ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
NOTE: All installers should follow the wiring diagram attached to the
equipment electrical compartment cover.
WARNING
All wiring and connections to the unit must be made in accordance with
national as well as local electrical codes and by-laws.
Electrical wiring should be sized in accordance with the minimum circuit
ampacity (MCA) shown on the unit nameplate and applicable electrical codes.
The unit power connections are approved for copper wire only.
Connect the field power supply through a properly sized branch circuit
protection disconnect switch. The entering service fuse must not exceed the
maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) value on the unit data plate.
All systems should use a liquid line solenoid valve (installed at the
evaporator) and should be energized by the room or fixture thermostat. For
systems with a defrost time clock, the liquid line solenoid and thermostat
should be energized by the time clock. Initially set the defrost time clock
(model 8145) as follows:
Air defrost evaporators; 3 per day (every 8 hours) with the time termination
at 45 minutes.
Field connected control circuit wires are terminated directly at the control circuit terminal block in accordance with the appropriate wiring diagram.
Voltage at the unit terminals must not vary more than the allowable variation during start-up and while under full load. If the voltage is normal at the supply with the compressor not running and drops considerably when the switch is closed and the motor is trying to start, there is a high resistance due to undersized wires or faulty connections. Voltage drop between inoperative and full load must not exceed 3% of line voltage. In addition, the phase imbalance at the motor terminals should be within 2% on three phase units.

termination thermostat is wired to terminal “X” on the clock and terminates
the defrost cycle when the evaporator coil reaches approximately 55 °F. The
fan delay thermostat wiring should also be checked for proper operation. This
ensures that all water droplets have been refrozen to the coil before the
evaporator fan starts back up.
Note: The above settings are guidelines only and must be re-adjusted to suit
local field conditions and actual evaporator equipment specifications.
Refer to the evaporator installation manual for further information.

REFRIGERANT PIPING
WARNING
All local codes must be observed in the installation of refrigerant piping.
IMPORTANT PIPING NOTE
Appropriate line sizing practices must be used throughout the installation of
the refrigeration system. Special consideration must be taken when the
condensing unit is installed above the evaporator. REFRIGERATION GRADE COPPER
TUBING MUST BE USED FOR PIPING SYSTEMS.
Piping practice and line sizing charts as recommended by A.S.H.R.A.E. or other
reputable refrigeration standards must be followed to ensure minimum pressure
drop and correct oil return. An inert gas such as dry nitrogen should be
passed through the piping during welding or brazing operations. This reduces
or eliminates oxidation of the copper and formation of scale inside the
piping. For specific piping requirements refer to your local distributor or
sales representative.
Correct line sizing is most critical because of the several factors involved:
(a) Minimum pressure drop to ensure efficient compressor performance.
(b) Sufficient gas velocity to maintain proper oil return to the compressor
under all load conditions.
(c) Elimination of conditions on multiple evaporators whereby oil may log in
an idle evaporator.
Suction lines should be sized on the basis of a maximum total pressure drop
equivalent to a 2°F (1.1°C) change in saturated temperature.
Horizontal liquid lines should be sized on a basis of a maximum pressure drop
equivalent to a 2°F (1.1°C) drop in the sub-cooling temperature. If the lines
must travel up vertically then adequate sub-cooling must be provided to
overcome the vertical liquid head pressures. A head of two feet of liquid
refrigerant is approximately equivalent to 1 psig (6.9 kPa). Liquid line
velocities should not exceed 300 fpm (1.52 m/s). This will prevent possible
liquid hammering when the solenoid valve closes.

REFRIGERANT PIPING (cont’d)
At the temperatures encountered in the condenser, receiver and liquid line a certain amount of oil is always being circulated with the refrigerant through the system by the compressor. However, at the evaporator temperature, and with the refrigerant in a vapor state, the oil and refrigerant separate. This oil can only be returned to the compressor by gravity or by entrainment in the suction gas. Roof installations leave no alternative but by entrainment for oil return, so suction gas velocity and correct line sizing to maintain this velocity are imperative. Care must be taken
not to oversize the suction line in the desire for maximum performance.
Gas velocity in vertical suction lines must not be less than 1,000 fpm (5 m/s)
and preferably 1,250 to 1,500 fpm (6 to 8 m/s). Important: A suction trap must
be installed at the base of all suction risers of four (4) feet or more in
order to trap oil and allow entrainment in the suction gas.
TYPICAL SUCTION P-TRAP
IMPORTANT PIPING NOTE
If steps of capacity control are supplied on a compressor, provisions must be
made for oil return by sizing suction risers to maintain adequate gas
velocities at reduced refrigerant flow.
During the lower capacity running mode (compressor capacity control energized) oil will collect in the elbow or at U-bend below pipe “B”. This will divert the gas and oil to flow up the smaller pipe “A” at a higher velocity.
IMPORTANT: When welding service valves or any components that may be damaged by heat, manufacturer’s installation instructions must be adhered to. Wrapping components with a wet cloth will help to prevent damage from heat.
IMPORTANT: All suction lines outside of the refrigerated space must be insulated.

