Installing, starting up, and servicing air-conditioning equip-
ment can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures,
etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics
should install, start up, and service this equipment (Fig. 1).
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions such as cleaning coils. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the 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. Keep quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby
when brazing. Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky
equipment.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Open all remote disconnects before servicing
this equipment.
DO NOT USE TORCH to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure.
To remove a component, wear protective gloves and goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Recover refrigerant to relieve all pressure from sys-
tem using both high-pressure and low pressure ports.
c. Traces of vapor should be displaced with nitrogen
and the work area should be well ventilated. Refrigerant in contact with an open flame produces toxic
gases.
d. Cut component connection tubing with tubing cutter
and remove component from unit. Use a pan to catch
any oil that may come out of the lines and as a gage
for how much oil to add to the system.
e. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when nec-
essary. Oil can ignite when exposed to torch flame.
Failure to follow these procedures may result in personal
injury or death.
DO NOT re-use compressor oil or any oil that has been
exposed to the atmosphere. Dispose of oil per local codes
and regulations. DO NOT leave refrigerant system open to
air any longer than the actual time required to service the
equipment. Seal circuits being serviced and charge with
dry nitrogen to prevent oil contamination when timely
repairs cannot be completed. Failure to follow these procedures may result in damage to equipment.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

These instructions describe installation, start-up, and service of 09DK020-044 air-cooled condensers (Fig. 1). See
Table 1 for general unit physical data.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Complete Pre-Installation Checks —
Examine for damage incurred during shipment. File claim
immediately with transit company if damage is found. Verify
that the nameplate electrical requirements match the available
power supply. Check the shipment for completeness.
Step 2 — Locate and Rig Unit, Remove Shipping Skid
LOCATION — If roof installation is specified, make certain
that roof structure can support the condenser weight. Refer to
Table 1.
Locate condenser where an adequate supply of inlet outdoor
air is available. Do not locate where the possibility of air recirculation exists, such as under a roof overhang.
Locate condenser in an area free from airborne dirt or other
foreign material which could clog condenser coils.
RIGGING — Preferred method is with spreader bars from
above the unit. Use 2-in. (50 mm) OD pipe or hooks in lifting
holes. Rig with 4 cables and spreader bars. All panels must be
in place when rigging. See rigging label on unit for details concerning shipping weights, distance between lifting holes, center of gravity, and spreader bar dimensions. Also see Fig. 2.
If overhead rigging is not possible, place unit on skid or pad
for rolling or dragging. When rolling, use minimum of 3 rollers. When dragging, pull the pad. Do not apply force to theunit. When in final position, raise from above to lift unit off
pad.
All panels must be in place when rigging. Do not forklift
unit if no skid is supplied. If unit has skid, use forklift truck
from sides only.
PLACING UNIT — There must be 4 ft (1.22 m) for service
and for unrestricted airflow on all sides of unit, and a minimum
of 8 ft (2.44 m) clean air space above units. See Fig. 3, 4, and
5. For multiple units, allow 8 ft (2.44 m) separation between
units for airflow and service.
MOUNTING UNIT — When unit is in proper location, use
mounting holes in base rails for securing unit to supporting
structure. Fasteners for mounting unit must be field supplied. If
unit is to be mounted on vibration isolators, drill mounting
holes in bottom of base rail at support points 1-4 (shown in
Fig. 3, 4, and 5) and locate isolators at those points.

GENERAL — All field leak and pressure testing should be in
accordance with local code requirements. If no local code
exists, follow American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Safety Standard 15, latest
revision.
For leak testing procedures, refer to the Carrier Refrigerant
Service Techniques Manual.
COIL CIRCUITING CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS —
See Table 2 for standard unit circuiting and for the circuiting
available by installing the supplied parts kits. Note that for
044 size units, all circuiting must be field installed using field
supplied parts. Field supplied and installed parts are also
required for 100% circuiting of all 020-034 size units.
The following sections describe how to modify the standard
unit circuiting (as shipped from the factory) for optional splits.
NOTE: All coils are purged with dry air and then capped prior
to shipment. The coils DO NOT contain a refrigerant holding

