Remote Cooler and Economizer Installation. . . . . 10
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing air-conditioning
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical
components, and equipment location. Only trained, qualified
installers and service technicians should install, start-up, and
service this equipment.
When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature and on tags, stickers, and labels
attached to the equipment. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety
glasses and work gloves. Use care in handling equipment.
Be sure power to equipment is shut off before performing
maintenance or service. Lock out and safety-tag all
disconnects.
GENERAL
The remote cooler accessory allows for the indoor relocation of the cooler on 30XA080-350 units as another means of
freeze protection. When the cooler is located in a heated space,
an anti-freeze solution is not needed and the performance
degradation associated with antifreeze solution can be avoided.
Maximum separation of the 30XA base unit and cooler is
limited to 50 lineal ft (15.25 m) or 75 equivalent ft (22 m) of
piping. For more information, refer to the Carrier Piping Design manual.
The liquid and economizer lines between the exteriorinstalled unit and the remote, interior-installed cooler must
have pressure relief devices installed in accordance with
ASHRAE 15 (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning Engineers) and local codes.
Units to be modified for a remote cooler application must
have the following options:
• Factory-installed suction service valve option.
• Condenser coil type:
— Aluminum fin and copper tube
— Pre-coat aluminum fin and copper tube
— E-coat aluminum fin and copper tube
— Copper fin and copper tube
— E-coat copper fin and copper tube
NOTE: The microchannel heat exchanger option can NOT use
the remote cooler accessory.
The application is limited to the following constraints:
• Operating chilled water temperature is between 40 and 55 F
(4.4 and 12.8 C). When the remote cooler is applied, the
cooler heaters will not function, so it is critical to maintain the
water temperature above the freezing point at all times. If the
water temperature falls below the freezing point, the cooler
does not have protection to keep the water from freezing.
• The interior space temperature where the cooler will be
installed must be maintained at a minimum of 50 F (10 C).
• Underground refrigerant piping is NOT permitted for this
application.
See Table 1 for accessory package usage and see Table 2 for
accessory package contents. In addition to the parts supplied
with each accessory package, the following material must be
field-supplied:
• Refrigerant grade liquid and suction line copper piping for
30XA080-120: circuits A and B and 30XA140-160: circuit
B (length determined by installation). See Tables 3A and 3B
for pipe sizes.
• Schedule 40 steel pipe for 30XA140-160: circuit A and
30XA180-350: circuits A and B (length determined by
installation). See Tables 3A and 3B for pipe sizes.
• 350 psig pressure relief valves and fittings (2 per circuit)
• Suction line tubing insulation (length determined by
installation)
• Economizer line tubing insulation (length determined by
installation)

•
/2 in. strain relief (2)
• Conduit (length determined by installation)
• ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) B16.9
stub end (4 in. [102 mm]), Schedule 40 Steel (one needed
for 30XA140-160, two needed for 30XA180-350)
• ASME B16.5 Class 600 pipe flange (4 in. [102 mm]) with
field-modified extra mounting hole (one needed for
30XA260-300, two needed for 325, 350)
• Flange mounting hardware
• Extra flange gaskets (if necessary)
The 30XA units use R-134a refrigerant. No other refrigerant may be used in this system. Suction tubing design pressure is 220 psig (1517 kPa). Economizer and liquid tubing
design pressure is 350 psig (2413 kPa). Failure to use gage
set, hoses, and recovery systems designed to handle
R-134a refrigerant may result in personal injury and equipment damage. If unsure about equipment, consult the
equipment manufacturer.

Choose a space that can support the weight of the cooler and
economizer with service clearances and area for refrigerant
piping. Field-supplied piping must be limited to less than
50 lineal ft (15.25 m) or 75 equivalent ft (22 m) in length.
Suction and liquid line risers must be limited to less than 15 ft
(4.5 m) vertical riser elevation. Suction lines and economizer
lines must be insulated to prevent condensation. Relocating the
cooler introduces minimal line losses if correct piping practices
are followed. Buried lines are not permitted.
The remote cooler system can be applied in three different
configurations. See Fig. 1-3. In Fig. 1, the remote cooler and
the outdoor unit are at the same elevation. The suction, liquid,
and economizer lines run parallel between the cooler and the
outdoor unit. In Fig. 2, the outdoor unit and remote cooler are
at the same elevation, but the interconnecting piping has an elevation of up to 15 ft (4.5 m) above the base elevation of the
cooler. This could be result of running piping over a wall or
through the ceiling in a building. In Fig. 3, the remote cooler is
located below the outdoor unit. The interconnecting piping has
an elevation of up to 15 ft (4.5 m) above the base elevation of
the remote cooler. This could occur if the remote cooler is installed in a basement.