LINE INSULATION
After the final system leak test is complete, it is important that all
refrigerant lines exposed to high ambient conditions
must be insulated to reduce the heat pick-up and prevent
the formation of flash gas in the liquid lines. Suction lines should be
insulated with 3/4 inch wall insulation,
Armstrong “Armaflex” or equal. To prevent rupture due to condensate re-
freezing, all suction vibration eliminators
on low temperature systems MUST BE COMPLETELY INSULATED. Liquid lines exposed to high ambient temperatures should be insulated with 1/2 inch wall insulation or better. Any insulation that is to be located in an outdoor environment should be protected from UV exposure to prevent deterioration of the insulating value.
REFRIGERANT CHARGING
Condensing units must be charged only with the refrigerant for which they were designed. The type of refrigerant to be used is specified on the name plate of the unit. Installing a liquid line drier between the service gauge and the liquid service port when charging a unit will ensure the refrigerant supplied to the system is clean and dry. This is especially important when charging a low
temperature system. Blend type refrigerants (400 series, i.e. R404A) must not
be vapor charged unless the cylinder is completely emptied into the system.
Weigh the refrigerant drum before and after charging in order to keep an
accurate record of the weight of refrigerant put into the system.
IMPORTANT REFRIGERANT CHARGING NOTE
Overcharging a system can result in poor system performance, personal injury
and / or compressor damage. DO NOT charge strictly by the holding capacity of
the receiver. DO NOT assume that bubbles in a sight glass, when located at the
condensing unit, indicates the system is undercharged.
Note: To estimate the total system requirement, refer to the manufacturer’s
evaporator and condensing unit specifications on typical operating charges and
include the amount for the liquid lines (see tables below). Allow an extra 10%
to 15% safety factor. Ensure the receiver can handle the required charge
during the pump down mode. (Refer to the condensing unit brochure pump down
specifications).
Break the vacuum by charging liquid refrigerant into the receiver side only
(charge through the receiver outlet valve gauge port with the valve in the
open position). Close the valve and then continue to charge through the gauge
port feeding the liquid line and evaporator. Start the compressor and continue
to charge.
Refrigerant may be added at the compressor through the compressor suction
service valve in gas form only. When liquid charging is used, a liquid
charging valve must be installed. While charging the system, special attention
should be paid to the oil level in the compressor.
If charging to the “bubble” method (observing liquid line sight glass), always
use a sight glass located directly before the TXV (thermostatic expansion
valve) for the final indicator.

REFRIGERANT CHARGING – VALVE SYSTEMS
DUAL OR ADJUSTABLE LAC VALVE SYSTEMS:
The system employs an adjustable LAC or ORI/ORD valves to regulate system high
pressure during low ambient conditions.
The design compressor discharge pressure setting for the valve is 150 psig for
medium temperature systems and low temperature systems with hermetic
compressors; and 120 psig for other low temperature systems.
All systems are factory set at the above settings; however, the actual
compressor discharge pressure at low ambient conditions may differ from the
factory settings. If so, the setting needs to be adjusted. Caution: setting
the valve higher than the design setting is not permitted.
Exception: If the system is not used for a walk-in, or a walk-in larger than
3000 ft2, or for medical, scientific or research purpose, the above setting
requirement does not apply.

LAC (Adjustable)
Compressor
Receiver
Adjustment:
When an adjustment is needed, a pressure gauge should be connected to the
compressor discharge port. Turning the valve stem “clockwise” will increase
the pressure setting, while turning the valve stem “counterclockwise” will
decrease the pressure setting.
Checking and adjusting the valve setting may only be done properly when the
ambient temperature reaches 35F or below
Refer to Sporlan’s installation instructions (bulletins 90-301 and 90-31) for
further details.
WARNING
Fans closest to the headers should not be cycled on standard temperature or
pressure controls. Dramatic temperature and pressure changes at the headers as
a result of fan action can result in possible tube failure.
Fan cycling controls should be adjusted to maintain a minimum of 5 minutes on
and 5 minutes off. Short cycling of fans may result in premature failure of
motor and/or fan blade.
Compressors operating below +10°F SST must have air flowing over the
compressor at all times when the compressor is running.

