OPTIONALS COMPONENTS

Inverter compressors
KEYTER PACIFICA INVERTER version (KWE-IVS4W) with inverter compressor for maximum energy
efficiency.
This version includes the new generation inverter technology compressor with built-in frequency
converter and integrated oil injection management, allowing a continuous regulation of the capacity
between 25% and 100 % of the nominal capacity.
Frequency drives are used as a mean to modify the electric supply frequency to the electric motors,
thus regulating the unit capacity.
If the discharge temperature exceeds the warning level of 130ºC, the inverter compressor drops in
speed by 10 Hz for the next 3 minutes. The compressor continues to drop 10 Hz for each 3 minutes
for as long as the temperature is over the warning level. If the discharge temperature exceeds the
emergency level of 145ºC, the compressor is stopped.

Electronic expansion valve

Electronic expansion valve as option, parametrised for the selected refrigerant and operation, to
improve the energy efficiency of the unit.
Standard in KEYTER PACIFICA INVERTER version.
The board Field-Bus enables the control of the electronic expansion valve driver by RS485@MODBUS
communication.

Options for Low Outdoor Temperature

For units installed in localities where it is expected that is possible to have low outdoor temperatures,
it is recommended the following options must be included in the units:
- Anti-freeze electrical resistance in electric panel.
- Anti-freeze electrical resistance in heat exchanger or plates heat exchangers of sanitary
hot water recovery.
- Electrical resistance in external condensate tray.

Optional Protection for External Coil

KEYTER PACIFICA range has available the following options for outdoor coil corrosion protection:
- COPPERFINTM: condensing coil of copper tube and copper fins (coastal protection) and
high strength aluminum alloy frames.
- ALUCOASTTM: Condensing coil of copper tube and marine aluminum alloys fins of high
resistance (coastal protection), with aluminum alloy frame (hydrophilic protection).
- GREYCOAST: Condensing coil of copper tube and aluminum fins pre-lacquered with
polymer (hydrophobic protection).
- BLYGOLD®: Condensing coil copper tube and aluminum fins, covered with post-
lacquered from Blygold Polual (coastal protection).
- BLUECOASTTM: Condensing coil of copper tube and aluminum fins, pre-lacquered with
polyurethane (hydrophilic or waterproof protection).

Partial Heat Reclaim

Hot gas partial heat reclaim system for sanitary hot water.
In versions with this option, the units use AISI 316 stainless steel brazed plate heat exchangers for
recovering the heating energy, always covered with thermal insulation. This heat exchanger is placed
in the discharge of the compressor as a desuperheater. It is not recommended to use this option
when water temperature is less than 30ºC.
The condensing heat recovery allows to recover up to 20% approximately of the unit condensing
power, depending on the model and the operation conditions, which is useful for reducing energy
consumption of the installations where sanitary hot water is needed.

Total heat recovery

The total condensing heat recovery allows the possibility of using the entire heat of condensation of
refrigeration units in sanitary hot water applications or industrial processes or hot water heating.
In this case the hot gas is diverted using solenoid valves from the main condenser to the recovery
condenser. The recovery heat exchangers are always covered with thermal insulation.

Please check with our sales department for this optional according to model.

MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Free-Cooling
Integrated free-cooling system through an external coil for free-cooling and a three ways valve.
This option allows to take advantage of the outdoor air energy when external conditions are suitable
to realize the energy exchange with the water of the installation. The modules include a three ways
valve that sends glycol water from the installation to the unit refrigerant circuit exchanger or to the
freecooling outdoor coil in case of the outdoor conditions are suitable.
The free-cooling configuration enables great savings in the system management costs in applications
where cold water is required, mainly in climatic zones where there is a large number of hours per year
with low temperatures and cooling is required during cold seasons, such as industrial processes, data
centers and telecommunications, malls or buildings with large internal gains.
When the outdoor air temperature is lower than the system return water temperature, the FREE-
COOLING system retrieves the cold of the air and reduces the compressor work until completely off in
the most favorable conditions.
The higher the water temperature cooled in the system (example 10-15ºC instead of 7-12ºC), the
greater the scope of the Free-cooling system, and therefore the energy saving. The Free-Cooling
configuration is indicated specially in buildings or facilities in which at least, at certain times a year,
the outdoor air reaches very low temperatures.
By this reason, it is necessary to review the climatic conditions and check if the liquid must be
protected against the risk of freezing by adding additives substances, as ethylene-glycol and
propylene-glycol. The percentage of glycol in the solution depends on the minimum temperature
value provided in the installation area (please see page 50).

