tank.

The medium cycle comprises a

circulation pump, expansion vessel,

safety valve, medium storage tank

and a ﬂow switch. Accessories in-

clude: Cabled remote control, vib-

ration dampers, glycol concentrate

and a technical acceptance test.

Intended use

Depending on the model and the

equipment, the system is only

intended to be used as a chilled

water system for the cooling or

warming of the operating medium

water or a water-glycol mixture

within a closed cycle.

Any other use or use in a way that

dose not conform with the deﬁni-

tion above is considered an incor-

rect use.

The manufacturer/supplier as-

sumes no liability for damages aris-

ing from the incorrect use of the

system or any part of it. The user

dose so at their own risk. Using the

system correctly means working

in accordance with the operating

manual, installation instructions

System description

Transport and

packaging

In cooling mode, the unit (an air to

water chiller) takes heat out of the

operating medium to be cooled,

water or a mixture of water and

glycol, within a closed medium

cycle in the evaporator (plate heat

exchanger) and gives it off to the

closed cooling cycle. Through the

heat exchange, the medium cools

and the refrigerant in the cooling

cycle vaporises under low pressure.

The vaporised refrigerant passes

into an electrically driven compres-

sor (rotary piston or scroll design),

which increases the refrigerants

pressure and temperature. The

vaporise refrigerant passes into a

ﬁnned condenser, which, as a con-

sequence of the heat exchange,

condenses the refrigerant under

high pressure to a liquid. The air

that passes through the condenser

heats the surrounding area. The

liquid refrigerant is returned by

means of a thermal expansion

valve back to the evaporator

where the process starts again.

In heating mode, a chilled water

system with heat pump functions

(HP-function) can take up heat

from the ambient air in the ﬁnned

condenser and give it off to the

operating medium. A reversing

valve switches the cooling cycle.

A independent return temperature

regulator, which ensures the safety

functions of the system controls

the cooling and heating. A re-

mote Enabling switch provides for

remote on/off.

Warranty

It is important for any warranty

claims is that the customer or

his accepting representative fully

complete the warranty registra-

tion card and commissioning report

which is included with the system

at the time when it is purchased

and commissioned and that these

documents are returned to REMKO

GmbH & Co. KG. The warranty

conditions are detailed in the "Gen-

eral terms and conditions". Only

the parties to a contract can negoti-

ate any special agreements beyond

these conditions. In this case, con-

tact the contractual partner.

System configuration

Operation

The system can be easily operated

via the fully automatic controller

μC2SE. If due to local conditions

programming via the internal con-

trol course difficulties, the system

can also be programmed via a ca-

bled remote controller (accessory)

or an external ON/OFF-Switch.

If a combination of letters /

numbers is shown in the dis-

play, then there is a malfunc-

tion in the unit (see chapter on

trouble-shooting and customer

service).

! CAUTION

The system is designed as a two

pipe system.

The system has 2 medium pipes

(supply and return) for cooling

using a cold medium or heating

using a warm medium.

The medium can be circulated

to the room to be cooled via the

ﬂoor, or via the ceiling depending

on where the unit is mounted.

For each of the different systems, a

minimum ﬂow volume and a mini-

mum medium volume is needed

for safe operation.

Installation instructions for qualiﬁed personnel

■

To install the system it is impor-

tant to follow the installation

instructions for both the chiller

and the chilled water system

(indoor system) or heating

system when installing the

entire system.

■ The indoor system and the

chiller work independently. A

connection between the two is

not necessary.

■

Transport the unit in its original

packaging as close as possible

to the installation location to

avoid damage.

■

The units may only be moved

upright (installed position) using

appropriate transport equipment

(Figure 1).

Secure against tipping!

■

The unit must be kept upright

when transporting to a higher

elevation (Figure 2).

■

Check that the packaged con-

tents are complete and inspect

the system for any visible signs

of transport damage.

Report any damage immediate-

ly to your contract partner and

the shipping company.

■

Select an installation location

with free air movement both

for the inlet and outlet. See

section “Minimum clearances”.

■

Do not install the unit in the

immediate vicinity of devices

with intensive thermal radia-

tion, this will reduce the cooling

capacity.

■

Lift the unit only at intended

lifting points. Never stress the

medium or refrigerant pipings.

■

The medium connection lines,

valves and connections must be

insulated against vapour

density. If necessary, also insu-

late the condensate line (only

units with HP-function). In dual

systems with cooling and

heating modes, the

requirements of the current or

other local law (EnEV) are to be

complied with.

■

Seal off open lines against dirt

and never kink or crimp the

lines.

■

Avoid unnecessary bending.

■

Establish all electrical connec-

tions connections in accordance

with the relevant DIN- and VDE

or other local standards.

■

Always fasten electric wiring

properly to the terminals,

otherwise there is a risk of ﬁre.

■

Comply with all regulations

governing structural and build-

ing requirements and conditions

with regard to the installation

site.

■

In the selection of the installa-

tion site, pay attention to the

site itself and to any possible

noise reﬂexion from the sur-

roundings.

■

To avoid the transmission of

vibrations the units must be

installed on vibration absorbing

material or on vibration iso-

lated foundations. In doing so,

make sure that the lines are also

vibration isolated.

■

If the installation site must fulﬁl

special noise emission require-

ments, this must be done on

site where appropriate adjust-

ments can be made. In this

cases, please consult a noise

level expert.

REMKO RVS...H (INOX)

Wall openings

■

We recommend that the inside

of the opening be padded or

lined for example with a PVC

pipe to prevent damage to the

pipe lines

■

After installation, the wall

opening should be sealed off

with a suitable sealant. Do not

use materials containing cement

or lime!

Installation material

The system is secured on vibration

absorbers (accessories) to the ﬂoor

by means of bolts. The carrying ca-

pacity of the console and the wall

must be taken into account when

fastening to the wall.

Selection of the installation

location

The unit is designed for horizontal

installation on a base in outdoor

areas. The installation site must be

level and ﬁrm. The unit should be

secured to prevent toppling.

The unit can be installed outside as

well as inside a building.

In the case of outdoor installation,

please follow the instructions given

below to protect the unit against

the weather.

Rain

The unit should be at least 10 cm

off the ground when mounted on

the roof or ground.

For cooling and heating systems

(only HP-function) elevated instal-

lation increases the heating

capacity.

Sun

The ﬁnned condenser gives off

heat in the cooling mode.

Exposure to sunlight further in-

creases the temperature of the ﬁns

and reduces the heat released by

the ﬁnned heat exchanger.

The unit should, whenever pos-

sible, be installed on the north side

of the building.

If necessary, take measures to pro-

vide sufﬁcient shade (responsibility

of customer).

This can be done by building a

small roof covering.

However, the discharging warm air

ﬂow must not be affected by this.

Wind

If the system is being installed

where it is windy, care must be

taken that the discharged warm air

(cooling mode) is carried off in the

prevailing wind direction. If this is

not possible, it may be necessa-

ry to install a windbreak on-site

(Figure 3).

Ensure that the windbreak does

not adversely affect the air intake-

to the unit.

Snow

The system should be wall-mounted

in areas where there is heavy snow-

fall. Mounting should be at least 20

cm above the expected snow level

to prevent snow from getting into

the system (Figure 4).

Installation inside buildings

■

Ensure that heat can dissipate

adequately when placing the

outdoor unit in cellars, attics,

adjoining rooms or halls

(Figure 5).

■

Install an additional fan with

the same air ﬂow as that of the

outdoor unit being installed in

the room which can compen-

sate any additional pressure

losses. (Figure 5, Page 20).

■

Ensure a continuous and unob-

structed air ﬂow from outside,

preferably using sufﬁciently

large air openings (Figure 5,

Page 20).

Cooling or heating perform-

ance changes as a conse-

quence of the ambient condi-

tions inﬂuenced by rain, sun,

wind, and snow.

Minimum clearances

The following illustration indicates

the minimum clearances for trou-

ble-free operation of the system.

These protection zones serve to

ensure unrestricted air intake and

discharge, as well as providing suf-

ﬁcient room for performing main-

tenance and repairs and prevent-

ing the unit from being damaged.
