  • Page 3: Space And Location Requirements

    Space and Location Requirements for Air Cooled Condensing Units and Remote Condensers The most important consideration which must be taken into account when Another consideration which must be taken is that the unit should be deciding upon the location of air-cooled equipment is the provision for a mounted away from noise sensitive spaces and must have adequate support supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated air from the to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building.
  • Page 4: Condensing Unit Rigging And Mounting

    Condensing Unit Rigging and Mounting Figure 3. Spring Mount Figure 2. Spring Mount Rigging holes are provided on all units. Caution should be exercised when moving these units. To prevent damage to the unit housing during rigging, cables or chains used must be held apart by spacer bars. The mounting platform or base should be level and located so as to permit free access of supply air.

    Requirements for Remote and Water Cooled Condensing Units General Installation Water Regulating Valve The indoor compressor units are designed to be used with a remote Using this control on the water cooled condensing units, the head pressure condenser. The water cooled units are similar, except that they have an can be maintained by adjusting the ow of water through the condenser integral water cooled condenser.
  • Page 6: Head Pressure Control

    Head Pressure Control Several types of head pressure control systems are available on condensing units: A. Dual Valve System. (See section on operation and adjustment.) B. Single Valve System. (No adjustments possible for standard non- adjustable version, See section on operation and adjustment of adjustable version.) C.
  • Page 7: Phase Loss Monitor

    Phase Loss Monitor When phase sequence is correct and full line voltage is present on all three phases, the relay is energized as the normal condition indicator light glows. If compressor fails to operate and the normal condition indicator light on the phase monitor does not glow, then the supplied electrical current is not in phase with the monitor.

    Recommended Refrigerant Piping Practices Refrigerant Pipe Support The system as supplied by Heatcraft Refrigeration Products, was thoroughly 1. Normally, any straight run of tubing must be supported in at least two cleaned and dehydrated at the factory. Foreign matter may enter the system locations near each end of the run.
  • Page 9: Liquid Lines

    Liquid Lines Liquid lines should be sized for a minimum pressure drop to prevent on high pressure systems. The amount of subcooling will depend on the “ ashing”. Flashing in the liquid lines would create additional pressure drop design and size of the heat exchanger and on the operating suction and and poor expansion valve operation.
  • Page 10: Line Sizing

    Line Sizing The following Tables 5-8 indicate liquid lines and suction lines for all When determining the refrigerant line length, be sure to add an allowance condensing units for R-404A, R-507, R-407A/C/F, R-448A and R-449A for ttings. See Table 4. Total equivalent length of refrigerant lines is the sum of the actual linear footage and the allowance for ttings.
