IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAFE REFRIGERANT HANDLING
While these items will not cover every conceivable situation, they should serve as a useful guide.
WARNING
Refrige rants are heavier than ai r. T hey can "push out" the oxygen in your lungs or in any enclosed space.To avoid possible difficulty in breathing or death:
Never purge refrigerant into an enclosed room or
space. By law, all refrigerants must be reclaimed.
If an in door leak is suspec ted, t horo ughl y vent ilat e
th e ar ea b ef ore b egi nn i ng w or k.
• Liqui d ref ri ge ra nt can be ver y co l d. To av oi d pos si ble frostbit e or blind ness , avoi d co ntac t wi th re fri geran t and wear gloves and goggles. If li quid refrigerant does cont act your skin or eyes , s eek me dica l hel p immediate ly.
• Always follow EPA regulations. Never burn refrig­ erant, as poisonous gas will be produced.
To avoid possible explosion, us e only returnable (not disposable) service cylinders when removing refrig­erant from a s yst em.
• Ensure the cy linder is free of damage which could lead to a leak or explosion.
• Ensure the hydrostatic test date does no t exceed
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, explosion or death, practice safe handling of refrigerants.
5 years.
• Ensure the pressure rating meets or exceeds 400 lbs. When in doubt, do not use cylinder.
WARNING
System contamina nts, improper se rvice procedure and/or physical abuse affecting hermetic com pressor electrical terminals may cause dangerous s ystem venting.
The successful development of hermetically sealed refrigera­tion compressors has completely sealed the compressor's moving parts and electric motor inside a common housing, minimizing refrigerant leaks and the hazards sometimes associated with moving belts, pulleys or couplings.
Fundamental to the design of hermetic compressors is a method whereby electrical current is transmitted to the compressor motor through terminal conductors which pass through the compressor housing wall. These terminals are sealed in a dielectric material which insulates them from the housing and maintains the pressure tight integrity of the hermetic compressor. The terminals and their dielectric embedment are strongly constructed, but are vulnerable to careless compressor installation or maintenance proce­dures and equally vulnerable to internal electrical short circuits caused by excessive system contaminants.
In either of these instances, an electrical short between the terminal and the compressor housing may result in the loss of integrity between the terminal and its dielectric embed­ment. This loss may cause the terminals to be expelled, thereby venting the vaporous and liquid contents of the compressor housing and system.
A venting compressor terminal normally presents no danger to anyone, providing the terminal protective cover is properly in place.
If, however, the terminal protective cover is not properly in place, a venting terminal may discharge a combination of
(a ) hot lubricating oil and refrigerant (b ) flammable mixture (if system is contaminated
with air)
in a stream of spray which may be dangerous to anyone in the vicinity. Death or serious bodily injury could occur.
Under no circumstances is a hermetic compressor to be electrically energized and/or operated without having the terminal protective cover properly in place.
See Service Section S-17 for proper servicing.

PRODUCT DESIGN
This section gives a basic description of cooling unit opera­tion, its various components and their basic operation. Ensure your system is properly sized for heat gain and loss according to methods of the Air Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA) or equivalent.
CONDENSING UNIT
These units are designed for free air discharge. Condensed air is pulled through the condenser coil by a direct drive propeller fan and then discharged from the cabinet top. The unit requires no additional resistance (i.e. duct work) and should not be added.
The GSH13, GSH14, ASH13 and VSH13 Heat Pump con­densing units are designed for 208-230 dual voltage single phase applications. The GSH13 3 ton model is available in 230V, 3 phase applications. The GSH13 4 and 5 ton models are available for 230V, 3-phase and 460V, 3-phase applica­tions.
The units range in size from 1.5 to 5-ton and have a rating of 13 and 14 SEER. SEER efficiency is dependent upon the unit and its components. Refer to the "Technical Information" manual of the unit you are servicing for further details.
The GSC13, GSC14 and ASC13 and VSC13 Condensing Units are made in 1.5 through 5 ton sizes. They are designed for 208-240 volt single phase applications. The GSC13 3 ton model is available in 230V, 3 phase applications. The GSC13 4 and 5 ton models are available for 230V, 3-phase and 460V, 3-phase applications.
Suction and Liquid Line Connections
All units come equipped with suction and liquid valves designed for connection to refrigerant-type copper. Front seating valves are factory-installed to accept the field-run copper. The total refrigerant charge needed for a normal operation is also factory-installed. For additional refrigerant line set information, refer to the "Technical Information" manual of the unit you are servicing.
Compressors
GSC13, VSC13, GSH13 and VSH13 use a mix of reciprocat­ing and scroll compressors, except for the VSC130181AA which uses a rotary compressor. The ASC13 and ASH13 use the Copeland Scroll® Compressor. There are a number of design characteristics which differentiate the scroll compres­sor from the reciprocating compressor. One is the scroll. A scroll is an involute spiral which, when matched with a mating scroll form, generates a series of crescent-shaped gas pockets between the members (see following illustration). During compression, one scroll remains stationary while the other form orbits. This motion causes the resulting gas pocket to compress and push toward the center of the scrolls. When the center is reached, the gas is discharged out a port located at the compressor center.
GSC130361D* and GSC130481AG use Bristol® BENCH­MARK™ compressors, the most advanced compressors in the industry today. The BENCHMARK™ reciprocating com­pressor can be recognized by a “J” in the fourth character of the compressor model number. Innovative mechanical de­sign and gas management make the BENCHMARK™ com­pressor very efficient and remarkably quiet. The sound content (frequency) delivers exceptional acoustical charac­teristics and the virtually round housing design is compact and also helps to reduce the overall sound and vibration.
GSC130181BA use Panasonic® rotary compressors.
COILS AND BLOWER COILS
MBR/MBE blower cabinets are designed to be used as a two­piece blower and coil combination. MBR/MBE blower sec­tions can be attached to cased evaporator coil. This two­piece arrangement allows for a variety of mix-matching possibilities providing greater flexibility. The MBE blower cabinet uses a variable speed motor that maintains a con­stant airflow with a higher duct static.
It is approved for applications with cooling coils of up to 0.8 inches W.C. external static pressure and includes a feature that allows airflow to be changed by +15%. The MBR blower cabinet uses a PSC motor. It is approved for applications with cooling coils of up to 0.5 inches W.C. external static pressure.
The MBR/MBE blower cabinets with proper coil matches can be positioned for upflow, counterflow, horizontal right or horizontal left operation. All units are constructed with R-4.2 insulation. In areas of extreme humidity (greater than 80% consistently), insulate the exterior of the blower with insula­tion having a vapor barrier equivalent to ductwork insulation, providing local codes permit.
The CAPX/CHPX coils are equipped with a thermostatic expansion valve that has a built-in internal check valve for refrigerant metering. The CACF/CAPF/CHPF coils are equipped with a fixed restrictor orifice.
21
PRODUCT DESIGN
The coils are designed for upflow, counterflow or horizontal application, using two-speed direct drive motors on the CACF/CAPF/CHPX models and BPM (Brushless Permanent Magnet) or ECM motors on the MBE models.
The ARUF is a multi-position air handler (upflow/horizontal or downflow) and is equipped with a flowrator for cooling and heat pump applications. Because of its seamless copper tubing and aluminum fins, there are fewer leaks. The steel cabinet of the ARUF is fully insulated and rust resistant. Thermal expansion kits for air conditioning and heat pump applica­tions are available.
ARPF*B 2 to 5 ton air handlers are dedicated for downflow operation and are approved for modular homes. Flowrater. transformer and blower time delay are on all standard ARPF units. Both the ARUF and ARPF have direct-drive multi­speed motors.
AEPF is a multi-position, variable-speed air handler and can be used with R-410A or R-22 (models ending in 1/16). The unit's blower design includes a variable-speed DC motor and is compatible with heat pumps and variable-capacity cooling applications.
ASPF is a multi-position air handler that can be used with R­410A or R-22 and it features a X-13 motor. This motor is a constant torque motor with very low power consumption and it is energized by a 24V signal. The X-13 features an integrated control module and is compatible with heat pumps and cooling applications.

