INSTALLATION
2.1
RECEPTION AND INSPECTION
On receipt of the Ultracool unit, it must be inspected for damage during transport. In the case of any damage,
external or internal, this cannot be referred to the manufacturer because all units are checked before
dispatch.
If any damage is observed, this should be documented and reported to the forwarding company.
The LAUDA Ultracool S.L. warranty does not include any damages incurred during transportation.
The refrigerant circuit controls are set before shipment of the unit. They should not be re-adjusted under any
circumstances (except by an authorized service agent). This would void the warranty of the unit.
2.2
TRANSPORTATION
Keep the unit upright at all times. Do not tilt when shipping or moving.
The Ultracool unit must be transported by pallet jack or forklift truck.
2.3
SITE
The Ultracool unit must be installed in an atmosphere where the range of temperatures is within the
indicated margins mentioned in point 3.1. It is necessary to add ethylene glycol to the water of the
circuit, as indicated in point 3.1.
The chiller must be installed on a solid level surface that is capable of supporting a minimum of
300kg (660 lb) for UC 8 to 24 models and 650kg (1430 lb) for UC 50 and 65 models. The
floor must not have any slope.
If the chiller has wheels, make sure to activate their brakes once the unit is in place to prevent it
from moving.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the chiller.
We recommend the installation of the Ultracool unit in a well-ventilated site and in a corrosive-free,
dust-free atmosphere.
In the case of outdoor installation, it is recommended to protect the Ultracool unit from rain with a
roof.
Leave a space of 1m (40") around the chiller for UC 8 to 24 models and 2m (80") for the UC 50
and 65 models. This space is important to facilitate maintenance work and cleaning, especially in
front of the condenser (the heat exchanger on the left side).
If necessary, the unit can be installed without any free space on the right and back sides. In this case,
foresee that the unit can be moved forwards to free the access panels when there are maintenance
works to be carried out.
