Condensers; Introduction; Description; System Requirements Label - Carrier Transport Air Conditioning Installation Procedures Manual

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This manual contains instructions for the proper
preparation of and installation of Carrier Transport Air
Conditioning split systems. This manual does not
replace proper training and/or certification required by
the EPA or other local agencies.
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in completing
a quality, trouble-free installation which will compliment
a quality product, and ensure optimum system
performance for the life of the vehicle.
While this manual does not cover all combinations,
variations, and details, it does set up standards from
which installation processes can be measured.
Common sense and care for quality will result in
superior installations and customer satisfaction.
A Split System normally includes an evaporator(s), a
condenser(s) a compressor(s) and interconnecting
refrigerant hoses, fittings, and electrical harnesses and
controls. Refer to Table 1-3 through Table 1-6 for
evaporator models and Table 1-7 for condenser
models. Table 1-2 shows popular system designations.
Additional support manuals are listed in Table 1-1.
When in doubt about a particular installation or if you
require additional information, do not hesitate to call the
Carrier Transport Air Conditioning Technical Service
Hot Line for assistance (1--800-450-2211).
1.2 WHAT IS AIR CONDITIONING
Air Conditioning is the cooling, dehumidification, and
filtration of the air located within the passenger
compartment of your vehicle.
1.3 SYSTEM NOMENCLATURE DESIGNATIONS
All Carrier Transport Air Conditioning split system
applications will have system numbers consisting of 2
letters followed by 3 or more numbers (ie. AC-512),
identifying them as a free blow or ducted system,
approximate BTU rating, type of evaporator assembly
and type of condenser assembly.
The letter "A" from the letters "AC" means this systems
evaporator(s) are free blow units.
The letter "D" from the letters "DC" means this systems
evaporator(s) are corner ducted.

1--1
The first number after the letters "AC" or "DC" is the
capacity of the system in BTU"s to the nearest 10
thousand. (Example - 26,000 BTU's would be rounded
off to 30,000 BTU's, or the number 3.)
When only three numbers are in the designation, the
second number is the evaporator and the third number
is the condenser. (Example - AC-512 = AC designates a
free-blow system, 5 means approximately 50,000 BTU,
1 is an EM-1 evaporator assembly, while the 2
designates a CM-2 condenser assembly).
When more than three digits are in the model number,
the second, third and potentially the forth numbers
designate the evaporator(s) assembly. The last two
numbers designate the condenser assemblies.
1.3.1 Model And Serial Number Tags
In order to identify the air conditioning system you are
installing, you will need to know the model number and
serial number. All Carrier Transport Air Conditioning
system components have a model and serial number
data tag, with bar code (since 2002), located on each
evaporator and condenser assembly. See Figure 1-1
for skirt mounted condenser data tag location,
Figure 1-2 for GEN 4 evaporator data tag location,
Figure 1-3 for GEN 5 evaporator data tag location and
Figure 1-6 for the CM-7 & CM-11 rooftop condensers
(no longer offered) data tag location. Figure 1-4 &
Figure 1-5 shows the location of the data tags for
In--Wall evaporator assemblies. Figure 1--7 shows the
KR--2/3 rooftop condenser PID tag location and
Figure 1-8 shows the PID data tag location for KR--4

condensers.

Knowing these locations
information on these data tags will aid you in completing
the On--Line Warranty Registration (refer to Section 10),
and if needed, ordering the correct replacement parts.
NOTE
The EM-9 evaporator data tag is located on the
side of the evaporator assembly, not between
the blower assemblies (See Figure 1-2).

1.3.2 System Requirements Label

The system requirements label (See Figure 11-1) is
filled out after the installation and is affixed as close to
the vehicle compressor as possible. Refer to paragraph
11.1 for instruction on completing the system
requirements label.
