1 - INTRODUCTION
Prior to the initial start-up of the 30RB units, the people
involved should be thoroughly familiar with these
instructions.
The 30RB liquid chillers are designed to provide a very
high level of safety and reliability making installation,
start-up, operation and maintenance easier and more
secure. They will provide safe and reliable service when
operated within their application range.
The procedures in this manual are arranged in the sequence
required for machine installation, start-up, operation and
maintenance.
Be sure you understand and follow the procedures and
safety precautions contained in the instructions supplied
with the machine, as well as those listed in this guide, such
as: protective clothing such as gloves, safety glasses, safety
shoes and appropriate tools, and suitable qualications
(electrical, air conditioning, local legislation).
To nd out, if these products comply with European direc-
tives (machine safety, low voltage, electromagnetic compati-
bility, equipment under pressure etc.) check the declarations
of conformity for these products.
1.1 - Check equipment received
Conrm that the unit received is the one ordered.
Compare the name plate data with the order. The name-
plate is attached to the control box door on the inside.
The unit name plate must include the following
information:
- Model number - size
- CE marking
- Serial number
- Year of manufacture and pressure and leak
tightness test date
- Refrigerant used
- Refrigerant charge per circuit
- PS: Min./max. allowable pressure (high and low
pressure side)
- TS: Min./max. allowable temperature (high and
low pressure side)
- Globe valve cut-out pressure
- Pressure switch cut-out pressure
- Unit leak test pressure
- Voltage, frequency, number of phases
- Maximum current drawn
- Maximum power input
- Unit net weight
Conrm that all accessories ordered for on-site
installation have been delivered, and are complete
and undamaged.
The unit must be checked periodically, if necessary
removing the insulation (thermal, acoustic), during its
whole operating life to ensure that no shocks (handling
accessories, tools etc.) have damaged it. If necessary, the
damaged parts must be repaired or replaced. See also
chapter Maintenance.
1.2 - Installation safety considerations
After the unit has been received, and before it is started up,
it must be inspected for damage. Check that the refrigerant
circuits are intact, especially that no components or pipes
have shifted or been damaged (e.g. following a shock). If in
doubt, carry out a leak tightness check. If damage is detected
upon receipt, immediately le a claim with the shipping
company.
Do not remove the skid or the packaging until the unit is
in its nal position. These units can be moved with a fork
lift truck, as long as the forks are positioned in the right
place and direction on the unit.
The units can also be lifted with slings, using only the
designated lifting points marked on the unit (labels on
the chassis and a label with all unit handling instructions
are attached to the unit).
Use slings with the correct capacity, and always follow
the lifting instructions on the certied drawings supplied
for the unit.
Safety is only guaranteed, if these instructions are
carefully followed. If this is not the case, there is a risk of
material deterioration and injuries to personnel.
Never cover any safety devices.
This applies to the globe valve in the water circuit and
the globe valve(s) in the cooling circuit(s).
Ensure that the valves are correctly installed, before
operating the unit.
The globe stops are designed and installed to ensure
protection against re risk. Removing the globe stops is
only permitted if the re risk is fully controlled and the
responsibility of the user.
All factory-installed globe valves are lead-sealed to
prevent any calibration change.
The safety valves must be connected to discharge pipes for
units installed in conned spaces. These pipes must be
installed in a way that ensures that people and property
are not exposed to refrigerant leaks. These uids may be
diffused in the air, but far away from any building air
intake, or they must be discharged in a quantity that is
appropriate for a suitably absorbing environment.
Globe valves must be checked periodically. See paragraph
Repair safety considerations.
Provide a drain in the discharge circuit, close to each
globe valve, to avoid an accumulation of condensate or
rain water.
All precautions concerning handling of refrigerant must
be observed in accordance with local regulations.

