Operation 

 

Operator’s responsibilities 

It  is  important  that  the  operator  is  appropriately  trained  and  becomes  familiar  with  the  system  before  operating  the 
machine. In addition to reading this manual, the operator must study the microprocessor operating manual and the wiring 
diagram in order to understand startup sequence, operation, shutdown sequence and operation of all the safety devices.  
During  the  machine’s  initial  startup  phase,  a  technician  authorized  by  the  manufacturer  is  available  to  answer  any 
questions and to give instructions as to the correct operating procedures. 
The operator is advised to keep a record of operating data for every installed machine. Another  record should also be 
kept of all the periodical maintenance and servicing activities. 
If the operator notes abnormal or unusual operating conditions, he is advised to consult the technical service authorized 
by the manufacturer. 
 

Description of the machine 

This machine, of the water condensation type, is made up of the following main components: 
 

 

Compressor

The  singlescrew  compressor  of  the  Fr  3200  series  is  of  the  semihermetic  type  and 
utilises gas from the evaporator to cool the motor and allow optimal operation under any 
expected  load  conditions.  The  oilinjection  lubrication  system  does  not  require  an  oil 
pump as oil flow is ensured by the pressure difference between delivery and suction. In 
addition to ensuring lubrication of ball bearings, oil injection dynamically seals th e screw, 
thus enabling the compression process.

 

 

Evaporator

The directexpansion shell and tube type evaporator is of ample size in order to ensure 
optimum efficiency under all load conditions.

 

 

Condenser

The shell and tube type condenser has external high efficiency micro fins (C4).

 

 

The liquid subcooled by the lower part of the tubes not only improves overall efficiency of 
the  machine  but  also  compensates  variations  in  heat  load  by  adapting  the  refrigerant 
load to all foreseen operating conditions. 

 

Expansion valve

The  machine  has  a  an  electronic  expansion  valve,  which  is  controlled  by  an  electronic 
device called a Driver that optimises its operation. 

 

 

Description of the refrigeration cycle 

The lowtemperature refrigerant gas from the evaporator is drawn by the compressor through the electric motor, which is 
cooled by the  refrigerant.  It is subsequently compressed and during this process the refrigerant mixes with the oil from 
the oil separator.

 

The highpressure oilrefrigerant mixture is introduced into the centrifugetype highefficiency oil separator, where the oil is 
separated from the refrigerant.  The oil accumulated on the bottom of the separator is forced by the pressure difference 
back into the compressor while the oilfree refrigerant is sent to the condenser.

 

The refrigerant fluid is evenly  distributed inside the condenser throughout the  volume of the exchanger, and the gas in 
contact with the tubes is cooled and successively starts to condense.  

The condensed fluid at saturation temperature passes through the subcooling section where it looses even more heat, 
increasing  the  efficiency  of  the  cycle.  The  heat  taken  from  the  fluid  during  cooling,  condensation  and  subcooling  is 
exchanged with that of the water passing inside the condenser tubes.

 

The  subcooled  fluid  flows  through  the  highefficiency  filter  dryer  and  then  reaches  the  expansion  element  (expansion 
valve)  through  which  a  fall  in  pressure  starts  off  the  expansion  process  resulting  in  the  vaporisation  of  part  of  the 
refrigerant liquid. 

The result at this point is a lowpressure and lowtemperature liquidgas mixture entering the evaporator, where it takes the 
heat required for vaporisation. 

When  the  refrigerant  liquidvapour  is  uniformly  distributed  in  the  direct  expansion  evaporator  tubes,  heat  is  exch anged 
with the cooling water, thus reducing the temperature until complete evaporation, followed by superheating.  

Once it has reached the superheatedvapour state, the refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is once again taken into the 
compressor to repeat the cycle.
