2. Applications
2.1
The unit must not be put into service until the machine to which it will be incorporated has been declared in conformity with
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, see "Declaration of Incorporation" page 71. The unit is defined as "Partly completed
machinery".
2.2
The product must only be used for the stated purpose: use other than that prescribed is to be considered improper and
exempts Modine from all liability.
2.3
Use in unspecified operating conditions must be considered incorrect or improper.
2.4
Make sure that the adopted fluids are compatible with the materials used to construct the model.
2.5
The minimum protection level of the model is IP42. Refer to the annexes "PED DATA SHEET" and "ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION SHEET" (when present).
2.6
All the models are supplied with heat exchangers manufactured to internal standards in accordance with DIN8964 for
internal cleaning.
2.7
Please refer to any attachments to this manual.
2.8
Product description (see identification code, Chapter 14.2):
2.8.1
LCE The LCE series remote condensers have the task of optimising the heat exchange between air and another fluid
H(C)FC in a refrigeration cycle. Inside a casing we find a heat exchanger consisting of a finned pack interconnected
to a tube coil. The flow of relatively cold ambient air, created by the axial fans on the top of the casing, passes
through the heat exchanger generating the condensation of the compressed hot gas flowing inside the tubes.
3. Identification
3.1
For any communication, request for assistance or spare parts, please provide the model name and serial number shown
on the data plate on the outer side of the model.
4. Inspection - Storage
4.1
Upon receipt of the model immediately check its state of integrity; immediately dispute with the transport company any
damage. The packaging is created according to the model, to the suitable means of transport and of handling.
4.2
The model must be stored in its original packaging in a place that is protected and away from weathering.
4.3
Do not place any other material on top of the packaging.
4.4
If a motor fan is switched OFF for a long period of time, it must be switched ON for at least 2 hours every month to remove
any traces of condensation that may have formed inside the motor.
4.5
The following rules apply when the unit must remain in storage for long periods of time. The unit must be stored indoors
and positioned according to its working position. This ensures functionality of the drainage holes of the fans. With the unit
stored in a damp environment, it is necessary to examine the outer covering to make sure that there are no damaged
points. If any are found, have them repainted. The fans must be protected with plastic reinforced sheeting or with some
other mechanical protection against water and/or contaminants which could damage the motors. The free surface of the
finned pack must be mechanically protected with a panel or with something similar. The connection couplings, if open,
should be closed by blank flanges or steel plate covers, which seal the connection headers by means of rubber gaskets.
During storage, the fans must be manually rotated at least once every 3 months.
5. Handling and installation
5.1
If the package contains more than one model, it must be moved by qualified personnel using a forklift truck of adequate
capacity, or by crane and/or overhead travelling crane (see Chapter 7). Avoid any sudden movement and do not stand
near the manoeuvring area. Always secure models to the lifting gear before handling. A large bump or strong push can
cause the model to overturn.
5.2
In case of handling with a forklift truck, the lifting brackets must be longer than the depth of the packaging and/or of the
model.
