  • Page 7 RECOMMENDED UNIT COOLER PLACEMENT Air flow within the refrigerated space is critical to achieving optimum cooling and freezing results. If air flow is compromised for any reason the unit may not provide satisfactory cooling performance. There are many potential reasons for poor air flow - few of which are the result of inadequate system capacity or unit malfunction.
  • Page 8 UNIT MOUNTING DETAIL Units should be mounted flush to a level ceiling panel using 3/8” stainless steel bolts, hangar rods or lag screws. There is no need to block or pitch the unit to ensure proper condensate drainage if the unit is mounted level. NSF SANITATION Seal the gap between the top of the unit and the ceiling with NSF approved sealant to prevent accumulation of dirt and foreign material.

    REFRIGERANT PIPING Use only clean, sealed ACR grade copper tubing for refrigerant duty. Unit warranty cover- age may be voided if system is installed with any other type of tubing. All piping must be CAUTION! UNIT IS PRESSURIZED installed according to local and national codes as well as accepted commercial refrigeration WITH DRY AIR OR INERT GAS FOR SHIPPING industry standards and practices.
  • Page 11: Refrigerant Piping (Distributor / Txv / Solenoid Valve)

    REFRIGERANT PIPING — CONTINUED All F27HC model series unit coolers are equipped with a venturi-flo refrigerant distributor which en- sures maximum efficiency of the coil under most all operating conditions. There is no orifice or nozzle plate to select / install in the distributor inlet. For optimum coil performance the TXV should be mount- ed within the end compartment of the unit and as short a distance as possible from the distributor inlet.
  • Page 12: Leak Testing, Evacuation And Charging

    LEAK TESTING Once all field piping connections have been made and the braze joints visually inspected for any obvious voids or gaps introduce a trace amount of the system refrigerant through a service gauge manifold to achieve an equalized, static pressure of 25 to 30 PSIG. Make sure that all service and shut off valves are in the open position and slowly introduce a regulated, inert gas such as nitrogen to increase the static system pressure to approx.
  • Page 13: Refrigerant Blends / Temperature Glide

    REFRIGERANT BLENDS — TEMPERATURE GLIDE The majority of HFC refrigerants in use today are referred to as refrigerant “blends” (composed of two or more different refrigerants). As such, each component within this “blend” evaporates (or condenses) at different temperatures. The temperature range within which each of these different refrigerants completely changes state from a liquid to a gas (or vice versa) is referred to as “temperature glide”.
