Safety is also in the hands of all operators interacting with the machine. Read the instructions included in the manual and those affixed directly to the machine carefully; in particular, conform to safety instructions. The time devoted to reading will prevent any nasty accident; it’s always too late to remind of what should have been done when an event has already occurred. The installation of this machine within a plant requires a global project that takes into account all “workmanlike performance” requirements, as well as legislative and regulatory principles. Special care must be devoted to all the technological instructions and information indicated by the manufacturer. 414019 Do not tamper with, remove, or bypass the safety devices installed on the machine. Failure to meet this requirement will result in serious safety and health hazard to people. RC GROUP Spa I_FRG_1105_1.0_GB - 10 - Chapter1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY The personnel that carries out any type of job during the life of the machine must be adequately qualified and skilled from a technical standpoint and must have gained experience in this specific sector. The lack of these requirements could prejudice the health and safety of people. During the maintenance stage, wear only the clothing and/or personal protective equipment indicated in the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer. During the normal use or for any job on the machine, keep the perimetrical space in adequate conditions, so as to prevent any safety and health hazard to people. Some stages may require the help of one or more assistants. In these cases, we recommend that you train and inform them properly on the type of activity to be carried out, so as to prevent any safety and health hazard to people. Handle the machine according to the information provided directly on the packaging and in the instructions for use delivered by the manufacturer. During handling, if necessary, seek the help of one or more assistants in order to receive adequate signals. The personnel that loads, unloads and handles the machine must be adequately qualified, skilled, and experienced in this specific sector and must be in command of the lifting equipment to be used. During the installation stage, respect the perimetrical space indicated by the manufacturer, considering also any other surrounding activity. This requirement must be met also according to the applicable industrial safety laws. The installation and connections must be carried out, as regards the machine, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The person responsible for these operations must take into account also all the applicable regulatory and legislative requirements, ensuring the workmanlike execution of the installation and connection jobs. Once the installation is completed and before starting the machine, he must make sure, through a general check, that these requirements have been met. If the machine is to be transferred using any means of transportation, check that these are fit for their intended use and load/ unload the machine in such a way that there is no hazard to the operator and the people directly involved. 414019 Before moving the machine using the said means of transportation, make sure that the machine and its components are anchored to such means firmly and that their profile does not exceed the maximum fixed volume. - 11 - RC GROUP Spa I_FRG_1105_1.0_GB Chapter1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY The operator, apart from being well—informed about the use of the machine, must be properly qualified and experienced, based on the type of job to be effected. Use the machine only for the purposes recommended by the manufacturer. Using the machine for any improper job may result in serious safety and health hazard and financial damage. The machine has been designed and manufactured in such a way that it can satisfy all the working conditions indicated by the manufacturer. Tampering with any device in order to obtain any different performance may result in safety and health hazard and financial damage. Do not use the machine if the safety devices have not been perfectly installed and are not effective. Failure to meet this requirement may result in serious safety and health hazard. Keep the machine in perfect working order, carrying out the scheduled maintenance jobs recommended by the manufacturer. Proper maintenance will ensure better performance, longer life, and the constant maintenance of safety requirements. Before carrying out any regulation and maintenance job on the machine, activate all the safety devices provided and consider whether the personnel involved and the operators nearby must be informed properly or not. In particular, carefully indicate the neighboring areas and prevent the access to all devices that, if activated, are likely to cause unpredictable dangers, causing damage to people’s safety and health. The regulation and maintenance jobs must be effected by authorized operators, who must arrange all the necessary safety conditions, according to the procedures indicated by the manufacturer. All maintenance jobs that require any specific technical skill or expertise must be carries out only by qualified personnel, adequately experienced in the relevant sector of intervention. To carry out any maintenance jobs in areas that are difficult of access or dangerous, ensure proper safety conditions for yourself and for other people, according to the applicable industrial safety laws. 414019 Replace any worn components with original spare parts only. Use the oils and greases recommended by the manufacturer, so as to ensure the machine performance and the expected safety level. RC GROUP Spa I_FRG_1105_1.0_GB - 12 - Chapter 2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION 2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE The machines of this series are designed and manufactured for being used in air-conditioning and industrial cooling plants. The machine must be installed inside the room or however protected by weathering. The machines are equipped with a microprocessor control, that allows the monitoring of all functions and the communication with external supervision systems. The machines are fully factory-assembled, provided with a refrigerant charge and control equipment, so as to reduce installation time and costs. As a general rule, the installation simply requires cooling (A.NRM version), hydraulic and electrical connections. 414019 In order to ensure top performance and safety for people, the product and the environment, before proceeding with the installation, prepare a complete project of the plant which the machine will belong to, analyzing all the critical points predicted or predictable during its life, from installation to dismission. - 13 - RC GROUP Spa I_FRG_1105_1.0_GB Chapter 2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION 2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS Water cooled machine The machines are basically made up of a heat exchange section and one or more compressors for refrigerant, with the relevant water condensing sections. They work cooling pure water or mixtures of water and ethylene or propylene glycol (without exceeding 40% of the weight). The primary water circuit conveys the vector fluid to the heat exchange section, where the chilling effect is obtained through a vapour-compression thermodynamic cycle with compressor(s). The heat, subtracted in the evaporator from the vector fluid to be chilled, is transferred to the built-in condenser and given by this to the water.