NOTE: Unit 30XA refrigeration piping can be either copper
tubing or steel tubing with flanged connections. All units are
factory charged with compressor oil to the required level.
However, when the double riser is constructed with U-bends or
street elbows, a substantial amount of oil can be trapped in the
U-bend during prolonged minimum load operation. If this
occurs, additional oil is needed to add to the system to prevent
the oil level from dropping below the minimum level in the oil
separator. Add 1 gallon of oil to each circuit. Refer to Controls,
Start-up, Operation, Service, and Troubleshooting Guide for
recommended oil type.

INSTALLATION
Shut off all power to this equipment prior to installation.
There may be more than one disconnect switch. Tag all
disconnect locations to alert others not to restore power
until work is completed. Failure to disconnect power from
equipment prior to installation could result in serious
personal injury or death.
1. Inspect package contents for missing or damaged parts.
File a claim with the shipping agency if parts are
damaged and notify your local Carrier representative if
any item is missing.
2. Determine the new location for the cooler. Ensure that the
new location supports the cooler and economizers
weights and that there is enough room for service access
and tube removal. See Tables 4A and 4B to determine
refrigeration line sizes. See Table 5 for cooler and
economizers weights. See Fig. 4A-5B for cooler and
economizers dimensions, tube removal clearances, and
service areas.
3. Open and tag all electrical disconnects.
Cooler and Economizer Removal — The cooler and
economizers are accessible from the cooler side of the unit. To
remove the cooler and economizers from the unit, complete the
following steps:
1. Remove refrigerant from all circuits using standard
refrigeration practices. Refer to unit nameplate or installation instructions for refrigerant quantities.
2. Disconnect the cooler heater wiring, and conduit if
equipped.
3. Remove entering and leaving chilled water temperature
thermistors. Make sure to label thermistors as they are
removed. See Fig. 6.
4. Disconnect and label the chilled water flow switch cable
from the chilled water flow switch located on the leaving
water nozzle. See Fig. 6.
5. Disconnect the suction pressure transducer cables from
the transducers. Make sure to label cables as they are
removed. See Fig. 6.
NOTE: The suction pressure transducers (SPT) do not necessarily need to be removed. However, use care in protecting the
SPTs throughout the removal and remote installation processes,
as the SPTs are an important part of the remote installation.
6. Disconnect the electronic expansion valve (EXV) cables
from the EXVs at each economizer. Make sure to label
cables as they are removed. See Fig. 6.
NOTE: The 30XA080 units do not utilize an economizer.
In this case, only the EXVs are present.
7. Unbolt the cooler suction flanges from the cooler. Temporary supports may be needed to support the suction pipes.
See Fig 6.
8. At each circuit’s economizer, cut the liquid lines going to
the economizer assembly before the manual shutoff valve
(see Fig. 6, cut 1, circuits A and B). Cut the cooler liquid
lines between the manual shutoff valve and the cooler
(see Fig. 6, cut 2, circuits A and B). Cut the economizer
lines between the manual shutoff valve and the sensors
(see Fig. 6, cut 3, circuits A and B).
9. Remove the screws from the feet of each economizer.
Save all of the screws. Remove the economizers by carefully sliding them out the cooler side of the unit.
10. Remove the screws from the cooler feet. Save all of the
screws. Slide the cooler slightly to the left to clear the
refrigerant tubing.
11. Remove the cooler by carefully sliding the cooler out the
cooler side of the unit.
Because 30XA systems use polyolester oil, which can absorb moisture, it is important to minimize the amount of
time that the refrigeration system is left exposed to the atmosphere. Minimizing the exposure time will reduce the
amount of moisture that could possibly damage the unit.
The removal instructions minimize the exposure time to
prevent this type of damage. The remote installation instructions outline a dehydration process to counteract any
exposure that might have occurred.
Before installation of the field-supplied piping, the piping
must be thoroughly cleaned and free of dirt, debris, oil, and
welding residue. Presence of these objects will cause severe
damage to the compressors or other components of the refrigeration system.
location by following this procedure:
NOTE: Throughout the Remote Cooler and Economizers
Installation steps, the two accessory package part no.
(00EFN900003000A, 00EFN900003100A) have been shortened to 3000A and 3100A. When a specific part is referred to
in each accessory’s package, the package no. is mentioned followed by the item no. For item no. identification and accessory
package contents, refer to Table 2.
NOTE: The 30XA080 units do not utilize an economizer. In
this case, keep the EXV as close to the cooler as possible.
NOTE: The original flanges on the cooler and cut from the
30XA base unit may still be usable. However, Carrier recommends and has provided in the accessory kit, parts necessary to
replace both the cooler pipe flange and the suction flange.
When the extended piping is installed, these flanges should be
replaced.
