SECTION II: INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
II.2.6 NOISE REDUCTION
IMPORTANT!
The unit is designed for outdoor installation;
therefore local and national standards in force
regulating noise levels must be complied with.
Incorrect positioning or installation may cause an
amplification of the noise or vibrations produced
while the unit is running.
○ During installation it is IMPORTANT to bear in mind the following:
• non-soundproofed reflecting walls near the unit (such as balcony
walls or the perimeter walls of a building), may increase the total sound
pressure level reading near the appliance by as much as 3 dB(A) for
every surface (e.g. 2 corner walls cause an increase of 6 dB(A);
• install suitable vibration-damping supports under the unit to avoid
transmitting vibrations to the building structure;
• rigid frames may be installed on the top floor of the building to
support the unit and transmit its weight to the load bearing structures of
the building;
• carry out all water connections using elastic joints. Pipes must be
firmly supported by solid structures. If the pipes are routed through
walls or panels, insulate with elastic sleeves.
○ If there are any structural vibrations in the building (after the unit
has been installed and has started to run) which provoke such strong
resonance that noise is generated in other points of the building, consult
a qualified acoustic technician for a complete analysis of the problem.

II.4.2.1.1 Condensing coil: cleaning and inspection
The following operations should be carried out while the unit is switched
off and taking care not to damage the fins:
• remove any foreign bodies from the condensing coils which may
block the passage of air, such as: leaves, paper, debris, etc.;
• use a jet of compressed air to remove any dust deposits;
• gently wash and brush with water;
• dry using a jet of compressed air.
To further safeguard the coils, we recommend assembling the
accessory KRP- Coil Protective Mesh.
II.4.2.2 Water evaporator: inspection and wash-out
Plate exchangers are not subject to fouling in rated running conditions.
The working temperatures of the unit, the speed of the water in the
pipes and the suitable finish of the heat exchanging surface reduce to a
minimum fouling of the exchangers.
Any dirt that may form in the water circuit or any sand that cannot be
trapped by the, as well as extremely hard water conditions or the
concentration of any antifreeze solution, may dirt the exchangers and
undermine their heat exchanging efficiency. In this case it is necessary
to wash the exchangers with suitable chemical detergents. If necessary
provide already existing circuits with adequate charge and discharge
connections. Use a tank containing weak acid: 5% phosphoric acid, or if
the exchangers have to be cleaned often: 5% oxalic acid. The liquid
detergent must circulate around the exchanger at a flow rate at least 1.5
End of times higher than the rated working flow rate. The first detergent cycle
season cleans up the worst of the dirt. After the first cycle, carry out another
cycle with clean detergent to complete the operation. Before starting up
the system again, rinse abundantly with water to get rid of any traces of
pump.

II.4.3 SEASONAL BREAKS
DANGER!
When the appliance is not used for long periods of
time, disconnect the unit by opening the general
isolator with door interlock on the power circuit.
To avoid the migration of coolant into the compressor while the
appliance is not in use, stock the coolant charge in the condensing coils
by carrying out a pump-out procedure.
II.5 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
Maintenance work must be carried out by skilled
technicians from service centres authorised by
RHOSS, qualified to work on this type of product.
DANGER!
Do not introduce pointed objects through the air
delivery intake grilles.
DANGER!
Always act on the disconnecting switch to
disconnect the unit from the mains power supply
before carrying out any maintenance work, even if
you only intend to make an inspection.
DANGER!
In the case of cooling or fan circuit component
breakage or a drop in the coolant gas charge, the
upper part of the compressor casing and the
discharge line may reach temperatures as high as
180°C for brief periods of time.
II.5.1 REPAIRS AND COMPONENT
REPLACEMENT
• If any of the cooling circuit components need replacing, it is
necessary to bear in mind the indications in the following Paragraphs.
• Always refer to the wiring diagrams enclosed with the appliance
when replacing electrically powered components. Always take care to
clearly label each wire before disconnecting to avoid making mistakes
later when re-wiring.
• When the machine is started up again, always repeat the start-up
procedure outlined in Paragraph II.2.3.7.
• After carrying out any maintenance work, keep an eye on the liquid-
moisture sight-glass (LUE). After the appliance has been running for at
least 12 hours the cooling circuit must be completely “dry” and the LUE
must be green, otherwise replace the filter.
II.5.1.1 Topping up or replacing the coolant
○ The units are factory tested with a suitable coolant charge. When
the charged is replaced or topped up, the ambient and working
conditions of the appliance must be taken into account.
○ While the unit is running the coolant may be topped up on the low
pressure branch, upstream of the evaporator, using the pressure
connections provided. Any topping up of coolant must be carried out
while the coolant is in a liquid state to avoid changing its composition.
18
SECTION II: INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
○ While topping up, watch the liquid indicator to make sure the liquid
is completely clear without any bubbles whatsoever.
○ Only restore the gas charge following maintenance operations on
the cooling circuit after the circuit has been washed-out very carefully
and after the following operations have been carried out:
• install an antacid filter on the compressor inlet and then run the unit
for at least 24 hours;
• check the degree of acidity, if necessary change the gas and oil and
then run the unit for at least 24 hours;
• remove the antacid filter cartridge.
II.5.1.2 Compressor operation
While the unit is switched off, the oil level in the compressors must
reach half way up the sight glass on the casing. The oil may be topped
up after pumping-out the compressors, using the pressure connection
on the compressor inlet.
Whenever the overload protection is triggered, normal running
conditions are automatically restored when the temperature of the
windings falls below the set safety value (this could take from a few
minutes to some hours). The power circuit overload protection is
managed by the microprocessor controller. Once the overload
protection has been triggered and reset, it is necessary to reset the
alarm on the control board. We recommend installing a remote
controlled lamp/LED signal for each compressor to warn that the
overload protections have been triggered.
II.5.1.3 ST2 antifreeze safety temperature sensor
operation
After the sensor has been activated, the alarm on the control board
must be reset. The unit restarts automatically only when the water
temperature exceeds the intervention differential.
Check the efficiency of the antifreeze protection with the help of a
precision thermometer immersed with the sensor in a container full of
cold water at a temperature below the antifreeze alarm temperature
setting. This may be done after the sensor has been removed from the
pocket on the evaporator outlet; take care not to damage the sensor
while removing it from its pocket. The sensor must be replaced with the
utmost care: introduce some conduction paste into the pocket, insert
the sensor and re-seal the external part with silicone to prevent it from
slipping out.
II.5.1.4 VTE/VTI thermostat operation
The thermal expansion valve is calibrated to maintain the gas
superheated by at least 6°C, to avoid any liquid being sucked into the
compressor.
If the superheating setting needs to be changed, act on the valve as
follows:
1. Bulb with MOP charge
2. Equalisation capillary connection
3. Valve body
4. Superheating adjustment screw
Fig. 12
Remove the screwcap on the side of the valve and then act on the
adjustment screw. By increasing or decreasing the amount of coolant,
the superheating temperature value is either decreased or increased.
The temperature and pressure inside the evaporator remains more or
less the same, regardless of changes to the heat load. After any
adjustments to the valve it is advisable to allow a few minutes to elapse
to give the system the chance to re-stabilise.
 SECTION II: INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

II.5.1.5 PA high pressure switch operation

After the high pressure switch has been triggered the pressure switch
needs to be reset manually by pushing firmly the black press-button on
the pressure switch itself. Then reset the alarm on the control board.
Test: remove the fuses protecting the fans inside the control board,
close the control board and restart the unit, wait for the high pressure
switch to trigger and keep the high pressure gauges under control.
If during the test the pressure indicated on the high pressure gauges
exceeds 25 bar switch the unit off immediately by acting on the ON/OFF
switch on the control board and replace the component.
II.5.1.6 PB low pressure switch operation
After the low pressure switch has been triggered it is necessary to reset
the alarm on the control board. The pressure switch rearms
automatically only when the intake pressure reaches a value above the
differential calibration setting.
Test: while the appliance is running normally, slowly close the cock on
the liquid line. Wait for the low pressure switch to trigger and keep the
low pressure gauges under control.
If during the test the pressure indicated on the low pressure gauges
remains below 0 bar and the pressure switch does not trigger, switch
the unit off immediately by acting on the ON/OFF switch on the control
board and replace the component.
II.5.2 DISMANTLING THE UNIT – DISPOSAL OF
HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS/SUBSTANCES
ENVIRONMENT SAFEGUARD!
RHOSS cares about protecting the environment.
When the unit is dismantled it is important to
adhere scrupulously to the following procedures

○ The unit should only be dismantled by a firm authorized to

dispose of obsolete products/machines.
○ The machine is mainly made up of secondary raw materials
and the following regulations must be observed:
• the compressor oil must be removed, recovered and delivered to a
body authorized to collect exhausted oil;
• if antifreeze has been added to the system, antifreeze is a pollutant
and may not be disposed of freely. It must be recovered and reused if
possible;
• coolant gas may not be discharged into the atmosphere. It must be
recovered using type-approved equipment and adequate gas canisters.
It must then be delivered to an authorized collection centre;
• the dehydrator filter and electronic components (electrolytic
condensers) are considered special waste, and must be delivered to a
body authorized to collect such items;
• the polyurethane foam rubber and foamed polyethylene mesh
insulation on the pipes, the foamed polyurethane covering the
accumulation tank and the sound-absorbent sponge on the casing must
be removed and processed as urban refuse.
