It is important that the problems of noise are considered at all points in the
installation of equipment, i.e. :
z The acoustic properties of the room - soft furnishings, curtains and carpets tend to
deaden reflections. Bare walls, vertical cabinets etc. tend to produce reflections
which result in higher noise levels.
z Equipment placed hard against a wall can transmit noise through and along the wall
into adjacent areas.
z Floors with high deflections e.g. wooden floors, can amplify the noise produced by
the unit.
z Inadequately fastened pipe runs can transmit vibrations along their full length.

Refrigerant pipe connections are located at the bottom of the units, however, pipe connections
for some customized units might be located at side or rear. Care must be taken when doing
pipe routing. Avoid obstructing the airflow entering the units, especially when the airflow is
mainly through the unit base stand. All refrigeration pipework should be installed to national
and local standards.
The sizes of refrigerant pipe are depending on the capacity of individual circuit and the
distance between the indoor units and the outdoor units. Pipes must be properly sized to
ensuring oil return to compressors and avoidance of excessive pressure drops in
discharge and/or liquid lines. The recommended pipe sizes for different equivalent length
are listed in the tables below.

Extreme care should be taken to keep refrigeration tubing clean and dry prior to installation
and the following procedures will help to adhere to good practice:
1. Only refrigeration grade copper tubing correctly sealed against contamination should
be used.
2. Do not carry out installation outside whilst it is raining.
3. Always cap the free end of tubing whilst carrying out installation.
4. Do not leave dehydrated compressors or filter/driers open to the atmosphere.
5. Use only copper eutectic or specialist soft solders containing at least 3.5% silver on
suction and liquid lines and high temperature copper eutectic rods or silver solder on
discharge lines. It is suggested that one of the following are used:
a. Copper to copper - Eutectic 1805 (2% silver) - no flux.
b. Copper to brass - Eutectic 1805 - flux 1802.
c. Copper to steel - Eutectic 1810 (2% silver) - flux 1820.
NB: STANDARD SOFT SOLDER MUST NOT BE USED.
6. With any high temperature rod where oxidisation is liable to take place use an inert
gas such as dry nitrogen or carbon dioxide to avoid scale formation inside the tubing.
Dry nitrogen is preferred.
7. When using soldering paste or flux, use the minimum required to prevent
contamination of the filter and joint. Flux only the male part of the connection - never
the female. After making the joint, remove the surplus flux with a damp cloth.
8. Where vibration eliminators are used the ends should be wrapped with a damp cloth
and rods with a melting temperature of no greater than 650oC (1200oF) should be used
to avoid damage to the internal joints.
Leak testing should be carried out before initial charging and after any service work that
require disassembly of the piping has been carried out, and prior to evacuation. This is
done by charging with dry nitrogen until system pressure of 26bar for R22/R407C system
or 42bar for R410A system. Please ensure that the LP switch (if present) is isolated during
this test. Refer to section Control of Refrigerant Discharge.

Standard units are pre-charged with POE oil (PVE oil for variable speed compressor).
Initial charge should be sufficient for installation with pipe run less than 30m. For longer
pipe run, additional oil is required. As a guide, 25g of oil should be added for every
additional 1.0kg charge of refrigerant. Additional oil should be added for the correct
operation of oil trap (if fitted).
Please ensure correct oil is used and never mix POE/PVE oil with mineral oil or oil of
different grade. Note that polyester oil is very hygroscopic and should not be exposed to
air for any length of time.

2) Use refrigerants to clean coils 2) Clean coils etc. using a hand brush, vacuum or compressed
etc. air.
3) Leak test using pure refrigerant. 3) Leak test using Nitrogen and just a trace of refrigerant gas.
4) Recharge before mending leaks. 4) Find and mend leaks before recharging system.
5) Dispose refrigerant gas to waste. 5) Send used refrigerant gas back for reprocessing.
All chilled and condenser water pipework should be designed to good practice. The following
should be observed on chilled water units, drycooler or cooling tower systems:
z Lines should be adequately sloped to drain away, by gravity, water that is accumulated
from condensing, defrosting or cleaning operations.
z All plumbing connections should be made in accordance with local Water Board
recommendations.
z Drain lines from drip trays etc., must be trapped and run to open drains. They must not
be connected directly to the sewer system (See "Legionnaires' Disease").
z Control devices such as solenoid valves, modulating valves or hand valves, which may
cause hydraulic hammer, should be protected by a standpipe and air pocket to absorb
shock.
z Pipes for chilled water or condenser water should be sized in accordance with accepted
practice. Care must be taken when sizing pipework and pumps to make sufficient
allowance for the pressure drops.
z A 40-mesh strainer should be provided at the inlet to each water cooled ("W" version)
unit to protect the plate type heat exchangers from fouling.

