4. Подешавање и инсталација
Professional installation is required for this product.
- Искључивање струје: Ensure that all electrical power to the compressor unit is completely disconnected and locked out before beginning installation.
- Compressor Preparation: Clean the surface of the compressor shell where the heater will be installed. Remove any dirt, oil, or debris to ensure good thermal contact.
- Положај грејача: Position the heater band around the lower portion of the compressor shell, typically below the oil level. Ensure the heating element makes full contact with the compressor surface.
- Безбедни прилог: Користите интегрисани цлamp mechanism to securely fasten the heater band around the compressor. Tighten the clamp sufficiently to ensure firm contact, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the heater or compressor.
- Електрични прикључак: Connect the heater's electrical leads to a dedicated 240V power source, typically controlled by the system's control board or a separate thermostat. Follow all local electrical codes and wiring diagrams provided by the HVAC system manufacturer. Ensure connections are secure and insulated.
- Проверите инсталацију: Double-check all connections and ensure the heater is properly positioned and secured.
- Врати снагу: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the unit.
5. Операција
The MARS TUTCO CH-101 Compressor Heater operates automatically when power is supplied. Its purpose is to maintain the compressor's internal temperature above the ambient temperature during periods when the compressor is not running. This prevents refrigerant from condensing in the compressor crankcase and diluting the lubricating oil, which can lead to premature compressor wear and failure. The heater is designed for continuous operation during the compressor's off-cycle.
6. Одржавање
Regular inspection of the compressor heater is recommended as part of routine HVAC system maintenance.
- Визуелни преглед: Periodically check the heater band for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks, fraying, or discoloration.
- Провера ожичења: Inspect the electrical leads and connections for wear, corrosion, or loose terminals. Ensure insulation is intact.
- Безбедност: Verify that the heater band remains securely fastened to the compressor shell.
- Чишћење: Keep the heater and surrounding compressor area free from excessive dust and debris to ensure efficient heat transfer.
WARNING: Disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
КСНУМКС. Решавање проблема
If the compressor heater is suspected of malfunctioning, consider the following:
| Проблем | Могући узрок | Решење |
|---|---|---|
| Heater not warm | Нема напајања Неисправна веза ожичења Internal heater failure | Проверите напајање грејача. Проверите и осигурајте спојеве ожичења. Replace the heater if internal failure is confirmed (requires professional diagnosis). |
| Heater appears damaged | Физички утицај Прекомерно затезање током инсталације Замор материјала | Одмах искључите напајање. Replace the damaged heater. |