REFRIGERANT LINE SIZING — Sizing depends on length
*Field supplied.
NOTES:
1. Hot gas lines should rise above refrigerant level in condenser
circuit.
2. Trap should be installed on hot gas lines to prevent condenser
oil and refrigerant vapor migration from accumulating on compressor heads during off cycle.
3. Refer to Carrier System Design Manual, part 3 for proper piping sizes and design.
4. For piping lengths greater than 50 ft (15.2 m), provide support
to liquid and gas lines near the connections to the coil.
Fig. 18 — Typical Piping for 09DK Condenser with a Single Compressor
of lines between various sections of the refrigerant system.
Consider the amount of liquid lift and drop in the system as
well as proper compressor oil return. Consult Carrier System
Design Manual, Part 3, for proper piping sizes and design.
LIQUID SHUTOFF VALVE AND SIGHT GLASS — A
shut-off valve is not supplied with 09DK condensers. It is
strongly recommended that a full line size liquid shutoff valve
(see Fig. 18 and 19) be field supplied near condenser to allow
for servicing parts of the refrigerant circuit. A field-supplied
moisture indicating sight glass is recommended for use in
charging and servicing the system. Refer to Fig. 20.
PRESSURE RELIEF — The American National Standards
Institute and American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning Engineers Safety Code for Mechanical
Refrigeration (ANSI/ASHRAE) 15 states the following:
“Every refrigerant system shall be protected by a pressure
relief device unless so constructed that the pressure due to fire
conditions will be safely relieved by some part of the system.”
Since 09DK condensers have no pressure relief device, one
should be field supplied and installed just before the liquid line
service valve. (See Fig. 18 and 19.) When the split coil is used
with multiple systems, each system must have its own pressure
relief.
REFRIGERANT RECEIVER — A refrigerant receiver is not
furnished with 09DK condensers and is not recommended for
normal applications as its use will be detrimental to the desired
effects of subcooling. However, if a particular application
requires a receiver to increase refrigerant holding capacity of
the condenser, a receiver can be used. When a receiver is to be
used all year, it should be installed indoors. Carrier recommends the following installation in such a case (see Fig. 20).
Locate valves on each side of the receiver so receiver may be
isolated from system for normal operation.
16
Procedure for Using the Refrigerant Receiver
*Field supplied.
NOTES:
1. Hot gas lines should rise above refrigerant level in condenser
circuit.
2. Trap should be installed on hot gas lines to prevent condenser
oil and refrigerant vapor migration from accumulating on compressor heads during off cycle.
3. Refer to Carrier System Design Manual, part 3 for proper piping
sizes and design.
4. For piping lengths greater than 50 ft (15.2 m), provide support
to liquid and gas lines near the connections to the coil.
Fig. 19 — Typical Piping for 09DK Condenser with a Dual Split System
During normal operation — Valve A is open and valves B and
C are closed. Receiver is isolated from the system.
For servicing — Valves A and C are closed and valve B is
open. Run unit until all the refrigerant is in the receiver and
then close valve B. Unit is now ready for servicing.
To resume operation — Leave valve A closed and open valves
B and C. Run unit until the stored refrigerant is drawn into the
system. To completely remove the refrigerant from the
receiver, throttle valve B while noting condition of refrigerant
in the liquid line sight glass; also monitor the suction pressure.
A sudden surge of bubbles in the sight glass and a rapid
decrease in suction pressure indicates that all the refrigerant
has been withdrawn from the receiver. Immediately close
valves B and C and then open valve A. The unit should now be
ready for normal operation, with the receiver isolated from the
system. The system should be charged to a clear sight glass
when under normal operation.
COIL CONNECTIONS — See Fig. 3-5, 18, and 19 for the
necessary connections.

Step 4 — Complete Electrical Connections
GENERAL — Verify that nameplate electrical requirements
match available power supply. Voltage at condenser must be
within the minimum and maximum shown in Table 3 and
phases must be balanced within 2%. Contact local power company for line voltage corrections. Never operate a motor where
a phase imbalance in supply voltage is greater than 2%. Use
the following formula to determine the percentage of voltage
imbalance:
% Voltage
Imbalance
= 100 x
Example: Supply voltage is 240-3-60.
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 243 – 239 = 4 volts
(BC) 239 – 236 = 3 volts
(AC) 239 – 238 = 1 volt
Maximum deviation is then 4 volts. To determine the percentage of voltage imbalance:
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory since it is
below the maximum allowable of 2%.
IMPORTANT: If supply voltage phase imbalance is
more than 2%, contact your local electric utility
company immediately.
Condenser operation on improper line voltage or excessive
phase imbalance may be considered abuse and any resulting
damage may not be covered by Carrier warranty.
All wiring must be in accordance with NEC (National Electrical Code, U.S.A.) regulations or local codes.
CONNECTIONS — Refer to Table 3 and Fig. 21.
Install a field-supplied disconnect capable of being locked
at OFF position.
POWER WIRING — Install field-supplied branch circuit
fused disconnect(s) of a type that can be locked OFF or OPEN.
Disconnect(s) must be within sight from and readily accessible
from unit in compliance with NEC Article 440-14 (U.S.A.) or
local code.

