Installation Check-Out; Final (Check-Out Sheet) - Carrier Transport Air Conditioning Installation Procedures Manual

INSTALLATION CHECK-OUT

The installation checkout procedure is an important step in the installation of any air conditioning system. The reason
for the installation checkout procedure is to insure that all Carrier Transport Air Conditioning standards of installation
quality have been met. An itemized checkout form will help you in the checkout process and will provide a device for
permanently recording your findings. The form that follows this introduction represents a guideline, that can be used as
is, or as a starting point for the development of your own custom installation checkout sheet. A correctly completed
final checkout will guarantee a quality installation that will last the life of the bus.

FINAL (CHECK-OUT SHEET)

Is care taken during the un-packing and installation of the comptressor assembly,
thus ensuring the compressor clutch factory-set air gap was not compromised?
Never place the compressor on the clutch assembly.
Is compressor and compressor mount secure?
Are bolts torqued to proper specifications when noted on mount kit drawing?
Is there good alignment between the compressor, idler and crank pulley? Always use a
straight edge to determine alignment. Eye sighting is not good enough!
Are belts tightened per manufacturers recommendations?
Are refrigerant hoses routed through the engine compartment to the compressor
correctly? Refrigerant hose must be protected from heat sources and sharp objects!
Refrigerant hose should be supported with insulated clamps wherever possible.
Is the condenser(s) mounted securely to the bus floor?
I
s condenser(s) mounted as close as possible to bus skirt? If condenser cannot be
mounted close to the skirt, a shroud must be installed to prevent re-circulation of heat.
I
s bus skirt cut out to allow maximum airflow across the coil? Cut out must be
least as large as the condenser coil to allow for maximum heat rejection.
Are all the condenser fans blowing air in the proper direction? Through the Bus
skirt cut-out and across the condenser coil.
