving waterconnections.

Use flexible connections to reduce the transmission ofvibrations.

Insulate all pipework, after testing for leaks, both toreduce thermal leaks and to prevent condensation.

If the external unit water pipes are in an area, where theambient temperature is likely to fall below 0C, insulate thepiping and add an electric heater. The internal unit pipingis protected down to -20C.

NOTE: For units not equipped with a hydronic module ascreen filter must be installed as close to the heat exchangeras possible, in a position that is easily accessible for removaland cleaning. Units with hydronic module are equipped withthis type of filter.

The mesh size of the filter must be 1.2 mm.

The plate heat exchanger can foul up quickly at the initialunit start-up, as it complements the filter function, and theunit operation will be impaired (reduced water flow rate dueto increased pressure drop).

Before the system start-up verify that the water circuits areconnected to the appropriate heat exchangers (e.g. noreversal between evaporator and condenser).

Do not introduce any significant static or dynamic pressureinto the heat exchange circuit (with regard to the designoperating pressures).

The products that may be added for thermal insulation of thecontainers during the water piping connection proceduremust be chemically neutral in relation to the materials andcoatings to which they are applied. This is also the case forthe products originally supplied by Carrier s.a.

19

9.2 - Hydronic connections

The diagram on the next page shows a typical hydronicinstallation.When charging the water circuit use air vents to evacuate anyresidual air pockets.

9.3 - Frost protection

The plate heat exchangers, the piping and the hydronic modulepump can be damaged by frost, despite the built-in anti-freezeprotection of these units.

The frost protection of plate heat exchanger and all hydronicmodule components is guaranteed down to -20C byautomatically energized heaters and pump cycling.

Never switch off the evaporator and hydronic circuit heaters orthe pump, otherwise frost protection cannot be guaranteed.

The main unit disconnect switch (QS101) as well as the auxi-liary protection switch (QF101) for the heaters must always beleft closed (for location of QS and QF 101 see wiring diagram).

To ensure frost protection down to -20C, water circulation inthe water circuit must be maintained by periodically switchingon the pump. If a shut-off valve is installed, a bypass must beincluded as shown below.

IMPORTANT:Depending on the atmospheric conditions in your area youmust do the following when switching the unit off in winter:- Add ethylene glycol with an adequate concentration to pro-

tect the installation up to a temperature of 10 K below thelowest temperature likely to occur at the installation site.

- If the unit is not used for an extended period, it isrecommended to drain it, and as a safety precautionintroduce ethylene glycol in the heat exchanger, usingthe water entering purge valve connection.At the start of the next season, refill the unit with waterand add an inhibitor.

- For the installation of auxiliary equipment, the installermust comply with basic regulations, especially forminimum and maximum flow rates, which must bebetween the values listed in the operating limit table(application data).

- To prevent corrosion by differential aeration, the com-plete drained heat transfer circuit must be charged withnitrogen for a period of one month. If the heat transferfluid does not comply with the Carrier S.A. regulations,the nitrogen charge must be added immediately.

10 - NOMINAL SYSTEM WATER FLOW CONTROL

The water circulation pumps of the 30RH units have been sizedto allow the hydronic modules to cover all possible configura-tions based on the specific installation conditions, i.e. forvarious temperature differences between the entering and theleaving water (T) at full load, which can vary between 3 and10C.

This required difference between the entering and leaving watertemperature determines the nominal system flow rate. It isabove all absolutely necessary to know the nominal system flowrate to allow its control via a manual valve provided in the waterleaving piping of the module (item 9 in the typical hydroniccircuit diagram).

With the pressure loss generated by the control valve in thehydronic system, the valve is able to impose the system pressure/flow curve on the pump pressure/flow curve, to obtain thedesired operating point (see example for 30RH 100). The pres-sure drop reading in the plate heat exchanger is used to controland adjust the nominal system flow rate. The pressure drop ismeasured with the pressure gauge connected to the heatexchanger water inlet and outlet.

Use this specification for the unit selection to know the systemoperating conditions and to deduce the nominal air flow as wellas the plate heat exchanger pressure drop at the specified con-ditions. If this information is not available at the system start-up, contact the technical service department responsible for theinstallation to get it.

These characteristics can be obtained from the technicalliterature using the unit performance tables for a T of 5 K atthe evaporator or with the Electronic Catalogue selectionprogram for all T conditions other than 5 K in the range of 3to 10 K.