1.3 - Equipment and components under pressure
These products incorporate equipment or components under
pressure, manufactured by Carrier or other manufacturers.
We recommend that you consult your appropriate national
trade association or the owner of the equipment or compo-
nents under pressure (declaration, re-qualication, retesting,
etc.). The characteristics of this equipment/these components
are given on the nameplate or in the required documentation,
supplied with the products.
These units comply with the European Pressure Equipment
Directive.
1.4 - Maintenance safety considerations
Engineers working on the electric or refrigeration compo-
nents must be authorized, trained and fully qualied to do so.
All refrigerant circuit work must be carried out by a trained
person, fully qualied to work on these units. He must have
been trained and be familiar with the equipment and the
installation. All welding operations must be carried out by
qualied specialists.
Aquasnap Puron units use high-pressure R-410A refrigerant
(the unit operating pressure is above 40 bar, the pressure
at 35C air temperature is 50% higher than for R-22).
Special equipment must be used when working on the
refrigerant circuit (pressure gauge, charge transfer, etc.).
Any manipulation (opening or closing) of a shut-off valve
must be carried out by a qualied and authorised engineer,
observing applicable standards (e.g. during draining opera-
rations). The unit must be switched off during all operations.
NOTE: The unit must never be left shut down with the
liquid line valve closed, as liquid refrigerant can be trapped
between this valve and the expansion device. This valve is
situated on the liquid line before the lter drier box.
During any handling, maintenance and service operations
the engineers working on the unit must be equipped with
safety gloves, glasses, shoes and protective clothing.
Never work on a unit that is still energized. Never work
on any of the electrical components, until the general
power supply to the unit has been cut.
If any maintenance operations are carried out on the unit,
lock the power supply circuit in the open position ahead
of the machine.
If the work is interrupted, always ensure that all circuits
are still deenergized before resuming the work.
ATTENTION: Even if the unit has been switched off, the
power circuit remains energized, unless the unit or circuit
disconnect switch is open. Refer to the wiring diagram for
further details. Attach appropriate safety labels.
It is recommended to install an indicating device to show
if part of the refrigerant has leaked from the valve. The
presence of oil at the outlet orice is a useful indicator that
refrigerant has leaked. Keep this orice clean to ensure that
any leaks are obvious. The calibration of a valve that has
leaked is generally lower than its original calibration. The
new calibration may affect the operating range. To avoid
nuisance tripping or leaks, replace or re-calibrate the valve.
OPERATING CHECKS:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING
THE REFRIGERANT USED:
This product contains uorinated greenhouse gas
covered by the Kyoto protocol.
Refrigerant type: R410A
Global Warming Potential (GWP): 1975
Periodic inspections for refrigerant leaks may be
required depending on European or local legislation.
Please contact your local dealer for more information.
During the life-time of the system, inspection and tests
must be carried out in accordance with national
regulations.
Safety device checks (annex C6 EN378-2):
The safety devices must be checked on site once a year
(high-pressure switches), and every ve years for
external overpressure devices (safety valves).
Check manual 30RB/RQ Pro-Dialog Plus control
for a detailed explanation of the high-pressure switch
test method.
At least once a year thoroughly inspect the protection
devices (valves). If the machine operates in a corrosive
environment, inspect the protection devices more frequently.
Regularly carry out leak tests and immediately repair any
leaks.
Ensure regularly that the vibration levels remain accept-
able and close to those at the initial unit start-up.
Before opening a refrigerant circuit, purge and consult the
pressure gauges.
Change the refrigerant after equipment failures, following
a procedure such as the one described in NFE 29-795 or
carry out a refrigerant analysis in a specialist laboratory.
If the refrigerant circuit remains open for longer than a day
after an intervention (such as a component replacement),
the openings must be plugged and the circuit must be
charged with nitrogen (inertia principle). The objective is to
prevent penetration of atmospheric humidity and the result-
ing corrosion on the internal walls and on non-protected
steel surfaces.
1.5 - Repair safety considerations
All installation parts must be maintained by the personnel
in charge, in order to avoid deterioration and injury. Faults
and leaks must be repaired immediately. The authorized
technician must have the responsibility to repair the fault
immediately. Each time repairs have been carried out to the
unit, the operation of the safety devices must be re-checked.
6
Comply with the regulations and recommendations in unit
and HVAC installation safety standards, such as: EN 378,
ISO 5149, etc.
Do not use oxygen to purge lines or to pressurize a machine
for any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil,
grease, and other common substances.
Never exceed the specied maximum operating pressures.
Verify the allowable maximum high- and low-side test
pressures by checking the instructions in this manual and
the pressures given on the unit name plate.
Do not use air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or dry
nitrogen.
Do not unweld or amecut the refrigerant lines or any refri-
gerant circuit component until all refrigerant (liquid and
vapour) has been removed from chiller. Traces of vapour
should be displaced with dry air nitrogen. Refrigerant in
contact with an open ame produces toxic gases.
The necessary protection equipment must be available,
and appropriate re extinguishers for the system and the
refrigerant type used must be within easy reach.
Do not siphon refrigerant.
Avoid spilling liquid refrigerant on skin or splashing it into
the eyes. Use safety goggles. Wash any spills from the skin
with soap and water. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes,
immediately and abundantly ush the eyes with water and
consult a doctor.
Never apply an open ame or live steam to a refrigerant
container. Dangerous overpressure can result.
During refrigerant removal and storage operations follow
applicable regulations. These regulations, permitting condi-
tioning and recovery of halogenated hydrocarbons under
optimum quality conditions for the products and optimum
safety conditions for people, property and the environment
are described in standard NFE 29795.
Refer to the certied dimensional drawings for the units.
It is dangerous and illegal to re-use disposable (non-return-
able) cylinders or attempt to rell them.. When cylinders
are empty, evacuate the remaining gas pressure, and move
them to a designated place for recovery. Do not incinerate.
Do not attempt to remove refrigerant circuit components
or ttings, while the machine is under pressure or while it
is running. Be sure pressure is at 0 kPa before removing
components or opening a circuit.
Do not attempt to repair or recondition any safety devices
when corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt,
scale, etc.) is found within the valve body or mechanism.
If necessary, replace the device. Do not install safety
valves in series or backwards.
ATTENTION: No part of the unit must be used as a
walkway, rack or support. Periodically check and repair
or if necessary replace any component or piping that
shows signs of damage.
Do not step on refrigerant lines. The lines can break under
the weight and release refrigerant, causing personal injury.
Do not climb on a machine. Use a platform, or staging to
work at higher levels.
Use mechanical lifting equipment (crane, hoist, winch, etc.)
to lift or move heavy components. For lighter components,
use lifting equipment when there is a risk of slipping or
losing your balance.
Use only original replacement parts for any repair or com-
ponent replacement. Consult the list of replacement parts
that corresponds to the specication of the original equip-
ment.
Do not drain water circuits containing industrial brines,
without informing the technical service department at the
installation site or a competent body rst.
Close the entering and leaving water shutoff valves and
purge the unit hydronic circuit, before working on the
components installed on the circuit (screen lter, pump,
water ow switch, etc.).
Periodically inspect all valves, ttings and pipes of the
refrigerant and hydronic circuits to ensure that they do
not show any corrosion or any signs of leaks.
It is recommended to wear ear defenders, when working
near the unit and the unit is in operation.

2.1 - Moving
See chapter Installation safety considerations.
2.2 - siting the unit
Always refer to the chapter Dimensions and clearances
to conrm that there is adequate space for all connections
and service operations. For the centre of gravity coordinates,
the position of the unit mounting holes, and the weight
distribution points, refer to the certied dimensional
drawing supplied with the unit.
Typical applications of these units do not require earthquake
resistance. Earthquake resistance has not been veried.
CAUTION: Only use slings at the designated lifting
points which are marked on the unit.
Before siting the unit check that:
the permitted loading at the site is adequate or that
appropriate strenghtening measures have been taken.
the unit is installed level on an even surface (maximum
tolerance is 5 mm in both axes).
7
there is adequate space above the unit for air ow and
to ensure access to the components (see dimensional
drawings).
the number of support points is adequate and that
they are in the right places.
the location is not subject to ooding.
for outdoor installations, where heavy snowfall is likely
and long periods of sub-zero temperatures are normal,
provision has to be made to prevent snow accumulating
by raising the unit above the height of drifts normally
experienced. Bafes may be necessary to deect strong
winds. They must not restrict air ow into the unit.
CAUTION: Before lifting the unit, check that all casing
panels are securely xed in place. Lift and set down the
unit with great care. Tilting and jarring can damage the
unit and impair unit operation.
If 30RB units are hoisted with rigging, it is advisable to
protect coils against crushing while a unit is being moved.
Use struts or a lifting beam to spread the slings above the
unit. Do not tilt a unit more than 15.
WARNING: Never push or lever on any of the enclosure
panels of the unit. Only the base of the unit frame is
designed to withstand such stresses.
2.3 - Checks before system start-up
Before the start-up of the refrigeration system, the complete
installation, including the refrigeration system must be
veried against the installation drawings, dimensional
drawings, system piping and instrumentation diagrams and
the wiring diagrams.
During the installation test national regulations must be
followed. If no national regulation exists, paragraph 9-5 of
standard EN 378-2 can be used as a guide.
External visual installation checks:
Compare the complete installation with the refrigeration
system and power circuit diagrams.
Check that all components comply with the design
specications.
Check that all safety documents and equipments that are
required by current European standards are present.
Verify that all safety and environmental protection
devices and arrangements are in place and comply
with the current European standard.
Verify that all document for pressure containers, certi-
cates, name plates, les, instruction manuals that are
required documents required by the current European
standards are present.
Verify the free passage of access and safety routes.
Verify the instructions and directives to prevent the
deliberate removal of refrigerant gases.
Verify the installation of connections.
Verify the supports and xing elements (materials,
routing and connection).
Verify the quality of welds and other joints.
Check the protection against mechanical damage.
Check the protection against heat.
Check the protection of moving parts.
Compressor flange to be removed
Chassis fixing to be kept
Verify the accessibility for maintenance or repair and
to check the piping.
Verify the status of the valves.
Verify the quality of the thermal insulation.
IMPORTANT: The compressor assemblies are oating
on rubber blocks between the unit chassis and the sub-
assembly chassis (they are not visible). To protect the
piping during transport, a ange is installed in the factory.
This ange must be removed on site.
The ange is identied by red rings. A label attached to
the compressor sub-assembly warns the installer.

