1 FEATURES ANDTECHNICAL DATA
For the characteristics of the individual modules (GAHP/
GA/AY units) that make up the RT__ Link, and of the con-
trol devices (DDC, CCP/CCI, ...), refer to the respective
Manuals (attached).
1.1 FEATURES
Preassembled groups
The RT__ Link are gas powered (natural gas or LPG) heat-
ing/cooling sets, to supply hot and/or chilled water. Each
group consists of a certain number of individual gas pow-
ered modules/heating/cooling appliances (GAHP/GA/AY
units).The set of appliances and components is preassem-
bled at the factory, forming a complete hydronic group al-
ready predisposed to be simply connected to the system.
Application
Each preassembled group according to its conguration
(RTAR, RTCF, RTY, RTAY, RTYR, RTA, ... Link) is able to simul-
taneously or alternatively deliver heating, cooling, DHW
production and heat recovery, according to the needs
of each single installation, with a signicantly extensive
range of heating and cooling power. The various hydronic
models (RTAR, RTCF, ... Link) are suitable for all heating and
cooling systems operating with hot and/or chilled water,
with common terminals (e.g. radiators, fan coils, radiant
panels, fan heaters, air handling units, DHW production
boilers, pool heat exchangers...), including process plants
(industrial heat exchangers).
Manufacturing features
Each preassembled group, in addition to the gas powered
GAHP/GA/AY heating/cooling modules/units, is com-
posed of:
▶
delivery/return stainless steel hydraulic manifolds, in-
sulated with rigid cups lined with aluminum sheet
▶
galvanized steel gas outlet manifold
▶
exible connecting couplings of individual units to hy-
draulic and gas manifolds
▶
condensate discarge manifold (only if A/GS/WS/AY
condensing appliances are included)
▶
electrical panel with protection devices (2 electrical
panels with more than 5-6 modules)
▶
bearing structure with galvanized steel sections
Composition (GAHP/GA/AY modules)
The gas heating/cooling modules that make up a
RT__ Link can be:
▶
GAHP units, A/AR/GS/WS versions, absorption heat
pumps
▶
GA units, ACF/HR/TK/LB versions, absorption chillers
▶
AY unit, condensing boiler
distinguished in:
▶
aerothermal units (A, AR, ACF, HR, TK, LB)
▶
hydrothermal (WS) and geothermal (GS) units
in variable number:
▶
from 2 to 5 in the case of GAHP/GA only
▶
from 2 to 8 in the case of GAHP/GA and AY
Groups with aerothermal units must be installed exclu-
sively outside, while others may be installed either in-
doors or outdoors.
The aerothermal modules of RT__ Links may be in
conguration:
▶
with standard fans
▶
with silenced fans (S or S1)
Congurations
▶
without circulators or with circulators (standard or
oversize circulators)
▶
2, 4 or 6 pipes, ie 1, 2 or 3 pairs of delivery/return hy-
draulic collectors/connections for hot and/or cold wa-
ter, connected as needed.
1.2 CIRCULATING PUMPS
Preassembled groups without water circulation
pumps
If the RT__ Link is without circulators, It must be installed
on the hydraulic/primary circuit at least one circulation
pump, suitably selected and rated (by the designer/
installer).
Preassembled groups with water circulation
pumps
In the RT__ Links already provided with circulators, each
individual GAHP/GA/AY module that is part of the group
has (at least) a single independent circulator.
The circulators are installed externally to the GAHP/
GA units, which have a special protection cover
(Figure 1.14
p. 20
), while for AY00-120 units the
circulators are installed internally to the unit itself.
The available head at the hydraulic connections of the
preassembled group should be considered net of internal
pressure drops, in the units and in the hydraulic manifolds.
Table 1.1
p. 7
provides the minimum residual head at
the nominal ow in the largest conguration.

pressure drop data.
1.3 CODING
Each group is encoded with a series of letters and digits
that distinguish its composition and conguration. In
order:
