CHDesign - v2.4

Model: Titan SKY Hi HP R0 SLN 20.2

GENERAL

Full inverter reversible heat pumps with reciprocating compressors and plate heat exchangers. Extended
range, versatile applications.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Titan SKY is a range of air source high efficiency reversible heat pumps with reciprocating compressors
with inverter, and plate heat exchanger. The range uses natural refrigerant R290 with extremely low
GWP and reduced environmental impact. Titan Sky units can produce hot water up to 63°C, and work
with outdoor temperature down to -20°C. Units mount variable speed inverter compressors in order to
maximize the seasonal efficiency and achieve stable thermodynamic regulation in any load condition. The
whole range is characterized by compactness and low refrigerant charge.

REFRIGERANT

Titan Sky heat pumps units are available with R290 refrigerant. The use of R290 refrigerant is indicated
by acronym "R0", which indicates a GWP level close to 0.
Refrigerant R290 GWP(Global Warming Potential)=3*ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential).
The refrigerant is a pure natural fluid.
R290 is classified as group 1 fluid according to PED. It is also classified as A3 according to ASHRAE
standard 34:
• non-toxic;
• Inflammable.
The excellent GWP value may be an advantage in projects where:
• min. targets are adopted for the containment of the environmental footprint;
• it is possible to receive incentives or other benefits that are applicable in some countries or are
connected to specific plant design criteria.
(*) GWP (AR5), pursuant to IPCC V, evaluated over a span of 100 years.

STRUCTURE

The structure of the unit is made of galvanized sheet-iron coated with polyester powder in RAL
5017/7035 at 180°C, which makes it highly resistant to weather conditions. The structure is a load-
bearing frame, with removable panelling lined with sound absorbing expanded polyurethane

matting. All screws and bolts are stainless steel.

COMPRESSORS

Compressors are semi-hermetics reciprocating in single or double circuit, with a inverter for each
compressor that modulates the working frequency according to the load request. Compressor are
optimized for use with propane. All compressors are equipped with crankcase heater, suction and
delivery valves as standard Compressors are ATEX certified. The compressors are enclosed in a
dedicated technical compartment which can be accessed by removing the panels. Depending on the
model, there are the following compressor configurations:
• the models with a single compressor (x.1) require the use of a single compressor with modulating
inverter in a circuit.
• the models with two compressors (x.2) require the use of a compressor with modulating inverter for
each circuit. The speed of the modulating compressor is varied, depending on the total heat load,
roughly between 30 and 105 rps. 30Hz and 65Hz.
The modulating compressors are driven by inverters. This also has the following functions:
• management of acceleration and deceleration ramps
• management of the operating envelope of the modulating compressor
• management of the alarms and safety devices of the modulating compressor
The use of a modulating compressor allows the total inrush current to be reduced because it is always
started with an acceleration ramp.

SOURCE-SIDE HEAT EXCHANGER

The exchangers are made with finned pack coils with copper tubes and aluminium fins. The coils are
optimized for heating mode operation. The coils have an increased fin pitch to reduce frost formation and
to facilitate the outflow of condensed water during defrosting. Options are available for installation in
environments with a particularly aggressive atmosphere or in coastal or highly industrialized areas. See
section: "Description of accessories". At the base of the coils there is a collection tray as standard which
facilitates the drain of condensate during the defrost. The unit is fitted as standard with a heating cable
glued o the bottom of the condensate tray to prevent ice formation.

FANS

The fans are axial fans, directly coupled to a 6-pole electric motor, with integrated thermal overload
protection (Klixon®) and IP 54 protection rating. The fan includes the shroud, designed to optimize its
efficiency and reduce noise emission to a minimum, and the safety guard. The control manages the
speed of the fans through a phase cutting speed adjuster, in order to optimize the operating conditions
and efficiency of the unit. The fan speed regulator is supplied standardly. This control also has the effect
of reducing the noise level of the unit: in fact, the typical conditions under which the control will be
modulating the speed of the fans are those of the night, spring and autumn. For units equipped with EC
fans (option), the same function is carried out using the electronically commutated motor of the fans.

USER-SIDE HEAT EXCHANGER

The exchanger is a braze-welded stainless steel plate heat exchanger, insulated with a shroud of closed-
cell insulating material. The exchanger is also equipped with thermostat-controlled anti-freeze heater to
protect it from ice formation when the unit is not running. The operation of the unit is optimized in

Management of defrost cycles

For defrost management, the control of the unit uses a sliding intervention threshold, depending on the
pressures inside the unit and the external air temperature. By puttingtogether all this information, the
control can identify the presence of ice on the coil and activates the defrosting sequence only when
necessary, so as to maximize the energy efficiency of the unit. Sliding management of the defrost
threshold ensures that, as the absolute humidity of outdoor air decreases, the frequency of the defrost
cycles gradually decreases because they are carried out only when the ice formed on the coil actually
penalizes performance. The defrost cycle is fully automatic: during the initial stage, a defrost is carried
out by cycle reversal with the fans stopped. As soon as the frost on the coil has molten to a suitable
level, the unit resumes operation in heat pump mode. In the two-compressor units, there is aeraulic
separation between the two circuits, and this allows the management of independent defrosts with
reater stability in the production of hot water.