5.4 - 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.
Electrical data notes for 30RB units:
The control box includes the following standard features:
- Starter and motor protection devices for each compressor and the fan(s)
- Control devices
Field connections:
All connections to the system and the electrical installations must be in full
accordance with all applicable local codes.
The Carrier 30RB units are designed and built to ensure conformance with
these codes. The recommendations of European standard EN 60 204-1
(corresponds to IEC 60204-1) (machine safety - electrical machine components -
part 1: general regulations) are specifically taken into account, when designing the
electrical equipment.
Electrical reserves:
Circuit A has disconnect switches and branch sections, designed to supply the
evaporator pump power input.
IMpORTaNT:
Generally the recommendations of IEC 60364 are accepted as compliance with
the requirements of the installation directives. Conformance with EN 60204 is
the best means of ensuring compliance with the Machines Directive 1.5.1.
Annex B of EN 60204-1 describes the electrical characteristics used for the
operation of the machines.
1. The operating environment for the 30RB units is specified below:
a. Environment* - Environment as classified in EN 60721 (corresponds to IEC
60721) :
- outdoor installation*
- ambient temperature range: -20C to +48C, class 4K3*
- altitude: 2000 m
- presence of hard solids, class 4S2 (no significant dust present)
- presence of corrosive and polluting substances, class 4C2 (negligible)
- vibration and shock, class 4M2
b. Competence of personnel, class BA4* (trained personnel - IEC 60364)
2. Power supply frequency variation: 2 Hz.
3. The neutral (N) line must not be connected directly to the unit (if necessary use
a transformer).
4. Overcurrent protection of the power supply conductors is not provided with the
unit.
5. The factory-installed disconnect switch(es)/circuit breaker(s) is (are) of a type
suitable for power interruption in accordance with EN 60947-3 (corresponds to
IEC 60947-3).
6. The units are designed for simplified connection on TN(s) networks (IEC
60364). For IT networks derived currents may interfere with network
monitoring elements, and it is recommended to create an IT type divider for the
system units that require this and/or a TN type divider for Carrier units. Please
consult the appropriate local organisations to define the monitoring and
protection elements and to complete the electrical installation.
NOTE: If particular aspects of an actual installation do not conform to
the conditions described above, or if there are other conditions which
should be considered, always contact your local Carrier representative.
* The required protection level for this class is IP43B (according to reference
document IEC 60529). All 30RB units are protected to IP44CW and fulfil this
protection condition.
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.

6.4 - variable flow evaporator
Variable evaporator ow can be used in standard chillers.
The ow rate must be higher than the minimum ow given
in the table of permissible ow rates and must not vary by
more than 10% per minute. If the ow rate changes more
rapidly, the system should contain a minimum of 6.5 litres
of water per kW instead of 2.5 l/kW.
6.5 - Minimum system water volume
Whichever the system, the water loop minimum capacity is
given by the formula:

Capacity = Cap (kW) x N Litres
application N
Normal air conditioning 3.25
Process type cooling 6.5
Where Cap is the nominal system cooling capacity (kW) at
the nominal operating conditions of the installation.
This volume is necessary for stable operation.
It can be necessary to add a buffer water tank to the circuit
in order to achieve the required volume. The tank must
itself be internally bafed in order to ensure proper mixing
of the liquid (water or brine). Refer to the examples below.
6.6 - Maximum system water volume
Units with hydronic module incorporate an expansion
tank that limits the water volume. The table below gives
the maximum loop volume for pure water or ethylene
glycol with various system concentrations, as well as the
static pressures. If the maximum volume is insufcient,
compared to the minimum system water loop volume, an
additional expansion tank must be added to the system.

7.4 - Recommended wire sections
Wire sizing is the responsibility of the installer, and depends
on the characteristics and regulations applicable to each
installation site. The following is only to be used as a guide-
line, and does not make Carrier in any way liable. After
wire sizing has been completed, using the certied dimen-
sional drawing, the installer must ensure easy connection
and dene any modications necessary on site.
The connections provided as standard for the eld-supplied
power entry cables to the general disconnect/isolator switch
are designed for the number and type of wires, listed in the
table below.
The calculations are based on the maximum machine current
(see electrical data tables).
7 - ElECTRICal CONNECTION
Please refer to the certied dimensional drawings, supplied
with the unit.
7.1 - power supply
The power supply must conform to the specication on the
chiller nameplate. The supply voltage must be within the
range specied in the electrical data table. For connections
refer to the wiring diagrams and the certied dimensional
drawings.
WARNING: Operation of the chiller with an improper
supply voltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes
abuse which will invalidate the Carrier warranty. If the
phase imbalance exceeds 2% for voltage, or 10% for
current, contact your local electricity supply at once and
ensure that the chiller is not switched on until corrective
measures have been taken.
7.2 - voltage phase imbalance (%)
100 x max. deviation from average voltage
Average voltage
Example:
On a 400 V - 3 ph - 50 Hz supply, the individual phase
voltages were measured to be:
AB = 406 V ; BC = 399 V; AC = 394 V
Average voltage = (406 + 399 + 394)/3 = 1199/3
= 399.7 say 400 V
Calculate the maximum deviation from the 400 V average:
(AB) = 406 - 400 = 6
(BC) = 400 - 399 = 1
(CA) = 400 - 394 = 6

For the accessory system the following standardised instal-
lation methods are used, in accordance with IEC 60364,
table 52C:
No. 17: suspended aerial lines, and No. 61: buried conduit
with a derating coefcient of 20.
The calculation is based on PVC or XLPE insulated cables
with copper or aluminium core. The maximum temperature
is 48C. The given wire length limits the voltage drop to < 5%.
IMPORTANT: Before connection of the main power cables
(L1 - L2 - L3) on the terminal block, it is imperative to
check the correct order of the 3 phases before proceeding
to the connection on then terminal block or the main
disconnect/isolator switch.
The current values used are given for a unit equipped with
a hydronic kit operating at maximum current.
7.4.1 - Power cable entry
The power cables can enter the 30RB control box from
below or from the unit side.
Unit raised from the ground (e.g. installation on support
rails): It is recommended to enter the power cables from
below the control box. A removable aluminium plate
below the control box allows introduction of the cables.
Unit placed on the ground (e.g.on a concrete base): It is
recommended to enter the power cables from the con-
trol box side. An aluminium plate on the control box
face allows introduction of the cables. It is important to
check that the power cable bend radius is compatible
with the connection space available in the control box.
Refer to the certied dimensional drawing for the unit.
7.4.2 - Connection extension box
This accessory permits stripping the power cables before
they enter the control box, and it must be used when the
cable bend radius is not compatible with the connection
space available in the control box. The accessory connection
extension box ensures mechanical protection of the stripped
cable, before it enters the control box. It must be used in
the following cases:
Unit placed on the ground and use of power cables
with protective metallic armour.
Unit placed on the ground and use of power cables
with a section > 250 mm

