the working hours in excess of what is considered normal for the specific technology of the machine, i.e. 18 hours per

week for domestic use and 40 hours per week for industrial use, over a total of 52 weeks per year.

During the warranty period, parts being recognised as faulty due to poor quality materials or defect in manufacture shall

either be replaced, repaired or put back in operation, provided the faults are not due to the user’s negligence or

carelessness, or to an insufficient servicing of the equipment, damages caused by third parties, accidental damages,

galvanic or chemical actions, technological processes used by the DISTRIBUTOR or to any other cause not due to defects

in the manufacturing quality.

When necessary, replacing spare parts will be arranged as soon as possible in EUROKLIMAT premises (27010 Siziano-

Italy). EUROKLIMAT keeps the right to ask the DISTRIBUTOR for sending back the faulty parts for analysis. If the

inspection’s result shows the defect has been caused by not proper installation or use or the defects do not depend on

any reason beyond EUROKLIMAT’s control, the DISTRIBUTROR will be charged for the relevant costs.

The expenses (fees, travel, reimbursements) for the personnel that needs to be sent on the spot to discover the

problems, or to repair or replace faulty parts, shall be borne by the DISTRIBUTOR, with no exception. Parts subject to

normal wear are not covered by the warranty, as are all electrical materials if they are subject, even for a short period, to:

overload, unbalanced feeding, frequency different from the one resulting from the plate, wrong voltage. Furthermore,

the warranty does not cover damages caused to engines by overload, even for short periods, or by other problems due to

not tightening the terminals.

The warranty automatically expires if the equipment is repaired or modified by the DISTRIBUTOR or by third parties

without a written consent of EUROKLIMAT, or if non original spare parts have been used. Equipment shall be repaired by

specialised personnel appointed by EUROKLIMAT who, by filing in a specific form, shall validate the warranty. The above

terms are subject to the DISTRIBUTOR fulfilling all obligations arising from the Contract, specifically those with regards to

payments.

Transportation and handling

The courier is always liable for any damage during transit to the goods that have been entrusted to the same.

Before preparing the unit for installation and commissioning, a thorough visual inspection must therefore be

carried out to check that the packaging is intact and that the unit presents no visible damage nor oil or refrigerant

leak. Also ensure that the units correspond to the order that was placed.

Any damage or complaints should be reported to Euroklimat and to the carrier by recorded delivery letter within 8

days from receiving the goods.

Should one or more components be damaged, do not proceed with starting up the unit and inform Euroklimat of

the problem, agreeing with the latter the actions to be taken.

Preferably remove the packaging at the actual place of installation.

Internal handling must be carried out with the utmost care, without using unit components as handholds. To avoid

damage it is essential when moving the units that they always remain in the position envisaged for their operation.

Do not leave packaged units in places exposed to strong sunlight, since the internal temperature could reach safety

device tripping values.

The water circuit must be fully drained before handling the unit in any way whatsoever.

Lifting should preferably be carried out with a lift truck. Use a spreader beam if belts or ropes are used for slinging,

making sure that there is no pressure on the upper edges of the units or the packaging.

Example of lifting with a lift truck:

Insert protection for the outer structure of the unit, for example a sheet of cardboard or polystyrene (A).

Make sure that the forks of the lift truck project at least 100 mm (B) from the other side of the unit.

Unit positioning

The customer should check that the strength of the supporting surface is suitable for the weight of the unit.

It is unnecessary to fix the unit to the floor for correct operation.

If the floor is rough, to ensure a level surface and prevent even the smallest of vibrations, it is advisable to insert a

continuous rubber sheet the same size as the base supports.

It is also advisable to make sure the unit is level. Should this be impossible or difficult to accomplish, the unit must not tilt

more than 0.5°.

For a correct operation and for maintenance interventions respect the free space around

the unit (see figure).

WARNING:

The gas content into the R290 is flammable.

The chiller should be installed only outside and away

from any heat source and sunlight protected.

