2 FIELD OF APPLICATION
These machines are intended for cooling-heating water and glycol solutions up to a maximum of 35% the
weight, in civil, industrial and technological air-conditioning environments.
Their use is recommended within the functioning limits carried in this manual, or else the warranty
attached to the sales contract would cease.
3 GENERAL INFORMATION
- When installing or servicing the chiller, you must strictly follow the rules provided in this manual, comply
with the directions on the units and take all such precautions as are necessary.
- The fluids under pressure in the cooling circuit and the presence of electrical components may cause
hazardous situations during installation and maintenance work.
RG66004766_rev.05 8
LCE
Therefore only qualified personnel may perform any kind of work on the unit.
- THE UNIT MUST BE STARTED UP FOR THE FIRST TIME EXCLUSIVELY BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL AUTHORISED BY GALLETTI S.P.A. (SEE ANNEX).
- FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE RULES PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL OR ANY MODIFICATION MADE
TO THE UNIT WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORISATION WILL RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE INVALIDATION OF
THE WARRANTY.
Attention: Before performing any kind of work on the unit, make sure it has been
disconnected from the power supply.
RG66004766_rev.05 9
LCE
4 INSPECTION, CONVEYANCE, SITING

4.1 INSPECTION
Upon receiving the unit, check that it is perfectly intact: the chiller left the factory in perfect conditions;
immediately report any signs of damage to the carrier and note them on the Delivery Slip before signing
it. Check, in particular, that the fins of the finned block heat exchangers are not bent and have not
undergone impacts that may have impaired the system's tightness under pressure.
The manufacturer or its agent must be promptly notified of the entity of the damage.
The Customer must submit a written report describing every significant sign of damage.
- commissioning report,
- wiring diagram,
- warranty certificate and list of authorised service centres,
- check the integrity of the documents accompanying the unit and of this manual.
4.2 LIFTING AND CONVEYANCE
While the unit is being unloaded and positioned, utmost care must be taken to avoid abrupt or violent
movements. The unit must be handled carefully and gently: avoid using machine components as
anchorages when lifting or moving it.
The unit should be lifted using Ø1½” GAS steel
pipes at least 3mm thick, to be inserted in the round
holes provided on the base side members (see fig.
below) and identified by means of stickers. The
pipes, which should protrude by at least 250-
300mm on every side, must be slung with ropes of
equal length secured to the lifting hook (provide
stops at the ends of the pipes to prevent the ropes
from slipping off due to the weight).
Use ropes or belts long enough to extend beyond the height of the unit and place spacer bars and
boards on the top of the unit to avoid damaging the sides and top of the unit itself. The rectangular holes
are provided for the attachment of vibration damping supports (optional).
Attention: In all lifting operations make sure that the unit is securely anchored in
order to prevent accidental falls or overturning.
RG66004766_rev.05 10
LCE
4.3 UNPACKING
The packaging must be carefully removed to avoid the risk of damaging the unit. The packaging includes
various materials: wood, cardboard, nylon, etc.
It is recommended to keep them separately and deliver them to suitable waste disposal or recycling
facilities in order to minimise their environmental impact.
Attention: if the unit is supplied with a pump or pumps and/or tank, you will find the expansion tank
packaged in the fan compartment; it must be fixed to the pump intake pipe, where a “TEE” is fixed so as
to form a tight seal, or on the tank itself. Remove the cap and screw in the expansion tank (this should be
done by qualified personnel), check the pre-fill pressure (0.5 - 1.0 bars-r) before filling the water circuit
and starting up the chiller.
Attention: the size of the expansion tank will depend both on the volume of water contained in the
system and the water temperature range; always check the tank capacity in relation to the water content
of the system.
4.4 SITING
You should bear in mind the following aspects when choosing the best site for installing the unit and the
relative connections:
- size and origin of water pipes;
- location of power supply;
- accessibility for maintenance or repairs;
- solidity of the supporting surface;
- ventilation of the air-cooled condenser and necessary clearance;
- direction of prevalent winds: avoid positioning the unit in such a way that the prevalent winds favour the
backflow of air to the condenser coils; a speed of 8 m/s (28.8 km/h) already generates a sufficient
stagnation pressure to guarantee approx. 60% of the nominal air flow rate.[In situations where the
action of air currents is inevitable and there is a simultaneous presence of temperatures below – 5°C,
the control of condensation for low outdoor temperatures must be of the flooding type or with a device
for choking the condensing exchanger -contact the technical department for further details]
- possible reverberation of sound waves.
All models belonging to the LCE series are designed and built for outdoor installation: avoid covering
them with roof structures or positioning them near plants (even if they only partly cover the unit) which
may interfere with the regular ventilation of the unit condenser.
It is a good idea to create a base of adequate dimensions to support the unit. This precaution becomes
essential when the unit is to be sited on unstable ground (various types of soil, gardens, etc.).
We recommend placing a rigid rubber strip between the base frame and the supporting surface.
Whenever more effective insulation is required, it is recommended to use vibration-damping rubber or

spring supports (ref. par. 15).
In the case of installation on roofs or intermediate storeys, the unit and pipes must be insulated from
walls and ceilings by placing rigid rubber joints in between and using supports that are not rigidly
anchored to the walls.
If the unit is to be installed in proximity to private offices, bedrooms or areas where noise levels must be
kept down, it is advisable to conduct a thorough analysis of the sound field generated and verify its
compatibility with the local laws in force.