.
7.5 - Field control wiring
Refer to the 30RB Pro-Dialog Plus Controls IOM and the
certied wiring diagram supplied with the unit for the eld
control wiring of the following features:
Customer interlock (safety chain)
Evaporator pump interlock (mandatory)
Remote on/off switch
Remote heat/cool switch
Demand limit external switch 1
Remote dual set point
Alarm, alert and operation report
Evaporator pump control
Heat reclaim condenser pump control (option)
Setpoint reset via outside air temperature sensor reset
(0-10 V)
Various interlocks on the Energy Management
Module (EMM) board (accessory or option)
7.6 - power supply
After the unit has been commissioned, the power supply
must only be disconnected for quick maintenance operations
(one day maximum). For longer maintenance operations
or when the unit is taken out of service and stored (e.g.
during the winter or if the unit does not need to generate
cooling) the power supply must be maintained to ensure
supply to the compressor oil crankcase heaters.

8.1.2 - Carrier recommendations on heat exchange uids
The water supply must be analysed and appropriate lter-
ing, treatment and control devices built in to suit the appli-
cation and prevent corrosion, fouling and deterioration of
the pump ttings.
Consult either a water treatment specialist or appropriate
literature on the subject.
No NH
4+
ammonium ions in the water, they are very
detrimental for copper. This is one of the most important
factors for the operating life of copper piping. A content
of several tenths of mg/l will badly corrode the copper
over time. If required, use sacricial anodes.
Cl
-
Chloride ions are also detrimental for copper with
a risk of perforations by corrosion by puncture. If
possible keep at a level below 10 mg/l.
SO
4
2-
sulphate ions can cause perforating corrosion, if
their content is above 30 mg/l.
No uoride ions (<0.1 mg/l).
No Fe
2+
and Fe
3+
ions with non negligible levels of
dissolved oxygen must be present. Dissolved iron < 5
mg/l with dissolved oxygen < 5 mg/l.
Dissolved silicon: silicon is an acid element of water
and can also lead to corrosion risks. Content < 1 mg/l.
Water hardness: >0.5 mmol/l. Values between 1.0 and
2.5 mmol/l can be recommended. This will facilitate
scale deposit that can limit corrosion of copper. Values
that are too high can cause piping blockage over time.
A total alkalimetric titre (TAC) below 100 is desirable.
Dissolved oxygen: Any sudden change in water oxygen-
ation conditions must be avoided. It is as detrimental
to deoxygenate the water by mixing it with inert gas as
it is to over-oxygenate it by mixing it with pure oxygen.
The disturbance of the oxygenation conditions encou-
rages destabilisation of copper hydroxides and enlarge-
ment of particles.
Specic resistance electric conductivity: the higher the
specic resistance, the slower the corrosion tendency.
Values above 30 m are desirable. A neutral
environment favours maximum specic resistance
values. For electric conductivity values in the order of
20-60 mS/m can be recommended.
pH: Ideal case pH neutral at 20-25C
7 < pH < 8
- If the water circuit must be emptied for longer than
one month, the complete circuit must be placed
under nitrogen charge to avoid any risk of corrosion
by differential aeration.
- Charging and removing heat exchange uids should
be done with devices that must be included on
the water circuit by the installer. Never use the
unit heat exchangers to add heat exchange uid.
8 - WaTER CONNECTIONs
For diameters and position of the heat exchanger water inlet
and outlet connections refer to the certied dimensional
drawings supplied with the unit.
The piping must not in any way lead to mechanical
constraints on the heat exchangers.
8.1 - Operating precautions
8.1.1 - General
The uid to be cooled (often water) must meet the criteria
below.
The hydraulic circuit must be equipped with lters, purges,
vents and unit shut-off valves.
The essential points to verify are:
Comply with the water inlet and outlet connections
shown on the unit.
Install manual or automatic air purge valves at all
high points in the circuit.
Use an expansion device to maintain pressure in the
circuit.
Install a safety valve as well as an expansion tank
(included with the hydronic module option).
Install thermometers in both the entering and leaving
water connections (recommendation).
Install drain connections at all low points to allow the
whole circuit to be drained.
Install stop valves, close to the entering and leaving
water connections.
Use exible connections to reduce the transmission of
vibrations.
Insulate all pipework, after testing for leaks to prevent
condensation.
A screen lter must be installed in the water circuit
(included with the hydronic module option). The
mesh size of the lter must be 1.2 mm (see Typical
water circuit diagram on the right).
Before the system start-up verify that the water circuits
are connected to the appropriate heat exchangers.
Do not introduce any signicant static or dynamic
pressure into the heat exchange circuit (with regard to
the design operating pressures).
Before any start-up verify that the heat exchange uid
is compatible with the materials and the water circuit
coating.
In case additives or other uids than those recom-
mended by Carrier are used, ensure that the uids are
not considered as a gas, and that they belong to class
2, as dened in directive 97/23/EC.

8.3 - Flow control
All units are equipped with a factory-set ow switch. The
unit must be interlocked with the chilled-water pump, if
the unit is not equipped with the hydronic option module.
Terminals 34 and 35 are provided for eld installation of
the chilled water pump interlock (auxiliary contact for
pump operation to be wired on site).
8.4 - Frost protection
The standard unit does not include any particular frost
protection when it has shut down. It is therefore essential
to check that there is no risk of the water in the hydronic
circuit freezing during winter temperature conditions. If
this may be the case it is essential to add an appropriate
anti-freeze solution to protect the hydronic circuit down to
the minimum temperature minus 10 K.
Another solution consists of draining the hydronic circuits
exposed to temperatures below 0C. If the unit is not used for
an extended period, protect it by circulating a protective
solution. Please consult a specialist.
A third solution is to order the evaporator frost protection
option (factory-installed - an electric heater on the evapo-
rator).
If the hydronic module option is ordered, the evaporator
and hydronic module frost protection option (additional
electric heaters on the hydronic module) must also be
ordered to ensure protection of the hydronic module down
to -20C.
20
8.5 - Operation of two units in master/slave mode
For this type of operation the Twinning option must be
ordered. The units supplied are then equipped with an
additional sensor connected to the electronic board and
located in the control box. This sensor must be used when
master/slave assembly control at the water outlet is used
(it is not required for entering water control).
The customer must connect the two units via a communi-
cation bus (0.75 mm
2
, twisted and shielded). Consult the
30RB Pro-Dialog Plus control manual for the connection
addresses.
Master/slave operation is only possible, when the units are
installed in parallel. It is not possible, if the units are
installed in series.
All parameters, required for the master/slave function must
be congured using the Service Conguration menu. All
remote controls of the master/slave assembly (start/stop,
set point, load shedding etc.) are controlled by the unit
congured as master and must only be applied to the
master unit.
Each unit controls its own water pump. If there is only one
common pump, in cases with variable ow, isolation valves
must be installed on each unit. They will be activated at the
opening and closing by the control of each unit (in this case
the valves are controlled using the dedicated water pump
outputs). See the 30RB Pro-Dialog Plus Control IOM for
a more detailed explanation.
30RB with configuration: leaving water control
NOTE: The hydronic module can be protected down to
-10C without the evaporator and hydronic module frost
protection option provided that:
the evaporator frost protection option is ordered
the pump starts up periodically to allow water
circulation in the hydronic circuit. If the system is
isolated by a valve, it is imperative to install a bypass
as indicated below.

ATTENTION: If the recommendations above are not
followed, any resulting frost damage is not covered by the
guarantee.
The frost protection and electric heater solutions can be
combined. If protection by electric heater is used, do not
switch off the power supply to the unit.
IMPORTANT: The main unit disconnect switch, the
auxiliary heater protection switch as well as the control
circuit switch must always remain closed (to locate the
components, please refer to the wiring diagram).

9 - NOMINal sysTEM WaTER FlOW CONTROl
The water circulation pumps of the 30RB units have been
sized to allow the hydronic modules to cover all possible
congurations based on the specic installation conditions,
i.e. for various temperature differences between the entering
and the leaving water (T) at full load, which can vary
between 3 and 10C.
This required difference between the entering and leaving
water temperature determines the nominal system ow
rate. It is necessary to know the nominal system ow rate
to allow its control via a manual valve provided in the
water leaving piping of the module (item 9 in the typical
hydronic circuit diagram).
With the pressure loss generated by the control valve in the
hydronic system, the valve can impose the system pressure/
ow curve on the pump pressure/ow curve, to obtain the
desired operating point. The pressure drop reading in the
heat exchanger is used to control and adjust the nominal
system ow rate.
Use this specication for the unit selection to know the
system operating conditions and to deduce the nominal air
ow as well as the heat exchanger pressure drop at the
specied conditions. If this information is not available at the
system start-up, contact the technical service department
responsible for the installation to get it.
These characteristics can be obtained from the technical
literature using the unit performance tables for a T of 5 K at
the evaporator or with the Electronic Catalogue selection
program for all T conditions other than 5 K in the range
of 3 to 10 K.
9.1 - Water flow control procedure
As the total system pressure drop is not known exactly at
the start-up, the water ow rate must be adjusted with the
control valve provided to obtain the specic ow rate for
this application.
Proceed as follows:
Open the valve fully (approximately 22 turns counter-
clockwise).
Start-up the pump using the forced start command (refer
to the controls manual) and let the pump run for two
consecutive hours to clean the hydronic circuit of the
system (presence of solid contaminants).
Read the lter pressure drop by taking the difference of
the readings of the pressure gauge connected to the lter
inlet and outlet, using valves (see typical hydronic circuit
diagrams), and comparing this value after two hours of
operation.
If the pressure drop has increased, this indicates that the
screen lter must be removed and cleaned, as the hydronic
circuit contains solid particles. In this case close the shutoff
valves at the water inlet and outlet and remove the screen
lter after emptying the hydronic section of the unit.
Renew, if necessary, to ensure that the lter is not contami-
nated. Purge the air from the circuit using the purge valves in
the hydronic circuit and the system (see typical hydronic
circuit diagram).
When the circuit is cleaned, read the pressures at the
pressure gauge (entering water pressure - leaving water
pressure), expressed in bar and convert this value to kPa
(multiply by 100) to nd out the evaporator pressure drop.
Compare the value obtained with the theoretical selection
value.
It is essential to carry out systematic lter cleaning at the
initial start-up, as well as after any modication in the
hydronic circuit.
ATTENTION: It is essential to keep the pressure gauge
purge valve open after measuring the pressure (risk of
freezing during winter).
If the pressure drop measured is higher than the value
specied the ow rate in the evaporator (and thus in the
system) is too high. The pump supplies an excessive ow
rate based on the global pressure drop of the application.
In this case close the control valve one turn and read the
new pressure difference.
Proceed by successively closing the control valve until you
obtain the specic pressure drop that corresponds to the
nominal ow rate at the required unit operating point.
If the system has an excessive pressure drop in relation
to the available static pressure provided by the pump,
the resulting water ow rate will de reduced and the
difference between entering and leaving water tempe-
rature of the hydronic module will be increased.
To reduce the pressure drops of the hydronic system, it is
necessary:
to reduce the individual pressure drops as much as
possible (bends, level changes, accessories, etc.)
to use a correctly sized piping diameter.
to avoid hydronic system extensions, wherever possible.

The change-over between the cooling and free-cooling modes
is automatically controlled (it is possible to block the change-
over to free-cooling by reconguring the machine - see
Controls IOM). The congurable parameters permitting
change-over are the outside air temperature and the leaving
water temperature set-point. As soon as the temperature
difference LWT
stp
- OAT is above 8 K the current capacity in
cooling mode is calculated and compared with the theoretical
free-cooling capacity. This comparison authorizes/stops the
change-over to free-cooling.
After change-over to free-cooling all compressors are
stopped (the compressor functions are bypassed). As soon
as the valves open, the free-cooling pumps are started. This
change-over logic takes around 10 minutes. Taking this
timing into consideration only one change-over cooling -
free-cooling is authorized per hour.
If the capacity supplied in the free-cooling mode is insuf-
cient (set-point not reached), the unit automatically
changes over to cooling mode.
To optimize operation in free-cooling mode we strongly
recommend to use the set-point offset function. This
favours the change-over to free-cooling and increases the
capacity in free-cooling mode.

If the evaporator frost protection option is ordered,
electric heaters protect the two heat exchangers against
frost. However, the evaporator connection pipes are not
protected. It is recommended to add pipe protection at the
time of installation (glycol, heat insulation, heaters etc.).

11.6 - heat reclaim operation
The heat reclaim condenser option is only available on
units with two circuits. It was designed with a shell-and-
tube two-circuit heat exchanger with the coils in parallel.
The two circuits are independently controlled. This means
that one circuit can be in cooling mode and the other in heat
reclaim mode. This permits two stable control stages (100% if
the circuits are in heat reclaim mode, and approximately
50% based on the size of the circuit in operation). The
intermediate stages are obtained by cycling between the
cooling mode and the heat reclaim mode.
11.4 - Operating limits
heat reclaim condenser Minimum Maximum
Entering water temperature at start-up C 15* 55
Outdoor ambient operating temperature C 0** 46
* The water entering temperature at start-up must not fall below 15C. For
installations with a lower temperature an accessory 3-way valve must be
installed.
** The minimum outside temperature for heat reclaim mode is 0C in cooling
mode and -20C with the winter operation option.
11.5 - Flow control
A ow switch on the condenser is factory-installed. The
condenser loop is protected against a ow rate that is too
low. Output 16 of the additional board of this option
allows control of the condenser pump operation that will
start up after the unit has started.
If the ow rate is too low:
- changeover to the heat reclaim mode is not permitted,
- immediate changeover to cooling mode when the ow
rate is too low and the unit operates in heat reclaim
mode.

Please refer to the typical installation diagram below for
the main components and functions of the 30RB units with
the desuperheater option.
35
12.3.1 - Installation
The water supply of each desuperheater is arranged in
parallel.
The water connections on the desuperheater water inlets
and outlets must not cause any mechanical local constraint
at the heat exchangers. If necessary, install exible
connection sleeves.
Install water ow control and balancing valves at the heat
exchanger outlet. Water ow control and balancing can be
done by reading the pressure drop in the heat exchangers.
This pressure drop must be identical on all of them with
the total water ow rate given by the "Electronic catalogue"
selection program.
Please refer to the pressure drop curves below to carry out
the control of the balancing valves before starting up the
installation. It is possible to rene the water ow control of
each desuperheater when the unit operates at full load by
trying to obtain leaving water temperatures that are
absolutely identical for each circuit.

Operation of the pump (see typical diagram - item 20 of
chapter 12.3) of the desuperheater water circuit can be
linked to the start-up of the rst unit compressor. This
requires the installation of an additional electronic board in
the control box: option 156, Energy Management Module.
Output No. 25 of the additional board of this option allows
control of the pump operation - the pump will start up
when the unit starts.
A ow switch (item 29) can be installed to generate an
alarm if there is a problem with the pump.
The volume of the desuperheater circuit water loop must
be as low as possible so that the temperature can increase
rapidly when the unit is started up. The minimum entering
water temperature at the desuperheater is 25C. This may
require the use of a three-way valve (item 31), with a con-
troller and the sensor controlling the minimum required
entering water temperature.
The desuperheater water loop must include a safety valve
and an expansion tank. When selecting these, consider the
water loop volume and the maximum temperature (120C)
when pump operation is stopped (item 20).
12.3.2 - Operating range
Desuperheater Minimum Maximum
Entering water temperature at start-up C 25* 75
air condenser Minimum Maximum
Outside operating temperature C 0** 46
* The entering water temperature at start-up must not be lower than 25C. For
installations with a lower temperature a three-way valve is necessary.
** The minimum outside temperature is 0C . With the winter operation option it is -
20C.
36
12.3.3 - Control conguration with the desuperheater option
This conguration allows the user to enter a setpoint that is
relative to the minimum condensing temperature (default
= 30C) to increase the heating capacity reclaimed at the
desuperheaters, if required.

The percentage of the reclaimed heating capacity compared
with the total capacity rejected by the condenser increases
in proportion to the saturated condensing temperature.
For the control of the setpoint of the minimum saturated
condensing temperature please refet to the Pro-Dialog
control manual for the 30RB units.
Other parameters directly affecting the effective capacity
reclaimed at the desuperheater are principally:
The unit load rates, that decide whether the unit
operates at full load (100%) or part load (depending
on the number of compressors per unit circuit).
The water entering temperature in the desuperheater
as well as the condenser entering air temperature. See
the curve below.

13 - UNITs WITh FaNs WITh avaIlaBlE pREssURE
FOR INDOOR INsTallaTION (OpTION 12)
This option applies to 30RB units installed inside the
building in a plant room. For this type of installation the
hot air leaving the air-cooled condensers is discharged by
the fans to the outside of the building, using a duct system.
The installation of a duct system at the air condenser
discharge line causes a pressure drop due to the resistance
caused by the air ow.

Therefore more powerful fan motors than those used for
the standard units are installed in this option. For each
installation of a unit installed inside a plant room the duct
pressure drops differ, depending on the duct length, duct
section and direction changes.
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 xed-speed
fans as for the standard units.
Use of variable speed up to 19 r/s can overcome the duct
pressure drops while maintaining an optimised air ow per
circuit. All fans in the same circuit, operating at the same
time, have the same speed.
The maximum fan power input for fans with a speed of 19
r/s is increased compared to that of standard fans with a
speed of 15.8 r/s (the coefcient is the same as the cube of
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 condensing
temperature to ensure the best unit energy efciency
(EER) whatever the operating conditions and pressure
drops of the system ductwork.
If necessary for a specic installation, the maximum fan
speed of 30RB units can be xed between 13 and 19 r/s,
using the Service Conguration menu. Consult the 30RB
Pro-Dialog control manual for this modication.
The unit cooling capacity and energy efciency ratio (EER)
varies depending on the duct pressure drops:
- between 0 and 100 Pa the unit cooling capacity is only
slightly affected,
- between 100 and 200 Pa the unit cooling capacity falls
considerably depending on the operating conditions
(outdoor air temperature and water conditions).
Please refer to the curves below to evaluate the impact of
the estimated duct system pressure drop for the
installation and the impact of different full load operating
conditions on the 30RB unit cooling capacity and EER.

13.1 - Installation
All fans in the same refrigerant circuit are controlled by a
single speed variator and therefore all run at the same speed.
Each refrigerant circuit (A, B and C) must have a separate
ducting system to prevent any air recycling between the
condensers of the different refrigerant circuits.
In 30RB units with option 12 each fan is equipped with a
factory-installed connection interface, allowing the connec-
tion to the ducting system for the specic circuit (A, B and
C) for each fan. Please refer to the unit dimensional draw-
ings for the exact dimensions of the connection interface.

Similarly, the four conguration examples shown above
also cover the application on the other 30RB units.
IMPORTANT: The unit duct connection must not create
any mechanical constraint on the fan support deck.
The fan housings and the fan protection grilles must always
remain in their position inside the ducts.
Use bellows or exible sleeves for the duct connection.
At the outlet of each duct provide an access hatch with a
minimum size of 700 x 700 mm to allow motor replacement
and disassembly of the fan wheel.
13.1.2 - Fan motor electrical protection
In case of a locked rotor or an overload, the motors of
each circuit are electrically protected by the circuit drive.
Each drive follows a variable current characteristic, based
on the frequency from 10 to 60 Hz and the number of fans
controlled.
If a fan is not operating correctly, the drive automatically
detects the problem and sends an alert to the Pro-Dialog
display. Please refer to the Pro-Dialog control manual for
the list of specic alarms for this option.
45
14 - BRINE OpTION
This option allows production of brine down to -10C. The
unit is equipped with reinforced evaporator insulation as
well as suction pipe insulation.
The operating range is a function of the suction pressure,
which in turn is a function of:
- the brine type,
- the brine concentration,
- the ow rate,
- the brine temperature,
- the condensing pressure (ambient temperature).
Example: For operation with propylene glycol at 40% and a
brine temperature of -10C (entering temperature -5C), the
maximum ambient operating temperature will be around 38C.
With propylene glycol at 40%
To nd out the operating limits for each unit, based on the
brine type and the brine concentration, please refer to the
selection software.
The evaporator low pressure and frost protection depends
on the amount of antifreeze added to the water circuit
(evaporator approach as well as frost protection are based
on this amount).
It is therefore essential to control the amount of antifreeze
in the water loop at the rst start-up (circulate for 30 minutes
to ensure good homogeneity of the mixture before taking
the sample). Refer to the manufacturers data to dene the
frost protection, based on the concentration rate measured.
The frost protection value (temperature) must be used in
the unit software parameters (see Carrier Service Guide).
This value will allow the denition of the following limits:
1. Evaporator frost protection
2. Low pressure protection
It is recommended that the commissioning of a brine system
is done by Carrier.
For information: The protection values given by our supplier,
based on the antifreeze solutions used in the Carrier
Montluel laboratory, are as follows: (these values can change
for different suppliers).

