1 - INTRODUCTION

Do not attempt to remove refrigerant circuit components or fittings

while the machine is under pressure or while it is running. Make
sure the circuit pressure is zero and that the unit has been
stopped and powered off before removing components or
opening a circuit. When the refrigerant circuit is opened to repair,
see the recommendations in chapter “Maintenance safety
considerations”.
No part of the unit must be used as a walkway, rack or support.
Periodically check and repair or, if necessary, replace any
component or piping that shows signs of damage.
The lines can break under the weight and release refrigerant,
causing personal injury.
Do not climb on a machine. Use a platform to work at height.
Use mechanical lifting equipment (crane, hoist, winch, etc.)
to lift or move heavy components.
For lighter components, use lifting equipment if there is any risk
of slipping or losing your balance.
Use only original replacement parts for any repair or component
replacement. Consult the list of replacement parts that
corresponds to the original equipment.
Do not drain the heat exchange fluid circuit without informing the
site technical / service department or other competent body first.
Close the shut-off valves on the water inlet and outlet and drain
the unit's hydraulic circuit before working on the components
installed on the circuit (screen filter, pump, water flow sensor,
etc.).
Periodically inspect all valves, fittings and pipes on the refrigerant
and hydraulic circuits to ensure that they do not show any signs
of corrosion or leaks.

• The forks of the forklift must pass all the way under the load Before positioning the unit, check that:
• The load must be lowered down a slope in reverse, with • The permitted loading at the site is adequate or that
the mast tilted backwards. appropriate strengthening measures have been taken.
• The load must be raised up a slope in forward gear, with • The unit is installed level on an even surface (maximum
the mast tilted backwards tolerance is 5 mm along both axes).
In both cases, drive at low speed, applying the brakes gradually. • If the support structure is sensitive to vibration and/or noise
transmission it is advisable to insert anti-vibration mounts
(elastomer mounts or metal springs) between the unit and
the structure. Selection of these devices is based on the
system characteristics and the comfort level required and
should be made by technical specialists.
• There is adequate space above and around the unit for air
to circulate and for access to the components (see
dimensional drawings).
• The number of support points is adequate and that they are
in the right places.

on the certified dimensional drawing.
• The location is not subject to flooding.
• For outdoor applications, avoid installing the unit in a
location where snow is likely to accumulate (in areas subject
to long periods of sub-zero temperatures, the unit should
be raised).
• Baffles may be necessary to deflect strong winds. They
must not restrict air flow into the unit.

7.5 - Water exchanger min. water volume and flow rate

The Connect Touch control is equipped with anticipation logic making it highly flexible in adjusting operation to parameter drift,
particularly on hydraulic systems with low water volumes. By adjusting compressor running times, it prevents short cycle protection
cycles from starting and, in most cases, eliminates the need for a buffer tank.
Note: The minimum heat transfer fluid volumes are calculated for EUROVENT rated conditions:
• heat transfer fluid temperature in the water exchanger = 12°C / 7°C
• inlet air temperature in the air exchanger = 35°C
This value applies to most air conditioning applications (assembly with fan coil units)
For reversible machines (ILD), these minimum volumes take into account the defrosting cycles in order to prevent temperature
degradation of the water loop.
Note:
For installations operating on low water volumes (assembly with air handling unit) or for industrial processes, the buffer tank is
essential.

Units supplied with a hydronic module may include an expansion vessel which limits the volume in the water loop.
The table below gives the maximum loop volume compatible with the expansion vessel (for pure water or ethylene glycol depending
on the system's various concentrations and static pressures). If this volume is less than the volume of the installed loop, then it is
necessary to add an additional expansion vessel within the system.

8.6 - Extra electrical heaters field-installed or integrated into the buffer tank (depending on
the option chosen)
To compensate for the reduction in the heat pump's output at low ambient temperatures, which changes significantly as shown in
the graph below, it is possible to install on the water outlet auxiliary electrical heaters of sufficient power to offset the heat pump
capacity drop.
These heaters can be controlled via the dedicated option.
Up to four outputs are available to control the contactors (not supplied on the plate for the option to be field installed) on the heaters,
thereby enabling gradual compensation of the reduction in the heat pump output.
These outputs are configurable to allow for two, three or four stages as required (depending on the option chosen). The last stage
is only activated in case of shut-down due to a fault on the heat pump (emergency).
It is possible to choose an extra heater option to be field installed or an option which directly integrates the heaters in the buffer
tank. In the case of this second option, three extra heater outputs are available: 16 kW / 31 kW / 45 kW.
The graph below shows an example of operation with additional heaters, where the power of the four heaters equals the capacity
of the heat pump at an outdoor air temperature of 7 °C.

