Important Environmental Concerns!
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth's naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Grounding Required!
Follow proper local and state electrical code on requirements for grounding. Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury.

The nameplate for the “Scroll” compressors are located on the compressor lower housing.
SS-SVX09A-EN 5
General Information
Evaporator Nameplate (EVP Chiller Applications Only)
The nameplate is located on the same side of the refrigerant connections near the top. To view the nameplate, remove the tape over the area and spread the insulation. Retape the insulation after viewing.
Unit Description
All air cooled condensing units are designed for outdoor installations with vertical air discharge. These units may be installed on a flat roof or placed on a concrete slab at ground level.
Before shipment, each unit is leak-tested, evacuated, a Nitrogen holding charge is added, and the controls are tested for proper operation.
The condenser coils are aluminum fin, bonded to copper tubing. Copper-fin coils are optional. Louvered condenser grilles for coil protection are standard. Direct-drive, vertical discharge condenser fans are provided with built-in current and overload protection.
For “Ship with” items, refer to the Unit Component “Layout” and “Ship with” Locations illustration.
Figure 1. Unit Component Layout and ‘shipwith’ Locations (60 Ton Unit Illustrated)
If low ambient operation is required, low ambient dampers are available as a field or factory installed option.
These units may be order with one of the following options:
No System Controls (Field provided controls required)
Constant Volume Controls
Supply Air Temperature Control (VAV applications)
EVP Chiller Controls
Basic unit components include:
Manifolded Scroll Compressors
Intertwined condenser coils
Condenser fans (number based on unit size)
Discharge service valve (one per circuit)
Liquid line service valve (one per circuit)

Installation

Unit Inspection
As soon as the unit arrives at the job site
[ ] Verify that the nameplate data matches the data on the sales order and bill of lading (including electrical data).
[ ] Verify that the power supply complies with the unit nameplate specifications.
[ ] Visually inspect the exterior of the unit, including the roof, for signs of shipping damage.
[ ] Check for material shortages. Refer to the Component Layout and Ship with Location illustration.
If the job site inspection of the unit reveals damage or material shortages, file a claim with the
carrier immediately. Specify the type and extent of the damage on the ‘bill of lading” before signing.
[ ] Visually inspect the internal components for shipping damage as soon as possible after delivery and before it is stored. Do not walk on the sheet metal base pans.
WARNING
No Step Surface!
Do not walk on the sheet metal drain pan. Walking on the drain pan could cause the supporting metal to collapse. Failure of the drain pan could result in death or serious injury.
Bridging between the unit's main supports may consist of multiple 2 by 12 boards or sheet metal grating.
[ ] If concealed damage is discovered, notify the carrier's terminal of damage immediately by phone and by mail. Concealed damage must be reported within 15 days.
Request an immediate joint inspection of the damage by the carrier and the consignee. Do not remove damaged material from the receiving location. Take photos of the damage, if possible. The owner must provide reasonable evidence that the damage did not occur after delivery.
[ ] Notify the appropriate Trane office before installing or repairing a damaged unit.
Unit Clearances
Figure 2 illustrates the minimum operating and service clearances for either a single, multiple, or
pit application. These clearances are the minimum distances necessary to assure adequate serviceability, cataloged unit capacity, and peak operating efficiency.
NOTICE
Providing less than the recommended clearances may result in condenser coil starvation or recirculation of hot condenser air.
Locate the unit as close to the applicable system support equipment as possible to minimize refrigerant piping lengths.
EVP Chiller Considerations
The EVP chiller must be installed indoors unless:
Outdoor temperatures are always above 32º F.
System circulating liquid is a non-freezing glycol-type solution selected for prevailing ambient temperatures.
Chiller is protected from freeze-up by properly installed and applied insulation and heat tape.
SS-SVX09A-EN 7
Installation
NOTICE
To prevent internal chiller damage due to freezing, do not install the BPHE chiller outdoors without adequate freeze protection.
Allow adequate clearance for water and refrigerant piping connections, space to perform service procedures, i.e. read gauges, thermometers, and operate water system valves.
Unit Dimensions & Weight Information
Overall unit dimensional data for each unit is illustrated in Figure 3 to Figure 8.
A Center-of-Gravity illustration and the dimensional data for the unit is shown in Figure 15.
Ta b l e 1 lists the typical operating and point loading weights for the unit.
EVP chiller mounting footprints and overall dimensional data is illustrated in Figure 9 to Figure 14.
Ta b l e 2 lists the typical EVP operating weights and general data.
Foundation
If the unit is installed at ground level, elevate it above the snow line. Provide concrete footings at each support location or a slab foundation for support. Refer to Tabl e 1 for the unit operating and point loading weights when constructing the footing foundation.
Anchor the unit to the footings or slab using hold down bolts or isolators. Isolators should be installed to minimize the transmission of vibrations into the building. Refer to the “Unit Isolation” section for spring or rubber isolator installation instructions.
For rooftop applications, ensure the roof is strong enough to support the unit. Refer to Tabl e 1 for the unit operating weights.
Anchor the unit to the roof with hold-down bolts or isolators. Follow the instructions under “Unit Isolation” for proper isolator placement and installation.
Check with a roofing contractor for proper waterproofing procedures.
The EVP chiller must be installed level and should be mounted on a base that will adequately support the operating weight. Refer to Ta b l e 2 for operating weights.

