Note: All Compressors are delivered with sufficient oil for normal operation. The optimum oil level or oil return should be checked by operating the compressor until the system is stable. It is not recommended to top up Oil unnecessary.

Location and fixing • The unit should always be installed in a location that ensures clean air flow. 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.

Refrigeration piping installation All interconnecting pipes should be of refrigeration grade, clean, dehydrated and must remain capped at both ends until installation. Even during installation, if the system is left for any reasonable period (say two hours), pipes should be re-capped to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the system.
Start up and operation Leak check The unit has been leak tested and QA approved from the factory. However, due to handling and shipping the entire refrigeration system must be tested for leaks. Failure to carry out leak test can result to undesirable system performance.
Refrigerant charging After ensuring the system is vacuumed properly and all valves are opened, only then start the refrigerant charging process. Below mentioned procedure is applicable for both Scroll & Reciprocating Compressors. Step-by-step: 1. Ensure that there is no power supply to the CDU unit. The Liquid Line solenoid needs to be kept open for the charging process, if available and this may require a temporary power feed to it.
CDU maintenance Condenser fins • Condenser fins become dirty over time as ambient air is induced to the condenser. Dirty coil surfaces result in high condensing temperatures and poor unit performance. Regular cleaning is recommended with frequency depending on the installation and the surrounding environment. As a general guide, it is advisable to do this at least once every two months.
Application tips for compressors (reciprocating) • Please do Vacuum break with pure liquid refrigerant charge on high side and top-up by liquid bleed in suction. • Always ensure the LP/HP Setting before starting the compressor. • Don’t use refrigeration compressor for self-evacuation. •...

Pressure -Temperature Chart How to read Pressure -Temperature Chart Before start/during the running system, how to check the pressure corresponding to temperature. For example - Kindly refer to above mentioned reading in red circle & pointed with arrow. Refrigerant = R22, Temperature = 35°C Pressure (PSI) = 181.9 Consider the ambient 35°C, so your system standing pressure should be 181.9 psi in R22 system.