LCE
5 INSTALLATION
5.1 INSTALLATION CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
It is of fundamental importance to ensure an adequate volume of air both on the intake and outlet sides
of the finned condenser coils; it is highly important to prevent the air delivered from being re-aspirated as
this may impair the performance of the unit or even cause an interruption of normal operation. For this
reason it is necessary to guarantee the following clearances (see figure on this page):
- rear side/plumbing connections: min. 1.0 metre to guarantee access to plumbing connections and/or for
any necessary maintenance on the pumps, tank, expansion tank, flow switch and 3-way free-cooling
valve.
- electric control board side: min. 1.0 metre to guarantee access for inspection and/or maintenance of
cooling components.
- finned pack heat exchanger side: min. 1.5 metres to ensure proper air circulation and access to the
compressor compartment, also from the side.
- top side: there must be no obstacle to expulsion.

5.2 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
When you are getting ready to set up the water circuit for the evaporator you should follow the directions
below and in any case make sure you comply with national or local regulations (use the diagrams
included in this manual as your reference).
- Connect the pipes to the chiller using flexible couplings to prevent the transmission of vibrations and to
compensate for thermal expansions. These units are all configured for installation of the water inlet-
outlet pipes outside the unit (on the rear) and these pipes are supplied as a standard accessory at no
extra cost for the customer.
- Install the following components on the piping:
 pair of quick-connection couplings with pipe section to be welded (optional item that may be
selected from the price list). They facilitate the connecting operations to the plumbing system,
greatly speeding up installation.
 temperature and pressure indicators for routine maintenance and monitoring of the unit. Pressure
control on the water side allows to assess the correct functioning of the expansion tank and to detect
water leakage in advance.
 sumps on inlet and outlet piping for temperature detection, for a direct view of operating
temperatures. They can also be consulted on the microprocessor on board the unit.
 cut-off valves (gate valves) to isolate the unit from the hydraulic circuit.
 metal net filter compulsory (inlet piping) with mesh no large than 1 mm, to protect the heat
exchanger from slag or impurities inside the piping.
If the machine is combined with process cycles, it is recommended to install a readily serviceable uncoupling
exchanger to prevent possible operation blockages and/or breakage of the plate evaporator.
 air vent valve placed on the higher parts of the hydraulic circuit to bleed the air. [The internal pipes
of the unit are fitted with small air vent valves for bleeding the unit itself: this operation should be
conducted when the unit is disconnected from the power supply - make sure that the circuit is
completely full of water and (FS-FL versions) bleed out the air from the water coils to prevent pump
cavitation (see fig.) and check again to make sure there is no air before starting the pump for the
first time].
RG66004766_rev.05 13
LCE
 discharge cock and, where needed, drain tank in order to empty the system for maintenance or
seasonal stops. [A 1” drainage valve is provided on the optional water buffer tank: this operation
may only be carried out when the unit is disconnected from the power supply].
 On the FS-FL versions, it is compulsory to use glycol solutions (max. 35% weight) in order to
prevent damage to the finned coil caused by freezing which is very difficult to repair. Carefully
assess the minimum air T to which the unit may be exposed and then determine the % of
antifreeze to be added.
Failure to use anti-freezing solutions may cause serious damage of the free-cooling coils
and to the hydraulic/cooling circuit in general.
RG66004766_rev.05 14
LCE
5.3 WATER CONNECTION TO THE EVAPORATOR
It is extremely important that the water inlet corresponds with the connection marked
with the writing “Water Inlet”.
Otherwise the evaporator would be exposed to the risk of freezing since the antifreeze thermostat would
not be able to perform its function; moreover the reverse cycle would not be activated in the cooling
mode, resulting in additional risks of malfunctioning.
The size and positions of the hydraulic connections are carried on the dimensional tables at the end of
the manual.
The water circuit must be set up in such a way as to guarantee that the nominal flow rate
of the water supplied to the evaporator remains constant (+/- 15%) in all operating
conditions.
The compressors often work intermittently, since the chilling requirements of the user generally do not
coincide with the output of LCE unit. In systems containing little water, where the thermal inertia of the
water is lower, it is a good idea to check that the water content in the section delivering to users satisfies
the condition below:
Cc  
V 
  Sh    Ns
V = water content in user section [m3]
Sh = specific heat of the fluid [J/(kg/°C)]
 = fluid density kg/m3]
∆ = minimum time lapse between 2 compressor restarts [s]
∆T = allowed water T differential [°C]
Cc = Chilling power [W]
Ns = No. of partialization steps
Inertial Buffer
Ts °C
Inlet water T Outlet water T
RG66004766_rev.05 15
LCE
A standard feature of the LCE units is a device for controlling the flow rate (differential
pressure switch) in the water circuit in the immediate vicinity of the evaporator.
Any tampering with said device will immediately invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to install a metal mesh filter with mesh no large than 1mm on the inlet
water pipe.
It is strongly recommended to install a safety valve in the water circuit. In the event of
serious equipment faults (e.g. fire) it will enable water to be drained from the system,
thereby preventing possible bursts. Always connect the drain outlet to a pipe with a
diameter at least as large as that of the valve opening and direct it toward an area where
the discharge of water cannot harm people. This is a standard feature of units equipped
with the optional buffer tank (optional) or pump/s kit.
Attention: During hydraulic connection operations, never work with open flames near or
inside the unit.
5.4 PROCEDURE FOR FILLING THE TANK
The tank has not been designed to withstand a depression greater than -0.15 Bar. For
this reason, attention should be paid to ensure that the pressure on the pump intake side,
where the expansion tank is positioned, will always be greater than 0.5 bars while the
pump is running: this helps to reduce the risk of cavitation.
It is extremely important that the installer follows and verifies the following procedure point by point in
order to prevent the risk of the tank exploding or pump cavitation:
a) Discharge the expansion tank until it reaches the pressure of 0.5 bar.
b) Fill the system and pressurise it until approximately + 1 Bar at pump intake (pump stopped).
c) Bleed the system.
d) Check the pump intake pressure (approximately 1 Bar) and start-up the system.
e) Stop the pump after 15-30 minutes and repeat the procedure from step c) until you can no longer
hear any noises caused by the presence of air in the system.
RG66004766_rev.05 16
LCE
5.5 SAFETY DEVICES ON THE HIGH-PRESSURE SIDE
Cooling circuit safety devices are provided on each refrigerant circuit according to the volumetric capacity
of the compressors installed, as prescribed by Directive 97/23 (PED); in particular, with respect to
equipment design, this Directive requires manufacturers to abide by the technical standard nearest to the
type of object produced; in the case of chillers designed for air-conditioning or liquid cooling systems,
standard UNI EN 378-2 is taken into consideration.
According to this standard, for refrigerant mass flow rates of up to 25dm3 per circuit only one pressure
limiting device is required; beyond this limit 2 must be applied. Practically speaking, these are safety
pressure switches designed to protect the cooling circuit in a cascade fashion.
What is meant by cascade protection is illustrated in the figure:
Pressure switch 1 Cut out
Cut out
Pressure switch 2
Cut in
Cut in
…where pressure switch 1 is set at the “PS” (maximum admissible pressure) of the system, while
pressure switch 2 will have the setting = PS x 0.9 in accordance with the reference technical standard.
6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Before carrying out any work on electrical parts, make sure the power supply is
disconnected.
Check that the mains electricity supply is compatible with the specifications (voltage, number of phases,
frequency) shown on the unit rating plate.
The power connection is made by means of a three-core cable plus neutral and earth cable or single-
core cables (one per phase) + earth according to the minimum section sizes specified in the wiring
diagram, which is an integral part of the documentation accompanying the chiller; the diagram code also
appears on the rating plate inside the compressor compartment.
The size of the cable and line protections must conform to the specifications provided in
the wiring diagram.
The supply voltage may not undergo fluctuations exceeding ±5% and the unbalance between phases
must always be below 2%.
RG66004766_rev.05 17
LCE
The above operating conditions must always be complied with: failure to ensure said
conditions will result in the immediate invalidation of the warranty.
The electrical connections must be made in accordance with the information shown in the wiring diagram
provided with the unit and current regulations.
Electrical connections and preliminary checks:

 Put on the main switch, turn the ½-turn locking screws of the electric enclosure and open it.
 Introduce the power cable 400/3/50+N through the hole provided on the left side of the unit (after first
removing and making a hole in the aluminium square based on the diameter of the electric cable) and
secure it with a cable gland.
 Connect the power supply and earthing wire to the terminals of the main switch.
 Open the fuse carriers F1 and F2 (or Q1 and Q2 for the motor overload cutouts) of the compressors (F1-
F2-F3-F4 for the fuses or Q1-Q2-Q3-Q4 for the overload cutouts in the case of LCE 4 compressor models)
to prevent them from starting up in the wrong direction in the event of an incorrect phase sequence.
 Switch on the power supply by turning the main switch (QS) to ON.
 Verify whether the phase sequence R-S-T is correct by checking, on the phase sequence relay situated in
the middle of the electric control board, that the green power on LED and yellow LED indicating the correct
sequence both light up; if this does not occur, disconnect the chiller power supply from the external
distribution panel and swap over two phases; then repeat the operation. IN NO CASE SHOULD YOU
TAMPER WITH THE WIRING DOWNSTREAM FROM THE MAIN SWITCH since this may alter the correct
sequence of other devices, e.g. pump(s).
 Close the fuse carriers F1 and F2 of the compressors (F1-F2-F3-F4 in the case of LCE 4 compressor
models).
 Close the electrical control board and lock it by means of the ½ - turn locks.
An earth connection is required by law. The installer must connect the earthing wire using the earthing
terminal situated on the electric control board (yellow and green wire).
The power supply to the control circuit is shunted from the power line through an insulating transformer
situated on the electric control board.
The control circuit is protected by suitable fuses.
A standard feature of all units is a phase sequence relay that verifies the correct phase sequence; this is
necessary to ensure that the chiller is completely functional before enabling a compressor start-up.
6.2 FLOW SWITCH ON THE WATER SIDE
All the LCE units are fitted with a blade-type flow switch to protect the evaporator as a standard. This is
installed in series with the water and electrical circuits and wired.
6.3 ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS OF THE CIRCULATION PUMP
If selected when placing the order, the pump kits are supplied pre-wired with all LCE units. For dual
pump kits, whether set up according to an “AND” or “OR” logic, rotation is controlled on a time basis and
triggered in the event of a fault.
The pump must be started before the chiller and stopped after the latter (minimum
recommended delay: 60 seconds). If included as an option, this function is already
performed by the microprocessor on the unit.
RG66004766_rev.05 18
LCE
6.4 REMOTE CONTROLS
If you wish to include a remote control for switching the unit on and off, you must remove the jumper
between the contacts indicated in the wiring diagram and connect the remote ON/OFF control to the
terminals themselves [see annexed wiring diagram].
All remote controls work with a very low voltage (24 Vac) supplied by the insulating
transformer on the electrical control board.
6.5 REMOTE SUMMER-WINTER SWITCHING
If you wish to include a remote control for switching the unit between the summer and winter operating
modes, you must remove the jumper between the contacts indicated in the wiring diagram and connect
the remote switching control to the terminals themselves [see annexed wiring diagram]. The switching
modes vary according to whether the microprocessor control is of the basic or advanced type: detailed
instructions are provided below (see extract of corresponding wiring diagram) and in the microprocessor
user manual, an integral part of the documentation provided.

