9.9.7 CHARGING THE CIRCUIT WITH REFRIGERANT
WARNING!
Cooling circuit recharging operations need to be carried out with the unit running. Make sure
that the electrical connections are correct.
Always charge the refrigerant in its liquid state. Make sure that the connections between
pipes and cylinder are always set up correctly.
Before charging the circuit, check that the refrigerant cylinder is equipped with a dip tube
for the liquid refrigerant.
Equipped with dip tube Not equipped with dip tube
Charge the liquid refrigerant
with the cylinder in the up-
right position.
Charge the liquid refrigerant
with the cylinder in the upside
down position.
RISK OF BURNS!
Some parts of the cooling circuit may be hot!
It is recommended to perform refrigerant charge operations with ambient temperature within the unit's operating limits. A
lower or higher temperature may compromise the actual circuit charge.
In order to charge completely proceed as follows (keeping in mind that the refrigerant must always be charged in liquid
phase):
1) Make sure that circuit cocks are completely opened.
2) Check that the pressure gauges are compatible with the pressure of the refrigerant used (R410a).
3) Connect the pressure gauges to the cooling circuit as shown in the picture.
4) Check that the refrigerant tank is the type of refrigerant used (R410a).
5) Place the refrigerant tank on the calibrated scales.
6) Connect the refrigerant tank to the pressure gauge unit.
7) Place the pressure gauge in "Charge" position.
8) Open the HIGH PRESSURE SIDE lling valve to insert refrigerant until it approximately reaches 2/3 of the calculated quantity.
9) Open the recharging valve on the LOW PRESSURE SIDE, adding enough refrigerant to eliminate the empty condition.
10) Load any amount of top up oil through the provided valve placed on the compressor.
11) Feed the unit and wait for a few minutes.
12) Place the unit on ON, starting up the fans.
13) Start the compressor, being especially careful with double circuit units.
14) Verify overheating and operational parameters in order to evaluate the charge.
15) Calibrate the remote condenser speed variator to the temperature of required condensation.
16) Open the recharge valve on the LOW PRESSURE SIDE to integrate small amounts of refrigerant to full the correct operating
values.
