15 - MajOR SYSTEM COMpONENTS

15.1 - Compressors

30RQS/RQSY units use hermetic scroll compressors. Each
compressor is equipped with a crankcase oil heater, as
standard.
Each compressor sub-function is equipped with:
Anti-vibration mountings between the unit chassis
and the chassis of the compressor sub-function.
A single pressure safety switch at the discharge.

15.2 - lubricant

The compressors installed in these units have a specific oil
charge, indicated on the name plate of each compressor.
The oil level check must be done with the unit switched off,
when then suction and discharge pressures are equalised. The
oil level must be visible and above the middle of the sight-
glass in the oil equalisation line. If this is not the case, there
is an oil leak in the circuit. Search and repair the leak, then
recharge oil, so that it reaches a level between the middle
and three quarters of the sight-glass (unit in vacuum).
ATTENTION: Too much oil in the circuit can cause a
unit defect. r-22 oils are absolutely not compatible with
r-410A oils and vice versa.
NOTE: use only oils which have been approved for the
compressors. Never use oils which have been exposed to air.

15.3 - air evaporator/condenser

The 30RQS/RQSY coils are heat exchangers with internally
grooved copper tubes with aluminium fins. To prevent ice
formation at the bottom of the coils, electric heaters are
installed under the sheet metal base. They are switched on,
based on the outside temperature.

15.4 - fans

The fans are axial Flying Bird fans equipped with rotating
shroud and made of composite recyclable material. The
motors are three-phase, with permanently lubricated
bearings and insulation class F. See table below.

15.5 - Electronic expansion valve (EXv)

The EXV is equipped with a stepper motor (2625 + 160 /- 0
steps) that is controlled via the EXV board.

15.6 - Moisture indicator

Located on the liquid line, permits control of the unit charge
and indicates moisture in the circuit. The presence of
bubbles in the sight-glass indicates an insufficient charge or
non-condensables in the system. The presence of moisture
changes the colour of the indicator paper in the sight-glass.

15.7 - filter drier

This is a one-piece, brazed filter drier, located in the liquid
line. The role of the filter drier is to keep the circuit clean
and moisture-free. The moisture indicator shows when it is
necessary to change the filter drier. The filter drier is a bi-flow
device, that means that it filters and dehydrates in both
operating modes. The pressure drop is much higher in the
heating mode. A difference in temperature between the
filter inlet and outlet shows that the element is dirty.
