Evacuation; System Charge; Cfm Selection Board - Johnson Controls 13 SEER - THGD Installation Manual

CFM SELECTION BOARD SETTINGS
For proper system operation the CFM Selection Board jumpers must be
set properly.
Refer to the Tabular Data Sheet for the recommended air flow settings
for each size condensing unit.
Set the cooling speed per the instructions for the air handler or furnace
by selecting the correct COOL and ADJ taps. Verify the airflow using
the LED display on the CFM selection board.
The HEAT PUMP jumper MUST be removed for proper system opera-
tion.
The HUMIDISTAT jumper must also be removed if a dehumidistat is
installed.

SECTION VI: EVACUATION
It will be necessary to evacuate the system to 500 microns or less. If a
leak is suspected, leak test with dry nitrogen to locate the leak. Repair
the leak and test again.
To verify that the system has no leaks, simply close the valve to the vac-
uum pump suction to isolate the pump and hold the system under vac-
uum. Watch the micron gauge for a few minutes. If the micron gauge
indicates a steady and continuous rise, it's an indication of a leak. If the
gauge shows a rise, then levels off after a few minutes and remains
fairly constant, its an indication that the system is leak free but still con-
tains moisture and may require further evacuation if the reading is
above 500 microns.
SECTION VII: SYSTEM CHARGE
The factory charge in the outdoor unit includes enough charge for the
unit, a 15 ft. line set and the smallest indoor coil match-up. Some indoor
coil matches may require additional charge. See tabular data sheet pro-
vided in unit literature packet for charge requirements.
Do not leave the system open to the atmosphere.
The "TOTAL SYSTEM CHARGE" must be permanently stamped on the
unit data plate.

Total system charge is determined as follows:
1. Determine outdoor unit charge from tabular data sheet.
2. Determine indoor coil adjustment from tabular data sheet.
3. Calculate the line charge using the tabular data sheet if line length
is greater than 15 feet.
4. Total system charge = item 1 + item 2 + item 3.
5. Permanently stamp the unit data plate with the total amount of
refrigerant in the system.
Refrigerant charging should only be carried out by a qualified air
conditioning contractor.
Compressor damage will occur if system is improperly charged. On
new system installations, charge system per tabular data sheet for
the matched coil and follow guidelines in this instruction.
If a calibrated charging cylinder or accurate weighing device is avail-
able, add refrigerant accordingly. Otherwise, model-specific charging
charts are provided on the units rating plate for cooling mode only.
There is no accurate method for charging these units in the heating
mode. If charging is required during the heating mode, the unit must be
evacuated and charge weighed in according to the rating plate. If TXV
indoor coils are used with the following subcooling charging method
must be used. Superheat charging charts are not valid with TXV
equipped systems.
Subcooling Charging Method - Cooling Only
The recommended subcooling is 10°F
1. Set the system running in the cooling mode by setting the thermo-
stat at least 6°F below the room temperature.
2. Operate the system for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.
3. Refer to the tabular data sheet for the recommended airflow and
verify this indoor airflow (it should be about 400 SCFM per ton).
4. Measure the liquid refrigerant pressure P and temperature T at the
service valve.
5. Calculate the saturated liquid temperature ST from Table 1 "R-22
Saturated Properties".
6. Subcooling temperature TC = Saturated Temperature (ST) - Liquid
Temp (T).
Example: The pressure P and temperature T measured at the liq-
uid service port is 196 psig and 90°F, respectively. From Table 1
"R-22 Saturated Properties", the saturated temperature for 196
psig is 100°F. The subcooling temperature TC = 100°-90°=10°F
Add charge if the calculated subcooling temperature TC in Step 6 is
lower than the recommended level. Remove and recover the refrigerant
if the subcooling TC is higher than the recommended level. See Table 1
"R-22 Saturated Properties" for R-22 saturation temperatures
See Figure 10 "Heat Pump Flow Diagram" to trace the flow of refriger-
ant through the system.
Check flare caps on service ports to be sure they are leak tight. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 inch - lbs. maximum).
