General

The evaporator of indoor unit is charged with refrigerant in factory for pressure maintaining. The cut-off valve can be opened only when installation and vacuuming is done. The drain pan must be at least 2″ away from a standard gas-fired furnace heat exchanger and at least 4″-6″ away from any drum-type or oil-fired furnace heat exchanger, depending on furnace model. Closer spacing may damage the drain pan and cause a leak.
Refer to the Product Specification for the proper use of these coils with specific furnaces, air handlers, condensers and line sets.

Piping Preparation

Solder Connection
All cut ends are to be round, burr free, and cleaned. Failure to follow this practice increases the chances for refrigerant leakage.

Screw Connection

1. It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into waste pipe or other pipelines which are likely to produce corrosive or peculiar smell to prevent the smell from entering indoors or corrupt the unit.
2. It is not allowed to connect the condensate drain pipe into rain pipe to prevent rain water from pouring in and cause property loss or personal injury.
3. Condensate drain pipe should be connected into special drain system for air conditioner.
4. The drain pan has primary and secondary drain connection. Condensate removal is performed by attaching a 3/4” PVC pipe to the evaporator coil pan and terminated in accordance with local or state Plumbing/HVAC codes. The installation must include a “P” style trap that is located closely to the evaporator coil. Do not over-tighten the drain connection in order to prevent possible damage to the evaporator drain pan. See the following figure for details of a typical condensate line “P” trap.

Ductwork
This coil is designed for a complete supply and return ductwork system.

WARNING

• Do not operate the unit without all ductwork completed.
• Do not operate this product without all ductwork attached.
• Inadequate ductwork that restricts airflow can result in improper performance and compressor or heater failure. Ductwork is to be constructed in a manner that limits restrictions and maintains suitable air velocity. Ductwork is to be sealed to the unit in a manner that will prevent leakage.

Return ductwork: Do not terminate the return ductwork in an area that can introduce toxic or objectionable fumes/odors into the ductwork. The return ductwork is to be introduced into the coil. Return Air Filters: Each installation must include a return air filter. This filtering may be performed at the coil or externally such as a return air filter grille.

Unit Installation

WARNING
Risk of explosion or fire. Can cause injury or death.

Install the furnace or blower and condensing unit according to the installation instructions provided with the unit. Position the cased coil on top of the furnace or blower cabinet and secure it using field-provided screws.

NOTE : If the coil is to be installed on an oil furnace, it may be necessary to install a field-installed transition between the furnace and the coil to prevent airflow restriction and possible damage to the coil drain pan. See the oil furnace installation instructions for details. A stable connection is required between the coil and the blower to prevent dumping. Based upon the actual conditions, if coil is installed as Fig (A), the coil should be concealed in a specific room or space and make sure the coil is not accessible to the general public. Based upon the actual conditions, if coil is installed as Fig (B), make sure that there is enough space for care and maintenance. And the coil is not accessible to the general public.

.Based upon the actual conditions, Multi-Position A-Coils come factory installed with a vertical and horizontal drain pans and can be configured for upflow or horizontal pull-through installations. When the coil matches blower, the side which is nearby from coil is NOT allowed to install electric heater kit. Recommended configuring is as shown below.

1. Standard Application: Left hand shown / Right hand similar (not shown)
2. Counter flow: Right hand shown / Left hand similar (not shown)
3. Upward flow
4. Downward flow

When the coil matches the furnace, temperature of air flow which come from outlet of furnace must be required a maximum of 200℉. Recommended configuring is as shown below.

1. Standard Application: Right hand shown / Left hand similar (not shown)
2. Counter flow: Left hand shown / Right hand similar (not shown)
3. Downward flow
4. Upward flow

If the air inlet of furnace (or blower) is different with the air outlet of coil in size, it may be necessary to install a field-installed transition between the furnace (or blower) and the coil to proper airflow distribution (as shown in figure (a).) Coil should be pitched slightly toward the drain connection. It is recommended to add silicone caulk between drain pans to prevent water seepage.

Sealing Ducts
There must be an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the return air plenum. Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the air handler cabinet to ensure a tight seal. Return air must not be drawn from a room where the air handler or any gas-fueled appliance (i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed. Ensure that the duct is secured and all joints are properly sealed to the coil cabinet flanges. All indoor cabinets MUST be taped after installation to seal against any air leaks. System performance and efficiency will be reduced if air leakage exists. There must be sealed with sponge or other thermal insulation material where around the cut-off valves to prevent air leakage or water seepage. It is necessary to paste sponge seal around the air outlet to prevent leakage.

Leak Testing, Vacuuming and Charging
Refer to the outdoor unit instruction for leak testing, vacuuming and charging. Always leak check entire system before charging. When vacuuming, you need to vacuum the liquid and gas pipe at the same time, and do not open the cut-off valve of coil until vacuum finished.

Blower Speed Selection
Proper air volume must be provided over the evaporator coil. Select a blower motor speed tap that will provide 300-450 CFM per 12,000 Btu/h of cooling capacity (wet coil). Recommended air flow volume as shown in Table 1.
