Carrier Aquasnap 30RB 160R User Manual

13 - STANDARD MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal e󰀩ciency and reliability of the equipment and
all its functions, we recommend taking out a maintenance contract
with the local organisation set up by your manufacturer. This
contract will include regular inspections by the manufacturer’s
Service specialists so that any malfunction is detected and
corrected quickly, ensuring that no serious damage can occur.
The manufacturer's service maintenance contract is the best way
to ensure the maximum operating life for your equipment and,
through the expertise of manufacturer's qualied personnel,
provides the ideal way to manage your system energy consumption
e󰀨ectively.
The refrigeration equipment must be serviced by professionals;
however, routine checks may be carried out locally by specially-
trained technicians. See standard EN 378-4.
All refrigerant charging, removal and draining operations must be
carried out by a qualied technician and with the correct equipment
for the unit. Any inappropriate handling can lead to uncontrolled
uid or pressure leaks.
IMPORTANT:
Before performing any work on the unit ensure it is de-
energized. If a refrigerant circuit is opened, it must be
evacuated, recharged and tested for leaks. Before any
operation on a refrigerating circuit, it is necessary to evacuate
the refrigerant charge from the device using a load transfer
unit.
Simple preventive maintenance will allow you to get the best
performance from your HVAC unit:
- Optimisation of energy performance,
- Reduced electricity consumption,
- Prevention of accidental component failure,
- Prevention of major time-consuming and costly work,
- Protection of the environment.
There are ve maintenance levels for refrigeration units, as dened
by the AFNOR X60-010 standard.
NOTE: Any deviation from or failure to comply with these
maintenance criteria will render the guarantee conditions for
the refrigeration unit null and void, and will release the
manufacturer from its liability.
13.1 - Level 1 maintenance
These simple procedures can be carried out by the user:
- Visual inspection for oil traces (sign of a refrigerant leak),
- Check for leaks in the circuit (monthly),
- Clean the air-cooled exchangers (see the dedicated chapter),
- Check that the protective grilles are present and in good
condition, and that the doors and covers are properly closed,
- Check the unit's alarm report (see the control manual),
- Verify the refrigerant charge in the liquid line sight glass,
- Verify the temperature di󰀨erence at the heat exchanger inlet
and outlet is correct,
- Check for any general signs of deterioration,
- Check the anti-corrosion coatings.
13.2 - Level 2 maintenance
This level requires specic expertise in electrical, hydraulic and
mechanical systems. it is possible that this expertise may be
available locally; there may be a maintenance service, industrial
site or specialist subcontractor in the area.
This maintenance can be carried out monthly or annually,
depending on the type of check.
In these conditions, the following maintenance work is
recommended:
Carry out all level 1 operations, then:
Electrical checks (annual checks):
- At least once a year tighten the electrical connections for the
power supply circuits (see tightening torques table),
- Check and tighten all control connections, if required,
- Check the labelling of the system and instruments, re-apply
the missing labels if required,
- Remove the dust and clean the interior of the electrical boxes.
Be careful not to blow dust or debris into components; use
a brush and vacuum wherever possible,
- Clean the insulators and bus bar supports (dust combined
with moisture reduces the insulation gaps and increases
current leakage between phases and from phase to ground),
- Check the presence, condition and operation of electrical
protective devices,
- Check the presence, condition and operation of control
components,
- Check that all heaters are operating correctly,
- Replace the fuses every 3 years or every 15000 hours
(ageing),
- Check that no water has penetrated into the electrical box,
- On the main electrical box and for units equipped with o󰀨set
electrical boxes, regularly check the cleanliness of the lter
media to maintain the correct air ow.
- Check that the capacitor is operating correctly (Power factor
correction option).
Mechanical checks:
- Check that the mounting bolts for the ventilation sub-
assemblies, fans, compressors and electrics box are securely
tightened
Hydraulic checks:
- When working on the water circuit, take care not to damage
the adjacent air heat exchanger,
- Check the water connections,
- Check the condition of the expansion tank (presence of
corrosion or loss of gas pressure) and replace it if required,
- Drain the water circuit (see chapter "Water ow control
procedure"),
- Clean the water lter (see chapter "Water ow rate control
procedure"),
- Replace the gland packing of the pump after 20000 hours of
operation and the bearings after 17500 hours,
- Check the operation of the low water ow safety device,
- Check the condition of pipe thermal insulation,
- Check the concentration of the anti-freeze protection solution
(ethylene glycol or propylene glycol),
- Check the water flow via the heat exchanger pressure
di󰀨erence,
- Check the condition of the heat-transfer uid or the water
quality,
- Check for corrosion of the steel pipe work.
Refrigerant circuit checks:
- The unit is subject to F-gas tight regulatory checks. Please
refer to the table in the introduction.
- Check the unit operating parameters and compare them with
the previous values,
- Check the operation of the high-pressure switches. Replace
them if there is a fault.
- Check the fouling of the lter drier. Replace it if necessary,
- Keep an up-to-date service booklet specic to the refrigeration
unit in question.
