It may happen that, after receipt, the units are not to be immediately installed and
are kept in storage. In case of medium-long term storage, we recommend applying
the following procedures:
• Make sure there is no water inside the hydraulic systems.
• Do not remove the protections from the heat exchanger.
• Do not remove the plastic protective lms.
• Make sure that the electrical panels are closed.
• Before using the equipment, store all items provided in a dry and clean place so
that they can be used in the future. We recommend storing the unit in a dry and
sheltered place (especially for units intended for indoors).
NOTE The maximum storage temperature of the units depends on the type of
refrigerant contained, see table. Beyond this limit, there is a risk of refrigerant
leaking through the safety valves.
For unit installation it is important to perform the following preliminary preparation
tasks:
• When installing, make sure that the atmospheric or environmental agents do not
aect and corrode the cooling circuit components, causing the refrigerant to leak
in the environment and, if so, make the appropriate adjustments.
• The air-cooled units with fans are designed for outdoor installation. Contact Aer-
mec before making any type of installation.
• The water-cooled units are designed for indoor installation. Contact Aermec befo-
re making any type of installation.
• For the positioning of the air-cooled units for outdoor use, choose a place that is
not exposed to excessive wind (install windbreaks if the wind speed exceeds 2.2
m/s).
• The soil under the unit must be at, smooth and suciently strong to withstand
the weight of the unit with a full refrigerant load, as well as the occasional presence
of the normal maintenance equipment.
• In locations exposed to frost, if the unit is installed on soil, the support base must
rest on concrete columns with a depth greater than the normal depth of frost of
the soil. It is always advisable to build a support base separate from the main buil-
ding to avoid the transmission of vibrations.
• For normal applications, the rigidity of the unit and the positioning of point loads
allow for an installation that minimises vibrations. In the case of installations re-
quiring particularly low vibration levels, you can use the anti-vibration supports.
ATTENTION: The use of anti-vibration supports MUST be combined with the installa-
tion in the unit water piping of exible couplings. The anti-vibration supports must
be xed to the unit BEFORE it is earthed. AERMEC is not responsible for the choice of
capacity of the anti-vibration supports.
• The unit must be xed to the anti-vibration supports and these rmly xed to the
concrete base, see chapter weight distribution and minimum technical spaces
• Check that the contact surfaces of the anti-vibration supports are levelled to the
base. If necessary, use spacers or level the base but, in any case, make sure that the
anti-vibration supports rest at on the base surface.
• It is essential that the units are installed leaving sucient space around them to
allow easy access to the components for maintenance and repair purposes.
ATTENTION: It is important that the units are installed at. The improper installa-
tion of the unit invalidates the warranty.
