1 - INTRODUCTION
Prior to the initial start-up of the 30RH units, the people
involved in the on-site installation, start-up, operation, and
maintenance of this unit should be thoroughly familiar with
these instructions and the specific project data for the
installation site.
The 30RH heat pumps are designed to provide a very high
level of safety during installation, start-up, operation and
maintenance. They will provide safe and reliable service when
operated within their application range.
This manual provides the necessary information to familiarize
yourself with the control system before performing start-up
procedures. The procedures in this manual are arranged in the
sequence required for machine installation, start-up, operation
and maintenance.
Be sure you understand and follow the procedures and safety
precautions contained in the instructions supplied with the
machine, as well as those listed in this guide.
Earthquake resistance has not been verified for standard units.
1.1 - Installation safety considerations
This machine must be installed in a location that is not accessible
to the public and protected against access by non-authorised
people.
After the unit has been received, when it is ready to be installed
or reinstalled, and before it is started up, it must be inspected
for damage. Check that the refrigerant circuit(s) is (are) intact.
Ensure especially that no components or pipes have shifted
(e.g. following a shock). If in doubt, carry out a leak tightness
check and verify with the manufacturer that the circuit integrity
has not been impaired. If damage is detected upon receipt,
immediately file a claim with the shipping company.
Do not remove the skid or the packaging until the unit is in its
final position. These units can be moved with a fork lift truck,
as long as the forks are positioned in the right place and
direction on the unit.
The units can also be lifted with slings, using only the designated lifting points marked at the four corners at the unit base.
These units are not designed to be lifted from above. Use
slings with the correct capacity, and always follow the lifting
instructions on the certified drawings supplied with the unit.
Safety is only guaranteed, if these instructions are carefully
followed. If this is not the case, there is a risk of material
deterioration and injuries to personnel.
Never cover any safety devices.
This applies to the globe valve in the water circuit and the
globe valve(s) in the refrigerant circuit(s).
Ensure that the valves are correctly installed, before operating
the unit.

In certain cases the globe stops are installed on ball valves.

These valves are factory-supplied lead-sealed in the open
position. This system permits isolating and removing the
globe stop for checking and replacing. The globe stops are
designed and installed to ensure protection against fire risk.
Removing the globe stops is only permitted if the fire risk is
fully controlled and the responsibility of the user.
All factory-installed globe valves are lead-sealed to prevent
any calibration change. If the globe valves are installed on a
reversing valve (change-over), this is equipped with a globe
valve on each of the two outlets. Only one of the two glove
valves is in operation, the other one is isolated. Never leave
the reversing valve in the intermediate position, i.e. with both
ways open (locate the control element in the stop position). If
a globe stop is removed for checking or replacement please
ensure that there is always an active globe stop on each of the
reversing valves installed in the unit.
Provide a drain in the discharge circuit, close to each valve,
to avoid an accumulation of condensate or rain water.
The safety valves must be connected to discharge pipes. These
pipes must be installed in a way that ensures that people and
property are not exposed to refrigerant leaks. These fluids
may be diffused in the air, but far away from any building air
intake, or they must be discharged in a quantity that is
appropriate for a suitably absorbing environment.
Periodic check of the globe valves: See paragraph
Maintenance safety considerations.
Accumulation of refrigerant in an enclosed space can
displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation or explosions.
Inhalation of high concentrations of vapour is harmful and
may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death.
Vapour is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygen
available for breathing. These products cause eye and skin
irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.
1.2 - Equipment and components under pressure
These products incorporate equipment or components under
pressure, manufactured by Carrier or other manufacturers. We
recommend that you consult your appropriate national trade
association or the owner of the equipment or components under
pressure (declaration, re-qualification, retesting, etc.). The
characteristics of this equipment/these components are given
on the nameplate or in the required documentation, supplied
with the products.
Do not introduce high static and dynamic pressure compared
with the existing operating pressures - either service or test
pressures in the refrigerant circuit or in the heat transfer circuit,
especially:
limiting the elevation of the condensers or evaporators
taking the circulating pumps into consideration.

1.3 - Maintenance safety considerations

1.4 - Repair safety considerations

Engineers working on the electric or refrigeration components

must be authorized and fully qualified to do so (electricians
trained and qualified in accordance with IEC 60364 Classification BA4).

All installation parts must be maintained by the personnel in

charge, in order to avoid material deterioration and injuries to
people. Faults and leaks must be repaired immediately. The
authorized technician must have the responsibility to repair the
fault immediately. Each time repairs have been carried out to
the unit, the operation of the safety devices must be re-checked.

All refrigerant circuit repairs must be carried out by a trained

person, fully qualified to work on these units. He must have
been trained and be familiar with the equipment and the
installation, and he must wear the necessary protective items
(gloves, glasses, protective clothes, safety shoes).
Soldering and welding: Component, piping and connection
soldering and welding operations must be carried out using the
correct procedures and by qualified operators. Pressurised
containers must not be subjected to shocks, nor to large
temperature variations during maintenance and repair operations.

If a leak occurs or if the refrigerant becomes polluted (e.g. by a

short circuit in a motor) remove the complete charge using a
recovery unit and store the refrigerant in mobile containers
(careful in case the refrigerant decomposes due to high temperature increases, as the decomposition products are dangerous).
If a leak occurs, evacuate all refrigerant, repair the leak detected
and recharge the circuit with the total R407C charge, as indicated on the unit name plate. Never top up the charge. Only
charge liquid refrigerant R407C at the liquid line.

Never work on a unit that is still energized.

Never work on any of the electrical components, until the
general power supply to the unit has been cut using the
disconnect switch in the control box.
If any maintenance operations are carried out on the unit,
lock the power supply circuit in the open position ahead of
the machine.
If the work is interrupted, always ensure that all circuits are
still deenergized before resuming the work.
ATTENTION: Even if the unit has been switched off, the
power circuit remains energized, unless the unit or circuit
disconnect switch is open. Refer to the wiring diagram for
further details. Attach appropriate safety labels.
Operating checks: During the life-time of the system,
inspection and tests must be carried out in accordance with
national regulations.
The information on operating inspections given in annex C of
standard EN378-2 can be used if no similar criteria exist in
the national regulations.
Safety device checks (annex C6 EN378-2): The safety
devices must be checked on site once a year for safety devices
(high-pressure switches), and every five years for external
overpressure devices (safety globe valves).
Contact Carrier Service for a detailed explanation of the
high-pressure switch test method.
If the machine operates in a corrosive environment, inspect
the protection devices more frequently.
Regularly carry out leak tests and immediately repair any
leaks.

Ensure that you are using the correct refrigerant type before
recharging the unit.
Charging any refrigerant other than the original charge type
(R407C) will impair machine operation and can even lead to
a destruction of the compressors. The compressors operating
with this refrigerant type are charged with a synthetic
polyolester oil.
These units have a hermetic refrigerant circuit and the
original charge need not be topped up.
Do not use oxygen to purge lines or to pressurize a machine
for any purpose. Oxygen gas reacts violently with oil, grease,
and other common substances.
Never exceed the specified maximum operating pressures.
Verify the allowable maximum high- and low-side test pressures by checking the instructions in this manual and the
pressures given on the unit name plate.
Do not use air for leak testing. Use only refrigerant or dry
nitrogen.
Do not unweld or flamecut the refrigerant lines or any refrigerant circuit component until all refrigerant (liquid and
vapour) has been removed from unit. Traces of vapour
should be displaced with dry air nitrogen. Refrigerant in
contact with an open flame produces toxic gases.
The necessary protection equipment must be available, and
appropriate fire extinguishers for the system and the
refrigerant type used must be within easy reach.
Do not siphon refrigerant.
Avoid spilling liquid refrigerant on skin or splashing it into
the eyes. Use safety goggles. Wash any spills from the skin
with soap and water. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes,
immediately and abundantly flush the eyes with water and
consult a doctor.
Never apply an open flame or live steam to a refrigerant
container. Dangerous overpressure can result. If it is
necessary to heat refrigerant, use only warm water.
5

During refrigerant removal and storage operations follow

applicable regulations. These regulations, permitting conditioning and recovery of halogenated hydrocarbons under optimum quality conditions for the products and optimum safety
conditions for people, property and the environment are
described in standard NFE 29795.
Any refrigerant transfer and recovery operations must be
carried out using a transfer unit. A 3/8 SAE connector on
the manual liquid line valve is supplied with all units for
connection to the transfer station. The units must never be
modified to add refrigerant and oil charging, removal and
purging devices. All these devices are provided with the units.
Please refer to the certified dimensional drawings for the units.
Do not re-use disposable (non-returnable) cylinders or
attempt to refill them. It is dangerous and illegal. When
cylinders are empty, evacuate the remaining gas pressure,
and move the cylinders to a place designated for their
recovery. Do not incinerate.
Do not attempt to remove refrigerant circuit components or
fittings, while the machine is under pressure or while it is
running. Be sure pressure is at 0 kPa before removing
components or opening a circuit.
Any manipulation (opening or closing) of a shut-off valve
must be carried out by a qualified and authorised engineer.
These procedures must be carried out with the unit shut-down.
NOTE: The unit must never be left shut down with the liquid
line valve closed, as liquid refrigerant can be trapped between
this valve and the expansion device. (This valve is situated on
the liquid line before the filter drier box.)
Do not attempt to repair or recondition any safety devices
when corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt,
scale, etc.) is found within the valve body or mechanism. If
necessary, replace the device. Do not install safety valves in
series or backwards.
CAUTION
Do not step on refrigerant lines. The lines can break under
the weight and release refrigerant, causing personal injury.
No part of the unit must use feet, racks or supports during
operation. Periodically monitor and repair or if necessary
replace any component or piping that shows signs of damage.
Do not climb on a machine. Use a platform, or staging to
work at higher levels.
Use mechanical lifting equipment (crane, hoist, etc.) to lift or
move heavy components such as compressors or plate heat
exchangers. For lighter components, use lifting equipment
when there is a risk of slipping or losing your balance.
Use only original replacement parts for any repair or component replacement. Consult the list of replacement parts that
corresponds to the specification of the original equipment.

Do not drain water circuits containing industrial brines,

without informing the technical service department at the
installation site or a competent body first.
Close the entering and leaving water shutoff valves and
purge the unit hydronic circuit, before working on the
components installed on the circuit (screen filter, pump, water
flow switch, etc.).
Periodically inspect all valves, fittings and pipes of the
refrigerant and hydronic circuits to ensure that they do not
show any corrosion or any signs of leaks.

2 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Confirm that all accessories ordered for on-site installation

have been delivered, and are complete and undamaged.

The unit must be checked periodically during its whole

operating life to ensure that no shocks (handling
accessories, tools etc.) have damaged it. If necessary, the
damaged parts must be repaired or replaced. See also
chapter Maintenance.

2.2.2 - Siting the unit

Always refer to the chapter "Dimensions and clearances" to
confirm that there is adequate space for all connections and
service operations. For the centre of gravity coordinates, the
position of the unit mounting holes, and the weight distribution points, refer to the certified dimensional drawing supplied
with the unit.
CAUTION: Only use slings at the designated lifting points
which are marked on the unit.
Before siting the unit make the following checks:

Check that the permitted loading at the site is adequate or

that appropriate strenghtening measures have been taken.

If the unit will operate as a heat pump in temperatures

below 0C it must be raised at least 300 mm from the
ground. This is necessary to avoid ice build-up on the unit
chassis and also to permit correct unit operation in
locations where the snow level may reach this height. The
unit must be installed level in both axes (less than 2 mm
tolerance per metre).

Check that there is adequate space above the unit for air
flow.

Check that there are adequate support points and that they
are in the right places.

Check that the location is not subject to flooding.

Where heavy snowfall is likely and long periods of subzero temperatures are normal, it is imperative to prevent
snow accumulating by raising the unit above the height of
drifts normally experienced.
Baffles may be necessary to deflect strong winds and to
prevent snow from blowing directly into the unit. They
must not restrict air flow into the unit.
CAUTION: Before lifting the unit, check that all casing
panels are securely fixed in place. Lift and set down the unit
with great care. Tilting and jarring can damage the unit and
impair unit operation.
The 30RH units can be hoisted with rigging. Coils should
always be protected against crushing while a unit is being
moved. Use struts or spreader bars to spread the slings above
the unit. Do not tilt a unit more than 15.
WARNING: Never push or lever on any of the enclosure
panels of the unit. Only the base of the unit frame is designed
to withstand such stresses.

Checks before system start-up

Before the start-up of the refrigeration system, the complete
installation, including the refrigeration system must be verified
against the installation drawings, dimensional drawings, system
piping and instrumentation diagrams and the wiring diagrams.
During the installation test national regulations must be
followed. If no national regulation exists, paragraph 9-5 of
standard EN 378-2 can be used as a guide.
External visual installation checks:

Compare the complete installation with the refrigeration

system and power circuit diagrams.

Check that all components comply with the design

specifications.

Check that all safety documents and equipments that are

required by current European standards are present.

Verify that all safety and environmental protection devices

and arrangements are in place and comply with the current
European standard.

Verify that all document for pressure containers,

certificates, name plates, files, instruction manuals that are
required documents required by the current European
standards are present.

Verify the free passage of access and safety routes.

Check that ventilation in the plant room is adequate.

Check that refrigerant detectors are present.

Verify the instructions and directives to prevent the

deliberate removal of refrigerant gases that are harmful to
the environment.

Verify the installation of connections.

Verify the supports and fixing elements (materials, routing

and connection).

Verify the quality of welds and other joints.

Check the protection against mechanical damage.

Check the protection against heat.

Check the protection of moving parts.

Verify the accessibility for maintenance or repair and to

check the piping.

Verify the status of the valves.

Verify the quality of the thermal insulation and of the

vapour barriers.

7.1 - Power supply

7.2 - Voltage phase imbalance (%)

The power supply must conform to the specification on the unit

name plate. The supply voltage must be within the range
specified in the electrical data table.
For connections refer to the wiring diagrams.

100 x max. deviation from average voltage

Average voltage

WARNING: Operation of the unit with an improper supply

voltage or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse which
will invalidate the Carrier warranty. If the phase imbalance
exceeds 2% for voltage, or 10% for current, contact your
local electricity supply source at once and ensure that the unit
is not switched on until corrective measures have been taken.

Example:
On a 400 V - 3 ph - 50 Hz supply, the individual phase voltages
were measured to be:
AB = 406 V ; BC = 399 ; AC = 394 V
Average voltage

= (406 + 399 + 394)/3 = 1199/3

= 399.7 say 400 V

Calculate the maximum deviation from the 400 V average:

(AB) = 406 - 400 = 6
(BC) = 400 - 399 = 1
(CA) = 400 - 394 = 6

Motor

The maximum deviation from the average is 6 V. The greatest

percentage deviation is:100 x 6/400 = 1.5 %
This is less than the permissible 2% and is therefore acceptable.

8 - RECOMMENDED WIRE SECTIONS

8.1 - Field control wiring

Wire sizing is the responsibility of the installer, and depends on

the characteristics and regulations applicable to each installation
site. The following is only to be used as a guideline, and does
not make Carrier in any way liable. After wire sizing has been
completed, using the certified dimensional drawing, the installer must ensure easy connection and define any modifications
necessary on site. The connections provided as standard for the
field-supplied power entry cables to the general disconnect/
isolator switch are designed for the number and type of wires,
listed in the table below.

For the field control wiring of the following elements please

refer to the 30RA/RY - RH/RYH A series Pro-Dialog Plus
Control manual, and the certified wiring diagram supplied with
the unit:
Remote unit start/stop
Remote heating/cooling selection
Remote demand limit or second set point
Customer interlock
General alarm, circuit A
General alarm, circuit B
Boiler control

The calculations are based on the maximum machine current

(see electrical data tables) and the standard installation practises,
in accordance with IEC 60364, table 52C.
-

For 30RH units, installed outside, the following standard

installation practises have been maintained:
No.17: suspended aerial lines, and No. 61: buried
conduit with a derating coefficient of 20.
The calculation is based on PVC or XLPE insulated
cables with copper core.
A maximum ambient temperature of 46C has been
taken into consideration.
The given wire length limits the voltage drop to < 5%
(see table below).

IMPORTANT: Before connection of the main power cables

(L1 - L2 - L3) on the terminal block, it is imperative to check
the correct order of the 3 phases before proceeding to the
connection on the main disconnect/isolator switch.

9 - WATER CONNECTIONS
For size and position of the unit water inlet and outlet connections refer to the certified dimensional drawings supplied with
the unit. The water pipes must not transmit any radial or axial
force to the heat exchangers nor any vibration.
The water supply must be analysed and appropriate filtering,
treatment, control devices, shutoff and bleed valves and circuits
built in, to prevent corrosion (example: damage to the protection
of the tube surface if the fluid is polluted), fouling and deterioration of the pump fittings.
Before any start-up verify that the heat exchange fluid is
compatible with the materials and the water circuit coating.
In case additives or other fluids than those recommended by
Carrier s.a are used, ensure that the fluids are not considered as
a gas, and that they belong to class 2, as defined in directive
97/23/EC.
Carrier s.a. recommendations on heat exchange fluids:
1. No NH4+ ammonium ions in the water, they are very
detrimental for copper. This is one of the most important
factors for the operating life of copper piping. A content
of several tenths of mg/l will badly corrode the copper
over time.
2. Cl- Chloride ions are detrimental for copper with a risk of
perforations by corrosion by puncture. If possible keep
below 10 mg/l.
3. SO42- sulphate ions can cause perforating corrosion, if
their content is above 30 mg/l.
4. No fluoride ions (<0.1 mg/l).
5. No Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions with non negligible levels of
dissolved oxygen must be present. Dissolved iron < 5 mg/
l with dissolved oxygen < 5 mg/l.
6. Dissolved silicon: silicon is an acid element of water and
can also lead to corrosion risks. Content < 1mg/l.
7. Water hardness: TH >2.8 K. Values between 10 and 25
can be recommended. This will facilitate scale deposit that
can limit corrosion of copper. TH values that are too high
can cause piping blockage over time. A total alkalimetric
titre (TAC) below 100 is desirable.
8. Dissolved oxygen: Any sudden change in water oxygenation conditions must be avoided. It is as detrimental to
deoxygenate the water by mixing it with inert gas as it is
to over-oxygenate it by mixing it with pure oxygen. The
disturbance of the oxygenation conditions encourages
destabilisation of copper hydroxides and enlargement of
particles.
9. Specific resistance electric conductivity: the higher the
specific resistance, the slower the corrosion tendency.
Values above 3000 Ohm/cm are desirable. A neutral
environment favours maximum specific resistance values.
For electric conductivity values in the order of 200-6000
S/cm can be recommended.
10. pH: Ideal case pH neutral at 20-25C (7 < pH < 8).
ATTENTION: Charging, adding or draining fluid from the
water circuit must be done by qualified personnel, using air
vents and materials suitable for the products. The water
circuit charging devices are field-supplied.

18

Charging and removing heat exchange fluids should be done

with devices that must be included on the water circuit by the
installer. Never use the unit heat exchangers to add heat
exchange fluid.
9.1 - Operating precautions and recommendations
The water circuit should be designed to have the least number
of elbows and horizontal pipe runs at different levels. Below
the main points to be checked for the connection:

Comply with the water inlet and outlet connections shown

on the unit.

Install manual or automatic air purge valves at all high

points in the circuit.

Use an expansion device to maintain pressure in the

system and install a safety valve as well as an expansion
tank.
Units with a hydronic module include the safety valve and
the expansion tank.

Install thermometers in both the entering and leaving

water connections.

Install drain connections at all low points to allow the

whole circuit to be drained.

Install stop valves, close to the entering and leaving water

connections.

Use flexible connections to reduce the transmission of

vibrations.

Insulate all pipework, after testing for leaks, both to

reduce thermal leaks and to prevent condensation.

If the external unit water pipes are in an area, where the

ambient temperature is likely to fall below 0C, insulate the
piping and add an electric heater. The internal unit piping
is protected down to -20C.
NOTE: For units not equipped with a hydronic module a
screen filter must be installed as close to the heat exchanger
as possible, in a position that is easily accessible for removal
and cleaning. Units with hydronic module are equipped with
this type of filter.
The mesh size of the filter must be 1.2 mm.
The plate heat exchanger can foul up quickly at the initial
unit start-up, as it complements the filter function, and the
unit operation will be impaired (reduced water flow rate due
to increased pressure drop).
Before the system start-up verify that the water circuits are
connected to the appropriate heat exchangers (e.g. no
reversal between evaporator and condenser).
Do not introduce any significant static or dynamic pressure
into the heat exchange circuit (with regard to the design
operating pressures).
The products that may be added for thermal insulation of the
containers during the water piping connection procedure
must be chemically neutral in relation to the materials and
coatings to which they are applied. This is also the case for
the products originally supplied by Carrier s.a.

9.2 - Hydronic connections

The diagram on the next page shows a typical hydronic
installation.
When charging the water circuit use air vents to evacuate any
residual air pockets.
9.3 - Frost protection
The plate heat exchangers, the piping and the hydronic module
pump can be damaged by frost, despite the built-in anti-freeze
protection of these units.
The frost protection of plate heat exchanger and all hydronic
module components is guaranteed down to -20C by
automatically energized heaters and pump cycling.
Never switch off the evaporator and hydronic circuit heaters or
the pump, otherwise frost protection cannot be guaranteed.
The main unit disconnect switch (QS101) as well as the auxiliary protection switch (QF101) for the heaters must always be
left closed (for location of QS and QF 101 see wiring diagram).

IMPORTANT:
Depending on the atmospheric conditions in your area you
must do the following when switching the unit off in winter:
Add ethylene glycol with an adequate concentration to protect the installation up to a temperature of 10 K below the
lowest temperature likely to occur at the installation site.
If the unit is not used for an extended period, it is
recommended to drain it, and as a safety precaution
introduce ethylene glycol in the heat exchanger, using
the water entering purge valve connection.
At the start of the next season, refill the unit with water
and add an inhibitor.
For the installation of auxiliary equipment, the installer
must comply with basic regulations, especially for
minimum and maximum flow rates, which must be
between the values listed in the operating limit table
(application data).
To prevent corrosion by differential aeration, the complete drained heat transfer circuit must be charged with
nitrogen for a period of one month. If the heat transfer
fluid does not comply with the Carrier S.A. regulations,
the nitrogen charge must be added immediately.

To ensure frost protection down to -20C, water circulation in

the water circuit must be maintained by periodically switching
on the pump. If a shut-off valve is installed, a bypass must be
included as shown below.

10 - NOMINAL SYSTEM WATER FLOW CONTROL

Entering water pressure reading

The water circulation pumps of the 30RH units have been sized
to allow the hydronic modules to cover all possible configurations based on the specific installation conditions, i.e. for
various temperature differences between the entering and the
leaving water (T) at full load, which can vary between 3 and
10C.

This required difference between the entering and leaving water

temperature determines the nominal system flow rate. It is
above all absolutely necessary to know the nominal system flow
rate to allow its control via a manual valve provided in the water
leaving piping of the module (item 9 in the typical hydronic
circuit diagram).

Leaving water pressure reading

With the pressure loss generated by the control valve in the

hydronic system, the valve is able to impose the system pressure/
flow curve on the pump pressure/flow curve, to obtain the
desired operating point (see example for 30RH 100). The pressure drop reading in the plate heat exchanger is used to control
and adjust the nominal system flow rate. The pressure drop is
measured with the pressure gauge connected to the heat
exchanger water inlet and outlet.

Air vent

Use this specification for the unit selection to know the system
operating conditions and to deduce the nominal air flow as well
as the plate heat exchanger pressure drop at the specified conditions. If this information is not available at the system startup, contact the technical service department responsible for the
installation to get it.
These characteristics can be obtained from the technical
literature using the unit performance tables for a T of 5 K at
the evaporator or with the Electronic Catalogue selection
program for all T conditions other than 5 K in the range of 3
to 10 K.

As the total system pressure drop is not known exactly at the

start-up, the water flow rate must be adjusted with the control
valve provided to obtain the specific flow rate for this application.

Applicable for unit sizes 040 to 160

Proceed as follows:
Open the valve fully (approximately 9 turns counter-clockwise).

If the pressure drop has increased, this indicates that the screen
filter must be removed and cleaned, as the hydronic circuit
contains solid particles. In this case close the shutoff valves at
the water inlet and outlet and remove the screen filter after
emptying the hydronic section of the unit.

Start-up the pump using the forced start command (refer to the
controls manual) and let the pump run for two consecutive
hours to clean the hydronic circuit of the system (presence of
solid contaminants).

Renew, if necessary, to ensure that the filter is not contaminated. Purge the air from the circuit (see 'Air vent' diagram).

Read the plate heat exchanger pressure drop by taking the

difference of the readings of the pressure gauge connected to
the plate heat exchanger inlet and outlet, using valves (see
diagrams below), and comparing this value after two hours of
operation.

21

10.3 - Pump pressure/flow rate curves

When the circuit is cleaned, read the pressures at the

pressure gauge (entering water pressure - leaving water
pressure), expressed in bar and convert this value to kPa
(multiply by 100) to find out the plate heat exchanger
pressure drop.

Single pumps
325
300

Compare the value obtained with the theoretical selection value.

If the pressure drop measured is higher than the value specified
this means that the flow rate in the plate heat exchanger (and
thus in the system) is too high. The pump supplies an excessive
flow rate based on the global pressure drop of the application.
In this case close the control valve one turn and read the new
pressure difference.

Proceed by successively closing the control valve until you

obtain the specific pressure drop that corresponds to the nominal
flow rate at the required unit operating point.
If the system has an excessive pressure drop in relation to
the available static pressure provided by the pump, the
resulting water flow rate will de reduced and the
difference between entering and leaving water
temperature of the hydronic module will be increased.

11 - START-UP
11.1 - Preliminary checks
-

Never be tempted to start the unit without reading fully,

and understanding, the operating instructions and without
having carried out the following pre-start checks:
Check the water circulation pumps, air handling units and
all other equipment connected to the heat exchanger.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
For units without hydronic module, the water pump
overheat protection device must be connected in series
with the pump contactor power supply. If the pump is not
supplied with the unit (unit without hydronic module),
verify that the power input of the field-installed pump
does not exceed the rating of the standard pump contactor,
supplied in the control box (max. 3 kW for 30RH 040-160,
and 5.5 kW for 30RH 200-240 units).
Refer to the wiring diagram supplied with the unit.
Ensure that there are no refrigerant leaks.
Confirm that all pipe securing bands are tight.
Confirm the the electrical connections are secure.

Depending on the installation and control type, each unit can

control its own water pump. If there is only one common pump
for the two units, the master unit can control this. In this case
shut-off valves must be installed on each unit. They will be
activated at the opening and closing by the control of each unit
(and the valves will be controlled using the dedicated water
pump outputs).

11.2 - Actual start-up

IMPORTANT

Commissioning and start-up of the unit must be

supervised by a qualified refrigeration engineer.

Start-up and operating tests must be carried out with a

thermal load applied and water circulating in the heat
exchanger.

All set-point adjustments and control tests must be

carried out before the unit is started up.

Please refer to the 30RA/RY - RH/RYH A series ProDialog Plus Control manual.

30RH 090 to 240 (with configuration: leaving water

control - two-circuit units only)

The unit should be started up in Local heating L-H mode.

Ensure that all safety devices are satisfied, especially the high
pressure switches with manual reset.

11.3 - Operation of two units in master/slave mode

The control of a master/slave assembly is in the entering water
and does not require any additional sensors (standard configuration). For unit sizes 090 to 240 the control can also be
located in the leaving water. In this case two additional sensors
must be added on the common piping.
All parameters, required for the master/slave function must be
configured using the Service Configuration menu. All remote
controls of the master/slave assembly (start/stop, set point, load
shedding etc.) are controlled by the unit configured as master
and must only be applied to the master unit.

Typical accessory installation diagram

1

To permit staging of the capacity reduction of the heat pump at

low ambient temperatures, as shown in the diagram below, it is
possible to install supplementary electric heaters in the leaving
water line. Their capacity can compensate for the capacity drop
of the heat pump.

2
3

These heaters can be controlled via an electronic card mounted

on a board (accessory).
Four outputs are available to control the heater contactors (not
supplied with the board), permitting gradual compensation of
the heat pump capacity reduction.

These outputs are configurable to obtain a choice of two, three

or four stages. The last stage will only be activated after a shutdown of the heat pump following a fault condition (safety
device).
5

In the diagram below example of additional electric heaters

the capacity of the four heaters is the same as the capacity of
the heat pump at 7C outdoor air temperature.
This requires only a 400 V-3 ph-50 Hz power supply source, as
well as a connection to the unit via a communication bus.

Any technician attending the machine for any purpose must be

fully qualified to work on refrigerant and electrical circuits.
All refrigerant charging, removal and draining operations
must be carried out by a qualified technician and with the
correct material for the unit. Any inappropriate handling can
lead to uncontrolled fluid or pressure leaks.
WARNING: Before doing any work on the machine ensure
that the power is switched off. If a refrigerant circuit is opened,
it must be evacuated, recharged and tested for leaks. Before
any operation on a refrigerant circuit, it is necessary to
remove the complete refrigerant charge from the unit with a
refrigerant charge recovery group.
12.1 - Maintenance of the refrigerant circuit
12.1.1 - General maintenance

Keep the unit itself and the space around it clean and free
of obstructions. Remove all rubbish such as packing
materials, as soon as the installation is completed.

Regularly clean the exposed pipework to remove all dust

and dirt. This makes detection of water leaks easier, and
they can be repaired before more serious faults develop.

Confirm that all screwed and bolted connections and

joints are secure. Secure connections prevent leaks and
vibration from developing.

Check that all insulation joints are securely closed and

that all insulation is firmly in place. Check all heat
exchangers and all pipework.
12.1.2 - Refrigerant charge volume
30RH units can operate in cooling or heating mode.

In the heating mode the water heat exchanger has a low volume
on the refrigerant side and can therefore not obtain the necessary
subcooling by itself. The water heat exchanger is only used to
obtain desuperheat and condensing of the refrigerant.
Subcooling is realised in a liquid-vapour heat exchanger,
external to the water heat exchanger. This receiver/heat exchanger
has the dual function of storing the excess charge in the heating
mode and of subcooling the refrigerant. The excess charge to
be stored in the heating mode is approximately the same as half
the total charge for the cooling mode.
The patented design of this receiver/heat exchanger is optimised to achieve these two functions. Three different receiver
sizes are available for the units, depending on the circuit volume.
In these receivers the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is subcooled by the suction gas which is thus superheated.
The superheating of the suction gas in the receiver also permits
optimising the air heat exchanger performance (superheat zero
at the evaporator outlet). It is imperative to operate the unit in
the cooling mode to be able to check if the unit charge is
correct by verifying the actual subcooling (see diagram).
26

The diagram corresponds to the conditions described in the

paragraph Verification of the charge.
Following a leak, a refrigerant charge loss of 5% and 10%,
compared to the initial charge will be noticeable in the cooling
mode and affect the subcooling value, obtained at the air heat
exchanger (condenser) outlet.
with -5% charge -2 K are obtained compared with the
original subcooling of 6 K
with -10% charge -4 K are obtained compared with the
original subcooling of 6 K.
The variation of the following parameters should be considered
following a loss of charge:
Noticeable increase of the superheat with a simultaneous
reduction of the saturated suction and discharge
temperatures.
The same leakage level does not affect the operation in
the heating mode because of the excess refrigerant charge
in this mode.
IMPORTANT: It is not possible to optimise the charge in the
heating mode, following a leak. It is imperative to operate the
unit in the cooling mode in order to check, if topping up of
the charge is necessary.

The cooling mode determines the refrigerant charge for the

30RH units (see Physical Data table). The required refrigerant
charge to ensure a liquid seal and obtaining the required subcooling is most important in the cooling mode.

This diagram shows the effect of a refrigerant loss in the

cooling mode from the original unit charge to 25% leakage,
and the effect on the saturated suction and discharge temperatures and the superheat and actual subcooling of the fluid.

CAUTION: The 30RH units are supplied with a precise

refrigerant charge (see Physical Data table).
5

In order to measure the liquid refrigerant pressure and temperature ahead of the expansion device, an access port must be
opened on the expansion device which causes a slight air bypass
on the condenser. Wait until unit operation has stabilized before
carrying out pressure and temperature measurements.
WARNING: To ensure proper operation of 30RH units there
must be at least 12 K of subcooling as the liquid refrigerant
enters the expansion valve.
The 30RH units use refrigerant. For your information, we are
reproducing here some extracts from the official publication
dealing with the design, installation, operation and
maintenance of air conditioning and refrigeration systems
and the training of people involved in these activities, agreed
by the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

Pressure

To verify the correct system charge prodeed as follows:

Set unit to cooling mode.
Ensure that no bubbles appear in the sight-glass, when operating the unit at full load for a while, at a saturated condensing
temperature of between 55 and 57C. If necessary cover a section of the coil surface to obtain this condensing temperature.
Under these conditions the apparent subcooling which is equal
to the saturated condensing temperature (1 - on the saturated
dew point curve) minus the liquid refrigerant temperature (3)
ahead of the expansion device must be between 12 and 14C.
This corresponds to an actual subcooling temperature of
between 5 and 7 K at the condenser outlet, depending on the
unit type. Actual subcooling is equal the saturated liquid
temperature (2 - on the saturated bubble point curve) minus the
liquid refrigerant temperature (3) ahead of the expansion
device. Use the pressure tap supplied on the liquid piping to
charge refrigerant and to find out the pressure of the liquid
refrigerant. If the subcooling value is not correct, i.e. lower
than the specified values, a leak detection test must be carried
out on the unit, as it no longer contains its original charge.

12.1.5 - Principles
Refrigeration installations must be inspected and maintained
regularly and rigorously by specialists. Their activities must be
overseen and checked by properly trained people. To minimise
discharge to the atmosphere, refrigerants and lubricating oil
must be transferred using methods which reduce leaks and
losses to a minimum and with materials that are suitable for the
products.

Leaks must be repaired immediately

All units are equipped with connections on the suction

and liquid line, which permit the connection of refrigerant
recovery valves.

If the residual pressure is too low to make the transfer

alone, a purpose-built refrigerant recovery unit must be
used.

Compressor lubricating oil contains refrigerant. Any oil

drained from a system during maintenance must therefore
be handled and stored accordingly.

Refrigerant under pressure must never be discharged to

the atmosphere.

If the refrigerant circuit is opened, plug all openings if the

operation takes up to one day, or charge the circuit with
nitrogen for longer operations.

27

12.1.6 - Recharging liquid refrigerant

CAUTION: 30RH units are charged with liquid HFC-407C
refrigerant.
This non-azeotropic refrigerant blend consists of 23% R-32,
25% of R-125 and 52% R-134a, and is characterised by the
fact that at the time of the change in state the temperature of
the liquid/vapour mixture is not constant, as with azeotropic
refrigerants. All checks must be pressure tests, and the
appropriate pressure/temperature ratio table must be used to
determine the corresponding saturated temperatures
(saturated bubble point curve or saturated dew point curve).
Leak detection is especially important for units charged with
refrigerant R-407C. Depending on whether the leak occurs in
the liquid or in the vapour phase, the proportion of the
different components in the remaining liquid is not the same.
NOTE: Regularly carry out leak checks and immediately
repair any leak found. If there is a leak in the plate heat
exchanger, this part must be replaced.
12.1.7 - Undercharge
If there is not enough refrigerant in the system, this is indicated
by gas bubbles in the moisture sight glass in the cooling mode.
If the undercharge is significant, large bubbles appear in the
moisture sight glass, and the suction pressure drops. The
compressor suction superheat is also high. The machine must
be recharged after the leak has been repaired.

Find the leak and completely drain the system with a refrigerant
recovery unit. Carry out the repair, leak test and then recharge
the system.
IMPORTANT: After the leak has been repaired, the circuit
must be tested, without exceeding the maximum low-side
operating pressure shown on the unit name plate.
The refrigerant must always be recharged in the liquid phase
into the liquid line.
The refrigerant cylinder must always contain at least 10% of its
initial charge.
For the refrigerant quantity per circuit, refer to the data on the
unit name plate.
12.1.8 - Characteristics of R407C
See the table below.
Saturated bubble point temperatures (bubble point curve)
Saturated dew point temperatures (dew point curve)
12.2 - Electrical maintenance
When working on the unit comply with all safety precautions
decribed in section Maintenance safety considerations.
It is strongly recommended to change the fuses in the
units every 15000 operating hours or every 3 years.
It is recommended to verify that all electrical connections
are tight:
a. after the unit has been received at the moment of
installation and before the first start-up,
b. one month after the first start-up,when the electrical
components have reached their nominal operating
temperatures,
c. then regularly once a year.

12.3 - Condenser coil

We recommend, that finned coils are inspected regularly to
check the degree of fouling. This depends on the environment
where the unit is installed, and will be worse in urban and
industrial installations and near trees that shed their leaves.

13 - AQUASNAP MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

For coil cleaning proceed as follows:

Remove fibres and dust collected on the condenser face

with a soft brush (or vacuum cleaner).

Clean the coil with the appropriate cleaning agents.

Maintenance instructions
During the unit operating life the service checks and tests must
be carried out in accordance with applicable national regulations.

We recommend TOTALINE products for coil cleaning:

Part No. P902 DT 05EE: traditional cleaning method
Part No. P902 CL 05EE: cleaning and degreasing.

All maintenance operations must be carried out by technicians

who have been trained on Carrier products, observing all
Carrier quality and safety standards.

