Installation notes
1 Warning
Installation and maintenance of the unit must to be performed only by qualified personnel who have knowledge with local
9
codes and regulations, and experience with this type of equipment. The unit must be installed to allow all the maintenance
operations.
Handling
Care should be taken to avoid rough handling or shock due to dropping of the unit. Do not push or pull the unit from anything
other than the base frame. Never allow the unit to fall during unloading or moving as this may result in serious damage. To lift
the unit, rings are provided in the base frame of the unit. Spreader bar and cables should be arranged to prevent damage to
the condenser coil or unit cabinet.
Location
The units are produced for outside installation on roofs, floors or below ground level on condition that the area is free from
obstacles for the passage of the condenser air. The unit should be positioned on solid foundations and perfectly level; in the
case of installation on roofs or floors, it may be advisable to arrange the use of suitable weight distribution beams. When the
units are installed on the ground, a concrete base at least 250 mm wider and longer than the unit’s footprint should be laid.
Furthermore, this base should withstand the unit weight mentioned in the technical data table.
Space requirements
The units are air-cooled, then it is important to respect the minimum distances which guarantee the best ventilation of the
condenser coils. Limitations of space reducing the air flow could cause significant reductions in cooling capacity and an
increase in electricity consumption.
To determinate unit placement, careful consideration must be given to assure a sufficient air flow across the condenser heat
transfer surface. Two conditions must be avoided to achieve the best performance: warm air recirculation and coil starvation.
Both these conditions cause an increase of condensing pressures that result in reductions in unit efficiency and capacity.
Moreover the unique microprocessor has the ability to analyse the operating environment of the air cooled chiller and to
optimize its performance to stay on-line during abnormal conditions.
Each side of the unit must be accessible after installation for periodic service. Fig.1 shows you minimum recommended
clearance requirements.
Vertical condenser air discharge must be unobstructed because the unit would have its capacity and efficiency significantly
reduced.
If the units are positioned in places surrounded by walls or obstacles of the same height as the units, the units should be at
least 2500 mm from obstacles (Fig.2). In the event the obstacles are higher than the units, the units should be at least 3000
mm from the obstacle (Fig.3). Units installed closer than the minimum recommended distance to a wall or other vertical
riser may experience a combination of coil starvation and warm air recirculation, thus causing reduction in unit capacity
and efficiency reductions. The microprocessor control is proactive in response “of design condition”. In the case of single or
compounded influences restricting airflow to the unit, the microprocessor will act to keep the compressor running (at reduced
capacity) rather than allowing a shut-off on high discharge pressure.
When two or more units are positioned side by side it is recommended that the condenser coils are at least 3600 mm distance
from one another (Fig.4); strong wind could be the cause of air warm recirculation.

Acoustic protection
When noise level must meet special requirements, it is necessary to pay the maximum attention to ensure the perfect
insulation of the unit from the support base by applying appropriate vibration-dampening devices on the unit, on the water
pipes and on the electrical connections.
Storage
The environment conditions have to be in the following limits:
Minimum ambient temperature: -20°C

Maximum ambient temperature: +57°C
Maximum R.H.: 95% not condensing