It is essential to carry out an annual check (minimum) of the
amount of glycol, and adjust the frost protection value in
the software based on the rate measured. This procedure
must be systematic, if water or antifreeze solution is added.
14.2 - Units equipped with hydronic kit
If the antifreeze concentration exceeds 30%, it is recom-
mended to reduce the brine ow rate to prevent over-
loading and over-heating of the motor.
The ow rate limits are given in the table below:
For an application between 32 and 40% and operation at
an outside air temperature between 40 and 48C use linear
interpolation.
IMPORTANT: Never use a glycol concentration of less
than 20%, as the brine will become aggressive and there
will be an increased risk of corrosion of the cast iron
parts of the hydronic kit.

15 - UNIT sTORagE aBOvE 48C (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 sufcient water ow 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 veried by a quick test
procedure.
Open the discharge line valve.
16 - MajOR sysTEM COMpONENTs
16.1 - Compressors
30RB units use hermetic scroll compressors.
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase oil heater,
as standard, complete with a safety device that prevents
compressor start-up if there is a fault at the heater.
As standard, each compressor is equipped with a discharge
valve. As an option each compressor can be equipped with
a suction valve (option No. 92).
Each compressor sub-function is equipped with:
Anti-vibration mountings between the unit chassis
and the chassis of the compressor sub-function.
Suction piping equipped with openings (not visible) to
ensure an even oil level between all compressors.
A non-return valve at the discharge of all compressors.
A pressure safety switch at the discharge of all compres-
sors, located between the compressor and the valve.
16.2 - lubricant
The compressors installed in these units have an oil charge
of 6.7 l to ensure their correct operation.
The oil level check must be done with the unit switched off,
when then suction and discharge pressures are equalised.
The oil level must not be visible in the sight glass (level
below the sight glass). If this is not the case, there is an oil
leak in the circuit. Search and repair the leak, then recharge
oil, so that it reaches a high sight glass level, when the unit
is recharged with refrigerant. The refrigerant dissolved in
the oil raises the level - do not add any more oil.
ATTENTION: Too much oil in the circuit can cause a
unit defect.
NOTE: Use only oils which have been approved for the
compressors. Never use oils which have been exposed to air.
CAUTION: R-22 oils are absolutely not compatible with
R-410A oils and vice versa.
16.3 - Condensers
The 30RB coils are micro-channel condensers made entirely
of aluminium. For some options (see chapter 15 - Options
and Accessories) optional coils with internally grooved
copper tubes with aluminium ns are also available.

16.4 - Fans
The fans are axial Flying Bird fans equipped with rotating
shroud and made of composite recyclable material. Each
motor is xed with transverse supports. The motors are
three-phase, with permanently lubricated bearings and
insulation class F.
47
16.5 - Electronic expansion valve (EXv)
The EXV is equipped with a stepper motor (2785 to 3690
steps, depending on the model) that is controlled via the
EXV board.
The EXV is also equipped with a sightglass that permits
verication of the mechanism movement and the presence
of the liquid gasket.
16.6 - Moisture indicator
Located on the EXV, permits control of the unit charge and
indicates moisture in the circuit. The presence of bubbles
in the sight-glass indicates an insufcient charge or non-
condensables in the system. The presence of moisture
changes the colour of the indicator paper in the sight-glass.
16.7 - Filter drier
The role of the lter drier is to keep the circuit clean and
moisture-free. The moisture indicator shows, when it is neces-
sary to change the element. A difference in temperature
between the lter inlet and outlet shows that the element
is dirty.
16.8 - Evaporator
The evaporator is a shell-and-tube type with two or three
refrigerant circuits. It has been tested and stamped in accor-
dance with applicable pressure codes for a maximum ope-
rating pressure of 2910 kPa refrigerant-side and 1000 kPa
water-side. The seamless copper tubes are nned on the
refrigerant side and expanded into the tube sheets. The water
connection of the heat exchanger is a Victaulic connection.
The evaporator shell has a thermal insulation of 19 mm thick
polyurethane foam, and is equipped with a water drain and
purge. An option with an aluminium jacket is also available.
As an option the evaporator is available with frost protection
(evaporator frost protection option).
The products that may be added for thermal insulation of
the containers during the water piping connection procedure
must be chemically neutral in relation to the materials and
coatings to which they are applied. This is also the case for
the products originally supplied by Carrier SCS.
NOTES: Monitoring during operation, re-qualication,
re-testing and re-testing dispensation:
Follow the regulations on monitoring pressurised
equipment.
It is normally required that the user or operator sets
up and maintains a monitoring and maintenance le.
Follow the control programmes of EN 378-2, annexes
A, B, C and D.
If they exist follow local professional recommendations.
Regularly inspect the condition of the coating (paint)
to detect blistering resulting from corrosion. To do
this, check a non-insulated section of the container
or the rust formation at the insulation joints.
Regularly check for possible presence of impurities
(e.g. silicon grains) in the heat exchange uids. These
impurities maybe the cause of the wear or corrosion
by puncture.
Filter the heat exchange uid check and carry out
internal inspections as described in EN 378-2, annex C.
In case of re-testing take possible maximum pressure
differences, as indicated in (2) above into consideration.
The reports of periodical checks by the user or opera-
tor must be included in the supervision and mainte-
nance le.
Repair
Any repair or modication, including the replacement of
moving parts:
must follow local regulations and be made by qualied
operators and in accordance with qualied procedures,
including changing the heat exchanger tubes
must be made in accordance with the instructions of
the original manufacturer. Repair and modication
that necessitate permanent assembly (soldering,
welding, expanding etc.) must be made using the
correct procedures and by qualied operators.
An indication of any modication or repair must be
shown in the monitoring and maintenance le.
Recycling
The unit is wholly or partly recyclable. After use it contains
refrigerant vapours and oil residue. It is coated by paint.
Operating life
This unit is designed for:
prolonged storage of 15 years under nitrogen charge
with a temperature difference of 20 K per day.
452000 cycles (start-ups) with a maximum difference
of 6 K between two neighbouring points in the
container, based on 6 start-ups per hour over 15
years at a usage rate of 57%.
Excess corrosion thickness
Gas side: 0 mm
Heat exchange uid side: 1 mm for tubular plates in
lightly alloyed steels, 0 mm for stainless steel plates or
plates with copper-nickel or stainless steel protection.
16.9 - Refrigerant
30RB units operate with refrigerant R-410A.
16.10 - high-pressure safety switch
30RB units are equipped with high-pressure safety
switches, calibrated to 4520 kPa.
These pressure switches are located at the discharge of
each compressor.

