7.1 Refrigerant circuit
▶ Visually inspect the refrigerant circuit: the presence of oil stains can
be a symptom of leakage (caused e.g. by transportation, handling or
other);
▶ Check if the refrigerant circuit is under pressure. Please use the unit
manometers, if present, or service manometers;
▶ Make sure that all the service outlets are closed with proper caps; if
caps are not present a leak of the refrigerant can be possible;
▶ Open all of the refrigeration circuit shut-off valves (if applicable).
7.2 Hydraulic circuit
▶ Before connecting the unit to the hydraulic system, make sure that
the hydraulic system has been washed and that the water has been
drained;
▶ Check that the hydraulic circuit has been filled and pressurized;
▶ Check that the shut-off valves in the circuit are in the “OPEN”
position;
▶ Check that there is no air inside the circuit, and bleed it through the
vent valves in the high points of the system if necessary;
▶ When using antifreeze solutions, make sure the glycol percentage is
suitable for the type of use envisaged.
Neglecting the washing phase will lead to several filter cleaning
interventions; at worst it can cause damage to the exchangers and other
parts.
7.3 Electric circuit
▶ Check if the unit is connected to the earthing system;
▶ Check if the conductors are tightened as the vibrations caused by
handling and transport might cause these to come loose;
▶ Power the unit by closing the external isolation device but leave the
main switch OFF;
▶ Check the values for network frequency (+/-6%) and voltage (which
must be within the limits: 380-415V 3N~ 50Hz);
▶ Check and adjust the phase balance as necessary: it must be lower
than 2%. Example:
– 400 - 6% = 376
– 400 + 6% = 424
Working outside of these limits can cause irreversible damages and voids
the warranty.
Compressor crankcase resistances
Connect the compressor oil heating resistances, at least, 8 hours before
starting the compressor:
• at the first unit start-up;
• after each prolonged period of inactivity.
▶ Power the heaters: isolator switch on 1 / ON.;
▶ Check the power consumption of the resistances to make sure that
they are functioning;
▶ Start-up the compressor only if the crankcase temperature, on the
lower side, is higher than the outside temperature by at least 10°C;
▶ Do not start the compressor with the crankcase oil below operating
temperature.