WATER-COOLED CONDENSERS
WARNING
All water and drain connections to the unit must be made in accordance with
national as well as local plumbing codes and by-laws.
All water-cooled condensers require a water regulating
valve that must be installed upstream of the condenser.
The water-regulating valve is adjustable and is set
to provide the desired condensing pressure. As the
condensing pressure rises, the valve will open and allow more water to flow.
As the condensing pressure lowers, the valve will start to close to reduce the
amount of water flow into the condenser. Typical condensing temperatures
normally range between 90 to 110 °F. The actual water inlet temperature and
water supply flow capacity available at the site determines the suitable
condensing temperature. Lower inlet water temperatures
(40°F to 70 °F) allow the condensing unit to run at a lower
condensing temperature (70°F to 90°F). Higher water
inlet temperatures (above 85°F) require the condensing
temperature to be higher (105° to 120°F). The capacity of
the water-cooled condensing unit varies with condensing temperature. Refer to
the water flow rate chart in the Product Data and Specifications brochure that
comes with the condensing unit to estimate the required flow rate in GPM. If
water supply pressure is excessive, a pressure-
reducing valve must be used since the allowable working
pressure of water valves and condensers is normally 150
psig (1136 kPa).
Care should be exercised in locating the condensing unit so that the condenser
will never be exposed to temperatures below freezing.
Excessive water velocities or cavitation on the waterside of the condenser
tubes may damage a water-cooled condenser. In order to prevent operating
difficulties, care should be taken to follow the instructions outlined below:
(a) Water velocities through the condenser should not exceed 7 fps (2.13 m/s).
Higher velocities can result in “impingement corrosion”. In order to maintain
water velocities at an acceptable level, parallel circuiting of the condenser
may be necessary when high water flow is required. (b) If a water-circulating
pump is used, it should be installed so that the condenser is fed from the
discharge side of the pump. (c) If the condenser is installed more than 5 ft
(1.52 m) higher than the outlet drain point of the condenser, a vacuum breaker
or open vent line should be provided to prevent the outlet line from creating
a partial vacuum condition.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS & OPTION INFORMATION
HOT GAS BYPASS
Purpose: To maintain a constant evaporating pressure during periods of low
load either to prevent coil icing or to avoid operating the condensing unit at
a lower suction pressure than it was designed to operate. Application: Hot gas
bypass is a method of compressor capacity control that eliminates the on-off
control of the compressor allowing for greater control of temperature,
humidity and load matching. Common uses are in wine rooms, fur storage and
biotech; anywhere critical temperature and or humidity applications exist. How
it Works: The discharge bypass valve is located in a branch line off the
discharge line close to the compressor. The bypassed hot gas can enter the low
side at the inlet of the evaporator or at the suction line. The hot gas bypass
valve is adjustable to maintain the desired evaporating or suction pressure.
Maintaining a constant evaporating pressure regulated by the modulating hot
gas will allow for a constant coil temperature resulting in a constant room
temperature regardless of room load.
Bypass to Inlet of the evaporator is the preferred method because the TXV will
provide the correct amount of liquid refrigerant for desuperheating. In
addition, the evaporator allows for proper mixing of liquid and hot gas
ensuring dry super-heated refrigerant returns to the compressor.
Bypass to the suction line is used with long line runs and with multiple
evaporators. The addition of a specific desuperheating TXV is required to
prevent overloading (overheating) of the compressor due to high return gas
temperatures caused by bypassed hot gas close to the compressor. A suction
accumulator is also recommended, as this will ensure proper mixing of the hot
gas and liquid refrigerant prior to it reaching the compressor.
CRANKCASE PRESSURE REGULATOR (CPR)
Purpose: Prevents overloading of the compressor motor by limiting the suction
pressure at the compressor during normal operation, during or after defrost,
or after a lengthy shutdown period. Application: Required on any application
where the potential for the compressor running at a suction temperature or
pressure higher than what is allowed by the compressor manufacturer (i.e.
running the compressor outside its operating envelope) for an extended period
of time. This can be seen on low temperature systems using hot gas defrost.
High suction pressure and temperatures will overload the compressor motor
causing the internal motor overload to open, stopping the compressor until it
cools down. How it works A crankcase pressure regulator is a valve that closes
on a rise of outlet pressure. The valve set point is the corresponding
pressure of the maximum saturated suction
temperature the compressor manufacturer allows for the specific compressor. If
the suction pressure upstream of the valve exceeds the set point, it begins to
close modulating and maintaining a constant pressure for the compressor.
Please note that the use of a CPR valve introduces a large pressure drop in
the suction line. Even under normal operating conditions a full 2°F drop may
occur across the valve; reducing the refrigeration system capacity. A CPR
valve set point lower than the maximum saturated suction temperature will
prolong the pull-down period after a defrost has completed.
HEATED AND INSULATED RECEIVER
Purpose: Heated and Insulated Receivers are used to maintain a minimum
receiver pressure. Application: Applicable for outdoor units where mild to low
ambient temperatures combined with extended off cycles (low product load) are
experienced. How it works: Heated and insulated receivers help maintain a
higher pressure that would normally correspond to the cold ambient/low
pressure in the receiver. Without a heated and insulated receiver the pressure
in the receiver would drop to the corresponding ambient temperature during off
cycles (low product load conditions) upon a call for cooling the receiver
pressure will be too low to feed the expansion valve. This would result in
short cycling on the low pressure switch which could eventually lead to oil
loss and compressor damage.
REPLACEABLE SUCTION FILTER
Purpose: To pick up and remove system contaminants such as metal particles,
rust, oxides, dirt, and any other solid contaminants. The suction filter
protects compressors from materials becoming imbedded in the motor windings
where the natural flexing of windings during start up can cause particles to
scrape the motor insulation and result in motor burnout. Also used with
desiccant cores (filter-drier) to collect and remove acid, moisture and
sludge.
Application: Required for field built up systems where cutting and/or brazing
of lines occurs or additionally any system where contamination could or could
have occurred.
Desiccant core suction filter-driers can be used to clean the system (removing
corrosive acids) after mild hermetic motor burnouts. Filter-driers are also
used to remove system moisture as system moisture could freeze TX valves and
ultimately lead to liquid flood back and compressor damage.