Max Temp = +45.0 ° C (storage)

Max Temp = +40.0 ° C (operating)

Description of operation of the machine

Liquid chillers of the series "EKE-R290" are designed to meet the needs of air conditioning systems or industrial

processes, requiring the production of chilled water.

The variety of models and power, can cover a wide range of applications.

The production of cold water occurs through the refrigerant cycle, as shown in the following diagram:

The refrigeration system consists of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator.

The use of the suction gas heat exchanger (SGHX) is a special feature of EKE-R290 EUROKLIMAT range.

Description of cycle process

The suction gas (1) is compressed and discharged into

the discharge line (2). The discharge line leads the

refrigerant to the inlet of the condenser (3). The

condensed and subcooled refrigerant in the

condenser outlet (4) is either lead to the liquid inlet of

the suction gas heat exchanger (SGHX). The exit

condition (5) will be different from condition (4). From

the expansion valve outlet (6) the refrigerant is lead

to the evaporator. The evaporated and superheated

refrigerant in the evaporator outlet (7) is lead through

the suction line, either to the gas side inlet of the

SGHX, if this has been selected, or to the compressor

inlet (1). Thanks to SGHX the exit condition (8) will be

different from condition (1).

In the suction line the gas may experience both a

pressure drop and a temperature increase. In the

discharge line the gas may experience a pressure drop

only.

Safety valves installation

All the units are fitted with a safety valve on the water side. The purpose of this valve is to drain to the outside through a

pipe. It is therefore advisable to connect the valve to a pipe of at least the same diameter in order to convey any

discharge from the valve to the outside. This pipe must be located so that the discharge can cause no damage to property

or injury to persons. The pipe must also be suitably supported so that it does not weigh on the valve.

The installation must be in conformity with current safety regulations.

If units are not used during the winter, fully drain the water system of all units installed outdoors. If operation is

envisaged also in this period or in any case with low ambient temperatures, antifreeze mixtures must be used.

With indoor installations, drainage is in any case necessary when the room temperature falls to below 0°C.

For installation diagrams, refer to the examples given in the section “Installation”.

Always fit ball shutoff valves on the water inlet and outlet.

If it is possible that the water may be dirty, also install a “Y” filter on the water inlet.

For more information please contact the After Sales Department of Euroklimat S.p.A..

If the USER needs to disassemble some parts for which the procedure is not given in this manual, it is

indispensable to request permission and the relevant procedure from “Euroklimat”.

Any assembly/disassembly carried out by the USER that is not contemplated in this manual or authorised by

“Euroklimat”, will be considered as tampering, thereby jeopardising the safety functions and invalidating the warranty of

the unit.

During construction of the unit all necessary measures are taken to ensure cleanliness in all the parts. After installation,

clean the unit removing the protective substances. Use soft cloths and harmless detergent substances for cleaning, which

do not damage the surfaces.

The unit is always tested and inspected in the factory prior to delivery and requires no further controls.

Start-up procedure

Filling the water circuit Authorised personnel: Maintenance mechanic

Before to start up the unit it’s necessary to fill the water circuit

Water / mixture temperature for filling = MAX. 25°C

Open the air valve (and connect it to a drainage well using a plastic hose) so that any air present in the circuit will be

discharged during filling, which will consequently be quicker. Take care that any water that sprays out when the circuit

has been filled does not create a hazardous situation. If there are any points in the system circuit higher than the unit air

valve, another air valve, if possible automatic, must be inserted at the highest point to ensure complete filling of the

circuit.

- Connect the unit water outlet tap to the mains water system.

- Open the mains water supply to fill the circuit.

- When water comes out of the hose connected to the air valve, the circuit has been filled.

CAUTION

Once the system has been filled and after having made the pump circulate

for some time, check for residual air. If there is still air present, the circuit

must be bled and filled up with the missing water. With the system

inoperative, it is also necessary to ensure that the pressure in the circuit is

only just above zero. This indication is visible through the pressure gauge

mounted on the unit.

