5TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The i-HWAK V4 water chillers and heat pumps series are designed for applications in residential and commercial areas, These units
are extremely versatile and can operate in heat pump mode with the ability of producing hot water at a temperature of 58°C for
environmental heating and sanitary applications. The INVERTER compressor with brushless DC motor technology, matched with
electronic expansion valve, pump and variable speed blower are generally used for optimizing the power consumption and
efficient operation of the refrigerating components.
5.1 FRAME
All the unist of i-HWAK V4 series are made up of hot-galvanised thick sheet metal, painted with polyurethane powder enamels at
180°C to ensure the best resistance against atmospheric agents. The frame is self-supporting with removable panels. All screws
and rivets for outdoor installations are in galvanized steel.
5.2 REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
The refrigerant gas used in these units is R410A. The refrigerant circuit has been manufactured by means of international primary
brands components and according to the UNI EN 13134 Rule concerning welding procedures. The refrigerant circuit includes: 4
way reverse cycle valve, electronic expansion valve, liquid separator, liquid receiver, valves for maintenance and control, pressure
safety device, pressure transducers to accurately adjust the evaporating and condensing pressures, filters for throttling valve to
avoid its clogging.
5.3 COMPRESSORS
The installed DC inverter compressors are rotary hermetic twin rotary type designed to be used with R410 refrigerant.
The compressors are mounted in a separate chamber, isolated from the air stream in order to reduce the noise, and are equipped
with crankcase heater, In order to avoid the oil dilution which may cause seizure of the compressor. The crankcase heater
operates when the compressor remains off for at least 30 minutes and if the discharge temperature is below 20°C (with hysteresis
of 2.0°C). When the compressor restarts, the crankcase heater will stop operation. The crankcase heater works even if the unit is
in shut off mode, which will protect the compressor from restartup failure.
We recommend you to turn ON the unit and to put it in standby mode at least for 6 hours before starting the operation, especially
if the system has been completely turned off for a period of time.
The checking of the compressors is possible through removing the frontal and lateral panels of the unit allowing easy maintenance
of the compressors even when the unit is operation.
5.4 AIR SIDE EXCHANGERS
The air side exchangers are made up of copper pipes and aluminium fins. The diameter of the copper pipes is 9.52mm for the
model 09 and 5/16”for the other models 12 and 15, the thickness of the aluminium fins is 0,1mm. The tubes are mechanically
expanded into the aluminium fins to improve the heat exchange factor. The geometry of these condensers guarantee a low air
side pressure drop and, then, the use of low rotation (and low noise emission) fans.
5.5 FANS
The fans are axial type with aluminium aerofoil blades. They are statically and dynamically balanced and supplied complete of the
safety fan guard according to the CEI EN 60335-2-80 Rule (safety for electrical apparatus of domestic and similar use). They are
mounted on the unit frame by interposition of rubber vibration dampers. The electric motors are all brushless DC type with 8
poles (about 200/1000 rpm). The motors are directly driven with an integrated thermal overload protection. The protection class
of the motors is IP X44.
5.6 USER SIDE HEAT EXCHANGERS
The user side heat exchangers are made up of AISI 304 stainless steel braze-welded plates type. The user heat exchangers are
factory insulated with flexible close cell material and can be equipped with antifreeze heater (KA optional). Each heat exchanger is
provided with a temperature sensor working as antifreeze protection that activates the circulator, even in the case when the unit
is turned off when the conditions set in the controller have been occurred.
5.7 ELECTRIC BOX
The electric box is manufactured according to the current European Union laws. The accessibility to the board is possible after
removing the cover panel of the unit using proper tools. The protection degree is IP24. The terminal board is supplied with voltage
free contacts for remote ON-OFF, winter/summer change over, auxiliary heater, sanitary water temperature sensor control of
external 3-way valve and free contacts for remote control panel and for the management of the dual set point of operation.
5.8 CONTROL SYSTEM
All the units of i-HWAK V4 series are standard supplied with a microprocessor adopting an overheating control logic program
through the electronic expansion valve which is driven by the pressure transducers signals. The microprocessor is also capable of
controlling the following functions: water temperature regulation, antifreeze protection, compressors’ time setting, compressor
automatic starting sequence, alarm reset, alarm management and operating LED. Upon request, the microprocessor can be
connected to a BMS remote control system and to the simpler HNS system with our terminal units. The control system together
with the INVERTER technology and the on board sensors continuously monitor and adapt the performance of the inverter

7INSTALLATION
WARNING: All the operation described in next chapters MUST BE DONE BY TRAINED PEOPLE ONLY. Before any
operation on the unit, be sure that the electric supply is disconnected. Be sure also, using suitable obstructions,
that can avoid accidental power supply switching ON until the end of all operations.