SYSTEM OPERA TION
COOLING
The refrigerant used in the system is R-22. It is a clear, colorless, non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-explosive liquid. The chemical formula is CHCLF atmospheric pressure is -41.4°F.
A few of the important principles that make the refrigeration cycle possible are: heat always flows from a warmer to a cooler body, under lower pressure a refrigerant will absorb heat and vaporize at a low temperature, the vapors may be drawn off and condensed at a higher pressure and tempera­ture to be used again.
The indoor evaporator coil functions to cool and dehumidify the air conditioned spaces through the evaporative process taking place within the coil tubes.
NOTE: The pressures and temperatures shown in the refrigerant cycle illustrations on the following pages are for demonstration purposes only. Actual temperatures and pres­sures are to be obtained from the "Expanded Performance Chart."
Liquid refrigerant at condensing pressure and temperatures, (270 psig and 122°F), leaves the outdoor condensing coil through the drier and is metered into the indoor coil through the metering device. As the cool, low pressure, saturated refrigerant enters the tubes of the indoor coil, a portion of the liquid immediately vaporizes. It continues to soak up heat and vaporizes as it proceeds through the coil, cooling the indoor coil down to about 48°F.
Heat is continually being transferred to the cool fins and tubes of the indoor evaporator coil by the warm system air. This warming process causes the refrigerant to boil. The heat removed from the air is carried off by the vapor.
As the vapor passes through the last tubes of the coil, it becomes superheated, that is, it absorbs more heat than is necessary to vaporize it. This is assurance that only dry gas will reach the compressor. Liquid reaching the compressor can weaken or break compressor valves.
The compressor increases the pressure of the gas, thus adding more heat, and discharges hot, high pressure super­heated gas into the outdoor condenser coil.
In the condenser coil, the hot refrigerant gas, being warmer than the outdoor air, first loses its superheat by heat trans­ferred from the gas through the tubes and fins of the coil. The refrigerant now becomes saturated, part liquid, part vapor and then continues to give up heat until it condenses to a liquid alone. Once the vapor is fully liquefied, it continues to give up heat which subcools the liquid, and it is ready to repeat the cycle.

The check valve at the indoor coil will open by the flow of refrigerant letting the now condensed liquid refrigerant by­pass the indoor expansion device. The check valve at the outdoor coil will be forced closed by the refrigerant flow, thereby utilizing the outdoor expansion device.
The restrictor orifice used with the CA*F, CHPF coils and the AR*F air handler will be forced onto a seat when running in the cooling cycle, only allowing liquid refrigerant to pass through the orifice opening. In the heating cycle it will be forced off the seat allowing liquid to flow around the restrictor. A check valve is not required in this circuit.
COOLING CYCLE
When the contacts of the room thermostat close making terminals R to Y & G, the low voltage circuit of the transformer is completed. Current now flows through the magnetic hold­ing coils of the compressor contactor (CC) and fan relay (RFC).
This draws in the normally open contact CC, starting the compressor and condenser fan motors. At the same time contacts RFC close starting the indoor fan motor.
When the thermostat is satisfied, it opens its contacts, breaking the low voltage circuit, causing the compressor contactor and indoor fan relay to open, shutting down the system.
If the room thermostat fan selector switch should be set on the "on" position, then the indoor blower would run continuous rather than cycling with the compressor.
Heat pumps energize the reversing valve thorough the "O" circuit in the room thermostat. Therefore the reversing valve remains energized as long as the thermostat subbase is in the cooling position. The only exception to this is during defrost.
DEFROST CYCLE
The defrosting of the outdoor coil is jointly controlled by the defrost timing board, defrost (30/60) control, and compressor run time.
HEATING CYCLE
The reversing valve on the heat pump models is energized in the cooling cycle through the "O" terminal on the room thermostat.
These models have a 24 volt reversing valve coil. When the thermostat selector switch is set in the cooling position, the "O" terminal on the thermostat is energized all the time.
Care must be taken when selecting a room thermostat. Refer to the installation instructions shipped with the product for approved thermostats.
HEATING
The heating portion of the refrigeration cycle is similar to the cooling cycle. By energizing the reversing valve solenoid coil, the flow of the refrigerant is reversed. The indoor coil now becomes the condenser coil, and the outdoor coil becomes the evaporator coil.

SYSTEM OPERA TION
AFE18-60A CONTROL BOARD
DESCRIPTION
The AFE18 control is designed for use in heat pump applica­tions where the indoor coil is located above/downstream of a gas or fossil fuel furnace. It will operate with single and two stage heat pumps and single and two stage furnaces. The AFE18 control will turn the heat pump unit off when the furnace is turned on. An anti-short cycle feature is also incorporated which initiates a 3 minute timed off delay when the compressor goes off. On initial power up or loss and restoration of power, this 3 minute timed off delay will be initiated. The compressor won’t be allowed to restart until the 3 minute off delay has expired. Also included is a 5 second de-bounce feature on the “Y, E, W1 and O” thermostat inputs. These thermostat inputs must be present for 5 seconds before the AFE18 control will respond to it.
An optional outdoor thermostat, OT18-60A, can be used with the AFE18 to switch from heat pump operation to furnace operation below a specific ambient temperature setting, i.e. break even temperature during heating. When used in this manner, the “Y” heat demand is switched to the “W1” input to the furnace by the outdoor thermostat and the furnace is used to satisfy the first stage “Y” heat demand. On some
controls, if the outdoor thermostat fails closed in this position during the heating season, it will turn on the furnace during the cooling season on a “Y” cooling demand. In this situation, the furnace produces heat and increases the indoor temperature thereby never satisfying the cooling demand. The furnace will continue to operate and can only be stopped by switching the thermostat to the off position or removing power to the unit and then replacing the outdoor thermostat. When the AFE18 receives a “Y” and “O” input from the indoor thermostat, it recognizes this as a cooling demand in the cooling mode. If the outdoor thermo­stat is stuck in the closed position switching the “Y” demand to the “W1” furnace input during the cooling mode as described above, the AFE18 won’t allow the furnace to operate. The outdoor thermostat will have to be replaced to restore the unit to normal operation.
HIGH VOLTAGE! Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury or death.

S-11 CHECKING LOSS OF CHARGE PROTECTOR
(Heat Pump Models)
The loss of charge protector senses the pressure in the liquid line and will open its contacts on a drop in pressure. The low pressure control will automatically reset itself with a rise in pressure.
The low pressure control is designed to cut-out (open) at approximately 7 PSIG. It will automatically cut-in (close) at approximately 25 PSIG.
Test for continuity using a VOM and if not as above, replace the control.
S-15 CHECKING CAPACITOR
CAPACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main windings of a single phase permanent split capacitor motor. The capacitors primary function is to reduce the line current while greatly improving the torque characteristics of a motor. This is accomplished by using the 90° phase relationship between the capacitor current and voltage in conjunction with the motor windings, so that the motor will give two phase operation when connected to a single phase circuit. The capacitor also reduces the line current to the motor by improving the power factor.
The line side of this capacitor is marked with "COM" and is wired to the line side of the circuit.
CAPACITOR, START SCROLL COMPRESSOR MODELS
In most cases hard start components are not required on Scroll compressor equipped units due to a non-replaceable check valve located in the discharge line of the compressor. However, in installations that encounter low lock rotor volt­age, a hard start kit can improve starting characteristics and reduce light dimming within the home. Only hard start kits approved by Amana "Kick Start" and/or "Super Boost" kits are not approved start assist devices.
The discharge check valve closes off high side pressure to the compressor after shut down allowing equalization through the scroll flanks. Equalization requires only about ½ second.
To prevent the compressor from short cycling, a Time Delay Relay (Cycle Protector) has been added to the low voltage circuit.
RELAY, START
A potential or voltage type relay is used to take the start capacitor out of the circuit once the motor comes up to speed. This type of relay is position sensitive. The normally closed contacts are wired in series with the start capacitor and the relay holding coil is wired parallel with the start winding. As the motor starts and comes up to speed, the increase in voltage across the start winding will energize the start relay holding coil and open the contacts to the start capacitor.
Two quick ways to test a capacitor are a resistance and a capacitance check.

