Ethylene glycol curve
ATTENTION:
The pump leakproof
components are not suitable
for use with propylene
glycol.
CAUTION:
Weight concentration of ethylene glycol in water %
Using water with glycol may
make it necessary to change the
configuration of the control
system.
Make the plate heat exchanger hydraulic connections with the
necessary components, using material which will guarantee that
the screwed joints are leakproof.
The typical hydraulic circuit diagram shows a typical water circuit
installation in an air conditioning system.
It is therefore necessary to protect the heat exchanger inlet with
an extractable mesh filter.
The filter mesh gauge must be at least 10 mesh/cm2.
The standard supply of the unit with hydronic module includes a
mesh filter to be fitted during installation.
3. After assembling the system, or repairing the circuit, the whole
system must be thoroughly cleaned with special attention paid
to the state of the filters.
4. Pump flow rate control is made through a flow control valve
supplied with the unit with hydronic module, which must be
installed on the delivery pipe during installation.
5. In case of water refrigeration at temperatures lower than 5°C, or
if the unit is installed in areas where temperatures drop below
0°C, water must be mixed with a proper quantity of ethylene
glycol (see the curve above).
For an application with a water circuit, the following
recommendations must be taken into account:
1. The pump must be fitted immediately before of the heat
exchanger and after the connection to the system return (unit
without hydronic module).
2. It is advisable to install shut-off valves to allow isolation of the
most important circuit components, as well as the heat
exchanger itself.
These valves (ball, globe or butterfly valves) should produce a
minimum loss of charge when they are open.
3. Provide unit and system drains and vents at the lowest system
point.
Use the curve to determine the correct ethylene glycol
concentration for the temperature.
4. Install purges in the higher sections of the installation.
5. Pressure ports and pressure gauges should be installed
upstream and downstream of the water pump (unit without
hydronic module).
6. Thermometers should be installed in the unit water inlet and
outlet.
Frost protection
The plate heat exchanger and the water connections of the
hydronic module pump may be damaged in spite of the anti-freeze
protection system these units are fitted with.
Frost protection of the plate heat exchanger and of the circuit
inside the hydronic module is always guaranteed down to -10°C
by the electric heaters that are automatically activated if needed.
The power supply to the electric heaters of the plate heat
exchanger and to the internal circuit of the hydronic module must
never be interrupted.
7. All piping must be adequately insulated and supported.
Installation of the following components is obligatory:
1. A flow switch should be installed in a straight horizontal stretch
with a length of at least five times the line diameter on either
side.
The flow switch must be positioned in the exchanger inlet pipe.
It must be electrically connected in accordance with the wiring
diagram (only unit without hydronic module).
If this is not possible, the installation should incorporate a
protection device which is activated when there is no water
circulating in the heat exchanger.
IMPORTANT:
Both the appliance main switch (Q1) and the auxiliary
protection switch for the electric heaters (QF101) must
always be in the closed position (the positions of Q1 and
QF101 are indicated in the wiring diagram).
2. The presence of particles in the water can lead to obstructions
in the heat exchanger.

Checking the charge
WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, make sure
disconnects are open before electrical connections are made.
If this action is not taken, personal injury may occur.
WARNING:
When adjusting the refrigerant charge always ensure that
water is circulating in the heat exchanger to prevent any
possibility of freezing up. Damage caused by freezing is not
covered by the product warranty.
Power supply cable size and external connection must be made by
the installer according to the unit installation characteristics and the
applicable standards. The power supply and earthing multicore
cable of the unit must be connected to the main disconnecting
switch by passing it through the grommet on the front pedestal
after removing the lateral access panel. The maximum section
allowable for flexible copper cable is 25 mm2.
30RA-RH units are shipped with a full operating charge of
refrigerant. Refer to Table I.
If it is nevertheless necessary to add more refrigerant, run the unit
for some time in cooling mode and then slowly add liquid refrigerant
into the suction side until there are no bubbles in the sight glass.
Before connection, check that phase sequence L1 – L2 – L3 is
correct.
WARNING:
Take special care when making the earth connection.
To ensure proper operation of 30RA-RH units there must be at
least 5 K of subcooling as the liquid refrigerant enters the
expansion valve.
The maximum permitted voltage and current imbalance is 10% of
the values indicated in Table II.
Contact your local power company for correction of an incorrect line
voltage.
30RA-RH units use a HFC-407C refrigerant charge. 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.
Before selecting the power supply line fuses - which must be of the
type "gG" - check the voltage and the size indicated on the unit
name plate is.
WARNING:
Operation of the unit on improper line voltage constitutes
abuse and is not covered by the Carrier warranty.