7.1 GENERALITY
When installing or servicing the unit, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules listed in this manual, to conform to all the
specifications of the labels on the unit, and to take any possible precautions. Not observing the rules reported on this manual can
create dangerous situations.
After receiving the unit, immediately check its integrity. The unit left the factory in perfect condition; any eventual
damage has to be questioned to the carrier and recorded on the Delivery Note before signing it.
The company has to be informed, within 8 days, of the extent of the damage. The Customer should prepare a written statement of
any severe damage.
WARNING: The units are designed for outdoor installation. The place of installation must be entirely far away from
fire risk. All the necessary measures should be adopted in order to prevent the fire risk in the place of installation. The
outdoor ambient temperature shall not exceed 46°C. Above this value, the unit is no longer covered by the directives
in force in the area of pressure equipment.
WARNING: The unit should be installed so that adequate clearance is available for maintenance and repairation. The
warranty does not cover costs related to platforms or handling equipment necessary for any maintenance.
All maintenance and testing operations should be carried out only by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Before any operation on the unit, make sure the power supply is disconnected.
WARNING: MOVING PARTS, RISK OF DEATH.
Disconnect the power supply and ensure that the fan is stopped before opening the front panel.
The temperatures of heads and discharge piping of the compressor are usually high.
Be careful when working near condensing coils.
The aluminum fins are very sharp and can cause serious injuries.
After the maintenance operations, close the panels tightly with the fastening screws.
7.2 LIFTING AND HANDLING
When unloading and installing the unit, it is highly recommended to
avoid any sudden move in order to protect the inner components.
Units can be lifted by means of a forklift or, in alternative, of belts,
being sure not to damage the lateral panels and the cover. It is
important to keep the unit horizontal during these operations.
7.3 LOCATION AND MINIMUM TECHNICAL CLEARANCES
The all i-HWAK V4 units are designed for outdoor installation: any cover over the unit and location near trees (even if they partially
cover the unit) has to be avoided in order to prevent air recirculation. It is advisable to create a proper basement, with a size
similar to unit foot-print. Unit vibration level is very low: it is advisable however, to fit a rigid rubber band between basement and
unit base-frame. It is also possible to install anti-vibration supports (springs or rubbers) to keep vibrations at a very low level.
Absolute care has to be taken to ensure adequate air volume to the condenser. Re-circulation of discharge air has to be avoided;
failure to observe this point will result in poor performance or activation of safety controls. For these reasons it is absolutely
necessary to respect the following clearances:

CAUTION: Is is obligatory to install the unit on a firm and appropriate basement to support its weight.
Considering the weight of the unit, possible vibrations and resultant noise, we do not recommend suspension
installion of the unit; in this case, the firm is not responsible for any damage or inconvenience that may result.
7.4 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
The hydraulic connections have to be installed in accordance with national and local regulations; pipes can be made up of steel,
galvanized steel or PVC. Pipes have to be designed depending on the nominal water flow and on the hydraulic pressure drops of
the system. All pipes have to be insulated with closed-cell material of adequate thickness. Chillers have to be connected to piping
by means of flexible joints. Piping should include:
•Hole thermometers to monitor the system’s temperature.
•Manual gate valves to separate the chiller from the hydraulic circuit.
•Y-shaped metallic filter (to be mounted on the inlet pipe) with a mesh not larger than 1mm.
•Charging group and discharge valve, where necessary.
WARNING: Make sure that, when designing the pipe length and diameter, do not exceed the maximum head loss
on the plant side, please see the technical data given in the table of Paragraph 12 (available pressure head).
WARNING: Connect the pipes to the attacks by using always key against key system.
WARNING: The expansion vessel have a limited volume. The installator have to provide a further expansion vessel
if it is necessary.
WARNING: Unit water inlet pipe have to be in correspondence with the connection labelled: ”WATER INLET”,
otherwise the evaporator may freeze.
WARNING: It is compulsory to install on the WATER INLET connection a metallic filter with a mesh not larger than
1mm. Should the water flow switch be altered or should the filter not be installed, the warranty will no longer be
valid. The filter have to be kept clean, so make sure it is clean after the unit has been installed, and then check it
periodically.