In case of contact with eyes:

▪ If substance has got into eyes, immediately wash out with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
▪ Never rub your eyes or skin if you have come in contact with refrigerant and do not allow
the patient to tightly shut the eyes. If contact lenses are used, they must be removed.
▪ It is important to get the person to a doctor immediately.

In case of burn by refrigerant skin contact:

▪ Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, take off all
contaminated clothing immediately.
▪ Do not cover the affected area with clothes, oil, bandages.

▪ Equipment and components under pressure

These products incorporate equipment or components under pressure. The characteristics of this
equipment/these components are given on the nameplate or in the required documentation,
supplied with the products.

▪ You should only use the refrigerant shown on the nameplate of the unit.
Use oils recommended by the manufacturer, respecting the specifications of the oils.
Always use refrigerants premium. Never use other unapproved products (mixture of refrigerants,
hydrocarbons, etc.).

▪ Take into account safety recommendations of working at heights.

If you install the units it is necessary to pay attention to the safety

recommendations of working at heights, and as appropriate restraint
harnesses out.

If you install these units in outdoor facilities, pay attention to the

prevailing wind in the area. Removing the panels with excessive wind
may incur danger of injury from falling, keep in mind that the panels
can throw you off the working area due to wind force effect

▪ Precautions for long time operation stand-by periods.

In the event of long time operation stop, proper precaution needs to be taken to prevent
freezing: empty the entire system or add antifreeze to the hydraulic system.

Don’t leave the unit with water inside the circuit during the winter or
when it is in stand by, unless water is properly mixed with glycol.

21
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

▪ Use of antifreeze additives in the water circuits

In case of operation with water temperatures below +5ºC, or if the outdoor temperature may be
below +5ºC in certain temporary conditions, it is recommended the use of antifreeze additives, as
mono-ethylene glycol or propylene glycol.
Mono-ethyilene glycol
Mono-ethylene glycol (called ethylene glycol also) is an organic compound that has a molecular
formula such as CH2OHCH2OH. Ethylene glycol is widely used as an antifreeze and as an automotive
heat transfer fluid. It is a clear, colourless and virtually odorless liquid completely soluble in water.

Mono-ethylene glycol is toxic and should be handled with all necessary precautions. Appropriate
human safety products such as splash protection goggles, lab coats, steam respirators, gloves and
boots should be used also with this product while handling and applying chemicals. Splashes on the
skin should be washed with water immediately. In case of eye spatter, rinse with fresh water and get
medical attention.
Ethylene glycol is corrosive and toxic. Ingestion can lead to death.

Typical data for the MEG. Consult actual commercial data with the specific manufacturer used in the
installation.

Propylene glycol
For applications requiring increased safety, such as food applications, propylene glycol should be
used as a substitute for mono-ethylene glycol. In these cases, the propylene glycol used must have an
approved chemical formulation for processing and direct contact with food products, which should be
checked with the supplier of the anti-freezing solution.
Propylene glycol is a chemical, the use of which is classified as safe, both for health and the
environment, if it complies with the established standards, as regards the percentages of content;
however, its mishandling in concentration amounts and accidental contact with the mucous
membranes by intake or inhalation, may cause irritations, allergies and discomfort in the respiratory
and digestive system.
Its toxic action on the respiratory system, once the powders, gases or vapors of industrial propylene
glycol, due to high temperatures, are inhaled, can cause irritation of the nostrils, throat, gills and
lungs.
Accidentally ingesting considerable amounts of undiluted propylene glycol, negatively impacting your
health and causing temporary discomfort such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, as well as
irreversible damage to the digestive system, such as ulcers, lacerations and to poisoning.
In addition, in the extreme case of being administered intravenously, it becomes a deadly poison.

The main recommendation is to manipulate propylene glycol, in spacious and ventilated places;
dressed with masks and gloves; immediately wash the affected body surface; take antiallergic or apply
antibacterial, in case of rash; and maintain contact with your nearest health center.

AxiTop® diffuser installation instructions (optional)

Axitop is a diffuser which is placed directly over the fence of axial fans diameters 800 and 910, and
that reduces the noise level of acoustic pressure directly up to 7.2 dB (A). It can also be used to
enhance the fan, giving a 9% performance.
AxiTop is supplied as a separate kit inside the unit in order to be assembled in the facility.

Before beginning assembly, make

sure the engine model corresponds
to the model supplied AXITOP.
Several types of AXITOP depending
on the engine and the diameter of the
nozzle. To do so check the label (see
diagram above). Check that you have
the support rings (A) and the terminal
box (E).

COMMISSIONING
Commissioning and start-up must be carried out by a qualified technician, with qualification
certificates according to local regulation.

Previous checks
Before start-up the units, read and understand this operating instructions completely and carry out
the following checks:
▪ Verify if the complete installation, including the refrigerant system, is according to the
installations drawings, dimensional drawings, system piping/instrumentation diagrams and the
wiring diagrams. Follow national regulations for these checks.
▪ Ensure all electrical connections tightness.
▪ Verify that all safety devices are satisfied, especially the high pressure switches.
▪ Check all the panels are correctly fitted with the appropiate screws.
▪ Verify that there are no refrigerant leaks.
▪ Check the drain connections.
▪ Ensure that the electrical supply is the same as the voltage on the name plate.
▪ Check that the supply of the electronic control is connected according to the electrical diagram of
the unit.
▪ Check the piping are in good conditions.
▪ Verify that the water filter is clean and it is correctly positioned in place.
▪ If you have worked inside the unit, check that you have not left extraneous objects or tools inside.
▪ Make sure the equipment location comply with the minimum safety distances for maintenance
and service (please see page 105).
▪ Make sure that compressors float freely on the rubber isolators.
▪ Do not loosen or remove the support mounting bolts.
▪ The compressor has a sump resistor to assure the separation between the refrigerant and the oil
in the housing. Before initial startup of the unit or after a long shotdown period, it is necessary to
activate the sump resistor four hours in advance. If the resistor cannot be enabled early enough,
the compressor must be heated otherwise to separate the oil from the refrigerant. This operation
is important, especially at low ambient temperatures commissioning.
▪ The unit includes a sight glass. Check the compressor oil level.
▪ Make sure the water pump starts several minutes before the compressor start-up. Before starting-
up the unit, check all the connections of the hydraulic circuit, as connection of evaporator and
condenser or connections between water inlets and outlet. Water pump will be preferably
upstream, so the heat exchanger will be under positive pressure. Units with version P, with pumps
provided from factory, have the pump upstream of the heat exchanger, please take into account
this criteria in case of units with version S which you install a pump in the facilities.

35
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

▪ A filter must be installed in the water circuit upstream the heat exchanger. This filter must stop all
the particles higher than 1 mm in diameter and must be placed at 1 m maximum from the heat
exchanger inlet.
▪ Check the correct phase sequence of the unit components: check the rotation direction of the
elements (fans, compressors and fans…). Compressors are equipped in header with a three phase
control relay. The (standard) basic model has only phase failure and direction of rotation. The
sophisticated model (optional) also detects phase unbalance, undervoltage and overvoltage.
If all parameters are correct, the compressors will properly rotate (the correct compressor’s
direction of rotation can be checked when the pressure on the suction side decreases and the
pressure on the discharge side increases when the compressor is activated). If the connextion is
wrong, the rotation will be reversed causing a high noise level and a reduction in the amount of
current consumed.

