6. Installation conditions
6 .1
The model described in this manual is a component of a system and must be installed by authorised personnel only .
6 .2
Access to the unit for any type of intervention must be reserved to personnel qualified to operate the system, in accordance
with the regulations in force .
6 .3
The place of installation must conform to what is prescribed by local legislation .
6 .4
The support structure must be suitable for the weight of the model in running condition (see Chapter 7) .
6 .5
This unit must not be installed in a potentially explosive or acidic atmosphere or in one that is not compatible with the
materials it is made of (copper, aluminium, steel, polymers).
6 .6
Verify that the unit is installed horizontally .
6 .7
The unit is not designed to act as a support for other machines or structures .
6 .8
Avoid installation of the units next to the cold-room doors .
6 .9
Ensure an adequate free space (approx. 30% of the inner room volume) to allow a proper intake and exhaust air circulation.
Keep the minimum distance so as to take out / insert the heaters. For the installation of more than one unit in the same
cold or air-conditioned room it is necessary to respect the dimensions indicated in "Figure 4" .
6 .10 Particular conditions of installation or operation such as low or beamed rooms, overstorage, obstructed intake and
exhaust air circulation and improper ice build-up due to excessive entry of humidity in room may negatively affect the
stated performance and may cause defects .
6 .11 Standard models may not be suitable for operation in tunnels or blast chilling/rapid freezing cells .
6 .12 The units are equipped with axial motorised fans, therefore they are not suitable for channelling or for supporting additional
static heads . Check with Modine for special requirements .
6 .13 Verify that the operating conditions (temperatures and pressures) are in accordance to those of project.
6 .14 Care must be exercised during the connecting phase in order to avoid possible distortion of the capillary tubes and
shifting of the distributor .
6 .15 Fit the appropriate siphons on the condensate drain connections and assess their efficiency in all working temperatures.
6 .16 This unit must be integrated in an industrial electromagnetic environment, which falls within the emission and immunity
limits of the standards currently in force .
6 .17 Check that the power supply line is suitable for the electrical characteristics of the unit .
6 .18 Check that all electrical connections are in accordance with applicable standards .
6 .19 The unit installer and/or plant operator must ensure the presence of an efficient earthing connection to protect against
indirect electric contacts .
