ENGLISH 58 / 78 CAP. 11 - REFRIGERANT FLUID CIRCUIT
11.3 RECEIVING TANK
The tank is the component which determines the category of the entire equipment according to
the PED directive.
The PED “Pressure Equipment Directive” 97/23/EC defines and regulates all those parts that are
subject to pressure, with a specific ratio between their pressure and volume.
Safety against the risk due to pressure of the refrigerant fluid inside the receiving tank is ensured
by the safety valve installed during manufacturing. In case of replacement, use of new and
original spare parts not contaminated with other substances is recommended as well as
requesting the relative declaration of conformity proving the effective test of the components in
the beginning.
The assistance centre assumes responsibility for workmanlike assembly and for checking before
new commissioning according to the prescriptions provided for by the regulations in force in the
country of use; in particular, the assistance centre will have to guarantee that the assembly will
ensure perfect tightness and that safety components are installed appropriately so as to ensure
operation is not jeopardized.
VESSEL 20l
Category III (Dir. 97/23/EC)
SAFETY VALVE 20 bar R 1/4 GAS
Category IV (Dir. 97/23/EC)
Notes regarding operator safety:
Attention: presence of dangerous 230 VAC voltage near the tank, disconnect the equipment
from the mains before each maintenance intervention.
Attention: presence of refrigerant fluid under pressure, in case of disassembly of the tank or
of its components, make sure the tank is empty and closed, the connecting pipe between tank
and manifold is empty and the connecting pipe between tank and pneumatic group is empty.
Emptying with the aid of a second CLIMA line equipment is recommended. Do not disperse
gas into the environment.
