In economised units, before expansion, a portion of liquid is spilled from the soobcooled condensate, expanded to an intermediate pressure and than flows trough an heat exchanger where, on the other side, flows t he remaining part of liquid. In this way the soobcooling on the liquid is increased and a small amount of vapour at intermediate value is produced and injected in the compressor economiser port, so increasing compressor efficiency (reducing discharge superheat).
ERAD E-SS/SL ERAD E-SS/SL units (Condensing Units) refrigerant cycle is identical to EWAD E-SS/SL refrigerant cycle except they are without evaporator, expansoion valve and low pressure safety valve. Units are designed to be used with external evaporator either for chilling water or air. Typical, but not exhaustive, use is for custom-made evaporator for process cooling and air-handling unit application.
Description of the chilling cycle with heat recovery With reference to stardard refrigerante cycle (both for chiller and condensing units), the high pressure refrigerant that has been separated from the oil, before reaching the condenser coil, flows trough the recovery heat eexchanger, where it dissipates the heat (from gas de-superheating and partial condensation) , warming the water which travels through the exchanger.
Compressor The single-screw compressor is of the semi-hermetic type with asynchronous three-phase two-pole engine which is directly splined to the main shaft. The intake gas from the evaporator cools the electrical engine before entering the intake ports. Inside the electrical engine, there are temperature sensors completely covered by the coil winding that constantly monitor engine temperature.

Cooling capacity control The compressors are factory-equipped with a stepless cooling capacity control system. Unloading slides reduces the groove’s intake capacity and reduces its actual length. Unloading slides are controlled by the pressure of the oil coming from the separator or drained towards the compressor suction;...
Pre-startup checks General Once the machine has been installed, use the following procedure to check that is has been done properly: ATTENTION Switch off the power supply of the machine before performing any checks. Failure to respect these rules at this stage can result in serious injury to the operator or even death. Inspect all the electrical connections to the power circuits and to the compressors including the contactors , fuse carriers and electrical terminals and check that they are clean and well secured.
IMPORTANT Before placing the machine into operation, clean the hydraulic circuit. Dirt, incrustation, corrosion residue and other extraneous material can accumulate in the heat exchanger and reduce its thermal exchange capacity. Pressure drops can also increase, consequently reducing water flow. Thus, correct water treatment reduces the risk of corrosion, erosion, scaling, etc.
100 _____ Unbalance %: AVG = Average Example: the three phases measure respectively 383, 386 and 392 Volts, the average is: 383+386+392 387 Volts thus the unbalance percentage is below the maximum allowed (3%) Electrical heater power supply Each compressor comes with an electrical heater located at the bottom of the compressor.
Startup procedure Turning on the machine With the general switch Q10 closed, check that switches Q0, Q1 and Q12 are in the Off (or 0) positione. Close the thermal-magnetic switch Q12 and wait for the microprocessor and the control to start. Check that the oil temperature is warm enough.
IMPORTANT If the machine is not supplied with an onboard built-in pump, do not shut down the external pump before 3 minutes have elapsed after the last compressor has shut down. Early shutdown of the pump triggers a water-flow failure alarm. Seasonal shutdown Turn switch Q1 to the Off (or 0) position to shut down the compressors, using the normal pumpdown procedure.
System maintenance WARNING All routine and extraordinary maintenance activities on the machine must be carried out solely by qualified personnel who is personally familiar with the apparatus, with its functioning, with the correct servicing procedures and who know all the safety requirements and are aware of the dangers.
Lubrication McEnergy units do not require a routine procedure for lubrication of components. The venti lator bearings have permanent lubrication and no additional lubrication is therefore required. Compressor oil is of the synthetic type and is highly hygroscopic. It is therefore advised to limit its exposition to the atmosphere during the storage and loading phases.
Routine maintenance Table 26 - Routine maintenance programme List of Activities Weekly Monthly Yearly (Note 1) (Note 2) General: Collection of operating data (Note 3) Visual inspection of machine for any damage and/or loosening Verification of thermal insulation integrity Clean and paint where necessary Analysis of water (6) Electrical: Verification of control sequence...
Shut down the relevant compressor by turning the Q1 or Q2 switch to Off Wait until the compressor has stopped and close the tap located on the liquid line Start the relevant compressor by turning the Q1 or Q2 switch to On. Check the relevant evaporation pressure on the microprocessor display.
Connect the recuperator to the compressor and recover the refrigerant in a suitable and clean storage container. Evacuate the refrigerant until the internal pressure has turned negative (compared to atmospheric pressure). The amount of refrigerant dissolved in the oil is reduced to a minimum in this way. Remove the oil in the compressor by opening the discharge valve located under the motor Remove the oil filter cover and remove the internal filtering element.
If the refrigerant level is slightly low, the passage of bubbles can be seen through the liquid pilot lamp. Replenish the circuit as described in the replenishment procedure. If the gas level in the machine is moderately low, the corresponding circuit could have some low -pressure stops. Replenish the corresponding circuit as described in the replenishment procedure.
Standard Checks Temperature and Pressure Transducers The unit comes factory-equipped with all the sensors listed below. Periodically check that their measurements are correct by means of sample instruments (manometers, thermometers); correct readings if necessary using the microprocessor keyboard. Well-calibrated sensors ensure better efficiency for the machine and a longer lifetime. Note: refer to the microprocessor use and maintenance manual for a complete description of applications, setting and adjustments.
Test sheet It is recommended that the following operation data are noted periodically in order to check that the machine is functioning properly over time. These data will also be extremely useful to the technicians who will be performing routine and/or extraordinary maintenance on the machine.
Service and limited warranty All machines are factory-tested and guaranteed for 12 months as of the first startup or 18 months as of delivery. These machines have been developed and constructed according to high quality standards ensuring years of failure -free operation.
