2 General Safety Information Installation and maintenance to be performed only by qualied personnel who are familiar with this type of equipment. Some units are pressurized with dry air or iner t gas. All units must be evacuated befor e charging the system with r efrigerant.
3 © 2008 Heatcraft Refrigeration Products LL C The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding upon the location of air-cooled equipment is the provision for a supply of ambient air to the condenser , and removal of heated air fr om the condensing unit or remote c ondenser area.
4 Requirements for Remot e and Wa ter Cooled Condensing Units General Installation The indoor compressor units ar e designed to be used with a remote condenser . T he water cooled units are similar , except that they have an integral wat er cooled condenser .

6 CAUTION: Under no circumstance should all condenser motors be allo wed to cycle o on one control . At least one motor shall be wired t o operate at all times. Under most circumstances, the c ondenser motor nearest the inlet header should remain on whenev er the compressor is operating .
7 Refrigeration Oils* With the changes that hav e taken place in our industry due to the CFC issue, we hav e reevaluated our lubricants t o ensure compatibility with the new HFC refrigerants and HCFC interim blends o ered by several chemical producers.

9 Liquid Lines Liquid lines should be sized for a minimum pressur e drop to prev ent “ashing” . Flashing in the liquid lines would creat e additional pressure drop and poor expansion valve operation.

14 Evacua tion and Leak Detection Due to the smaller molecule size of HFC’ s, they will tend to leak more r eadily than CFC’ s. Consequently , it is of the utmost impor tance that proper system evacuation and leak detection procedures be emplo yed.
15 Check Out and Start Up After the installation has been completed, the f ollowing points should be cover ed before the syst em is placed in operation: Check all electrical and refrigerant connections. Be sure they are all tight. Observe compressor oil level befor e start-up.
16 Sy stem Balancing - Compr essor Superheat IMPORT ANT: In order to obtain the maximum capacity from a system, and to ensur e trouble-free operation, it is necessary to balance each and every system. This is extremely important with any refrigeration system.
17 Electric Defrost T roubleshooting The electric defrost units are relativ ely simple and trouble-free in operation: Timer If the system does not go through its proper sequence , check timer operation through a defrost cycle . Check for loose wires or terminals .
