Product Identification - Amana AAC081SRB Service Manual

Product identification
EveryAmana ® Room Air Conditioner has an
identification plate showing the model number, P
(manufacturing part) number, serial number of unit.
Identification plate is located on side of unit. Use plate to
positively identify specific model of unit being serviced.
Design Information
Many design features are incorporated into all Amana ®
model Room Air Conditioners. Basic concepts of balance
in refrigeration and air handling components are used in
all models.
The outer case of unit, regardless of style, is designed to
help circulate air across evaporator, condenser,
compressor and fan motor. It must be in place to ensure
maximum efficiency of unit, to prevent overheating of
components, and to maintain system balance and
capacity.
Structural components of room air conditioners are
heavy, zinc-coated steel that is further treated with zinc
phosphate. Exterior parts are hot-dipped galvanized steel
that is chemically pretreated, then primed with electro-
coated primer, and finished with a baked-on polyester top
coat.
Modular design allows easier and faster disassembly
and assembly.
Acoustical and thermal insulation, used on partition panel
and in side air discharge plenum, reduce noise and
increase efficiency.
Large evaporator and condenser coils are designed to
provide maximum heat transfer. Coils are manufactured
from rifled copper tubing and embossed aluminum fins to
achieve maximum heat transfer. Thermal mastic is
placed on refrigeration tubes to dampen and isolate
system vibrations.
Fan motors are sealed to prevent moisture and dirt
contamination of motor windings. Motor bearings are
permanently lubricated. Large blower wheels and
condenser fans reduce noise levels.
Condenser fans contain a slinger ring for condensate
removal. The slinger ring picks-up condensate and
sprays it against the condenser, increasing condenser
evaporative cooling. In extreme humidity conditions,
excess condensate drains from base pan.
