5.5 - Electric power user reserve

There are only power reserves on the units without hydronic

modules. The reserve is the value corresponding to the high
pressure pump capacity (see information in the hydronic
module data table). Units that do not have the hydronic
module option (30RB 602 to 802) have no reserves.

Control circuit power reserve:

The TC transformer with all possible options connected
makes 1A available for 24 V, 50 Hz.

For the same TC transformer the 230 V, 50 Hz circuit with

connection ribbon only permits supply to the battery
chargers for portable computers, 0.8 A at 230 V maximum.

IMPORTANT: Only connect doubly-insulated class II

apparatus to these ribbons.

pressure drops differ, depending on the duct length, duct

30RB units equipped with fans with available pressure are

designed to operate with air discharge ducts with maximum
pressure drops of 200 Pa.

To compensate for these pressure drops 30RB units with

option 12 are equipped with variable-speed fans with a
maximum speed of 19 r/s, instead of 15.8 r/s and fixed-speed
fans as for the standard units.

the speed ratio i.e. x 1.72).

The full-load or part-load speed is controlled by a

patented algorithm that permanently optimises the

If necessary for a specific installation, the maximum fan

speed of 30RB units can be fixed between 13 and 19 r/s,

11.6 - Unit storage above 48°C (option 241)

During transport in a closed container the refrigerant charge

must be transferred to the condenser. This prevents that
the pressure in the evaporator reaches the valve calibration
pressure during transport (if this happened, the charge
would be evacuated to the atmosphere and the unit would
be empty when it arrives on site). For this reason the charge
is transferred to and stored in the condenser, and the liquid
and discharge line valves are closed.

The following precautions must be taken during installation:

• Ensure that there is sufficient water flow in the
evaporator.
• Energise the unit.
• Open the liquid line valves.
• Open the EXV to return the charge to the evaporator;
pressure equalisation must be verified by a quick test
procedure.
• Open the discharge line valve.

Removal of fibres that obstruct the surfaces:

Fibres and dirt collected on the coil surface must be removed
with a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner,
a soft brush with non-metallic bristles can be used instead. In
all cases cleaning must be done in the direction of the fins,
as the coil surface is easily damaged. The fins bend easily
and damage the protective coating of the coil, if cleaning is
done at right angles to the fins. Clean against the air flow
direction.

(the unit operating pressure is above 40 bar, the pressure
at 35°C air temperature is 50% higher than for R-22).