10.1 - Water flow control procedure

As the total system pressure drop is not known exactly at thestart-up, the water flow rate must be adjusted with the controlvalve provided to obtain the specific flow rate for this applica-tion.

Proceed as follows:Open the valve fully (approximately 9 turns counter-clockwise).

Start-up the pump using the forced start command (refer to thecontrols manual) and let the pump run for two consecutivehours to clean the hydronic circuit of the system (presence ofsolid contaminants).

Read the plate heat exchanger pressure drop by taking thedifference of the readings of the pressure gauge connected tothe plate heat exchanger inlet and outlet, using valves (seediagrams below), and comparing this value after two hours ofoperation.

If the pressure drop has increased, this indicates that the screenfilter must be removed and cleaned, as the hydronic circuitcontains solid particles. In this case close the shutoff valves atthe water inlet and outlet and remove the screen filter afteremptying the hydronic section of the unit.

Renew, if necessary, to ensure that the filter is not contami-nated. Purge the air from the circuit (see 'Air vent' diagram).

When the circuit is cleaned, read the pressures at thepressure gauge (entering water pressure - leaving waterpressure), expressed in bar and convert this value to kPa(multiply by 100) to find out the plate heat exchangerpressure drop.

Compare the value obtained with the theoretical selection value.If the pressure drop measured is higher than the value specifiedthis means that the flow rate in the plate heat exchanger (andthus in the system) is too high. The pump supplies an excessiveflow rate based on the global pressure drop of the application.In this case close the control valve one turn and read the newpressure difference.

Proceed by successively closing the control valve until youobtain the specific pressure drop that corresponds to the nominalflow rate at the required unit operating point.- If the system has an excessive pressure drop in relation to

the available static pressure provided by the pump, theresulting water flow rate will de reduced and thedifference between entering and leaving watertemperature of the hydronic module will be increased.

To reduce the pressure drops of the hydronic system, it isnecessary:- to reduce the individual pressure drops as much as

possible (bends, level changes, accessories, etc.)- to use a correctly sized piping diameter.- to avoid hydronic system extensions, wherever possible.

11 - START-UP

11.1 - Preliminary checks

- Never be tempted to start the unit without reading fully,and understanding, the operating instructions and withouthaving carried out the following pre-start checks:

- Check the water circulation pumps, air handling units andall other equipment connected to the heat exchanger.

- Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.- For units without hydronic module, the water pump

overheat protection device must be connected in serieswith the pump contactor power supply. If the pump is notsupplied with the unit (unit without hydronic module),verify that the power input of the field-installed pumpdoes not exceed the rating of the standard pump contactor,supplied in the control box (max. 3 kW for 30RH 040-160,and 5.5 kW for 30RH 200-240 units).

- Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the unit.- Ensure that there are no refrigerant leaks.- Confirm that all pipe securing bands are tight.- Confirm the the electrical connections are secure.

11.2 - Actual start-up

IMPORTANT Commissioning and start-up of the unit must be

supervised by a qualified refrigeration engineer. Start-up and operating tests must be carried out with a

thermal load applied and water circulating in the heatexchanger.

All set-point adjustments and control tests must becarried out before the unit is started up.

Please refer to the 30RA/RY - RH/RYH A series Pro-Dialog Plus Control manual.

The unit should be started up in Local heating L-H mode.Ensure that all safety devices are satisfied, especially the highpressure switches with manual reset.

11.3 - Operation of two units in master/slave mode

The control of a master/slave assembly is in the entering waterand does not require any additional sensors (standard confi-guration). For unit sizes 090 to 240 the control can also belocated in the leaving water. In this case two additional sensorsmust be added on the common piping.

All parameters, required for the master/slave function must beconfigured using the Service Configuration menu. All remotecontrols of the master/slave assembly (start/stop, set point, loadshedding etc.) are controlled by the unit configured as masterand must only be applied to the master unit.

IMPORTANT: The two units must be equipped with optionNo. 155 - CCN time scheduling and communications ClockBoard.

Depending on the installation and control type, each unit cancontrol its own water pump. If there is only one common pumpfor the two units, the master unit can control this. In this caseshut-off valves must be installed on each unit. They will beactivated at the opening and closing by the control of each unit(and the valves will be controlled using the dedicated waterpump outputs).

