Refrigeration circuit

General notes
-
Refrigeration equipment is subject to the EG Pressure Equipment Directive (2014-68-EG) and
requires special handling and special care.
-
Start up the refrigeration circuit only if it was properly installed, evacuated and filled - Never
start a compressor under vacuum.
-
It is essential that the glide of refrigerant blends as R407C is carefully considered when adjust-
ing superheat controls.
-
Air inlet and thus the entry of humidity into the refrigeration circuit must be avoided rigorously,
since the refrigerant oil is highly hygroscopic. The water, which is absorbed by the oil, cannot be
removed sufficiently.

Manually starting the compressor via EUROCLIMA control system
The compressor can be started via the display of the EUROCLIMA control system as follows:

Note:
Manually starting the compressor can only be performed at service level (Password level
4; key symbol: 2 keys). The 4-digit password for the service level is

8.2.3
Refrigerant
Refrigerants used by EUROCLIMA are halogenated hydrocarbons, preferably R407C and R134a.
These are also known as safety refrigerants (safety group A1 according to EN378 part 1) in con-
trast to flammable refrigerants such as Propane or toxic refrigerants such as Ammonia.
They are actually non-flammable under normal operating conditions and do not create explosive
mixtures with air, but are odorless. Only higher concentrations in the air can be noted by the olfac-
tory sense.
Refrigerant vapors, which escape from leaking cylinders or refrigeration plants, will
be mix undetected with air and therefore the risk of suffocation arises with concen-
tration through the displacement of the breathing of essential oxygen. Humans are
not able to detect oxygen deficiency with their senses. As refrigerant vapor is heav-
ier than air, they concentrate at ground level and in lower-lying areas of the building.
In order to avoid the occurrence of higher concentrations, workplaces must always
be ventilated well.
Halogenated refrigerants can also have narcotic effect. In case of high refrigerant
concentration (e.g. tube leakage) the technical room, the room must be evacuated
immediately. Enter only after adequate room ventilation occurs.
If the room must be entered during high refrigerant concentrations, then a breathing apparatus that
is independent from the ambient air must be used. Furthermore, such a breathing apparatus can
only be used by specially trained and medically suitable people or other professionals.
8.2.4
Compressor lubricant
-
Compressor oil, a synthetic ester oil, is highly hygroscopic, so that the bound moisture in the oil
cannot be completely removed by the evacuation of refrigeration circuit.