Leveling the Unit
2. Align the mounting holes in the base rail of the unit with the positioning pin in the top of the appropriate isolator. Refer to
3. Position the isolator to allow access to the mounting holes in the base of the isolator.
4. Lower the unit onto the isolator. The positioning pin on the isolator must engage into the hole of the base rail. The clearance between the upper and lower isolator housings should be approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch. A clearance greater than 1/2 inch indicates that shims are required to level the unit. Refer to the “Leveling the Unit” section.
5. Make minor clearance adjustments by turning the isolator leveling bolt (Ta bl e 4) clockwise to increase the clearance and counterclockwise to decrease the clearance. If proper isolator clearance cannot be obtained by turning the leveling bolt, level the isolators themselves. A 1/ 4 inch variance in elevation is acceptable.
6. Secure the isolator to the mounting surface using the base holes in the isolator.
7. After the unit is level, tighten the isolator base mounting bolts to secure them to the mounting surface.
Before tightening the mounting bolts, level the unit carefully. Use the unit base rail as a reference. Level the unit to within 1/4 inch over its entire length. Use shims if non-adjustable isolators (neoprene) are used.
If adjustable isolators (spring) are used, ensure that the proper isolator housing clearance is maintained while leveling the unit. Isolators are identified by color and/or an isolator part number. Shims under the isolators may be required if the unit can not be leveled using the isolator leveling bolt.

SS-SVX09A-EN 31
Installation
Refer to Tab l e 5 for filter/filter drier recommendations.
Liquid Line Moisture Indicator Sight Glass
To aid in troubleshooting, install a moisture indicator sight glass in the liquid line near the evaporator, down stream of the solenoid valve prior to any branch takeoffs to the expansion valve. The sight glass should not be used to determine adequate refrigerant charge or sub-cooling. Actual temperature measurements are required to determine proper charge and sub-cooling.
Refer to Tab l e 6 for solenoid valve/moisture indicator sight glass recommendations.
Liquid Line Solenoid Valves
Liquid line isolation solenoid valves are required for refrigerant migration control into the evaporator during the “Off” cycle and should be connected as illustrated in the applicable field connection diagram.
Under certain conditions, liquid line solenoid valves may be used to trim the amount of active evaporator as compressors unload. Generally, the trim solenoid valve is unnecessary on comfort cooling VAV systems, and is only required on CV systems when dehumidification is a concern.
Refer to Tab l e 6 for solenoid valve/moisture indicator sight glass recommendations.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TEV)
Trane recommends a balance-ported externally equalized valve in order to maintain satisfactory superheat control down to lower valve loading conditions and to compensate for pressure drops between the expansion valve and superheat control point (evaporator refrigerant outlet).
In order to get proper refrigerant distribution into the coil, an expansion valve is required for each coil distributor.
Access Valves (Ports)
The access ports in the liquid line allows the unit to be charged with liquid refrigerant and is used to determine sub-cooling.
The access ports in the suction line allows the operating suction pressure to be checked across the suction line filter. These ports are usually a Schraeder valve with core.
Ball Shutoff Valves
The ball shutoff valve allows for isolation of the Filter/Filter Drier for easier core replacement.
Two ball shutoff valves equal to the OD Tubing size for both the liquid line and suction line are required.
Frostat™ Coil Frost Protection
The Froststat control is the preferred method of coil frost protection. The Frostat control bulb is mechanically attached to the suction line near the evaporator and wired to the unit control panel. Refer to the proper field connection diagram for details.

Refrigerant Piping
Refrigerant piping must be properly sized and applied. These two factors have a very significant effect on both system performance and reliability.
NOTICE
Use Type “L” refrigerant grade copper tubing only.
Refrigerant Piping should be sized and laid out according to the job plans and specifications. This should be done when the system components are selected.
Suction Line Piping
Proper suction line sizing is required to guarantee that oil is returned to the compressor throughout the operating system. Furthermore, the line must be sized so that the pressure drop does not excessively affect capacity or efficiency. To accomplish both, it may be necessary to have two sizes, one for horizontal run and vertical drops, and another for the vertical lifts. The suction line size pre­selected in the Table below are independent of the line length for a properly charged RAUC unit operating in a normal air conditioning application.
For more information, refer to the latest edition of Application Guide SS-APG001-EN.
1. Do not use suction line traps.
2. Do not use double risers.
3. Avoid putting liquid lines underground.
4. Route suction lines as short and direct as possible.
5. Slope suction lines toward the evaporator ¼-inch to 1-inch for every 10 feet.

Liquid Line Piping
Installation
Liquid line sizes are based on their ability to provide a minimum of 5 degrees F (2.7ºC) of sub­cooling at the expansion valve throughout the unit’s operating system. Increasing the liquid line size does not increase the available sub-cooling. The uniform liquid line size, pre-selected in the Table below, are independent of the line length or rise within the permissible guidelines to maintain this minimum required 5 degree F (2.7ºC) sub-cooling at the expansion valve for a properly charged RAUC unit operating in a normal air conditioning application.
The liquid line should have a slight slope in the direction of flow so that it can be routed with the suction line.
The unit has a liquid line check valve that prevents liquid refrigerant from flowing backward through the liquid line, filling the condenser, and overflowing to the compressor during the “Off” cycle. A relief valve is also installed to prevent the build up of high pressure in the liquid line when the unit is off. For proper operation of the relief valve, the liquid line service valve should not be in the back seated position but cracked open so the relief valve (and the fan pressure switch) is open to the condenser. The line that connects the outlet of the 235 psig relief valve to the liquid line service valve must not be removed.
For more information, refer to the latest edition of Application Guide SS-APG001-EN.
1. Avoid putting liquid lines underground.
2. Route liquid lines as short and direct as possible.
3. Slope liquid lines away form the condensing unit 1-inch for every 10 feet.
4. Only insulate liquid lines that pass through heated areas.
5. Wire solenoid valves according to the field connection diagram for proper pump down operation.
6. The liquid line filter drier should be as close to the solenoid valve as possible.
Note: If the liquid line riser exceeds 10 feet, refer to Tube Size and Component Selection,

Hot Gas Bypass for Commercial Comfort-Cooling Applications
Hot gas bypass is not recommended for use on RAUC units. Frostat™ is the preferred method of protecting the evaporator from freeze-up. It turns off compressors when the coil frosting is sensed. The compressor is allowed to operate when the coil temperature rises a few degrees above the frosting condition. This action reduces the overall energy consumption of the system while reliably maintaining system control.
For more information, refer to the latest edition of Application Guide SS-APG001-EN.
Optional Pressure Gauges
When a unit is ordered with optional pressure gauges, (“F” is included in the miscellaneous digit of the model number), a set of gauges and the necessary mounting hardware ship in the location illustrated in the Unit Component “Layout” and “Shipwith” Location. The mounting location and tubing configuration for the optional pressure gauges after field installation is shown below.
Installation
Final Refrigerant Pipe Connections
To access the refrigerant pipe connections, remove the louvered side grills.
These condensing units are shipped with a Nitrogen holding charge. Install pressure gauges to the appropriate access valve(s) and take a reading. If no pressure is present, refer to the “Leak Testing Procedure” section. If pressure is present, relieve the pressure before attempting to unsweat the “seal” caps. If refrigerant connections are not capped, but are “spun-end” tubes, use a tubing cutter to remove the end from the pipe.
Note: To prevent damage to the system, do not drill a hole in the seal caps or saw the ends off pipe
stubs. This may introduce copper chips into the system piping.

Brazing Procedures
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion and Deadly Gases!
Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant lines or any unit components that are above atmospheric pressure or where refrigerant may be present. Always remove refrigerant by following the guidelines established by the EPA Federal Clean Air Act or other state or local codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use dry nitrogen to bring system back to atmospheric pressure before opening system for repairs. Mixtures of refrigerants and air under pressure may become combustible in the presence of an ignition source leading to an explosion. Excessive heat from soldering, brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors present can form highly toxic gases and extremely corrosive acids. Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or serious injury.
Proper brazing techniques are essential when installing refrigerant piping. The following factors should be kept in mind when forming sweat connections.
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene, oxygen or compressed air or mixtures containing them for pressure testing. Do not use mixtures of a hydrogen containing refrigerant and air above atmospheric pressure for pressure testing as they may become flammable and could result in an explosion. Refrigerant, when used as a trace gas should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for pressurizing units. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage.
1. When copper is heated in the presence of air, Copper oxide forms. To prevent copper oxide from forming inside the tubing during brazing, sweep an inert gas, such as dry nitrogen, through the tubing. Nitrogen displaces air in the tubing and prevents oxidation of the interior surfaces. A nitrogen flow of one to three cubic feet per minute is sufficient to displace the air. Use a pressure regulating valve or flow meter to control the flow.
2. Ensure that the tubing surfaces to be brazed are clean, and that the ends of the tubes have been carefully reamed to remove any burrs.
3. Make sure the inner and outer tubes of the joint are symmetrical and have a close clearance, providing an easy slip fit. If the joint is too loose, the tensile strength of the connection will be significantly reduced. The overlap distance should be equal to the diameter of the inner tube.
4. Wrap the body of each refrigerant line component with a wet cloth to keep it cool during brazing. Move any tube entrance grommets away for the brazing area.
Note: Use 40 to 45% silver brazing alloy (BAg-7 or BAg-28) on dissimilar metals. Use BCup-6
brazing alloy on copper to copper joints.
5. If flux is used, apply it sparingly to the joint. Excessive flux can enter the system which will contaminate the refrigerant system.
6. Apply heat evenly over the length and circumference of the joint to draw the brazing material into the joint by capillary action. Remove the brazing rod and flame from the joint as soon as a complete fillet is formed to avoid possible restriction in the line.
7. Visually inspect the connection after brazing to locate any pin holes or crevices in the joint. The use of a mirror may be required, depending on the joint location.

Leak Testing Procedure
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene, oxygen or compressed air or mixtures containing them for pressure testing. Do not use mixtures of a hydrogen containing refrigerant and air above atmospheric pressure for pressure testing as they may become flammable and could result in an explosion. Refrigerant, when used as a trace gas should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for pressurizing units. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage.
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may occur. Use a leak test solution or other approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow recommended safe leak test procedures could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-damage.
When Leak-testing a refrigerant system, observe all safety precautions.
Installation
WARNING
Never use oxygen, acetylene or compressed air for leak testing. Always install a pressure regulator, shutoff valves and gauges to control pressure during leak testing. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
Trane condensing units are shipped with a Nitrogen holding charge. If there is no pressure, the unit must be leak tested to determine the location of leak as follows:
Note: These service procedures require working with refrigerant, Do NOT release refrigerant to
the atmosphere! The service technician must comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Refer to general service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Use refrigerant gas as a tracer for leak detection and use oil-pumped dry nitrogen to develop the required test pressure. Test the high and low side of the system at pressures dictated by local codes.
1. Close the field supplied liquid line service valve(s) installed near the evaporator and the compressor discharge service valve to isolate the system's high side from the low side. Pressure test the liquid line, discharge line, and condenser coils at pressures dictated by local codes. Do not exceed 10# above the pressure control settings.
2. Connect a refrigerant cylinder to the charging port of the liquid line service valve. Use the refrigerant to raise the high side pressure to 12 to 15 psig.
3. Disconnect the refrigerant cylinder. Connect a dry nitrogen cylinder to the charging port and increase the high side pressure. Do not exceed the condenser maximum working pressure listed on the unit nameplate.
4. Use a halide torch, halogen leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Check all piping joints, valves, etc...
5. If a leak is located, use proper procedures to remove the refrigerant/nitrogen mixture, break the connection and remake as a new joint. Retest for leaks after making repairs.
6. Repeat the test procedure for the low side of the system, charging through the suction pressure gauge port or through an access provided on the suction line by the installer. Increase the system pressure to 100 psig.

Remove this resistor when the sensor is installed. Shielded cable (Belden 8760 or equivalent) must be used when wiring the sensor to the terminal board inside the unit’s control panel.
When the sensor is installed, it serves two functions;
1. It sends the supply air temperature to the master energy controller (MEC), in the form of an analog input, to assist in the rate at which the system changes the space temperature. By offsetting the actual zone thermostat setpoint, up or down, the MEC can closer control the zone comfort level.
2. It serves as a low limit for the system when the supply air temperature reaches too high a delta tee between the actual supply air temperature and the zone temperature to help prevent overshooting of the zone thermostat setpoint.

