SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).

Only trained, quali®ed installers and service mechanics should install, start up, and service this equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions, 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 and any other safety precautions that may apply.

·Follow all safety codes.

·Wear safety glasses and work gloves.

·Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky equipment.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD.

Open all remote disconnects before servicing this equipment.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 Ð Rig and Place Unit Ð All units are designed for overhead rigging, and it is important that this method be used. Lifting holes are provided in the frame base rails, which are marked for rigging (see rigging label on the unit and Tables 1, 2A, and 2B for rigging weights and center of gravity). It is recommended that ®eld-supplied pipes, of suf®cient length to extend at least 12-in. (305 mm) beyond the frame, be passed through the holes.

To maintain unit stability while lifting, use 4 cables, chains, or straps of equal length. Attach one end of each cable to one pipe end and the other end of each cable to the overhead rigging point.

Use spreader bars or frame to keep the cables, chains, and straps clear of the unit sides. Leave standard coil protection packaging in place during rigging to provide protection to coils. Remove and discard all coil protection after rigging cables are detached.

DOMESTIC UNITS Ð For units 38AH044-084, 124, and 134; standard unit packaging consists of coil protection only. There is no standard packaging provided for units 38AH094 and 104. Skids are not provided. If overhead rigging is not available at the jobsite, place the unit on a skid or pad before dragging or rolling. When rolling, use a minimum of 3 rollers. When dragging, pull the pad or skid. Do not apply force to the unit. When in ®nal position, raise from above to lift unit off the pad or skid.

EXPORT UNITS Ð All export units are mounted on skids with vertical coil protection. Leave the unit on the skid until it is in ®nal position. While on the skid, the unit can be rolled or skidded. Apply force to the skid, not to the unit. Use a minimum of 3 rollers when rolling. When in ®nal position, raise from above to remove the skid.

PLACING UNITS

Units 38AH044-084 Ð Refer to Fig. 1 and 2 for air¯ow clearances. Recommended minimum clearances are 6 ft (1829 mm) for unrestricted air¯ow and service on sides of unit, 5 ft (1524 mm) on ends, and unrestricted clear air space above the unit. Provide ample space to connect liquid and suction lines to indoor unit. For multiple units, allow 8 ft (2440 mm) separation between units for air¯ow and service.

Do not forklift these units unless the unit is attached to a skid designed for forklifting.

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, speci®cations or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

The placement area must be level and strong enough to support the operating weight of the unit (see Table 3A or 3B). When unit is in proper location, use of mounting holes in base rails is recommended for securing unit to supporting structure. For mounting unit on vibration isolators, a perimeter support channel between the unit and the isolators is recommended. Fasteners for mounting unit are ®eld supplied. Be sure to mount unit level to ensure proper oil return to compressors.

Units 38AH094-134 Ð Refer to Fig. 3-6 for air¯ow clearances. Recommended minimum clearances are 6 ft (1829 mm) for unrestricted air¯ow and service on sides of unit, 5 ft (1524 mm) on ends, and unrestricted clear air space above unit. Provide ample space to connect liquid and suction lines to indoor unit. For multiple units, allow 8 ft (2440 mm) separation between units for air¯ow and service.

Do not forklift these units unless the unit is attached to a skid designed for forklifting.

The placement area must be level and strong enough to support the operating weight of the unit. See Table 4A or 4B. Refer to the following paragraphs for the proper placement of the unit.

Units 38AH094,104 Ð For mounting units on vibration isolators, a perimeter support channel is required between the unit and the support isolators. The perimeter support channel must be sized to support the fully assembled unit. Do not

support units on individual isolation supports. Support channel, hardware, and fasteners are ®eld supplied. When unit is in proper location, level unit and bolt into position with ®eldsupplied bolts.

Units 38AH124,134 Ð For ease of shipment and handling, unit 38AH124 is shipped as 2 modules (124A and 124B) and unit 38AH134 is shipped as 2 modules (134A and 134B). The modules must be connected at the ®nal installation site with the factory-shipped piping and sheet metal trim kit mounted on Module 124A or 134A. See Fig. 7.

Do not move assembled 38AH124 or 134 units as a single assembly. Always move modules individually during installation or at any other time.

Mark installation site for placement of Modules 124A and 124B or Modules 134A and 134B. See Table 4A or 4B for ®nal assembled dimensions. A service space of 24 in. (610 mm) is required between the 2 modules for piping and sheet metal trim installation.

Place Module 124A or 134A in position, ensuring that the control box is at the end opposite the service space. See Fig. 8.

Remove sheet metal and tubing from Module 124A or 134A sheet metal trim kit (Fig. 7). Remove sheet metal cover panels from return-bend end of unit facing the service space. See Fig. 8. These panels may be discarded or saved for reinstallation if module is moved from site. See Fig. 9.

Step 3 Ð Make Refrigerant Piping

Connections

The ®eld-supplied liquid line solenoid valve must be installed at the evaporator to avoid possible compressor damage during unit operation. See Fig. 11 (for 38AH044084 dual-circuit and 38AH094-134 units), or Fig. 12 (for 38AH044-084 optional single-circuit units).

The units have large suction lines to minimize friction losses. The units also have the ability to operate at low capacity. Because of these capabilities, use special care with suction piping and suction risers to ensure proper compressor oil return under all operating conditions. Maximum allowable vertical separation between the condensing unit and the evaporator is shown in Table 5. Size suction lines in accordance with Tables 6A or 6B through 9A or 9B and Fig. 13. Mount liquid line solenoid valve just ahead of the TXVs (thermostatic expansion valves) which will be mounted at the evaporator. See Fig. 11 (for 38AH044-084 dual-circuit and 38AH094-134 units) or Fig. 12 (for 38AH044-084 optional single-circuit units).

