9.4.3 - Three-way valves

It is strongly recommended to install a three-way valve in
the system (not supplied with the unit). A 0-10 V output is
available on the unit electronic board to control this valve.
The valve allows bypassing of the heat reclaim condenser
entering/leaving circuit to ensure unit operation with heat
reclaim at low entering water temperature (< 12.5°C). It also
ensures an optimal and controlled leaving water temperature.

and industrial installations and near trees that shed their

Never use a fluid with a temperature above 45°C to clean
the air heat exchangers.
For coil cleaning, two maintenance levels are used, based
on the AFNOR X60-010 standard:
Correct and frequent cleaning (approximately every three
months) will prevent 2/3 of the corrosion problems.
Level 1
Protect the control box during cleaning operations.
• If the condensers are fouled, clean them gently in a
vertical direction, using a brush.
12.7 - Evaporator maintenance
• Only work on condensers with the fans switched off.

• With MCHX condensers it is preferable to clean them
with a vacuum cleaner or a high-pressure cleaner
(maximum 68 bar and with 300 mm distance between
the diffuser and the coil).

Level 2
The two cleaning products can be used for any of the follow-
ing coil finishes: Cu/Cu, Cu/Al, Cu/Al with Polual, Blygold
and/or Heresite protection.

Clean the coil, using appropriate products.

We recommend TOTALINE products for coil cleaning:

Part No. P902 DT 05EE: traditional cleaning method
Part No. P902 CL 05EE: cleaning and degreasing.

These products have a neutral pH value, do not contain

phosphates, are not harmful to the human body, and can be
disposed of through the public drainage system.

Depending on the degree of fouling both products can be

used diluted or undiluted.

12.8.3 - Compressor rotation control

Correct compressor rotation is one of the most critical appli-
cation considerations. Reverse rotation, even for a very
short duration, damages the compressor.

The reverse rotation protection scheme must be capable of

determining the direction of rotation and stopping the com-
pressor within 300 milliseconds. Reverse rotation is most
likely to occur whenever the wiring to the compressor
terminals is disturbed.

To minimize the opportunity for reverse rotation, the follow-

ing procedure must be applied. Rewire the power cables to
the compressor terminal pin as originally wired.

For replacement of the compressor, a low pressure switch

is included with the compressor. This low pressure switch
should be temporarily installed as a hard safety on the high
pressure part of the compressor. The purpose of this switch
is to protect the compressor against any wiring errors at
the compressor terminal pin. The electrical contact of the
switch would be wired in series with the high pressure switch.
The switch will remain in place until the compressor has
been started and direction of rotation has been verified; at
this point, the switch will be removed.

The switch that has been selected for detecting reverse

rotation is Carrier part number HK01CB001. This switch
opens the contacts when the pressure falls below 7 kPa. The
switch is a manual reset type that can be reset after the
pressure has once again risen above 70 kPa. It is critical
that the switch be a manual reset type to preclude the
compressor from short cycling in the reverse direction.
