Operating Environment
The T-Series Climate Changer (TSC) is an outdoor
air handler. When considering the placement of the
TSC it is important to consider the operating
environment. The acceptable ambient temperature
range for unit operation is -40° to +140°F (-40°C to
60°C).
For heating applications a special motor may be
required to withstand the higher temperatures.
Motors with Class “B” insulation are acceptable for
ambient temperatures up to 104
°F while motors with
class “F” insulation can withstand ambient
temperatures to +140
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CUSTOMER
PROVIDE ADEQUATE FREEZE PROTECTION FOR THE

Most control components are mounted inside the
units. Depending on system configuration, these
controls may include damper actuat ors, dir ty filter
switches, averaging temp er ature sensors, low limit
switches, point temperature switches, and inlet guide
vane actuators. Variable frequency drives, starters,
PCMs, control transformers, static pressure
transducers, DC power supplies, customer interface
relays, etc. will be in enclosures mounted on the
inside of the unit.
Small items that cannot be factory-mounted will ship
inside the control enclosures. These controls may
include space temperature sensors, outside air
temperature sensors, and humidity sensors.
All control valves will ship directly to the “ship to
address” from the vendor, unless another address
was given on the order.
All constant volume or variable air volume control
systems are provided with 120 to 24 VAC control
transformers. Unless ordered with a factorymounted/wired starter or variable frequency drive,
the customer must provide 120 VAC control power,
50/60 hz, typically 3 amps for unit sizes 3 - 50, and 5
amps for unit sizes 66 -100. A dedicated 15 amp
circuit is recommended.
A T-Series Climate Changer unit and/or field-installed
accessories that must be stored for a period of time
prior to being installed MUST be protected from the
elements. The PCM and all other electrical/electronic
components should be stored in conditions of -20 120°F and 5 - 95% relative humidity non-condensing.
Electrical components ARE NOT moisture-tolerant
The warranty will not cover damage to the unit or

Storage Considerations
General
The Trane T-Series Climate Changer air handler is
an outdoor unit and requir es no spec ial prot ecti on for
storage before installation. Keep the equipment in
the original shipping container for protection and
ease of handling. The warranty will not cover
damages to the unit due to negligence during
storage.
For longer periods of storage, allow enough
clearance around the unit to perform periodic
inspection and maintenance of the equipment. In
addition, loosen belt tension on drive belts.
Long Term Storage
Every two weeks, rotate the fan and motor shaft thirty
revolutions by hand. Check for free rotation.
Every six months, check fan shaft bearings and
grease lines. Add grease using a manual grease gun
following the lubrication recommendations in the
Periodic Maintenance section.
Check the motor lubrication; remove and clean
grease plugs and check for the presence of moisture
in the grease. If moisture is present, remove the
motor and send it to an authorized repair shop for
bearing inspection/replacement. If no moisture is
present, refer to the motor manufacturer’s lubrication
recommendation for proper lubrication.
Resolving Shipping Damage
The T-Series Climate Changer ships FOB. If damage
has occurred to the unit sections during shipment,
the following instructions should be completed:
1 Make specific notation describing the damage on
the freight bill.
2 Report all claims of shipping damage to the
delivering carrier immediately.

Component Installation Requirements
WARNING
The T-Series Climate Changer is extremely versatile
and the assembled unit is a complete air handling
system. Each section may have installation
requirements that will affect the performance of the
unit.
High Efficiency Bag and Cartridge Filter Section
The Bag and Cartridge Filter sections can be used as
either a pre-filter section, a Final Filter section or
both. This is determined by placement in relation to
the fan.
Filter Installation
NOTE: CARTRIDGE AND BAG FILTERS PROVIDED BY
TRANE ARE FITTED WITH A 7/8” HEADER THAT FITS
IN THE FILTER TRACK. IF USING FILTERS SUPPLIED
BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER, FILTERS SHOULD
BE PURCHASED WITH A 7/8” HEADER. IN SOME
CASES IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO GASKET THE
LOCALLY PURCHASED FILTERS TO INSURE A GOOD
AIR SEAL.
6 Close the access door and confirm that there is a
good seal of the filter track block-off against the
access door.
Fan Section
The Fan section can be configured as either drawthru or blow-thru. Review the submittals and unit
tagging prior to assembly.
The fan and motor assembly are internally isolated.
The fan and motor bases are bolted to four spring
isolators (see
to the fan section support base. Four (4) shipping tiedowns are bolted adjacent to the isolators between
the fan isolation base and the support frame.
The shipping tie-downs secure the isolation base to
the support assembly to prevent any damage to the
fan section during shipment of the air handler. The
shipping spacers must be removed prior to unit
operation unless the unit is to be externally isolated.
Figure 19
). The isolators are secured
FILTERS SHOULD BE INSTALLED WHEN THE UNIT IS
SET. THIS WILL PROTECT INTERNAL COMPONENTS
SUCH AS THE UNIT’S HEATING AND COOLING COILS.
Trane recommends the use of disposable pre-filters
with high efficiency filters. Disposable pre-filters slide
into the mounting tracks just ahead of the bag/
cartridge filters.
Pressurized Cabinet!
Disconnect all electric power
before opening door. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing
can cause severe personal injury.
1 Disconnect the power to the unit.
2 Open the filter section access door.
3 Remove the adjustable block-off from the filter
track.
4 Slide the filters into the tracks. Note that bag filters
must be installed with the pleats in the vertical
plane.
5 Slide the adjustable block-offs into the filter track.
The block-off is intended to make a seal when the
access door is closed. It is adjustable and may
require a few changes to insure a proper seal.
Review the mechanical specifications and determine
the type of isolation to be used prior to removing the
shipping tie-downs. Remove the tie-downs only if the
factory provided isolation is to be used. If external
isolation is intended, review the portion of this
manual titled “External Isolation.”

Shipping Tie-down Removal
There are four types of shipping tie-downs used to
secure the isolation base:
q Sizes 3 - 8 use a 3/8”x1” pipe. (See
Figure 18
.)
q Sizes 10 - 30, except plug fans, use washers with
a bolt. (See
Figure 18
.)
q Sizes 35 - 50, except plug fans, use a tie-down
bolt and shim. (See
Figure 18
.)
q Size 66 -100 and plug fans use a tie-down angle
and bolt. (See
Installation and Maintenance23
Figure 19
.)

Remove the shipping tie-downs per the following
instructions:
1 Shipping tie-downs are located at each corner of
the isolation base. Access for removal of shipping
spacer is available through the fan module access
doors.
2 Remove the bolt. This will release the isolator and
make it possible to remove the pipe or spacer.
Isolator Adjustment
Once the shipping tie-downs are removed and the
internal isolation is released, it may be necessary to
adjust the isolators to achieve the proper operation
height of the fan and motor isolation base.
The isolators are bolted between the fan and motor
isolation base. There are five designs based on unit
size and fan type. Specific isolator clearances are
listed in
Table 23
. The measurement is taken
between the top of the floor panel (or support
channel on sizes 66-100) and the bottom of the
isolation base channel for all sizes.
Once the T-Series Climate Changer is assembled
and installed, attention must be directed to individual
components for proper operation.

VCM (Transducer) Calibration
The VCM has an auto-zero function that recalibrates
the transducer once every minute.
Input Power Signal
The only input signal the VCM needs is the 24 VAC
power connected to terminals TB5 and TB6.
Output Velocity Signal
The 2 - 10 VDC linear output signal from the VCM
represents air velocity . This voltage can be converted
to represent cfm or L/s using the formula and
26
following. For example, if the VCM on a Size 21
Table
T-Series Climate Changer has a 10-volt signal, it
would represent 16650 cfm (7859 L/s) through the
Traq damper. If this voltage is 6 volts, air flow through
the Traq damper would be 8325 cfm (3930 L/s).
Using the formulas
cfm = k (cfm @ 10V) [volts-2/8]
L/s = k (L/s @ 10V) [volts-2/8], and tables following

installation, as outlined by such organizations as
SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning
Contractors National Association, Inc.) should be
adhered to.
Fan Discharge Connections
When using lined duct, the insulation should not
obstruct the discharge opening. (See
Figure 24
.)
Connections made directly to the discharge opening
of the fan should have a minimum of 3 fan diameters
of straight duct before any turns or transitions. The
first turn of the connection should be in the same
direction as the fan rotation. The air that the fan
discharges into the duct is extremely turbulent and
requires some length of duct to stabilize. Abrupt
changes in duct work directly off the fan discharge
will affect fan performance.
Damper Sections
Standard damper sections include mixing sections,
filter mixing sections, face damper sections, internal
face and bypass sections, and economizer sections.

Units With More Than One Drain Pan
With the T-Series Climate Changer, each section can
be ordered with or without a drain pan. When more
than one section has a drain pan, you must trap each
section individually. Connecting all drains to a
common line with only one trap will result in
condensate retention, and possible water damage to
the air handler or adjoining space.
If a section has a drain pan for cleaning purposes
only, it does not need a trap; however a cap or shut
off valve should be installed on the drain connection.
Only sections handling co nden sa te, suc h as a

General Coil Piping Recommendations
Proper installation, piping and trapping is necessary
to ensure satisfactory coil operation and to prevent
operational damage.
q Support all piping independently of the coils.
q Provide swing joints or flexible fittings on all
connections that are adjacent to heating coils in
order to absorb thermal expansion and
contraction strains.
q If ordered with factory mounted controls, install
the control valves. The valves ship separately in
through
through
T able 29
Figure 37
for connection sizes.
.
THE EXTERNAL CABINET IS ONLY SUFFICIENTLY
SIZED FOR HOUSING COIL PIPING. ALL VALVES AND
VALVE ACTUATORS MUST BE LOCATED
ELSEWHERE.
For best results, The Trane Company recommends
that a short pipe nipple be used on the coil headers
prior to making any welded flange or welded elbow
type connections.
IMPORTANT: TEFLON TAPE OR PIPING COMPOUND
SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY FIELD
CONNECTIONS BECAUSE ITS HIGH LUBRICITY MAY
ALLOW CONNECTIONS TO BE OVER-TIGHTENED,
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE COIL HEADER.
NOTE: USE A BACK-UP WRENCH WHEN ATTACHING
PIPING TO COILS WITH TUBE HEADER
CONSTRUCTION TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE COIL
HEADER. DO NOT USE BRASS CONNECTORS. BRASS
DISTORTS EASILY AND COULD CAUSE CONNECTION
LEAKS.
When attaching the piping to the coil header, make
the connection only tight enough to prevent leaks.
Maximum recommended torque is 200 pound-feet.
Use pipe sealer on all thread connections.
After completing the piping connections, use mastic
to seal between the pipe and casing before insulating
the pipe.

When subjected to freezing temperatures, provisions
must be made to protect coils that are not in use. See
section titled “Coil Winterization.”
NOTE: IF GLYCOL IS USED IN THE CHILLED WATER
OR HOT WATER SYSTEMS, BE SURE TO USE A
GLYCOL APPROVED FOR USE WITH COMMERCIAL
COOLING SYSTEMS AND COPPER TUBE COILS.
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WATER TREATMENT AND
MIX. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD AFFECT COIL
PERFORMANCE OR DAMAGE THE TUBES OR BRAZE
JOINTS.
Coils should be installed with field fitted drains and
vents to permit winterization of coils not in use, and
to assist in evacuating air from the chilled water
system during start-up.
CAUTION
Failure to properly protect coils
not in use during freezing temperatures may result in coil freeze-up
damage. Refer to the section titled

installation agrees with the submittals.
Refer to
Figure 38
for typical steam coil piping.
Condensate must flow freely from
the coil to prevent coil damage
from water hammer, unequal thermal stresses, freeze-up damage
and corrosion. Complete the following recommendations to prevent damage:
1 Install a 1/2” 15 swing-check vacuum breaker in
the unused condensate return connection at the
top of the coil. This vacuum breaker should be
installed as close to the coil as possible.
2 Vent the vacuum breaker to the atmosphere or
pipe it to the return main at the discharge side of
the steam trap.
NOTE: VACUUM BREAKER RELIEF IS MANDATORY
WHEN THE COIL IS CONTROLLED BY A MODULATING
STEAM SUPPLY OR TWO-POSITION (ON-OFF)
AUTOMATIC STEAM SUPPLY VALVE. VACUUM
BREAKER RELIEF IS ALSO RECOMMENDED WHEN
FACE AND BYPASS CONTROL IS USED.
Proper steam trap selection and installation is
necessary for satisfactory coil performance and
service life. For installation, use the following steps:
1 Install the steam trap discharge 12 inches below
the condensate return connection. 12 inches
provides sufficient hydrostatic head pressure to
overcome trap losses and ensures complete
condensate removal.
*
Use float and thermostatic traps with
atmospheric pressure gravity condensate
return, with automatic controls or where the
possibility o f low pr essure suppl y steam exi sts.
Float and thermostatic traps are recommended
because of gravity drain and continuous
discharge operation.
*
Use bucket traps ONLY when the supply
steam is not modulated and 25 psig or higher.
2 Trap each coil separately to prevent holding up
condensate in one or more of the coils.
3 Install strainers as close as possible to the inlet
side of the trap.
4 If installi ng co il s i n ser ie s a ir fl ow, control each coil
bank independently with a automatic steam
control valve. Size the traps for each coil using the
capacity of the first coil in direction of airflow.
5 Use a V-Port modulating valve to obtain gradual
modulation of the coil steam supply.
The 1/2” 15 swing-check vacuum
breaker is recommended because
of the low cracking pressure of 3to 5-inches of water. Some other
vacuum breakers, such as spring
loaded ball-check vacuum breakers, have cracking pressures as
high as 17-inches of water. Substitution of the 1/2” 15 swing-check
vacuum breaker could result in
damage to the coil by preventing
proper evacuation of condensate
from the coil.
The coil condensate return line must be piped full
size of the condensate trap connection, except for a
short nipple screwed directly into the coil headers
condensate return tapping. Do not bush or reduce
the coil return tapping size.
6 Do not modulate systems with overhead or
pressurized returns unless the condensate is
drained by gravity into a receiver, vented to
atmosphere and returned to the condensate
pump.
7 Slowly turn the steam on full for at least 10
minutes before opening the fresh air intake on
units with fresh air dampers.
8 Pitch all supply and return steam piping down 1-
inch per 10 feet in the direction of the steam or
condensate flow.
9 Do not drain the steam mains or take-offs through
the coils. Drain the mains ahead of the coils
through a steam trap to the return line.
10 Assure continuous condensate removal.

IMPORTANT: REFER TO THE NOTE ON THE INSIDE
FRONT COVER OF THIS MANUAL REGARDING
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANTS
Liquid Line Components
Trane recommends the use of a properly sized liquid
line filter-drier installed upstream from the expansion
valve and as close to the evaporator coil as possible.
Base filter-drier selection on a maximum pressure
drop of 2 psi at the design condition.
1 Install moisture indicator/sight glass between the
expansion valve and filter-drier. The moisture
indicator/sight glass must be sized to match the
size of the liquid line at the thermal expansion
valve.
2 Size liquid line shutoff valve with an access port
using the selected liquid line OD, and install it
close to the condenser.
3 Minimize use of other valves, tube bends and
reducers since these items tend to increase
pressure drop and to reduce subcooling at the
expansion valve. Liquid line receivers, other than
those factory-installed, are not recommended.
4 The Thermal Expansion Valve (TEV) must be
selected for proper size and capacity. The size of
the TEV should cover the full range of loadings.
Check that the valve will successfully operate at
the lightest load condition. Also consider the use
of a hot gas bypass valve when sizing the TEV.
Select expansion valves with external equalizer
connections, and those designed to operate
against a back pressure of 20 pounds per square
inch higher than actual evaporator pressure.
5 Install the TEV directly on the coil liquid
connection (distributor) provided. The liquid
distributor must be in a true vertical position.
CAUTION
Disassemble the thermal expansion valve before completing the
brazing connections. If necessary,
wrap the valve in a cool, wet cloth
while brazing. Failure to protect
the valve from high temperatures
may result in damage to the internal components.
Installation and Maintenance47
Page 51
Suction Line Components
Install suction line pressure tap on the leaving side of
the evaporator coil near the TEV sensing bulb
location. Accurate superheat measurement and
thermal expansion valve adjustment demands that
suction pressure be measured near the evaporator
coil.
Usually, suction line filter-driers are only necessary
on systems that have experienced a severe
compressor motor burnout or other failure which
results in extremely high refrigerant temperature. Do
not leave this filter-drier in the suction line
permanently.
Liquid Line Sizing
All compressors have a Refrigerant Charge Limit
(RCL) that must not be exceeded. Since the RCL
and pressure drop are in direct conflict with each
other, T rane recommends that the liquid line be sized
as small as possible, while maintaining a low enough
pressure drop to ensure 5°F of subcooling at the
expansion valve.
Suction Line Sizing
Suction line tubes must be sized to maintain
refrigerant vapor velocities that are high enough to
ensure oil entertainment under all operating
conditions.
It is not nece ssary to pitch horizontal suction lines
toward the compressor when the refrigerant coil is
used with Trane condensing units that are designed
with a gas trap in the suction line just prior to the
compressor.

3 If equipped with a refrigerant coil, charge and
leak-test the unit to and ready it for operation
according to instructions provided with the
condenser equipment. Adjust superheat setting.
4 Check that all air filters are in place and
positioned properly. Under Periodic Maintenance,
see section titled “Air Filters.”
NOTE: UL-LISTED UNITS REQUIRE A “TOOL-ONLY”
REMOVABLE LATCH ON ACCESS DOORS. THE
HANDLE TIE-DOWN SCREW SHIPPED WITH THE UNIT
MEETS THIS REQUIREMENT, AND SHOULD REMAIN
IN PLACE WHEN THE ACCESS DOOR IS CLOSED.
5 Close and secure all unit access doors. Check
that the latch set screws are tight.
6 Remove all foreign material from the drain pan
and check drain pan opening and condensate line
for obstructions.
After completing all prestart-up checks and
procedures, the unit may be started. The following
checks and adjustments should be made during
initial start-up:
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power prior
to access into a fan or ductwork.
Even when locked out electrically,
fans may cause injury or damage if
the impeller is subject to “windmilling.” The impeller should be
secured to physically restrict rotational movement. Failure to secure
impeller can cause severe personal injury or death.
Disconnect electrical power
source when connecting or disconnecting electrical wires for test
procedures. Do not open service
access doors while the unit is
operating. Failure to exercise caution when completing test procedures or while inspecting unit
operation may result in injury or
death from electrical shock, air
movement or rotating parts.
If the unit was stored for an extended period of time,
the following items should be checked before starting
the unit.
1 Inspect motor bearings for moisture and rust.
Replace bearings if necessary and repack with
new grease.
2 Check motor winding. An acceptable winding
resistance reading is from 6 meg-ohms to infinity.
If reading is less than 5 meg-ohms, winding
should be dried out in an oven or by a blower.
3 Inspect the entire motor for rust and corrosion.
4 Lubricate the motor as instructed in the section
titled “Periodic Maintenance,” or as indicated by
the maintenance tag on the motor.
Installation and Maintenance53
Page 57
5 Bump-start unit and observe the fan wheel for
t
proper rotation, as indicated by rotation arrow
located on fan housing.
6 Measure the motor voltage and amperage on all
phases to ensure proper operation. The readings
should fall within the range given on the motor
nameplate.
Maximum allowable voltage imbalance is two
percent. Voltage imbalance is defined as 100 times
the sum of the deviation of the three voltages from
the average, divided by twice the average voltage.
For example, if the three measured voltages are 221,
230 and 227, the average voltage would be 226
volts.
The percent of voltage imbalance is then calculated:

Even when locked out electrically,
fans may cause injury or damage if
the impeller is subject to “windmilling.” The impeller should be
secured to physically restrict rotational movement. Failure to secure
impeller can cause severe personal injury or death.
Fan Belt Alignment
Tighten the belts slightly and rotate the drive several
times.
Sheave Alignment
Align the fan and motor sheaves by using a
straightedge. The straightedge must be long enough
to span the distance between the outside edges of
the sheaves. When the sheaves are aligned, the
straightedge will touch both sheaves at points A
through D to confirm that the shaft is parallel. For
uneven width sheaves, place a string in the center
groove of both sheaves and pull tight. Adjust
54CLCH-IM-16A
On multiple belt drives, determine that the force of
deflection is approximately the same on each belt by
pushing each belt in an equal distance at a point
halfway from each sheave. If this force is not the
same for each belt, the motor and fan shaft are not
parallel. Realign as required.
After realignment, tighten the belts again to the
standard belt tensioning specifications. See the
following section.
Page 58
Over-tensioning of belts can cause damage to
bearings, shafts, and drive components. Belts should
not squeal at start-up. Belt tension should be
rechecked after 8 hours, 24 hours, and 100 hours of
operation and monthly thereafter. When the belt is in
operation, the tight side of the belt should form a
straight line from sheave with only a slight bow on the
slack side.
Fan Belt Tension
NOTE: FAN BELT TENSION SHOULD BE CHECKED AT
LEAST THREE TIMES DURING THE FIRST DAYS OF
OPERATION, SINCE THERE IS A RAPID DECREASE IN
TENSION UNTIL BELTS SETTLE IN. REFER TO THE
DRIVE STICKER FOR PROPER TENSION.

deflection. Deflection is determined by dividing the
belt span distance by 64, as shown in
To measure belt tension, use a belt tensiometer as
shown in
depressing one belt with the belt tensiometer and
measuring the deflection relative to the other belts or
to belt line. Adjust the belt tension to the correct
pounds force and tighten all set screws to the proper
torque. (See

fan rpm
NOTE: THERE IS A LABEL LOCATED ON THE
BEARING SUPPORT ON THE DRIVE SIDE OF THE
UNIT THAT LISTS ALL DRIVE PARTS AND THE
PROPER BELT TENSION FOR THE SPECIFIC DRIVE.
CAUTION
Do not over-tension the belts.
Excessive tension will reduce fan
and motor bearing life, accelerate
belt wear and possibly cause shaft
failure.
For example, given the following:
Motor sheave pitch diameter: 5.7 inches, eight groove
Fan sheave pitch diameter: 10.0 inches, eight groove
Fan horsepower: 2.4 bhp
Fan rpm: 1000 rpm
Belt type: C
Sheave span: 32 inches
Belt speed = (10/12) X 3.14 X 1000 = 2618
T = (24,750 X (24 bhp/2 belts)/2618 = 113.4 lb
F = (13.4 + 40)/16 = 9.6 lb.
Also, D =(Belt span (inches))/64 = 32/64 =.50 in.
Therefore, the belt tensiometer should read 11.5
pounds force at 15/16-inch deflection. This will yield
159.4 pounds force belt tension.
Belt tensions determined by using
minimum values. The correct operating tension for a
V-belt drive is the lowest tension at which the belts
will not slip under the peak load conditions. It may be
necessary, however, to increase the tension of some
drives to reduce excessive belt flopping or to reduce
excessive start-up squea li ng.

Fan bearings should be lubricated with a lithium base
grease which conforms to NLGI Number 2 for
consistency. See
Table 49
and
Table 50
for
recommended lubricants and bearing grease
capacities.
CAUTION
Improper lubrication can result in
premature bearing failure.
Do not mix greases with different
bases within the bearing. This can
cause an audible squealing noise
that may be transmitted through
the system ductwork. Premature
bearing failure may result.
To lubricate the fan bearings, complete the following:
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power
source before servicing the unit. If
unit must be on for maintenance
procedures, exercise extreme caution. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or death from electrical shock or entanglement in
moving parts.
Disconnect electrical power prior
to access into a fan or ductwork.
Even when locked out electrically,
fans may cause injury or damage if
the impeller is subject to “windmilling.” The impeller should be

secured to physical ly restrict rotational movement. Failure to secure
impeller can cause severe personal injury or death.
1 Disconnect main power switch.
2 Check grease lines for tight connections at the
grease fitting.
3 Using a manual low pressure grease gun, add
grease until a light bead of grease appears at the
bearing grease seal. Turn the fan wheel manually
while adding grease.
Fan Motors
Inspect fan motors periodically for excessive
vibration or temperature. Operating conditions will
vary the frequency of inspection and lubrication.

intervals. Motor lubrication instructions are found on
the motor tag or nameplate. For a list of compatible
greases, see
Disconnect power source for
motor lubrication. Failure to do so
may result in injury or death.
Disconnect electrical power prior
to access into a fan or ductwork.
Even when locked out electrically,
fans may cause injury or damage if
the impeller is subject to “windmilling.” The impeller should be
secured to physically restrict rotational movement. Failure to secure
impeller can cause severe personal injury or death.
Coil Cleaning
The frequency of required cleaning is dependent on
the operating hours of the system, filter maintenance
and efficiency and dirt load.
IMPORTANT: COILS BECOME EXTERNALLY FOULED
AS A RESULT OF NORMAL OPERATION. DIRT ON THE
SURFACE OF THE COIL REDUCES IT’S ABILITY TO
TRANSFER HEAT THAT CAN RESULT IN COMFORT
PROBLEMS, INCREASED RESISTANCE TO AIR FLOW
AND THUS INCREASED OPERATING ENERGY COSTS.
IF THE DIRT ON THE SURFACE OF THE COIL
BECOMES WET, SUCH AS COMMONLY OCCURS
WITH COOLING COILS, MICROBIAL GROWTH (MOLD)
CAN RESULT THAT MAY CAUSE UNPLEASANT
ODORS AND SERIOUS HEALTH-RELATED INDOOR
AIR QUALITY PROBLEMS.

Steam, hot water and chilled water coils should be
kept clean to maintain maximum performance. If fins
become dirty, clean with steam and detergent, hot
water spray and detergent, or one of the
commercially available chemical coil cleaners. Rinse
coils thoroughly after cleaning.

1 Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.
2 Don the appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE).
3 Gain access to the coil section of the unit (both
sides).
CAUTION
Follow directions provided with
the cleaner to avoid coil damage.
4 Use a soft brush to remove loose debris from both
sides of the coil.
5 Use a steam cleaning machine, starting from the
top of the coil and working downward. Clean the
leaving air side of the coil first, then the entering
air side. Use a block-off to prevent steam fro m
blowing through the coil and into a dry section of
the unit.
6 Repeat step 5 as necessary.
7 Confirm that the drain line is open following the
cleaning.
8 Allow the unit to dry thoroughly before putting the
system back in service.
9 Straighten any coil fins that may have been
damaged during the cleaning process with a fin
rake.
10 Replace all panels and parts and restore electrical
power to the unit.
11 Use caution to assure that any contaminated
material does not contact other areas of the unit
or building. Properly dispose of all
contaminated materials and cleaning solution.
WARNING
Never use steam or hot water to
clean a refrigerant coil. Dangerous
pressures may be built up by the
improper application of heat
resulting in equipment damage or
personal injury.
1 Follow steps 1-4 from Steam and Water Coil
Cleaning procedure preceding.
2 Mix a high quality coil cleaning detergent with
water according to the manufacturers instructions.
If the detergent is strongly alkaline after mixing
(PH 8.5 or higher), it must contain an inhibitor.
Carefully follow the detergent manufac tu re rs
instructions on the use of the product.
3 Place the mixed solution in a garden pump-up
sprayer or high pressure sprayer. If a high
pressure sprayer is used, note the following:
q Maintain a minimum nozzle spray angle of 15
degrees.
q Spray perpendicular to the coil face.
Type K cooling coils
Type K cooling coils have removable headers for
cleaning. A small nylon or fiber brush may be used to
clean the tubes. After cleaning, flush with water.
When removing any header, replace the rubber
sealing gasket and be sure that it seats properly
when header is installed. If necessary, pull out
turbulators, clean the tubes and replace turbulators.
When header covers are replaced, apply washers
under the bolt heads. Bolts should be evenly
tightened to 50 pound-feet of torque.
Refrigerant coils
Refrigerant coils should be kept clean to maintain
maximum performance. If fins become dirty, clean
with cold water and detergent, or one of the
commercially available chemical coil cleaners. Rinse
coils thoroughly after cl eaning.
q Protect other areas of the air handler and internal
controls from contact with moisture or the
cleaning solution.

Coil Winterization
Provisions must be made to drain coils that are not in
use when subjected to freezing temperatures. Coil
type NS may be adequately drained in its pitched
position within the unit and the installer must provide
appropriate piping for adequate drainage.
Coil types UU, D, DD, (provided with drain and vent)
K, W, WC, and P can be adequately drained as
installed in their level position.
CAUTION
Failure to properly drain and vent
coils when not in use during freezing temperatures may result in coil

the outside.
CAUTION
Use caution in removing header
plugs from P2, P4 and P8 coils.
Over torquing may result in
twisted tubes.
Type UW Coil - (Leveled/pitched— not fully
drainable)
Remove the vent and drain plugs and blow the coils
out as completely as possible with compressed air.
The coils should then be filled and drained several
times with full strength inhibited ethylene glycol, so
that it will mix thoroughly with the water retained in
the coil. Drain the coil out as completely as possible.
Type K Coils
To winterize Type K coils, remove the header covers.
If tubes are fouled, clean with nylon or fiber brush. T o
ensure that no water will remain in the coil, do not
replace the header covers until the coils are put back
into service. When the coils are put back into service,
new gaskets must be used. When header covers are
replaced, apply washers under the bolt heads and
tighten bolts evenly to 50 pound-feet. Bolts should be