7 START-UP
7.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
- Check that all the valves in the cooling circuit are open (liquid line).
- Check that the electrical connections have been made properly and that all the terminals are
securely tightened. This check should also be included in a periodic six-month inspection.
- Check that the voltage at the RST terminals is 400 V ± 5% and make sure the yellow indicator light
of the phase sequence relay is on. The phase sequence relay is positioned in the middle right part of
the electric control board; if the sequence is not duly observed, it will not enable the machine to start.
- Make sure there are no refrigerant leaks that may have been caused by accidental impacts during
transport and/or installation.
- Check the power supply of the crankcase heating elements, where present.
The heating elements must be turned on at least 12-10 minutes before the unit is
started. This function is carried out automatically when the main switch is off. Their
function is to raise the T of the oil in the sump and limit the quantity of refrigerant
dissolved in it.
To verify whether the heating elements are working properly, check the lower part of the compressors:
it should be warm or in any case at a temperature of 10 -15°C higher than the ambient temperature.

RG66004766_rev.05 21
LCE
The diagram above illustrates a specific property [Charles’ Law] of gases, which are more soluble in
liquids as the pressure increases but less soluble as the temperature increases: if the oil is held at a
constant pressure, an increase in temperature will significantly reduce the amount of refrigerant
dissolved in it, thus ensuring that the lubricating function desired is maintained. At the same time it
should be observed that a slight foaming [1-5 mm] of the oil at start-up (pressure drop => decrease in
% of solubility] is normal and will not compromise the system's reliability.
- Check that the plumbing connections have been properly made according to the indications given on
the plates located on the unit itself (proper inlet and outlet connections).
- Make sure that the water circuit is duly bled to completely eliminate the presence of air: fill the circuit
gradually and open the air vent valves on the top part, which the installer should have set in place.
7.2 STARTING OPERATIONS
Before starting the chiller, turn the main switch off, select the desired operating mode from the control
panel [red button = heating, green button = cooling] and press the "ON" button on the control panel.
The unit will start up if enabled:
- by the safety devices of the water circulation pump/s.
- by the flow switch (or differential pressure switch).
- by the T sensor measuring the temperature of the water returning from the system [chiller inlet].
- and no alarms have been triggered.
Start-up:
 Check that all external cocks of the water circuit are open and water flows properly (the flow alarm should
not be triggered).
 Put the main switch in the ON position.
o The pump will start immediately.
o After 60 seconds the compressor will start
 Check the water temperature differential (12-7°C to be detected by means of a thermometer on the inlet
and outlet water pipes of the unit).
 Check that there are no leaks on the refrigerant side and water side.
 Using all the screws and panels supplied, close the unit.
If the unit fails to start up, check whether the set point has been set on the desired values.
You should not disconnect the unit from the power supply during periods when it is
inoperative but only when it is to be taken out of service for a prolonged period (e.g. at
the end of the season). To turn off the unit temporarily follow the directions provided in
the section 7.6 "Stopping the Unit".
RG66004766_rev.05 22
LCE
7.3 CHECKS DURING OPERATION
- Check the phase sequence relay on the control board to verify whether the phases occur in the correct
sequence: if they do not, disconnect the unit from power supply and reverse two phases at the unit
input. any undue modifications will render the warranty null and void.
All the three-phase devices on the unit, compressor, water pump and fans (some
versions) have a set direction of rotation and were harmonized in the factory.
- Check that the temperature of the water entering the evaporator (returning from the system) is close to
the setpoint value entered. How long it will take to reach full operating capacity depends on the starting
conditions, system size and load conditions.
7.4 CHECKING THE REFRIGERANT LEVEL
- After a few hours of operation, check whether the liquid level indicator has a green crown: a yellow
colour indicates the presence of humidity in the circuit. In such a case the circuit must be dehumidified
by qualified personnel.
- Large quantities of bubbles should not appear through the liquid level indicator. A constant passage of
numerous bubbles may indicate that the refrigerant level is low and needs to be topped up.
- A few minutes after the compressors have started up, check that the end-of-condensation
temperature shown on the pressure gauge (refer to the pressure gauge scale for the refrigerant
R410A, marked with the initials D.P. - Dew Point) is about 16-22 °C (depending on the type of unit
and charging conditions) higher than the temperature of the air entering the condenser with the fans
running at top speed.
- Also check that the end-of-evaporation temperature shown on the pressure gauge (refer to the
pressure gauge scale for the refrigerant R410A, marked with the initials D.P. - Dew Point) is about
3.5 - 5.0 °C lower than the temperature of the water leaving the evaporator.
- Make sure the overheating of the refrigerant fluid is limited to between 5 and 8°C. To do this, you
should:
1) read the temperature indicated by a contact thermometer placed on the compressor intake pipe;
2) read the temperature indicated on the scale of a pressure gauge likewise connected to the intake
side; refer to the pressure gauge scale for the refrigerant R410A, marked with the initials D.P. (Dew
Point).
The degree of overheating is given by the difference between the temperatures thus determined.
- Make sure the subcooling of the refrigerant fluid is limited to between 4 and 6°C. To do this, you should:
1) read the temperature indicated by a contact thermometer placed on the condenser outlet pipe;
2) read the temperature indicated on the scale of a pressure gauge connected to the liquid inlet at the
condenser outlet; refer to the pressure gauge scale for the refrigerant R410A, marked with the
initials B.P. (Bubble Point).
The degree of subcooling is given by the difference between the temperatures thus determined.
Attention: all LCE units are loaded with the HFC R410A refrigerant: any top-ups must be
made by specialised personnel using the same type of refrigerant, exclusively in the
liquid phase.
RG66004766_rev.05 23
LCE
Attention: the refrigerant R410A requires “POE” polyolester oil of a type approved by the
compressor manufacturer.
For no reason should a mineral oil be introduced into the oil circuit.

