2 COMPONENTS INSTALLATION

2.1 - CABIN CONDITIONER: HOW IT WORKS

When in cool mode ( ummer) the refrigerant circuit takes the
heat from the ambient air and gives it to the sea water. When
in heat mode (winter) the heat is taken from the sea water MAX
3 mt
which cools down and it is given to the ambient air which
warms up. With sea water below 10° C, the efficiency of the
unit in heat mode drops so much that we do advise against its
use. Units with electrical heating instead of reverse cycle are also available.
Cool and heat position, thermostat knob for temperature setting and fan
selector are available on the control panel which shall be installed in the air-
conditioned ambient at a max distance of 3 m from the evaporator.

2.2 - LOCATION

A.- The unit is engineered to draw directly the ambi- B.- The treated air (blown by the fan) should be con-
ent air, then the unit should be installed in one of the nected to one or more delivery grills by means of flex-

case of Split models). must be properly insulated.

MIN

C.- Treating the ambient air means the separation of

condensate produced by air humidity. His conden-
sate must be drained and discharged over board; this
means that the unit should be installed at a certain
level to be connected to an outlet port, considering
that the condensate hose must have a minimum
heeling.

page 4 www.climma.it
 CONDITIONING PLANTS
SPLIT and COMPACT models

2 COMPONENTS INSTALLATION

E.- The unit is linked to the electrical connections box

with a 1 m long cable. So around the unit (compres-
sor assy for Split models) there should be enough
space for the box installation in a way to easy electri-
cal connections and maintenance.
F.- The thermostat bulb and the air filter shall be
installed on the refrigerant-ambient air heat exchang-
er (evaporator). It is necessary to leave enough
space at the side of the unit for periodical mainte-
nance.
G.- The maximum distance between unit and control
panel is 3 m both for the thermostat capillary and for
the connecting cable.

2.3 - INSTALLATION

The air-conditioner shall be installed using the stain-

less steel brackets supplied with it. It is better to use
a silent block mounting, if you install the compressor
in a cabin. It is also important not to force on the
cable linking the unit to the connection box.

2.4 - CONDENSATE DRAIN 2.5 - SEA WATER CIRCUIT

The condensate discharge hose The refrigerant -

drain nipples of the pans. exchanger has
two 16 mm hose
fittings to be con-
nected to the
water circuit by
means of an
adequate rubber
or plastic hose. The flow sense is marked with arrows; anyhow the water
enters from the bottom coil of the heat exchanger and goes out from the top
outlet. Hose routing should avoid siphoning which will prevent the pump to
prime. The over board outlet port should be as low as possible but above the
water line: this to limit the water discharge noise and to avoid horizontal jets.

2.6 - BULB THERMOSTAT - C318

The thermostat bulb should be fastened to the refrigerant-ambient air heat
exchanger by means of two plastic fasteners. The bulb shall not touch the heat
exchanger fins as the direct contact will influence the thermostat set. The ther-
mostat feels only the return air. In particular situations it is possible to install the
bulb not directly on the exchanger, but in the room to feel its temperature using
the plastic plate supplied with the control panel.

2.7 - AIR FILTER - C319

The unit draws air through the refrigerant-ambient air heat exchanger which has arrow aluminium fins. These
fins so close would get soon clogged because of dust and dirty if not installed directly on the exchanger as
shown in the drawing below. The air filter needs periodical maintenance and must be accessible for service.

Some rules are given at chapter 2.6. We can resume the following:
The circuit should always rise from water intake to the unit heat exchanger. After that the circuit can rise again or drop to
the discharge port. It is absolutely important to prevent that the circuit rises and drops making siphons which will prevent
air to be drained, causing an air lock. The discharge side of the circuit should be made so that the water discharge does-
n't cause excessive noise both for this yacht and for its neighbours.

The CABIN air-conditioner is particularly suggested for a multiple installation. A multiple installation has these
specific features:
- One only sea water pump supplies water to all units.
- Each unit must have its own setting of compressor starting delay ( see 4.6 ).

4.5.1 - PUMP CONNECTION IN A MULTIPLE SYSTEM - C 307

In order to run the same pump from several units, it is available as option a pump relay box. Each air-condi-
tioner is connected to the pump relay box. The mains supply to the pump relay box must be independent from
the air-conditioners and protected by an independent fuse. The pump supply will come in parallel from each
relay controlled by each air-conditioner.

4 ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

4.9 - FAN SPEED - C305

The fan can run on three speeds. It is possible to modify the max speed installing an optional capacitor as
indicated in schematic, removing the existing bridge.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The run capacitor (CM) is specific for

each fan motor and must not be modified as a different value will let
the fan motor burn.

