SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation and servicing of air conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and quali­ fied service personnel should install, repair or service air conditioning equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic mainte­ nance functions of cleaning coils and filters and re­ placing filters. All other operations should be per­ formed by trained service personnel. When working on air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. U se quenching cloth for brazing opera­ tions. Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 — Check Equipment and Jobsite

UNPACK UNIT — Move to final location. Slide from carton taking special care not to damage serv­ ice valves or grilles.

INSPECT EQUIPMENT — File claim with ship­ ping company if damaged or incomplete. Check factory supplied (field installed) liquid line solenoid valve for shipping damage.

COMPLETE OR CONSIDER SYSTEM RE­ QUIREMENTS before installation;

Consult local building codes and National Elec­ trical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements.

When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, refrigerant piping and service. Maintain a minimum of 4 ft clearance from obstruc­ tions above and 18 in. on sides of unit. Maintain a distance of 24 in. between condensing units. Posi­ tion so water from roof or eaves does not flow directly on unit.

Install on a solid, level mounting pad. It is not necessary to attach unit to pad but if desired or required by local code, position tiedown bolts in pad. Fasten unit to pad using 2 holes provided in unit base. See Fig. 1.

Carrier Cooling System Capacity Optimization — AccuRater™ (bypass type) refrigerant control, with field-replaceable piston (see Fig. 2), is supplied on evaporator. Use Optimization Chart, Table 2 to find AccuRater piston size required for condenser/ evaporator system being installed.

When evaporator is more than 2 sizes larger than condensing unit (i.e. 38ED018I28HQ036), remove AccuRater and use a bleed-type thermal expansion valve (TXV) for refrigerant control. Size TXV to nominal capacity of condensing unit.

Replace piston, only if required (Table 2), before connecting refrigerant lines. Piston replacement in­ structions are included in evaporator installation book. After system installation is complete, use Charging Chart to check and/or adjust refrigerant charge.

Components

Condensing Units Connected to Carrier-Approved Evaporators — Condensing Units contain correct system refrigerant charge for operation with evap­ orator of the same size when connected by 25 ft or less of field-supplied or Carrier accessory tubing. Check refrigerant charge for maximum efficiency (see Refrigerant Charging, page 6).

Step 2 — Make Piping Connections — Con­ densing units may be connected to evaporator sec­ tions using Carrier accessory tubing package (Table 3) or field-supplied tubing of refrigerant grade, correct size and condition (Table 1). For tubing requirements beyond 50 ft, obtain information from local Carrier distributor.

When 1-1/8 in. tubing is used (38ED036,042, 048,060) braze it to the accessory 1-1/8 x 3/4-in. suction connection adapter (Carrier Part No. 28VQ900011) or to correctly sized field-supplied adapter, then make Compatible Fittingconnections.

Isolate interconnecting tubing from framing and ductwork or where tubing runs thru stud spaces, en­ closed ceilings or pipe chases. Use isolation type hanger (Fig. 3) since rigid fastening transmits pulsa­ tions to structure creating objectionable sound.

Fig. 3 — Refrigerant Line Hangers

Use 1-1/8 in. suction line on 38ED036,042,048 and 060 systems. A capacity reduction results if Carrier accessory tubing is used on these systems. (Example: When a 25-ft accessory tubing package is used on a 38ED048 system, the smaller suction line results in a 3% capacity reduction.)

Length of interconnecting tubing may necessitate refrigerant charge adjustment. Follow special re­ quirements described in Start-Up, Refrigerant Charging, page 6. Do not use less than 10 ft of inter­ connecting tubing. On Carrier accessory tubing packages, do not cut 5/16-in. or 1 /4-in. liquid line or 7/8-in. suction line. These tubing packages have swaged ends that if cut, will not fit into refrigerant line fittings. Bend or coil excess tubing to fit.

Do not use damaged, undersized or contaminated tubing. Always evacuate or purge evaporator coil and tubing system. When purging, use field-supplied refrigerant, not unit holding charge refrigerant.

When making tubing connections, be sure to pro­ vide clearance at unit for electrical connections.

REPLACE THE ACCURATER™ REFRIG­ ERANT CONTROL PISTON IN THE INDOOR COIL, if required, before connecting refrigerant lines. See Carrier Cooling System Capacity Optimi­ zation, page 1.

CONNECT REFRIGERANT LINES to fittings on condensing unit suction and liquid service valves (Fig. 1). Unit Compatible Fittings permit mechan­ ical (quick connect) or sweat connections.

Models 38ED036,042,048,060 — When using 1-1/8 in. field-supplied suction line, use field-supplied 3 / 4-in. by 1 -1 / 8 in. suction valve connection adapter (28VQ900011). Sweat connect refrigerant suction line to 1-1/8 in. end of adapter. Be sure to provide a heat sink at the service valve to prevent damage during sweating operation. Connect 3/4-in. end of adapter to unit suction line Compatible Fitting.

Connect liquid refrigerant line to

suction line

adapter. (Not necessary if 38LS accessory tubing is used.)

Mechanical Connection — (Mate one set of eonnections at a time.)

1. Loosen nut on Compatible Fitting one turn. Do not remove.

2.Remove plug and be sure O-ring is in the groove inside the Compatible Fitting.

3.Cut tubing to correct length, deburr and size as necessary.

4.Insert tube into Compatible Fitting until it bottoms. Tighten nut until it bottoms on back coupling flange. Keep tube bottomed in Com­ patible Fitting while tightening nut.

Sweat Connection — (Use refrigerant grade tubing.)

1. Remove locking nut, rubber O-ring and Schrader core and cap from valve service port.

2.Cut tubing to correct length, deburr and size as necessary.

3.Insert tube in Compatible Fitting until it bottoms. Wrap top and bottom of service valves in wet cloth to prevent damage by heat. Solder with lowtemperature (430 F) silver alloy solder.

4.Replace Schrader core and cap.

5.Evacuate or purge system using field-supplied refrigerant.

Step 3 — Install Solenoid on Indoor Coil Liquid Line Fitting — Before making liquid line connec­ tions, install factory-supplied solenoid on indoor coil liquid line fitting. It is not necessary to flare the system liquid line if an accessory flare-to-Compatible Fitting coupler is used (refer to indoor coil installa­ tion instructions. Accessory Flare to Compatible Coupler).

See Fig. 4 and install as follows:

1.Remove coil liquid line cap and discard.

2.Attach field-supplied flare fittings to solenoid valve straight 3/8-in. stubs.

Fig. 4 — Solenoid Installation

3.Connect solenoid to tube assembly, making sure solenoid flow arrows point towards indoor coil. Mount solenoid in any position except valve body at top and electric coil at bottom (see Fig. 4).

4.Tighten flare nuts.

5.Wire coil into system control circuit as shown in Fig. 5.

Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections — Be

sure field wiring complies with local and national fire, safety and electrical codes, and that voltage to unit is within limits shown in Table 4. Contact local power company for correction of improper line voltage.