- The difference between the Dew Point and Bubble Point is known as “GLIDE” and this is a
characteristic property of refrigerant mixtures. If pure fluids are used, the phase change
occurs at a constant T and thus the glide is equal to zero. If HFC R410A [ 50%-50% blend of R32
and R125] is used, the glide will be negligible (0.2°C) and the fluid can be considered like a
pure fluid.
7.5 EXPANSION VALVE
An electronically controlled expansion valve is installed as a

standard feature on all LCE units. If correctly parameterised and
controlled by the software, this device has the ability to render the
operation of the cooling circuit highly efficient and this will have the
ultimate effect of decreasing the power intake of the system
when a sudden change occurs in the thermal load, with a traditional
expansion valve there is a transient time of 2 to 3 minutes before a
condition of equilibrium is reached.
Example:
 A compressor switches off
 The evaporation temperature increases
 Overheating decreases
 The valve closes
 The refrigerant flow rate decreases
 The cooling capacity decreases
 The evaporation temperature decreases
...and so on…
RG66004766_rev.05 24
LCE
Proactive action of an Electronic Expansion Valve:
In the event of a compressor on/off request:

 The electronic driver pre-positions the valve at a point very near the final equilibrium point.
 A status of equilibrium is quickly reached with small adjustments.
 The electronic expansion valve becomes an active, rather than passive, component within
the system.
 The transient time is greatly reduced.
 Overall the system is more efficient, with higher EERs and therefore greater savings.
7.6 STOPPING THE UNIT
The unit can be stopped by pressing the "OFF" button on the front panel, by turning off the main switch,
or via the specific commands on the LCD user interface.
Attention: you should avoid stopping the unit using the main switch: The latter device
should be used to disconnect the unit from the electricity supply when there is no
passage of current, i.e. when the unit is already turned OFF.
Moreover, if you completely disconnect the unit from the electricity supply, the crankcase
heating elements will receive no power, thereby jeopardising the integrity of the
compressor the next time the unit is started.

To operate with outdoor air temperatures below 0°C the temperature of the water produced will
be reduced to 45°C. It is essential to use the (optional) device to monitor evaporation to detect
the outlet water temp. from the condenser with an ambient temperature of the air greater than
20°C. For temp. of produced water between 25°C and 30°C is it compulsory to use an electrical
expansion valve. The unit will automatically block itself below -10°C, thanks to the external
low-temperature probe in order to protect the chilling compressors from non application fields
they were not designed for.

The heating elements of the oil sump of the compressor are supplied as a standard for the Free-Cooling
units. The "Oil" figure illustrates a specific property [Charles’ Law] of gases, which are more soluble in
liquids as the pressure increases but less soluble as the temperature increases: if the oil is held at a
constant pressure in the sump, an increase in temperature will significantly reduce the amount of
refrigerant dissolved in it, thus ensuring that the lubricating function desired is maintained. The problem
about poor lubrication, lacking adequate crankcase heating, occurs mostly after breaks where due to the
effect of the suction effect of the compressor the pressure in the slump suddenly falls and most of the
refrigerant previously dissolved in the oil evaporates. With no heating elements, this would lead to two
problems:
 Oil dilution and therefore inadequate lubrication.

 Migration of the oil towards the cooling circuit due to the refrigerant dragging effect.

