Page 6: Unit Mounting
RIGGING AND MOUNTING Fig. 1 The unit can now be lifted to it’s final mounting position by inserting the lifting forks into the pallet (Figures 4 & 5 - Step 8) and raising the unit into place (Figures 4 & 5 - Step 9). On longer units it is important to find the center “balance point”... - Page 7 RECOMMENDED UNIT COOLER PLACEMENT Air flow within the refrigerated space is critical to achieving optimum cooling and freezing results. If air flow is compromised for any reason the unit may not provide satisfactory cooling performance. There are many potential reasons for poor air flow - few of which are the result of inadequate system capacity or unit malfunction.
- Page 8 UNIT MOUNTING DETAIL Units should be mounted flush to a level ceiling panel using 3/8” stainless steel bolts, hangar rods or lag screws. There is no need to block or pitch the unit to ensure proper condensate drainage if the unit is mounted level. NSF SANITATION Seal the gap between the top of the unit and the ceiling with NSF approved sealant to prevent accumulation of dirt and foreign material.

Page 12: Leak Testing, Evacuation And Charging
LEAK TESTING Once all field piping connections have been made and the braze joints visually inspected for any obvious voids or gaps introduce a trace amount of the system refrigerant through a service gauge manifold to achieve an equalized, static pressure of 25 to 30 PSIG. Make sure that all service and shut off valves are in the open position and slowly introduce a regulated, inert gas such as nitrogen to increase the static system pressure to approx. -
Page 13: Refrigerant Blends / Temperature Glide
REFRIGERANT BLENDS — TEMPERATURE GLIDE The majority of HFC refrigerants in use today are referred to as refrigerant “blends” (composed of two or more different refrigerants). As such, each component within this “blend” evaporates (or condenses) at different temperatures. The temperature range within which each of these different refrigerants completely changes state from a liquid to a gas (or vice versa) is referred to as “temperature glide”. -