1. Remove the motor leads from its respective connection points and capacitor (if applicable).
2. Check the continuity between each of the motor leads.
3. Touch one probe of the ohmmeter to the motor frame (ground) and the other probe in turn to each lead.
If the windings do not test continuous or a reading is obtained from lead to ground, replace the motor.
S-16B CHECKING FAN AND BLOWER MOTOR
(ECM MOTORS)
An ECM is an Electronically Commutated Motor which offers many significant advantages over PSC motors. The ECM has near zero rotor loss, synchronous machine operation, variable speed, low noise, and programmable air flow. Be­cause of the sophisticated electronics within the ECM motor, some technicians are intimated by the ECM motor; however, these fears are unfounded. GE offers two ECM motor testers, and with a VOM meter, one can easily perform basic troubleshooting on ECM motors. An ECM motor requires power (line voltage) and a signal (24 volts) to operate. The ECM motor stator contains permanent magnet. As a result, the shaft feels "rough" when turned by hand. This is a characteristic of the motor, not an indication of defective bearings.

S-16A CHECKING FAN AND BLOWER MOTOR
WINDINGS (PSC MOTORS)
The auto reset fan motor overload is designed to protect the motor against high temperature and high amperage condi­tions by breaking the common circuit within the motor, similar to the compressor internal overload. However, heat gener­ated within the motor is faster to dissipate than the compres­sor, allow at least 45 minutes for the overload to reset, then retest.
WARNING
Line Voltage now present.
1. Disconnect the 5-pin connector from the motor.
2. Using a volt meter, check for line voltage at terminals #4 & #5 at the power connector. If no voltage is present:
3. Check the unit for incoming power See section S-1.
4. Check the control board, See section S-40.
5. If line voltage is present, reinsert the 5-pin connector and remove the 16-pin connector.
6. Check for signal (24 volts) at the transformer.
7. Check for signal (24 volts) from the thermostat to the "G" terminal at the 16-pin connector.
8. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity from the #1 & #3 (common pins) to the transformer neutral or "C" thermostat terminal. If you do not have continuity, the motor may function erratically. Trace the common cir­cuits, locate and repair the open neutral.
9. Set the thermostat to "Fan-On". Using a voltmeter, check for 24 volts between pin # 15 (G) and common.
10.Disconnect power to compressor. Set thermostat to call for cooling. Using a voltmeter, check for 24 volts at pin # 6 and/or #14.
11.Set the thermostat to a call for heating. Using a voltme­ter, check for 24 volts at pin #2 and/or #11.

S-16D ECM CFM ADJUSTMENTS
MBE MOTOR
This section references the operation characteristics of the MBE model motor only. The ECM control board is factory set with the dipswitch #4 in the “ON” position and all other dipswitches are factory set in the “OFF” position. When MBE is used with 2-stage cooling units, dipswitch #4 should be in the "OFF" position.
For most applications, the settings are to be changed according to the electric heat size and the outdoor unit selection.
The MBE product uses a General Electric ECMTM motor. This motor provides many features not available on the traditional PSC motor. These features include:
Improved Efficiency
Constant CFM
Soft Start and Stop
Improved Humidity Control
MOTOR SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Each ECM™ blower motor has been preprogrammed for operation at 4 distinct airflow levels when operating in Cooling/Heat Pump mode or Electric Heat mode. These 4 distinct levels may also be adjusted slightly lower or higher if desired. The adjustment between levels and the trim adjustments are made by changing the dipswitch(s) either to an "OFF" or "ON" position.

Hermetic compressor electrical terminal venting can be dangerous. When insulatin g material which supports a hermetic compressor or electrical terminal suddenly disintegr ates due to physical abuse o r as a result of an electrical short between the term inal and the compressor housing, the terminal m ay be expelled, venting th e vapor and liquid conten ts of the compressor housing and system.

1. Using a voltmeter, check for 230 volts to the motor connections L and N. If 230 volts is present, proceed to step 2. If 230 volts is not present, check the line voltage circuit to the motor.
2. Using a voltmeter, check for 24 volts from terminal C to either terminal 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, depending on which tap is being used, at the motor. If voltage present, proceed to step 3. If no voltage, check 24 volt circuit to motor.
3. If voltage was present in steps 1 and 2, the motor has failed and will need to be replaced.
Note: When replacing motor, ensure the belly band is between the vents on the motor and the wiring has the proper drip loop to prevent condensate from entering the motor.

If the compressor terminal PROTECTIVE COVER and gasket (if required) are not properly in place and secured, there is a remote possibility if a terminal vents, that the vaporous and liquid discharge can be ignited, spouting flames several feet, causing potentially severe or fatal injury to anyone in its path.
This discharge can be ignited external to the compressor if the terminal cover is not properly in place and if the discharge impinges on a sufficient heat source.
Ignition of the discharge can also occur at the venting terminal or inside the compressor, if there is sufficient contaminant air present in the system and an electrical arc occurs as the terminal vents.
Ignition cannot occur at the venting terminal without the presence of contaminant air, and cannot occur externally from the venting terminal without the presence of an external ignition source.
Therefore, proper evacuation of a hermetic system is essen­tial at the time of manufacture and during servicing.
To reduce the possibility of external ignition, all open flame, electrical power, and other heat sources should be extin­guished or turned off prior to servicing a system.
If the following test indicates shorted, grounded or open windings, see procedures S-19 for the next steps to be taken.
S-17A RESISTANCE TEST
Each compressor is equipped with an internal overload. The line break internal overload senses both motor amperage
and winding temperature. High motor temperature or amper­age heats the disc causing it to open, breaking the common circuit within the compressor on single phase units.
Heat generated within the compressor shell, usually due to recycling of the motor, high amperage or insufficient gas to cool the motor, is slow to dissipate. Allow at least three to four hours for it to cool and reset, then retest.
Fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault protective device, etc. has not tripped -

S-17B GROUND TEST
If fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault protective device, etc., has tripped, this is a strong indication that an electrical problem exists and must be found and corrected. The circuit protective device rating must be checked, and its maximum rating should coincide with that marked on the equipment nameplate.
With the terminal protective cover in place, it is acceptable to replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker ONE TIME ONLY to see if it was just a nuisance opening. If it opens again, DO NOT continue to reset.
Disconnect all power to unit, making sure that all power legs are open.
1. DO NOT remove protective terminal cover. Disconnect the three leads going to the compressor terminals at the nearest point to the compressor.
2. Identify the leads and using a Megger, Hi-Potential Ground Tester, or other suitable instrument which puts out a voltage between 300 and 1500 volts, check for a ground separately between each of the three leads and ground (such as an unpainted tube on the compressor). Do not use a low voltage output instrument such as a volt­ohmmeter.
Carefully retest for ground, directly between compressor terminals and ground.
5. If ground is indicated, replace the compressor.
S-17D OPERATION TEST
If the voltage, capacitor, overload and motor winding test fail to show the cause for failure:
1. Remove unit wiring from disconnect switch and wire a test cord to the disconnect switch.
NOTE: The wire size of the test cord must equal the line wire size and the fuse must be of the proper size and type.
2. With the protective terminal cover in place, use the three leads to the compressor terminals that were discon­nected at the nearest point to the compressor and connect the common, start and run clips to the respective leads.
3. Connect good capacitors of the right MFD and voltage rating into the circuit as shown.
4. With power ON, close the switch.

