AFETY ULES 1.1 D EFINITIONS OF THE SYMBOLS USED Read this use and maintenance manual carefully before performing any repairs on the chiller. Warnings of a general character; risk of danger or possibility of damaging the machine, pay particular attention to the phrase following this symbol. Risk of electrical danger;...
This chiller has been carefully designed and constructed to be environmentally friendly: • Refrigerants without CFC; • Expanded foam insulation without CFC; • Energy-saving techniques; • Reduced noise; • The chiller and its packing materials are recyclable. In order not to hinder our efforts, the user is required to obey the simple ecological warnings indicated by this symbol.
NSTRUCTIONS FOR USING EQUIPMENT UNDER PRESSURE CONFORMING TO PED D 2014/68/EU IRECTIVE The proper use of equipment under pressure is an essential prerequisite for ensuring safety. To this end, the user must proceed as follows: • Use the equipment properly within the temperature limits shown in the opera ting limits stated on the manufacturer’s name/data plate;...
PERATION OMPONENTS 2.1 R EFRIGERANT CIRCUIT QBS chillers use a vapour-compression cycle in a refrigerant circuit that essentially consists of the following components: evaporator, compressor, condenser, lamination device (capillary tube). Evaporator: heat exchanger (tube and fins) to enable heat exchange between the water and the refrigerant liquid without them coming into contact with each other.
2.5 C ONTROL OF THE WATER TEMPERATURE The purpose of the chiller is to maintain the temperature of the water produced within a desired interval as the load on the system varies; this is handled by an electronic controller and a temperature probe that turn the compressors on and off appropriately (see also sections 5.3) .
2.8 S PARE PARTS Spare parts list is printed on a dedicated sticker applied inside the chiller. On this sticker each spare part is identified with its ID Number and related Spare Part Number. Here below the cross reference table between ID Number and exploded drawings Ref. With their description and quantity installed inside chillers.
NSTALLATION 3.1 T RANSPORT The units are supplied packed in a cardboard box on a wooden pallet. After checking that the packing is undamaged, position the unit near the installation site and unpack Always keep the chiller vertical: turning it upside down can irreparably damage several parts of the unit.
• The solidity of the support surface; • Avoid any obstacles to the flow of the fan which could cause the recirculation of air to the condenser; • Avoid the possible reflection of sound waves: (do not install in narrow or tight spaces); •...
We recommend an extraordinary cleaning of the mechanical water filter after the machine has been running for the first week (also see Chapter 8 Maintenance, inspections and periodic checks). Warning! No naked flames should be used during water connection operations, in the vicinity of or inside the unit.
Thermometer Mechanical filter System/unit discharge Pressure gauge 3.4.2 Use of ethylene glycol as a winter anti-freeze Instead of emptying the system in the winter, you can charge the syste m with a mixture of water and a suitable percentage of ethylene glycol, chosen as a function of the lowest expected temperature of the outside air.
3.5 E LECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The machine must be connected to the electricity following the electrical diagram and conforming to the current laws and regulations in the place of installation. • The voltage, frequency and number of phases must conform to the data shown on the machine's identification plate;...
RELIMINARY HECKS TART 4.1 P RELIMINARY CHECKS AND PREPARATION FOR THE FIRST START Before starting up the unit, it is a good idea to do the following: • Check that the water shut-off valves are open; • Verify the regular water level in the tank; Attention! Make sure that the tube that draws the inlet water to the pump is almost always fluid-filled.
– QBS LECTRONIC ONTROLLER STANDARD The QBS 001÷002 electronic controller: • Displays the temperature of the water exiting the water chiller; • Enables the required temperature of the chilled water to be set (set point); • Enables compressor activation and deactivation (standby); •...

5.6 L OCKING AND UNLOCKING THE KEYBOARD To lock the keyboard proceed as follow: • Make sure that the keyboard is not locked and that no procedure is in progress; • Do not operate for 60 seconds: the display will show the message for 1 second and the ”Loc”...
After setting the parameter, suspend power supply flow to the device. – QBS UTOADAPTIVE ONTROLLER WITH OPTION The QBS 001÷002 electronic controller: • Displays the temperature of the water exiting the water cooler; • Enables the required temperature of the chilled water to be set (set point); •...
6.3 C – S ONTROLLING WATER TEMPERATURE TANDARD SETTING The QBS’s electronic controller regulates the outlet water temperature in function of the ambient temperature. The working setpoint will be relative to the temperature read by probe or temperature read by probe 1 – working setpoint (without sign). 6.4 C HANGING THE SET POINT Make sure the keyboard is not locked and no procedure is running.
6.7 L OCKING NLOCKING THE KEYBOARD Make sure the keyboard is not locked and no procedure is running. • Press 2 seconds: the display will show 1 second. “Loc” If the keyboard is locked, you will not be allowed to: •...

Safety Devices QBS chillers have a series of safety devices that limit the machine's temperature and pressure values to ensure that it operates within the expected limits and to avoid dangerous situations. Here is a list of dangerous situations, including the relative safety devic e and its location. Dangerous situation Safety device Location...
6.2 R EARMING THE HIGH PRESSURE PRESSURE SWITCH The intervention of the high-pressure pressure switch is the only case in which, in addition to manually rearming the electronic controller, it is also necessary to reset the pr essure switch itself. The high-pressure pressure switch is located in the compressor compartment on the uninsulated copper pipe that goes from the compressors to the condensation coil;...
