  • Page 62 The anti-seize function, which involves forcing the pump on for 30 s, is activated after a fi xed time of one week of inactivity. A further option available is control of the coil supply water temperature. k.air activates an alarm on exceeding a high or low temperature threshold, after a settable delay.
  • Page 63 Direct expansion coil with integrated management This confi guration, available only on k.air mini, involves the installation of a refrigerant circuit using the inputs/outputs, unipolar expansion valve and communication with the Power+ inverter on the controller, so as to integrate direct expansion architecture with high effi ciency.
  • Page 64 The uChiller direct expansion architecture involves modular architecture, with the refrigerant circuit managed by an external uChiller controller, connected via the Fieldbus serial port available on k.air. This allows to the refrigeration unit to be expanded to include two circuits with two compressors each, either on/off or BLDC. Unlike integrated direct expansion management, the source heat exchanger is managed externally from the air handling unit, via a condensing/evaporation signal.

  • Page 103 Shared pGDX terminal The pGDX terminal can be shared in a network of 1 k.water and up to 10 k.air units. The webserver HMI can easily switch betwe- en the k.water and k.air controllers, meaning only one graphic terminal needs to be installed in the room. This is done following the commissioning procedure, see the paragraph below.
  • Page 104 Enable start-up or operating mode signal k.air and k.water can mutually send and receive signals to enable start- up and change the operating mode. This makes it easier to start the entire system and change operating mode using just one single command, chosen from among those available on the network.
