At the same time, check the nitrogen filling and

recharge to the specified overpressure of 0.3 bar ...

0.5 bar, if required. Dry nitrogen with a residual

moisture of ≤300 ppm is used for this purpose.

1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Delivery

CO /NH

2 3-cascade units are delivered with an inert

gas charge (nitrogen) in the refrigerant circuit. The

heat exchanger connections are closed. Check on

arrival for possible transport damage and report

damage in writing.

Warning!

Cascades are to be adequately protected

from external influences during transport

and storage.

This usually concerns lengthy standing

times outdoors before installation and

putting into service of the refrigeration

plant.

Protect cascades from damage, dirt and moisture

during longer periods of storage prior to

setup/installation.

(check inert gas charge) Grasso recommends the use of plastic

sheeting to cover the whole product.

The compressors of the cascade unit are not charged

with oil, therefore the cascade must not be started

unless properly installed and commissioned. The venting slots of the electric motors

must always be covered!

Dispatch is effected in the type of packing stipulated

in the order. The cascade unit is generally supplied

without packing. 1.3 Transport instructions

Use the four carrier eyes on the base frame as

slinging points for crane transport.

1.2 Transport and storage

Cascades are high-quality products which must be

handled with due care. Protect the equipment from

impacts and put it down carefully.

To prevent damage on piping and components

attach crossbeams to the ropes.

Hint!

When transported by crane, the cascade must have

the same position as in operation. Do not use

attaching points other than those provided for this

purpose.

Pushing and pulling on components or

climbing on the cascade unit or pipes

easily causes damage and should be

avoided at all costs.

All the information needed to manipulate the

cascade is indicated in the "Transport Instructions".

After completion of erection on the foundation, and

prior to starting up the cascade remove the

transport safety devices installed in the works.

Warning!

It is prohibited to sling cascade units to

any fittings or piping or at the eye

screws/carrying ears on compressor,

electric motor or switch cabinet.

The cascade unit should only be stored in closed, dry

rooms if possible. Storage in the open air under a

roof is only permissible for short periods.

Take special care not to attach the ropes near to

small diameter tubing or to damage the same. Use

spacers if necessary.

1.4 Installation

Select the installation site with care so that any

possibly leaking substances do not penetrate the

ground or enter the surface or ground water (Water

Supply Law WHG).

Position the cascade on the transport vehicle such

that it is prevented from sliding and tilting. The

competent staff member or the company is

responsible for ensuring transport safety. The cascade units have to be installed in closed

machine rooms and on a level surface. Provide

enough space for maintenance work.

The storage area of cascades shall be roofed, plain

and paved and secured against access of

unauthorized persons. The cascade must be

protected against knocks and impacts.

Rigid installation

The frame of the cascade unit is placed on

foundation bolts on a prepared foundation.

Turn the shaft of the compressor at least every four

weeks (approx. 1/8 revolutions). The frame must be levelled with suitable shims such

that the coarse alignment (radial and angular
