Mounting bracket Use suitable studs when mounting the unit to the ceiling. Fix the unit to cold room ceiling by securely tightening nuts and washers. Ø 8 mm Refrigerant connections Do not adapt headers position to the suction line. Ensure the supply circuit is closed (no pressure) before connecting the suction lines.
Pressure test Ts1=cold room air inlet temperature. Te=evaporating temperature. It is related to the refrigerant pressure on the unit cooler outlet. Trs=refrigerant superheat temperature, on suc- tion line near thermostatic valve bulb. (Trs-Te)=superheat (Trs-Te) ≤ 0.7 x (Ts1-Te) Keep the superheat as low as possible to obtain maximum unit cooler performance.
Electrical connections The following data determine which connection diagram is to be selected and respected for electri- cal installation: • Heat exchanger model indication • Fan motor type • Electrical options When in doubt always contact your local supplier or Alfa LU-VE representative for assistance. Remove the terminal block cover (P).
