GENERAL
This Installation and Start-Up Instructions literature is for
Aquazone™ water source heat pump systems.
Water source heat pumps (WSHPs) are single-package vertically mounted units with electronic controls designed for
year-round cooling and heating.
IMPORTANT: The installation of water source heat pump
units and all associated components, parts, and accessories
which make up the installation shall be in accordance with
the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction and
MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to determine and comply
with ALL applicable codes and regulations.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Jobsite —
maintenance instructions are provided with each unit. Before
unit start-up, read all manuals and become familiar with the
unit and its operation. Thoroughly check out the system before
operation. Complete the inspections and instructions listed
below to prepare a unit for installation. See Table 1 for unit
physical data.
Vertical units are designed for indoor installation only and
are typically installed in a floor-level closet or a small mechanical room. Refer to Fig. 1 for an example of a typical vertical
installation. See Fig. 2 and 3 for overall unit dimensions.
Installation, operation and
Step 2 — Check Unit — Upon receipt of shipment at
the jobsite, carefully check the shipment against the bill of
lading. Make sure all units have been received. Inspect the carton or crating of each unit, and inspect each unit for damage.
Ensure the shipping company makes proper notation of any
shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill. Concealed
damage not discovered during unloading must be reported to
the shipping company within 15 days of receipt of shipment.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all
necessary claims with the shipping company.
1. Verify unit is correct model for entering water temperature of job.
2. Be sure that the location chosen for unit installation provides ambient temperatures maintained above freezing.
Well water applications are especially susceptible to
freezing.
3. Be sure the installation location is isolated from sleeping
areas, private offices and other acoustically sensitive
spaces.
NOTE: A sound control accessory package may be used
to help eliminate sound in sensitive spaces.
4. Check local codes to be sure a secondary drain pan is not
required under the unit.
5. Be sure unit is mounted at a height sufficient to provide
an adequate slope of the condensate lines. If an appropriate slope cannot be achieved, a field-supplied condensate
pump may be required.
6. Provide sufficient space for duct connection.
7. Provide adequate clearance for filter replacement and
drain pan cleaning. Do not allow piping, conduit, etc. to
block filter access.
8. Provide sufficient access to allow maintenance and
servicing of the fan and fan motor, compressor and coils.
Removal of the entire unit from the closet should not be
necessary.
9. Provide an unobstructed path to the unit within the closet
or mechanical room. Space should be sufficient to allow
removal of unit if necessary.
10. Provide ready access to water valves and fittings, and
screwdriver access to unit side panels, discharge collar,
and all electrical connections.
11. Where access to side panels is limited, pre-removal of the
control box side mounting screws may be necessary for
future servicing.
STORAGE — If the equipment is not needed for immediate
installation upon its arrival at the jobsite, it should be left in its
shipping carton and stored in a clean, dry area of the building
or in a warehouse. Units must be stored in an upright position
at all times. If carton stacking is necessary, stack units a maximum of 3 high. Do not remove any equipment from its shipping package until it is needed for installation.
CAUTION
To avoid equipment damage, do not use these units as a
source of heating or cooling during the construction
process. The mechanical components and filters used in
these units quickly becomes clogged with construction
dirt and debris which may cause system damage.

the jobsite, they must be covered with either a shipping carton,
vinyl film, or an equivalent protective covering. Open ends of
pipes stored on the jobsite must be capped. This precaution is
especially important in areas where painting, plastering, or
spraying of fireproof material, etc. is not yet complete. Foreign
material that is allowed to accumulate within the units can prevent proper start-up and necessitate costly clean-up operations.
Before installing any of the system components, be sure to
examine each pipe, fitting, and valve, and remove any dirt or
foreign material found in or on these components.
CAUTION
DO NOT store or install units in corrosive environments or
in locations subject to temperature or humidity extremes
(e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions
and high temperature or humidity can significantly reduce
performance, reliability, and service life. Always move
units in an upright position. Tilting units on their sides may
cause equipment damage.
INSPECT UNIT — To prepare the unit for installation, complete the procedures listed below:
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
ordering and shipping information to verify that the
correct unit has been shipped.
2. Do not remove the packaging until the unit is ready for
installation.
3. Verify that the unit’s refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or
dents, and that it does not touch other unit components.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Be sure connections are
clean and tight at their terminations.
5. Loosen compressor bolts until the compressor rides freely
on springs. Remove shipping restraints.
6. Remove the four
pressor support plate (two bolts on each side) to maximize vibration and sound alternation.

