5.3 Freeze protection
Even if the minimum operating temperature is higher than 0°C, during shutdown periods in the cold season the unit may be
subject to temperatures that are lower than 0°C.
In such cases if the water is not drained out of the unit ethylene or propylene glycol antifreeze should be added to the water
in the following percentages:
In accordance with the chilled water outlet temperature, to avoid the formation of ice ethylene or propylene glycol antifreeze
should be added to the water in the following percentages:
The water flow rate must correspond to the value stated in the technical specifications or in the selection software.
The conditions specified in the table do not guarantee anti-freeze protection with the machine operating in bypass mode
between water delivery and return, and with the machine water inlet and outlet fittings shut off.
The anti-freeze setting is 4°C. To reduce the anti-freeze setting edit parameter AL26.
5.3.1 Operating limits
The operating limits are decided at the time of sale. Refer to the data specified in the contract.
For water outlet temperatures <= +5°C we recommend the use of anti-freeze solutions (compatible with the contact
materials);
(1) value referred to the unit chosen with the configurator option “-20°C ambient”. The unit is thus equipped with electronic
fans control and electrical cabinet heater.
If glycol is not used in the circuit it is advisable to equip the unit with anti-freeze heaters;
(2) reference value for the range with outlet water temperature of 15°C.
