4.3 Personal protective equipment
IMPORTANT: Wear personal protective equipment suitable to the activities undertaken.

4.4 Cautions on refrigerant gases


WARNING: Please read carefully the information on refrigerant fluids used. This information
should be used as reference in the event of a health emergency.

DANGER: Any persons undertaking maintenance work on the units must be adequately trained on
the risks resulting from accidental spillage of refrigerant fluids contained inside the appliance.

4.5 Measures in the event of accidental refrigerant gas leakage


WARNING: If leakage occurs, allow the material to evaporate and adequately aerate the affected
area. Prevent vapours from penetrating drains, basements and work holes as they can create a
suffocating atmosphere. Contain the spilled substance (oil) with sand or other suitable absorbent
material.

4.6 Toxicological information for medical first aid


WARNING: The refrigerant fluids used do not contain substances that are hazardous to health and
have low absolute toxicity. High refrigerant concentrations in the air may cause narcosis and
asphyxiation. If sprayed or splashed the product may cause freeze burns to the eyes or skin.
• IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH EYES: Wash immediately for at least 10 minutes with an eye
wash solution or clean water, keeping eyelids open, and obtain medical assistance.
• IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH SKIN: Thaw affected areas with lukewarm water. Remove
contaminated clothing.
• IN CASE OF INHALATION: Remove patient from exposure, keep warm and at rest. Administer
oxygen if necessary. In case of cardiac arrest, apply heart massage and artificial respiration and
obtain immediate medical assistance.
• IN CASE OF INGESTION: Albeit an unlikely source of exposure, if ingestion does occur do not
induce vomiting. If patient is conscious, wash mouth with water and give 200-300ml of water to
drink. Obtain immediate medical assistance.

4.7 Fire-fighting measures


WARNING: Under normal temperature and pressure conditions, refrigerant fluids are not flammable
in air. However, thermal decomposition causes the release of toxic and corrosive vapours.
Power supply must be disconnected in the event of fire. During fire extinguishing operations use
breathing apparatus and wear full protective clothing. Although all fire-extinguishing media are
suitable, avoid using water jets as electrical current may be present.

4.8 Information on risks and hazards that cannot be eliminated

Refrigeration circuit standard components:

Compressor: hermetically sealed-type compressor, complete with built-in thermal protection to prevent overheating
and overcurrent. The compressor is mounted on anti-vibration supports to reduce stresses and preserve operation.
It does not require any routine maintenance, such as oil changes or top-ups.

Evaporator exchanger: evaporator with 4 attacks and 20 inox brazed plates blocked between initial plate and final
plate, isolated.

Condenser exchanger: finned heat exchanger with of copper pipes and aluminum painted fins. The condenser is
protected by a safety grating.

Condenser fan: low noise axial-type fan with motor directly coupled to the rotor. The fan operation is controlled by
a cut-off phase system; this technical solution allows to regulate fan velocity of rotation according to environmental
temperature, in order to optimize the operation of the chiller.

Condenser probe: temperature probe (for fan velocity regulation).

Solenoid by-pass valve / Pressostatic gas valve: hot gas by-pass valve.

Pressure switch (high pressure pressostat): the high pressure pressostat protects the refrigeration circuit
against excessively high operating pressure; the high pressure pressostat switches the compressor off when the
preset limit is exceeded. The compressor cannot re-start until the pressure reaches the normal operating values.

Mechanical filter: it protects the expansion device.

Expansion device: capillary pipe or thermostatic expansion valve.

Refrigeration circuit optional components:

Inlet air filter: it protects the chiller from dust and dirt. This filter should be cleared regularly to ensure an adequate

to limit the maximum pressure delivery value and to protect pump operation from over-heating problems. The pump
safety by-pass is calibrated by factory at a pressure value of 6,5 bar. This value must not be changed by the user.

Hydraulic circuit optionals:

Level switch: the level switch is located into the storage tank; if the fluid level decreases below the minimum value,
the cooling system and the pump are switched off. The cooling system and the pump restart only when the fluid is
filled up to the maximum level.