5 SMOOTH RUNNING CHECK

5.1.- SEA WATER PUMP CHECK

1.- Set the thermostat knob on "24" all clockwise.
2.- Push the "Cool" button.
3.- Check that pump is running smoothly and that the water flow meets the unit specifications. The fan runs
at the chosen speed.

5.2.- COOLING MODE CHECK

With the unit, as at 5.1:
1.- Turn slowly the thermostat (TEMP) knob counter clockwise towards "18" until the compressor starts.
2.- Check that after few minutes the air out starts cooling. If the unit is left running for a while the thermostat
setting and the condensate drain can also be checked. In fact, if the air is sufficiently humid, the unit will soon
start to produce condensate water, which must be discharged over board.

5.3.A- HEATING MODE CHECK (REVERSE VALVE CYCLE)

With the unit OFF, turn the temperature knob clockwise towards "24", put the fan switch on "MAX" and push
the "HEAT" button. Check that after few minutes the air out begins to warm up. If the unit is left running for a
while, the thermostat setting can also be checked.

5.3.B- HEATING MODE CHECK (ELECTRICAL HEATING)

With the unit OFF, turn the temperature knob clockwise towards "24", put the fan switch on "MAX" and push
the "HEAT" button. Check that after few minutes the air out begins to warm up. If the unit is left running for a
while, the thermostat setting can also be checked.
NOTE: With electrical heating the compressor and the pump do not run. The air out will be warmer if the fan
runs on minimum speed.

5.4.- SEA WATER CIRCUIT CHECK

During any running cycle, both cooling and heating, one should check the tightness of all the water fittings
and pipings with special care to the parts of the circuit below thw water line. The water flow check (request-
ed at 5.1) can be done at the outlet over board or in line with a water meter.

5.5.- SEA WATER PUMP AMP CHECK

Because of water circuit being different from one to another installation, one must check that the pump is run-
ning within its range. During the pump running, check the amp draw with an amp meter. The amp draw should
never exceed the figure printed on the pump. If it exceeds, stop the unit and check the water circuit (see 3.7)

5.6.- CHECKING AND BALACING THE SYSTEM

It is extremely important to check and eventually to balance the air distribution system. This is necessary to
get the maximum efficiency from the air-conditioner. This test is only an air flow test: you don't need to run the
compressor but only the fan and it will be possible to check the system in the same yard, out of water, only
connecting it to mains supply. The measure should be taken at the return grill in order to obtain the total air
flow of the system using an adequate anemometer.

5 SMOOTH RUNNING CHECK

Proceed as follows:

1.- Calculate the free area of the return grill in sq. m.. The free area is the actual size of the grill without the
external frame.

2.- Check velocity of air in different points of the grill.

3.- Calculate the average air speed through the grill in mt/min or in mt/sec according to the instrument.

4.- Use the following formula to obtain the total air quantity which is circulated by the unit:

Q = SxVx3600

Q = SxVx60

Where:
Q = Total air flow ( cm/h )
S = Grill surface ( free ) ( sq.m. )
V = Air speed mt/min or mt/sec
3600 = to be used with mt/sec speed
60 = to be used with mt/min speed
Q Q
From these data it can be obtained: S = -------------- S = ----------
Vx3600 Vx60

Q Q
V = -------------- V = ----------
Sx3600 Sx60

The total air flow in cm./h should meet the value given in technical data. It is acceptable that the total air
flow is reduced of 15-20% but not more.
Also delivery grills air flow must be checked in order to balance the system when two or more delivery grills
are installed or to make a comparaison with the intake grill. When you need to air-condition two or more
cabins, it is necessary to calculate the air quantity to introduce. This value can be calculated only knowing
the warmth charge in each cabin.
To determine the air quantity needed by each cabin, use the following procedure:
1- Divide the total air flow by the total surface conditioned ( rate treated air/ treated volume )
2- Multiply the number obtained for the volume of each cabin ( treated air quantity to introduce )

6 USE

6.1.- CONTROL PANEL

COOL: "COOL" mode switch

HEAT: "HEAT" mode switch
FAN: Fan speed change over switch
TEMP: Room thermostat knob

6.2.- COOLING MODE (SUMMER)

Run the unit pushing the "COOL" button. Turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise towards "18" until the com-
pressor starts. Set the "FAN" switch on the desired speed "MIN-MAX". The minimum speed is obtained by
pushing the two knobs Max and Min together.
When the cabin reaches the desired temperature, turn clockwise the thermostat knob towards "24" until the
compressor stops. As the compressor goes off, the fan will circulate the air without cooling it until the com-
pressor will start again.

