 3 - CONDENSATE DRAIN

The air treatment means condensate water is taken our reducing the external air humidity.
This condensate water must be drained off in a dedicated tank and from this tank outbord by means of a pump.
The direct discharge to the bilge is not suggested as the condensate water is quite pure and it will smell quickly.
Every model of our Mistral AHU is equipped with two drains for the condensate water and we strongly suggest to
use both of them.
The condenate drain line must be connected to the two threaded ports ¾ BSP of the condensate tray.

If the condensate drain pipe needs to run for a certain length, we strongly
suggest to make immediately a down bend using an elbow. After a vertical
run of 100 mm, the following run can be horizonta

Horizontal runs must be avoided as the condensate water remains inside

the pipe and can come back to the unit during the navigation at sea.

As the unit takes the air from outside and creates a certain low pressure,
the condensate drain could cause a return of odours to the unit. In order to
prevent this problem a simple syphon on the drain line is suggested.

For the same consideration of the low pressure created by the unit, it is strongly
suggested to avoid a direct discharge of the condensate overboard. A direct
discharge could cause the dangerous return of engine smokes. Please refer to
the different rules existing in every country.

 4 – AIR DISTRIBUTION

The capacity and efficiency of the unit is directly related to the air flow. It is therefore very important to make the air
distribution avoiding any restriction, elbows and keeping the original diameter of the fan outlet, not exceeding the the
duct run.

The fan must be connected with a suitable duct to the air distribution
circuit. The main duct diameter must respect the original fan duct
connection.

Insulated ducts must be carefully extended in order to reduce to

minimum the friction and reach the nominal duct diameter.

 5 - ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

WARNING
AVOID THE RISK OF THE ELECTROCUTION !!!

Only qualified staff can execute the troubleshooting and the repair. Keep isolated from the ground during the
execution
of the electrical operations, wearing dry clothes, rubber shoes, rubber carpets, etc.... Don’t check wires under
voltage
if none can bring help.

IMPORTANT NOTE

To avoid possible electrical shocks, that can cause harm or death to people, execute the grounding of the air-
conditioning
system, as indicated:
1- Use a suitable electrical cable with ground wire section and isolation to give the charge from the switch on
the control
board of the boat to the electrical box of the system. The ground wire must be correctly connected to the
ground terminal
of the panel.
2- Check that the ground connection between the electrical box and the air-conditioner hasn’t suffer any
damage during
the transport.
3- Check that the connection of the water pump to the suitable terminal of the electrical box includes also the
ground
connection.
4- Check the ground continuity before switching off the air-conditioner.

4.2 – POWER SUPPLY

Check that the available supply corresponds to the label on the unit, on the box and on the electrical
pump.
The electrical box of the air-conditioner must be connected to mains supply thru a suitable circuit breaker.

 7 - MAINTENANCE

To get the best performances from your AHU, it is important to do the suggested maintenance described below. Periods
can vary based on the installation area of the boat, based on pollution and based on the system use.
Clean the air filter monthly
Clean the condensate drain pipe every 2 months
Clean the condensate pan every three months

- CONDENSATE WATER AND DRAINS

While working, every AHU produces condensate water, especially when humidity is high. It has to be checked
periodically that there are no leaks on the condensate water drains and that the condensate water drains regularly. For
this checks, put some water in the condensate
drain and check that it gets drained quickly.
If the condensate water is drained in the bilge, it is advised to drain it in a specific separate area, since it can generate
bad smells.

- AIR FILTER
The system requires to clean and periodically change the air filter. This filter is required to clean the air before
it goes into the heat exchanger of the AHU.
There is no specific rule for the system maintenance; it depends on the running hours of the system and from the air
pollution. We advise to clean the air filter every 30 days maximum.
If the air filter is not completely clean system can stop working or loose efficiency.

– ICING
If the boat faces sub-zero temperatures, it is important to check that the fresh water circuit has inside enough
percentage of antifreeze liquid to prevent icing.

 8 – TROUBLESHOOTING - DISPLAY – ALARMS

Mode is set to AUTO but at power-on the

display shows AUTO – FAN and as
TEMPERATURE there is Fan Only

This is due to the fresh water circuit

temperature to be within the COOL
and the HEAT limit. This causes the
control to be unable to choose
automatically the functioning mode. As
the fresh water circuit temperature
reaches the functioning value, the
system will automatically start to work
properly.

In the MENU screen the set point and Delta T show ------. The control keeps
the FAN running while the proportional water valve and the postheating
element are off.
The default values for the fresh water circuit temperature are T1<20°C for
the COOL mode and T1>30°C for the HEAT mode.

The A03 alarm is caused by the differential pressure-switch. This

safety denouces that the blower cannot generate a sufficient
pressure on the air delivery. Check that the blower is running and
that there are no obstructions on the air intake.

The alarms A05-A06-A07 are

generated by a malfunctioning of
a temperature sensor which is
either broken or
disconnected.Check the
corresponding sensor and
replace it if found defective.
