4. Functions
4.1 Operation The closed-circuit refrigerant cycle of the Fricostar F800 unit consists of a scroll compressor, a water-cooled condenser (accessory), an air-cooled condenser, an expansion valve with a capillary and an air cooler. It is filled with environmentally friendly R407C refrigerant (see Fig. 6.1).
Fig. 6.2
Legend:
Fig. 6.1
The refrigerant cycle depicted in Fig. 6.1 consists essentially of a scroll compressor (1), an air-cooled condenser (4) and an optional pool water condenser (3), an expansion valve (8) and an evaporator or air cooler (9). The system is filled with R407C refrigerant. The air in the swimming pool hall is extracted by a radial-flow fan and passes through the air cooler where it is cooled. Depending on the relative humidity of the air, the temperature drops below the dewpoint during cooling and water vapor carried by the air condenses on the air cooler fins and collects in the condensate tray. The condensate is drained from the tray through a drain line.

4.3 Dehumidification Mode Dehumidification is controlled by the hygrostat. If the humidity of the ambient air is above the setpoint humidity, the compressor and the high fan speed are started up automatically. When the relative humidity is 5 % below the setpoint, the compressor (for which minimum ON and OFF periods have been programmed) stops and the fan returns to the slow speed.
The dehumidified air is reheated and returned into the swimming pool hall (see Fig. 6.2. If a pool water condenser is installed, some 65 % of the heat recovered is transferred to the pool water and approx. 35 % to the air. 4.2 Ventilation Mode If no dehumidification is required (no signal from the hygrostat), the Fricostar F800 unit operates at low fan speed in the ventilation mode to prevent as far as possible the build-up of moisture in corners and window mist-over.

6. Assembly
6.1 Connections The water system connections are located underneath the left side panel and the electrical connections underneath the right side panel of the Fricostar F800 unit. To make the connections, the side panels must be pulled out to the front. No tools are required for removing the side panels. Hosing must be used for waterway connections to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise. 6.2 Condensate Drain The condensate drain line must be sloped towards the wastewater system and must be fitted with a siphon. Condensate should for hygienic reasons not be drained into the pool water. Appropriate tubing such as copper or plastic tubing fit to carry condensate must be used for condensate drainage. The condensate system is shown by Fig. 10.1.
6.4 Electrical Work All electrical work must be carried out in accordance with applicable rules, regulations, codes and standards. The Fricostar F800 unit operates on 230 V, 50 Hz AC mains power. The control system voltage is 24 V DC safety extra-low voltage (SELV). The unit must be protected by a separate slow-blowing 16 A fuse and a ground-fault circuit interrupter in accordance with the requirements of the local electric utility. The unit must be grounded by equipotential bonding. The wiring diagrams of the Fricostar F800 unit are given in Section 12.
Power supply must be interrupted for all work on the Fricostar F800 unit. 6.5 Control Unit Installation For the hygrostat integrated in the control unit to operate correctly, the control unit (see Fig. 10.3) must be installed at a location where it is not exposed to effects which influence measurement. The unit should therefore be mounted at a height of 1.5 to 1.8 m at a minimum distance of 1 m from doors, windows and any space-heating radiators. Direct exposure to solar radiation, cold walls or air discharge by the Fricostar F800 unit must also be avoided.

7. Pool Water Condenser
7.1 Pool Water Condenser
7.2 Separate Pool Water Condenser Circuit
The Fricostar F800 unit can be equipped with a CuNi10Fe pool water condenser. The pool water condenser recovers the heat of pool water evaporation (0.674 kW/kg) to heat the pool water in the dehumidification mode.
Where possible, the pool water condenser circuit should be a separate circuit (see Fig. 13.1) to allow the independent operation of the filter and the pool water condenser circuits.
Isolating valves, filters and non-return valves must be integrated as shown by Figs. 13.1 and 14.1.
The pool water condenser recirculation pump must be filled with water before commissioning. Pool water overheating is avoided by pump control by a thermostat (accessory).
For the operation of the pool water condenser circuit pump to be provided by the owner, 230 V 50 Hz AC power is supplied to the Fricostar F800 pump and thermostat outputs in the dehumidification mode when the compressor is in operation. The submerged thermostat is required to prevent pool water overheating. It should be installed as close as possible to the pool water outlet to measure the actual pool water temperature. A filter must be installed upstream from the pool water condenser circuit pump to protect the pump and the pool water condenser.