11.4 - Supplementary electric resistance heaters

To permit staging of the capacity reduction of the heat pump atlow ambient temperatures, as shown in the diagram below, it ispossible to install supplementary electric heaters in the leavingwater line. Their capacity can compensate for the capacity dropof the heat pump.

These heaters can be controlled via an electronic card mountedon a board (accessory).

Four outputs are available to control the heater contactors (notsupplied with the board), permitting gradual compensation ofthe heat pump capacity reduction.

These outputs are configurable to obtain a choice of two, threeor four stages. The last stage will only be activated after a shut-down of the heat pump following a fault condition (safetydevice).

In the diagram below example of additional electric heatersthe capacity of the four heaters is the same as the capacity ofthe heat pump at 7C outdoor air temperature.

This requires only a 400 V-3 ph-50 Hz power supply source, aswell as a connection to the unit via a communication bus.

For the required configuration of the stages consult the Pro-Dialog Control manual for the 30RA/RY - 30RH/RYH "A" series.

12 - MAINTENANCE

Any technician attending the machine for any purpose must befully qualified to work on refrigerant and electrical circuits.

All refrigerant charging, removal and draining operationsmust be carried out by a qualified technician and with thecorrect material for the unit. Any inappropriate handling canlead to uncontrolled fluid or pressure leaks.

WARNING: Before doing any work on the machine ensurethat the power is switched off. If a refrigerant circuit is opened,it must be evacuated, recharged and tested for leaks. Beforeany operation on a refrigerant circuit, it is necessary toremove the complete refrigerant charge from the unit with arefrigerant charge recovery group.

12.1 - Maintenance of the refrigerant circuit

12.1.1 - General maintenance Keep the unit itself and the space around it clean and free

of obstructions. Remove all rubbish such as packingmaterials, as soon as the installation is completed.

Regularly clean the exposed pipework to remove all dustand dirt. This makes detection of water leaks easier, andthey can be repaired before more serious faults develop.

Confirm that all screwed and bolted connections andjoints are secure. Secure connections prevent leaks andvibration from developing.

Check that all insulation joints are securely closed andthat all insulation is firmly in place. Check all heatexchangers and all pipework.

12.1.2 - Refrigerant charge volume30RH units can operate in cooling or heating mode.

The cooling mode determines the refrigerant charge for the30RH units (see Physical Data table). The required refrigerantcharge to ensure a liquid seal and obtaining the required sub-cooling is most important in the cooling mode.

In the heating mode the water heat exchanger has a low volumeon the refrigerant side and can therefore not obtain the necessarysubcooling by itself. The water heat exchanger is only used toobtain desuperheat and condensing of the refrigerant.

Subcooling is realised in a liquid-vapour heat exchanger,external to the water heat exchanger. This receiver/heat exchangerhas the dual function of storing the excess charge in the heatingmode and of subcooling the refrigerant. The excess charge tobe stored in the heating mode is approximately the same as halfthe total charge for the cooling mode.

The patented design of this receiver/heat exchanger is opti-mised to achieve these two functions. Three different receiversizes are available for the units, depending on the circuit volume.In these receivers the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is sub-cooled by the suction gas which is thus superheated.

The superheating of the suction gas in the receiver also permitsoptimising the air heat exchanger performance (superheat zeroat the evaporator outlet). It is imperative to operate the unit inthe cooling mode to be able to check if the unit charge iscorrect by verifying the actual subcooling (see diagram).

This diagram shows the effect of a refrigerant loss in thecooling mode from the original unit charge to 25% leakage,and the effect on the saturated suction and discharge tempe-ratures and the superheat and actual subcooling of the fluid.

The diagram corresponds to the conditions described in theparagraph Verification of the charge.

Following a leak, a refrigerant charge loss of 5% and 10%,compared to the initial charge will be noticeable in the coolingmode and affect the subcooling value, obtained at the air heatexchanger (condenser) outlet.- with -5% charge -2 K are obtained compared with the

original subcooling of 6 K- with -10% charge -4 K are obtained compared with the

original subcooling of 6 K.The variation of the following parameters should be consideredfollowing a loss of charge:- Noticeable increase of the superheat with a simultaneous

reduction of the saturated suction and dischargetemperatures.