Install the cooler and economizers in a remote
1. After removing the cooler from the base unit, strip back
the insulation on the cooler tube sheets (if required) and
use the two large holes in the top corners for lifting.
2. Transport the cooler and economizer assemblies to the
new location and secure them into position. Keep the
economizer assemblies as close to the cooler as possible.
Also, ensure there is sufficient room to install and remove
cooler tubes from either end of the cooler. See Fig. 4A4D for tube removal clearances.
3. Install the accessory-supplied economizer shutoff valves
(3000A or 3100A: Item 1) and liquid line shutoff valves
(3000A or 3100A: Item 2) on the two economizer lines
and liquid lines at circuits A and B on the 30XA base
unit. See Fig. 7.
4. At the new cooler location, connect the field-supplied
cooler liquid line piping between the factory-installed
manual shutoff valve at the two economizer assemblies
and at the cooler. See Fig. 7.
5. Following good piping practices, install additional fieldsupplied liquid and economizer line piping in the required
length to reconnect the two economizer assemblies to the
30XA base unit. See Fig. 8 for double suction riser construction detail.
Do NOT close both manual shutoff valves in one liquid
line. Pressure can build up in the trapped area. To avoid the
possibility of personal injury or property damage, the new
liquid lines between the manual shutoff valves must each
have field-supplied and installed pressure relief valves.
6. For 30XA080-120: all circuits and 30XA140-160: circuit
B, cut the suction pipe (copper) at the 30XA base unit and
discard (see Fig. 6, cut 4, circuit B). Following good
piping practices, install field-supplied copper suction line
piping from the 30XA base unit to the cooler. Use the
accessory-supplied cooler pipe flange (3000A: Item 8),
cooler flange O-ring (3000A: Item 12), and loose pipe
flange (3000A: Item 11) to connect the field-supplied
copper suction line piping at the cooler. See Fig. 9.
7. For 30XA140-160: circuit A and 30XA180-350: all
circuits, unbolt (DO NOT CUT) the portion of the steel
suction pipes that connected the flex connector flanges to
the cooler at the 30XA base unit and discard. See Fig. 10.
Refer to Table 6 for parts required (field-supplied or
accessory-supplied) to make new connections at the
cooler and the 30XA base unit with the field-supplied
steel suction line. See Fig 11. Follow good piping
practices to install field-supplied steel suction line piping
between the cooler and the flex connector at the 30XA
base unit.
When field-supplied flanges and gaskets are used, an
extra M16 mounting hole must be drilled and tapped to
connect a mounting bracket at the 30XA base unit. See
Fig. 10 and 11 for mounting bracket placement. See
Fig. 12 for mounting hole locations.
If additional gaskets are needed for installation, they must
1
be
/16 in. non-asbestos fiber with synthetic rubber binder
compressed gasket sheet. An extra mounting hole also
needs to be field modified for any additional gaskets. See
Fig. 12 for mounting hole locations. Field-supplied
mounting nuts and bolts are also needed for fieldsupplied gaskets.
8. All of the piping connections are now complete. Leak test
the unit and then pull a deep dehydration vacuum. Connect the vacuum pump to the high-flow access fitting at
the bottom of the cooler, the liquid line service valves,
and the economizer line service valves. For best results, it
is recommended that a vacuum of at least 500 microns
(0.5 mm Hg) be obtained. To perform a standing vacuum
rise test, observe the rate-of-rise of the vacuum in the
system. If the vacuum rises by more than 50 microns in a
30-minute time period, then continue the dehydration
process until the standing vacuum requirement is met.
This will ensure a dry system.
By following this dehydration procedure, the amount of
moisture present in the system will be minimized, and the
factory-supplied filter driers will provide adequate
moisture protection. It is highly recommended that the
filter drier cores be replaced after 24 hours of operation.
This is to ensure that any foreign debris that is captured
during start-up is removed from the system. Additional
moisture removal capacity is also provided.
9. After setup is leak tested and deep dehydration vacuum is
completed, install field-supplied suction and economizer
line insulation between the economizer and the unit. If
necessary, reinstall the insulation on the cooler head.
10. To reconnect the EXV cables, use the accessory-supplied
cable assemblies (3000A or 3100A: Item 4). Two cables
are needed for the 30XA080 unit, and four cables are
needed for 30XA090-350 units. Take one cable assembly,
and label both ends with “EXV-A” for the circuit A main
EXV. Then label another three cable assemblies the same
way with “EXV-B”, “ECEXV-A”, “ECEXV-B” for the
circuit B main EXV, circuit A economizer EXV, and
circuit B economizer EXV, respectively (economizer
EXV does not apply to 30XA080 units).
