Blue Box 1
KAPPA V SR water chiller
UNIT FRAME
Self supporting frame with removable panels, internally coated with expanded polyurethane sound-absorbing
material; constructed from galvanized sheet steel with RAL 5014 powder paint baked at 180°C to provide a
durable weatherproof finish. Threaded fasteners in stainless steel.
COMPRESSORS
Direct drive semihermetic screw compressors. Crankcase heater and lubrication through pressure difference
between suction and discharge pressure.
Optional continuous capacity control available, to maximize the efficiency of the unit in all working conditions.
Electronic motor protection via thermal sensors embedded in the windings. Star-Delta start and capacity step as
standard.
CONDENSER
Composed of a high efficiency coil manufactured from copper tubes and aluminium fins. Mesh guard to protect
the coil supplied as standard.
CONDENSER FANS
Axial fans, with sickle shaped blades and special bell mouth designed to reduce noise, directly coupled toa 6 pole
motor with internal Klixon overload protection. Motor protection category is IP 54. The fan is equipped with a
safety grille to UNI EN 294.
EVAPORATOR
Shell and tube direct expansion evaporator. The evaporator is thermally insulated with closed cell expanded
material. Each evaporator is equipped with a low water temperature probe for freeze protection.
REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT
Comprising: compressor discharge shut-off valve, liquid valve, charge connection, liquid line sight-glass, filter/
dryerwithinterchangeablesolidcartridge,thermostaticexpansionvalvewithexternalpressure equalisation, high
and low pressure values and relative condensation and evaporation temperatures are measured by pressure
transducers that relay signals that are displayed on the controller.
ELECTRICAL PANEL
The electrical panel includes:
- main switch
- fuses to protect auxiliary and power circuits