Replace the stufng box packing of the pump after
10000 hours of operation.
Check the unit operating parameters and compare
them with previous values.
Keep and maintain a maintenance sheet, attached to
each HVAC unit.
All these operations require strict observation of adequate
safety measures: individual protection garments, compliance
with all industry regulations, compliance with applicable
local regulations and using common sense.
18.3 - level 3 (or higher) maintenance
See note below. The maintenance at this level requires
specic skills/approval/tools and know-how and only the
manufacturer, his repre-sentative or authorised agent are
permitted to carry out these operations. These maintenance
operations concern for example:
A major component replacement (compressor,
evaporator),
Any intervention on the refrigerant circuit (handling
refrigerant),
Changing of parameters set at the factory (application
change),
Removal or dismantling of the HVAC unit,
Any intervention due to a missed established
maintenance operation,
Any intervention covered by the warranty.
Note: Any deviation or non-observation of these maintenance criteria will render
the guarantee conditions for the HVAC unit nul and void, and the manufacturer,
Carrier France, will no longer be held responsible.

18.6 - Condenser coil
We recommend, that nned coils are inspected regularly to
check the degree of fouling. This depends on the environment
where the unit is installed, and will be worse in urban and
industrial installations and near trees that shed their leaves.
For coil cleaning, two maintenance levels are used, based
on the AFNOR X60-010 standard:
18 - sTaNDaRD MaINTENaNCE
Air conditioning equipment must be maintained by profes-
sional technicians, whilst routine checks can be carried out
locally by specialised technicians.
Simple preventive maintenance will allow you to get the
best performance from your HVAC unit:
improved cooling performance
reduced power consumption
prevention of accidental component failure
prevention of major time-consuming and costly
interventions
protection of the environment
There are ve maintenance levels for HVAC units, as
dened by the AFNOR X60-010 standard.
18.1 - level 1 maintenance
See note below. Simple procedure can be carried out by
the user:
Visual inspection for oil traces (sign of a refrigerant leak),
Air heat exchanger (condenser) cleaning - see chapter
Condenser coil - level 1,
Check for removed protection devices, and badly
closed doors/covers,
Check the unit alarm report when the unit does not work
(see report in the 30RB Pro-Dialog Plus control manual).

General visual inspection for any signs of deterioration.

18.2 - level 2 maintenance
See note below. This level requires specic know-how in
the electrical, hydronic and mechanical elds. It is possible
that these skills are available locally: existence of a main-
tenance service, industrial site, specialised subcontractor.
In these cases, the following maintenance operations are
recommended.
Carry out all level 1 operations, then:
At least once a year tighten the power circuit electrical
connections (see table with tightening torques opposite).
Check the expansion tank for signs of excessive corro-
sion or gas pressure loss and replace it, if necessary.
Check and retighten all control/command connections,
if required (see table with tightening torques opposite).
Remove the dust and clean the interior of the control
boxes, if required.
Check the presence and the condition of the electrical
protection devices.
Check the correct operation of all heaters.
Replace the fuses every 3 years or every 15000 hours
(age-hardening).
Check the water connections.
Purge the water circuit (see chapter Water ow control
procedure).
Clean the water lter (see chapter Water ow control
procedure).
Fully clean the condensers with a low-pressure jet and
a bio-degradable cleaner (counter-current cleaning -
see chapter Condenser coil - level 2).
51
Level 1
If the condensers are fouled, clean them gently in a
vertical direction, using a brush.
Only work on condensers with the fans switched off.
For this type of operation switch off the HVAC unit if
service considerations allow this.
Clean condensers guarantee optimal operation of
your HVAC unit. This cleaning is necessary when the
condensers begin to become fouled. The frequency of
cleaning depends on the season and location of the
HVAC unit (ventilated, wooded, dusty area, etc.).
With MCHX condensers it is preferable to clean them
with a vacuum cleaner or a high-pressure cleaner
(maximum 68 bar and with 300 mm distance between
the diffuser and the coil).
Level 2
The two cleaning products can be used for any of the
following coil nishes: Cu/Cu, Cu/Al, Cu/Al with Polual,
Blygold and/or Heresite protection.
Clean the coil, using appropriate products.
We recommend TOTALINE products for coil cleaning:
Part No. P902 DT 05EE: traditional cleaning method
Part No. P902 CL 05EE: cleaning and degreasing.
These products have a neutral pH value, do not contain
phosphates, are not harmful to the human body, and can
be disposed of through the public drainage system.
Depending on the degree of fouling both products can be
used diluted or undiluted.
For normal maintenance routines we recommend using 1 kg
of the concentrated product, diluted to 10%, to treat a coil
surface of 2 m
2
. This process can either be carried out
using a high-pressure spray gun in the low-pressure position.
With pressurised cleaning methods care should be taken
not to damage the coil ns. The spraying of the coil must
be done:
- in the direction of the ns
- in the opposite direction of the air ow direction
- with a large diffuser (25-30)
- at a minimum distance of 300 mm from the coil.
It is not necessary to rinse the coil, as the products used
are pH neutral. To ensure that the coil is perfectly clean, we
recommend rinsing with a low water ow rate. The pH
value of the water used should be between 7 and 8.
WARNING: Never use pressurised water without a large
diffuser. Do not use high-pressure cleaners for Cu/Cu and
Cu/Al coils! High pressure cleaners are only permitted
for MCHX coils (maximum permitted pressure 68 bar).
Concentrated and/or rotating water jets are strictly
forbidden. Never use a uid with a temperature above
45C to clean the air heat exchangers.
Correct and frequent cleaning (approximately every three
months) will prevent 2/3 of the corrosion problems.
Protect the control box during cleaning operations.
18.7 - Evaporator maintenance
Check that:
the insulating foam is intact and securely in place.
the cooler heaters are operating, secure and correctly
positioned.
the water-side connections are clean and show no sign
of leakage.

Aquasnap Puron units use high-pressure R-410A refrigerant
(the unit operating pressure is above 40 bar, the pressure
at 35C air temperature is 50% higher than for R-22).
Special equipment must be used when working on the
refrigerant circuit (pressure gauge, charge transfer, etc.).
