•

•

WARNING:

Do not remove the protection cover of the refrigerating unit. This should be performed only by qualified personnel.

Do not open the electric control panel unless the power supply has been previously disconnected.

Do not carry out operations on the motor-compressor unless the power supply has been previously disconnected.

Do not open the junction boxes containing the electrical connections unless the power supply has been previously disconnected.

Do not touch the electric fan, unless the power supply has been previously disconnected and the blades have stopped turning.

•

•

•

DANGER:

In the event of repair or maintenance of the refrigerating circuit, absolutely avoid or take necessary actions to reduce to a minimum the dispersion into the environment, the inhalation and the contact with the refrigerating fluid and/or oil contained in the system. Recover as much as possible any dispersed or spilled material and dispose of it in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws.

In the event of leakage of eutectic solution from the evaporator (eutectic plate or beams) avoid dispersion in the environment, inhalation and contact with goods or persons. Recover as much as possible the eutectic solution and dispose of it in accordance with applicable laws.

Do not enter the body unless absolutely necessary for repairs or cleaning. Do not enter the body without confirming that the refrigerating system is off and leave at least one door open.

Ensure that personnel authorized to enter the body have suitable individual protection equipment, including but not limited to protective gloves, non-slip shoes, suitable clothing, etc.

CHAP. 1 general safety standards

1.1 REFRIGERATING SYSTEM SAFETY STANDARDS

WARNING: NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COULD CAUSE

SERIOUS DAMAGES TO THE MOTOR-COMPRESSOR

Do not change the calibration of the pressostat. This device is vital for the safety of the refrigerating system. It has been calibrated to shut down the motor-compressor when excessively high or excessively low pressure values are reached that could damage the components of the system. Modification of the pressostat calibration that controls the systems with dual-speed electric fans could cause malfunction of the fan.

If the motor-compressor makes an irregular knocking noise when the refrigerating unit is started – especially when the body is hot – immediately activate the selector switch that temporarily stops the motor-compressor (see starting instructions). Press the safety button or selector switch repeatedly at regular intervals until the motor-compressor runs normally.

In case of start-up of the refrigeration unit with very high ambient temperatures (especially in premises with little air circulation), it may cut in the high pressure switch causing several stops and starts of the refrigeration unit. In these cases, you must check the proper cleaning of the condenser, remove the refrigerating unit cover and possibly moving the vehicle in more ventilated or cool areas.

When defrosting or before a prolonged stoppage/inactivity of the body, the refrigerating unit must be stopped by means of the PUMP DOWN function (see stop instructions). This avoids possible damage to the motor-compressor for the next starting procedure (water hammer), because the refrigerating gas is restricted within the receiver.

1.2 DIRECTIVE CE 852/2004 “HYGIENE PACKAGE” OF HACCP SYSTEM (Hazard Analysis

and Critical Control Points)

“The bodies used for the transport of perishable foodstuffs must be kept clean and regularly mantained in order to protect food from contamination.”

GB

1.3 EC REGULATION NO. 842/2006 REGARDING THE REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS OF

GREENHOUSE GASES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE KYOTO PROTOCOL

The bodies are excluded from the scope of this Directive (Art.10). However Cold Car is aware of the needs and priorities of preserving the environment on the subject of the “global warming”. In effect the fluorinated gases (HFC), contained in the cooling system, although in small quantities, are partly responsible of this “global warming”.

Therefore we invite our users to have the same attention during the entire life cycle of the equipment, in particular: to prevent any refrigerating liquid leaks, by frequent controls (at least once a year), to limit any extent of gas leaks, making them promptly repaired, to recover all the liquid contained when the equipment ends its life. These operations must be carried out by qualified personnel for proper handling and use of the refrigerants as required by law.

N.B.: the end user must check the application of the Rules in force in the country where the body is put into service.

WARNING: OPERATIONS ARE TO BE

CARRIED OUT ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

•

2.0 HANDLING

With overhead crane: When using the overhead crane, make sure to use a large lifting frame in order to ensure that the straps do not apply pressure on the upper edges of the body. The straps have to go through the openings of the side doors

In some cases, our bodies are equipped with lifting bolts on the lower part of each side: in this case, use 8.8 M18x110mm bolts in the threaded housings leaving them protruding by at least 70-80 mm.

WARNING lift the load very slowly, making sure that the load remains parallel to the ground.