G-Volution IOM Manual
If water piping is installed in a space where the temperature may drop below freezing, it
must be arranged so that it can be easily and completely drained. Condensers or water
coils are difficult to drain completely and therefore, to be safe; it is advisable to remove
any remaining water by blowing through with compressed air. If systems are to remain out
of operation for long periods, then it is recommended that they be refilled with an
anti-freeze solution to prevent corrosion of the inner surfaces of the piping, condensers
and coils. The anti-freeze solution should contain inhibitors to ensure it is not aggressive
towards any of the materials of construction of the coil or pipework, and the advice of the
anti-freeze supplier should be sought.
On re-commissioning the equipment, the anti-freeze solution must be drained and the
system refilled with water.
The Chilled Water Air Handling Unit volumes shown below include coils, valves and
pipework.

All cooling coil drip tray(s) have a drain connection which is connected to a 22mm main
condensate drain pipe. The drain pipe is fitted with a flexible hose near the bottom of the unit.
A trap is fitted between the drain tray connection and the unit exit termination.
The drains should run into a 35 mm or larger drain within 3 metres of the unit and should be
discharged into a trapped air break as detailed in the section "Legionnaires' Disease".
The external drain should be run in copper tubing to BS 2871 Table X or equivalent, or high
temperature rigid plastic tubing. Drain pipe runs should be adequately supported at regular
intervals to avoid bowing and have a slope of at least 1 in 50 to ensure proper drainage. If the
run is long and has a number of bends the tube should be adequately sized and suitable
cleaning (Roding) eyes installed at bends. The pipework should be tested for any leakage
upon completion of installation.
Drain pipe should not be exposed to freezing temperatures. Prior to unit start-up, pour some
water into the condensate drain pan to fill up the trap and prevents air from being drawn up
from the drain lines.

IMPORTANT:
The direct expansion models incorporate scroll compressors that will only compress in one
rotational direction. The rotational direction is dependent upon the phasing of the power to
motor terminal connections (L1, L2 and L3). Verification of correct rotational direction is made
by observing that the suction pressure drops and discharge pressure rises when the
compressor is energised. Reserve rotation results in a sound level above that with correct
rotation, as well as substantially reduced current drawn compared to tabulated values. There
is no negative impact on durability caused by operating the scroll compressors in the reverse
direction; however, after several minutes the compressor internal protection will trip. THIS
PROTECTIVE DEVICE SHOULD NEVER BE BY-PASSED FOR ANY REASON.

achieve the design flow rate through the cooling coils and by-pass arrangement.
NOTE烉The best method of measuring water flow is by incorporating orifice and double
regulating valves at each unit, so enabling readings to be taken on the orifice valve and
regulating flow on the double regulating valve. Alternatively, a double regulating valve with
pressure tappings can be used. If these valves have not been installed, pressure drop
readings should be taken across the coil and across the 3-way valve. The double
regulating valve in the by-pass line should be set to correspond to the coil pressure drop,
thus ensuring correct control by the 3-way valve and constant flow through the system.
For optional 2 way pressure independent balancing control valve (PIBCV), first set the
desired flow rate going into the unit at the dial on the top of the valve. This will be the flow
rate going into the unit when it is operating at 100%. You will first need to remove the
actuator from the valve before having access to the dial. Please refer to diagram &
instruction below for the setting the flow rate of the PIBCV valve. Once the desired flow
rate is set, no other system balancing would be required.