Use of electrical resistances is extremely important especially at the first start-up. It is recommended to
leave them inserted for at least 12 hours before starting the compressors.
If the outside air T drops considerably, the water T inside the system is controlled by the modulating
action of fans and in extreme circumstances (strong prevailing winds) by the closure of the 3-way valve.
RG66004766_rev.05 26
LCE
The hydraulic circuit - Free-Cooling versions
In addition to what has be mentioned above, the Free-Cooling versions foresee a 3-way valve capable of
deviating the flow towards the Free-Cooling coils placed upstream the condensing coils, in the air flow
direction. Valve activation is controlled by the microprocessor (ADVANCED as per standard) assessing
the difference between the system return water (T1) set point T and the outside air (T2). [fig. 5]
The probe placed at the evaporator (T3) inlet then triggers the activation of the compressors, integrating
them if the Free-Cooling performance is not sufficient to cover the entire thermal requirements. T1 and T3
temperatures are always controlled by the microprocessor on board the unit to assess any faults to the
free-cooling 3-way valve: for instance, in free-cooling mode with a switch valve and T1 and T3 are the
same, it means that the valve is blocked. In the event of faults occurring in the free-cooling mode, it is
possible to decide whether to only generate an alarm or to force the unit to shut down.

LCE
Free-cooling execution provides excellent energy savings in all those situations in which the outside
temperature is lower than the fluid in circulation (process industry, close control applications, information
technology in general, convention halls, etc.). The performance of the free-cooling circuit depends on the
difference between the outside air T and that of the water circulating, as shown in the figure (fig. 6).

temperature
when the T2 of the outside air falls below the T2 of the T1 of the water returning from the system, this will
generate a thermal exchange and the free-cooling action begins with integration of one or more
mechanical cooling steps. At this stage it is essential to have the maximum air flow rate in order to
maximise the performance of the free-cooling coils and, at the same time, effectively control the
condensation pressure. Condensing coils are fitted with a special partialization circuit that reduces the
surface of thermal exchange and therefore allowing the unit to operated with the full air flow rate (fig.7).
fig. 7
Section 1
Section 2
Indeed both sections of the coils are usually operative in the mechanical-only cooling mode, but when the
Free-Cooling mode - therefore with T2 of the outside air below (T1-Delta T)°C - in the event of a
simultaneous mechanical cooling request (integration), section 1 is excluded and ventilation runs at full
speed whilst maintaining excellent control of the condensation pressure.
With total free-cooling, the chilling yield is modulated by adjusting the speed of the fans to keep the outlet
T of the water constant.
To prevent any blockages of the 3-way valve, this is automatically switched up to 30% once every 140 h
of operation whilst the chiller keeps running.
RG66004766_rev.05 28
LCE
8.1 WATER FLOW TO EVAPORATOR
The nominal flow rate is based on a temperature differential of 5° C between inlet and outlet water, in
relation to the cooling capacity provided at the nominal water (12/7 °C) and air (35°C) temperatures.
The maximum allowed flow rate is associated with a temperature differential of 3 °C: higher flow rates,
though admissible, cause pointless, high drops in pressure.
The minimum allowed flow rate is associated with a temperature differential of 8 °C or a minimum
pressure drop of 10 kPa: lower flow rates cause a reduction in heat exchange coefficients and
excessively low evaporation temperatures, which may trigger the safety devices and cause the unit to
stop.
8.2 CHILLED WATER TEMPERATURE
The minimum temperature of the water leaving the evaporator is 5°C: lower temperatures are possible,
but for such applications the Manufacturer should be consulted at the time the order is placed.
The maximum temperature of the water entering the evaporator is 20°C. To allow higher temperatures
specific equipment solutions must be adapted (split circuits, three-way valves, bypasses, buffer tanks):
applications outside the specified limits may be authorised by the manufacturer subject to verification and
subsequent authorisation in writing.
8.3 EXTERNAL AIR TEMPERATURE
The units are designed and built to work with outdoor air temperatures ranging from -10 (with
condensation control) to 45 °C: applications outside the specified limits may be authorised by Galletti
S.p.A. subject to verification and subsequent authorisation in writing. On request, the units may be
equipped with an electric heating element to heat up the evaporator in cases where the unit is exposed to
severe temperatures during wintertime shutdown periods.
The heating element is activated whenever the temperature of the water leaving the evaporator falls
below the temperature set on the antifreeze probe.
8.4 OPERATION WITH WATER AT LOW TEMPERATURES
The standard units are not designed to work with chilled water temperatures below 5°C at
the evaporator outlet. In order to work below this limit, the unit requires specific technical
adjustments: in such cases contact the Manufacturer.
9 SETTING OPERATING PARAMETERS
All of the control equipment is calibrated and commissioned in the factory before the unit is shipped.
However, after the unit has worked for a reasonable amount of time, a control of the operation and safety
devices may be carried out. The settings are shown in Tables I and II.
All servicing of the control equipment must be carried out EXCLUSIVELY BY

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL: incorrect calibration values can seriously damage the
unit and persons as well.
RG66004766_rev.05 29

Many of the functioning parameters and calibrations of the control systems are set by the microprocessor
control and are protected by passwords.