The points where the cables come into contact with the body must be protected with suitable materials to ensure the weight does not damage the body.

•

With Fork-Lift Truck: Ensure that the fork-lift truc k has sufficient lifting capacity and that the forks are sufficiently long. Approach the side of the body as near to the middle as possible, with the fork open approximately one meter. While lifting, the forks must rest on the side members of the body’s sub-frame. Take care not to damage parts of the body. Lift slowly from the ground making sure that the load is correctly balanced.

WARNING: If lifting bodies without a sub-frame, the tips of the forks must not come into contact with the floor of the body as this could cause damage.

2.1 TRANSPORTATION

Bodies that are not installed on vehicles are securely fixed to two or more metal stands when leaving the factory. These stands are positioned at the front, rear and the central part of the body floor. The base of each stand must be secured to the transport vehicle by riveting metal, wooden or aluminium wedges to the platform to prevent the load from moving horizontally.

One or more ratchet straps must be placed over each body to prevent lateral movement.

WARNING: Place protective material at the contact points of the straps. Do not over-tighten the straps as that may damage the body.

42

CHAP. 2

handling and transportation instructions

Applicable only to bodies not installed on vehicles

2.2 INSTALLATION

All bodies manufactured by Cold Car have been designed to be installed on a specific vehicle.

Both mechanical and electrical installation must be completed by a certified technician and in compliance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle. Cold Car supplies a kit with each body that includes materials and instructions for installation.

In case of disinstalling the body from first chassis cab to another it is advisable to contact our service department in order to work out the operation in the proper way. In case of nonconforming installation, Cold Car disclaims any liability for any damages.

INTRODUCTION: Our bodies are designed to maintain the temperature of the products (frozen or fresh) at the loading temperature level. The system is not suitable for refrigerating products that are warmer than the temperature required for correct preservation.

3.0 LOCATION

The refrigerated vehicle must be located in a well ventilated place to ensure good air circulation.

Heat sources must be kept away from the refrigerating unit.

Avoid starting the body in confined areas or close to reverberating surfaces – these conditions increase noise levels and reduce the performance of the machine.

44

CHAP. 3 use instructions

3.1 INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO STARTING

Check that the voltage of the power supply is the same as the rated voltage of the evaporator unit (a voltage tolerance of ± 10% is accepted).

Check that the user’s power supply system has been made in accordance with the law and equipped with a neutral wire (where required).

3CARS

3.2 STARTING (see page 42)

1) Insert the power supply socket into the plug on the body making sure that the start selector is in the “0” STOP position (figure 1-2).

2) According to the selector type, start the refrigerating system by turning the selector from position “0” to position “I” (figure 2).

If the motor-compressor makes an irregular knocking noise, turn the selector back to the “0”

STOP position, and repeat the operation at regular intervals until the knocking stops (Figure 2).

For refrigerating units with SCROLL type compressors and/or 3CARS Control System, the starting procedure does not require any particular precautions. The starting of the latter is electronically managed and occurs through impulses which increase in frequency so as to avoid the problem described in the previous point.

3) Once started, check that the refrigerating unit electrofan rotates in the correct direction. Air has to be drawn from the outside directly toward the condenser. If the fan is not rotating correctly, the main power supply cable must be disconnected and the contact inside the plug on the body must be turned with a flat screwdriver. This warning does not apply to refrigerating units equipped with SCROLL type compressors with monophase electrofan (figure 3) 3CARS

Control System.

3CARS

3.3 DUAL TEMPERATURE BODIES

A switch is located on the control panel to bypass the function of the positive compartment if not in use. During distribution the ventilation compartment must be switched on by means of the switch placed close to the vehicle commands. The compartment may be provided with a heater to try to keep the temperature above 0°C/32°F. The heating resistor operates only when the cable is connected to the mains.

The temperature in these applications is controlled by a digital thermostat that maintains it in the set values. In case of need, the user can vary the parameters of the temperature by the following procedure: Press and release the “SET” button until the display shows “SP1”, press again “SET”; at this point the display will show the temperature setting; press the UP and

DOWN (« ») keys to change the setting with the new desired temperature and press the “FNC” key to confirm the change.

CAUTION: changing the temperature values is to be carried out with caution as incorrect setting may damage the product stored inside the compartment.