S-18 TESTING CRANKCASE HEATER
(OPTIONAL ITEM)
The crankcase heater must be energized a minimum of four (4) hours before the condensing unit is operated.
Crankcase heaters are used to prevent migration or accumu­lation of refrigerant in the compressor crankcase during the off cycles and prevents liquid slugging or oil pumping on start up.
A crankcase heater will not prevent compressor damage due to a floodback or over charge condition.
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Disconnect the heater lead in wires.
2. Using an ohmmeter, check heater continuity - should test continuous. If not, replace.
NOTE: The positive temperature coefficient crankcase heater is a 40 watt 265 voltage heater. The cool resistance of the heater will be approximately 1800 ohms. The resistance will become greater as the temperature of the compressor shell increases.
S-21 CHECKING REVERSING VALVE
AND SOLENOID
Occasionally the reversing valve may stick in the heating or cooling position or in the mid-position.
When stuck in the mid-position, part of the discharge gas from the compressor is directed back to the suction side, resulting in excessively high suction pressure. An increase in the suction line temperature through the reversing valve can also be measured. Check operation of the valve by starting the system and switching the operation from COOLING to HEATING cycle.
If the valve fails to change its position, test the voltage (24V) at the valve coil terminals, while the system is on the COOLING cycle.
If no voltage is registered at the coil terminals, check the operation of the thermostat an the continuity of the connect­ing wiring from the "O" terminal of the thermostat to the unit.

WARNING
SERIAL
NUMBER
PLANT
If voltage is registered at the coil, tap the valve body lightly while switching the system from HEATING to COOLING, etc. If this fails to cause the valve to switch positions, remove the coil connector cap and test the continuity of the reversing valve solenoid coil. If the coil does not test continuous ­replace it.
If the coil test continuous and 24 volts is present at the coil terminals, the valve is inoperative - replace it.
S-24 TESTING DEFROST CONTROL
To check the defrost control for proper sequencing, proceed as follows: With power ON; unit not running.
1. Jumper defrost thermostat by placing a jumper wire across the terminals "DFT" and "R" at defrost control board.
2. Connect jumper across test pins on defrost control board.
3. Set thermostat to call for heating. System should go into defrost within 21 seconds.
4. Immediately remove jumper from test pins.
5. Using VOM check for voltage across terminals "C & O". Meter should read 24 volts.
6. Using VOM check for voltage across fan terminals DF1 and DF2 on the board. You should read line voltage (208­230 VAC) indicating the relay is open in the defrost mode.
7. Using VOM check for voltage across "W2 & C" terminals on the board. You should read 24 volts.
8. If not as above, replace control board.
9. Set thermostat to off position and disconnect power before removing any jumpers or wires.
NOTE: Remove jumper across defrost thermostat before returning system to service.
S-25 TESTING DEFROST THERMOSTAT
1. Install a thermocouple type temperature test lead on the tube adjacent to the defrost control. Insulate the lead point of contact.
2. Check the temperature at which the control closes its contacts by lowering the temperature of the control. Part # 0130M00009P which is used on 2 and 2.5 ton units should close at 34°F ± 5°F. Part # 0130M00001P which is used on 3 thru 5 ton units should close at 31°F ± 3°F.

S-40 AR*F & MBR ELECTRONIC BLOWERS
TIME DELAY RELAY
The MBR contains an Electronic Blower Time Delay Relay board, B1370735. This board provides on/off time delays for the blower motor in cooling and heat pump heating demands when “G” is energized.
During a cooling or heat pump heating demand, 24Vac is supplied to terminal “G” of the EBTDR to turn on the blower motor. The EBTDR initiates a 7 second delay on and then energizes it’s onboard relay. The relay on the EBTDR board closes it’s normally open contacts and supplies power to the blower motor. When the “G” input is removed, the EBTDR initiates a 65 second delay off. When the 65 seconds delay expires the onboard relay is de-energized and it’s contacts open and remove power from the blower motor.
During an electric heat only demand, “W1” is energized but “G” is not. The blower motor is connected to the normally closed contacts of the relay on the EBTDR board. The other side of this set of contacts is connected to the heat se­quencer on the heater assembly that provides power to the first heater element. When “W1” is energized, the sequencer will close it’s contacts within 10 to 20 seconds to supply power to the first heater element and to the blower motor through the normally closed contacts on the relay on the EBTDR. When the “W1” demand is removed, the sequencer opens it contacts within 30 to 70 seconds and removes power from the heater element and the blower motor.
The EBTDR also contains a speedup terminal to reduce the delays during troubleshooting of the unit. When this terminal is shorted to the common terminal, “C”, on the EBTDR board, the delay ON time is reduced to 3 seconds and the delay OFF time is reduced to 5 second.
Two additional terminals, M1 and M2, are on the EBTDR board. These terminals are used to connect the unused leads from the blower motor and have no affect on the board’s operation.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
This document covers the basic sequence of operation for a typical application with a mercury bulb thermostat. When a digital/electronic thermostat is used, the on/off staging of the auxiliary heat will vary. Refer to the installation instruc-
tions and wiring diagrams provided with the MBR and AR*F for specific wiring connections and system con­figuration.

1.1 On a demand for cooling, the room thermostat energizes
“G” and “Y” and 24Vac is supplied to “Y” at the condensing unit and the “G” terminal on the EBTDR board.
1.2 The compressor and condenser fan are turned on and after a 7 second on delay, the relay on the EBTDR board is energized and the blower motor starts.
1.3 When the cooling demand “Y” is satisfied, the room thermostat removes the 24Vac from “G” and “Y”.
1.4 The compressor and condenser fan are turned off and after a 65 second delay off, the relay on the EBTDR board is de­energized and the blower is turned off.
2.0 Heating Operation
2.1 On a demand for heat, the room thermostat energizes
“W1” and 24Vac is supplied to heat sequencer, HR1, on the heater assembly.
2.2 The contacts M1 and M2 will close within 10 to 20 seconds and turn on heater element #1. The normally closed contacts on the EBTDR are also connected to terminal M1. When M1 and M2 close, the blower motor will be energized thru the normally closed contacts on the EBTDR board. At the same time, if the heater assembly contains a second heater element, HR1 will contain a second set of contacts, M3 and M4, which will close to turn on heater element #2.
Note: If more than two heater elements are on the heater assembly, it will contain a second heat sequencer, HR2, which will control the 3rd and 4th heater elements if available. If the first stage heat demand, “W1” cannot be satisfied by the heat pump, the temperature indoors will continue to drop. The room thermostat will then energize “W2” and 24Vac will be supplied to HR2 on the heater assembly. When the “W2” demand is satisfied, the room thermostat will remove the 24Vac from HR2. The contacts on HR2 will open between 30 to 70 seconds and heater elements #3 and #4 will be turned off. On most digital/electronic thermostats, “W2” will
remain energized until the first stage demand “W1” is satisfied and then the “W1” and “W2” demands will be removed.
2.3 When the “W1” heat demand is satisfied, the room
thermostat will remove the 24Vac from HR1. Both set of contacts on the relay opens within 30 to 70 seconds and turn off the heater element(s) and the blower motor.