Warning: WHEN THE FILLING IS FINISHED YOU HAVE TO CLOSE THE WATER

DRAIN TO AVOID THAT THE PRESSURE IN THE CIRCUIT INCREASES.

(Not for versions with closed vessel, which is equipped with pressure reducing

valve).

Filling with antifreeze mixture

If it is necessary to use antifreeze mixtures, filling must be carried out with a solution prepared according to the water

temperature:

Mixture / Outside

temperature % ethylene glycol

+20 °C -

+15 °C -

+10 °C 5% (suggested)

+5 °C 10%

0 °C 15%

-5 °C 25%

-10°C 30%

If a ready solution is unavailable, it must be prepared in a container to be connected to the unit water outlet, as

described above. Closed or open tank filling kits are available on request by the customer.

For more information please contact the After Sales Department of Euroklimat S.p.A..

STARTING AND USE

The professionals involved in this

section are:

The Operator, who must always

operate with the fixed guards

correctly mounted and check that

under no circumstances have they

been tampered with.

The Maintenance men, who must

always operate with the unit at a

standstill and after having carried

out the required operations, check

that all the protective devices are

correctly remounted, closed and

in proper working order.

The Safety officer, who must

check that the Operator and the

Maintenance men have received

all the necessary information as

per this manual. He will check in

particular that all the fixed guards

have been correctly mounted, are

in proper working order and have

not been tampered with.

Unit control devices

Door interlock

Microprocessor for unit start and

control

Compressor ON/OFF switch

1. Check the compressor ON/OFF switch is off (position “0”).

2. Turn the door interlock in position “1” (ON).

Warning

When switching on for the first time, the oil must be preheated in the models indicated in

the table. This requirement is also identified on the unit by the following plate. The

procedure is carried out when starting the unit for the first time and whenever the unit

has been switched off by means of the power on/off switch for longer than 4 hours. Do not

proceed with other operations until this procedure has been completed, otherwise the

compressors could be damaged.

Euroklimat S.p.A. declines every responsibility for eventual damages that can directly or

indirectly derive to persons or things in consequence to the lacked observance the

present instructions.

[25]

Put to ON. On the microprocessor, press the button for 5 seconds.

The water pump (if present) starts.

When starting for the first time, check the correct direction of rotation of the

pump. To do this, close the ball valve fitted at the unit water inlet and outlet,

as described in the paragraph “water connections”.

Fully open the by-pass. Using the pressure gauge on the unit check that the

circuit is pressurised. If it is not, switch off the unit using the power on/off

switch and invert the connection phases at the on/off switch input, paying

attention to the possible presence of current. Then check the working

pressure with the pressure gauge on the unit.

Make sure that there are no automatic valves, which could reduce the flow,

and that the circuit shutoff valves are fully open. Use the handle of the by-pass

valve to adjust the pressure until the liquid pressure gauge indicator is in the

appropriate sector.

This sector is specific for each type of pump (standard or uprated) and for each

model. The table below indicates the operating range for each combination.

COOLING mode

If the temperature of the water (see value of the display) is lower than r01 (Summer/cooling set point) value (default is

7.0°C), the compressor is OFF.

The water pump (if present) runs.

If the temperature of the water (see value of the display) is higher than r01 + r02 (differential) value (default is 3.0°C), the

compressor is ON and the cooling starts and runs valore di set point r01.

FOR SET POINT MODIFICATION (r01 and/or r03) SEE CHAPTER “CONTROL PANEL”

Check of cooling

The chiller normally works with a difference of approx. 5° between the evaporator water inlet and outlet (with by-pass

valve closed), which may be checked with contact thermometers.

Check for any alarm warnings.

Checking the safety devices

The unit, connected as described in the section “Commissioning” under the paragraph “Connection of Safety Devices”,

must guarantee safety functions in an emergency. The emergency stop button must therefore be pressed to check that

all the motors stop. If operation is correct, reset the emergency button and continue with the switching on procedure as

described previously.