This is checked by reading the pressure drop on the unit (plate

target flow rate, so the valve is suitably positioned
compared to the available static pressure generated by the pump.
In this case, close the control valve (item 22) and read the new
flow rate value.
Repeat as necessary, closing the control valve (item 22) until
the system's specific pressure drop corresponding to the unit's
design flow rate is achieved.
NOTE:
If the network has an excessive pressure drop in relation to the
available static pressure delivered by the unit pump, the nominal
water flow rate cannot be obtained (lower resulting flow rate)
and the difference in temperature between the water inlet and
outlet of the water type heat exchanger will be increased
To reduce the system's hydraulic network pressure drop:
• Reduce the pressure drops of individual components
(bends, level changes, options, etc.) as much as possible;
• Use the correct pipe diameter;
• Do not extend the hydronic systems

Contact the manufacturer's service department to implement the
procedures described below.
Hydraulic circuit cleaning procedure
Before proceeding, it is advisable to remove any possible
contamination from the water circuit.
• Start-up the system pump by using the forced start
command.
• Control the frequency to the maximum value to generate
a higher flow.
• If there is a ‘‘Maximum flow exceeded’’ alarm, reduce the
frequency until an acceptable value is reached.
• Read the value of the flow on the user interface.
• Let the pump run for 2 hours continuously to clean up the
system's hydraulic circuit (presence of contaminating
solids).
• Perform another reading of the flow and compare this value
with the initial value. A reducing value of the flow indicates
that the filters on the system need to be removed and
cleaned. In this case, close the shut-off valves on the water
inlet and outlet (item 19) and remove the filters (items 20
and 1) after draining the hydronic part of the unit (items 6).
• Remove the air from the circuit (items 5 and 17).
• Repeat until all fouling is removed from the filter

EN-39 AQUACIAT LD/ILD

9 - NOMINAL SYSTEM WATER FLOW CONTROL

9.4 - Units with hydronic module and variable speed pump – Temperature differential control
The system flow rate has not been set to a nominal value.
The flow rate will be adjusted, by varying the pump speed, to maintain a heat exchanger temperature differential value defined by
the user.
This is checked by the temperature sensors at the water exchanger inlet and outlet (items 8 and 9 on the main water circuit diagram).
The system reads the measured temperature values, calculates the corresponding Delta T, compares it with the setpoint value set
by the user and then modulates the pump speed.
• This results in an increase in the flow rate if the Delta T° exceeds the setpoint.
• This results in a decrease in the flow rate if the Delta T° is less than the setpoint.
This modulation is limited only by the maximum and minimum flow rates for the unit and by the maximum and minimum allowable
pump speeds.
The resulting Delta T° may, in certain cases, differ from the setpoint value:
• if the setpoint value is too high (obtained for a flow rate lower than the minimum value or a frequency less than the minimum
value), the system will stop once it reaches the minimum flow rate or minimum frequency, which will result in a temperature
delta below the setpoint,
• if the setpoint value is too low (obtained for a flow rate higher than the maximum value or a frequency greater than the maximum
value), the system will stop once it reaches the maximum flow rate or maximum frequency, which will result in a Delta T°
above the setpoint.
Contact the manufacturer's service department to implement the procedures described below.
Hydraulic circuit cleaning procedure
Refer to the water circuit cleaning procedure.
Procedure for adjusting the Delta T° setpoint
Once the circuit is cleaned, stop the forced start of the pump and proceed to the configuration of the unit for the required control
mode.
Modify the control parameters:
• Set water flow control to ‘temperature differential’
• Set the value of the required differential temperature.
The unit's default configuration is at the fixed speed (50 Hz)

