Water-to-water heat pump
Water-to-water heat pump (reversible water circuit), with manual mode
switch. The unit is supplied with anti-freeze oil and refrigerant and has
been factory tested. On-site installation therefore just involves making
connections to the mains power and water supplies.
Unit charged with R407C ecological refrigerant.
STANDARD UNIT COMPOSITION
Frame comprising supporting elements in polyester-painted thick
hot-galvanised sheet steel. The self-supporting frame containing the
main components is designed to ensure maximum ease of access
during servicing and maintenance operations. The various components
have been arranged to reduce the overall dimensions of the unit to a
minimum.
Screw compressors
Semi-hermetic screw-compressors with 2 five and six- lobe rotors. The
five-lobe rotor is directly splined onto the 2-pole motor (2,950 rpm)
without the use of overgears. Compression occurs five times every
motor turn and therefore the gas discharges continuously without the
typical throbbing of reciprocating compressors. Leading-edge
numerical control machines were used to make the rotors and
machine the bearing seats. The slide valve can limit the cooling
capacity of each compressor by 50% and 75%. In addition to the
standard no-load starting feature, the motors are fitted with electric
starting devices which limit the power absorbed during the compressor
starting phase. A check valve on the refrigerant delivery line prevents
the rotor from reversing after stopping. Special maintenance-free
bearings allow very long work cycles. Lubrication is forced, without the
use of an oil pump. The high efficiency built-in oil separator ensures
the constant presence of oil in the compressor. The rotors are
dynamically balanced to ensure the vibrations typical of reciprocating
compressors do not occur. The absence of vibrations and the absence
of delicate intake and delivery valves, in addition to very fine
manufacturing tolerances, sophisticated quality controls during the
production process and a limited number of moving parts, guarantee
quiet and highly reliable operation. Each compressor is fitted with
manual-reset motor thermal protection, delivery gas temperature
control, an oil level float, an oil level sight-glass and an electric
resistance for heating the oil when the compressor is stopped.
Water-refrigerant heat exchanger
Direct expansion heat exchanger type with asymmetric refrigerant
paths to maintain the correct refrigerant velocity inside the tubes
during both liquid and gaseous phases. The steel shell is insulated
with a closed-cell anti-condensation lining. The copper pipes are
internally grooved so as to improve the heat exchange. The pipes are
mechanically expanded onto the tube plate ends. An antifreeze electric
heater prevents the formation of ice inside the casing of the exchanger
when the unit is not operating but connected to the electrical supply.
Differential pressure switch for controlling the water flow is fitted
standard.
Refrigerant-water heat exchanger
Finned coil exchanger with steel shell and finned coil made from
copper tubes with external fins, mechanically expanded onto the tube
plate ends. The heads can be removed to inspect the tubes. Water
connections are fitted standard for water from towers; connectors for
water from wells can be supplied on request.

Each refrigerant circuit comprises the following components:
- compressor discharge check valve,
- liquid line shut-off valve,
- liquid line solenoid valve,
- dryer filter with replaceable cartridge,
- refrigerant line sight glass with humidity indicator,
- externally equalised thermostatic valve,
- high pressure safety valve,
- low pressure safety valve (if required by regulations).
- high and low pressure switches,
- high and low pressure gauges.