7. Pool Water Condenser
The switching differential of the pool water thermostat is 1 K. The thermostat should be adjusted to the setpoint pool temperature. To set the thermostat, the cover must be removed and the control must be adjusted to the desired pool water temperature (see Fig. 14.2).
7.3 Pool Water Condenser Circuit Parallel to Filter Circuit Fig. 14.1 shows a configuration where the swimming pool features only one water outlet and one water inlet and the pool water condenser circuit is parallel to the filter circuit. In this configuration, the filter circuit pump and the pool water condenser circuit pump must be interlocked and nonreturn valves must be installed. The owner must decide on the basis of the filter circuit operating times whether the filter circuit pump is locked while the condenser circuit pump is in operation or whether the condenser circuit pump is locked while the filter circuit pump is in operation.
The setpoint temperature of the pool water heater in the filter circuit should be approx. 1 to 1.5 K below the actual pool water setpoint temperature to keep the pool water at a minimum temperature. The settings described keep the pool water at the desired temperature by heat transfer from the pool water condenser to the pool water.

8. Commissioning and Operation
8.1 Commissioning Following connection to the water and power systems, the Fricostar F800 unit can be commissioned. For start-up, the unit is switched ON and the humidity control is set to the desired setpoint value (see Section 8.3). If the relative humidity in the swimming pool hall is above the setpoint, the compressor is started up after approx. 5 minutes (minimum compressor shut-down period) and the fan is switched to the high speed. When the setpoint is reached, the compressor is stopped (minimum compressor operating time of 5 minutes) and the fan continues to operate at the low speed. 8. Low-Cost Operation The operating expenses of the Fricostar F800 unit depend critically on the setpoint pool water temperature, air temperature and humidity.
8.4 Control Unit Functions The control unit (see Fig. 15.1) features a rotary button on the left side for setting relative humidity. An alarm (red) and a status display light as well as an ON (I) and OFF (0) switch are situated to the right of the button. Section 11 shows what action is required when the alarm lights up. 8.5 Room Temperature Control For room temperature control, the Fricostar F800 unit must be equipped with an extra hot water heat exchanger. The room temperature is set by adjusting the thermostatic valve to one of the positions between 2 and 7 (equivalent to room temperatures between 20 °C and 70 °C) as shown by Fig. 15.2. The thermostatic valve is located behind the left side panel which must be removed by pulling it out to the front. No tools are required for taking off the panel.
As the setpoint air temperature increases above the pool water temperature and the setpoint humidity increases, operating expenses decrease. The air temperature should for this reason be at least 2 to 4 K higher than the pool water temperature. Pool water evaporation rates may easily double if the setpoint pool water temperature is as high as or even higher than the setpoint air temperature. 8.3 Hygrostat Setting The relative humidity should be set at a level where no condensation will develop on cold surfaces. This level depends on the structure of the swimming pool hall. Normally, no condensation will occur at an air temperature of 28 °C and a relative humidity of 60 %. If the air temperature is higher, the humidity level must be reduced accordingly.

9. Maintenance
9.1 Panel Cleaning The panels of the Fricostar F800 units can be cleaned by a damp cloth using a mild detergent if necessary. No strong detergent should be used. 9.2 Air Filter Cleaning The air filter of the Fricostar F800 unit is located behind the air intake grille. To remove the filter, the grille is lifted (see Fig. 16.1), tilted to the front (see Fig. 16.2) and taken off by pulling it downwards and forward (see Fig. 16.3). In the case of a unit installed in a separate room, the adapter including the connected air hosing must be lifted and pulled out to the front. The filter itself must then be tilted down and taken out to the front (see Fig. 16.5). The filter can be cleaned by rinsing using normal water or replaced by a new filter (accessory).

Fig.:16.2
After cleaning, the Fricostar F800 unit must be reassembled in reverse order.
The Fricostar F800 unit must be switched OFF when the filter is removed for cleaning.

10. Fresh Air Connector The fresh air connector is delivered as a separate part. The procedure for installation is as follows: • In the case of a Fricostar F800 unit for installation in a separate room, the fresh air connector must be mounted on the front of the unit (see Fig. 17.1) because the rear wall of the unit is normally backed up against a wall of the room. In the case of a unit installed in the swimming pool hall, the fresh air connector must be attached to the rear wall of the unit. • For the installation of the fresh air connector, the insulation material covering the fresh air connector opening must be cut away using a sharp-edged knife. While cutting, the material should be pulled out to the front as it could otherwise drop into the unit and the fan cover would have to be removed to take out the insulation material. • Following the removal of the insulation material, the fresh air connector must be screwed into the unit.
The owner must integrate an air filter and a fresh air flow control device into the fresh air line.
