    2.5.5 R-407C PFH Installed as a Replacement Condensing Unit in an R-22 System When replacing the condensing unit of an existing Liebert split system containing R-22 and mineral oil, the following should be considered. 1. Check for proper operation of the system prior to replacing the outdoor unit. If this is not possible, at minimum perform a leak check to ensure that the components that remain (line set, evaporator) are leak tight.

  • Page 30: Hot Gas Bypass

    Operation Hot Gas Bypass 3.4.1 Operation When applying hot gas bypass with split system condensing units, bypassing discharge gas to the compressor suction line offers more flexibility than conventional hot gas bypass to the evaporator unit. The hot gas bypass valve is installed between the compressor discharge piping and suction piping, bypassing the condenser and evaporator coils.
  • Page 31: Maintenance

    Maintenance AINTENANCE General Access the condensing unit by removing the unit housing panel. Clean the air cooled condenser coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. This can be done with compressed air or with a commercial coil cleaner. Check for bent or damaged coil fins and repair as necessary. During winter, do not permit snow to accumulate on or around the condensing unit.
  • Page 32: Electrical Failure-Burnout

    Maintenance 4.2.1 Electrical Failure—Burnout In the event that there is an electrical failure and a complete burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, the proper procedures must be performed in order to clean the system to remove any acids that would cause a future failure. NOTE Failure to properly clean the system after a compressor motor burnout will void the compressor warranty.
  • Page 33: Field Charge Verification

    Maintenance Field Charge Verification An integral sight glass is provided with the receiver to assist in field charge verification. During charge verification set the control temperature down to keep the system running. If the system is equipped with hot gas bypass, de-energize it by removing power from the hot gas solenoid valve coil. To remove power, disconnect the solenoid leads from the unit contactor in the electric box (refer to specific unit schematic;...
