English
Compressors use polyester oil. During maintenance interventions on the compressor, or if the
refrigeration circuit has to be opened in any point, do not forget that this type of oil is highly
hygroscopic, and avoid exposing it to the atmosphere during long periods, which would require to
change the oil.
Caution
Never use the compressor as a vacuum pump to drain the installation.

Warning
Il est préconisé de "basculer" la carte ILTC en mode TEST à chaque maintenance pour réaliser un
prédiagnostique.
Warning
Protect the SysAqua frame so as to get back oil that could ow out accidentally.

This equipment must be submitted to sealing checks minimum once per year, by a professional authorized
to perform such an operation. Refer to national requirements for the frequency of these checks.
17.3. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Run the unit in refrigerating mode to determine whether the group's charge is correct by checking actual
sub-refrigeration.
Oil for refrigeration equipment is light and transparent. It maintains its colour for a long operating period.
As a refrigeration system designed and installed properly will run without problem, the compressor oil does
not require replacement, even after a long operating period.
Blackened oil has been exposed to impurities in the refrigeration piping system, or excess temperatures
on the compressor backow side, which inevitably degrades oil quality. Blackening oil or degradation of its
qualities may also be caused by humidity in the system. Change the oil when its colour changes or when it
is degraded.
In this case, before restarting the unit, the refrigeration circuit must be emptied.

17.3.1.3. FILTER DRIER
Refrigeration circuits are tted with lters drier.
The uid indicator is used to check the refrigeration ow and humidity rate of the refrigerating uid. The
presence of bubbles indicates that the lter drier is clogged or the charge insufcient.
In this event, even after cleaning the cartridge, the air bubbles remain, which means that the system has
lost part of its refrigerating uid in one or several points, which must be detected and repaired.
The glass window contains a colour indicator. Comparing the indicator colour with the scale present on the
glass window allows to calculate the humidity rate of the refrigerating uid. If excessive, change the lter
cartridge, run the system for one day, then check the humidity rate again.
A humidity rate within the preset limits requires no further intervention. If the humidity rate remains too
high, change the lter drier again, start the unit, and run it for another day.