Fan Adjustment
1. Make certain condenser power is off.
2. Remove fan guard.
3. Remove cap and setscrews on fan hub.
4. Adjust fan. See Fig. 22.
5. Tighten fan hub securely on motor shaft with setscrew
which bears against the key.
6. Replace permagum and rubber cap over end of motor
shaft to prevent moisture from causing fan to rust on
shaft.
Lubrication — Fan motors have permanently lubricated
bearings. No provisions are made for lubrication.
Cleaning Standard Coils — Clean standard coils with
stiff brush, vacuum cleaner, or compressed air. Low-pressure
water may be used to clean coils by removing fan guard and
spraying coil from inside. Condenser fan motors are drip-proofbut not waterproof. Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to minimize contamination build-up and remove harmful
residue. Inspect coils monthly and clean as required.
Cleaning and Maintaining E-Coated Coils —
Routine cleaning of condenser coil surfaces is essential to
maintain proper operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and removal of harmful residue will greatly increase the
life of the coil and extend the life of the unit. The following
maintenance and cleaning procedures are recommended as
part of the routine maintenance activities to extend the life of
the coil.
REMOVE SURFACE LOADED FIBERS — Debris such as
dirt and fibers on the surface of the coil should be removed
with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a
soft brush may be used. The cleaning tool should be applied in
the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged
(fin edges bent over) if the tool is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose,
against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt
into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more difficult.
Surface debris must be completely removed prior to using
low velocity clean water rinse.
PERIODIC CLEAN WATER RINSE — A periodic clean
water rinse is very beneficial for coils that are applied in
coastal or industrial environments. However, it is very important that the water rinse is made with very low velocity water
stream to avoid damaging the fin edges. Monthly cleaning is
recommended.
ROUTINE CLEANING OF E-COATED COIL SURFACES — Monthly cleaning with E-Coat Enzyme Coil
Cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. It is recommended that all coils including standard aluminum, pre-coated,
copper/copper, or E-coated coils be cleaned with the E-Coat
Enzyme Coil Cleaner as described below. Coil cleaning should
be part of the regularly scheduled maintenance procedures of
the unit to ensure long life of the coil. Failure to clean the coils
may result in reduced durability in the environment.
E-Coat Enzyme Coil Cleaner is non-bacterial, biodegradable, and will not harm the coil or surrounding components
such as electrical wiring, painted metal surfaces, or insulation.
Use of non-recommended coil cleaners is strongly discouraged
since coil and unit durability could be affected.
The following field-supplied equipment is required for coil
cleaning:
1
•2
/2 gallon garden sprayer
•water rinse with low velocity spray nozzle
21
E-COAT ENZYME CLEANER APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS — Perform the following procedure to
clean the coil.
NOTE: Wear proper eye protection such as safety glasses
during mixing and application.
1. Remove all surface debris and dirt from the coil with a
vacuum cleaner.
2. Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and a
low velocity garden hose, being careful not to bend
fins.
3. Mix E-Coat Enzyme Cleaner in a 2
1
/2 gallon garden
sprayer according to the instructions included with the
Enzyme Cleaner. The optimum solution temperature is
100 F.
DO NOT USE water in excess of 130 F. Enzymes in coil
cleaner will be destroyed and coil cleaner will not be
effective.
4. Thoroughly apply E-Coat Enzyme Cleaner solution to
all coil surfaces including finned area, tube sheets and
coil headers. Hold garden sprayer nozzle close to
finned areas and apply cleaner with a vertical, up-anddown motion. Avoid spraying in horizontal pattern to
minimize potential for fin damage. Ensure cleaner
thoroughly penetrates deep into finned areas. Interior
and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly cleaned.
5. Allow finned surfaces to remain wet with cleaning
solution for 10 minutes. Ensure surfaces are not
allowed to dry before rinsing. Reapply cleaner as
needed to ensure 10-minute saturation is achieved.
6. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces with low velocity clean
water using downward rinsing motion of water spray
nozzle. Protect fins from damage from the spray
nozzle
.
Do not use bleach, harsh chemicals, or acid cleaners on
outdoor or indoor coils of any kind. These types of cleaners
are difficult to rinse, and they promote rapid corrosion of
the fin collar-copper tube connection. Only use the E-Coat
Enzyme Coil Cleaner.
Never use high pressure air or liquids to clean coils.
High pressures damage coils and increase the airside pressure drop. To promote unit integrity, follow cleaning and
maintenance procedures in this document.
Fan Motor Removal
1. Make certain condenser power is off.
2. Remove fan guard and fan.
3. Loosen nut on motor holding clamp securing motor to
motor support.
4. Lift motor upward. Remove wire connectors.
Head Pressure Control — This feature reduces con-
densing capacity under low ambient temperature conditions.
FAN CYCLING — Model 09DK units have accessory provi-
sion for fully automatic intermediate-season head pressure
control through condenser fan cycling. Fan number 2 and 3
cycling (fan number 3 on 09DK034 and 044 only) is controlled by outdoor-air temperature through air temperature
switches (ATS) 1 and 2.
The air temperature switches are located in the lower divider panel underneath the coil header. The sensing element is exposed to air entering the no. 1 fan compartment through a hole
in the panel. Fan no. 1 is non-cycling. Table 5 shows operating
settings of the air temperature switches.