REPLACEABLE SUCTION FILTER (cont’d)
How it works: The suction filter (filter-drier) is simply a shell with pleated
or felt element used to collect contaminants. The suction filter is installed
in the suction line and the filter core itself can be of sealed type or
replaceable type where it can be removed and have a replaceable core. The core
itself can be combined with or made out of a desiccant material for moisture
removal.
REPLACEABLE LIQUID FILTER/DRIER
Same application as suction line filter/drier but installed in the liquid
line. See Replaceable Suction Filter.
SUCTION ACCUMULATOR w/ HEAT EXCHANGER
Purpose: To prevent liquid refrigerant from flooding back to the compressor as
liquid flood back can result in liquid slugging, loss of oil from the
crankcase or bearing washout. Note: liquid flood back is considered one of the
major causes of compressor failure.
The addition of a heat exchanger raises the temperature of the return gas in
the suction line and lowers the temperature of the refrigerant in the liquid
line. This prevents the formation of flash gas in the liquid line, provides
additional superheat to the suction gas helping to prevent liquid refrigerant
from flooding back to the compressor and increasing system capacity.
Application: Suction accumulators are used for any instances were liquid flood
back could occur. Commonly used in low temperature systems where flood back is
an increased issue. How it works: Suction accumulators are installed in the
suction line close to the compressor. The accumulator is vertical container
with top inlet and outlet connections. An internal U-tube connected only to
the outlet reaches down near the bottom of the container and draws refrigerant
in from the top. This allows the accumulator to almost completely fill with
liquid refrigerant before flood back can occur. A small diameter hole is
drilled in the U-tube near the lowest point. This small hole allows for
controlled metering of liquid refrigerant or oil back to the compressor by a
siphoning action.
ADJUSTABLE FLOODED HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL
condenser reducing condenser area, which in turn increases condensing
pressure. At the same time hot discharge gas can be bypassed around the
condenser by means of the ORD (open on rise of differential) raising the
liquid pressure in the receiver allowing the system to operate properly. The
ORI (Open on Rise of Inlet pressure) is adjustable; its set point will
maintain the condensing pressure in low ambient conditions. The ORD opens when
the pressure drop between the inlet of the condenser and the outlet of the ORI
exceeds approximately 20 PSI. The function of the ORD is to maintain receiver
pressure to allow for adequate differential pressure across the TXV for proper
operation of the TXV.
DISCHARGE LINE CHECK VALVE
Purpose: To prevent the migration of liquid refrigerant from the condenser
back to the compressor during the off cycle. Application: During long off
cycle periods and combined with cold ambient temperatures, liquid refrigerant
in the condenser may migrate to the compressor. The compressor may not be able
to overcome the initial static head if liquid refrigerant is in the discharge
line or worse if backed up right to the discharge valves. The valves in the
head of the compressor may also leak the liquid into the crankcase causing a
flooded start when the compressor eventually starts up. When the scroll
compressor stops, high and low side equalize within the compressor. The
discharge check valve will maintain the high/low side differential pressure
during the compressor off cycle. How it Works: A check valve allows flow in
one direction only. A discharge check valve will allow refrigerant to pass
from the compressor to the condenser. It will not allow refrigerant to flow
back through the valve from the condenser to the compressor.
EXTENDED LEG KIT
Purpose: To raise the condensing unit off the ground by 8 inches Application:
Leg kits are required in locations with high snow accumulation, areas common
to flooding etc. Used where a requirement exists to keep the base of the
condensing unit off the ground. This may prevent damage to components within
the cabinet.
Purpose: To maintain the minimum required condensing pressure during periods of low ambient temperatures. Application: Any air cooled condenser exposed to ambient temperatures that fall below 65°F. How it Works: Liquid refrigerant is restricted from leaving the condenser to the receiver. This backs up liquid refrigerant into the

