ACID TEST

If the existing system is being replaced because of a com-
pressor electrical failure, assume acid is in system. If sys-
tem is being replaced for any other reason, use an acid test
kit to determine acid level. If even low levels of acid are de-
tected, install a 100 percent activated alumina suction line
filter drier in addition to the replacement liquid-line filter drier.
Operate this system in COOLING ONLY. Remove the suc-
tion line filter drier as soon as possible, with a maximum of
72 hours of operation.
Recommendation: Install a ball valve in the liquid line at the
filter drier location when installing a suction filter in the suc-
tion line.

INSTALLATION

1. Remove the existing evaporator coil or fan coil and
install the replacement coil.
2. Drain oil from low points and traps in suction line tub-
ing if they were not replaced.
3. Remove the existing outdoor unit. Install the new out-
door unit according to these installation instructions.
4. Install the factory-supplied liquid-line filter drier at the
indoor coil just upstream of the TXV.

with dry nitrogen and evacuate when replacing filter
driers. Continue to monitor the pressure drop across