SERVICING
4.0 Heating Operation
On heat pump units, when the room thermostat set to the heating mode, the reversing valve is not energized. As long as the thermostat is set for heating, the reversing valve will be in the de-energized position for heating except during a defrost cycle. Some installations may use one or more outdoor thermostats to restrict the amount of electric heat that is available above a preset ambient temperature. Use of optional controls such as these can change the operation of the electric heaters during the heating mode. This sequence of operation does not cover those applications.
4.1 On a demand for first stage heat with heat pump units, the room thermostat energizes “G” and “Y” and 24Vac is supplied to “Y” at the heat pump unit and the “G” terminal on the EBTDR board. The heat pump is turned on in the heating mode and the blower motor starts after a 7 second on delay.
4.2 If the first stage heat demand cannot be satisfied by the heat pump, the temperature indoors will continue to drop. The room thermostat will then energize terminal “W2’ for second stage heat and 24Vac will be supplied to heat sequencer HR1 on the heater assembly.
4.3 HR1 contacts M1 and M2 will close will close within 10 to 20 seconds and turn on heater element #1. At the same time, if the heater assembly contains a second heater element, HR1 will contain a second set of con­tacts, M3 and M4, which will close and turn on heater element #2. The blower motor is already on as a result of terminal “G” on the EBTDR board being energized for the first stage heat demand.
Note: If more than two heater elements are on the heater assembly, it will contain a second heat sequencer, HR2, which will control the 3rd and 4th heater elements if available. If the second stage heat demand, “W2” cannot be satisfied by the heat pump, the temperature indoors will continue to drop. The room thermostat will then energize “W3” and 24Vac will be supplied to HR2 on the heater assembly. When the “W3” demand is satisfied, the room thermostat will remove the 24Vac from HR2. The contacts on HR2 will open between 30 to 70 seconds and heater elements #3 and #4 will be turned off. On most digital/electronic thermostats, “W3” will
remain energized until the first stage heat demand “Y” is satisfied and then the “G”, “Y”, “W2” and “W3” demands will be removed.
4.4 As the temperature indoors increase, it will reach a point
where the second stage heat demand, “W2”, is satisfied. When this happens, the room thermostat will remove the 24Vac from the coil of HR1. The contacts on HR1 will open between 30 to 70 seconds and turn off both heater element(s). The heat pump remains on along with the blower motor because the “Y” demand for first stage heat will still be present.
4.5 When the first stage heat demand “Y” is satisfied, the room thermostat will remove the 24Vac from “G” and “Y”. The heat pump is turned off and the blower motor turns off after a 65 second off delay.
5.0 Defrost Operation
On heat pump units, when the room thermostat is set to the heating mode, the reversing valve is not energized. As long as the thermostat is set for heating, the reversing valve will be in the de-energized position for heating except during a defrost cycle.
5.1 The heat pump will be on and operating in the heating mode as described the Heating Operation in section 4.
5.2 The defrost control in the heat pump unit checks to see if a defrost is needed every 30, 60 or 90 minutes of heat pump operation depending on the selectable setting by monitoring the state of the defrost thermostat attached to the outdoor coil.
5.3 If the temperature of the outdoor coil is low enough to cause the defrost thermostat to be closed when the defrost board checks it, the board will initiate a defrost cycle.
5.4 When a defrost cycle is initiated, the contacts of the HVDR relay on the defrost board open and turns off the outdoor fan. The contacts of the LVDR relay on the defrost board closes and supplies 24Vac to “O” and “W2”. The reversing valve is energized and the contacts on HR1 close and turns on the electric heater(s). The unit will continue to run in this mode until the defrost cycle is completed.
5.5 When the temperature of the outdoor coil rises high enough to causes the defrost thermostat to open, the defrost cycle will be terminated. If at the end of the programmed 10 minute override time the defrost thermo­stat is still closed, the defrost board will automatically terminate the defrost cycle.
5.6 When the defrost cycle is terminated, the contacts of the HVDR relay will close to start the outdoor fan and the contacts of the LVDR relay will open and turn off the reversing valve and electric heater(s). The unit will now be back in a normal heating mode with a heat pump demand for heating as described in the Heating Operation in section 4.

WARNING
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Disassemble and remove the heating element.
2. Visually inspect the heater assembly for any breaks in the wire or broken insulators.
3. Using an ohmmeter, test the element for continuity - no reading indicates the element is open. Replace as necessary.
WARNING
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
1. Never open a system that is under vacuum. Air and moisture will be drawn in.
2. Plug or cap all openings.
3. Remove all burrs and clean the brazing surfaces of the tubing with sand cloth or paper. Brazing materials do not flow well on oxidized or oily surfaces.
4. Clean the inside of all new tubing to remove oils and pipe chips.
5. When brazing, sweep the tubing with dry nitrogen to prevent the formation of oxides on the inside surfaces.
6. Complete any repair by replacing the liquid line drier in the system, evacuate and charge.
BRAZING MATERIALS IMPORTANT NOTE: Torch heat required to braze tubes of
various sizes is proportional to the size of the tube. Tubes of smaller size require less heat to bring the tube to brazing temperature before adding brazing alloy. Applying too much heat to any tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must use the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being brazed.
NOTE: The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended to avoid burning the serial plate or the finish on the unit. Heat trap or wet rags should be used to protect heat sensitive components such as service valves and TXV valves.

WARNING
REFRIGERA NT U NDER PR ESSUR E! Failure to follow proper procedures may cause property damage, pe rsonal injury or death.
This is the most important part of the entire service procedure. The life and efficiency of the equipment is dependent upon the thoroughness exercised by the serviceman when evacuating air (non-condensables) and moisture from the system.
Air in a system causes high condensing temperature and pressure, resulting in increased power input and reduced performance.
Moisture chemically reacts with the refrigerant oil to form corrosive acids. These acids attack motor windings and parts, causing breakdown.
The equipment required to thoroughly evacuate the system is a high vacuum pump, capable of producing a vacuum equiva­lent to 25 microns absolute and a thermocouple vacuum gauge to give a true reading of the vacuum in the system
NOTE: Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump or run when under a high vacuum. Motor damage could occur.
3. If the vacuum pump is working properly, close the valve to the vacuum thermocouple gauge and open the high and low side valves to the high vacuum manifold set. With the valve on the charging cylinder closed, open the manifold valve to the cylinder.
4. Evacuate the system to at least 29 inches gauge before opening valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge.
5. Continue to evacuate to a maximum of 250 microns. Close valve to vacuum pump and watch rate of rise. If vacuum does not rise above 1500 microns in three to five minutes, system can be considered properly evacuated.
6. If thermocouple vacuum gauge continues to rise and levels off at about 5000 microns, moisture and non­condensables are still present. If gauge continues to rise a leak is present. Repair and re-evacuate.
7. Close valve to thermocouple vacuum gauge and vacuum

