Chapter 1 Description & Specifications eneral esCripTion Marvair's ComPac lines are a series of vertical wall-mounted air conditioning systems that provide ® heating, cooling, and ventilation for electronic equipment shelters, process control centers, and other applications with high internal heat gains. The series includes multiple sizes and nominal cooling capacities from 24,000 to 72,000 BTUH.
General Operation Refrigerant Cycle (Cooling Mode) The ComPac I & ComPac II A/C use R-22 refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigera- ® ® tion cycle to transfer heat from air in an enclosed space to the outside. A double blower assembly blows indoor air across the evaporator.
(aVp24-72) leCTroniC onTrol oarD oDe of peraTion Normal 24 VAC power must be continuously applied to “R” and “C”. Upon a call for cooling “Y” and with the high pressure switch (HPS) closed, the compressor will be energized. (Note: See the delay on make feature.) The compressor will remain energized during the 3 minute timed low pressure by-pass cycle.

Low Ambient Control The low ambient control permits cooling when outdoor ambient temperatures are low. The control uses a reverse-acting high pressure switch to cycle the condenser fan motor according to liquid refrig- erant pressure conditions. Switch closure and fan operation occurs when the pressure reaches 250 PSIG.
20°F (-7°C) or minus 20°F (-29°C). Please refer to Hot Gas Bypass Application Bulletin for details. Electric Reheat Dehumidification A humidity controller (p/n 50057) allows electric heat and cooling to operate simultaneously. Marvair ® air conditioners equipped with the dehumidification option allow the indoor humidity of the controlled environment to be maintained at or below a certain humidity set point.
In applications where a shelter has redundant air conditioning units and is controlled by a lead lag controller (Marvair's LL357D4 or CommStat3™ Controller), most times the dehumidification option is only necessary on one of the two units. It is possible for one unit to be operating in the cooling mode while the unit with dehumidification is operating at the same time.
ii a/C o ® ConoMizer oMponenTs Damper Actuator: The damper actuator is a 24V motor that modulates the position of the damper blade. It is capable of driving a full 90 degrees within 90 seconds. The assembly has a spring return to close the damper during power outage.
The controller modulates the position of the outside air damper in response to input from the enthalpy and mixed air sensors. The controller is designed to maintain the supply air temperature between 50° to 56°F by mixing warm indoor air with cooler outdoor air. On a call for cooling from the wall-mounted thermostat, if outdoor conditions are suitable, the controller will open the damper and admit outside air (i.e., economizer cooling).
Failure to observe and follow Warnings and Cautions and these Instructions could result in death, bodily injury or property damage. Read this manual and follow its instructions and adhere to all Cautions and Warnings in the manual and on the Marvair unit.. quipMenT...
Duct work should be designed and installed in accordance with all applicable safety codes and standards. Marvair strongly recommends referring to the current edition of the National Fire ® Protection Association Standards 90A and 90B before designing and installing duct work. The duct system must be engineered to insure sufficient air flow through the unit to prevent over-heating of the heater element.

Start Relay and Capacitor for AVP24-36 (Field Installed) (Not recommended for scroll compressors.) Additional Items Needed: Additional hardware and miscellaneous supplies (not furnished by Marvair ) are needed for installation. ® For example, the list below contains approximate quantities of items typically needed for mounting a unit on a wood frame wall structure.
Note: The following instructions are for general guidance only. Due to the wide variety of installa- tion possibilities, specific instructions will not be given. When in doubt, follow standard and accepted installation practices, or contact Marvair for additional assistance. ®...

Reverse rotation also results in a substantially reduced current draw when compared to tabulated values. Marvair units have either a reciprocating or scroll compressor. A reciprocation compressor is standard on the AVP24, 30 & 36 units. However, a scroll compressor is an option on these ComPac I and ®...

a/C T ll357D4 esTinG WiTh Note: The LL357D4 does not require the units to be in phase. Procedure: (A/C Testing with LL357D4 Lead/Lag Control for Two Units) Prior to testing the air conditioners, the LL357D4 must be correctly configured. Please refer to the LL357D4 Product Data Sheet for instructions on installing and configuring the unit.
A/C is a prerequisite to troubleshoot- ® ing. Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit. Marvair's ComPac air conditioners are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from the factory. ® Of course, it is possible that a defect may escape undetected, or damage may have occurred during transportation.
PROBLEM/SYMPTOM LIKELY CAUSE(S) CORRECTION C. Unit cycles on high/low pressure 1. Loss or restriction of airflow. 1. Check blower assembly for proper operation. Look limit. for airflow restrictions, e.g.. the air filter. Check blower motor and condenser fan. 2. Restriction in refrigerant circuit. 2.
NOTE: Feel the top of the compressor to see if it has overheated. If it is hot, the internal overload may be open. You may have to wait several hours for it to reset. 3. Motor Winding Resistances: Using a digital volt-ohm meter (VOM), measure the resistance across the compressor windings as shown below.
Chapter 5 Maintenance CheDuleD ainTenanCe Marvair strongly recommends that the air conditioner be serviced a minimum of twice a year – once ® prior to the heating season and once prior to the cooling season. At this time the filters, evaporator coil, condenser coil, the cabinet, and condensate drains should be serviced as described below.
Marvair will honor its warranty and furnish the required replacement part. All costs for shipment and risk of loss during shipment of the product to Marvair and back to the owner shall be the responsibility and liability of the owner. Upon written request by an owner, Marvair may...