A compressor runs backwards makes an abnormal noise. The

compressor will turn upside down for a while until it fails completely.
Avoid rotating compressors backwards long time.

If any of the elements counter-rotating to the right, cut off the main
supply voltage bycutting off the main switch and reverse the two
phases, until all elements rotate in right direction.

Occasionally, when the compressor stops and starts, it is possible to hear a metallic noise
because of the spirals of the compressor. It is not a problem, this is normal.

With electronic axial fans, check also that they adapt their rotational speed to the evaporation
or condensation pressure.

▪ The unit must operate with the correct water flow rate, it is very impotant. Do not start up the air
conditioning system until the water temperature reaches the set temperature.
Check that selected water pump is valid according to the pressures drop in the hydraulic circuit.
To calculate the operating flow rate, measure the temperature difference between the water
outlet and inlet.
If the unit operates at a low flow rate, it will damage the components including the heat
exchanger; if the unit operates at a high flow rate, it would worsen the unit performance.
The evaporation process is also sensitive and potentially unstable. Very small changes in the
operation of the heat exchange process have important effects on system performance. For
example, a change of one degree in evaporation temperature changes the COP by approximately
3%. An unstable process could also cause the evaporation temperature to fluctuate, with a
potential risk of freezing in the evaporator.

36
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Therefore it is necessary to verify that the values selected for the sizing of the installation are
located within the following graph, which shows the appropriate work points for the operation of
the plate exchangers in relation to with the water outlet temperature of the exchanger and the
the temperature difference (DT) in it. These values are also related to the water flow through the
exchanger, as the higher the water flow the temperature difference is lower.

Water outlet temperatures below 5ºC require the use of glycoled water. The green area indicates the
allowed operation area without changing the heat exchanger. The grey area requires technical consultation
to our commercial department, as it requires change of the heat exchanger.

Examples :
Unit with water outlet at 7ºC : the recommended DT is 5ºC. The unit could work with DT between
2.6ºC and 6.3ºC with the standard heat exchanger. You can work with higher DT, but it requires
consulting Keyter's commercial department to verify the operation of the unit, so that it will usually
require the change from heat exchanger to a special one.

Unit with water outlet at -2ºC : the mandatory use of glycol is required, in the percentage
recommended in the tables in the section corresponding to glycolwater. The recommended DT is 4ºC,
and the permissible DT are between 2ºC and 4.4ºC. To have a DT of up to 6ºC, it is necessary to study
a special heat exchanger.

The graph above does not include the effect of fouling that can be produced. Waters that can cause
high fouling mean the maximum temperature diffrerence values are lower.

37
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Start-up
▪ Start-up and operating tests must be carried out with a thermal load applied. Check that the
water flow rate circulating through the heat exchanger are correct.
▪ Connect the power supply and turn on the system.
▪ Check readings of the manometers. The value of the readings depends on weather conditions.
Check subcooling and overheating to verify that the refrigerant charge is appropriate to the
operating conditions. Compare temperatures of evaporation and condensation with the design
conditions.
▪ Check also operation conditions (flows and consumptions) and verify that the water flows and
pressures provided to the facility hydraulic circuit are as required
▪ Check the water temperature.
▪ After 15 minutes aproximately of operation, check that there are no bubbles through the sight
glass on the liquid line.
The presence of bubbles may indicate that a part of the refrigerant charge has been released in
one or more points. It is important to remove these leaks before proceeding. Repeat the start-up
procedure after removing the leaks.
▪ While starting the unit, fill the commissioning test report (see page 40 of this manual) to be sure
that the unit is correctly installed and ready to operate.
▪ After having been working several hours, main system parameter should be verified to be sure
that the system is working properly or it is needed to make some adjustment:
- Check the water inlet and outlet temperature in the evaporator
- If possible, check the level of the water flow rate in the evaporator
- The absorbed current upon the start of the compressor and in stabilized
operation
- Check reading of the manometers
For further information, please refer to the control manual of the unit.