OIL SEPARATOR W/ OIL RETURN SOLENOID
DISCONNECT SWITCH
Purpose: Oil Separators are used to return oil to the compressor. Application:
Used on refrigeration systems where it’s difficult to return oil to the
compressor. Commonly used in low temperature systems where oil return is an
increased issue. How it Works: Oil separators are installed in the
compressor(s) discharge line. They are usually a vertical container with the
discharge gas connections at the top and an oil return port at the bottom.
Internal to the oil separator is a form of baffles (usually screen meshing)
which removes oil by a means of velocity reduction. Most of the oil is removed
from the refrigerant and returned to the compressor by means of a ball float
valve
PUMP DOWN TOGGLE SWITCH
Purpose: To externally disconnect power to the system/unit Application: A
disconnect switch is used such power can easily be accessed and removed from
the unit. How it Works: Disconnect switch is available with and without fusing
and is a manual throw switch.
CONTROL CIRCUIT TRANSFORMER
Purpose: Control circuit transformers are used to convert the unit supply
voltage to a lesser voltage for use in the control circuit. Application: Used
when supply voltage is large and a lower voltage is required or to allow for
smaller electrical components.
Purpose: The purpose of the pump down cycle toggle switch is to force a pump
down state. A pump down state prevents liquid migration to the compressor
during off cycles which can lead to compressor oil loss and flooded starts.
Application: Installed in systems where user controlled off cycles are used,
common, or frequent. How it Works: The pump down switch is installed in series
with the thermostat. When the pump down switch is thrown the power to the
liquid line solenoid valve is lost and the solenoid goes into its powerless
state of normally closed. With the liquid line solenoid valve closed the
refrigerant flow to the evaporator is stopped and the compressor continues to
run pumping refrigerant into the condenser and receiver until the low pressure
control cuts out and the compressor contactor opens (stopping the compressor).
The system will stay in a state of pump down that is the compressor running as
required to pump down any refrigerant that might leak through the closed
solenoid valve until the pump down switch is switched back.
PHASE/VOLTAGE MONITOR
COMPRESSOR CIRCUIT BREAKER
Purpose: To disconnect power and provide branch circuit protection to the
compressor Application: A compressor circuit breaker is used to provide branch
circuit protection disconnect power from the compressor.
GOLD COAT FINS
Purpose: To protect the aluminum fins from corrosion in specific environmental
applications. Application: Any aluminum fin coil exposed to a sodium rich
environment such as fish coolers & freezers and salt water coast lines. How it
Works: This is an aluminum fin that has a gold coloured coating applied at the
aluminum manufactures facility. The micro thin coating is adhered to the
aluminum fin protecting the aluminum from corrosion and material degradation
from airborne contaminants that accumulate on the coil surface during the
units operating cycle.
Purpose: Used to protect the compressor from voltage and/or phase imbalances. Application: Installed in areas where phase and voltage fluctuation is common or could occur. How it Works: Phase voltage monitor is installed to sense voltage and phase imbalance across the compressor contactor. Disconnects the power supplied to the compressor upon voltage and/or phase imbalance. Has a built in field adjustable restart delay (normally factory preset to 2 seconds).
HERESITE COATING
Purpose: To protect from exposure to corrosive atmospheres with the exception
of strong alkalies, strong oxidizers and wet bromine, chlorine and fluorine in
concentrations greater than 100 ppm Application: For both fins and units in
corrosive atmospheres How it Works: This is a Heresite baked phenolic compound
coating and is offered as a service to the customer. As standard the Heresite
coating is applied to the coil and manifold only for additional protection.

satisfying the cooling load the thermostat cuts out (de-energizing/closing the
liquid solenoid valve) and pumping down the system. The electronic thermostat
also offers a tighter range of control as the differential setting can be as
low as 1°F.
Purpose: To comply with regional regulatory code as well as provide increased
energy efficiency and decreased operational costs Application: EC Motors are
required in most regions by local codes and regulations. Used to provide
increased energy efficiency and as such lower operating cost (compared to
Shaded Pole or PSC motors). How it Works: An EC motor is made up of two
components, the motor and the motor control module. Input AC voltage is
supplied and converted to DC voltage by the motor control module. This DC
voltage is used in the brushless operation of the motor. The motor controller
energizes the motor phases at the appropriate time for optimum operation and
speed. The motor controller can be programmed to provide specific speed based
on a 0-10V input signal. Note: our standard EC evaporator motors are set up
for 1 speed or 2 speed operation with SmartSpeed. EC motors due to brushless
commutation and internal controller are significantly more efficient then
standard motors. Installed PSC motor efficiencies are typically in the range
of 12-45% whereas EC motors maintain an efficiency of 65-72% at all speeds. In
addition to EC motor efficiency; these motors operate at low temperatures
requiring less energy to offset motor heat gain in the refrigeration system.
FOR DETAILS ON EC MOTOR APPLICATION REFER TO EC MOTOR APPLICATION GUIDE
COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY (Delay on Break)
Purpose: To provide a specified amount of time for the compressor to remain
off after pump down and prevent short cycling. Application: Installed on
condensing units to prevent short cycling and protect the compressor. (Factory
setting 3-minutes) How It Works: Immediately upon application of power, the
Delay on Break timer enables circuit operation. Once power is interrupted, the
circuit opens for the time set on the dial. After the time period elapses, the
circuit closes, allowing the protected motor or compressor to start.