If there are no similar criteria in local regulations, the

information on checks during operation in annex C of standard
EN 378-2 can be used.
External visual checks: annex A and B of standard EN 378-2

These products have a neutral pH value, do not contain phosphates, are not harmful to the human body, and can be disposed
of through the public drainage system.
Depending on the degree of fouling both products can be used
diluted or undiluted.
For normal maintenance routines we recommend using 1 kg of
the concentrated product, diluted to 10%, to treat a coil surface
of 2 m2. This process can either be carried out with a TOTALINE
applicator gun (part No. TE01 WA 4000EE) or using a highpressure spray gun in the low-pressure position. With pressurised cleaning methods care should be taken not to damage the
coil fins. The spraying of the coil must be done:
in the direction of the fins
in the opposite direction of the air flow direction
with a large diffuser (25-30)
at a distance of 300 mm.
The two cleaning products can be used for any of the following
coil finishes: Cu/Cu, Cu/Al, Cu/Al with Polual, Blygold and/or
Heresite protection.
It is not necessary to rinse the coil, as the products used are pH
neutral. To ensure that the coil is perfectly clean, we recommend
rinsing with a low water flow rate. The pH value of the water
used should be between 7 and 8.
WARNING: Never use pressurized water without a large
diffusor. Concentrated and/or rotating water jets are strictly
forbidden.
Correct and frequent cleaning (approximately every three
months) will prevent 2/3 of the corrosion problems.
Never use a fluid with a temperature above 45C to clean the
air heat exchangers.

Corrosion checks: annex D of standard EN 378-2. These

controls must be carried out:
After an intervention that is likely to affect the resistance
or a change in use or change of high-pressure refrigerant,
or after a shut down of more than two years. Components
that do not comply, must be changed. Test pressures
above the respective component design pressure must not
be applied (annex B and D).
After repair or significant modifications or significant
system or component extension (annex B)
After re-installation at another site (annexes A, B and D)
After repair following a refrigerant leak (annex D). The
frequency of refrigerant leak detection can vary from once
per year for systems with less than 1% leak rate per year
to once a day for systems with a leak rate of 35% per year
or more. The frequency is in proportion with the leak rate.
NOTE: High leak rates are not acceptable. The necessary
steps must be taken to eliminate any leak detected.
NOTE 2: Fixed refrigerant detectors are not leak detectors,
as they cannot locate the leak.
13.1 - Maintenance schedule
Regular maintenance is indispensable to optimise the operating
life and reliability of the equipment. Maintenance operations
must be carried out in accordance with the schedules below:
Service
A
B
C
D

Frequency
Weekly
Monthly
Annually
Special cases

If the equipment does not operate normally during maintenance

operations, please refer to the paragraph on diagnostics and
breakdowns of the '30RA/RY - 30RH/RYH A Pro-Dialog Plus'
controls manual.
IMPORTANT: Before each equipment maintenance
operation please ensure that:
the unit is in the OFF position
it is impossible for the unit to restart automatically
during maintenance.

13.2 - Description of the maintenance operations

The equipment is supplied with polyolester oil (POE). Only
use oil approved by Carrier. On request Carrier can carry out
an oil analysis of your installation.
Service A
Full-load operating test
Verify the following values:
compressor high-pressure side discharge pressure
compressor low-pressure side suction pressure
charge visible in the sight glass
temperature difference between the heat exchanger water
entering and leaving temperature.
Verify the alarm status
Service B
Carrier out the operations listed under Service A.
Refrigerant circuit
Verify the air heat exchanger cleanliness status and clean
it at least once a year, or more often if the equipment
environment is especially demanding. To clean the
equipment, follow the Carrier recommendations. Among
other things, this ensures that the unit performances can
be guaranteed.
Full-load operating test. In addition to the operations
described under Service A, check the following values:
compressor discharge pressure
compressor oil level
actual liquid subcooling
overheating at the expansion device
on heat pumps verify correct defrost of the air heat
exchanger.
Verify the charge status by checking the colour indicator
of the sight glass. If the colour has turned to yellow,
change the charge and replace the filter drier after
carrying out a leak test of the circuit.
Electrical checks
Check the tightening of the electric connections,
contactors, disconnect switch and transformer.
Check the status of the contactors, fuses and capacitators,
as required.
Carry out a quick test (refer to the manual for the
Aquasnap Pro-Dialog Plus control).
Mechanical checks
Verify that nothing impedes the rotation of the fan
impeller of the air heat exchanger.
Water circuit checks
Check the leak-tightness of the circuit.

Service C
Carry out the operations listed under Service B.
Refrigerant circuit
Check the leak-tightness of the circuit and ensure that
there is no piping damage.
Carry out an oil contamination test. If acid, water or
metallic particles are present replace the oil in the circuit.
Verify the tightening of the thermostatic mechanism of
the expansion device.
Full-load operating test. In addition to the checks carried
out under Service B, validate the values of the heat
exchanger inlet and outlet tightening.
Check the operation of the high-pressure and low-pressure
switches. Replace them if there is a fault.

and control box fixing bolts.
Check that no water has penetrated into the control box.
All metallic parts of the unit (chassis, casing panels,
control boxes, heat exchangers etc.) are protected against
corrosion by a coating of powder or liquid paint. To
prevent the risk of blistering corrosion that can appear
when moisture penetrates under the protective coatings, it
is necessary to carry out periodic checks of the coating
(paint) condition.
Water circuit checks
Clean the water filter.
Purge the circuit with air.
Verify the correct operation of the water flow switch.
Check the status of the thermal piping insulation.