CHAP. 3

3.4 OPERATING TIME

To solidify the eutectic solution inside the evaporators, the refrigerating system must be run until the thermostat shuts off. Do not place products into the body until this has occurred. This operation must be performed after each full defrost cycle.

On average, 8 to 10 hours are needed for the necessary charge for daily operation of the unit.

Before starting daily operations, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature is correct. If the temperature is not correct, the body cannot be used and the cause of the malfunction must be found. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to products due to the malfunction of mechanical parts, electrical parts, the absence of electricity, and/or the imprudent use of the body itself.

WARNING: NEVER ALTER THE ORIGINAL SETTING OF THE THERMOSTAT!

3.5 SYSTEM STOP

The system can be stopped in the following ways:

1) Manual stop

The selector is placed in the “0” STOP position for an immediate stop of the refrigerating unit

(emergency stop).

The selector is placed in the PUMP DOWN (if present). In this case the motor-compressor will continue to run for a short time to allow the refrigerating liquid to be stored in the receiver.

WARNING: When the motor-compressor is stopped in PUMP DOWN (if present), if the selector is not turned to the “0” STOP position, the refrigerating unit could start again.

2) Automatic stop

When the temperature inside the body reaches the thermostat selection, the system will stop temporarily and starts again as the temperature level increases.

WARNING: Before moving the vehicle, make sure that the power supply cable has been disconnected from the electrical supply socket and from the refrigerating unit.In case of remote refrigerating unit, a buzzer informs the driver of failure to disconnect the fast coupling system

3.6 AUTONOMY OF THE REFRIGERATING BODY

Note that the autonomy of the unit is strictly related to the way in which the body is used. For optimal daily use we recommend:

Limiting the time the doors are opened.

Introduction of products at operating temperature only.

Rotating the goods frequently so that the first loaded is always the first unloaded.

Defrosting frequently, avoiding excessive build-up of frost on the eutectic evaporators.

WARNING: When loading products, the refrigerating unit must be off.

46

CHAP. 4 defrosting

•

•

•

•

The defrosting of a body is essential to always have a good efficiency of the refrigerating plant.

A monthly periodical defrosting allows you to:

Preserve the compressor and its duration;

Reduction of the lubricating oil in the refrigerant;

Reduction of energy consumption;

A better preservation of the product to consumers

Defrost type:

1. Natural Defrost: when returning back from the deliveries unload all the remaining goods and connect the unit to the mains. Turn the switch to PUMP DOWN “I” (figure 2 pag. 10) till the automatic stop of the refrigerating unit. Turn the switch to “0” STOP position again (figure 2 pag. 10) after the compressor stops after the PUMP DOWN. Leave all side doors open until all the ice on the evaporators will be gone.

2. Reverse Cycle Defrost (Please note that this defrost system works only with AL2 eu-

tectic evaporators) when returning back from the deliveries unload all the remaining goods and connect the unit to the mains. Leave all side doors open then turn the switch to defrost, after 45/50 minutes of functioning the evaporators will be completely deiced and the refrigerating unit will automatically stop after the PUMP DOWN.

3. Defrost with Forced air (only for mid-temp bodies or bodies with a positive tempera-

ture compartment): when returning back from the deliveries unload all the remaining goods and connect the unit to the mains. Turn the switch to PUMP DOWN “I” the fans of the positive compartment will run to facilitate the defrost of the evaporators that are located behind the plate cover. To stop the fans bring the switch in STOP position “0”. Leave the side doors open until all the ice is completely defrosted.

Please note that bodies with rear doors are provided with magnetic sensors that prevent the fan to run when rear door is open.

7.1 INTRODUCTION

Before making any sort of components replacement or opening the refrigeration circuit for controls it is necessary to defrost the evaporators to avoid any moisture formation in the circuit and an accumulation of refrigerant gas in the evaporators. It is recommended not to make unnecessary refilling of refrigerant gas before determining the leak and have it repaired. To detect the faults of an incorrect operation of the refrigerating plant, always use the manometers and never speak hypothetically. We suggest to replace always the drying filter whenever action is taken to the replacement of one or more components of the refrigerating plant. (for example thermostatic valves, eutectic evaporators etc.), and always return (if any) the copper truncated gaskets.

WARNING

For the replacement of the refrigerating system’s internal parts, the body must be defrosted and at an ambient temperature so as to avoid the infiltration of humidity into the system.