All units are standard supplied with the water flow switch (factory installed). Should the water flow switch be
altered, removed, or should the water filter not be installed on the unit, the warranty will be invalidated. Please
refer to the wiring diagram for the water flow switch electric connections.
Make sur that the heating system and the safety valves must comply with the requirements of EN 12828.
7.4.1 Drainage connection
All the units of i-HWAK V4 series have been designed to use their own base as a drain pan; a plastic pipe fitting is standard
provided to be installed onto the lower part of the unit in the special housing enabling the connection of a drainage pipe.
Each unit is also provided, on the basement of the hydronic kit (at the heat exchanger side), with a hole that can allow to drain any
condensed water can leach from plumbing pipes. As the pipes must be well-insulated, the production of condensed water is
however very low and therefore the connection of a drainage pipe to that hole is not very required.
7.4.2 Plant circuit charging
WARNING: Verify all the charging/topping up operations.
WARNING: Before beginning the charging/topping up operation of the plant circuit, disconnect the unit for the
electric power supply.
WARNING: The charging/topping up of the plant circuit must always be done under controlled conditions of
pressure (max 1 bar). Make sure that you have installed on the line of charging/topping up a pressure
reducerdevice and a relief valve.
WARNING: The water on the charging/topping up pipe must be suitably pre-filtered from any impurities and
suspended particles. Make sure that you have installed a cartridge filter removable.
WARNING: Before beginning the charging/topping up operation, unscrew the plug of the air vent valve. Tighten
the plug after finishing the operation of charging/topping up of the plant circuit system.
WARNING: As the air vent valve is manual, it is necessary to proceed by air purging periodically to eliminate the
accumulated air from the system as described in this paragraph.
WARNING: Make sure to install an automatic air vent valve at the highest point of the system.

WARNING: The unit must be connected to the electrical network and should be in STAND-BY mode (powered) closing
the general switch in order to operate the crankcase heaters of the compressor for a minimum of 12 hours before
start up. (the heaters are automatically powered when the main switch is switched off). The crankcase heaters are
working properly if, after some minutes, the temperature of crankcase’s compressor is about 10°C ÷ 15°C higher than
ambient temperature.
WARNING: The weight of the pipes doesn’t load unit structure.
WARNING: Never switch off the unit (for a temporary stop) by switching off the main switch: this component should
be used to disconnect the unit from the power supply only for lengthy stoppages (e.g. seasonal stoppages). Besides,
failing the power supply, the crankcase’s heaters are not supplied thus resulting in a possible breakdown of the
compressors once the unit is switched on.
WARNING: Do not modify the internal wiring of the unit otherwise the warranty will terminate immediately.
WARNING: The summer/winter operating mode have to be selected at the beginning of the related season. Frequent
and sudden changes of this seasonal operating mode have to be avoided in order to prevent severe damages to
compressors.
WARNING: When you first install and start-up the unit make sure that the unit is working properly in both cooling
and heating modes.
9SHUTDOWNS FOR LONG PERIODS
The types of shutdown depends on the weather of the site where the unit is installed and on the period of the stop. The antifreeze
system, if it’s installed, stay on work also with the on-board control unit in “OFF” position.
If the time of stop is long and the temperature is low, we recommend to drain the hydraulic circuits or use a mixture of water and
glycol.
Drain the hydraulic circuits and shutdown the unit with this passage:
Turn off the unit by placing the switch of each unit to "OFF" position.
Close the water valves.
Place the general differential circuit breaker on "OFF" position, if it is installed upstream of the system.
If the temperature drops below 0°C there is serious danger of frost: add a mixture of water and glycol in the
plant, otherwise drain the hydraulic circuits of the plant and of the heat pump.
WARNING: the operation, although it was transient, with water temperatures below +5°C is not guaranteed on
the basis of the limits set out in Paragraph 15.4. Before you turn the unit on after a long off period, make sure
that the temperature of the mixture of water and glycol is higher than or at least equal to + 5°C.
10 MAINTENANCE AND PERIODICAL CONTROLS
WARNING: All the operations described in this chapter HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT BY TRAINED STAFF ONLY.
Before any operation or before entering the inner components of the unit, be sure that the power supply is
disconnected. The compressor’s heads and discharge piping are usually at high temperature levels. Be very
careful when operating in their surroundings. Aluminium coil fins are very sharp and can cause serious wounds.
Be very careful when operating in their surroundings. After maintenance operations, re-install the cover panels,
and fix them by means of screws.
The refrigerant circuits must not be filled with different gas other than that indicated on the nameplate. The use
of a different refrigerant can cause severe damage to the compressor.