- The same leakage level does not affect the operation inthe heating mode because of the excess refrigerant chargein this mode.

IMPORTANT: It is not possible to optimise the charge in theheating mode, following a leak. It is imperative to operate theunit in the cooling mode in order to check, if topping up ofthe charge is necessary.

12.1.5 - PrinciplesRefrigeration installations must be inspected and maintainedregularly and rigorously by specialists. Their activities must beoverseen and checked by properly trained people. To minimisedischarge to the atmosphere, refrigerants and lubricating oilmust be transferred using methods which reduce leaks andlosses to a minimum and with materials that are suitable for theproducts. Leaks must be repaired immediately All units are equipped with connections on the suction

and liquid line, which permit the connection of refrigerantrecovery valves.

If the residual pressure is too low to make the transferalone, a purpose-built refrigerant recovery unit must beused.

Compressor lubricating oil contains refrigerant. Any oildrained from a system during maintenance must thereforebe handled and stored accordingly.

Refrigerant under pressure must never be discharged tothe atmosphere.

If the refrigerant circuit is opened, plug all openings if theoperation takes up to one day, or charge the circuit withnitrogen for longer operations.

12.1.3 - Verification of the charge

CAUTION: The 30RH units are supplied with a preciserefrigerant charge (see Physical Data table).

To verify the correct system charge prodeed as follows:Set unit to cooling mode.Ensure that no bubbles appear in the sight-glass, when operat-ing the unit at full load for a while, at a saturated condensingtemperature of between 55 and 57C. If necessary cover a sec-tion of the coil surface to obtain this condensing temperature.Under these conditions the apparent subcooling which is equalto the saturated condensing temperature (1 - on the saturateddew point curve) minus the liquid refrigerant temperature (3)ahead of the expansion device must be between 12 and 14C.This corresponds to an actual subcooling temperature ofbetween 5 and 7 K at the condenser outlet, depending on theunit type. Actual subcooling is equal the saturated liquidtemperature (2 - on the saturated bubble point curve) minus theliquid refrigerant temperature (3) ahead of the expansiondevice. Use the pressure tap supplied on the liquid piping tocharge refrigerant and to find out the pressure of the liquidrefrigerant. If the subcooling value is not correct, i.e. lowerthan the specified values, a leak detection test must be carriedout on the unit, as it no longer contains its original charge.

In order to measure the liquid refrigerant pressure and tem-perature ahead of the expansion device, an access port must beopened on the expansion device which causes a slight air bypasson the condenser. Wait until unit operation has stabilized beforecarrying out pressure and temperature measurements.

WARNING: To ensure proper operation of 30RH units theremust be at least 12 K of subcooling as the liquid refrigerantenters the expansion valve.

The 30RH units use refrigerant. For your information, we arereproducing here some extracts from the official publicationdealing with the design, installation, operation andmaintenance of air conditioning and refrigeration systemsand the training of people involved in these activities, agreedby the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

12.1.6 - Recharging liquid refrigerant

CAUTION: 30RH units are charged with liquid HFC-407Crefrigerant.

This non-azeotropic refrigerant blend consists of 23% R-32,25% of R-125 and 52% R-134a, and is characterised by thefact that at the time of the change in state the temperature ofthe liquid/vapour mixture is not constant, as with azeotropicrefrigerants. All checks must be pressure tests, and theappropriate pressure/temperature ratio table must be used todetermine the corresponding saturated temperatures(saturated bubble point curve or saturated dew point curve).

Leak detection is especially important for units charged withrefrigerant R-407C. Depending on whether the leak occurs inthe liquid or in the vapour phase, the proportion of thedifferent components in the remaining liquid is not the same.

NOTE: Regularly carry out leak checks and immediatelyrepair any leak found. If there is a leak in the plate heatexchanger, this part must be replaced.

12.1.7 - UnderchargeIf there is not enough refrigerant in the system, this is indicatedby gas bubbles in the moisture sight glass in the cooling mode.

If the undercharge is significant, large bubbles appear in themoisture sight glass, and the suction pressure drops. Thecompressor suction superheat is also high. The machine mustbe recharged after the leak has been repaired.

Find the leak and completely drain the system with a refrigerantrecovery unit. Carry out the repair, leak test and then rechargethe system.