 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

MAINTENANCE
In order to make effective the warranty, it is necessary to have a maintenance contract signed with a
proper specialized company validated by Keyter Service. The maintenance contract must be signed
from the date of commissioning and maintenance must be actually performed.

KEYTER KWE units require a regular maintenance to guarantee their proper operation and, therefore,
extend their service life and reduce operating costs.
All maintenance tasks must be carried out by qualified technical staff and with the correct materials.

It is mandatory to disconnect the unit from the mains before

performing maintenance operations, in order to prevent any form
of damage to persons.

Before any operation on a refrigerant circuit, it is mandatory to remove the refrigerant charge
completely.
Always use original spare parts to ensure proper operation of the unit.

The maintenance periods are indicated below for information purposes only, since these might vary
according to the type of installation.

Sensors
To ensure a correct operation of the unit, check daily the temperature of the leaving water.
Every three months check the position and fixation of all sensors.

Cooling Circuit
Check all the setpoints, the superheating and subcooling values every three months and take pressure
and temperature readings of the system elements. Note these values down on the maintenance
checklist.
Perform a test to check for leaks and check the operating pressures, comparing them with the
corresponding values indicated on the start-up sheet.
Never exceed the specified maximum operating pressures.

Refrigeration components
Every three months check the tightness of the connections in the refrigerant circuit. If it is necessary
because of the prensence of oil leaks, carry out a leak test.
For leak tests only use dry nitrogen. Never use gas or air with oxygen to purge lines or to pressurise
the unit, because oxygen reacts violently with grease and oil and it could cause an explosion with
serious or even fatal consequences in the installation.
If a gas leak is detected it is necessary to remove and fully recover the refrigerant load. Pressurize the
circuit with dry nitrogen. If there are no leaks, make vacuum and then charge with refrigerant.

Electrical components
Verify once a month that all the electrical components are free from corrosion and they do not show
any overload signal.
Shut off the unit and verify all screws and electrical connections are correctly tighted.
Switch on and switch off manually, without tension, all the contactors and the magnetothermic
switches.

 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Coils
Clean the coils to guarantee the correct operation of this heat exchanger, and therefore an optimum
performance of the unit. Coils must be cleaned every three months. However, in the case of
installations with a high content of dust in the atmosphere, they must be cleaned at least once a
month.
To access inside the unit, it is necessary to remove the register.
Clean the coils with water and a neutral pH cleaning product. Dry them with pressurised air after
cleaning.
The copper fans and pipes of the coils are very fragile. Do not use brushes or cleaning elements that
could deform the fans and damage the coil. Never use pressurised water.

Fans
Every three months check that the outdoor fans are rotating in the correct direction and check that
the vibration and noise levels are within the limits. Check the intensity of the three phases of the fan
and compare them with the nominal value on the electrical wiring diagram.
At least every six months check, by visual inspection:
- contact protection cover for intactness or damage. Repair or replacement them if are
damaged.
- device for damage to blades and housing. Replace them.
- fastening the cables
- insulation of cables for damage. If they are damaged, please replace the cables.
- impeller for wear/deposits/ corrosion and damage. In this case, clean or replace the
impeller.
- Tightness of cable gland. Retight it or replace if damaged.

Drain
Check the condensates drain of the unit and make sure it is not clogged and that the unit can drain
these correctly.

Anti-vibration mountings
Twice a year check the anti-vibration mountings of the components (compressors, etc) and replace if
they are damaged.

Register
Check the sealing gaskets status specially in the electrical panel every 6 months.

