2 - Safety (continued) 2.8 Safety regulations (continued) REFRIGERANT DATA SAFETY DATA: R410A Do not inhale concentrated vapours. Their concentration in the atmosphere should not exceed the minimum preset values and should be maintained below the professional threshold. Being more weighty General precautions than the air, the vapour concentrates on the bottom, in narrow areas.
2 - Safety (continued) 2.8 Safety regulations (continued) LUBRICANT OIL DATA SAFETY DATA: POLYESTER OIL (POE) Classification Not harmful. May cause slight irritation. Does not require first aid measures. It is recommended to follow usual personal hygiene measures, including washing the exposed skin with soap and water several times a day. Contact with skin It is also recommended to wash your overalls at least once a week.
3 - Transport, Handling and Storage WQL / WQH / WQRC units are supplied fully assembled and tested (except for accessories supplied loose in the units – absorbers, filter, Space requirements request to handling etc.). They are ready to be installed and started on the field. R410A units are only charged with liquid refrigerant and with oil in the quantity required for operation.
3 - Transport, Handling and Storage 3.3 Anchoring Minimum storage temperature is -25 °C. Store the units in areas where minimum activity is likely to take It is not essential to secure the unit to the foundations, unless in areas place in order to avoid any risk of accidental damage.

9 - Maintenance Carefully read the “Safety” section of this manual before carrying out any maintenance operations. Operations Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere while the refrigeration circuits Check the temperature of the leaving are being drained. Use appropriate recovery fluid equipment.
9 - Maintenance (continued) 9.3 Refrigerant charge 9.5 Condenser Check at regular intervals that the water side of the heat exchanger Do not inject refrigerant liquid into the LP side of the circuit. Be very is perfectly clean. To do this, measure the pressure drop, water side careful, and charge the circuit properly.
9 - Maintenance (continued) 9.8 Mechanical expansion valve 9.9 Evaporator The circuit of the unit is equipped with a mechanical expansion valve, Check at regular intervals that the water side of the heat exchanger with external equalizer is perfectly clean. To do this, measure the pressure drop, water side (see Section 8) or measure the temperature of the liquid leaving and entering the heat exchanger, and compare it to the evaporation The valve is factory calibrated for an overheating of 5 °C.
