  • Page 13 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS - Option A (unit for system with two pipes) The technical data concerning efficiency in both the heating and cooling modes are given considering that the unit is operated at maximum fan speed. Adequate corrective coefficients can be used to determine the efficiency ratings at the medium and minimum speeds.
  • Page 14 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS - Option B (unit for system with 4 pipes) The considerations made for selection A are also valid when it comes to selecting for cold mode operation. In this case, evaluate how to supply supplementary bank BS-F2 envisaged as optional. Remember that the informa- tion in the documentation refers to the top speed of the fan, thus the required efficiency parameter must be calcu- lated again.

    GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - COOLING EFFICIENCY Graph 1 gives an analysis of the cooling performances in operating conditions differing from the nominal ones. The values given refer to the maximum fan speed. The values corresponding to the medium and minimum speeds can be found by applying the corresponding corrective coefficients given in the table below.

  • Page 31 ACCESSORIES 2.1: FAN THERMOSTAT ACTION In this case, the valve is not used (hot or cold water flows freely into the bank) and thermoregulation occurs by tur- ning the fan on or off. This regulation is associated with both the heat and cool modes. To prevent the ambient probe from making reading errors, the PERIODIC VENTILATION function is activated in both the cool and heat modes.
  • Page 32 ACCESSORIES Valve management includes an ON/OFF control with valve shut signal when the set-point has been reached accor- ding to the hysteresis cycles of the heating/cooling graphs. The valves required are the normally closed type with endothermic actuators and opening/closing times of approx. 3 minutes. The fan is managed with the time settings described in the VENTILATION CONTROL section in order to keep the ambient temperature constantly monitored.
  • Page 33 ACCESSORIES Valve ON Water temp.in °C Heating element ON Detail of heating element/valve commutation Notes: - If the thermoregulator transfers HEAT management from the electric heating elements to the water valve, delayed ventilation activation of 180 seconds will not occur and the fan will be permanently activated (since the air is kept warm by the heating elements until the valve opens).
  • Page 34: Ventilation Control

    ACCESSORIES 3: VENTILATION CONTROL Fan management with the basic and upgraded thermostats depends on the selected operating mode (cool, heat, heating elements): - Fan speed: If the fans are activated, their speed may be: • Manually selected by the user; •...
  • Page 35 ACCESSORIES 3.1: PERIODIC VENTILATION If the control is installed on the machine and the fan is off because the thermostat function has been complied with, there are fan ON/OFF cycles to allow the air probe to detect the effective temperature in the environment. This func- tion is activated in both heat and cool mode.