pump. Shut off pump and prepare to charge.
Do not front seat the service valve(s) with the compressor open, with the suction line of the comprssor closed or severely restricted.
S-103 CHARGING
EVACUATION
1. Connect the vacuum pump, vacuum tight manifold set with high vacuum hoses, thermocouple vacuum gauge and charging cylinder as shown.
2. Start the vacuum pump and open the shut off valve to the high vacuum gauge manifold only. After the compound gauge (low side) has dropped to approximately 29 inches of vacuum, open the valve to the vacuum thermocouple gauge. See that the vacuum pump will blank-off to a maximum of 25 microns. A high vacuum pump can only produce a good vacuum if its oil is non-contaminated.
WARNING
REFRIGERANT UNDE R PRESSURE! * Do not overcharge sy stem w ith refrigerant. * Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure. Failure to follow proper procedures may cause property damage, personal injury or death.
51
SERVICING
CAUTION
Use refrige rant certified to AHRI standards. Used refrigerant may cause compressor damage and will void the warr an t y. Most portabl e machines cannot clean use d re f ri gerant to meet AHRI standards .
CAUTION
Operating the com pressor with the suction valve closed will void the warranty and cause serious compressor damage.
Charge the system with the exact amount of refrigerant. Refer to the specification section or check the unit name-
plates for the correct refrigerant charge.
An inaccurately charged system will cause future prob­lems.
1. When using an ambient compensated calibrated charg­ing cylinder, allow liquid refrigerant only to enter the high side.
2. After the system will take all it will take, close the valve on the high side of the charging manifold.
3. Start the system and charge the balance of the refriger­ant through the low side. DO NOT charge in a liquid form.
4. With the system still running, close the valve on the charg­ing cylinder. At this time, you may still have some liquid refrigerant in the charging cylinder hose and will definitely have liquid in the liquid hose. Reseat the liquid line core. Slowly open the high side manifold valve and transfer the liquid refrigerant from the liquid line hose and charging cylinder hose into the suction service valve port. CARE­FUL: Watch so that liquid refrigerant does not enter the compressor.
5. With the system still running, reseat the suction valve core, remove hose and reinstall both valve core caps.
6. Check system for leaks.
NOTE: This charging procedure can only be done in the cooling mode of operation. (Early production "a" models only.) All models with compressor process tube access valve can be processed in heating cycle if this valve is used.
When charging a remote condensing unit with a non-match­ing evaporator coil, or a system where the charge quantity is unknown, alternate charging methods must be used. These systems must be charged according to subcooling or super­heat.

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.
If a restriction is located, replace the restricted part, replace drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-104 CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is broken or dam­aged suction and/or discharge valves, or scroll flanks on Scroll compressors, reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant vapor.
The condition of the valves or scroll flanks is checked in the following manner.
1. Attach gauges to the high and low side of the system.
2. Start the system and run a "Cooling Performance Test. If the test shows: a. Below normal high side pressure. b. Above normal low side pressure. c. Low temperature difference across coil. d. Low amp draw at compressor. and the charge is correct. The compressor is faulty - replace
the compressor. NOTE: THIS TEST CANNOT BE DONE IN THE HEATING MODE
Verification of proper rotation of Scroll Compressors is made as follows.
52
SERVICING
NOTE: The compressor may run backwards (noisy opera-
tion) for 1 or 2 seconds at shutdown. This is normal and does not harm the compressor.
1. Install gauges and verify that the suction pressure drops while the discharge pressure increases.
2. Listen for normal compressor sound levels. Reverse rota­tion results in elevated or unusual sound levels.
3. Reverse rotation will result in substantially reduced amp draw from tabulated values.
To correct improper rotation, switch any two power supply leads at the outdoor unit contactor.
The 3 phase Scroll Compressors are direction of rotation sen­sitive. They will rotate in either direction depending on the phasing of the power. There is no negative impact on durabil­ity caused by operating 3 phase compressors in reversed rotation. The compressors internal protector will trip, de-en­ergizing the compressor. Continued operation of 3 phase scroll compressors with the rotation reversed will contribute to com­pressor failure. All 3 phase scroll compressors should be checked for correct phase rotation.

S-105B THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE
The expansion valve is designed to control the rate of liquid refrigerant flow into an evaporator coil in exact proportion to the rate of evaporation of the refrigerant in the coil. The amount of refrigerant entering the coil is regulated since the valve responds to temperature of the refrigerant gas leaving the coil (feeler bulb contact) and the pressure of the refrigerant in the coil. This regulation of the flow prevents the return of liquid refrigerant to the compressor.
The illustration below shows typical heat pump TXV/check valve operation in the heating and cooling modes.
53
SERVICING
COOLING HEATING
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVES
Some TXV valves contain an internal check valve thus eliminating the need for an external check valve and bypass loop. The three forces which govern the operation of the valve are: (1) the pressure created in the power assembly by the feeler bulb, (2) evaporator pressure, and (3) the equivalent pressure of the superheat spring in the valve.
0% bleed type expansion valves are used on indoor and outdoor coils. The 0% bleed valve will not allow the system pressures (High and Low side) to equalize during the shut down period. The valve will shut off completely at approxi­mately 100 PSIG.
30% bleed valves used on some other models will continue to allow some equalization even though the valve has shut-off completely because of the bleed holes within the valve. This type of valve should not be used as a replacement for a 0% bleed valve, due to the resulting drop in performance.
The bulb must be securely fastened with two straps to a clean straight section of the suction line. Application of the bulb to a horizontal run of line is preferred. If a vertical installation cannot be avoided, the bulb must be mounted so that the capillary tubing comes out at the top.
THE VALVES PROVIDED BY GOODMAN ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR OPTIMUM PRODUCT OPERATION. DO NOT USE SUB-
STITUTES.
S-106 OVERFEEDING
Overfeeding by the expansion valve results in high suction pressure, cold suction line, and possible liquid slugging of the compressor.
If these symptoms are observed:
1. Check for an overcharged unit by referring to the cooling performance charts in the servicing section.
2. Check the operation of the power element in the valve as explained in S-110 Checking Expansion Valve Operation.
3. Check for restricted or plugged equalizer tube.
S-107 UNDERFEEDING
Underfeeding by the expansion valve results in low system capacity and low suction pressures.
If these symptoms are observed:
1. Check for a restricted liquid line or drier. A restriction will be indicated by a temperature drop across the drier.
2. Check the operation of the power element of the valve as described in S-110 Checking Expansion Valve Operation.
S-108 SUPERHEAT
The expansion valves are factory adjusted to maintain 12 to 18 degrees superheat of the suction gas. Before checking the superheat or replacing the valve, perform all the proce­dures outlined under Air Flow, Refrigerant Charge, Expan­sion Valve - Overfeeding, Underfeeding. These are the most common causes for evaporator malfunction.
CHECKING SUPERHEAT
Refrigerant gas is considered superheated when its tempera­ture is higher than the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure. The degree of superheat equals the degrees of temperature increase above the saturation temperature at existing pressure. See Temperature - Pressure Chart Table
7.
1. Attach an accurate thermometer or preferably a thermo­couple type temperature tester to the suction line at a point at least 6" from the compressor.
2. Install a low side pressure gauge on the suction line ser­vice valve at the outdoor unit.
3. Record the gauge pressure and the temperature of the line.
4. Convert the suction pressure gauge reading to tempera­ture by finding the gauge reading in Temperature - Pres­sure Chart and reading to the left, find the temperature in the °F. Column.
5. The difference between the thermometer reading and pres­sure to temperature conversion is the amount of super­heat.
EXAMPLE:
a. Suction Pressure = 84 b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 50 c. Thermometer on Suction Line = 63°F.
To obtain the degrees temperature of superheat subtract 50.0 from 63.0°F.
The difference is 13° Superheat. The 13° Superheat would fall in the ± range of allowable superheat.
SUPERHEAT ADJUSTMENT
The expansion valves used on Amana® brand coils are factory set and are not field adjustable. If the superheat setting becomes disturbed, replace the valve.
On systems using capillary tubes or flow control restrictors, superheat is adjusted in accordance with the "DESIRED SUPERHEAT vs. OUTDOOR TEMP" chart as explained in section S-103 CHARGING.

