PRODUCT DESIGN

GPC Package Cooling Units are designed for outdoor instal­lations only in either residential or light commercial applica­tions and are available in 2, 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2 and 4 ton sizes.
They are designed for 208/230 volt single phase applications.

The connecting ductwork (Supply and Return) can be con­nected for either horizontal or vertical airflow. In the vertical
application, a matching Roof Curb is recommended and a
horizontal duct cover kit is required.

A return air filter must be installed behind the return air grille(s)
or provision must be made for a filter in an accessible loca­tion within the return air duct. The minimum filter area should
not be less than those sizes listed in the Specification Sec­tion. Under no circumstances should the unit be operated
without return air filters.

A 3/4” PVC pipe is provided for removal of condensate water
from the indoor coil In order to provide proper condensate
flow, a drain trap is supplied and shipped loose inside the
unit for field installation. (Do not reduce the drain line size.)

Refrigerant flow control is achieved by use of restrictor ori­fices. GPC units use the FasTest Access Fitting System
with a saddle that is either soldered to the suction and liquid
lines or is fastened with a locking nut to the access fitting
box (core) and then screwed into the saddle. Do not re-

move the core from the saddle until the refrigerant
charge has been removed. Failure to do so could re­sult in property damage or personal injury.

The single phase units use permanent split capacitor (PSC)
design compressors. Starting components are therefore not
required for these units. A low microfarad run capacitor as­sists the compressor to start and remains in the circuit dur­ing operation.

The outdoor fan motors are single phase capacitor type mo­tors. GPC1524-48M41* units have X-13 indoor blower mo­tors that are energized by a 24V signal from the thermostat
and are constant torque motors with very low power con­sumption. The X-13 features an integral control module.

Air for condensing (cooling cycle) is drawn through the out­door coil by a propeller fan, and is discharged vertically out
the top of the unit. The outdoor coil is designed for .0 static.
No additional restriction (ductwork) shall be applied.

Conditioned air is drawn through the filter(s), field installed,
across the coil and back into the conditioned space by the
indoor blower.

GPC15 models use Copeland Scroll Compressors. There

are a number of design characteristics which are different
from the traditional reciprocating compressor.

- Due to their design Scroll Compressors are inherently
more tolerant of liquid refrigerant. NOTE: Even though the
compressor section of a Scroll compressor is more toler­ant of liquid refrigerant, continued floodback or flooded
start conditions may wash oil from the bearing surfaces
causing premature bearing failure.

- Scroll Compressors use white oil which is compatible
with 3GS oil which may be used if additional oil is re­quired.

- Operating pressures and amp draws may differ from stan­dard reciprocating compressors. This information may be
found in the "Cooling Performance Data" section.

Location and Clearances

NOTE: To ensure proper condensate drainage, unit must be
installed in a level position.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Roof Curb

Rooftop Installation - Multi-positional (M)

NOTE: To ensure proper condensate drainage, unit must be

installed in a level position.
In installations where the unit is installed above ground level

and not serviceable from the ground (Example: Roof Top in­stallations), the installer must provide service platform for ser­vice person with rails or guards in accordance with local codes
or ordinances or in their absence with the latest edition of the
Uniform Mechanical Code Section 305.

NOTE: Unit can also use roof curb (and platform for leveling,
where necessary) to utilize bottom discharge.

WARNING

TO PREVENT POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, THE
UNIT SHOULD REMAIN IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION
DURING ALL RIGGING AND MOVING OPERATIONS.
TO FACILITATE LIFTING AND MOVING IF A CRANE
IS USED, PLACE THE UNIT IN AN ADEQUATE CABLE
SLING.

IMPORTANT: If using bottom discharge with roof curb,

ductwork should be attached to the curb prior to installing
the unit.

Refer to Roof Curb Installation Instructions for proper curb
installation. Curbing must be installed in compliance with
the National Roofing Contractors Association Manual.