5.2 EC Fans
A. For a unit with EC fan, the system consists of a stationary inlet nozzle and the fan
attached to the EC motor which is secured to a mounting bracket. A grille at the fan inlet
nozzle and enclosure plates is used to prevent accidental contact with the fan when it is in
operation. To access the EC fan, remove the enclosure plates.
B. To remove the fan from the unit, first move the inlet nozzle clear from the EC fan. Next
remove the bolt securing the fan bracket in position. With the inlet nozzle clear from the
path of the EC fan and its bracket, it shall be possible to slide the entire fan assembly out
from the unit along the guide & support rails. The EC fan can be removed from the fan
bracket once it is out of the unit.
C. For units with underfloor EC fan assembly, the fan assembly needs to be moved up from
its underfloor position via the same process highlighted earlier for installing the underfloor
assembly using chain block. Reverse the process until the entire fan assembly is above
the level of the bottom mounting plate of the unit. Move the entire fan assembly out of the
unit & remove the chain from the fan assembly. The EC fan can then be removed from the
fan mounting.
D. Any adjustment to the fan speed and settings can be made through the display interface.
Please refer to the Genius Controller Engineering Data for more details on the fan
settings.
IMPORTANT: ISOLATE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE UNIT AND WAIT TILL FAN HAS COME TO
A STOP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSPECT OR CHANGE THE FAN.
5.3 Compressor
z Compressors are fully accessible from the front of the unit. For certain configurations, the
compressors are located behind enclosure plates which need to be opened for access. All
compressors are fitted with rotalock connection for easy removal. All the hermetic
compressors are without oil sight glass.
z In the event of compressor burn-out, a full system clean-up is required or residual
problem will occur even if new compressor is installed.
z To replace the compressor, reclaim all refrigerant from the system as per local codes and
disconnect all electrical connection at the compressor terminal box. For models with
optional rotalock valves, the system may be isolated by shutting off the rotalock valves.
Remove the compressor by opening the rotalock connections and replace with with new
compressor after removing old compressor out from the unit. Evacuate & charge
accordingly before restarting compressor. For models with optional rotalock valves,
remember to re-open rotalock valves after installing the new compressor.
The humidifier operating parameters are selected in software. Appropriate voltages, phases
and steam output of humidifier fitted are set in Software Level 3 (or Factory Setting for PGD
Touch) - Humidifier Setup. This configuration is set up during factory configuration and
normally shall not need to be reset.

the steam is produced by boiling the water contained inside the cylinder. This occurs by
VLPSO\¿OOLQJWKHF\OLQGHU with water and applying voltage to the electrodes. According to
the Joule effect, the current will tend to heat the water until boils. The aim of the algorithm
is to maintain the current that runs through the electrodes at a reference value so as to
ensure the percentage of steam production required according to the readings of the
humidity probes and the parameters set by the user. To maintain the current within a
FHUWDLQUDQJHDURXQGWKHUHIHUHQFHYDOXHZDWHU¿OO and evaporation cycles are repeated.
The other factor that determines the current level is the conductivity of the water inside
the cylinder.
The initial quantity of the flowing current strongly depends on the type of water coming
from the supply network. Normally, a recently-started cylinder has low current. With the
passing of time, the quantity of the salts contained in the water increases (as a matter of
fact, evaporation does not include salts); this feature allows reaching the required current
level so that the machine can provide for the required steam quantity.
Under stable operation conditions, the required production level is automatically obtained
by controlling the boiler water level. This control allows having higher or lowers.
Parts of the salts introduced in the water by automatic refills settles inside the boiler as

The steam, condensate and water hoses used with and in the Humidifier should be
inspected at the normal service visits as part of normal maintenance. At the first signs of
deterioration, a hose should be removed and replaced with identical hoses.
IMPORTANT WARNING: the cylinder might be hot, before touching it, let it cool or
use protective gloves.
After extended use or due to the use of water with a high salt content, the solid deposits
that form naturally on the electrodes might spread until they cover the cylinder internal
wall. In case particularly conductive deposits form, the heat consequently produced might
overheat plastic and melt it; in the most severe cases, heat might perforate plastic,
causing the water to leak from the cylinder to the tank.
WARNING: in case of leak, disconnect the appliance before touching the cylinder,
as current might be present in water.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
Do not use detergents or solvents for plastic components cleaning. Scale can be
removed using a solution with 20% vinegar or acetic acid and then rinsing with

