RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT INSPECTION All equipment should be carefully checked for damage or shortages as soon as it is received. Each shipment should be carefully checked against the bill of lading. If any damage or shortage is evident, a notation must be made on the delivery receipt before it is signed and a claim should then be filed against the freight carrier.

PIPING INSTALLATION DRAIN LINE The drain line should be as short and as steeply pitched as possible with a minimum of ¼” drop per running foot. A drain line trap should be installed to prevent warm moist air from migrating through the drain line.
B. A sufficient number of pressure relief and pressure regulating relief valves may need to be provided based on the system capacity and located such that no stop valve is provided between the relief valves and the parts or section of the system being protected. To properly protect and control systems using pumped liquid overfeed R744, the solenoid, isolation, and pressure relief valves shall be arranged as shown in either Figure 2 or 3, according to the solenoid valve arrangement.
EVACUATION AND LEAK TEST When all refrigeration connections have been completed, the entire system must be tested for leaks and then evacuated. Refer to the instructions provided with your compressor system for information on performing the leak test and evacuation.

REFRIGERANT DISTRIBUTOR NOZZLES Unit coolers are piped using a refrigerant distributor with a changeable nozzle design to equally distribute refrigerant to each circuit of the evaporator coil. Distributor nozzles are included and are packed in individual plastic envelopes along with a retainer ring and instruction card. The instruction card tells what refrigerant the nozzle is to be used with.
Expansion valve recommendations are listed in tables 6, 7, and 8. Table 8 MK SERIES – AIR DEFROST 10°F TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE 15°F TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE +25°F EVAPORATING TEMPERATURE +25°F EVAPORATING TEMPERATURE MODEL BTUH BTUH R-404A* R407A R408A R-404A* R407A R408A 10°F 15°F T.D.

ELECTRICAL FIELD WIRING WARNING: All power supply to the unit must be shut off before opening any compartments, cleaning or performing maintenance. Field wiring should comply with NEC and local codes. The power supply voltage, phase, and frequency must match what is shown on the unit cooler data plate. The field-wiring compartment is constructed as part of the unit cooler enclosure.
AIR DEFROST SEQUENCE OF OPERATION SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. The unit cooler fan motors are energized, and the fans operate continually. 2. The room thermostat calls for cooling. The liquid solenoid valve opens allowing liquid to flow to the unit cooler. The suction pressure rises and starts the compressor. 3.
7.1.2 STEP B: DEFROST CYCLE The timer starts defrosting of the evaporator coil at predetermined intervals. A typical setting would be two defrost periods per 24-hour day. Systems using Carbon Dioxide (R744) should defrost at least twice per day. 1. Upon initiation of the defrost cycle, the timer mechanically disconnects power to terminal “4” thus closing the liquid line solenoid valve and shutting off the fan motors.
GAS DEFROST SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The hot gas defrost cycle is time clock initiated and terminated. HGE/HGG 3 PIPE HOT GAS DEFROST Three pipe hot gas defrost systems distribute compressor discharge gas through a separate hot gas line, controlled by a solenoid valve, through a check valve to the refrigerant distributor auxiliary side connection.
Figure 17 (G) HGG - 3 PIPE HOT GAS COIL AND HOT GAS DRAIN PAN DEFROST WIRING KGE/KGG REVERSE CYCLE 2 PIPE KOOL GAS DEFROST Reverse cycle (2 pipe) defrost systems distribute compressor discharge gas through the suction line during defrost. Defrost condensate flows through the refrigerant distributor auxiliary side connection and a check valve, bypassing the expansion valve and the liquid line solenoid valve into the liquid line which is reduced in pressure.

UNITS WITH KE2 EVAP OEM CONTROLLER KE2 Evap OEM controller reduces the energy used by the evaporator coil in refrigeration systems through precise control of superheat, fan management, and demand defrost. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. KE2 Evap OEM creates the evaporator profile when powered up initially. The controller completes a sequence of operational tests of the system (brings the space down to temperature, defrosts the coil, and repeats) to identify a temperature relationship between the coil temperature and space temperature.
DEFROST OPERATION KE2 Evap OEM defrost uses a two-tier approach: a. Monitors the coil performance to extend the time between defrosts. b. Monitors the coil’s efficiency (comparing the temperature of the coil to the space temperature) and only calls for defrost when efficiency is less than 90% (incoming data is compared to the evaporator profile data stored in the controller’s memory).
9.2.2 DEFROST SETTINGS The “Defrost Mode” parameter enables defrost initiation either based on demand, or by schedule, or by monitoring the compressor run time (duration of refrigeration “ON” cycles). Demand or schedule mode is preferred. Scheduling defrosts evenly across the day, can be achieved by setting following parameters: a.

9.2.6 ELECTRIC DEFROST A traditional defrost controller will power the heaters and keep them on until it receives a signal to terminate based on time or a temperature cut out. One of the issues created with this approach is a fogging effect.
9.2.7 HOT GAS DEFROST Notes: 1. The factory default setting for “Defrost Pump Down Time” is 2 minutes for hot gas defrost units. This parameter may be adjusted in the field based on the specific application. (liquid line length, location of liquid line solenoid valve, etc.).

10 START UP 10.1 PRE-STARTUP After the installation is completed, a review of the following items should be performed before the system is placed into operation: Check electrical connections, fan blade set screws, fan motors, guards, and all other fasteners for tightness.
11 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE A preventative maintenance schedule should be set up as soon as the Unit Cooler is installed. The unit should be inspected periodically for proper operation. WARNING - All power must be disconnected before cleaning. 1. Inspect and clean the drain pan to insure free drainage of condensate. The drain pan should be cleaned regularly with warm water and soap.