9.2 MAXIMUM PRESSURE SWITCH
The high pressure switch is of the manually reset type and classifiable as category 4 in accordance with
the EEC 97/23 directive. It directly stops the compressor when the discharge pressure exceeds the set
value (see section 5.4).
To verify its efficiency, while the compressors are running, close off the passage of air into the
condensers and check, by referring to the compressor outlet pressure gauge (previously installed),
whether the pressure switch is activated (i.e. the compressors stop) when the set value is reached.
Attention: during this operation, if the safety device fails to activate, the second cascade-
connected pressure switch will step in to shut down the unit. However, in any event you
should be ready to shut off the unit as directed in the section "Stopping the Unit" – see
also section 5.4.
The high pressure switch must be manually reset; this is possible only when the pressure falls below the
value indicated by set differential (see Table II).
9.3 MINIMUM PRESSURE SWITCH
The low pressure switch stops the compressor when the intake pressure falls below the set value for
more than 60 seconds.
The switch is automatically reset when the pressure rises above the value indicated by the set differential
(see Table II); however, the unit will not resume operation until the alarm memory on the microprocessor
control is cleared.
9.4 SERVICE THERMOSTAT
The function of this device is to start and stop the compressors according to the demand for chilled
water, as determined by a sensor placed at the evaporator inlet [water returning from the system].
This device is a function included in the microprocessor control and operates with proportional extension
band that can be set.
9.5 ANTIFREEZE THERMOSTAT
The antifreeze sensor situated at the evaporator outlet detects the presence of excessively low
temperatures and stops the unit. Together with the flow switch and low pressure switch, this device
protects the evaporator from the risk of freezing as a result of faults in the water circuit.
This device is a function included in the microprocessor control.
9.6 ANTI-RECYCLE TIMER
The function of the timer is to prevent excessively frequent compressor starts and stops.
This device is a function included in the microprocessor control.
It sets a minimum time of 300 seconds between two consecutive starts.
Never modify the factory default delay value: wrong settings could cause serious
damage to the unit.
9.7 OIL DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH
LCE units are equipped with orbiting scroll compressors; these compressors do not have a lubricant
pump and therefore no oil differential pressure switch is provided.
RG66004766_rev.05 32
LCE
10 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS
10.1 WARNINGS
For safety reasons concerning installation, the right measures and precautions
should be taken to prevent the ambient temperature from rising above 50°C
whether the machine is switched on or off.
All the operations described in this chapter MUST ALWAYS BE PERFORMED BY

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Before carrying out any work on the unit or accessing internal parts, make sure
you have disconnected it from the mains electricity supply.
The upper part and outlet pipe of the compressor may reach temperatures as high
as 110°C. Be especially careful when working in the surrounding area while the
unit is running.
Be especially careful when working in proximity to finned coils since the 0.11 mm-
thick aluminium fins can cause superficial injuries due to cuts.
After completing maintenance work, always place the panels enclosing the units
back and secure them with the fastening screws provided.
For the safety of the person conducting maintenance work on the LCE units it is
compulsory to turn the main switch off before performing said maintenance work.
Access to the fan compartment has been fitted with a second safety panel (see
fig.) with the sign “warning! moving parts” in order to prevent injuries caused by
the fans while they are running with the unit in operation.
Rear of the LCE unit
It is a good idea to carry out periodic checks to ensure that the unit is working properly:
 Check the efficiency of all the control and safety devices as previously described.
RG66004766_rev.05 33
LCE
 Check the terminals on the electric control board and compressor terminal boards to ensure that they
are securely tightened. The movable and fixed contacts of the circuit breakers must be periodically
cleaned and replaced whenever they show signs of deterioration.
 Check the refrigerant level by means of the liquid level indicator (every 6 months).
 Check the oil levels through the windows provided on the compressor crankcases (every 6 months).
 Check the water circuit for leaks (every 6 months).
 If the unit needs to be taken out of service for long periods of time, remove the water from the pipes
and the heat exchanger, from the pump/s (optional), the buffer tank (optional) and from the water coil
in the case of FREE-COOLING units (if no glycol solutions are used). This operation is essential if
during the time the unit is out of service ambient temperatures below the freezing point of the liquid
used are expected (typical seasonal operation).
 Check the filling of the water circuit, bleeding air from the circuit through the valves situated in the
highest points.
 Check the efficiency of the flow switch or differential pressure switch
 Check the heating elements, where present, of the compressor crankcases.
 Clean the metal mesh filters mounted externally on the water pipes.
 Check the humidity indicator on the liquid level indicator (green = dry, yellow = humid); if the indicator
is not green as shown on the indicator sticker, replace the filter (every 6 months).
 Check that the noise emissions of the unit are regular (every 6 months) and more specifically that no
vibrations and/or knocking can be detected.
10.3 REPAIRING THE COOLING CIRCUIT
Attention: while performing repairs on the cooling circuit or maintenance work on