A dirty filter can seriously affect the efficiency of a plant and torn filters can seriously foul the
conditioned space, the cleaning of which can be extremely expensive. Units fitted with
microprocessor controls will indicate by visual alarm when a filter change is necessary.
For down flow unit, the filters are situated in the top of the unit, on the air return side of the
system. For up flow unit, the filters are situated at the front bottom of the unit. For ECL and ES
5 and 12 models, the filters are situated parallel to the cooling coil. Access to the filters is via
the front access panel(s) or from the top of the unit. Each door is retained by 3 compression
latches and should be operated using the 4mm allen key.
IMPORTANT: care must be taken when opening the access door containing the
microprocessor display module as this is attached to the controller in the electrical
panel by display cable. No excess strain should be applied to this cable as this may
damage PCB's in the display module or controller.
To replace the filters, first ensure that the airflow direction on the filter when fitted will face
downwards (towards the unit) or inward (for upflow unit). Use the rail on the filter frame to slide
the filter in towards the rear of the unit. After that, close back the front access door(s) if it was
opened for filter removal.
After replacement of the air filter, check the operation of the filter blocked switch (differential
pressure switch) located within the control/ electrical panel. Note that all access panels must
be in place and closed for proper measurement. New air filter should not trigger the switch.
Adjust setting if necessary (please refer to section on Airflow Failure & Filter Blocked
Differential Pressure Switch).

i IMPORTANT: please ensure that the heater is cool before touching or removing the
elements or the thermostat.
For ES models (as well as EC 25 & 50 models) except model 5 and 12, downflow units,
the heaters and over-temperature thermostats are located between the cooling coil(s)
while for upflow units, the heater and over-temperature thermostats are located above the
cooling coils and can be accessed from the front. Open the front enclosure panel for the
fan section to access the heater. The heater assembly is mounted on a plate held in place
by 3 screws. Removal of these screws will allow the complete assembly to slide down
from its mounting position. At this point, the heaters, over-temperature thermostats and
electrical connections are easily accessible for any necessary maintenance, replacement,
etc. For models with belt driven fan, the fan motor has to be removed in order to access
the heater assembly.
For the EH and EC models besides EC 25 & 50, there are different locations for the
heaters assembly:
i Down flow unit (standard belt driven fan): the heaters are located at the rear
portion of the unit behind the fan(s).
i Down flow unit (EC fan/plug fan): the heaters are located between the cooling
coil and the fan(s).
i Up flow unit: the heaters assembly is located between the fans and the cooling
coil.
For ES 5 & 12, the heaters are located at the rear of unit.
The heater assembly is mounted on a plate, fixed by screws. Removal of the screws will
allow the complete assembly to be withdrawn. At this point, the heaters, over-temperature
thermostats and electrical connections are easily accessible for any necessary
maintenance, replacement, etc. For models with belt driven fan, the fan and motor has to
be removed in order to access the heater assembly.
Note: For down flow unit (EC fan/plug fan), cover the fan inlet with cardboard etc. to
prevent any dropping of screws into the fan.
A #16-20 mesh (1mm) strainer shall be placed on the supply water piping before the plate heat
exchanger to protect the heat exchanger from getting blocked by particles. Regular inspection
& cleaning of the strainer is required to prevent high pressure losses.
The plate heat exchanger has a self cleaning effect in the channels due to a very high degree
of turbulence. However, proper maintenance & treatment of the cooling water system is
important to reduce the risk of scaling particularly in open water systems or where the degree
of fouling is high. It is possible to clean the heat exchanger by circulating a cleaning liquid
through the heat exchanger. A 5% phosphorus acid solution (or 5% oxalic acid if frequently
cleaned) may be used as the cleaning liquid. For optimum cleaning, the flow rate for the
cleaning solution should be a minimum of 1.5times the normal flow rate, preferably in a
black-flush mode. Rinse carefully with clean water afterwards. A solution of 1-2% sodium
hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium bicarbonate (NAHCO3) before the last rinse will ensure that all
acid is neutralized.

Any repeated faults in the initial warranty period should be relayed to the contractor and
consultant (where applicable).
Plant settings should not be altered as the balance of the complete system can be
affected resulting in a costly rebalancing operation. Rebalancing should only be carried
out by a competent Engineer.
Carrying out maintenance as described in the servicing sections can cut down
significantly nuisance fault finding problems; however maintenance should be carried
out by COMPETENT AND TRAINED STAFF - bad maintenance is often worse than no
maintenance at all.
The fault finding tables have been prepared in logical sequence, with the most likely
faults first.
Generally speaking electrical or electrically associated problems are more frequent than
mechanical.
Ensure that the person(s) fault finding is competent in attending to all aspects of the
equipment and that they know the location of all items of plant.
As it will be necessary for panels to be worked on "live" for fault finding only QUALIFIED
AND COMPETENT ELECTRICAL STAFF should be used on this Section. Refer to "The
Electricity at Work Regulations" for guidance.
It is necessary to ensure that all isolators are in the "OFF" position before any covers are