Compressors
Compressors are provided with the necessary charge of lubricating oil. During normal compressor
operation, and as long as the compressor works with correct efficiency, this load should be sufficient
for the entire life of the compressor. Nevertheless check the oil level during the operation of the unit.
If the compressor needs to be replaced (because of a fault or if burnt), please contact the technical
service.

44
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Oil level
Perform a visual inspection of the oil level through the liquid line sight glass once a week.
Check the acidity of oil in the refrigerant circuit once every three years and after any intervention in
the refrigerant circuit.
Compressors are lubricated with polyvinil oil PVE (type Polyolester POE Copeland 3MAF 32 cST,
Danfoss POE 160 SZ, ICI Emkarate RL 32 CF, Mobil EAL Artic 22 CC).
Remember that this type of oil is highly hygroscopic, and therefore it is very important that it is not
left exposed to the weather for extended periods, as this would require the replacement of the oil.

Sight glass
The sight glass is used to inspect the refrigerant flow and the humidity (%) of the refrigerant.
The presence of bubbles indicates that the dehydrating filter is clogged or the refrigerant charge of
the unit is not sufficient.
Inside the sight glass is a colour indicator. By comparing the color of the indicator with the scale in
the sight-glass ring, the percentage of refrigerant humidity can be calculated. If excessive, replace the
filter cartridge, use the appliance for one day, and then check humidity percentage again. If this value
of humidity is within the default range, no other operations are required. If the humidity percentage is
still too high, replace the dehydrating filter again, turn on the unit and operate the unit for another
day.

Dehydrating filter
The refrigeration circuits are provided with dehydrating filters.
The presence of air bublles in the sight glass indicates the filter is clogged. This can be indicated also
by the difference between the temperatures measured downstream from and upstream of the drying
filter. Once the cartridge has been cleaned, if there are still some air bubbles, it indicates that the unit
has lost a part of the refrigerant charge in one or more points; in this case, check and identify these
points and repare it.

Sump heater
Every three months, check the sump heater to ensure that it is operating correctly and that it remains
tight enough to the compressor.

High and Low Pressure safety switches

Install a pressure gauge of high and low pressure and verify that the safety switches of the unit are
operating correctly. Check it every three months.

Hydraulic components
The maintenance tasks for these components are the following:
- Check once a year hydraulic piping status. If it shows water leaks, please contact with a skilled
technician.
- Clean the heat-exchanger every 6 months with specific cleaner. Please contact with a skilled
technician.
- A water filter must be placed always at water heat exchanger inlet. This hydraulic filter is not
included as standard, but it can be supplied as optional.
In any case, every three months clean the water filter and take into account all the precautions for
water circuits under pressure.

45
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Heat exchanger
Verify that the water side of the heat exchanger is perfectly clean. For this, measure weekly the
pressure drop water side or measure the temperatures of the refrigerant entering and leaving the
heat exchanger, and compare it to the evaporation or condensation temperatures.
A great difference between these temperatures would indicate a low efficiency of the heat exchanger.
In this case the exchanger should be cleaned by chemical cleaning, because it could be that the
exchanger is dirty. This maintenance tasks must be carried out by authorised technical staff.

Corrosion behaviour of plate heat exchanger

As a general rule it is strongly recommended that the filling water input must be previously filtered
and treated.
These units are designed for closed water circuits.
In the hydraulic circuit, which principal component is the heat exchanger, there can be problems of
corrosion that could involve the break of it if water characteristics are not suitable.
The table below shows the corrosion behaviour on the components of the heat exchanger versus the
water with different compositions:

46

 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

+ Good resistance under nominal conditions

0 Corrosion problems may occur especially when more factors are valued 0
- Use is not recommended

[1] Sulfates and nitrates works as inhibitions for pitting corrosion caused by chlorides in PH environments
[2] In general low pH (below 6) increase corrosion risk and high pH (above 7.5) decrease the corrosion risk
[3] Fe3+ and Mn4+ are strong oxidants and may increase the risk for localised corrosion on stainless steels.