LEAK TESTING
IMPORTANT: All system piping, including the condensing unit and accessories
should be thoroughly tested for leaks prior to start up and charging. The
system should be initially pressurized to a maximum of 150 psig (1136 kPa)
with dry nitrogen to ensure that the system is free of major leaks. With the
system free of major leaks, a more detailed leak check should be performed.
Discharge the initial dry nitrogen charge and add enough refrigerant to raise
the system pressure up to 10 psig (170 kPa) (tracer amount). Add dry nitrogen
to increase the system pressure to a maximum of 150 psig (1136 kPa). It is
recommended that an electronic leak detector be used when checking for leaks
because of its greater sensitivity to small leaks. As a further check it is
recommended that this pressure be held for a minimum of 12 hours and then
rechecked. The system must be leak free for satisfactory operation.
WARNING
HFC-134a has been shown to be combustible at pressures as low as 5.5 psig (140
kPa) at 350 °F (176.7 °C) when mixed with air at concentrations more than 60%
air by volume. At lower temperature, higher pressures are required to support
combustion. Therefore, air should never be mixed with HFC-134a for leak
detection.
IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE
When conventional leak detection methods are employed using HCFC or CFC tracer
gas, all of the tracer gas must be reclaimed and disposed of in a proper
manner.
EVACUATION AND DEHYDRATION
When the system is completely free of refrigerant leaks, an evacuation of the
entire system should be completed by using a “high vacuum” pump. This
evacuation, if completed correctly, will ensure long life for the system as
well as elimination of moisture and non-condensable gas problems. Moisture
problems causing compressor failure will void warranty. Follow the recommended
procedure carefully.
CAU T I ON
Do not use the refrigeration compressor to evacuate the system. Never start
the compressor or perform a megger insulation test while the system is in a
vacuum.
DEHYDRATION PROCEDURE
1. Use larger size (3/8 or 1/2) hoses or copper lines. 2. Perform oil change
on vacuum pump at the beginning of each evacuation 3. Always check vacuum
pump, manifold, and hose assembly that it will pull below 250 microns. 4.
Evacuate system from 4 access points (if available) on the system. These
points are: (Refer to piping schematic below)
i. Liquid receiver service valve (VL1) ii. Compressor Suction service valve
(VL2) iii. Compressor Discharge service valve (VL3) iv. ¼ fitting on Discharge
line before the condenser (VL4) 5. Ensure that all solenoids in the system are
open (energized) during evacuation. 6. Ensure that all ball valves in the
system are open and all service valves are appropriately cracked or back-
seated during evacuation. 7. Perform “Deep Vacuum Method”.

20/04/22
DEHYDRATION PROCEDURE (cont’d)
Deep Vacuum Method: 1. Ensure that the vacuum pump used is capable of pulling
a 250 micron vacuum. 2. Connect hoses to the appropriate locations on the
system and other ends to the manifold. Then connect the manifold
to the vacuum pump. 3. Connect an electronic vacuum gauge at a point on the
system furthest away from the vacuum pump. 4. Turn on the vacuum pump and
proceed with opening the high and low side valves on the gauge manifold first
then
proceed with opening the shut off valves or service valves which gives access
to the system. 5. Evacuate until the vacuum gauge reads 500 microns or less.
6. Close the valves to the vacuum pump and shut pump off. Wait 30 minutes. 7.
If the vacuum gauge reads below 1000 microns the system can be considered dry
and leak free and can proceed with
refrigerant charging. 8. If the vacuum gauge reads between 1000-2000 microns
then some moisture is still present.
Sweep with Nitrogen and repeat steps 47.
Refer to graph below as a guideline when using the Deep Vacuum Method.

SYSTEM START-UP CHECK LIST
I M PORTAN T START-U P N OT E
Only a qualified refrigeration mechanic who is familiar with compressor
performance and the function and adjustment of all controls and components
should start up the compressor. Finishing up work on the installations should
be planned so that a qualified mechanic is on the job for at least the first
full day that the unit is in operation.
Before any refrigeration system is started, the following items should be
checked:
(1) Check that all electrical and refrigeration connections are tight. (2)
Check compressor crankcase oil level (if equipped with sight glass). It should
be from 1/8 to 1/2 full in the sight
glass. (3) Insure that compressor shipping spacers (spring mounted
compressors) or hold down nut (solid mounted
compressors) are properly in place. (4) Check that the compressor discharge
and suction shut-off valves are open. (5) Ensure that the high and low
pressure controls pressure regulating valves, oil pressure safety controls,
Compressor Time Delay and any other safety controls are adjusted properly. (6)
Check that the room thermostat is set for normal operation and adjust if
required. (7) Check all motors, fans and pump bearings in the condenser and
evaporator. If they are the type that require
oil or grease, make sure that this is attended to in accordance with the tag,
which will be attached. Fan blades and pumps should be checked for correct
rotation, tightness and alignment. Air should draw air through the condenser
(air cooled condensing unit models). (8) Electric and hot gas evaporator fan
motors should be temporarily wired for continuous operation until the room
temperature has stabilized. (9) Observe the system pressures during the
charging and initial operation process. DO NOT add oil while the system is low
on refrigerant charge unless the oil level is dangerously low. (10) Continue
to charge the system until it has enough charge for proper operation. DO NOT
OVERCHARGE THE SYSTEM. Note that bubbles in the sight glass may not
necessarily mean a shortage of refrigerant. (11) DO NOT leave the system
unattended until the system has reached its normal operating condition and the
oil charge has properly adjusted itself to maintain the proper level in the
sight glass. (12) Compressor performance, and that of all of the moving
components should be watched carefully throughout the first operating cycle
and then checked periodically during the first day of operation. Careful
attention to details at this time will pay dividends in trouble-free
performance of the entire system. (13) Check that the wiring diagrams,
instructions bulletins etc. are read and attached to the unit for future
reference.
WARNING
Three phase scroll compressors must be checked for correct rotation. During
the initial start up, observe the suction and discharge gauges to ensure the
suction pressure drops and the discharge pressure rises.

LOW TEMPERATURE ROOM PULL-DOWN
It can take up to two weeks to properly start-up and pulldown a large freezer. Large freezers should be pull-down to temperature in stages. Too fast a pull- down can cause structural problems in pre-fabricated rooms and will damage (crack) concrete floors. Reduce room temperature by 10 to 15°F (5.6 to 8.4°C) per day. Hold this temperature for 24 to 48 hours at 35°F (1.7 °C) and again at 25°F (-3.9 °C). Monitor the amount of defrost water during this pull down stage.
Once the room is pulled down to temperature, expect frost on the compressor end bell and any exposed suction line. A lack of frost in these areas probably indicates too high of suction superheat. Reduce defrost frequency to 30 minutes every 6 hours if possible. Adjust the defrost termination (and time clock) so that the coil and drain pan are COMPLETELY free of frost / ice at termination. Too short of a defrost cycle will allow residual ice to grow. Too long of a defrost will allow the coil(s) to steam at the end of the cycle. The steam will condense and freeze fans, fan guards and create frosting on the ceiling of the room. The evaporator fan delay must allow any condensate left on the coil surface to refreeze before the fans start.

CHECKING SUPERHEAT
IMPORTANT SYSTEM BALANCING NOTE
To obtain maximum system capacity and insure trouble free operation it is
necessary to check both the compressor and evaporator superheat.
Compressor Superheat
Compressor suction superheat must be checked. To check the superheat at the
compressor the following steps should be followed:
(1) Measure the suction pressure at the suction service valve of the
compressor. Determine the saturated temperature corresponding to this pressure
from a “Pressure- Temperature” chart.
(2) Measure the suction temperature of the suction line about 6 inches (15 cm)
back from the compressor suction valve using an accurate thermometer.
(3) Subtract the saturated temperature (from step 1) from the actual suction
line temperature (from step 2). This difference is the actual superheat at the
compressor.
System capacity decreases as the suction superheat increases. For maximum
system capacity, the suction superheat should be kept as low as is practical.
The superheat at the compressor should range within 20 to 45 °F (11.2 to 25.2
°C) Superheat.
NOTE: Too low of a suction superheat can result in liquid being returned to
the compressor. This can cause dilution of
the oil and eventually cause failure of the bearings and rings through wash
out as well as liquid slugging.
NOTE: Too high of a suction superheat will cause excessive discharge
temperatures which cause a break down of the
oil and will result in piston ring wear, piston and cylinder wall damage.
If adjustment to the suction superheat is required, it should be done either
by adjusting the thermostatic expansion valve at the evaporator, the use of
liquid to suction heat exchanger or suitable use of suction line insulation.
Evaporator Superheat
Once the refrigerated space is at its design temperature or close to design
temperature, the evaporator superheat must be checked. To check the suction
superheat at the evaporator the following steps should be followed:
(1) Measure the suction pressure in the suction line at the bulb location by
either, (a) A gauge in the external equalizer line will indicate the pressure
directly and accurately. (b) A gauge directly in the suction line near the
evaporator or directly in the suction header will suffice.
(2) Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point where the
thermostatic expansion valve bulb is clamped to the suction line.
(3) Convert the pressure obtained in step 1 above to a saturated evaporator
temperature from a “PressureTemperature” chart.
(4) Subtract the saturated temperature (from step 1) from the actual suction
line temperature (from step 2). This difference is the actual superheat at the
evaporator.
The superheat at the evaporator should be a minimum of 6 to 10 °F (3.4 to 5.6
°C) for systems with a 10 °F (5.6 °C) design TD (temperature difference) to a
maximum of 12 to 15 °F (6.7 to 8.4 °C) for systems with a higher operating TD.
Low temperature applications (freezers) should be set at superheats of 4 to 6
°F (2.2 to 3.4 °C).
TD = Box temperature evaporating temperature.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Recycling Pump Down System
Power is generally supplied to the thermostat and liquid line solenoid circuit from the evaporator fan terminals
“4” & “F” (off time defrost) or from the time clock (timed air or electric defrost) terminals “4” and “N”.
The room thermostat switch closes when the temperature rises above the desired set point.
The liquid line solenoid coil is energized causing the valve to open, allowing liquid refrigerant into the evaporator
coil.
The low pressure control closes when the suction pressure rises above the cut- in setting of the control.
The compressor contactor coil is energized causing the contactor to close. The compressor and the condenser
fan closest to the discharge header start at the same time. Additional fans will come on after the discharge
pressure rises above the cut-in set point of the fan cycle control.
Once the thermostat set point has been reached, the thermostat opens and the liquid line solenoid coil is de-
energized. The solenoid valve closes stopping the refrigerant flow to the evaporator.
The compressor continues to run reducing the suction pressure until it drops below the cut-out setting indicated
on the low pressure control. The compressor contactor coil is de-energized, the contactor opens and the
compressor and condenser fan stop running. The Compressor Time Delay opens for the recommended
3-minute setting to prevent short cycling.
The system remains off until the temperature rises above the desired set point again.
Electric Defrost Cycle Using 8145 time clock or equivalent
During refrigeration the “4” terminal on the time clock is powered supplying voltage to the thermostat and
solenoid circuit. It also supplies voltage to the evaporator fans directly or to a contactor coil whose contactor
contacts directly power the evaporator fan motors.
During defrost the “3” terminal on the time clock is powered supplying voltage to the defrost heater circuit.
The defrost cycle starts automatically via the time clock at predetermined times as defined by the installing
contractor by manipulating the pins on the clock face. Three (3) to four (4) defrost cycles are generally sufficient
however variations in loads due to usage and infiltration may require additional adjustments, defrost cycles of
alternative defrost methods
When it’s time for a defrost cycle to start, terminal “4” is de-energized, the liquid line solenoid coil is de-
energized. The solenoid valve closes stopping the refrigerant flow to the evaporator allowing the compressor to
pump down and shut off on the low pressure control. At the same time the evaporator fan motors stop running.
From the time clock terminal “3” is powered, however a normally closed auxiliary contact mounted on the side of
the compressor contactor holds the off the power to the heater circuit until the compressor has finished pumping
down.
Once the compressor contactor opens, the auxiliary switch closes supplying voltage to the defrost heaters
directly or to a contactor coil whose contactor contacts directly power the defrost heaters.
Once powered, the defrost heaters increase the coil temperature melting the frost that had accumulated during
the refrigeration cycle.
A defrost termination thermostat measures the coil temperature. Once the coil reaches 55°F +/-5°F the switch
closes powering the “X” terminal on the evaporator which is field wired to the “X” terminal on the time clock. The
time clock switches back into refrigeration mode, de-energizing terminal “3” and re-energizing terminal “4”.
Assuming the room thermostat is closed, the liquid line solenoid coil is energized causing the valve to open
allowing liquid refrigerant into the evaporator coil. The low pressure control closes when the suction pressure
rises above the cut-in setting of the control. The compressor contactor coil is energized causing the contactor to
close. The compressor and the condenser fan(s) start at the same time.
As the compressor runs the coil temperature will drop, the fan delay thermostat measures the coil temperature.
The contacts of the fan delay thermostat will close completing the evaporator fan motor circuit back to “N” on the
time clock causing the fans to start running again.
The system will now operate in the refrigeration cycle until another defrost period is initiated by the time clock.

SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK LIST
When the system has been running trouble free for an extended time (two weeks
or more) and design conditions are satisfied, the following check list should
be followed:
(1) Check that compressor discharge and suction pressures are operating within
the allowable design limits for the compressor. If not, take the necessary
corrective action.
(2) Check the liquid line sight glass and expansion valve operation. If there
is an indication that the system is low on refrigerant, thoroughly check the
system for leaks before adding refrigerant.
(3) Check the level of the oil in the compressor sight glass (if so equipped).
Add oil as necessary. (4) The thermostatic expansion valve must be checked for
proper superheat settings. The sensing bulb must have
positive contact with the suction line and should be insulated. Valves
operating at a high superheat setting results in low refrigeration capacity.
Low superheat settings can cause liquid slugging and compressor bearing
washout. (Refer to the section on compressor and evaporator superheats) (5)
Check the voltage and amperage readings at the compressor terminals. Voltage
reading must be within the recommended guidelines. Normal operating amperages
can be much lower than the compressor nameplate values. (6) To check the high
pressure control setting it is necessary to build up the head pressure to the
cut-out point of the control. This can be done by stopping the condenser
fan(s) (air cooled condensing units) or pump and watching the pressure rise on
a high pressure gauge to make sure the high pressure control is operating at
the setting. (7) Check the low pressure settings by throttling the compressor
shut-off valve and allowing the compressor to pump down. This operation must
be done with extreme caution to avoid too sudden a reduction in crankcase
pressure, which will cause oil slugging and possible damage to the compressor
valves. Close the valve a turn a a time while watching the compound gauge for
change and allowing time for the crankcase pressure to equalize with the
pressure control bellows pressure. The slower the pressure is reduced, the
more accurate will be the check on the pressure control setting. (8) Recheck
all safety and operating controls for proper operation and adjust as
necessary. (9) Check defrost controls for initiation and termination settings,
and the length of defrost period. Set the fail safe on the time clock at the
length of defrost plus 25 %. (10) If the system is equipped with winter head
pressure controls (fan cycling or flooded valves), check for operation. See
details on page 14 for flooded valves. (11) Fill in the Service Log in the
back of this Installation Manual.

Notes: – Line sizes are calculated at 100% system capacity – Suction lines sized based on a maximum total pressure drop equivalent to 2°F – Sizing is based on 65°F return gas at compressor with a liquid temperature of 100°F – Line sizes are O.D. using type `L’ copper tubing. – Follow proper piping practices to ensure proper oil return, including proper slopes, traps and supporting. – Double suction risers might be necessary with cylinder unloading. Consult factory if unsure.

Notes: – Line sizes are calculated at 100% system capacity – Suction lines sized based on a maximum total pressure drop equivalent to 2°F – Sizing is based on 65°F return gas at compressor with a liquid temperature of 100°F – Line sizes are O.D. using type `L’ copper tubing. – Follow proper piping practices to ensure proper oil return, including proper slopes, traps and supporting. – Double suction risers might be necessary with cylinder unloading. Consult factory if unsure.

Notes: – Line sizes are calculated at 100% system capacity – Suction lines sized based on a maximum total pressure drop equivalent to 2°F – Sizing is based on 65°F return gas at compressor with a liquid temperature of 100°F – Line sizes are O.D. using type `L’ copper tubing. – Follow proper piping practices to ensure proper oil return, including proper slopes, traps and supporting. – Double suction risers might be necessary with cylinder unloading. Consult factory if unsure.
