Installation & Startup - Emerson COPELAND H Series User Manual

10. Installation, system processing and commissioning
Utmost care must be taken while handling the H-Series condensing unit.
Please go through the contents below to ensure proper handling.
a. Inspection
Inspect the condensing unit and any accessories shipped with them for damages or
shortages before and during unloading. All items on bill of lading should be
accounted for prior to signing the shipping receipt. Note any shortages or damage
on delivery receipt (specify the extent and type of damage found). Unit should be
inspected carefully for concealed damage.
Notify Emerson sales/application personnel of the damage immediately.
Request an immediate joint inspection and do not repair the unit until inspected by
Emerson's representative.
The system is shipped with a holding charge of dry nitrogen. Check to see that
pressure is still in the unit upon receipt. Report lack of pressure immediately to the
Emerson's application/sales representative.
b. Location and Fixing
The unit should always be installed in a location that ensures clean air flow.
It is recommended that a clearance of 300 mm from the wall (or the next unit) be
maintained from the unit's left and rear panels whereas a clearance of 500 mm
must be maintained from the unit's right, top and front panels (seen facing the
front of the unit).
Both service access and airflow have been considered in making these
recommendations.
Where multiple units are to be installed in the same location, the contractor needs
to consider each individual case carefully.
There can be many variations of unit quantities and available space and it is not the
intention of this manual to go over these. Ideally, the unit should be mounted on a
solid concrete slab with anti-vibration pads between unit feet and concrete.
However, the H-Series condensing unit has also been designed for wall mounting
on suitable brackets. Wall mounting brackets are not included. Another factor to
consider in finding a good installation site is the direction of the prevailing wind.
For example if the air leaving the condenser faces the prevailing wind, the air flow
through the condenser can be impeded, causing high condensing temperatures
ultimately resulting in reducing unit life. A baffle is a remedy for this situation.
