I. Safety advices
Thank you for purchasing a Scotsman EVE machine, we would like to draw your attention
to important safety precautions to be used when operating the equipment.
The refrigeration cycle operates by compression of vapour, with high and low pressure
features and controlled refrigerant.
The plant has to be operated in accordance with the attached use and maintenance
instructions.
Components such as pressure switches and safety valves should be checked periodically
to ensure correct operation.
Maintenance on the equipment should only be carried out by qualified personnel, technical
support is always available.
During design and construction of our equipment we evaluate the potential dangers, solve
them where possible using normal safety practice and constructional standards but, some
residual risks remain for example:
• Contact with refrigerant can cause freezing (scalds)
• Refrigerant leaks can cause suffocation in closed environments
• High temperatures are present on high pressure circuits
• Safety valves can vent refrigerant at high pressure and high
temperature
• The plant has been designed for maximum ambient temperature of
+40°C
On the serial number plate of the machine are indicated the pressure and
temperature working limits (TS and PS).
If a check valve is installed before the safety valve on the liquid receiver,
ensure that is always in open position.
The above is not an exhaustive list; risk assessments and evaluation of potential hazards
should be carried out before any work is started.