the compressors, make sure the circuit is left open for as little time as possible.
Even if briefly exposed to air, ester oils tend to absorb large amounts of humidity,
which results in the formation of weak acids.
If the cooling circuit has undergone any repairs, the following operations must be carried out:
- tightness test;
- emptying and drying of the cooling circuit;
- loading with refrigerant.
If the system has to be drained, always recover the refrigerant present in the circuit using
suitable equipment; the refrigerant should be handled exclusively in the liquid phase.
10.4 TIGHTNESS TEST
Fill the circuit with anhydrous nitrogen supplied from a tank with a pressure reducer until the pressure
rises to 10 bars.
During the pressurisation phase, do not exceed the pressure setting of the safety valves;
otherwise you will cause the latter to open.
The presence of any leaks must be determined using special leak detectors. Should any leaks be
detected during the test, empty out the circuit before repairing the leaks with suitable alloys.
RG66004766_rev.05 34
LCE
Do not use oxygen in the place of nitrogen as a test agent, since this could cause a risk
of explosion as well as the certainty of extensive oxidisation in high-temperature areas.
10.5 HARD VACUUM AND DRYING OF THE COOLING CIRCUIT
To achieve a hard vacuum in the cooling circuit it is necessary to use a pump capable of generating a
high degree of vacuum, i.e. 15 Pa of absolute pressure.
If there is no suitable vacuum pump available, or whenever the circuit has remained open for long periods
of time, you are strongly recommended to adopt the triple evacuation method. This method is also
recommended when there is a presence of humidity within the circuit.
The vacuum pump should be connected to the inlets.
The procedure to be carried out is as follows:
- Evacuate the circuit until you reach an absolute pressure of at least 35 Pa. At this point inject nitrogen
into the circuit until you reach a relative pressure of about 1 bar.
- Repeat the step described above.
- Carry out the step described above for the third time, but in this case attempting to reach the hardest
vacuum possible.
Using this procedure you can easily remove up to 99% of pollutants.
10.6 CHARGING WITH R410A REFRIGERANT
- Connect the tank of refrigerant gas to the male 1/4 SAE inlet situated on the liquid line after discharging
a little gas to eliminate air in the connection pipe.
- Carry out the charging operation with the refrigerant in liquid form until you reach 75% of the total
charge.
- Then connect to the inlet on the intake line and complete the charging process with the refrigerantin
liquid form until no more bubbles can be seen on the liquid level indicator and the operating
parameters specified in the section "Checking the refrigerant level" have been reached.
Since R410A is a binary blend of R32 and R125, it is advisable to charge with refrigerant
in the liquid phase to ensure the correct percentage of the 2 components.
Charge through the charging inlet provided between the expansion valve and evaporator
inlet.
A unit that was originally charged with R410A in the factory cannot be charged with other
refrigerants.
RG66004766_rev.05 35
LCE
10.7 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The law implementing the regulations [reg. EEC 2037/00] which govern the use of stratospheric ozone-
depleting substances and greenhouse gases bans the dispersal of refrigerant gases in the environment
and requires whoever is in their possession to recover them and, at the end of their useful life, either to
return them to the dealer or take them to a suitable waste disposal facility.
The refrigerant HFC R410A is not harmful to the ozone layer but is included among the substances
responsible for the greenhouse effect and thus falls within the scope of the aforesaid regulations.
Therefore, special care should be taken when carrying out maintenance work to
minimise refrigerant leaks.
11 DECOMMISSIONING THE UNIT

When the unit has reached the end of its working life and needs to removed and replaced, a series of
operations should be carried out:
- the refrigerant gas it contains should be recovered by specialised personnel and sent to a waste
collection facility;
- the lubricating oil in the compressors should also be recovered and sent to a waste collection facility;
- if they cannot be reused, the framework and components should be scrapped and separated according
to the type of material: this applies especially for the considerable quantities of copper and aluminium
present in the unit.
This will make the job of waste collection, disposal and recycling facilities easier and minimise the
environmental impact of such processes.

15 SUMMARY TABLE OF WEIGHTS
This drawing illustrates the points of the machine for which the weights for the basic chiller and heat
pump models have been calculated. The values are shown in the following tables.
Important note: the weights of hydronic modules (C-H; with 2 pumps + tank, with 1 pump +
reservoir, with 2 pumps, with 1 pump) must be added to the standard weights of the basic model
(C-H; STD cooling-only, STD heat pump, Free-Cooling STD).
NOTE: all weights indicated above include the refrigerant charge and water contained in the hydraulic
system (very important for determining the most suitable support for the unit, especially if equipped with a
tank).
To obtain the approximate weight of the unit when empty, subtract the weight in kg of the water contained
in the tank – see table below. In other cases the water content is negligible for these purposes.

15.3 PUMPING AND STORAGE SYSTEMS
LCE units may be equipped with 6 types of pumping systems, complete with expansion tank and buffer
tanks:
- single pump (low LP head );
- single high-head pump (HP uprated);
- standard pump and back-up pump (OR – low head);
- standard pump and back-up pump (OR – low head);
- low-head pump for combined operation (AND);
- high-head pump for combined operation (AND);
In the case of pump systems including a back-up pump, the microprocessor controls the pumps in such a
way as to equally divide the hours of operation, changing over the pumps in the event of a fault.

In the case of the dual pump - combined operation option, the advanced type of microprocessor is
mandatory, since it controls the switching on of the second pump according to the number of partialization
steps required at every moment; this means that the unit will operate in a cost-effective manner for most
of its life given that, based on well-known analyses, chillers operate under a regimen of partialization for
97% of their lifetime.
