FEATURES

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM (continued)

Refrigerant Flow Control

  • Units applicable to expansion valve systems or RFC systems when matched with specific indoor coils

RFCIV:

  • Accurately metersvolumetric efficiency and quiet refrigerant in system
  •  Refrigerant control is accomplished by exact sizing of refrigerant metering orifice

Optional Accessories

  • Field installed on certain indoor units
  • See TXV Usage Table
  • Chatleff-style fittings

Freezestat

  • Senses suction line temperature
  • Cycles compressor off when suction line temperature falls below it’s setpoint
  • Opens at 29°F and closes at 58°F
  • Installs on or near the discharge line of the evaporator or on the suction line

Loss of Charge Switch Kit

  • Protects compressor from damage from low refrigerant charge conditions
  • SPST
  • Normally-closed
  • Automatic reset

Refrigerant Line Kits

  • Refrigerant lines are shipped refrigeration clean
  • Lines are cleaned, dried, pressurized and sealed at factory
  • Suction line fully insulated
  • Lines are stubbed at both ends

NOTE – Not available for -060 models and must be field fabricated

COMPRESSOR

Scroll Compressor

  • High efficiency with uniform suction flow
  • Constant discharge flow, high volumetric efficiency and quiet operation
  • Low gas pulses during compression reduces operational sound levels
  • Compressor motor is internally protected from excessive current and temperature
  • Muffler in discharge line reduces operating sound levels
  • Compressor is installed in the unit on resilient rubber mounts for vibration free operation

Scroll Compressor Operation

  • Two involute spiral scrolls matched together generate a series of crescent-shaped gas pockets between them
  • During compression, one scroll remains stationary while the other scroll orbits around it
  • Gas is drawn into the outer pocket, the pocket is sealed as the scroll rotates
  • As the spiral movement continues, gas pockets are pushed to the center of the Volume between the pockets is simultaneously reduced
  • When the pocket reaches the center, gas is now at high pressure and is forced out of a port located in the center of the fixed scrolls
  • During compression, several pockets are compressed simultaneously resulting in a smooth continuous compression cycle
  • Continuous flank contact, maintained by centrifugal force, minimizes gas leakage and maximizes efficiency
  • Compressor is tolerant to the effects of slugging and If this occurs, scrolls separate, allowing liquid or contaminants to be worked toward the center and discharged Optional Accessories     Compressor Crankcase Heater
  • Protects against refrigerant migration that can occur during low ambient operation

Compressor Sound Cover

  • Reinforced vinyl compressor cover
  • 1-1/2 inch thick batt of fiberglass insulation
  • Hook and loop fastening tape on all open edges

CX35 and CHX35 coils and all Lennox air handlers are shipped with a factory installed TXV. In most cases, no change out of the valve is needed.
If a change out is required it will be listed in the “TXV SUBSTITUTIONS” table by size. The correct TXV must be ordered separately and field installed.
C35 and CH35 coils – Use the RFC orifice shipped with the outdoor unit or replace the factory installed RFC orifice with the expansion valve listed.
CR33 and CH23 coils – Use the RFC orifice shipped with the outdoor unit or use the expansion valve listed.

**AHR I STANDAR D 210/ 240**

Cooling or heating capacities are net values, including the effects of blower motor heat, and do not include supplementary heat. Power input is the total power input to the compressor(s) and fan(s), plus any controls and other items required as part of the system for normal operation.

Units which do not have an indoor air-circulating blower furnished as part of the model, i.e., split system with indoor coil only, is established by subtracting from the total cooling capacity 1250 Btu/h per 1,000 cfm, and by adding the same amount to the heating capacity. Total power input for both heating and cooling is increased by 365 W per 1,000 cfm of indoor air circulated.

TXV SUBSTITUTION

A general guide for replacing the factory installed TXV if the indoor unit (coil/air handler) is larger or smaller than the outdoor unit.
