Th e minimum volume of an expansion tank to be installed on a closed
circuit can be calculated using the following formula:
V=2 x Vtot x (Pt min - P t max)
where
Vtot= vol. circuit total (in litres)
P t min/max= specifi c weight at the minimum/maximum temperature
reached by the water [kg/dm3].
Th e specifi c weight values at diff erent temperatures for glycol percent-
age values are given in the table.

3.4 Electrical circuit
3.4.1
Checks and connections
!
Before carrying out any operation on the electrical system, make
sure that the appliance is disconnected from the electrical power sup-
ply.
All electrical connections must comply with the applicable regulations
in force in the country of installation.
Initial checks
1) Th e power supply voltage and frequency must correspond to the
values stamped on the chiller nameplate. Th e power supply charac-
teristics must not deviate, even for brief periods, from the tolerance
limits indicated on the electrical diagram , which are +/- 10% for the
voltage; +/- 1% for the frequency.
2) Th e power supply must be symmetrical (the eff ective voltages and
the phase angles of consecutive phases must be equal). Th e maxi-
mum permissible voltage imbalance is 2%.
Connection
1) Th e electrical power supply must be connected to the chiller using a
4-wire cable, comprising 3 phase conductors and an earth conductor,
with no neutral. For minimum cable section, see par. 7.3.
2) Pass the cable through the cable entry on the rear panel of the ma-
chine and connect the phase and neutral to the terminals of the main
isolator switch (QS); connect the earth wire to the earth terminal
(PE).
3) Ensure that supply cable has at its source protection against direct
contact of at least IP2X or IPXXB.
4) On the supply line to the chiller, install a residual-current circuit
English
breaker with a trip rating of (RCCB - IDn = 0.3A), with the current
rating indicated in the reference electrical diagram, and with a short
circuit current rating appropriate to the short circuit fault current
existing in the machine installation area.
Th e nominal current In of the magnetic circuit breaker must be
equal to the FLA with an intervention curve type D.
5) Max. grid impedance value = 0.274 ohm.
Subsequent checks
Check that the machine and the auxiliary equipment are earthed and
protected against short circuit and/or overload.

Once the unit has been connected and the upstream main switch
closed (thereby connecting the power supply to the machine), the
voltage in the electrical circuit will reach dangerous levels. Maximum
caution is required!
3.4.2
General alarm
All the chillers are equipped with an alarm signalling system (see
electrical diagram), comprised of a switching free contact in a terminal
block: this may be used for the connection of an external audible or
visual alarm, or used to provide an input signal for a logic control
system such as a PLC.
3.4.3
ON/OFF remoto
All the chillers can be connected to a remote ON/OFF control.
See the electrical diagram for the connection of the remote ON-OFF
contact.
3.5 Centrifugal version (C)
Used when ducting of the hot air coming from cooling is required.
In fact, the centrifugal fans are able to give the air a useful static pres-
sure that overcomes the pressure losses due to ducting.
Important: Units equipped with centrifugal fans cannot be installed
in open air without ducting. To work correctly, the centrifugal fans re-
quire a minimum counterpressure preventing the electric motor from
"over-revving" and its consequent breaking.
Rules for ducting
1) Each fan must be individually ducted: the fans must be able to work
independently.
2) Th e ducting must have air fl ow are as equal to those of the fans
installed on the unit.
3.6 Water-cooled version (W)
In the water-cooled version, the chillers require a water circuit that
takes the cold water to condenser.
Th e water version chiller is equipped with a pressure regulating valve
at the condenser inlet, whose function is to regulate the water fl ow in
order to always obtain optimum condensation.
Preliminary checks
If the water supply to the condenser is by means of a closed circuit,
perform all the preliminary checks listed for the main water
ICE015-057
circuit (para. 3.3.1).
Connection
1) It is advisable to equip the cooling water circuit with shutoff valves,
enabling the machine to be cut out in case of maintenance.
2) Connect the water delivery/return pipes to the special connections
located on the back of the unit.
3) If the cooling water is "expendable" it is advisable to equip the
circuit with a fi lter at the condenser inlet, in order to reduce the risk
of the surfaces becoming dirtied.
4) If the circuit is of the closed type, make sure it is fi lled with water
and the air properly vented.