S-109 CHECKING SUBCOOLING
Refrigerant liquid is considered subcooled when its tempera­ture is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to its pressure. The degree of subcooling equals the degrees of temperature decrease below the saturation temperature at the existing pressure.
1. Attach an accurate thermometer or preferably a thermo­couple type temperature tester to the liquid line as it leaves the condensing unit.
2. Install a high side pressure gauge on the high side (liquid) service valve at the front of the unit.
3. Record the gauge pressure and the temperature of the line.
4. Convert the liquid line pressure gauge reading to tempera­ture by finding the gauge reading in Temperature - Pres­sure Chart and reading to the left, find the temperature in the °F. Column.
5. The difference between the thermometer reading and pressure to temperature conversion is the amount of subcooling.
EXAMPLE:
a. Liquid Line Pressure = 260 b. Corresponding Temp. °F. = 120°
c. Thermometer on Liquid line = 109°F. To obtain the amount of subcooling subtract 109°F from 120°F. The difference is 11° subcooling. The normal subcooling
range is 9° - 13° subcooling for heat pumps units, 14 to 18 for straight cool units.
S-110 CHECKING EXPANSION VALVE
OPERATION
1. Remove the remote bulb of the expansion valve from the
suction line.
2. Start the system and cool the bulb in a container of ice
water, closing the valve. As you cool the bulb, the suction pressure should fall and the suction temperature will rise.
3. Next warm the bulb in your hand. As you warm the bulb,
the suction pressure should rise and the suction tempera­ture will fall.
4. If a temperature or pressure change is noticed, the
expansion valve is operating. If no change is noticed, the valve is restricted, the power element is faulty, or the equalizer tube is plugged.
5. Capture the charge, replace the valve and drier, evacuate
and recharge.
55
SERVICING
S-111 CAPILLARY TUBES/RESTRICTOR ORIFICES
The capillary tubes/restrictor orifices used in conjunction with the indoor and outdoor coil, are a predetermined length and bore (I.D.).
They are designed to control the rate of liquid refrigerant flow into an evaporator coil.
The amount of refrigerant that flows through the capillary tube/ restrictor orifice is regulated by the pressure difference between the high and low sides of the system.
In the cooling cycle when the outdoor air temperature rises, the high side condensing pressure rises. At the same time, the cooling load on the indoor coil increases, causing the low side pressure to rise, but at a slower rate.
Since the high side pressure rises faster when the tempera­ture increases, more refrigerant flows to the evaporator, increasing the cooling capacity of the system.
When the outdoor temperature falls, the reverse takes place. The condensing pressure falls, and the cooling loads on the indoor coil decrease, causing less refrigerant flow.
A strainer is placed on the entering side of the tubes to prevent any foreign material from becoming lodged inside the capil­lary tubes.
If a restriction should become evident, proceed as follows:
1. Capture the refrigerant charge.
2. Remove the capillary tubes/restrictor orifice or tube strainer assembly. and replace.
3. Replace liquid line drier, evacuate and recharge.
Discharge and suction pressures will be low, giving the appearance of an undercharged unit. However, the unit will have normal to high subcooling.
Locate the restriction, replace the restricted part, replace drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-113 OVERCHARGE OF REFRIGERANT
An overcharge of refrigerant is normally indicated by an excessively high head pressure.
An evaporator coil, using an expansion valve metering device, will basically modulate and control a flooded evaporator and prevent liquid return to the compressor.
An evaporator coil, using a capillary tube metering device, could allow refrigerant to return to the compressor under extreme overcharge conditions. Also with a capillary tube metering device, extreme cases of insufficient indoor air can cause icing of the indoor coil and liquid return to the compres­sor, but the head pressure would be lower.
There are other causes for high head pressure which may be found in the "Service Problem Analysis Guide."
If other causes check out normal, an overcharge or a system containing non-condensables would be indicated.
If this system is observed:
1. Start the system.
2. Remove and capture small quantities of gas from the suction line dill valve until the head pressure is reduced to normal.
3. Observe the system while running a cooling performance test. If a shortage of refrigerant is indicated, then the system contains non-condensables.
Capillary Tubes/Orifice Assembly
CHECKING EQUALIZATION TIME
During the "OFF" cycle, the high side pressure bleeds to the low side through the capillary tubes/restrictor orifices. Check equalization time as follows:
1. Attach a gauge manifold to the suction and liquid line dill valves.
2. Start the system and allow the pressures to stabilize.
3. Stop the system and check the time it takes for the high and low pressure gauge readings to equalize.
If it takes more than seven (7) minutes the capillary tubes/ restrictor orifices are inoperative. Replace, install a liquid line drier, evacuate and recharge.
S-112 CHECKING RESTRICTED LIQUID LINE
When the system is operating, the liquid line is warm to the touch. If the liquid line is restricted, a definite temperature drop will be noticed at the point of restriction. In severe cases, frost will form at the restriction and extend down the line in the direction of the flow.
S-114 NON-CONDENSABLES
If non-condensables are suspected, shut down the system and allow the pressures to equalize. Wait at least 15 minutes. Compare the pressure to the temperature of the coldest coil since this is where most of the refrigerant will be. If the pressure indicates a higher temperature than that of the coil temperature, non-condensables are present.
Non-condensables are removed from the system by first removing the refrigerant charge, replacing and/or installing liquid line drier, evacuating and recharging.
S-115 COMPRESSOR BURNOUT
When a compressor burns out, high temperature develops causing the refrigerant, oil and motor insulation to decom­pose forming acids and sludge.
If a compressor is suspected of being burned-out, attach a refrigerant hose to the liquid line dill valve and properly remove and dispose of the refrigerant.
56
SERVICING
NOTICE
Violation of EPA regulations may result in fines or other penalties.
Now determine if a burn out has actually occurred. Confirm by analyzing an oil sample using a Sporlan Acid Test Kit, AK­3 or its equivalent.
Remove the compressor and obtain an oil sample from the suction stub. If the oil is not acidic, either a burnout has not occurred or the burnout is so mild that a complete clean-up is not necessary.
If acid level is unacceptable, the system must be cleaned by using the clean-up drier method.
CAUTION
Do no t allow th e slud ge o r oil to co ntac t the skin . Severe bu rns may result.
NOTE: The Flushing Method using R-11 refrigerant is no
longer approved by Goodman Company, L.P.
Suction Line Drier Clean-Up Method
Use AMANA® brand part number RF000127 suction line filter drier kit. This drier should be installed as close to the compressor suction fitting as possible. The filter must be accessible and be rechecked for a pressure drop after the system has operated for a time. It may be necessary to use new tubing and form as required.
NOTE: At least twelve (12) inches of the suction line immediately out of the compressor stub must be discarded due to burned residue and contaminates.
1. Remove compressor discharge line strainer.
2. Remove the liquid line drier and expansion valve. 3 Purge all remaining components with dry nitrogen or
carbon dioxide until clean.
4. Install new components including liquid line drier.
5. Braze all joints, leak test, evacuate, and recharge sys­tem.
6. Start up the unit and record the pressure drop across the drier.
7. Continue to run the system for a minimum of twelve (12) hours and recheck the pressure drop across the drier. Pressure drop should not exceed 6 PSIG.
8. Continue to run the system for several days, repeatedly checking pressure drop across the suction line drier. If the pressure drop never exceeds the 6 PSIG, the drier has trapped the contaminants. Remove the suction line drier from the system.
9. If the pressure drop becomes greater, then it must be replaced and steps 5 through 9 repeated until it does not exceed 6 PSIG.
NOTICE: Regardless, the cause for burnout must be deter­mined and corrected before the new compressor is started.
S-120 REFRIGERANT PIPING
The piping of a refrigeration system is very important in relation to system capacity, proper oil return to compressor, pumping rate of compressor and cooling performance of the evaporator.
This long line set application guideline applies to all AHRI listed R22 air conditioner and heat pump split system matches of nominal capacity 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This guideline will cover installation requirements and additional accessories needed for split system installations where the line set exceeds 50 feet in actual length.
Additional Accessories:
1. Crankcase Heater- a long line set application can critically increase the charge level needed for a system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its off-cycle and a crankcase heater will help minimize this risk. A crankcase heater is recom­mended for any long line application (50 watt minimum).
2. TXV Requirement: All line set applications over 50 ft will require a TXV.
3. Hard Start Assist- increased charge level in long line applications can require extra work from the compressor at start-up. A hard start assist device may be required to overcome this.
4. Liquid Line Solenoid - A long line set application can critically increase the charge level needed for a system. As a result, the system is very prone to refrigerant migration during its off-cycle and a liquid line solenoid will help minimize this. A liquid line solenoid is recommended for any long line application on straight cooling units.
Tube Sizing:
1. In long line applications, the “equivalent line length” is the sum of the straight length portions of the suction line plus losses (in equivalent length) from 45 and 90 degree bends. Select the proper suction tube size based on
equivalent length of the suction line (see Tables 9 &
10) and recalculated system capacity.
Equivalent length = Length horizontal + Length vertical +
Losses from bends (see Table 11)
2. For any residential split system installed with a long
line set, the liquid line size must never exceed 3/8".
Limiting the liquid line size to 3/8" is critical since an increased refrigerant charge level from having a larger liquid line could possibly shorten a compressor’s lifespan.
3. Single Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length of tubing must not exceed 150 feet.
50 feet is the maximum recommended vertical differ-
ence between the condenser and evaporator when the evaporator is above the condenser. Equivalent length is not to exceed 150 feet.
• The vertical difference between the condenser and
evaporator when the evaporator is below the condenser can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet.
57
SERVICING
• The distance between the condenser and evaporator in a completely horizontal installation in which the indoor and outdoor unit do not differ more than 10 feet in vertical distance from each other can approach 150 feet, as long as the equivalent length does not exceed 150 feet.
4. Two-Stage Condensing Unit: The maximum length of tubing must not exceed 75 feet here indoor coil is located above the outdoor unit.
NOTE: When the outdoor unit is located above the indoor coil, the maximum vertical rise must not exceed 25 feet. If the maximum vertical rise exceeds 25 feet, premature compressor failure will occur due to inad­equate oil return.
5. Vibration and Noise: In long line applications, refrigerant tubing is highly prone to transmit noise and vibration to the structure it is fastened to. Use adequate vibration-isolat­ing hardware when mounting line set to adjacent struc­ture.
Most refrigerant tubing kits are supplied with 3/8"-thick insulation on the vapor line. For long line installations over 50 feet, especially if the line set passes through a high ambient temperature, ½”-thick suction line insulation is recommended to reduce loss of capacity. The liquid line should be insulated if passing through an area of 120°F or greater. Do not attach the liquid line to any non-insulated portion of the suction line.
Table 9 lists multiplier values to recalculate system-cooling capacity as a function of a system’s equivalent line length (as calculated from the suction line) and the selected suction tube size. Table 10 lists the equivalent length gained from adding bends to the suction line. Properly size the suction
line to minimize capacity loss.

