1 FEATURES ANDTECHNICAL DATA
For the characteristics of the individual modules (GAHP/GA/AY
units) that make up the RT__ Link, and of the control devices
(DDC, CCP/CCI, ...), refer to the respective Manuals (attached).
1.1 FEATURES
Preassembled groups
The RT__ Links are gas powered (natural gas or LPG) heating/
cooling sets, to supply hot and/or chilled water. Each group con-
sists of a certain number of individual gas powered modules/
heating/cooling appliances (GAHP/GA/AY units). The set of ap-
pliances and components is preassembled at the factory, form-
ing a complete hydronic group already predisposed to be simply
connected to the system.
Application
Each preassembled group according to its conguration (RTAR,
RTCF, RTY, RTAY, RTYR, RTA, ... Links) is able to simultaneously 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 output.
The various hydronic models (RTAR, RTCF, ... Links) are suitable
for all heating and cooling systems operating with hot and/or
chilled water, with common heat exchangers (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 GAHP/GA/AY heat-
ing/cooling modules/units gas powered, is composed of:
▶
delivery/return stainless steel hydraulic manifolds, insulated
with rigid cups lined with aluminum sheet;
▶
galvanized steel gas outlet manifold;
▶
exible connecting couplings of individual units to hydraulic
and gas manifolds;
▶
condensate discarge manifold (only if A/GS/WS/AY condens-
ing 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;
▶
GAHP units, A/AR/GS/WS 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 exclusively out-
side, while others may be installed either indoors or outdoors.
The aerothermal modules of RT__ Links may be in conguration:
▶
with standard fans (STD);
▶
with silenced fans (SIL 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 hydraulic
collectors/connections for hot and/or cold water, 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 individ-
ual 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.19
), while for AY00-120 units the circulators are
installed internally to the unit itself.
The available head at the hydraulic connections of the preas-
sembled group should be considered net of internal pressure
drops, in the units and in the hydraulic manifolds.
Table 1.2
p. 7
provides the minimum residual head at the
nominal ow in the largest conguration.

sure drop data.
1.3 CODING
Each group is encoded with a series of letters and digits that dis-
tinguish its composition and conguration. In order:
1. (3 or 4 letters) = group type (eg RTAR, RTCF, RTAY, RTA, RTY,
...), based on composing modules (GAHP A/AR/WS/GS, GA
ACF/HR/TK/LB, AY00-120;
2. (2 or 3 digits) = cold power, given by the sum of the cold
powers of the individual modules;
3. (2 or 3 digits) = heat power, given by the sum of the heat
powers of the individual modules;
4. (_, /4 or /6) = number of pipes, ie delivery/return manifold
pairs (1, 2 or 3);
5. (2 letters) = modules type;
6. (_, S, S1) = standard or silenced fans (only for aerothermal
units);
7. (MET/NAT, G25, GPL/LPG) = combustible gas (natural gas or
LPG);
8. (2 or 3 letters) = nationality;
