1 Introduction
CUBO
2
Smart is an high efficiency condensing unit (for CO2 transcritical application) equipped with BLDC
variable speed compressor. It is compact, easy to install and can directly communicate with the
refrigerated units.
Thanks to these features it is a very efficient (even at partial load) without any compromise with the food
conservation.

2 Safety issues with CO
2
- Safe handling
When the R744 (CO2) is being handled, a qualified person must be present with the suitable equipment.
CO2 has no smell or colour and the operator would not be aware if there were any leaks.
The effects of increased CO2 levels on adults at good health can be summarized:
2.1 Precaution
Dedicated pressure relief valves are necessary in all those sections of the system which can be
isolated by shut valves. Due to the high thermal coefficient of expansion of liquid CO2, fluid
pipes must not be blocked.
All SCM units are protected against overpressure with pressure relief valves when required
according to EN378 and PED.
Given the high pressure that system can reach during operation, special attention must be paid
to connect and regulate the unit.
Before carrying out any repairs which involve breaking into the system/soldering or welding,
all relevant parts must be emptied of CO2.
Do not use other than the designated refrigerant (for charging, adding or recharging)
Refrigerant gas leak may cause suffocation.
Piping, equipment components and tools should be appropriate for use with R744 (CO2
refrigerant).