Step 5 — Check Duct System — The duct system
should be sized to handle the design airflow quietly.
NOTE: Depending on the unit, the fan wheel may have a shipping support installed at the factory. This must be removed
before operating unit.
SOUND ATTENUATION — To eliminate the transfer of
vibration to the duct system, a flexible connector is recommended for both discharge and return air duct connections on
metal duct systems. The supply and return plenums should include internal duct liner of fiberglass or be made of duct board
construction to maximize sound attenuation of the blower.
Installing the WSHP unit to uninsulated ductwork in an unconditioned space is not recommended since it will sweat and
adversely affect the unit’s performance.
To reduce air noise, at least one 90-degree elbow could be
included in the supply and return air ducts, provided system
performance is not adversely impacted. The blower speed can
be also changed in the field to reduce air noise or excessive airflow, provided system performance is not adversely impacted.
EXISTING DUCT SYSTEM — If the unit is connected to
existing ductwork, consider the following:
• Verify that the existing ducts have the proper capacity to
handle the unit airflow. If the ductwork is too small,
larger ductwork should be installed.
• Check existing ductwork for leaks and repair as
necessary.
NOTE: Local codes may require ventilation air to enter the
space for proper indoor air quality. Hard-duct ventilation may
be required for the ventilating air supply. If hard ducted ventilation is not required, be sure that a proper air path is provided
for ventilation air to unit to meet ventilation requirement of the
space.
Step 6 — Install Condensate Drain — The con-
densate drain can be connected to either side of the unit. The
50VQP units come with a flex hose and 1 in. (25 m) FPT condensate connection tied inside. To install the condensate drain
(see Fig. 24.):
1. Untie the flex hose and make interal trap on either the left
side or right side of the unit.
2. Internally attach mounting plate with FPT fitting.
9
Each unit must be installed with its own individual trap,
NOTE: Trap should be deep enough to offset maximum unit static
difference.

vent and means to flush or blow out the condensate drain line.
Do not install units with a common trap or vent. See Fig. 25.
Consider the following:
• Units are typically installed directly above each other on
successive floors with condensate drains located near the
units.
• Connect the unit condensate drain connection to the
building condensate drain with a 1-in. (25 mm) drain
line.
• The horizontal run of a condensate hose is usually too
short to cause drainage problems, however the horizontal
run pitch of the condensate line should be at least 1 cm
for every 50 cm of run in the direction of flow. Avoid low
points and unpitched piping since dirt collects in low or
level areas and may cause stoppage and overflow.
• Install a condensate trap at each unit with the top of
the trap positioned below the unit condensate drain
connection.
• Design the length of the trap (water-seal) based upon the
amount of positive or negative pressure on the drain pan.
As a rule, 25 mm of trap is required for each 10 Pa of
negative pressure on the unit.
VENTING — A vent should be installed in the condensate
line of any application which may allow dirt or air to collect in
the line. Consider the following:
• Always install a vent where an application requires a
long horizontal run.
• Always install a vent where large units are working
against higher external static pressure and to allow
proper drainage for multiple units connected to the same
condensate main.
• Be sure to support the line where anticipated sagging
from the condensate or when “double trapping” may
occur.
• If condensate pump is present on unit, be sure drain connections have a check valve to prevent back flow of condensate into other units.
Step 7 — Pipe Connections — Depending on the
application, there are 3 types of WSHP piping systems to choose
from: water loop, ground-water and ground loop. Refer to the
Carrier System Design Manual for additional information.
All WSHP units utilize low temperature soldered female
pipe thread fittings for water connections to prevent annealing
and out-of-round leak problems which are typically associated
with high temperature brazed connections. Refer to Table 1 for
connection sizes. When making piping connections, consider
the following:
• A backup wrench must be used when making screw connections to unit to prevent internal damage to piping.
• Insulation may be required on piping to avoid condensation in the case where fluid in loop piping operates at
temperatures below dew point of adjacent air.
• Piping systems that contain steel pipes or fittings may
be subject to galvanic corrosion. Dielectric fittings may
be used to isolate the steel parts of the system to avoid
galvanic corrosion.
WATER LOOP APPLICATIONS — Water loop applications
usually include a number of units plumbed to a common piping system. Maintenance to any of these units can introduce air
into the piping system. Therefore, air elimination equipment
comprises a major portion of the mechanical room plumbing.
The flow rate is usually set between 2.41 and 3.23 L/m per
kW of cooling capacity. For proper maintenance and servicing,
pressure-temperature (P/T) ports are necessary for temperature
and flow verification.
In addition to complying with any applicable codes, consid-
er the following for system piping:
• Piping systems utilizing water temperatures below
10.0 C require 13 mm closed cell insulation on all piping
surfaces to eliminate condensation.
• All plastic to metal threaded fittings should be avoided
due to the potential to leak. Use a flange fitted substitute.
• Teflon tape thread sealant is recommended to minimize
internal fouling of the heat exchanger.
• Use backup wrench. Do not overtighten connections.
• Route piping to avoid service access areas to unit.
• The piping system should be flushed prior to operation to
remove dirt and foreign materials from the system.
GROUND-LOOP APPLICATIONS — Temperatures between –3.9 and 43.3 C and a cooling capacity of 2.41 to
3.23 L/s per kW are recommended. In addition to comply-
ing with any applicable codes, consider the following for
system piping:
• Piping materials should be limited to only polyethylene
fusion in the buried sections of the loop.
• Galvanized or steel fittings should not be used at any
time due to corrosion.
• All plastic to metal threaded fittings should be avoided
due to the potential to leak. Use a flange fitted substitute.
• Do not overtighten connections.
• Route piping to avoid service access areas to unit.
• Pressure-temperature (P/T) plugs should be used to measure flow of pressure drop.
GROUND-WATER APPLICATIONS — Typical groundwater piping is shown in Fig. 26. In addition to complying
with any applicable codes, consider the following for system piping:
• Install shut-off valves for servicing.
• Install pressure-temperature plugs to measure flow and
temperature.
10
• Boiler drains and other valves should be connected using
a “T” connector to allow acid flushing for the heat
exchanger.
• Do not overtighten connections.
• Route piping to avoid service access areas to unit.
• Use PVC SCH80 or copper piping material.
NOTE: PVC SCH40 should not be used due to system high
pressure and temperature extremes.
Water Supply and Quantity
supply should be plentiful and of good quality. See Table 2 for
water quality guidelines.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the above required
water quality and quantity limitations and the closedsystem application design requirements may cause damage
to the tube-in-tube heat exchanger that is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
In all applications, the quality of the water circulated
through the heat exchanger must fall within the ranges listed in
the Water Quality Guidelines table. Consult a local water treatment firm, independent testing facility, or local water authority
for specific recommendations to maintain water quality within
the published limits.