TESTING

All the units are factory-tested and supplied complete with oil and refrigerant.

CONTROLS AND SAFETY DEVICES

All the units are fitted with the following control and safety
components:
• user-side water temperature probe

In the event that the leak detector identifies a gas leak,
the following safety procedures are implemented:
• immediate shutdown of the unit
• interruption of the three-phase main power supply
• activation of the extraction fan
• activation of the ventilation fans of the electrical panel

SLN - Super low noise unit

The standard unit requires all compressors to be enclosed within a fully acoustically insulated
compartment with sound-absorbing material with interposed sound-proofing material. The SLN version
units use fans with speed regulators with reduced air flow in chiller operation. The speed reduction of the
fans is such that, under nominal operating conditions, the air flow rate and noise level are lower than
those of the basic version of the unit. In any case, the use of the speed adjuster to reduce the air flow
rate allows rotation of the fans at maximum speed when external air temperature conditions are
particularly critical and therefore guarantees the same operating limits as the high efficiency version. In
heating mode, the fans always run at 100% speed.

RA - Anti-freeze heaters
This accessory consists of heaters inserted on the user-side heat exchanger to prevent damage to the
hydraulic components due to the formation of ice during periods when the machine is stopped. The
power of the anti-freeze heaters is only a few tens of watts depending on the model of unit, namely what
is sufficient to prevent breakage of the components. The control monitors (even when the unit is on
standby) the heat exchanger outlet probe and when this measures a water temperature below or equal
to 5°C (or 2°C below the set point temperature, with differential of 1°C), it switches on the pump (if
present) and starts the anti-freeze heater. If the temperature of the outgoing water reaches 4°C (or 3°C
below the set point) the anti-freeze alarm will also be triggered; this stops the compressor while keeping
the heaters active.

FLUS - Water flow switch

As an alternative to the differential pressure switch (standard flow sensor), it is possible to request the
paddle flow switch as accessory. This detects when there is no water flow to the user-side exchanger and
sends a signal to the control of the unit that will stop the compressors to prevent damage to the
exchangers.
The flow switch is supplied with the unit (installation by the customer) and replaces the water differential
pressure switch (standard).

A43N - 400/3+N/50 power supply

400/3+N/50 power supply

SETD - Double set point by digital input

The change between the first and second set point can be done by keyboard or digital input. For the
series for which it is not possible to have “Summer/winter selection by digital input” and “Double set
point by digital input” at the same time, our standard will have summer/winter selection by keyboard
only, while the Double set point will remain by digital input.
For operating conditions other than standard, unless otherwise specified in the order for the second set
point, the controller will be set at the factory:
by adding 5°C to the main cooling set point
by subtracting 5°C from the main heating set point
If necessary this value will however be limited to remain within the operating limits of the unit.

ARU - Stopping of the unit due to temperatures below the operating limit
This accessory is available for reversible units and its purpose is to stop the compressors of the unit
when it is operating in heat pump mode and the external air temperature falls below a minimum set

temperature: the controller will stop the compressors before the unit goes into low pressure alarm, so
avoiding having to manually restart the machine.
This accessory is particularly useful when the heat pump is installed in an area where the external air
temperature will certainly fall below the minimum temperature allowed by the operating limits (in
accordance with the set set point).
When the external air temperature returns above the set threshold temperature, the unit will
automatically resume operation without it being necessary to do anything.
For units equipped with integrated pump, the pump will always be kept running so as to prevent ice
formation and ensure correct reading of the temperature and antifreeze safety probes at all times.
The stopping temperature must be set based on the set point temperature and in accordance with what
is allowed by the operating limits of the machine.
This accessory must obligatorily be combined with the "Set point compensation depending on external
air temperature" accessory.
Unless otherwise specified when ordering, the default setting of the unit will be the following:
- Negative summer compensation: Summer set point SET_c2 = 12°C on the return temperature with
external air Te_c2 = 35°C, SET_c1 = 17°C on the return temperature with Te_c1 = 25°C
- Winter set point set at 40°C on the return temperature: SET_h
- Stopping of the unit due to external air temperature below -7°C: Te_h
A different stopping temperature from the default temperature can be set, provided that it is compatible
with the operating limits of the unit.

PBA - BaCnet protocol over TCP-IP

The control is set for using the BACnet protocol (instead of Modbus) on the Ethernet port.
By default, the programming gives read-only access to the control of the unit. Enabling of read/write
access should be requested when ordering.

AG - Rubber vibration dampers

These are supplied as a separate package from the unit and must be installed on site following the
assembly diagram supplied. They allow you to reduce the vibrations transmitted from the unit to the
surface it is standing on.

RAM - Antifreeze oversized heater for condensate drip tray

The unit is fitted as standard with a heating cable glued to the bottom of the condensate tray to prevent
formation of ice. RAM accessory provide an oversizes electrical heaters system. Heaters are managed
with a thermostat , activated depending on outside air temperature. Recommended accessory for
installations in regions with temperatures below -5°C or in the case of installations particularly exposed
to cold winds.