Installation Requirements
1. In a completely horizontal installation with a long line set where the evaporator is at the same altitude as (or slightly below) the condenser, the line set should be sloped towards the evaporator. This helps reduce refrigerant migration to the condenser during a system’s off-cycle.
2. For a system installation where the evaporator is above the condenser, an inverted vapor line trap should be installed on the suction line just before the inlet to the evaporator (see Fig 6). The top of the inverted loop must be slightly above the top of the evaporator coil and can be created simply by brazing two 90° long radius elbows together, if a bending tool is unavailable. Properly support and secure the inverted loop to the nearest point on the indoor unit or adjacent structure.
Table 9

3. An oil trap is required at the evaporator only if the condenser is above the evaporator. Preformed oil
traps are available at most HVAC supply houses, or oil traps may be created by brazing tubing elbows together (see diagram below). Remember to add the equivalent length from oil traps to the equivalent length calculation of the suction line. For example, if you construct an oil trap using two 45° elbows, one short and one long 90° elbow in a ¾” diameter suction line, the additional equivalent length would be 0.7+ 0.7+1.7+1.5, which equals 4.6 feet (refer to table 9).

Follow the charging procedures in the outdoor unit I/O manual to ensure proper superheat and sub-cooling levels, especially on a system with a TXV installed in the indoor unit. Heat pumps should be checked in both heating and cooling mode for proper charge level. This guideline is meant to provide installation instructions based on most common long line set applications. Installation variables may affect system opera­tion.
NO ADDITIONAL COMPRESSOR OIL IS NEEDED FOR
LONG LINE SET APPLICATIONS
ON RESIDENTIAL SPLIT SYSTEMS.
S-122 REVERSING VALVE REPLACEMENT
Remove the refrigerant charge from the system. When brazing a reversing valve into the system, it is of
extreme importance that the temperature of the valve does not exceed 250° F. at any time.
Wrap the reversing valve with a large rag saturated with water. "Re-wet" the rag and thoroughly cool the valve after each brazing operation of the four joints involved. The wet rag around the reversing valve will eliminate conducting of heat to the valve body when brazing the line connection.
The use of a wet rag sometimes can be a nuisance. There are commercial grades of heat absorbing paste that may be substituted.
After the valve has been installed leak test, evacuate and recharge.
Fig 7. Oil Trap
4. Low voltage wiring. Verify low voltage wiring size is adequate for the length used since it will be increased in a long line application.
System Charging
R22 condensers are factory charged for 15 feet of line set. To calculate the amount of extra refrigerant (in ounces) needed for a line set over 15 feet, multiply the additional length of line set by 0.6 ounces. Note for the formula below, the linear feet of line set is the actual length of liquid line (or suction line, since both should be equal) used, not the equivalent length calculated for the suction line.
Extra refrigerant needed =
(Linear feet of line set – 15 ft) x X oz/ft.
Where X = 0.6 for 3/8" liquid tubing
Remember, for condensers with a liquid valve connection
less than 3/8" diameter, 3/8" liquid tubing is required for a
line set longer than 25 feet.
S-202 DUCT STATIC PRESSURES AND/OR
STATIC PRESSURE DROP ACROSS COILS
This minimum and maximum allowable duct static pressure for the indoor sections are found in the specifications section.
Tables are also provided for each coil, listing quantity of air (CFM) versus static pressure drop across the coil.
Too great an external static pressure will result in insufficient air that can cause icing of the coil. Too much air can cause poor humidity control and condensate to be pulled off the evaporator coil causing condensate leakage. Too much air can also cause motor overloading and in many cases this constitutes a poorly designed system.

SERVICING
S-203 AIR HANDLER EXTERNAL STATIC
To determine proper air movement, proceed as follows:
1. Using a draft gauge (inclined manometer), measure the static pressure of the return duct at the inlet of the unit, (Negative Pressure).
2. Measure the static pressure of the supply duct, (Positive Pressure).
3. Add the two readings together.
TOTAL EXTERNAL STATIC
NOTE: Both readings may be taken simultaneously and read
directly on the manometer if so desired.
4. Consult proper table for quantity of air.
If external static pressure is being measured on a furnace to determine airflow, supply static must be taken between the "A" coil and the furnace.
S-204 COIL STATIC PRESSURE DROP
1. Using a draft gauge (inclined manometer), connect the positive probe underneath the coil and the negative probe above the coil.
2. A direct reading can be taken of the static pressure drop across the coil.
3. Consult proper table for quantity of air.
STATIC PRESSURE DROP
If the total external static pressure and/or static pressure drop exceeds the maximum or minimum allowable statics, check for closed dampers, dirty filters, undersized or poorly laid out duct work.