To achieve good mixing of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator suction header for proper sensing by the TXV bulb:

1.Install a minimum of two 90-degree elbows upstream of the TXV bulb location. See Fig. 14 (for 38AH044-084 dual-circuit and 38AH094-134 units) or Fig. 15 (for 38AH044-084 optional single-circuit units).

2.Locate the TXV bulb on a vertical riser, where possible. If a horizontal location is necessary, secure the bulb at approximately the 4 o'clock position.

3.Size the suction line from the evaporator to the common suction line to achieve high refrigerant velocity. See Tables 6A or 6B through 9A or 9B and Fig. 13.

If an oil return connection at the bottom of the suction header is supplied with an evaporator, tee-in this connection ahead of ®rst mixing elbow. See Fig. 14 (for 38AH044-084 dual-circuit and 38AH094-134 units) or Fig. 15 (for 38AH044084 optional single-circuit units). When the compressor is below the evaporator, the riser at the evaporator should extend to the top of the evaporator section. After the riser is installed, the suction line can elbow down immediately.

Install a ®eld-supplied ®lter drier and sight glasses in each refrigerant system. Select the ®lter drier for maximum unit capacity and minimum pressure drop. Figure 11 (for 38AH044084 dual-circuit and 38AH094-134 units) or Fig. 12 (for

38AH044-084 optional single-circuit units) shows required location of solenoid valves and recommended locations for the ®lter driers and sight glasses. Complete the refrigerant piping from the evaporator to the condenser before opening the liquid and suction lines at the condenser.

UNITS 38AH044-084 Ð Relieve the pressure caused by the holding charge into a refrigerant recovery system. Uncap the suction line and cut the run-around tube at the liquid line as close to the loop elbow as possible. This will leave approximately 2 in. (50 mm) of straight tube for liquid line connection.

IMPORTANT: Protect the liquid valves from the heat of brazing.

Leak test the entire system by using soap bubbles and nitrogen or R-22 with an electronic leak detector.

Purge nitrogen or reclaim R-22 from system after completion of leak-checking procedure. Repair leak if one is found. When ®nished, evacuate and dehydrate system using the methods described in Carrier GTAC II (General Training Air Conditioning II), Module 4, System Dehydration.

UNITS 38AH094-134 Ð Relieve the R-22 holding charge of each circuit into a refrigerant recovery system. Remove the liquid line to factory-installed suction line loop by cutting the loop at the liquid valve. (See Fig. 9A and 9B.) Cut as close to the 90-degree bend in the loop as possible. The remaining tube piece in the valve will be used for brazing the liquid line. Unbraze and remove the cap from the liquid line. For 38AH094 and 104 units, sweat-connect the liquid and suction lines from the evaporator. For 38AH124 and 134 units, see Piping Kit Connections on page 21.

*Double suction riser required on units with ®eld installed unloader on circuit B compressor if condensing unit is elevated above evaporator.

²Double suction riser required on units with ®eld installed unloader on circuit B compressor if condensing unit is elevated above evaporator.

**Double suction riser required on all unit con®gurations if condensing unit is elevated above evaporator.

NOTES:

1.Addition of 2 unloaders to circuit B compressor is not recommended.

2.38AH094 and 38AH104 piping sizes apply only to factory supplied unit con®gurations. They do NOT take into account any ®eld installed unloaders.

3.Piping sizes are based on unit operation above 40 F (4.4 C) saturated suction temperature (SST). When operating below 40 F (4.4 C), refer to Carrier System Design Manual, E20-IIT piping design program, or ASHRAE Handbook to select proper line sizes.

4.Pipe sizes are based on the total linear length shown for each column, plus a 50% allowance for ®ttings.

5.Suction and liquid line sizing is based on pressure drop equivalent to 2 F (1.1 C) at nominal rating conditions. Higher pressure drop design criteria may allow selection of smaller pipe sizes, but at a penalty of decreased system capacity and ef®ciency.

6.Double suction risers may be required if condensing unit is elevated above the evaporator. See footnotes and double suction riser table below.

*Double suction riser required on units with ®eld installed unloader on circuit B compressor if condensing unit is elevated above evaporator.

²Double suction riser required on units with ®eld installed unloader on circuit B compressor if condensing unit is elevated above evaporator.

**Double suction riser required on all unit con®gurations if condensing unit is elevated above evaporator.

NOTES:

1.Addition of 2 unloaders to circuit B compressor is not recommended.

2.38AH094 and 38AH104 piping sizes apply only to factory supplied unit con®gurations. They do NOT take into account any ®eld installed unloaders.

3.Piping sizes are based on unit operation above 40 F (4.4 C) saturated suction temperature (SST). When operating below 40 F (4.4 C), refer to Carrier System Design Manual, E20-IIT piping design program, or ASHRAE Handbook to select proper line sizes.

4.Pipe sizes are based on the total linear length shown for each column, plus a 50% allowance for ®ttings.

5.Suction and liquid line sizing is based on pressure drop equivalent to 2 F (1.1 C) at nominal rating conditions. Higher pressure drop design criteria may allow selection of smaller pipe sizes, but at a penalty of decreased system capacity and ef®ciency.

6.Double suction risers may be required if condensing unit is elevated above the evaporator. See footnotes and double suction riser table below.