The guide on the previous table is an attempt to give a picture of the corrosion resistance of
stainless steels and brazing materials in tap water at room temperature. In this table a
number of important chemical components are listed, however the actual corrosion is a very
complex process influenced by many different components in combination. The previous
table is therefore a considerable simplification and should not be overvalued.

Maximum temperature (Tmax) depending on the Chloride content (Cl-):

Good behaviour
It may occur corrosion if any other factor is in yellow
Use not recommended

Prevention of corrosion on Copper

Low oxygen concentration. If lees than than 0.1 ppm, pitting does not occur.
High content of HCO3 - & Cl- ions decreases the danger of corrosion.
High content of SO4 2- & NO3 - ions increases the danger of corrosion.
Recommended pH is 6.5 < pH < 9.5.
Recommended content of CO2 ≤ 44 ppm (1 mol/m3).
Surface water instead of well water. The organic compounds in surface water act as natural inhibitors.
Organic material containing ammonia and sulphur compounds increases the corrosion danger.
Magnetite (Fe3O4) particles increases the danger.
No crevices or surface irregularities, no stagnant water.
A carbon film (e.g. from decomposition of oil after soldering) on the surface increases corrosion
danger.

MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Prevention of Corrosion against the use of Chlorinated Water

Chlorinated water should be avoided to be introduced directly in heat exchangers unless a specific
water analysis is taken into account and values of chemical compounds in the water are under the
limits shown in the table of heat exchangers chemical values limits for water. Otherwise chlorinated
water should not be introduced in heat exchangers directly.
Swimming pools are one of the typical installations when chlorinated water is directly introduced in
the heat exchanger to carry out heating of chlorinated water in swimming pools in the condenser of a
heat pump, representing especially a problem for stainless steel, because copper is less sensitive to
chlorine corrosion.
As chlorine is added and transformed to chloride ions, the concentration of chloride ions gradually
increases. In these cases, the chloride ion concentration could be high enough for the chloride ions
together with the free chlorine to cause pitting corrosion, setting the heat exchangers into risk of
destruction. Despite this, it is easier to supervise the chlorination in large public pools than in small
private pools, because public pools usually have a skilled maintenance engineer, which private pools
do not usually have.
The cases with swimming pools should be carefully studied and the recommendation is to avoid
introducing swimming pool water directly into the heat exchanger.
Swimming pools directly treated with ozone and with salt are even more aggressive for heat
exchangers, so it is also forbidden to introduce this type of water directly into them.

Optionally, in applications with high chloride content may be advisable to use stainless steels with
high chromium - molybdenum content or coaxial cupronickel or titanium shell and tube exchanger.
Using a good filter to the exchanger inlet with proper maintenance is essential to ensure the reliability
of applications.
Use caution in applications using reverse osmosis water, as they present very aggressive pH
values for metal minerals. All these assumptions not contemplated within the standard
applications of the equipment should be consulted at the factory.

Non-compliance with any of the recommendations indicated in this document

to keep the water from the heat exchanger within the values indicated in the
table above, will lead to the loss of warranty of the equipment.

MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Glycol concentration
Twice a year check the glycol concentration in the water circuits (see the glycol concentration on page
50).
Antifreeze solutions such as monoethylene glycol or propylene glycol are necessary in the case of
working with water temperatures below 5ºC, or if the equipment may be located in environments that
reach temperatures below 5ºC.
After diluting in water the fluid provides excellent protection against freezing: it is advisable to add
demineralized water to avoid possible deposits. An analysis of fluid concentration is recommended at
least once a year, to avoid any risk of obstruction.

