REFRIgERANT USED: We recommend that you consult your appropriate national • This product contains fluorinated greenhouse gas trade association or the owner of the equipment or compo- covered by the Kyoto protocol.
1.4 - Repair safety considerations Avoid spilling liquid refrigerant on skin or splashing it into the eyes. Use safety goggles and safety gloves. Wash All installation parts must be maintained by the personnel in any spills from the skin with soap and water. If liquid charge, in order to avoid material deterioration and injuries refrigerant enters the eyes, immediately and abundantly to people.
2.2 - Moving and siting the unit Use only original replacement parts for any repair or compo- nent replacement. Consult the list of replacement parts that corresponds to the specification of the original equipment. 2.2.1 - moving Do not drain water circuits containing industrial brines, See chapter 1.1 - “Installation safety considerations”.

The chillers maintain a constant leaving water temperature under all flow conditions. For this to happen, the minimum flow rate must be higher than the minimum flow given in the table of permissible flow rates and must not vary by more than 10% per minute.
