WARNING:

Alteration of factory settings other than the design set-point, without manufacturer's authorisation, may void the warranty.

In case of use other than the manufacturer configuration, Carrier Service must be asked for permission to change the Pro-Dialog Plus system configuration.

30RA - Operating limits

These units have been designed to operate within the following limits:

Evaporator	Minimum° C Maximum° C
Water entering temp. (at start-up)	7,8 *	30
Water leaving temp. (in operation)	5**	13
Water entering temp. (at shut-down)	-	55
Condenser
Air entering temperature	-10	46

*Contact Carrier if an entering water temperature lower than 7.8 ° C is necessary.

**In case of operation with a leaving temperature of less than 5 ° C, it is necessary to add ethylene glycol to the water in circulation.

Minimum and maximum water flow rates in the plate heat exchangers

30 RA RH

	Minimum flow	Maximum flow	Maximum flow
	rate, l/s	rate, l/s*	rate, l/s**
017	0,45	1,4	1,3
021	0,57	1,6	1,6
026	0,67	2,1	1,9
033	0,87	2,3	2,4

*Maximum water flow rate with an available static pressure of 50 kPa (units with hydronicmodule)

**Maximum water flow rate at a plate heat exchanger pressure drop of 100 kPa (units without hydronic module)

Water circuit water content

Whatever the size of the system, the minimum content of the water circuit is given by the following formula:

Volume = CAP(kW) x N = Litres

where CAP is the nominal system capacity (kW) at nominal operating conditions of the installation.

Application	N
Air conditioning	3.5
Industrial process cooling	See note

This volume is necessary for stable operation and accurate temperature control.

It is often necessary to add a buffer water tank to the circuit in order to achieve the required volume.

NOTE:

For industrial process cooling applications, where high stability of water temperature levels must be achieved, the values above must be increased.

We recommend consulting the factory for these particular applications.

Leaving water temperature ° C

Notes:

1. The temperature rise of the water through the plate heat exchanger = 5K.

2. Both the plate exchanger and the circuit inside the hydronic module are protected against frost down to a temperature of -10°C.

Operating range with anti-freeze solution and with special configuration of the Pro-Dialog control system.