Flowswitch: the flowswitch is located on the delivery pipe; it provides an output digital signal when the fluid flow rate
falls below a control value (this value is calibrated by factory).

Hydraulic circuit accessories:

Automatic bypass (adjustable): this simple regulation component can be connected to the user cooling circuit; it
allows to limit the maximum pressure delivery value of the chiller to the user circuit, in order to protect the user from
over-pressure damages. The pressure value can be set by rotating a regulation screw.

WARNING: Handling and lifting operations should be performed by suitably specialized and trained
personnel. Do not open or tamper with the packaging before reaching the place of installation.

WARNING: The unit should be handled carefully to prevent damage to the structure and the internal
components. Ensure that there are no obstacles or persons along the route to avoid the risk of
crushing or the lifting equipment tipping over.

Before handling the machine in any way, check that the forks are aligned and the load is stable. During handling,
always check the machine, handle slowly, do not overturn and always keep in upright position.

IMPORTANT: When handling machine ensure it is always in an upright position. Do not allow to
overturn at any time.

6.5 Positioning

Place the chiller in a protected dry area, free of fumes, dust or flammable vapour. The atmosphere must be free of
any constituents that may impair the proper functioning of the chiller.

WARNING: Position machine only in indoor weather-proof environments.

WARNING: RFW chillers must not be installed in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres

The chiller should be installed on a horizontal and flat surface. Ensure that the support base is adequately sized to
hold up the weight of the unit supplied.

The chiller has to be positioned in an area with an ambient temperature that doesn’t exceed the values reported in
the technical datasheet. So as not to impair the cooling capacity of the chiller, it should be protected against direct
sunlight.

7. INSTALLATION

DANGER! Installation should be undertaken by qualified personnel only. Staff are required to comply
with local or national laws and regulations in force at the time of installing the machine.

7.1 Hydraulic circuit connections

For short-distance connections, flexible pipes with the same diameter as their fittings may be used. For distances
greater than 2 metres, all connections should be undertaken with suitably sized pipes. Pipe cross-sections should
never be smaller than the fittings on the unit. The chiller is equipped with GAS-thread fittings; to ensure the correct
tightness, glue should be used.

The pipes to be connected are:

• Outlet water to the application (OUT);


• Return water from the application (IN).

The identification of the joints for liquid in indicated on the chiller by the means of symbols.

IMPORTANT:
Ensure that pipes are properly supported.
To avoid the risk of crushing and/or breakages, pipes should not be positioned in areas of frequent
traffic or run along the ground.
Pipes should be covered with a minimum of 6mm thick insulating tube when the fluid circulating inside
them has a <15°C temperature.
Ensure that connections comply with the hydraulic circuit layout and the instructions on the machine
itself.

Recommendation for the installation of additional components:

• The hydraulic circuit of the user should be equipped with a shutdown valve for each pipe (delivery and return),
in order to easily separate the circuit from the chiller if it needs to be removed or switched off.
• Install a water filter on the return pipe to avoid deposits into the chiller.

7.2 Electric circuit connection

The properties of the power supply line (size, protection system, earth connection) must comply with the legislation
in the country in which it is installed.
Make sure that the electrical supply meets the requirements of the chiller and that the permitted values are not
exceeded. Information on electrical power input values for the chiller are available on the datasheet and on the
label on the chiller.

All the activities describes bellow must be performed by a qualified technician

7.2.1 Power cable connection

Connect the chiller to the power supply line using a three-phase, four wire system cable (3/PEN AC), through power
cable out or external connector if there is.

7.2.2 Trasformer setting for auxiliary

The chiller is set in factory for 400V power supply. For different voltage supply see the following diagrams

Upstream of the feeding line ,is necessary an adequate protection from the against short circuit and
over absorption . See the wiring diagram.