System Pre-Start Procedures

Use the checklist provided below in conjunction with the “General Unit Requirement” checklist” to ensure that the unit is properly installed and ready for operation. Be sure to complete all of the procedures described in this section before starting the unit for the first time.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
[ ] Turn the field supplied disconnect switch, located upstream of the unit, to the “Off” position.
[ ] Turn the “System” selection switch (at the Remote Panel) to the “Off” position and the “Fan” selection switch (if applicable) to the “Auto” or “Off” position.
[ ] Check all electrical connections for tightness and “point of termination” accuracy.
[ ] Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
[ ] Check the condenser fan blades. Ensure they rotate freely within the fan orifices and are securely fastened to the fan motor shaft.
[ ] Disable the compressor (s) by unplugging the reset relay for each circuit. Refer to the unit-wiring diagram that sipped with the unit.
NOTICE
Compressor Damage!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter the suction line. Excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid lines could result in compressor damage.
[ ] Verify that all compressor service valves, discharge service valves, and liquid line service valves is back seated on each circuit.
COMPRESSOR SERVICE VALVES MUST BE FULLY OPENED BEFORE START-UP (SUCTION, DISCHARGE, LIQUID LINE, AND OIL LINE).
[ ] Remove the protective plastic coverings that shipped over the compressors.
[ ] Check the compressor oil levels. The oil level in each manifold set of compressor sight glasses should be equally 1/2 to 3/4 full when they are “Off”.
[ ] Pack Stock Units;
Two low pressure switches are installed at the factory. However, only one is wired into the control circuit. This is to facilitate either an EVP chiller application or an air over evaporator application. Before starting the system, verify that the correct pressure switch for the application is connected to the control circuit. Refer to Tab le 1 3 for the pressure control settings and the unit wiring diagram, that shipped with the unit, for the appropriate connections.
[ ] Check the condenser coils. They should be clean and the fins should be straight. Straighten any bent coil fins with an appropriate sized fin comb.
[ ] Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris.
EVP Chiller Applications
[ ] Fill the chilled water system.
[ ] Vent the chilled water system at the highest points in the system. Brazed plate heat exchangers should be purged with water through the field provided vent ports to displace any air in the heat exchanger. Shell and tube heat exchanges (chiller barrels) should have the vent plug removed
68 SS-SVX09A-EN
before filling with water to displace any air in the barrel. Close vent ports or replace the vent plug after purging or filling.
[ ] Once the system has been filled, inspect the entire chilled water piping system for leaks. Make any necessary repairs before proceeding.
NOTICE
To avoid possible equipment damage, do not use untreated or improperly treated system water.
[ ] Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris in preparation for starting the unit and complete the remainder of the “Pre-start” procedures before starting the unit.
System Evacuation Procedures
Each refrigeration circuit for split system applications must be evacuated before the unit can be started. Use a rotary type vacuum pump capable of pulling a vacuum of 100 microns or less. Verify that the unit disconnect switch and the system control circuit switches are “OFF”.
The oil in the vacuum pump should be changed each time the pump is used with a high quality vacuum pump oil. Before using any oil, check the oil container for discoloration which usually indicates moisture in the oil and/or water droplets. Moisture in the oil adds to what the pump has to remove from the system, making the pump inefficient.
When connecting the vacuum pump to a refrigeration system, it is important to manifold the vacuum pump to both the high and low side of the system (liquid line access valve and suction line access valve). Follow the pump manufacturer’s directions for the proper methods of using the vacuum pump.
The lines used to connect the pump to the system should be copper and of the largest diameter that can practically be used. Using larger line sizes with minimum flow resistance can significantly reduce evacuation time. Rubber or synthetic hoses are not recommended for system evacuation because they have moisture absorbing characteristics which result in excessive rates of evaporation, causing pressure rise during the standing vacuum test. This makes it impossible to determine if the system has a leak, excessive residual moisture, or a continual or high rate of pressure increase due to the hoses.
An electronic micron vacuum gauge should be installed in the common line ahead of the vacuum pump shutoff valve, as shown in Figure 34. Close Valves B and C, and open Valve A.
Start the vacuum pump, after several minutes, the gauge reading will indicate the maximum vacuum the pump is capable of pulling. Rotary pumps should produce vacuums of 100 microns or less.
System Pre-Start Procedures
NOTICE
Do not, under any circumstances, use a megohm meter or apply power to the windings of a compressor while it is under a vacuum. Electrical shorting between motor windings and/or housing can occur while in a vacuum, causing motor burnout.
Open Valves B and C. Evacuate the system to a pressure of 300 microns or less. As the vacuum is being pulled on the system, there could be a time when it would appear that no further vacuum is being obtained, yet, the pressure is high. It is recommended that during the evacuation process, the vacuum be “Broken”, to facilitate the evacuation process.
To break the vacuum;
Shutoff valves A, B, & C and connect a refrigerant cylinder to the charging port on the manifold. Purge the air from the hose. Raise the standing vacuum pressure in the system to “zero” (0 psig) gauge pressure. Repeat this process two or three times during evacuation.
SS-SVX09A-EN 69
System Pre-Start Procedures
Note: It is unlawful to release refrigerant into the atmosphere. When service procedures require
working with refrigerants, the service technician must comply with all Federal, State, and local laws. Refer to the General Service Bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Standing Vacuum Test
Once 300 microns or less is obtained, close Valve A and leave valves B and C open. This will allow the vacuum gauge to read the actual system pressure. Let the system equalize for approximately 15 minutes. This is referred to as a “standing vacuum test” where, time versus pressure rise. The maximum allowable rise over a 15 minute period is 200 microns. If the pressure rise is greater than 200 microns but levels off to a constant value, excessive moisture is present. If the pressure steadily continues to rise, a leak is indicated. Figure 35 illustrates three possible results of the “standing vacuum test”. If a leak is encounter, repair the system and repeat the evacuation process until the recommended vacuum is obtained. Once the system has been evacuated, break the vacuum with refrigerant, and complete the remaining “Pre-Start Procedures” before starting the unit.

Voltage Imbalance
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases will cause motors to overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is 2%. Measure and record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and calculate the amount of imbalance as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 X [(AV - VD)/(AV)] where;
AV (Average Voltage) = (Volt 1 + Volt 2 + Volt 3)/3
V1, V2, V3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the farthest from the average voltage.
Example: If the voltage readings of the supply power measured 221, 230, and 227, the average volts would be:
(221 + 230 + 227)/3 = 226 Avg.
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
100 X [(226 - 221)/226)] = 2.2%
The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the maximum allowable imbalance of 2.0%. This much imbalance between phases can equal as much as a 20% current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor winding temperatures that will decrease motor life. If the voltage imbalance is over 2%, notify the proper agencies to correct the voltage problem before operating this equipment.
Electrical Phasing
Proper electrical phasing can be quickly determined and corrected before starting the unit by using an instrument such as an Associated Research Model 45 Phase Sequence Indicator and following the steps below:
[ ] Turn the field supplied disconnect switch that provides power to terminal block 1TB1 to the “Off” position.
[ ] Connect the phase sequence indicator leads to the terminal block or to the “Line” side of the optional factory mounted disconnect switch as follows;
Black (phase A) to L1
Red (phase B) to L2
Yellow (phase C) to L3
[ ] Close the main power disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that provides the supply power to the condensing unit.
WARNING
High Voltage is Present at Terminal Block 1TB1 or Unit Disconnect Switch 1S1.
To prevent injury or death form electrocution, it is the responsibility of the technician to recognize this hazard and use extreme care when performing service procedures with the electrical power energized.
[ ] Observe the ABC and CBA phase indicator lights on the face of the sequencer. The ABC indicator light will glow if the phase is ABC. If the CBA indicator light glows, open the disconnect switch or circuit protection switch and reverse any two power wires.
[ ] Restore the main electrical power and recheck the phasing. If the phasing is correct.
[ ] Open the main power disconnect switch or circuit protection switch and remove the phase sequence indicator.

Sequence of Operation
VAV W7100A Discharge Air Controller (7U11)
The discharge air controller used in Variable Air Volume applications is a Honeywell W7100A. This microprocessor controller is designed to maintain an average discharge air (D/A) temperature by:
1. monitoring the discharge air temperature sensor; and
2. modulating economizer dampers and sequencing stages of mechanical cooling “On” or “Off”, as required.
The W7100A receives analog input from the discharge air sensor mounted in the supply duct every 2 to 3 seconds by pulsing DC current across the sensor, then “reading” the voltage potential across this thermistor.
If the comparison between the setpoint and the actual discharge air temperature indicates that cooling is required, the W7100A attempts to satisfy the load by modulating the economizer open (if applicable).
Economizer Cycle
The economizer is only allowed to function if the ambient conditions are below the setpoint of the enthalpy switch.
If the ambient air conditions are above the enthalpy setpoint, the W7100A will open the Fresh Air dampers to the minimum setpoint position.
To take full advantage of the “free cooling” provided by the economizer, the W7100A “resets” the discharge air setpoint. The amount of “reset” between the actual discharge air setpoint and the economizer control point is equal to 1/2 of the W7100’s control band setpoint.
Example: With a typical control band setting of 6oF, the amount of discharge air “reset” is 3ºF (1/ 2 of the control band setpoint). Therefore, if the discharge air setpoint is 55ºF, the economizer control point is 52ºF (i.e., 55ºF - 3ºF).
A second economizer “algorithm” within the W7100A is the response time of the controller. The greater the amount of deviation between the discharge air temperature and the economizer control point, i.e., as the temperature strays further from the control point, the response time becomes faster; and, as the discharge air temperature approaches the control point, the response time becomes slower.
When the discharge air temperature is within the “Deadband” (± 1.5ºF of the economizer control point); the W7100A maintains the economizer’s present position.
When the economizer can not handle the cooling requirement or when the outdoor ambient conditions are unsuitable for “economizing”, the W7100A activates the unit’s mechanical cooling section.
Note: As long as ambient conditions are suitable for economizing, the economizer works in
conjunction with the mechanical cooling operation.
The control algorithm used by the W7100A to add stages of cooling is illustrated in Figure 41. When the discharge air temperature drifts above the setpoint, “Region 1”, a stage of mechanical cooling is added based on time and the amount of deviation from setpoint. If the discharge air temperature remains above the setpoint, the W7100A energizes additional stages of mechanical cooling.
If the operating cooling stage is capable of satisfying the cooling requirement, as the discharge air temperature falls below the setpoint for a sufficient period of time, the W7100A turns the stages of mechanical cooling “Off”, “Region 3”.
The W7100A determines the length of the time before stages of mechanical cooling are turned “On” and “Off”. When the system is operating within the control band, the delay is longest at setpoint, and decreases to a minimum of 4 minutes when the discharge air temperature exceeds the upper or lower limit of the control band. Refer to the illustration in Figure 41.

Chilled Water Temperature Controller (6U11)
The chilled water temperature controller used with EVP chiller applications is a Honeywell W7100G. This microprocessor controller is designed to maintain an average leaving water temperature using an integrating control band concept that matches the required operating capacity to the chiller load. The integral action, unlike “proportional only” type controllers, minimizes the amount of offset from the control setpoint.
The control band setting is centered on the leaving water setpoint. It is adjustable from 0ºF to 10ºF [0ºC to 6ºC] and is used to stabilize system operation.
The control algorithm used by the W7100G to add stages of cooling is illustrated in Figure 42. As the water temperature rises above the upper control band limit, a stage of mechanical cooling is added, provided the minimum “Off” time has been satisfied (Point A). The minimum “fast response” time and the time delay between staging for the W7100G is set for 60 seconds.
If the water temperature remains above the upper control band limit (Point B), the next available stage of cooling will be energized when the minimum time delay between stages has elapsed.
As the water temperature decreases below the lower control band, the last stage that was turned “On” will be cycled “Off” (Point C) when the minimum “On” time for that stage has elapsed.
As the load on the water increases due to cooling stages being cycled “Off”, the controller will maintain it’s current position, i.e., no staging of cooling “On” or “Off”, as long as the temperature remains inside the control band.
When the temperature increases above the upper control band limit (Point D), mechanical cooling stages will be sequenced “On” in the same manner as before. As a rule, any time the water temperature is above the upper control band limit, a stage of cooling will be “added” and anytime the water temperature decreases below the lower control band limit, a stage of cooling will be “Subtracted”.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve
The reliability and performance of the refrigeration system is heavily dependent upon proper expansion valve adjustment. Therefore, the importance of maintaining the proper superheat cannot be over emphasized. Accurate measurements of superheat will provide the following information.
1. How well the expansion valve is controlling the refrigerant flow.
2. The efficiency of the evaporator coil.
3. The amount of protection the compressor is receiving against flooding or overheating.
The recommended range for superheat is 10 to 16 degrees at the evaporator. Systems operating with less than 10 degrees of superheat:
84 SS-SVX09A-EN
System Start-Up
a. Could cause serious compressor damage due to refrigerant floodback.
b. Removes working surface from the evaporator normally used for heat transfer.
Systems operating with superheat in excess of 16 degrees:
c. Could cause excessive compressor cycling on internal winding thermostat which leads to
compressor motor failure.
d. Lowers the efficiency of the evaporator by reducing the heat transfer capability.
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65ºF and 105ºF and the relative humidity of the air entering the evaporator must be above 40 percent. When the temperatures are outside of these ranges, measuring the operating pressures can be meaningless.
Figure 42. W7100G Staging Sequence
Condenser Fans
Condenser fan cycling is accomplished through interlocking the fan contactors with liquid line pressure switches (4S11 and 4S12). When the low ambient damper option is applied, ambient thermostats (1S36 & 1S37) are used to provide additional fan cycling control on “No System Control”, Constant Volume, and Variable Air Volume applications. Figure 43 illustrates the condenser fan locations with their respective fan and relay designator.
When a cooling command has been initiated (circuit #1, first step), condenser fans 2B1, 2B2, and 2B3 are held “Off” by the liquid line pressure switch (4S11) and normally open interlock contacts 1K5 & 1K6. Once the pressure switch has closed (275 psig), condenser fan relay 1K5 is energized starting fan 2B1. The normally open interlock contacts 1K5 closes, energizing fan contactor 1K6, starting fan 2B2. When the normally open interlock contacts 1K6 close, they seal 1K6 contactor in the “On” position until the cooling demand has been satisfied. Condenser fan 2B3 on 25, 30, 50 & 60 Ton units is not allowed to start until compressor relay 1K13 has energized and the low ambient thermostat (1S36, if applicable) has closed.
If a second step cooling command is initiated, (circuit #2), condenser fans 2B4, 2B5, and 2B6 are held “Off” by the liquid line pressure switch (4S12) and normally open interlock contacts 1K8 & 1K9. Once the pressure switch has closed (275 psig), condenser fan relay 1K8 is energized starting fan 2B4. The normally open interlock contacts 1K8 closes, energizing fan contactor 1K9, starting fan 2B5. When the normally open interlock contacts 1K9 close, they seal 1K9 contactor in the “On” position until the cooling demand has been satisfied. Condenser fan 2B6 on 50 and 60 Ton units is not allowed to start until compressor relay 1K14 has energized and the low ambient thermostat (1S37, if applicable) has closed.

Low Ambient Dampers
Low Ambient Dampers are available as a factory installed option or can be field-installed. Dampers are used to extend the operation of these units from the standard operational temperatures to a minimum of 0ºF without hot gas bypass or 10ºF with hot gas bypass. (These values apply when wind speed across the condenser coil is less than 5 m.p.h.). If typical wind speeds are higher than 5 m.p.h., a wind screen around the unit may be required. By restricting the airflow across the condenser coils, saturated condensing temperatures can be maintained as the ambient temperatures change.
The low ambient damper actuator controls damper modulation for each refrigerant circuit in response to saturated condensing temperature.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater and is controlled by a 600 volt auxiliary switch on the compressor contactor. The proper operation of the crankcase heater is important to maintain an elevated compressor oil temperature during the “Off” cycle to reduce oil foaming during compressor starts.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in crankcase pressure causes the liquid refrigerant to boil rapidly causing the oil to foam. This condition could damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
When power has been “Off” for an extended period, allow the crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours before starting the unit.
Pump Down
Each circuit will go into a pump down cycle when the last compressor on that circuit is turned "Off". During pump down, the solenoid valves are closed, the reset circuit is bypassed and the compressor will continue to run until the 30 psig pressure switch opens.
86 SS-SVX09A-EN
Low Ambient Thermostats
In addition to the low ambient dampers on 25, 30, 50 & 60 Ton units, a low ambient thermostat is installed to further restrict the airflow across the condenser by cycling the 2B3 condenser fan on 25 & 30 Ton units plus 2B6 on 50 & 60 Ton units. The thermostat opens when the ambient temperature reaches 30ºF and closes at approximately 33ºF.
Hot Gas Bypass Operation
The HGBP valve regulates evaporator pressure by opening as suction pressure decreases, to maintain a desired minimum evaporating pressure regardless of a decrease in evaporator external loading.
When the evaporator (suction) pressure is above the valve’s setpoint, it remains closed. As suction pressure falls below the valve’s setpoint, the valve begins to open. The valve will continue to open at a rate proportional to the suction pressure drop, thus maintaining evaporator pressure.
Hot gas bypass valves are adjustable and should be set to begin opening at approximately 58 psig suction pressure and reach the full open position at 51 psig for DX coil applications. For EVP chiller applications, the regulator should be adjusted to begin opening at approximately 69 psig suction pressure and reach full open position at 61 psig.
Low Ambient Damper Adjustment (Factory or Field Installed)
When a unit is ordered with the low ambient option (i.e., Digit 11 is a “1” in the model number), a damper is factory installed over the lead condenser fan for each refrigeration circuit. Refer to the appropriate unit illustrated in Figure 43 for the damper locations.
For field installation, mount the dampers over the condenser fans at the locations shown in
Figure 43 and connect the actuator, controller, and sensor for each circuit. (Refer to the Installation
Instructions provided with each low ambient damper kit.)
The controller has a factory default setpoint of 105 F. This setpoint can be adjusted by installing a field supplied resistor on 2TB34 in the low ambient control panel located in the back of the main control panel. (See the low ambient wiring diagram, that shipped with the unit or with the field kit, for resistance values and installation location.)

WARNING
Live Electrical Components!
During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary to work with live electrical components. Have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been properly trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical components could result in death or serious injury.
Inspect the damper blades for proper alignment and operation. Dampers should be in the closed position during the “Off” cycle. If adjustment is required;
1. Remove the sensor leads from the input terminals 6 and 7 for circuit #1 and/or 11 and 12 for circuit #2. (Controller output signal will go to 0.0 VDC and the damper will drive to the closed position.)
2. Loosen the damper shaft “Locking” set screws on the actuator
3. Firmly hold the damper blades in the closed position
4. Retighten the “Locking” set screws.
To check damper operation, jumper between the sensor input terminals 6 and 7 and/or 11 and 12 (if applicable). Controller output signal will go to 10 VDC and the damper will drive to the full open position.

Verifying Proper Supply Fan Rotation
1. Ensure that the “System” selection switch at the remote panel is in the “Off” position and the “Fan” selection switch for the appropriate controls application is in the “Auto” position. (VAV units do not utilize a “Fan” selection input.)
2. Turn the main power disconnect switch or circuit protector switch for the unit to the “On” position.
3. Turn the 115 volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “On” position.
WARNING
Rotating Components!
Verifying proper components rotation exposes you to rotating components. Have a qualified or licensed service individual who has been properly trained in handling exposed rotating components, perform this task. Failure to follow all safety precautions when exposed to rotating components could result in death or serious injury.
4. Turn the field provided disconnect switch for the supply fan to the “On” position and “bump” the field supplied control circuit switch “On”, (i.e., “On” then immediately “Off”).
5. While the fan is coasting down, check the rotation. If the fan is rotating backwards, turn the field provided disconnect switch for the air handler to the “Off” position and interchange any two of the main power wires at the fan motor starter or contactor.
6. After all adjustments have been made, restart the supply fan and proceed through the following procedures.
System Start-Up
System Airflow Measurement
Much of the systems performance and reliability is closely associated with, and dependent upon having the proper airflow supplied both to the space that is being conditioned and across the evaporator coil.
With the supply fan rotating in the proper direction, measure the amperage at the supply fan contactor. If the amperage exceeds the motor nameplate value, the static pressure is less than design and the airflow is too high. If the amperage is below the motor nameplate value, static pressure may be too high and CFM may be too low. To determine the actual CFM (± 5%);
a. Measure the actual fan RPM
b. Calculate the Theoretical BHP
i. (Actual Motor Amps X Motor HP)/Motor Nameplate Amps
c. Plot this data onto the appropriate Fan Performance Curve or Performance Table that
shipped with the Air Handling equipment. Where the two points intersect, read the CFM line.
Use this data to assist in calculating a new fan drive if the CFM is not at design specifications.
An alternate method with less accuracy is to measure the static pressure drop across the evaporator coil. This can be accomplished by;
1. Drilling a small hole through the unit casing on each side of the coil.
NOTICE
Coil damage can occur if care is not taken when drilling holes in this area.
2. Measure the difference between the pressures at both locations.
SS-SVX09A-EN 89
System Start-Up
3. Plot this value onto the appropriate component pressure drop curve that shipped with the Air Handling equipment. Use the data to assist in calculating a new fan drive if the CFM is not at design specifications.
4. Plug the holes after the proper CFM has been established.
Turn the 115 volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “OFF” position and open the field provided or optional factory mounted disconnect switch.
After all adjustments have been made, proceed through the following procedures.
Compressor Start-Up (All Systems)
CAUTION
Compressor Damage!
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to enter the suction line. Excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid lines may result in compressor damage.
1. Before closing the field provided or optional factory mounted disconnect switch at the unit, ensure that the compressor discharge service valve and the liquid line service valve for each circuit is back seated.
COMPRESSOR SERVICE VALVES MUST BE FULLY OPENED BEFORE START-UP (SUCTION, DISCHARGE, LIQUID LINE, AND OIL LINE).
2. If the system has been previously charged before starting, disable the compressor(s) by unplugging the reset relay for each circuit. Refer to the unit-wiring diagram that sipped with the unit. Turn the main power disconnect to the “On” position and allow the crankcase heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours before continuing.
NOTICE
Compressor Damage could occur if the crankcase heater is not allowed to operate the minimum 8 hours before starting the compressor(s).
3. Attach a set of service gauges onto the suction and discharge gauge ports for each circuit.
4. Charge liquid refrigerant into the liquid line of each refrigerant circuit with the required amount of R-22. Refrigerant should be charged into the system by weight. Use an accurate scale or a charging cylinder to monitor the amount of refrigerant entering the system. Refer to for the required amount of refrigerant for the condensing unit.
If the pressure within the system equalizes with the pressure in the charging cylinder before charging is completed, complete the process by charging into the suction (low) side of the system after the system has been started.
Ta b l e 1 5 gives the minimum starting temperatures for both “Standard” & “Low” Ambient
units.
Do not attempt to charge the system with the low ambient dampers and/or hot gas bypass operating (if applicable). Disable the low ambient dampers in the “Open” position (refer to the “Low Ambient Damper Adjustment” section) and de-energize the hot gas bypass solenoid valves before proceeding.
5. On units with dual circuits, start only one circuit at a time. To disable the compressors, unplug the appropriate lockout relay inside the unit control panel. Refer to sequencing and Figure 45 for their location.
6. Close the “High Side” valve on the manifold gauge set.
7. Set the “System” selection switch to the “Cool” position

Verifying proper components rotation exposes you to rotating components. Have a qualified or licensed service individual who has been properly trained in handling exposed rotating components, perform this task. Failure to follow all safety precautions when exposed to rotating components could result in death or serious injury.
9. Turn the 115-volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “On” position.
a. Once each compressor or compressor pair has started, verify that the rotation is correct. If
a scroll compressor is rotating backwards, it will not pump and a loud rattling sound can be observed.
b. Check the condenser fans for proper rotation. The direction of rotation is clockwise when
viewed from the top of the unit.
All Motors are Rotating Backwards;
i. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that provides power
to the condensing unit to the “Off” position. Lock the disconnect switch in the open position while working at the unit.
ii. Interchange any two of the field connected main power wires at the unit terminal block
1TB1 or the optional factory mounted non-fused disconnect switch (1S1) in the unit control panel.
Note: Interchanging “Load” side power wires at the contactors will only affect the individual fan
rotation. Ensure that the voltage phase sequence at the main terminal block 1TB1 is ABC as outlined in the “Electrical Phasing” section.
Some Motors are Rotating Backwards;
iii. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that provides power
to the condensing unit to the “Off” position. Lock the disconnect switch in the open position while working at the unit.
iv. If the electrical phasing is correct, interchange any two of the motor leads at the contactor
for each motor that is rotating backwards. Before condemning a compressor, interchange any two leads (at the compressor Terminal block) to check the internal phasing. Refer to the illustration in Figure 46 for the compressor terminal/phase identification. If the compressor runs backward for an extended period (15 to 30 minutes), the motor winding can overheat and cause the motor winding thermostat to open.
10. With the compressors operating, slowly open the “Low Side” valve on the manifold gauge set. The remainder of the refrigerant will be drawn into the system.
NOTICE
To prevent compressor damage due to no refrigerant flow, do not utilize the compressors to pump the system down below 7 PSIG under any circumstances.
SS-SVX09A-EN 91
System Start-Up
11. After the compressors and condenser fans for the operating circuit have been operating for approximately 30 minutes, observe the operating pressures. Use the appropriate pressure curve in indicate a refrigerant shortage, measure the system superheat and system subcooling.
Note: Do Not release refrigerant to the atmosphere! If adding or removing refrigerant is required,
Figure 47 to determine the proper operating pressures. If the operating pressures
the service technician must comply with all Federal, State and local laws. Refer to general service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Subcooling
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65ºF and 105ºF and the relative humidity of the air entering the evaporator must be above 40 percent. When the temperatures are outside of these ranges, measuring the operating pressures can be meaningless.
With the unit operating at “Full Circuit Capacity”, acceptable subcooling ranges between 14ºF to 22ºF.
Measuring Subcooling
a. At the liquid line service valve, measure the liquid line pressure. Using a Refrigerant 22
pressure/temperature chart, convert the pressure reading into the corresponding saturated temperature.
b. Measure the actual liquid line temperature as close to the liquid line service valve as
possible. To ensure an accurate reading, clean the line thoroughly where the temperature sensor will be attached. After securing the sensor to the line, insulate the sensor and line to isolate it from the ambient air.
Note: Glass thermometers do not have sufficient contact area to give an accurate reading.
c. Determine the system subcooling by subtracting the actual liquid line temperature
(measured in b) from the saturated liquid temperature (converted in a).
Measuring Superheat
d. Measure the suction pressure at the outlet of the evaporator as close to the expansion valve
bulb location as possible.
e. Measured the suction line temperature as close to the expansion valve bulb, as possible.
f. Using a Refrigerant/Temperature chart, convert the pressure reading to a corresponding
saturated vapor temperature.
Note: On many Trane fan/coil units, an access valve is provided close to the expansion valve bulb
location. This valve must be added on climate changers and other evaporators.
g. Subtract the saturated vapor temperature (converted in c), from the actual suction line
temperature (measured in b). The difference between the two temperatures is known as “superheat”.
12. Verify that the oil level in each compressor is correct. The oil level may be down to the bottom of the sight glass but should never be above the sight glass.
13. Once the checks and adjustments for the operating circuit has been completed, check and record the:
ambient temperature;
compressor oil level (each circuit);
compressor suction and discharge pressures (each circuit);
superheat and subcooling (each circuit);
Record this data on an “operator’s maintenance log” shown in Ta b l e 18 . Repeat these procedures for the second refrigeration circuit, if applicable.
92 SS-SVX09A-EN
System Start-Up
14. Turn the 115-volt control circuit switch 1S2 to the “OFF” position and open the field provided or optional factory mounted disconnect switch.
15. After shutting the system off, check the compressor oil appearance. Discoloration of the oil indicates that an abnormal condition has occurred. If the oil is dark and smells burnt, it has overheated because of: compressor is operating at extremely high condensing temperatures; high superheat; a compressor mechanical failure; or, occurrence of a motor burnout.
If the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a mechanical failure has occurred. This symptom is often accompanied by a high compressor amperage draw.
If a motor burnout is suspected, use an acid test kit to check the condition of the oil. Test results will indicate an acid level exceeding 0.05 mg KOH/g if a burnout occurred.
Compressor Oil
The scroll compressor uses Trane OIL-42 without substitution. The appropriate oil charge for a 9 and 10 Ton scroll compressor is 8.5 pints. For a 14 and 15 Ton scroll compressor, use 13.8 pints.
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
9 and 10 ton scroll compressors have a 100-watt heater installed. 14 and 15 ton scroll compressors have two 80-watt heaters installed per compressor.
