Step
1 5--('opeland Scroll Compressor (Puron Refrigerant)
The compressor used in this product is specifically designed to
operate with Puron (R-410A) refrigerant and cannot be
interchanged.
Tire compressor is an electrical, as well as mechanical, device.
Exercise extreme caution when working near compressors. Power
should be shut off, if possible, for most troubleshooting techniques.
Refrigerants present additional safety hazards.
EXPLOSION, FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death and/or property damage.
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerants.
Keep torches and other ignition sources away from
refrigerants and oils.
The scroll compressor pumps refrigerant throughout the system by
the interaction of a stationary and an orbiting scroll. The scroll
compressor has no dynamic suction or discharge valves, and it is
more tolerant of stresses caused by debris, liquid slugging, and
flooded starts. The compressor is equipped with an anti-rotational
device and an internal pressure-relief port. The anti-rotational
device prevents the scroll from turning backwards and replaces the
need for a cycle protector. The pressure-relief port is a safety device,
designed to protect against extreme high pressure. The relief port
has an operating range between 550 and 625 psi differential
pressure.
The ('opeland scroll compressor uses Mobil 3MA POE oil. This
is the only oil allowed for oil recharge.
Step 16--Refrigerant System
This step covers the refrigerant system of the 48DT. including the
compressor oil needed, servicing systems on roofs containing
synthetic materials, the filter drier, and refrigerant charging.
REFRIGERANT
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
This system uses Puron (R-410A) refrigerant which has
higher operating pressures than R-22 and other refrigerants.
No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge set,
hoses, and recovery system mustbe designed to handle Puron.
If vou are unsure, consult the equipment manufacturer.
COMPRESSOR OIL
The compressor in this system uses a polyolester (POE) oil, Mobil
3MA POE. This oil is extremely hygroscopic, nmaning it absorbs
water readily. POE oils can absorb 15 times as much water as other
oils designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary
precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
SERVICING SYSTEMS ON ROOFS WITH SYNTHETIC
MATERIALS
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long
term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.
Exposure. even if immediately cleaned up, may cause
embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year or more.
When performing any service that may risk exposure of compressor
oil to the roof, take appropriate precautions to protect roofing.
Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not limited to,
compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant leaks, and replacing
refrigerant components such as filter drier, pressure switch,
metering device, coil, accumulator, or reversing valve.
Synthetic Roof Precautionary Procedure
1. (?over extended roof working area with an impermeable
polyethylene (plastic) drip cloth or tarp. Cover an
approximate 10 X 10 ft area.
2. Cover area in front of the unit service panel with a terry cloth
shop towel to absorb lubricant spills and prevent run-offs.
and protect drop cloth from tears caused by tools or
components.
3. Place terry cloth shop towel inside unit inmmdiately under
component(s) to be serviced and prevent lubricant run-offs
through the louvered openings in the unit base.
4. Perform required service.
5. Remove and dispose of any oil-contaminated material per
local codes.
LIQUID-LINE BI-FLOW FILTER DRIER
The bi-flow filter drier is specifically designed to operate with
Puron. Use only factory-authorized components. Filter drier must
be replaced whenever the refrigerant system is opened. When
removing a filter drier, use a tubing cutter to cut the drier from the
system. Do not unsweat a filter drier from the system. Heat from
unsweating will release moisture and contaminants from drier into
system.
PURON (R-410A) REFRIGERANT CHARGING
Refer to unit information plate and charging chart. Some R-410A
refrigerant cylinders contain a dip tube to allow liquid
refrigerant to flow from cylinder in upright position. For
cylinders equipped with a clip tube, charge Puron units with cylinder
in upright position and a commercial metering device in manifold
hose. Charge refrigerant into suction line.
TROUBLESHOOTING
LED DESCRIPTION
LEDs built into Infinity control boards provide installer or service
person information concerning operation and/or fault condition of
the unit controls and ECM motor. This information is also available
at the system UI in text with basic troubleshooting instructions.
Careful use of information displayed will reduce the need for
extensive manual troubleshooting. See section B in Start-Up and
Troubleshooting and Table 5, as well as the UI instructions, for
additional information. Additional Troubleshooting information
can be found in Table 10.
