8. REGULAR INSPECTIONS AND TESTS
The safety notices contained in Chapter 1 must be complied with !
During the lifetime of the process cooler, inspection and tests (not included in the scope of the
warranty) must be carried out in accordance with national regulations !
If there are no relevant local regulations with respect to periodic testing, regular device-specific
tests should be performed based on EN 378-2.
Scope of tests
Monitoring and testing must be carried out by competent personnel (in accordance with
EN13313) or a specialist enterprise in compliance with environmental requirements with
respect to the reuse and disposal of fuels/oils and component parts.
Definition of Test Designations
M1
Inspections/checks must be carried out following any intervention in the refrigeration
circuit due to required repair or service activities (replacement of components,
elimination of leaks, replacement of filter-drier cartridges).
M2
Inspections/checks must be carried out prior to recommissioning a process cooler
following a shutdown period of more than 2 years.
M3
Inspections/checks must be carried out whenever - after the initial startup of the process
cooler at the end customer’s site - the unit is moved to a new location.
Due to special transport safety measures, the relocation of the process cooler from the
manufacturer’s plant to the end customer does not result in any increased failure rate
and therefore requires no re-inspection to be carried out.
M4
This test must be carried out every year.
1)
The refrigerant leak check must be performed in
accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 842/2006:
