Product Overview
Subassemblies:
The Packaged DX Module for make-up air is a horizontally configured unit that is installed as a package in make-up air units and is designed for outdoor installations. The Packaged DX Module is used to temper the air that is supplied to the building. The make-up air unit is designed to provide sufficient air to replace air that is exhausted from the building and this module is designed to provide necessary cooling.
The DX system comes fully charged with R-410A refrigerant from the factory and is ready for operation upon arrival.
Units may be supplied with one or two compressors based on required cooling capacity. All units with multiple compressors allow for staging of compressors to meet a wider range of outdoor air loads while reducing the number of cycles per compressor.
Compressed Refrigerant
All packaged DX modules are charged with environmentally friendly R-410A compressed refrigerant. Do not use tools or parts designed for other refrigerants on this unit.
Safety Listing
Make-up air units are listed per ANSI/UL 1995, Heating and Cooling Equipment and are ETL Certified.
Supplemental Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manuals
Refer to the Installation, Operation and Maintenance manual for the Make-Up Air unit for additional information.
Coils
Every module is supplied with a single DX evaporator coil. If there is only one cooling circuit, then the DX coil is not divided. If two cooling circuits are specified, then the DX coil will be a split-face. A single condenser coil is attached to the exterior of the module. If more than one cooling circuit is present, that condenser coil will be of split-face configuration.
Dampers
Only an inlet damper may be installed in a PDX module and it will only be found when the module is installed in either model IGX or MSX that was not ordered with an inlet damper module.
DX System
The DX system in the module is a complete, sealed unit with compressed R-410A refrigerant. It consists of one or two compressors, evaporator and condenser coils and the following integral components:
• expansion valves
• liquid line lter-drier
• service / charging valves
• moisture indicating sight glass
• crankcase heater on each compressor
Each DX system incorporates the following:
• high pressure manual reset cutout
• low pressure auto-reset cutout
Models and Capacities

Installation
Service Clearances
All make-up air units require minimum clearances on all sides for routine maintenance. Filter replacement, drain pan inspection and cleaning, fan bearing lubrication and belt adjustment are all examples of routine maintenance that must be performed. Blower and motor assemblies and coil and filter sections are always provided with a service door or panel for proper component access. Clearances for component removal may be greater than the service clearances. Refer to submittal drawings for these clearance dimensions. See also Page 4 of this manual.
Additional Clearances for Packaged DX Units
Packaged DX units require additional service clearance because they must have unrestricted air movement around the condenser coil and condenser fans. Hot air is being discharged from the condenser fans during operation and the more clearance available, the better the chance of avoiding recirculation or coil starvation. This unit should never be placed under an overhang or inside a building. A minimum of 48 inches above the condenser fans is recommended.
Lifting
All units equipped with this module are provided with either four or six lifting lugs. When the unit is being hoisted, all of the provided lugs must be used for support. Four lifting lugs are on the four corners of the unit, located at the base. In addition, there may be two more lifting lugs located at the top of the unit. The locations of those two top lugs varies somewhat from unit to unit.
Use spreader bars as shown to prevent damage to the cabinet. If top-mounted lifting lugs are present, they must be used in conjunction with the bottom-mounted lifting lugs when hoisting the unit.

1. Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
Each unit is equipped with a Thermal Expansion Valve on each refrigerant circuit. The valve controls the flow of liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator coil by maintaining a constant, factory set superheat of 10°F. The valve is adjustable and is located on the side of the evaporator coil and can be accessed through the coil panel access door.
2. Refrigerant Distributor
Attached to the TXV is a refrigerant distributor. The refrigerant distributor evenly distributes the refrigerant to each circuit of the evaporator coil to provide optimum performance.
3. Evaporator Coil
The coil is located in the supply airstream. In the DX system, the liquid refrigerant is expanded in the TXV and it then flows through the evaporator coil. The refrigerant enters the coil as a low temperature liquid/gas where it eventually boils into a low temperature, low pressure gas prior to going into the compressor. As the refrigerant passes through the evaporator coil, it absorbs heat from the airstream. To ensure proper operation, the coil surface must be cleaned so that air movement over the coil provides the necessary heat transfer.

6. Condensing Coil
7. Condenser Fans
8. High Limit Pressure Switch
The switch opens when refrigerant pressure increases above the set point in the liquid line and it then requires a manual reset.
9. Liquid Line Filter-Drier
The liquid line filter-drier prevents moisture and foreign matter from entering the expansion valve.
10. Moisture Indicating Sight Glass
During normal operating conditions, the sight glass should typically be liquid. Some gas is acceptable, but excessive bubbles may indicate improper charge or a leak in the system. A green dot indicates the moisture level in the refrigerant, while a yellow dot indicates moisture in the system and needs to be dealt with.

Sequence of Operation
The compressors are energized by an outdoor air thermostat TS5, located in the unit control center. The thermostat sensor is located in the intake airstream upstream of the DX coil. The thermostat can be a single or dual stage thermostat depending on the number of compressors. The first stage of cooling will energize when the outdoor air temperature rises above the thermostat set point plus the differential. The thermostat is factory set at 80°F with a differential of 5°F but can be field adjusted. The second stage of cooling will energize when the outdoor air temperature rises above the second stage offset plus the differential. The second stage offset is factory set at 10°F and the second stage differential is set at 5°F. See the chart below for a graphical representation of the control operation.