IMPORTANT: After the leak has been repaired, the circuitmust be tested, without exceeding the maximum low-sideoperating pressure shown on the unit name plate.

The refrigerant must always be recharged in the liquid phaseinto the liquid line.The refrigerant cylinder must always contain at least 10% of itsinitial charge.For the refrigerant quantity per circuit, refer to the data on theunit name plate.

12.1.8 - Characteristics of R407CSee the table below.Saturated bubble point temperatures (bubble point curve)Saturated dew point temperatures (dew point curve)

12.2 - Electrical maintenance

When working on the unit comply with all safety precautionsdecribed in section Maintenance safety considerations.- It is strongly recommended to change the fuses in the

units every 15000 operating hours or every 3 years.- It is recommended to verify that all electrical connections

are tight:a. after the unit has been received at the moment of

installation and before the first start-up,b. one month after the first start-up,when the electrical

components have reached their nominal operatingtemperatures,

c. then regularly once a year.

29

12.3 - Condenser coilWe recommend, that finned coils are inspected regularly tocheck the degree of fouling. This depends on the environmentwhere the unit is installed, and will be worse in urban andindustrial installations and near trees that shed their leaves.

For coil cleaning proceed as follows: Remove fibres and dust collected on the condenser face

with a soft brush (or vacuum cleaner). Clean the coil with the appropriate cleaning agents.

We recommend TOTALINE products for coil cleaning:Part No. P902 DT 05EE: traditional cleaning methodPart No. P902 CL 05EE: cleaning and degreasing.

These products have a neutral pH value, do not contain phos-phates, are not harmful to the human body, and can be disposedof through the public drainage system.

Depending on the degree of fouling both products can be useddiluted or undiluted.

For normal maintenance routines we recommend using 1 kg ofthe concentrated product, diluted to 10%, to treat a coil surfaceof 2 m2. This process can either be carried out with a TOTALINEapplicator gun (part No. TE01 WA 4000EE) or using a high-pressure spray gun in the low-pressure position. With pressur-ised cleaning methods care should be taken not to damage thecoil fins. The spraying of the coil must be done:- in the direction of the fins- in the opposite direction of the air flow direction- with a large diffuser (25-30)- at a distance of 300 mm.

The two cleaning products can be used for any of the followingcoil finishes: Cu/Cu, Cu/Al, Cu/Al with Polual, Blygold and/orHeresite protection.

It is not necessary to rinse the coil, as the products used are pHneutral. To ensure that the coil is perfectly clean, we recommendrinsing with a low water flow rate. The pH value of the waterused should be between 7 and 8.

WARNING: Never use pressurized water without a largediffusor. Concentrated and/or rotating water jets are strictlyforbidden.

Correct and frequent cleaning (approximately every threemonths) will prevent 2/3 of the corrosion problems.

Never use a fluid with a temperature above 45C to clean theair heat exchangers.

13 - AQUASNAP MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

All maintenance operations must be carried out by technicianswho have been trained on Carrier products, observing allCarrier quality and safety standards.

Maintenance instructionsDuring the unit operating life the service checks and tests mustbe carried out in accordance with applicable national regulations.

If there are no similar criteria in local regulations, theinformation on checks during operation in annex C of standardEN 378-2 can be used.

External visual checks: annex A and B of standard EN 378-2

Corrosion checks: annex D of standard EN 378-2. Thesecontrols must be carried out:- After an intervention that is likely to affect the resistance

or a change in use or change of high-pressure refrigerant,or after a shut down of more than two years. Componentsthat do not comply, must be changed. Test pressuresabove the respective component design pressure must notbe applied (annex B and D).

- After repair or significant modifications or significantsystem or component extension (annex B)

- After re-installation at another site (annexes A, B and D)- After repair following a refrigerant leak (annex D). The

frequency of refrigerant leak detection can vary from onceper year for systems with less than 1% leak rate per yearto once a day for systems with a leak rate of 35% per yearor more. The frequency is in proportion with the leak rate.

NOTE: High leak rates are not acceptable. The necessarysteps must be taken to eliminate any leak detected.

NOTE 2: Fixed refrigerant detectors are not leak detectors,as they cannot locate the leak.

13.1 - Maintenance schedule

Regular maintenance is indispensable to optimise the operatinglife and reliability of the equipment. Maintenance operationsmust be carried out in accordance with the schedules below:
