Product Maintenance - Ferroli EGEA 90LT Manuel D'utilisation, Installation Et Entretien

10.1

Product maintenance

Any maintenance operation on the product must be carried out
by qualified personnel having an appropriate Refrigeration En-
gineer License regarding the knowledge and management of
plants containing HC gases such as R290 (Propane). During
any routine or extraordinary maintenance or failure the manu-
facturer recommends that maintenance personnel use a suit-
able HC gas detector equipped with the necessary safety devic-
es to prevent ignition in the presence of a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Always ensure adequate ventilation of the installa-
tion compartment before carrying out any work on the product,
as the refrigerant gas used is odorless.
Maintenance personnel must therefore implement all the pro-
cedures and precautions necessary to prevent any dangerous
situation in the presence of a flammable gas.
The product does not have a charging or recharging valve, as
this operation cannot and must not be performed for any reason
on site. In case of a leak in the refrigeration circuit or if it is par-
tially or entirely empty, the maintenance technician must have
the entire system replaced.
During maintenance operations, the operator in charge must
check the following points.
Installation conditions
Check that:
• The dimensions of the installation compartment are those
specified in this manual.
• Sufficient ventilation of the room is ensured.
• The markings and graphic signs on the product are present
and legible.
• There are no signs of damage or corrosion on the product
that could impair its operation or cause refrigerant gas to es-
cape.
In case of differences in the product installation conditions,
maintenance personnel are required to inform the owner and
proceed with elimination of the non-conformities found.

Checks and repairs of electrical components
Check that:
• There are no conditions of imminent danger for the operator;
• The circuit is not powered.
• If it is not possible to operate without power supply, make
sure the owner has been notified regarding the situation.
• The electric capacitors have been safely discharged without
producing sparks.
• There is continuity in the ground connection.
• The electrical components are replaced only with original
spare parts.
• No cuts or joints are made on the cables of the electrical
components.
• The cables and wires do not have any damage which could
compromise the integrity of the product and the safety of peo-
ple and/or property.
Note: Only original replacement electrical components are guar-
anteed by the manufacturer as safe and tested by a third party
for use with flammable refrigerants
Leak detection
• Do not use any kind of flame to detect refrigerant leakage.
• Use electric detectors only if sure of their efficiency and safe-
ty in an explosive environment; for this purpose the instru-
ment must be able to detect an R290 leak equivalent to a
maximum of 25% of the LFL (Lower Flammability Level).
• Alternatively, specific leak detector sprays can be used for
refrigerant gases; the product used must be non-corrosive
type.
In order to be used safely, the leak detection instruments must
have a calibration tool normally called a calibrated leak. Check-
ing the sensitivity of the detector with the aid of the calibration
tool must be carried out far from the place of installation in order
to ensurer correct calibration.