Compressor START/STOP

This switch is used to cut out compressor operation and allow the unit to work with the pump only whenever working

conditions so require.

Under normal working conditions compressor starting and stopping is automatic and is controlled entirely by the

microprocessor.

Position “0”: Compressor off

Position “1”: Compressor on

The unit is equipped with a safety that doesn’t permit more than 1 (one) START/STOP every 3 minutes from the first.

[27]

Standby

Press button for 5 seconds.

Since the compressor and the pump are timed and work together, before stopping they finish the cycle in

progress. A certain interval may therefore be necessary before the unit comes to a total stop. In this condition

the unit is in stand-by and may be restarted by just pressing the button for 5 seconds.

During stand-by preheating of the oil is unnecessary.

Switching off

This operation should always be carried out after having put the unit in stand-by and after all the components have come

to a stop.

Put the door interlock switch to OFF.

If the unit has been at a standstill for more than 4 hours, before restarting the oil must be preheated.

Periodical checks and servicing

WARNING:

The refrigerant R290 (Propane) is

flammable and it must be handled only by

competent and responsible

operators, under the conditions specified

in the safety regulations in force.

Semi-hermetic compressor maintenance

The periodical working pressure and lubricant level check are sufficient

warranty for a long compressor operative life and for the reliability of the

declared performances.

The requested maintenance interventions are:

- lubricant replacement after approx. 100 working hours from the

initial compressor start to remove impurities remained in the

system and collected in the crankcase from refrigerant and

lubricant flow.

- lubricant charge replacement each 10000 working hours to grant

the original viscosity characteristics.

All lubricant replacement operations have to be executed when the compressor is at standstill.

For lubricant replacement are required instruments that are part of the normal equipment of each refrigerator

technician; the necessary instruments to execute the ordinary maintenance operations are:

- vacuum pump

- lubricant hand pump

- flexible hoses with swivel connections and valve opener

- ratchet wrench for square stems

� With working compressor, close the suction valve; when the suction pressure reduces at 0.1÷0.2 bar, switch off

the compressor.

CAUTION: Do not loose any compressor bolt or closing plug

� close the discharge valve

� remove, slowly, discharge valve plug

� remove the oil discharge plug (ref.6, see drawings on catalogue) and let flow all the lubricant in a suitable

package.

Do not pollute the environment with lubricant; it is a special waste and it has therefore to be

carried off as per the regulations in force.

� screw and close well the oil discharge plug and discharge valve plug

� remove the oil charge plug (ref.3, see drawings on catalogue), applying at its place a Schrader service valve

� remove the protection cap from the service valve and connect the lubricant hand pump discharge

� connect the hand pump suction to the lubricant package

� by acting the hand pump, introduce the right oil quantity in the compressor crankcase

� remove the hand pump from the service valve

� connect the vacuum pump suction line to the Schrader service valve

� start the vacuum pump and evacuate the compressor for at least 15 minutes

� disconnect the pump from the service valve and switch off

� screw the protection cap to the service valve

� open the compressor discharge and suction valves

CAUTION

Failure to open the valve before starting, will cause many damages both to compressor

and possibly to operator.

� start the compressor

� after 15 ÷ 20 working minutes, check the lubricant level

The level at which the lubricant settles during

compressor working is highly influenced by the

discharge ratio and therefore by the working

temperatures. Considering that the acceptable

minimum level is 1/4 of oil sight glass, the maximum

level has not to be higher than 3/4 of the sight glass, as

illustrated in figure behind.

Oil Type

Mineral oil SFR68S

Checking the condensing coil

Authorised personnel: maintenance mechanic

Frequency: once a month

Checks:

visually check from outside the unit if there is any dirt, such as paper, dry leaves or simply dust, on the coil. The presence

of such deposits causes a reduction in the air flow with a consequent reduction of efficiency and the possibility that the

high pressure switch could trip resulting in the unit stopping.
