11 - MAJOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS

11.1 - Compressors

61AF units use hermetic scroll compressors with vapour injection. 
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase oil heater, as
standard. Each compressor function is equipped with:
■ Anti-vibration mountings between the unit chassis and the
compressor(s).
■ A single pressure safety switch at the discharge.

11.2 - 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 may be 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. Use only oils which have been approved for the
compressors. Never use oils which have been exposed to air.
R-22 oils are absolutely not compatible with R-407C oils and
vice versa.

11.3 - Air evaporators

The 61AF coils are air evaporators with internally grooved copper
tubes with aluminium fins..

11.4 - Fans

Axial Flying Bird fans equipped with a rotating shroud and made of
composite recyclable material. The motors are three-phase, with
permanently lubricated bearings and insulation class F. See table
below.
According to the Regulation No. 327/2011 implementing Directive
2009/125/EC with regard to ecodesign requirements for fans driven
by motors with an electric input power between 125 W and 500 kW.

11.5 - Electronic expansion valve (EXV) of the main
circuit
The EXV is equipped with a stepper motor that is con-trolled via
the EXV board.
11.6 - Electronic expansion valve (EXV) of the
economised circuit
The EXV is equipped with a stepper motor that is con-trolled via
the EXV board

11.7 - Four-way valve

The four-way valve allows the reversal of the refrigerant cycle,
required during the unit defrost phases.

11.8 - 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.

11.9 - Filter drier

One-piece, brazed filter drier, located in the liquid line. The filter 
drier keeps the circuit clean and moisture-free. The moisture
indicator shows when the filter drier to be changed. A difference 
in temperature between the filter inlet and outlet shows that the 
element is dirty.