Step 8 — Field Power Supply Wiring
WARNING
To avoid possible injury or death due to electrical shock,
open the power supply disconnect switch and secure it in
an open position during installation.
CAUTION
Use only copper conductors for field-installed electrical
wiring. Unit terminals are not designed to accept other
types of conductors.
All field-installed wiring, including the electrical ground,
MUST comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as
well as applicable local codes. In addition, all field wiring must
conform to the Class II temperature limitations described in the
NEC.
Refer to unit wiring diagrams Fig. 27-30 for a schematic of
the field connections which must be made by the installing (or
electrical) contractor. See Tables 3 and 4 for fuses sizes.
Consult the unit wiring diagram located on the inside of the
compressor access panel to ensure proper electrical hookup.
The installing (or electrical) contractor must make the field
connections when using field-supplied disconnect.
Operating voltage must be the same voltage and phase as
shown in electrical data shown in Tables 3 and 4.
Make all final electrical connections with a length of flexi-
ble conduit to minimize vibration and sound transmission to
the building.
POWER CONNECTION — Line voltage connection is
made by connecting the incoming line voltage wires to the
L side of the CC terminal. See Tables 3 and 4 for correct
wire and maximum overcurrent protection sizing.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE — Operating voltage to unit must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate.
On 3-phase units, voltages under load between phases must
be balanced within 2%. Use the following formula to determine the percentage voltage imbalance:
% Voltage Imbalance
= 100 x
Example: Supply voltage is 420-3-50.
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 425 – 421 = 4 v
(BC) 422 – 421 = 1 v
(AC) 421 – 418 = 3 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
Determine percent voltage imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
below the maximum allowable 2%.
imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to electrical components.
NOTE: If more than 2% voltage imbalance is present, contact
local electric utility.
420-VOLT OPERATION — All 380/420 volt units are factory
wired for 380 volts. The transformers may be switched to
420-volt operation (as illustrated on the wiring diagram) by
disconnecting the VIO lead at L1 and attaching the BRN lead
to L1. Close open end of VIO lead.

Sulfides in the water quickly oxidize when exposed to air, requiring that no agitation occur as the sample is taken. Unless tested immediately at the site, the
sample will require stabilization with a few drops of one Molar zinc acetate
solution, allowing accurate sulfide determination up to 24 hours after sampling. A low pH and high alkalinity cause system problems, even when both
values are within ranges shown. The term pH refers to the acidity, basicity, or
neutrality of the water supply. Below 7.0, the water is considered to be acidic.
Above 7.0, water is considered to be basic. Neutral water contains a pH of 7.0.
NOTE: To convert ppm to grains per gallon, divide by 17. Hardness in mg/l is
equivalent to ppm.
If <–0.5 minimize steel pipe use.
Above this level deposition will occur.
Rotten egg smell appears at 0.5 ppm level.
