Any instruction or warning signs attached to the heat exchanger or the packaging must be followed. Avoid shocks or continuous vibrations during transport. These may cause damage to the product. If required, consult LU-VE Group and disassemble during transport any parts that are likely to be set into vibration. Air heat exchangers must be adequately fixed on the transport vehicle. If temporary storage of the heat exchanger is required, the following points should be observed: • Store the heat exchanger in its packing, in a dry place with sufficient protection against sun and other environmental influences. • Always place air heat exchangers on an even surface. • Do not stack air heat exchangers unless explicitly indicated this is allowed. • Storage temperature between -40° C and +50 °C. • Never open or remove the schrader valves. Overpressure in the coil must be maintained. Shelf life of air coolers is one year. If longer storage periods occur, check: • Proper functioning of the fan motor. • Mounting brackets, lifting lugs and fan fixings for corrosion. 2.4 Checks at delivery All finned coils are pressure tested with dry air, sealed and supplied with a slight overpressure. Prior to installation, the leak resistance must be checked with the schrader valve. 2.5 Damaged heat exchangers At the moment of delivery, carefully check the units. Any present damage must be reported on the delivery note with a description of the damage. Damaged heat exchangers, including when the damage is not externally visible, are to be reported to the shipping agent and LU-VE Group within 24 hours. 2.6 Return of unused heat exchangers Air heat exchangers that have been delivered in accordance with orders are in principle not returnable. Heat exchangers can only be returned under certain conditions and following consultation with LU-VE Group. This applies exclusively to unused units. The heat exchangers that are to be returned should be delivered carriage paid to LU-VE Group in the original, undamaged and unwritten factory packaging. Not returnable are: • Heat exchangers older than three months from the invoice date. • Heat exchangers that have already been built in and/or are damaged. 2.7 Guarantee For our guarantee conditions, we refer to the Terms of Delivery. In general, the warranty period between LU-VE Group and the customer is 24 months from the date of delivery to the carrier. Heat exchangers must not be returned or disposed of, other than in accordance with instructions from LU-VE Group. Contact your local LU-VE Group representative before any remedial action is taken on the units, otherwise warranty may be void. 2.8 Disposal After decommissioning the heat exchanger coil should be emptied from refrigerant fluids. Avoid any emissions in the environment. Any refrigerants and oil residuals must be properly disposed of according to applicable environmental regulations. The fully emptied heat exchanger unit, including all electrical components, should be handed in to the proper authorized companies for recycling.
