1 - INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The units are designed to cool water (for coolers) and cool or reheat water (for reversible heat pumps) for the air conditioning and heating of buildings and industrial processes. They are designed to provide a very high level of safety and reliability, making installation, start-up, operation and maintenance easier and safer. They will provide safe and reliable service if used within their application ranges. For all safety instructions, please refer to the safety manual.
3 - HANDLING AND POSITIONING 3.1 - Handling - The wind may affect the operation and performances of machines. Baffles may be necessary to deflect strong winds. Carrier strongly recommends employing a specialised company These must not restrict the unit's air flow. to unload the machine. IMPORTANT: Before lifting the unit, check that all enclosure Do not remove the subbase or the packaging until the unit is in its panels and grilles are securely fixed in place.

12 - OPTIONS 12.2.8 - TOTAL/PARTIAL FREE COOLING (Option 305A; 305B) Reducing operating costs and protecting the environment have become the key concerns, both for air conditioning applications, and for industrial processes and cooling data centres. The free cooling option allows significant energy savings to be made in all applications that require cooling throughout the year, particularly when used in colder climates. In these regions, free cooling can be used to fulfil a large proportion of the cooling requirements ...

12 - OPTIONS A filter with a mesh size of 0.7 mm is factory fitted inside the free cooling circuit pipe to protect the micro-channel coils from any contamination. During system start-up, after a few hours of operation, it is recommended that the cleanliness of the filter is checked to ensure no debris was been caught in the mesh. The filters do not have any particular operating requirements. However, the mesh must be cleaned or changed as necessary. To check the level of fouling, two branch connections (2) are provided upstream and downstream of the filter for the installation of a differential ...