Plug one side of the electrical connectors of the EXV
labeled cables into their corresponding EXV plugs. Run
the cables to the 30XA base unit, and plug the other side
of the cable connectors into their corresponding EXV
leads. Coil excess cables and wire tie in a convenient
location.
11. To reconnect the flow switch cable, use the accessorysupplied cable assembly (3000A or 3100A: Item 4). Take
one cable assembly and label both ends with “CWFS.”
Plug one side of the electrical connector of the labeled
cable into the flow switch plug. Run the cable to the base
unit, and plug the other side of the cable connector into
the flow switch lead. Coil excess cables and wire tie in a
convenient location.
10
12. Using the accessory-supplied M6 screws (3000A or
3100A: Item 6), install the accessory-supplied junction
box (3000A or 3100A: Item 5) at the desired location
where the entering and leaving water thermistor cables
can be conveniently spliced. One or two knockouts can
be used. Follow all local codes. Remove one knockout
from the junction box and install the field-supplied strain
relief at the knockout hole. If using field-supplied conduit
to provide mechanical protection to the thermistor wires
between the cooler and the 30XA base unit, remove
another knockout.
13. To reconnect the thermistors, locate the entering water
thermistor and leaving water thermistor and cut both
leads where they can be spliced in the installed junction
box. Cut, strip, and label both sides of the entering water
thermistor lead “EWT.” Cut, strip, and label the leaving
water thermistor lead the same way, with “LWT” on both
sides. See Fig. 13.
14. Run the labeled thermistor leads connected to the unit
into the installed junction box and tighten the fieldsupplied strain relief. Strip back the lead jackets to expose
the two wires in each lead.
15. Take one of the accessory-supplied 5-wire jacketed cables (3000A or 3100A: Item 3) to connect the thermistor
leads in the installed junction box to the cooler location.
Each wire in the jacketed cable is a different color. Cut
the cable into two pieces so that each has a maximum
length of 100 ft (30.5 m).
16. Select one jacketed cable and strip back the jacket on
both ends to expose the five wires. Pick any two wires
and label both ends of each wire “EWT.” Pick another
pair of wires and label both ends “LWT.” The fifth wire is
not used. See Fig. 14.
17. Run one end of the accessory-supplied 5-wire jacketed
cable into the installed junction box and splice the identically labeled thermistor leads. Solder the splices and insulate them to prevent shorting. Tighten the field-supplied
strain relief for the cables.
18. Run the other end of the accessory-supplied 5-wire
jacketed cables back to the cooler. Splice the labeled
jacketed cable wires to the matching thermistors. If a
second junction box is necessary at the cooler location,
use the second accessory-supplied junction box (3000A
or 3100A: Item 5).
19. Reinstall the thermistors in the correct cooler wells.
20. To reconnect the suction pressure transducers (SPT),
locate the SPT plugs for circuits A and B, and cut the
leads where they can be conveniently spliced in the
installed junction box at the 30XA base unit. Label the
leads “SPTA” for the circuit A lead, and “SPTB” for the
circuit B lead.
21. Take the two pieces of accessory-supplied transducer
wire harness (3000A: Item 16 or 3100A: Item 14). One
side of the harness is a plug and the other side is three
wires in red, black, and green. Label both sides of one
harness “SPTA,” and label the other harness “SPTB.”
Remove one knockout from an installed junction box and
install a field-supplied strain relief valve at the knockout
hole. If using field-supplied conduit to provide mechanical protection to the transducer wires between the cooler
and the 30XA base unit, remove another knockout.
22. Run the labeled transducer leads connected to the unit
into the installed junction box at the 30XA base unit and
tighten the field-supplied strain relief. Strip back the lead
jackets to expose the three wires, black, red, and white.
23. Run the lead end of accessory-supplied transducer wire
harnesses into the junction box and splice the identically
labeled leads. The red wire should go with red wire, the
black wire with the black wire, and the white wire with
the green wire. Solder the splices and insulate them to
prevent shorting. Tighten the field-supplied strain relief
for the cables and secure the accessory-supplied junction
box cover (3000A or 3100A: Item 6) with accessorysupplied M6 screws.
24. Run the plug end of the accessory-supplied transducer
wire harness back to the cooler. Connect the “SPTA” plug
into the circuit A transducer. Connect the “SPTB” plug
into the circuit B transducer. See Fig. 13.
25. Charge the unit to the amount of refrigerant as specified
on the 30XA base unit nameplate. Because of longer
field-installed liquid, economizer, and suction lines, additional charge is needed. Refer to Table 7 to calculate the
additional charge for each circuit and then add it to the
nameplate charge. Additional charge for the economizer
line is NOT required.
26. Perform all pre-start-up and start-up procedures specified
in the unit operation instructions. Follow the checklist
provided with the unit operation instructions.
27. Verify unit operation.
