AFETY ULES 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 within the temperature range outlined in the operating limits on the •...
PERATION OMPONENTS EFRIGERANT CIRCUIT Operation of the CWE-Q chillers is based on a vapour compression cycle implemented within the chiller circuit and made up of the following components - evaporator, compressor, condenser and thermostatic expansion valve. Evaporator: this is a braise-welded plate that exchanges heat between water and a refrigerant fluid without their coming into contact with each other.
ATER CIRCUIT The water circuit mainly consists of: evaporator, water strainer and hydraulic pipes. The water flows first into the evaporator, where it is chilled, and then it is sent to the system. A differential pressure switch on the evaporator checks that the flow of water is sufficient and stops the compressors if the flow-capacity of the water does not ensure the good functioning of the exchanger.

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 RANSPORT The units are provided with protective corner sections in cardboard and transparent film. After checking that the packing is undamaged, position the unit near the installation site and unpack it. The units can be handled using tubes and belts or a forklift truck. Always keep the chiller vertical: turning it upside down can irreparably damage several parts of the unit.
LACE OF INSTALLATION The CWE-Q unit can be installed either inside or outside. Attention! For CWE-Q 100÷140 install the 4 rubber mats supplied loose and placed inside the electrical panel, under the feet of the unit. 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 machine Water exit from the machine NOTE It is a good rule that the diameters of the arriving and departing pipes be not less than the water fittings.
Pump venting screws Pump drain screw 3.4.2 Use of ethylene glycol as a winter anti-freeze Instead of emptying the system in winter, you can charge the system 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.
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 •...
RELIMINARY HECKS TART 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; Check that the pressure shown on the manometer with the pumps stopped is at least •...
2. Check that the alarm symbol does not light up on the electronic controller; 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 AL27. This safety system prevents the compressor from turning in the wrong direction. Note: the phase sequence relay inside the electrical panel must have both LEDS lit to confirm the correct electromagnetic field.
LECTRONIC ONTROLLER The electronic controller has two 7-segment displays and a series of icons. It manages: The functioning of the compressor to ensure that the water produced has a constant • temperature; The prevention of the high-pressure alarm; • The prevention of the low pressure alarm. •...

A parameter set the position of the neutral zone of regulation: Before or after the setpoint in function of the active mode; • • At the setpoint. For better understand the regulation mode, two steps must be described: • Switch on; Switch off.
HANGING THE COOLING SET POINT To assign a value lower than to 41 °F//5 °C, the minimum set point value must be changed. To do this contact the manufacturer. To achieve temperatures that are negative, or near zero, it is necessary to use anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) in percentages that depend on the desired temperature;...
Manual rearm: these alarms must be reset, which can only be done when the alarm • condition no longer exists; only then can the machine resume operation; Automatic rearm: the alarm is automatically deactivated as soon as the alarm • condition ceases and the machine restarts by itself.

AFETY EVICES CWE-Q 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...
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 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 condensing coils;...
PERATING IMITS CWE-Q 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); they are also prepared to produce water at low temperature: in this case, it is necessary to contact our company (see paragraph 5.10 Low water temperatures (<32°F/0°C)).
