1 - INTRODUCTION AQUASNAP 30WI series water chiller units are designed to meet the air conditioning and heating requirements of residential and office buildings as well as the requirements of industrial processes. AQUASNAP 30WI series units are liquid chillers with water-cooled condensers which guarantee safe and reliable operation in the operating range for which they have been designed. All the units are factory tested and checked. They are supplied with a full refrigerant charge. These units meet standard EN 60-204 and standard EN378-2 as well as the following European directives: - Machinery 2006/42 EC - EMC 2014/30/EU - LVD 2014/35/EU - RoHS 2011/65/EC: - PED 2014/68/EU, see table below...

• To ensure vibrations transmitted by solid materials are reduced as much as possible, it is strongly recommended to fit anti- vibration mounts between the unit support and frame (see the section on anti-vibration mounts), as well as flexible couplings on the hydraulic piping. • Have an analysis carried out by an acoustics engineer. IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature must not exceed 50°C during the unit’s off cycles. 7 - HANDLING AND POSITIONING To raise the unit, attach the slings to the designated handling holes. The data relating to the centre of gravity and the position of the anchorage points are given on the dimensional drawing. Detailed view of the anchorage point for handling AQUASNAP 30WI Holes for handling Ø 35.2 mm The unit can be handled with a forklift truck (check the maximum permissible load of the forklift). In this case, it is important that the necessary precautions be taken to avoid the unit sliding on the forks of the forklift. You must observe the instructions given on the label affixed to the unit. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the unit tipping over and causing physical injury. CAUTION: - Attach the slings only to the anchorage points intended for this purpose and which are designated on the unit. - Use slings with a suitable lifting capacity and follow the lifting instructions on the drawings provided with the unit. - Caution: the centre of gravity is not necessarily at the middle of the unit and the forces applied to the slings are not always identical.

15 - CONTROL AND SAFETY DEVICES 15.1 - Electronic control and display module All units in the range are fitted with a CHILLER/HEATPUMP CONTROL microprocessor-controlled electronic control and display module. The electronic module controls the operation of the compressors. Thus, depending on the difference between the cold water (or hot water) return temperature and the setpoint temperature, the electronic module will activate or deactivate the compressors in series. In a standard configuration of the unit, the cold water or hot water control sensor is placed on the evaporator water return (chilled water production use) or condenser (heat pump use). 15.2 - Main functions ■ Water temperature control: - Evaporator chilled water.
15 - CONTROL AND SAFETY DEVICES Evaporator water circulation controller Every unit is fitted with a water circulation control device as standard. Thus, if the water flow is insufficient, the power supply to the compressor(s) is cut and an LED indicates the fault on the regulator console. Internal compressor protection Every model in the range is protected against overheating of the electric motor and high discharge temperatures. The units are equipped with compressors with internal protection against missing phases and phase reversal. On all models, an optional phase controller may also be added if the customer wishes. Discharge sensor Each unit includes one discharge sensor per refrigerating circuit as standard. This sensor located on the discharge piping makes it possible for the user to view the discharge temperature value and enables the electronic module to provide a safety function. If the discharge temperature exceeds the maximum temperature threshold set in the regulator, the power supply to the compressor(s) for the refrigerating circuit concerned is cut and the fault is indicated by an LED on the regulator console. Overpressure protection Each refrigerating circuit in each unit is protected against the risk of overpressure resulting from fire. ■ Fire valves - The fire valve protect the HP and LP circuits against overpressure caused by an increase in the outdoor temperature, when the unit is off. (E.g.: external fire) - This fire valve is not considered a safety device as defined in section 2.11 of appendix 1 of the pressure equipment directive. ■ Allowable pressure (PS) LP side - The LP value (given on the name plate) corresponds to the situation with the unit switched off. This value is given according to the pressure/temperature ratio with an outdoor temperature of 50°C, depending on the unit. These temperatures correspond to the least favourable situation the unit could be subjected to, excluding an external fire. The LP side pipes are sized for the maximum allowable pressure.

19 - ECODESIGN The sealing test must be carried out in compliance with EC regulation no. 517/2014 relating to certain greenhouse gases. R410A, R134a and R407C are refrigerant gases with the following environmental impact: 1/ No impact on the ozone layer. They have an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) index of 0 2/ Impact on the greenhouse effect: Global Warming Potential (GWP) of each gas. - R410A -------- GWP = 2088 - R407C -------- GWP = 1800 - R134a -------- GWP = 1430 Users must ensure that periodic leak testing is carried out by qualified personnel based on the number of tonnes of CO equivalent: ≥ 5 tCO ≥ 50 tCO ≥ 500 tCO Without leak detection system Every 12 months Every 6 months Every 3 months...
21 - TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING PROBLEMS Initial advice: - Faults detected by the safety devices are not necessarily caused by a sudden change in the measurement being monitored. - Taken regularly, readings should make it possible to anticipate future trips. - Perform the checks listed in the table below (next page) if you notice that a measurement deviates from its normal value and gradually moves closer to the safety limit. Important: First and foremost, bear in mind that most faults potentially occurring on the units have simple causes that are often the same for all. Look for these causes first. There are three such causes in particular: • The fouling level of the exchangers • Problems with the fluid circuits • Failures of electric components such as the relay coil or the electric valve etc. Faults Faults Probable causes Instructions - Purge the chilled water circuit. - Check the opening of the chilled water circuit valves. - Air in the chilled water circuit. - Check the direction of rotation of the pump, that there is no - Chilled water flow insufficient. cavitation and that the pump is not too small. Suction pressure too low - Chilled ...