10 - SYSTEM START-UP

10.3 - Essential points to check

Compressors
Ensure that each compressor is rotating in the correct direction,
checking that the discharge temperature rises quickly, the HP
increases and the LP drops. If it is rotating in the wrong direction,
the electric power supply is incorrectly wired (reversed phases).
To ensure rotation in the correct direction, swap the two power
supply phases.
- Check the compressor discharge temperature with a contact
sensor
- Check the input current; it should be normal
- Check all safety devices to make sure they operate correctly
Hydraulics
The exact total drop in system pressure will not be known at
commissioning. It will therefore be necessary to adjust the flow
of water with the control valve until the desired nominal rate is
obtained.
By causing the pressure in the water system to drop, this control
valve aligns the system pressure/flow curve with that of the pump
so that the nominal flow rate corresponding to the desired
operating point is obtained. The pressure drop in the water
exchanger (read using the pressure gauge placed on the
exchanger inlet and outlet) is the reference to be used to check
and adjust the nominal flow rate of the system.
Follow the procedure described below:
- Open the control valve completely
- Let the pump run for two hours to flush out any solid particles
in the circuit
- Read the pressure drop in the water exchanger when the
pump is turned on and then two hours afterwards
- If the pressure drop has decreased, this means that the screen
filter is clogged. It must be removed and cleaned
- Repeat until the filter is completely clean
- If the system pressure drops are above the available static
pressure delivered by the pump, the resulting water flow rate
will be low and the difference in temperature between the
exchanger inlet and outlet will be too high. This is why pressure
drops must be minimised. Check that this difference is within
the values on the curve (refer to section "Water type heat
exchanger min. water volume and flow rate")
- If the extra heater option is present in the water tank, check
that the tank is completely filled so that all the heaters are
immersed, check that the immersion heaters are operating
correctly, and that the safety thermostats are triggered
(present on each immersion heater).
Refrigerant charge
Each unit is shipped with an exact charge of refrigerant.

11 - MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE UNIT AND OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
11.1 - Compressors See the Service Guide for the oil removal and refill procedures.
The units use hermetically sealed scroll compressors. WARNING: too much oil in the circuit can cause the unit to
malfunction.
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase oil heater,
as standard. There is no heater fault detection. NOTE: only use oils which have been approved for the
compressors. Never use oils which have been exposed to air.
Each compressor sub-assembly has:
• Anti-vibration mountings between the unit chassis and the WARNING: polyolester oils are completely incompatible with

ensuring good lubrication under all operating conditions. The oil
level check can be done:
• On the system: the oil levels must be greater than or equal
to half of the sight glass.
• A few minutes after the sub-function has come to a complete
stop: the oil levels must be visible in the sight glasses.
If this is not the case, there might be a leak or an oil trap in the
circuit. If there is an oil leak, find and repair it, then refill with
refrigerant and oil.

12.2.3.5 Control configuration with the desuperheater option

This configuration enables the user to enter a setpoint relating to the minimum condensation temperature (default value = 40°C)
to increase the heating capacity recovered by the desuperheaters, if required.
In fact, the recovered heating capacity percentage in relation to the total capacity released by the air-cooled exchanger increase
based on the saturated condensation temperature.
Refer to the control manual for adjustment of the minimum saturated condensation temperature setpoint.
Other parameters directly affect the effective capacity recovered from the desuperheater, which are mainly:
- The unit's load rate, which governs whether it runs at full load (100%) or at part load (depending on the number of compressors
the unit has per circuit).
- The water inlet temperature in the desuperheater, depending on the unit's "Heating" or "Cooling" operating modes:
• in "Heating" mode, the water inlet temperature in the water-cooled exchanger
• in "Cooling" mode, the ambient temperature at the air-cooled exchanger air inlet.

12.2.4 - Two units running as master/slave Case 1: operation in parallel - control

on water inlet for a hydronic module
The customer must connect both units with a communication
bus using a 0.75 mm² twisted, shielded cable (contact the
manufacturer's Service for installation).
All parameters required for Master/Slave operation must be
configured by the Service configuration menu.
All remote controls of the Master/slave assembly (start/stop,
unloading, etc.) are managed by the unit configured as Master
and must be applied only to the Master unit.
Units supplied with hydronic module
Master-slave operation is possible only when the units are
installed in parallel:
• The master-slave assembly is controlled on the water inlet
without any additional sensors (standard configuration) (see
example 1).
• Control of Master and Slave on the water outlet is possible
by adding two additional sensors in the common supply
pipe work (see example 2).
Case 2: operation in parallel - control
Each unit controls its own water pump.

Units supplied without hydronic module
In the case of units installed in parallel and if there is only one
common pump installed by the installer, isolating valves must be
installed on each unit. These should be controlled (opened and
closed) using the control for the relevant unit (valves for each
unit can be controlled using the unit water pump control outputs).
Refer to the control manual for the connections.
IMPORTANT:
Both of the units must be equipped with an option to allow
