1 THE SERIES Fluid chillers and heat pumps designed to cool water or mixtures of water and an antifreeze agent, intended for civil air conditioning and industrial cooling systems. LCP chillers, available in versions with different acoustic designs (“S”, “L”) and cooling circuit architectures (Efficiency pack 1, 4), cover a range of cooling capacities from 51.4 to 318.1 kW, calculated with reference to standard conditions.

The possible operations are: Summer Mode: a) Cooling Only (represented on following page): the system produces cold water on circuit "1" with the heat exchanger "S1" and the heat removed, together with the power absorbed by the compressors, is dispersed into the outdoor air by means of finned coils (S3) which act as condensers.

Therefore, only qualified personnel may perform any kind of work on the unit. THE UNIT MUST BE STARTED UP FOR THE FIRST TIME EXCLUSIVELY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL AUTHORISED BY GALLETTI S.P.A. (SEE ATTACHMENT). AILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE RULES PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL OR ANY MODIFICATION MADE...
Check, in particular, that the fins of the finned block heat exchangers are not bent and have not undergone impacts that may have impaired the system's tightness under pressure. Galletti S.p.A. or its Agent must be promptly notified of the entity of the damage. The Customer must submit a written report describing every significant sign of damage.
- possible reverberation of sound waves. All models belonging to the LCP series are designed and built for outdoor installation: avoid covering them with roof structures or positioning them near plants (even if they only partly cover the unit) which may interfere with the regular ventilation of the unit condenser.
5 INSTALLATION INSTALLATION CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS It is of fundamental importance to ensure an adequate volume of air both on the intake and outlet sides of the finned condenser/evaporator coils; it is highly important to prevent the air delivered from being re- aspirated as this may impair the performance of the unit or even cause an interruption in normal operation.
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).
WATER CONNECTION TO THE EVAPORATOR It is of fundamental importance that the incoming water supply is hooked up to the connection marked “Water Inlet”. Otherwise the evaporator would be exposed to the risk of freezing since the antifreeze thermostat would not be able to perform its function;...
A standard feature of LCP units is a device for controlling the flow rate (vane operated flow switch) in the water circuit in the immediate vicinity of the evaporator. Any tampering with said device will immediately invalidate the warranty. It is compulsory to install a metal filter with a mesh smaller less 1mm on the inlet water pipe.
6 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 is made by means of a three-core cable plus neutral and earth cable or single- core cables (one per phase) + earth according to the minimum cross section sizes specified in the wiring diagram, which is an integral part of the documentation accompanying the chiller;...
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OF WATER VANE OPERATED FLOW SWITCH Available for all LCP units is an additional vane operating flow switch installed in series with the water and electrical circuits and wired in the unit configuration. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS OF THE CIRCULATION PUMP If selected on ordering, it/they is/are supplied pre-wired with all LCP units.
7 STARTING UP PRELIMINARY CHECKS Check that all the valves in the cooling circuit are open (liquid line). Check that the electrical connections have been made properly and that all the terminals are securely tightened. This check should also be included in a periodic six-month inspection. Check that the voltage at the RST terminals is 400 V ±...
Pressure crankcase Oil T % of R410A dissolved in oil The diagram above illustrates a specific property [Charles’ Law] of gases, which are more soluble in liquids as the pressure increases but less soluble as the temperature increases: if the oil is held at a constant pressure: an increase in temperature will significantly reduce the amount of refrigerant dissolved in it, thus ensuring that the lubricating function desired is maintained.
CHECKS DURING OPERATION - Check the phase sequence relay on the electrical control board to verify whether the phases occur in the correct sequence: if they do not, disconnect the unit from power supply and reverse two phases at the unit input. Never attempt to modify internal electrical connections: any undue modifications will render the warranty null and void.
Warning: the refrigerant R410A requires “POE” polyolester oil of a type approved by the compressor manufacturer. For no reason should a mineral oil be introduced into the oil circuit.

The units are designed and built to work with outdoor air temperatures ranging from -10 (with condensation control) to 45 °C. Applications outside the specified limits may be authorised by Galletti S.p.A. subject to verification and subsequent authorisation in writing. On request, the units may be equipped with an electric heating element for heating the evaporator in cases where the unit is exposed to severe temperatures during wintertime shutdown periods.

ANTIFREEZE THERMOSTAT The antifreeze sensor situated at the evaporator outlet detects the presence of excessively low temperatures and stops the unit. Together with the flow switch and low pressure switch, this device protects the evaporator from the risk of freezing as a result of faults in the water circuit. This device is a function included in the microprocessor control.
Check that the noise emissions of the unit are regular (every 6 months) and more specifically that no vibrations and/or knocking can be detected. Galletti S.p.A.. is not responsible for inexact translations of the manual in languages other than English.
Do not use oxygen in the place of nitrogen as a test agent, since this could cause a risk of explosion as well as the certainty of extensive oxidisation in high-temperature areas. 10.5 HARD VACUUM AND DRYING OF THE COOLING CIRCUIT To achieve a hard vacuum in the cooling circuit it is necessary to use a pump capable of generating a high degree of vacuum, i.e.
10.7 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The law implementing the regulations [reg. EEC 2037/00] which govern the use of ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gases bans the dispersal of refrigerant gases in the environment and requires whoever is in their possession to recover them and, at the end of their useful life, either to return them to the dealer or take them to a suitable waste disposal facility.
12 TROUBLESHOOTING On the next pages you will find a list of the most common causes that may cause the chilling unit to fail or malfunction. These causes are broken down according to easily identifiable symptoms. You should be extremely careful when attempting to implement any of the possible remedies suggested: overconfidence can result in injuries, even serious ones, to inexpert individuals.