6.3.A.- HEATING MODE (WITH REVERSE CYCLE HEATING - MOD. RC)

Run the unit pushing the "HEAT" button. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise towards "24" until the com-
pressor starts. Let the unit run until the room reaches the desired temperature, then turn the thermostat
knob counter clockwise towards "18" until the compressor goes off. As said at 6.2, the fan will circulate the
air without heating it. In heating mode, the fan speed should be always set on MAX or MIN speed, as the
low speed can cause a cut out of the compressor due to high pressure.

6.3.B.- HEATING MODE (WITH ELECTRICAL HEATING - MOD. EH)

Run the unit pushing the "HEAT" button. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise towards "24". Let the unit run
until the room reaches the desired temperature, then turn the thermostat knob counter clockwise towards
"18" until the heating element goes off. As said at 6.2, the fan will circulate the air without heating it. If there
is a failure of the fan or the air circulation is clogged or obstructed, an internal safety klaxon cuts the ele-
ment off to prevent overheating. In order to reset the normal functioning, it is necessary to stop the system,
eliminating the reason of the lack of air circulation, wait approximately 5 minutes and then restart the sys-
tem pushing the "HEAT" button on the control panel. In "Heat" mode the compressor and the pump will not
run with electrical heating.

6 USE

6.4.- CONDENSATE
During the cooling cycle, conditioners produce condensate in considerable quantity, above all in humid days.
If you do maintenance or repair work on board, make sure that condensate goes overboard. Since conden-
sate is fresh water, it shouldn't drip on electrical or wood structures. If drained into a bilge it could easily cause
a very impleasant odour. So it is better to keep it in a limited and evacuated area. Therefore you should use
a little container with a few liters capacity linked to an automatic pump. You must considere that the conden-
sate outlet is exposed to a negative pressure, when the conditioner is running. This means that it can suck up
air from the outlet, then it shouldn't be close to exhaust or to any source of poison gases.

6.5.- ELECTROLYSYS
Electrolysys can cause dangerous sea water leaks deteriorating through-hull and other fittings. When you find
out an electrolysys, you must search the cause and repair the failure before starting the conditioner.

6.6.- EXPLOSIONS
The operation of an air-conditioner means the production of sparks (circuit breakages, relays, etc…) which are
capable of ignition fumes and7or vapours. To remove such fumes and vapours, ventilating blowers should be
operated at least 5 minutes before starting the unit and kept running until the air-conditioner is running.

IMPORTANT: Never sleep in an enclosed space on a yacht, when combustion plants

(motors, electrical generators, etc…) are running. The combustion gases discharge system
could break down and poison gases could come in, where you are sleeping. The conditioner
fan always runs, after having switched on the main circuit breaker.

7 MAINTENANCE

7.1.- AIR FILTER

The filter on return air should be cleaned or replaced periodically. This filter is absolutely necessary as it pre-
vents the clogging of the air heat exchanger of the air conditioner. There is not a fixed rule to determine the
periodicity of filter maintenance; this depends from number of running hours but also from level of air pollu-
tion where the unit works. A clogged air filter reduces the unit capacity when in "Cool" mode. In "Heat" mode
a clogged air filter in a "RC" air-conditioner produces a unit shutdown because of high pressure (HP); in a
"EH" electrical heating air-conditioner a clogged air filter produces a heating shutdown because of an internal
safety klixon. In order to reset the normal functioning, it is necessary to stop the system putting it off from the
control panel, eliminate the reason of the lack of air circulation, wait approximately 5 minutes and then restart
the system pushing the "Heat" button on the control panel.

7.2.- SEA WATER STRAINER

The sea water strainer installed on sea water pump intake requires to be checked and cleaned periodically.
This strainer is absolutely necessary as it prevents the sea water pump and circuit to be clogged by dirty par-
ticles. There is not a fixed rule to determine the periodicity of strainer maintenance; this depends from the
number of running hours and more from level of water pollution where the unit works. In "Cool" mode a
reduced or nihil water flow reduces the efficiency and eventually causes a unit shutdown (HP - high pressure
switch). In "Heat" mode a clogged water strainer reduces the unit capacity.

7.3.- ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

All electrical parts must be kept clean and dry. We suggest to check periodically for electrical leaks, which, if
detected, must be immediately eliminated.

7.4.- WINTERIZING
When freezing temperature are expected you have to drain the cooling water which may be in the condens-
er, in the pump, in the strainer and in the connecting pipes. Therefore you should close the seacock valve;
remove the condensing unit inlet water hose (the hose from the pump to the water condense). Allow time to
drain all the water from the condenser; clean the strainer and drain completely the water in it and in the pump.

7.5.- CONDENSATE DRAIN

Check periodically that the condensate discharges into water are not clogged by dirtiness or other.
