    LCW - LCR Unpacking The packing must be carefully removed to avoid the risk of damaging the unit. Different packing materials are used: wood, cardboard, nylon etc. It is recommended to keep them separately and deliver them to suitable waste disposal or recycling facilities in order to minimise their environmental impact.
  • Page 14 LCW - LCR General Guidelines for Plumbing Connections When you are getting ready to set up the water circuit for the evaporator you should follow the directions below and in any case make sure you comply with national or local regulations (use the diagrams included in this manual as your reference).
  • Page 15 LCW - LCR The compressors work intermittently, since the chilling requirements of the user generally do not coincide with the compressor output. In systems containing little water, where the thermal inertia of the water is lower, it is a good idea to check that the water content in the section delivering to users satisfies the condition below: τ...
  • Page 16 LCW - LCR A standard feature of LCW units is a device for controlling the flow rate (flow switch or differential pressure switch) in the water circuit in the immediate vicinity of the evaporator. Any tampering with said device will immediately invalidate the warranty. It is OBLIGATORY to install a metal mesh filter on the inlet water pipe.
  • Page 17 LCW - LCR Note: Only qualified personnel may choose and install the piping and carry out the final braze-welding operations, as per current laws and regulations. Said personnel must issue a new declaration of conformity for units assembled on site. RG66001652_REV.02...

  • Page 19 LCW - LCR Evacuation and charging operations for LCR-type units This type of work must be carried out by qualified personnel trained to do their job in observance of current laws and regulations 1. Introduction: The simultaneous presence of liquid and vapour makes it necessary for both to be in a state of saturation [ Gibbs law ], as shown in fig.
  • Page 20 LCW - LCR 2. Vacuum and charging machine Tank Charging gun Cock Fig. 2 Solenoid valve Charging machine Charging piston Volumetric Flow Rate Gauge The charging piston compresses the refrigerant to a max P of 20 bar-r, thus favouring the re-condensation of any flash vapour that may have formed during transit through the line between the tank -cylinder: consider fig.
  • Page 21 LCW - LCR 3. Vacuum cycle In general it is preferable to apply a “long” rather than “hard” vacuum: reaching low pressures too abruptly may in fact cause any trapped humidity to evaporate instantaneously, thereby freezing part of it. Fig. 3 P [Pa] 200 s Time...
  • Page 22 LCW - LCR The best position for charging the air conditioners is the section between the thermostatic valve and the evaporator; care should be taken to avoid fixing the thermostat bulb until the operation is complete. This is important to ensure that the valve orifice remains open so as to allow the passage of refrigerant also toward the condenser/receiver.
  • Page 23: Electrical Connections

    LCW - LCR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS GENERALITIES Before carrying out any job on electrical parts, make sure the power supply is disconnected. Check that the mains electricity supply is compatible with the specifications (voltage, number of phases, frequency) shown on the unit rating plate. The power connection for single-phase loads is to be made with a three-pole cable and “N”...
  • Page 24 LCW - LCR Remote controls If you wish to include a remote control for switching the unit on and off, you must remove the bridge between the contacts indicated in the wiring diagram and connect the remote ON/OFF control to the terminals themselves [see annexed wiring diagram], then enable the "REMOTE"...

    LCW - LCR STARTING OPERATION Before starting the unit, turn the main switch on, select the operating mode desired from the control panel and press the "ON" button on the control panel. The unit will start up if enabled: - by the safety devices of the water circulation pump/s - by the flow switch (or differential pressure switch) - by the T sensor measuring the temperature of the water returning from the system [chiller inlet] - and no alarms have been triggered...

    LCW - LCR 2) read the temperature indicated on the scale of a pressure gauge connected to the liquid inlet at the condenser outlet; refer to the pressure gauge scale for the refrigerant R407C, marked with the initials B.P. (Bubble Point). The degree of undercooling is given by the difference between the temperatures thus determined.
  • Page 28: Operating Limits

    Operating limits of LCW chillers in relation to the outlet water temperature and water dew point. Applications with water T above the specified limits require the use of R134a refrigerant fluid. For details please contact the local Galletti dealer. Cooling only Units...

    LCW - LCR Glycol solutions It is possible to produce water at temperatures below 5°C and as low as -10°C using glycol solutions that lower the freezing point according to the following table: Minimum temperature of water produced 5 °C 2°C -1 °C -5°C...
  • Page 30 LCW - LCR SETTING OPERATING PARAMETERS GENERALITIES All the control devices are set and tested in the factory before the unit is dispatched. However, after the unit has been in service for a reasonable period of time you can perform a check on the operating and safety devices.
  • Page 31 LCW - LCR MAXIMUM PRESSURE SWITCH The high pressure switch stops the compressor when the outlet pressure exceeds the set value. Warning: do not attempt to change the setting of the maximum pressure switch. Should the latter fail to trip in the event of a pressure increase, the pressure relief valve will open.
  • Page 32: Maintenance

    LCW - LCR MAINTENANCE The only tasks to be performed by the end user are turning the chillers on and off and switching them between the cooling and heating functions as the seasons change. All other operations are to be considered maintenance work and must thus be carried out by qualified personnel trained to do their job in observance of current laws and regulations.

    LCW - LCR Tightness test Fill the circuit with anhydrous nitrogen supplied from a tank with a pressure-reducing valve until the pressure rises to 22 bars. During the pressurisation phase, do not exceed a pressure of 22 bars-r on the low pressure side The presence of any leaks must be determined using special leak detectors.
