The 38YCB 50 Hertz Outdoor
Sections of Split-System Heat Pumps
are designed for quiet, reliable heating
during the winter and cooling during
the summer. With a SEER up to 10.0
and COP up to 3.0, these heat pump
systems provide economy of
operation through energy
conservation when used with
components designated by
manufacturer. They recover heat for
indoor comfort from outdoor air
during the heating season and, by
automatically reversing the
refrigerant system, remove indoor
heat and excess humidity during the
cooling season.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
Electrical Range — Units are offered
in single phase 220–240v. Threephase units are available in sizes 036,
048, and 060 in 400v.
Size Range — The 38YCB is
available in nominal sizes 024, 036,
048 and 060 to meet the needs of
residential and light commercial
applications.
Compressor — Designed
specifically for heat pump duty, with
energy efficiency during heating and
cooling operation. Each compressor is
hermetically sealed against
contamination to assure long life and
dependable performance, internally
sprung (units with reciprocating
compressor) and externally mounted
on rubber isolators for quiet operation.
Continuous compressor operation is
approved down to –30
in the heating mode, and down to
F (12.8°C) in the cooling mode.

Built-in-Reliability
Components
— Includes a suctiontube accumulator that reduces the
amount of liquid refrigerant that
reaches the compressor; low-pressure
switch to stop the compressor if
refrigerant charge is lost; crankcase
heater on units with reciprocating
compressor and all 3-phase units to
keep compressor oil warm and free of
refrigerant for maximum lubricity;
internal compressor relief valve for
high-pressure protection.
Discharge Silencer — Minimizes low
frequency sound and pressure
pulsation generated by compressor
discharge gas.
Defrost Control Board —
Incorporates a defrost relay, defrost
timer, and low-voltage terminations.
The defrost control is a time and
temperature initiation/termination
control which includes 3 fieldselectable time periods of 30, 50, and
90 minutes. The control includes builtin 5-minute compressor delay for units
equipped with scroll compressors (see
Compressor data table).
Weather-Protective Cabinet — Steel
is protected with a heavy coating
commonly called “galvanizing,” and
treated with a layer of zinc phosphate.
A coat of modified polyester powder
coating is then applied and baked-on,
providing each unit with a hard,
smooth finish that will last for many
years.
All screws on cabinet exterior are
coated for a long-lasting rust-resistant,
quality appearance.
Unit Design — All units are equipped
with totally enclosed fan motors for
greater reliability under rain and snow
conditions. The large, wraparound coil
uses copper tube and enhanced
aluminum fin and is designed for
optimum heat transfer during heating
and cooling. The vertical air discharge
carries the sound and air up and away
from adjacent patio areas and foliage.
Coils can be cleaned with a common
garden hose.
External Service Valves — Both
service valves are brass, front seating
type. Valves are externally located
so refrigerant tube connections can
be made quickly and easily. Each
valve has a service port for ease of
checking operating refrigerant
pressures. The 38YCB has sweat
field connections.
Safety — All units are designed and
manufactured in accordance with
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L. 1995)
standard for safety, heating and
cooling equipment.
Start capacitor and start relay gives “hard” boost to compressor motor at each start-up.
SUGGESTED USE: Installations where interconnecting tube length exceeds 50 ft (15.24m).
2. Evaporator Freeze Thermostat
A SPST temperature actuated switch which stops unit operation when evaporator reaches freeze-up conditions.
SUGGESTED USE: All units where low-ambient controller has been added.
3. Filter Drier—Bi-flow
A device for removing contaminants from refrigerant circulating in an air conditioner or heat pump system; bi-flow for heat pumps.
SUGGESTED USE: All field-connected split-system units.
4. High-Pressure Switch
Auto reset SPST switch activated by refrigerant pressure on high side of refrigerant circuit. Cycles compressor off if refrigerant pressure rises to about 425 psig.
Provides additional protection against compressor damage due to loss of outdoor airflow.
SUGGESTED USE: Installations exposed to very “dirty” outdoor air.
5. Interface Control (Optimizer II)
An electric control for controlling a heat pump and gas or oil furnace system for maximum energy savings. It allows heat pump to operate down to a predetermined economic balance point temperature, then switches to allow furnace operation only below that temperature. Requires outdoor thermostat to be adjusted
for economic balance point temperature.
SUGGESTED USE: All heat pump and gas- or oil-fired furnace combination systems.
6. Isolation Relay
A SPDT relay which switches the low-ambient controller out of the outdoor fan motor circuit when the heat pump switches to heating mode.
SUGGESTED USE: All heat pumps where low-ambient controller has been added.
7. Liquid Solenoid Valve (LSV)
An electrically operated shutoff valve to be installed at the outdoor unit and which stops and starts refrigerant liquid flow in response to compressor operation.
Maintains a column of refrigerant liquid ready for action at next compressor operation cycle.
Note: Compressor start assist–capacitor/relay type (Item 1) must be used on single-phase reciprocating compressors.
SUGGESTED USE: In certain long-line applications. (Refer to Long-Line Application Guideline.)
8. Outdoor Thermostat
A SPDT temperature actuated switch which turns on supplemental electric heaters when outdoor air temperature drops below set point.
SUGGESTED USE: Heat pump installations with multiple-stage supplemental heaters
9. Secondary Outdoor Thermostat
A SPDT temperature actuated switch which turns on a third stage of supplemental electric heaters when outdoor air temperature drops below the second-stage
set point.
SUGGESTED USE: Heat pump installations where 3-stage operation of supplemental heaters is desired.
10. Sound Blanket
Wraparound sound attenuation cover for the compressor. Reduces the sound level by about 2 dBA.
SUGGESTED USE: Unit installed closer than 15 ft (4.55m) to quiet areas—bedrooms, etc.
11. Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
A modulating flow-control valve which meters refrigerant liquid flow rate into the evaporator in response to the superheat of the refrigerant gas leaving the
evaporator. Kit includes valve, adapter tubes, and external equalizer tube. Both hard shutoff and RPB valves are available.
SUGGESTED USE: For improved system performance in cooling mode.
12. Time-Delay Relay
A SPST delay relay which briefly continues operation of the indoor blower motor to provide additional cooling after the compressor cycles off.
SUGGESTED USE: For improved efficiency ratings for certain combinations of indoor and outdoor units. (Refer to ARI Unitary Directory.)
Installations where outdoor design temperature exceeds 105 ° F (40.6 ° C).
Replacement installations with hard shutoff expansion valve or liquid line solenoid on indoor coil.
Units installed with low-ambient controller.
Installations where condenser inlet air temperature exceeds 125 ° F (51.7 ° C).
Unit installed between 2 houses less than 10 ft (3.04m) apart.