Monoethylen glycol:
Monoethylene glycol (also called ethylene glycol) is an organic compound that has a molecular
formula such as CH2OHCH2OH. Ethylene glycol is widely used as an antifreeze and as an automotive
heat transfer fluid. It is a clear, colourless and practically odorless liquid completely soluble in water.
Ethylene glycol is corrosive and toxic. Ingestion can lead to death.
Typical data for the MEG. Consult actual commercial data with the specific manufacturer of the glycol
used in the installation.
Ethylene glycol is slightly hygroscopic and should be stored in conditions to avoid contamination with
water and moisture adsorption.
MEG's storage temperature is not critical, as there will be no hazardous conditions created by storing
this product at any room temperature that may be found. However, it should be taken into account
for reasons of product quality, the storage temperature should not exceed 40ºC. At sub-zero
temperatures, the viscosity of the product may become too high for transfer from storage containers
with available pumps.
MEG is a stable chemical and is not expected to deteriorate significantly over time, as long as it is
stored as directed. However, as good industrial practice, it is recommended not to store for periods
longer than 6 months.
Bulk tanks must be HDPE, non-rust stainless steel or sweet steel. Hoses must be polypropylene or SS.

Monoethylene glycol is toxic and should be handled with all necessary precautions. Appropriate
human safety products such as splash protection goggles, lab coats, steam respirators, gloves and
boots should be used while handling and applying chemicals. Splashes on the skin should be washed
with water immediately. In case of eye spatter, rinse with fresh water and get medical attention. It
should not be injected.

49
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Propylene glycol:
For applications requiring increased safety, such as food applications, propylene glycol should be
used as a substitute for monoethylene glycol.

The propylene glycol used must have an approved chemical formulation for processing and direct
contact with food products, which should be checked with the supplier of the anti-freezing solution.

END OF THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE UNIT

Recommendations for disassembly of the unit

Once the unit has completed its service life and is to be removed from service, it is necessary to
ensure that all power supplies and drainage are disconnected.
It is recommended to use the same fasteners that were used to install the unit (see Transport and
Elevation section).
It is recommended to review regulations related to the recycling of equipment in the territory where
the unit is located. Those components that must be recycled or manage their removal by a waste
manager must be identified and separated. Attempts should be made to recycle as many materials as
possible in each case.

Waste management

At the end of the unit's life, electronic and electrical waste should be managed in accordance with
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), European Directive 2012/19/EU, through the
intervention of waste managers authorised for every type of waste.
In order to avoid a negative impact on the environment due to the presence of pollutants, at the end
of the life of the units, please bear in mind the correct segregation of the waste generated both
hazardous and non-hazardous dangerous.

Non-hazardous waste: Painted metal parts, copper pipe, coils, exchangers, fans, water pumps, etc:
- Steel sheet. It is located in the body of the machine, panels, pillars, caps, fans, etc.
- Copper: it is found in tube and fin heat exchangers, refrigerant circuit piping, control
components, electrical cables, compressors, motors of fans and pumps.
- Aluminium: it is found in the fins of tube and fin heat exchangers, or in the body of
microchannel exchangers, on some non-structural elements of the unit structure.

53
MM_KWE_1911B_EN_EU.doc
 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Hazardous waste: Compressors, filters, refrigerant gas, valves, WEEE, etc. These latter must be
managed by an authorized manager.
- Refrigerant fluid. The required treatment depending on the product must be recovered from
the unit, and the required treatment must be checked with local regulations. The vast majority
of refrigerant fluids are recyclable.
- Thermal fluids, such as glycol water, either with monoethylene glycol or propylene glycol,
must be removed and recycled through an Authorized Waste Manager. Under no
circumstances should they be poured into the environment.
- Plastics and polymers: Found in ventilation elements, electrical components, support plugs,
filters, etc. In addition, special care must be taken to the insulations, as some of them may
have as a composition polymer foams that must be treated apart from plastics.
- Lubricant oils. Compressors contain lubricating oils, usually of organic origin, which also are
usually also in the pipes of the refrigeration circuits. They must be fully recovered, and under
no circumstances can they be discharged into the environment. They must be removed by an
Authorized Waste Manager.
