5.5. COOLING CIRCUIT
Compressors
Highly efficient hermetic scroll compressors on
anti-vibration mounts, activated by a 2-pole electric
motor with internal circuit breaker protection, sup-
plied as per standard with sump resistance.
The resistance is powered automatically when the
unit stops as long as the unit is live.
Air-side heat exchanger
High efficiency realised with copper pipes and alu-
minium louvers blocked by mechanical expansion
of the pipes.
Water-side heat exchanger
Plate type (aisi 316), insulated externally with
closed cell material to reduce heat loss. Equipped
as per standard with the anti-freeze electric re-
sistance.
Liquid separator
(for heat pump only)
Positioned on compressor intake for protection
against any return of refrigerant fluid, flooded
start-up and functioning in the presence of liq-
uids.
Liquid storage tank
(for heat pumps and total recovery only)
Compensates the difference in volume between
louvers coil and plate exchanger, withholding ex-
cess liquid.
Dehydrator filter
Mechanical dehydrator filter realised in ceramics
and hygroscopic material, able to withhold impu-
rities and any traces of humidity present in the
cooling circuit.
Liquid indicator
Used to check the refrigerant gas load and any
presence of humidity in the cooling circuit.
Thermostatic valve
The mechanical valve, with external equaliser po-
sitioned at evaporator outlet, modulates the flow
of gas to the evaporator, depending on the heat
load, in order to ensure a correct level of heating
of the intake gas.
Electronic valve (optional)
Liquid and pressing line cocks
(cooling versions only)
Allows interruption of the refrigerant in the case
of extraordinary maintenance.
Solenoid valve
The valve closes when the compressor switches
off, blocking the flow of refrigerant gas to the
evaporator.
By-pass solenoid valve
(heat pump only)
By-passes the thermostatic valve during the de-
frosting cycle.
Cycle reversing valve (heat pump only)
It reverses the flow of refrigerant on variation of
summer/winter mode and during de-frosting cycles.
One-way valve
Allows one-way flow of the refrigerant.
Desuperheater (on request only)
Plate type (AISI 316), insulated externally with
closed cell material to reduce heat loss.
Total recovery (on request only)
Plate type (AISI 316), insulated externally with
closed cell material to reduce heat loss.
5.6. FRAME AND FANS
Ventilation Unit
Helical type, balanced statically and dynamically.
The electric fans are protected electrically by
magnet circuit breakers and mechanically by
metal anti-intrusion grids, according to the IEC
EN 60335-2-40 Standard.
Larger fans (M)
Support frame
Made in hot galvanised sheet steel with suitable
thickness and painted with polyester powders
able to resist atmospheric agents through time.
5.7. HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
Circulation pump
Depending on the features of the pump selected,
it offers a static pressure that is useful for beat-
ing system pressure drops. The possibility of a
reserve pump is also envisioned.
The reserve pump is managed by the circuit
board.
Flow switch (installed as per standard)
It checks that there is circulation of water. If
this is not the case, it blocks the unit
Water filter (installed as per standard)
This allows to block and eliminate any impurities
present in the hydraulic circuits. It contains a fil-
tering mesh with holes that do not exceed one
millimetre. It is indispensable in order to prevent
serious damage to the plate exchanger.
Storage tank
In sheet steel with capacity of 300 litres. In order
to reduce heat loss and eliminate the condensate
formation phenomenon, it is insulated using poly-
urethane material with a suitable thickness.
As per standard it has a 300W anti-freeze elec-
tric resistance (to -20°C external temperature-
tank water temperature 5°C) controlled by the
board using an anti-freeze probe inserted into
the tank.
Vent valve (all versions)
Automatic, mounted on the upper part of the
hydraulic plant; it discharges any air pockets
present in the same.
Filling unit
(versions with storage tank)
It is equipped with a manometer for the display of
system pressure.
Expansion vessel
(versions with storage tank)
with nitrogen pre-load membrane.
Hydraulic circuit safety valve
(only in versions with storage tank or with pump)
Calibrated at 6 Bar and with piped discharge,
which intervenes by discharging overpressure if
abnormal work pressures occur.
5.8. CONTROL AND SAFETY
COMPONENTS
Low pressure pressure switch (LP)
- Cooling only (L)
With fixed calibration, placed on low pressure
side of cooling circuit, it inhibits functioning of
compressor if abnormal work pressure occurs.
High pressure pressure switch (AP)
- Cooling only (L)
- Heat pump (HL)
With fixed calibration, placed on high pressure
side of cooling circuit, it inhibits functioning of
compressor if abnormal work pressure occurs.
Low pressure transducers (TP2)
- Cooling only (L) "accessory"
- Heat pump (HL) "as per standard"
Placed on high pressure side of cooling circuit,
it signals the work pressure to control board,
generating a pre-warning if abnormal pressure
occurs.
High pressure transducer (TP3)
- Cooling only (L) "accessory"
- Heat pump (HL) "as per standard"
Placed on high pressure side of cooling cir-
cuit, it signals the work pressure to control
board, generating a pre-warning if abnor-
mal pressure occurs.
Anti-freeze electric resistance
(installed as per standard)
Its functioning is controlled by the anti-freeze
probe positioned in the plate evaporator. Ac-
tivation takes place when the temperature
of the water is +3°C, while it is disconnected
with water temperature of +5°C. The dedi-
cated software, housed in the adjustment
board, manages the electric resistance.
Cooling circuit safety valve
Intervenes by discharging the overpressure
in the case of abnormal pressures.
- Calibrated at 45 bar on the HP branch
- Calibrated at 30 bar on the LP branch
(only for heat pump)
