The outdoor housing of the unit
is designed for the refrigeration
technician. Removing only a few
screws allows complete removal
of the compressor housing top
panel, side panel and corner
post. This gives the mechanic
quick, unrestricted access to the
compressor, all controls and
components located within the
compressor compartment. Or, just
a single panel can be removed,
depending on the requirements of
the service call.
The large control panel has abundant space for the controls you choose. The components are
intelligently arranged and laid out in a logical fashion which is easy to understand and work
with. Each control and wire is clearly marked with a name or number as shown on the wiring
diagram which is permanently affixed to the control panel door.

AIR COOLED CONDENSING UNITS 20 TO 80 HP
RUSS-SAVER
The initial cost of quality refrigeration equipment is a substantial investment. But the costs of
installation and operation are also formidable. Rising to the challenge, Russell engineers have
designed the RUSS-SAVER system to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability
while effectively addressing the problem of these profit draining costs.
REDUCED INSTALLATION COSTS
The installation of a refrigeration system using RUSS-SAVER requires a smaller refrigerant
charge than equipment which utlilze other types of low ambient controls. As the more expensive
zero ozone depleting, refrigerants become the refrigerants of choice, the reduced charge
requirements provided by RUSS-SAVER affords substantial and immediate cost saving benefits.
REDUCED OPERATING COSTS
The most expensive part of an operating refrigeration system is the cost of energy to operate the
compressor. Day and night, year after year, the cost of electricity to operate your eqiupment is
unrelenting. These dollars are pulled right from your bottom line.
A typical installation provides for equipment which is designed to furnish adequate cooling on
the hottest of days. The RUSS-SAVER system is designed to meet this need but also be flexible
enough to take advantage of reduced ambient conditions during off-peak times. As the outside
air temperature decreases, head pressures are allowed to drop. This action results in increased
efficiency, requiring less energy and saving substantial amounts of your money!
RUSS-SAVER even saves money during hot weather.
The sub cooling loop provided in the condenser of the RUSS-SAVER condensing unit increases
the system efficiency 1/2% for each degree of sub cooling provided, thereby making the
compressor’s job easier. RUSS-SAVER’S efficiency saves you money during summer operation
and even more during the winter months.

ENERGY SAVINGS CALCULATIONS
To estimate your average monthly savings:
1) Select a RUSS-SAVER system that meets your refrigeration requirements.
2) Determine the Average Annual Outdoor Air Temperature from the table below.
3) Using the Projected Monthly Savings graph, locate the system nominal horsepower at the bottom of the graph
(the nominal system horsepower can be derived from the model number nomenclature).
4) Go straight up to the appropriate Average Annual Outdoor Air Temperature curve, and then go horizontally to
the left to determine your Estimated Monthly Average Savings.
5) To calculate your Estimated Monthly Saving for an energy cost other than $0.10 KWH, divide the Estimated
Monthly Savings by 0.10 and multiply by your local electric utility rate.
6) To determine your Estimated Yearly Savings, multiple the Estimated Monthly Savings number by 12.
