ColdMachine Technical description
39
5 Technical description
The cooling units are suitable for use with 12 V or 24 V DC voltage and can
therefore be used for camping or on boats. Furthermore, you can connect
them to a 230 V mains supply via the WAECO rectifiers (see chapter “Acces-
sories” on page 38).
When used on boats, the cooling unit can withstand a constant heeling of
30°.
This refrigerant circuit is CFC-free.
The cooling unit must be used together with a vaporiser. In addition, you can
use an accumulator with or without TEC control. The CS-NC15 comprises a
cooling unit and a vaporiser.
Use the continuously variable thermostat on the vaporiser to set the desired
temperature.
The accumulator and TEC program control ensure a high cooling capacity
and improve the unit’s efficiency. The accumulator is charged when there is
a sufficient supply of power (for example when powered by a mains adapter).
In the event of accumulator usage or under-voltage, the coolant is drawn
from the accumulator until it is empty. Thus, no power is taken from the bat-
tery during this time.
The TEC program control always ensures that
zCold energy is stored if there is excess electrical energy (external supply
of power by a generator).
zThe coolant accumulator can be used at any time to ensure that the com-
plete battery power is used for other consumers.
zStored cold energy is automatically retrieved to preserve the interior
cooling temperature of the cooling area, once the battery capacity is
exhausted.
INote
Further information on the coolant accumulator can be found in
chapter “Use coolant accumulator” on page 48.

5.1 Battery monitor
The cooling device is equipped with an electronic device to protect against
reversing the polarity when connecting to a battery. To protect the battery,
the cooling device switches off automatically if the voltage is insufficient (see
following table).

6 Installing the cooling unit
6.1 Notes on the cooling container
Permitted cooling area contents
Make sure that maximum cooling area contents specified are not exceeded
for the respective vaporiser type (see chapter “Technical data” on page 53).
Minimum insulation
The maximum cooling area contents are based on a minimum insulation
thickness of 35 mm of foam polyurethane with a density of 40 kg/m³. If other
insulating materials are used such as styrofoam, double the wall thickness to
attain the same level of heat insulation.
Installing the vaporiser
The vaporiser must be installed in the cooling container (except CS-NC15,
the vaporiser is premounted).
➤Observe the following in the process:
zCorrect installation position (fig. 3, page 4 up to fig. 0, page 6)
zArrangement in the cooling container as far to the top as possible

zInstall a least 10 mm from the wall (not VD-14N and VD-15).
aCaution!
For cooling units without valve couplings (ready-to install units):
Do not open the refrigerant circuit during installation. You may have
to make the wall openings larger to be able to slide the vaporiser
through them (fig. b, page 7). Or alternatively, you create an open-
ing that allows you to install the cooling lines at the top (fig. c,
page 7).
Connecting the vaporiser
➤Connect the vaporisers VD-14N and VD-15 in accordance with fig. a,
page 7.
➤Connect vaporiser VD-16 according to fig. 9, page 6.
➤Connect vaporiser VD-17 according to fig. 0, page 6.
➤Connect vaporiser VD-06 according to fig. k, page 10.
➤Connect other vaporisers according to fig. j, page 9.

aCaution!
Carefully insulate and seal off the wall openings after installation to
prevent moisture penetration.
For cooling units with valve couplings
➤Cut out a hole with a diameter of at least 30 mm (fig. d, page 7) for the
cooling lines. To do this, use a circular cutter.
aCaution!
Never bend the connecting line between the vaporiser and the unit.
The minimum bending radius is 25 mm.
6.2 Installing the cooling unit
It is important to select the proper location for setting up the unit. To ensure
trouble-free operation, please note the following points:
zSet up the cooling unit in a dry, sheltered place. Avoid placing it near heat
sources such as radiators, gas ovens or hot water pipes. Do not place in
direct sunlight.
zOn a boat, install the cooling unit, if possible, below the waterline.
zThe heated air must dissipate unhindered (fig. e, page 8).
zWhen installing the cooling unit in a closed room such as a wardrobe,
pantry or aft compartment, openings must have a cross section of at
least 200 cm² (25 cm x 8 cm) for cooling and exhaust air.
zMake sure that the air flow on the condenser (fig. e3, page 8) is not
restricted.

zMaintain a minimum distance between the condenser and adjoining wall
of 50 mm.
zCS-NC15: Observe the drilling template (fig. l, page 11) and the
installation drawing (fig. m, page 12).
6.3 Installing the external temperature regulator
Mechanical thermostat
The temperature regulator can be mounted either on the outside or inside of
the cooling container. The interior temperature is regulated depending on the
surface temperature of the vaporiser, or for VD-14N and VD-15, depending
on the room temperature.
➤Connect the coiled end of the sensor cable to the vaporiser (not VD-14N,
VD-15) using the clamping plate. This is premounted on VD-14N, VD-15.
➤Make sure that the sensor line does not make contact anywhere else with
the vaporiser or with the suction line.
TEC control
The TEC control must be attached outside of the cooling container.
The internal temperature is regulated according to the vaporiser surface
temperature.
The temperature sensor has been factory-mounted to the accumulator.
➤Connect the temperature sensor with the TEC control via the plug-in
coupling.
Mount the one-way couplings (not CS-NC15)
The cooling unit is delivered in a disconnected state (the vaporiser and com-
pressor are separated); however, it has been filled at the factory with the
proper amount of coolant.
➤Install the machine part and the vaporiser.
➤Remove the screwed-on caps from the coupling halves that protect the
rubber seal from dirt.
The fig. f, page 8, shows the condition of the coupling halves after
removing the caps when uncoupled.
➤Place the coupling halves by hand on top without tension and tighten
them by hand (fig. g, page 8).
