SAFETY RULES 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;...
NOTE Phrases to be emphasized that do not contain safety rules. 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.
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.

PERATION OMPONENTS EFRIGERANT CIRCUIT CWB FC chillers use a vapour-compression cycle in a Refrigerant circuit that essentially consists of the following components: evaporator, compressor, condenser and thermostatic expansion valve. Evaporator: this is a braise-welded plate exchanger that exchanges heat between water and a refrigerant fluid without their coming into contact with each other.
OOLING SYSTEM ORKING MODE The Free cooling equipment allows to supply completely or partially the cooling capacity produced by the chiller. The unit is equipped with two additional water coils and when the external ambient temperature is at least 5°C less the water returning from the plant, the free cooling coils can pre-cool or fully cool the water flow.
DENTIFICATION OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS Refrigerant safety valve Compressor High pressure switch Suction temperature probe High pressure transducer Low pressure refrigerant gauge Condenser High pressure refrigerant gauge Low pressure transducer Water gauge Liquid refrigerant solenoid valve Air temperature probe Refrigerant filter 7425MUM661 Model: CWB FC - Use and Maintenance Manual Rev02...

NSTALLATION RANSPORT The units are supplied on a wooden pallet and wrapped in a plastic film. After checking that the packing is undamaged, position the unit near the installation site and unpack it. Always keep the chiller vertical: turning it upside down can irreparably damage several parts of the unit.
Install the leveling feet that are supplied with the machine and which are inside the electrical panel. Please follow the assembly instructions reported into the User Manual. Without doing so, it will avoid the warranty in case of breakages. TORAGE Protect the machine from bad weather, even if packed.
LACE OF INSTALLATION The CWB FC unit can be installed either inside or outside. To determine the best place to install the unit, it is important to consider the following aspects: • The dimensions and source of the water pipes; •...
ATER CONNECTIONS Connect the machine to the water pipes following the instructions located near its water fittings (see figures). Water input to the chiller Water exit from the chiller Important! Install the mechanical water filter, provided with the machine, on its input: scum and impurities can seriously damage the evaporator.
Attention! Never work with an open flame near or inside the unit when making connections to the water system. Important! If the machine charged with pure water, is stopped during the winter, you drain water from the chiller (see paragraph 3.4.2) to avoid damage due to ice.
3.4.3 Charging the water circuit • Check that the drain taps of the water tank are turned off; • Open all the system’s vent valves; • Open the system's shut-off devices; • Ensure that no air is on the pump suction piping and on the pump itself (see picture on the previous page);...
PRELIMINARY CHECKS AND START-UP RELIMINARY CHECKS AND PREPARATION FOR THE FIRST START Important! At start-up, it is necessary to give off air from inlet water pipe using the air relief valve (see paragraph 3.4.1 Recommended water system). Before starting up the unit, do the following: •...
• Check that the alarm symbol does not appear on the electronic controller; if this should happen, press the ESC button to display the type of alarm triggered. Attention! At the first start-up there could be an alarm for an incorrect sequence of the R-S-T phases, indicated by the initials A02, when you press the ESC button.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION ACTORY TYPE OF REGULATION EUTRAL ZONE CONTROL CHILLER SIDE All CWB FC are set up with a neutral zone regulation based on evaporator outlet water temperature. 6.1.1 Neutral zone control: how it works The neutral zone regulation is standard on CWB FC and it is done on evaporator outlet water temperature.
NOTE The safety devices setting can only be changed at a higher level of programming of the electronic control: please request the password by contacting our company. CWB FC units can operate with water and ethylene glycol mixtures up to a concentration of 50%. Anyway, for glycol concentrations higher than 30%, contact our company's sales offices to make sure that the mechanical seal and the pump motor are suitable for the type and concentration of fluid loaded in the hydraulic system...
6.3.1 Recommended setting for operating with low water temperatures For operating with low water temperature, it is recommended to set the following parameters: Parameter Description Unit Desired water °C temperature [°F] [14] [19,4] [23] [26,6] [32] [35,6] [41] [44,6] Cooling temperature °C setpoint [°F]...
SAFETY DEVICES CWB FC chillers have a series of safety devices that limit the machine's temperature and pressure values to ensure that it operates within the anticipated limits and to avoid dangerous situations. Here is a list of dangerous situations, including the relative safety device and its location. Dangerous situation Safety device Location...
ESETTING 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 pressure 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 coils;...
OPERATING LIMITS CWB FC series units feature broad operating limits in relation to the temperature of the outside air, thanks to the condensation control (also see paragraph 2.4 Fans); they are also prepared to produce water at low temperature: in this case, it is necessary to contact our company (see paragraph 6.2 Low water temperatures (<32°F/0°C)).

Warning! Produced water temperatures less than 5°C//41°F require the use of glycolate mixtures and the setting of suitable electronic controller parameters. Contact the company. Warning! External air temperatures lower than +20°C//68°F can only be achieved with condensation control and continuous fan speed control.