7.3 Hydraulic circuit protection – anticorrosion protection

The types of materials that make up the hydraulic circuit are particularly important, as is the type of fluid used for
recirculation inside the hydraulic circuit.
Firstly, the same type of metals should be used throughout: only copper, only iron or only stainless steel so as to
avoid any electrolysis phenomena due to galvanic currents arising from different metals coming into contact with a
possibly slightly acidic fluid. Plastic materials should be compatible with temperature and pressure values and with
the type of fluid used.
In any case, fluid flow velocities must not exceed 2 m/s regardless of the pipe material used. Higher velocities facilitate
the development of electrostatic currents which may cause metal corrosion.
The most widely used fluid is water. In any event, the water used should have a hardness below 20°F and a chlorine
content below 200ppm. It is recommended that boiled water is used in order to reduce the chlorine and oxygen
content to very low levels. Demineralized or distilled water can corrode metals and should not be used undiluted.

We recommend that you use water (boiled or demineralized) and add an antifreeze, antialgal and anticorrosion
product not exceeding a level of 30%.

Based on our own experience and long tests, we recommend a ready-for-use product suitable for this purpose. It is
called “COOL-CORE READY” and it’s a cooling fluid ready for use in motor spindle cooling systems, manufactured
by the company:

7.4 Hydraulic circuit protection – antifreeze protection

RFW series units are designed to be used in environments with temperatures ranging between 15 and 45°C. Despite
this, however, user requirements may dictate that they are installed in locations where the temperature may fall below
5°C. In such conditions, antifreeze (ethylene glycol) should be added to prevent ice formation.

The following table defines glycol percentages in relation to ambient temperature:

Minimum ambient temperature Ethylene glycol percentage

<5°C 10%
-5°C 15%
-10°C 20%
-15°C 30%
-20°C 35%

The following table defines glycol percentages in relation to internal fluid temperature:

Minimum delivery water temperature Ethylene glycol percentage


<5°C 10%
0°C 15%
-5°C 20%
-10°C 30%
-15°C 35%

WARNING: When calculating antifreeze quantities, it is recommended that the volume of the entire
hydraulic circuit be considered, hence pipes, system of use and storage tank.

WARNING: Fluid top-ups should only be carried out with water to prevent the glycol percentage from
rising uncontrollably. Should top-ups be frequent, check the actual water-glycol mixture percentage
with an appropriate instrument (glycol hydrometer or antifreeze tester).

WARNING: Maximum permitted glycol percentage 30%.

12.5 Refrigerant fluid and lubricating oil refill

No routine maintenance is required on the refrigerant fluid and lubricating oil. Replacing the refrigerant fluid and
lubricating oil is a special maintenance that may become necessary due to an undesired leak, pipe breakage or the
need to replace a damaged refrigeration compressor.

Refilling of refrigerant fluid is not permitted. The refrigerant charge should be replaced in full. This must be carried
out only after the entire cooling circuit has been evacuated. Refilling should be performed only after a perfect vacuum
has been achieved inside the cooling circuit. The refrigerant should be refilled from the canister in liquid form so as
not to alter its composition and from the low-pressure side of the cooling circuit.

WARNING: Use only new refrigerant fluid of the type and quantity shown on the unit nameplate.

13. DISMANTLING
The unit should be dismantled by companies duly authorized for the collection of obsolescent products/machines.

Before dismantling the system, the refrigerant fluid must be removed with the appropriate equipment. Ensure no
refrigerant fluid is released to the atmosphere.

To avoid any risk of environmental pollution, store refrigerant in appropriate containers which will then be disposed
of by authorized companies.

The compressor contains lubricating oil which should be collected and disposed of in accordance with current
legislation.

The unit may be disposed of without further precautions only after the refrigerant fluid and the lubricating oil have
been appropriately removed.

Collect components separately in accordance with current legislation: iron, aluminium, plastic, copper, steel, etc.

WARNING: Do not dispose of refrigerant to the atmosphere. Recovery, collection and storage should
be carried out by qualified personnel to ensure recycling, reconditioning or distribution in accordance
with legal provisions.

IMPORTANT: You are strongly advised to contact companies specializing in the collection, dismantling
and disposal of obsolete appliances.