Refrigerant guidelines
IMPORTANT:
To ensure the correct unit power supply (cable entry,
conductor cross section, protection devices etc.), consult the
electrical data table, the wiring diagram supplied with the unit
and the applicable standards concerning the installation of air
conditioning equipment.
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.
Never operate a unit if the voltage imbalance exceeds 2%.
The following formula must be used to determine the percentage of
voltage imbalance.
• Leaks must be repaired immediately.
• Service valves fitted to the flow and return lines permit charge
transfer to a suitably arranged external container.
Voltage imbalance (%) =
• It is indispensable to use a dedicated transfer station.
• Compressor lubricating oil contains refrigerant. Any oil drained
from a system during maintenance must therefore be handled and
stored accordingly.
Largest deviation from average voltage x 100
———————————————————————————-
Average voltage
• Refrigerant under pressure must never be discharged to the
atmosphere.
Example:
Nominal supply: 400-3-50
Recharging liquid refrigerant
AB =
BC =
AC =
404 V
399 V
394 V
CAUTION:
Motor
30RA-RH units are charged with liquid HFC-407C refrigerant.
Average voltage = 404 + 399 + 394 = 399 ≈ 400 V
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 for the interpretation of the
values.
3
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage
AB =
BC =
AC =
404 - 400 = 4
400 - 399 = 1
400 - 394 = 6
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
fluid is not the same.
Largest deviation is 6 volts. Percentage voltage imbalance is
therefore:
6
x 100 = 1,5 %
400
NOTE:
CAUTION:
Regularly carry out leak checks and immediately repair any
leak found.
The installer must install protection devices, as required by
the applicable legislation.

Refrigerant charge and electronic control
Undercharge
Electronic control
If there is not enough refrigerant in the system, this is indicated by
gas bubbles in the moisture sight glass.
Operation and control of all units is carried out via the electronic
control.
There are two possibilities:
The instructions supplied with the control include comprehensive
descriptions.
• Small undercharge (bubbles in the sight glass, no significant
change in suction pressure).
- After detection and repair the unit can be recharged.
PRO-Dialog Plus electronic control
- The replenishment of the charge must always be done in the
cooling mode, slowly introducing liquid refrigerant at the suction
side, until there are no bubbles in the sight glass.
PRO-DIALOG Plus is an advanced numeric control system that
combines complex intelligence with great operating simplicity.
PRO-DIALOG Plus constantly monitors all machine parameters
and safety devices, and precisely manages the operation of
compressor and fans for optimum energy efficiency.
• Significant undercharge (large bubbles in the sight glass,
significant drop in suction pressure).
It also controls the operation of the water pump.
- Completely drain the refrigerant charge, using a refrigerant
recovery unit. After detection and repair check the charge with
the unit off, drain the system and recharge the full amount of
liquid refrigerant (see Table I) on the suction and discharge side.
A powerful control system
The PID control algorithm with permanent compensation for the
difference between entering and leaving water temperature and
anticipation of load variations regulates compressor operation for
intelligent leaving water temperature control.
- The refrigerant container used must contain a minimum of 10%
of its initial charge.
To optimise power absorption, the PRO-DIALOG PLUS
automatically re-calibrates the set point of the entering water
temperature based on the outside air temperature to one of the two
pre-set values (occupied building and of an unoccupied building for
example).
WARNING:
If brazing is to be done, the refrigerant circuit must be filled with
nitrogen.
Combustion of refrigerant produces toxic phosgene gas.
PRO-DIALOG Plus control is auto-adaptive for full compressor
protection. The system permanently optimises compressor run
times according to the application characteristics (water loop
inertia), preventing excessive cycling. In most comfort air
conditioning applications this feature makes a buffer tank
unnecessary.
IMPORTANT:
- Never use the compressor as a vacuum pump.
- Always add refrigerant via the suction line.
- Refrigerant must be added very slowly.
- The complete refrigerant charge must never be filled into the
suction line.
- Do not overcharge the system with refrigerant.
Clear and easy-to-use control system
The operator interface is clear and user-friendly: LEDs and two
numeric displays ensure immediate verification of all unit operating
data.
10 menus offer direct access to all machine controls, including a
history of possible faults, for rapid and complete chiller fault
diagnosis.
Extended communications capabilities
PRO-DIALOG Plus allows remote control and monitoring of the
unit through a wired connection: start/stop, cooling/heating mode
selection (only 30RH unit), power demand limit or dual set-point
and customer safety lock.
The system permits remote signalling of any general anomaly for
each refrigerant circuit.
Three independent time schedules permit definition of: chiller
start/stop, operation at the second set-point (e.g. unoccupied
mode), and operation at low fan speed (e.g. during the night).
This option also permits cascade operation of two units and
remote control via communication bus (RS 485 serial port).

30RA/30RH
General maintenance, maintenance and final recommendations
E N G L I S H
Cleaning should be done at regular intervals and should never be
left until the unit has become blocked.
General maintenance
The time intervals between cleaning depend on the quality of the
water used, but as a general rule it is advisable to clean it at least
once a year.
ATTENTION:
Before starting any servicing or maintenance operation on the unit,
make sure that the power supply has been disconnected.
A current discharge could cause personal injury.
- Refrigerant circuit:
Ensure that there is no leakage of refrigerant or oil from the
compressor.
Check that the high and low side operating pressures are normal.
Check the cleanliness of the refrigerant-water heat exchangers by
checking the pressure drop across them.
In order to obtain maximum performance from the unit special
attention should be paid to the following points.
- Electrical connections:
- Controls:
The supply voltage should be within the limits indicated in Table II.
Ensure that no faulty contacts exist in the terminal blocks,
contactor boards, etc.
Check the operation of all the electrical components, the high
pressurestat and of the high and low pressure transducers and
the water, air and defrost temperature detector.
Make sure that all the electrical connections are properly
tightened, and that all the electrical components (contactors,
relays, etc) are firmly secured to the corresponding rails.
Pay special attention to the condition of the connecting cables
between the control elements and the electrical box, and to that of
the unit power supply cable.
Maintenance
Servicing recommendations
- Maintenance of the unit must be carried out by skilled personnel
only.
They should not be twisted and there should be no slits or notches
in the insulation.
Check that the starting and running consumptions are within the
limits specified in Table II.
Nevertheless, the easiest operations, such as cleaning of the
battery and the unit external parts can be carried out by non-
skilled personnel.
- For any operation on the unit follow thoroughly the instructions
shown in the manual and on the unit labels as well as the Safety
Standards.
- Water connections:
Make sure there are no water leaks from the system.
Should the unit be shutdown for long periods, open the drain valve
installed on the hydronic module and partially drain the pump and
the water pipes as well as the drain valve on the plate-type
exchanger, which must be installed on the hydraulic circuit.
This operation is essential if temperatures are expected to drop
below freezing.
If the unit is not drained, the main switch should remain connected
so that the defrost thermostat can operate.
Carefully clean the system water filter.
Always wear the protective gloves and safety glasses. Pay
attention to burns when brazing.
- Use only Carrier Original Spare Parts when repair is required.
Always make sure the spare parts are installed correctly. Always
install the spare parts in the original position.
- Before replacing any of the elements in the cooling circuit, ensure
that the entire refrigerant charge is removed from both the high
and low pressure sides of the unit.
- The control elements of the cooling system are highly sensitive.
If they need to be replaced, care should be taken not to overheat
them with blowlamps whilst soldering.
A damp cloth should be wrapped around the component to be
soldered, and the flame directed away from the component body.
- Silver alloy soldering rods should always be used.
- If the total unit gas charge has to be replaced, the quantity should
be as given on the nameplate and the unit should be properly
evacuated beforehand.
- Plate heat exchanger cleaning:
In some applications, for example when very hard water is used,
there is an increased tendency for fouling.
In these cases the installation of a descaling filter is
recommended.
The heat exchanger can always be cleaned by circulating a
cleaning fluid.
- During unit operation all panels should be in place, including the
electrical box access panel.
A weak acid solution should be used (5% phosphoric acid or, if
frequently cleaned 5% oxalic acid), and the cleaning fluid should be
pumped through the exchanger.
- If it is necessary to cut the lines of the refrigerant circuit, tube
cutters should always be used and never tools which produce
burrs. All refrigerant circuit tubing should be of copper, specially
made for refrigeration purposes.
The tank installation can be permanent or, alternatively, the
connections can be prepared and, at any given time, a portable
cleaning device can be connected.
Final recommendations
To achieve optimum cleaning the acid solution should be circulated
at a minimum of 1.5 times the normal operational flow speed, and
preferably in reverse direction.
The installation should then be flushed with large amounts of water
to totally remove the acid before the system is started up.
The unit you have purchased has undergone strict quality control
procedures before leaving the factory.
All components, including the control systems and electrical
equipment, etc., are certified by our Quality Control Department,
and tested under the harshest possible operating conditions in our
laboratories. However, after leaving the factory, it is possible that
one or more of these elements may be damaged due to causes
beyond our control. In such an event, the user should not work
on any of the internal components, or subject the unit to
operating conditions which are not specified in this manual,
since serious damage may result and the guarantee would be
invalidated. Repair and maintenance work should always be left to
the installer.
