Unpacking and lifting Always follow guidelines and instructions as given in the product manual for air cooled liquid cool- ers AHE00050. Packing By default, all units are shipped in horizontal airflow position. If vertical airflow is selected, mounting feet come loose. Units are mounted on a wooden pallet, wrapped with plastic foil. As an optional, open crate (single fan row models) or protection for headers and coil (dual fan row models) can be selected.
Unpacking The unit is shipped on a pallet, handling can take place with use of a forklift. Remove cover crate or wooden protections on headers and coil (if present). Unscrew from pallet. The unit is now ready to be lifted into mounting position.
Feet mounting for vertical airflow If units designated for vertical airflow have been ordered with loose feet, the heat exchangers are packed and shipped in horizontal airflow posi- Lifting eyebolts tion. Mounting feet must be mounted prior to installation according to the following procedure. During this procedure the operator must never stand nor walk below the suspended load.
Wind braces for 1200 mm feet Place and fix the wind braces as shown: each beam has a hole which shall be facing upwards. The illustration shows how to mount the wind BENDS SIDE braces on the width side of the heat exchanger: beams shall be mounted alternated in order to reinforce the structure properly.

Lifting from above All AlfaBlue models for both horizontal and vertical airflow are fitted with 4 lifting points. Hence the illustrations apply to all AlfaBlue models for both horizontal and vertical airflow. AlfaBlue heat exchangers can be lifted from above. Use a hoisting beam when necessary, as indicated. •...

5.21 Concrete mounting base To avoid oxidation of the equipment feet, it is recommended to mount the heat exchanger on concrete mounting bases. Base dimensions as indicated. min. 100 mm min. 180 mm min. 180 mm Horizontal airflow min. 100 mm min.
5.24 Positioning The following conditions are to be met when positioning and installing the unit: • Place the unit outdoor in such a way that it can be monitored and accessed for maintenance from all sides at all times. • Verify the structures supporting capacity regarding the weight of the unit(s), including the liquid.

Contact Alfa LU-VE to determine optimal unit spacing for specific conditions on site. Special care should be taken in particular circumstances such as: • When the installation site is exposed to strong winds. • When walls or other obstructions with different configuration than the ones shown in the exam- ples are present on site.
5.25 Wind braces for 4-5-6 modules BDD horizontal airflow models When dual fan row units with 4, 5 or 6 modules are installed with horizontal airflow it is mandatory to anchor the unit to the ground with wind braces. Horizontal airflow installation for dual fan row models with 4, 5 or 6 modules is allowed with wind braces only for sites with winds <...

6 modules 6 eye bolts Attach a steel rope to each eye bolt. Steel ropes are not included in the scope of supply. Min Ø 11 mm or breaking load > 78,5 kN. Anchor the steel ropes to the ground or to the installation structure with M16 anchor bolts.
5.26 Electrical connections The following data determine which connection diagram is to be selected and respected for electrical installation: • Heat exchanger model indication • Fan motor type • Electrical options Detailed electrical connection diagrams are available for download on alfa.luvegroup.com.
5.28 Switch on/off (option SW) If switch on/off (SW) is selected, the default positioning is for vertical airflow installation. The cover design is such that it can be used both for horizontal and vertical airflow installation. To adjust the switch positioning to the actual positioning on site: unscrew the cover fixing screws, turn it as shown and replace fixing screws.
Operation Start-up procedure The following checks are to be performed at system start-up. • Close the liquid-in valve and open the liquid-out valve. • Open unit vent plug and then fill the unit while venting. • When all air has been discharged from the liquid circuit, close unit vent plug. •...
Maintenance Always follow guidelines and instructions as given in product manual AHE00050. Fan replacement Always disconnect power supply before perform- ing any maintenance activities on fans and fan motors. Disconnect fan cabling. Unscrew fixing bolts and remove old fan. Mount new fan in identical position.
