WARNING
-
WARNING (Medium/high pressure)
-
Contains Refrigerant!
-
System contains oil and refrigerant under high pressure. Recover refrigerant to relieve pressure before opening the system. See unit nameplate for refrigerant type. Do not use non- approved refrigerants, refrigerant substitutes, or refrigerant additives.
-
Failure to follow proper procedures or the use of non-approved refrigerants, substitutes, or refrigerant additives could result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
-
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the State of California to case cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov -
A. GENERAL
- These coils are designed for use in combination with a heat pump or cooling outdoor section using R-410A REFRIGERANT. They may be combined with a Gas or Electric Furnace for a complete system that will provide maximum comfort and energy efficiency during the entire year.
- The *4AXA equipment has been evaluated in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter XX, Part 3280 or the equivalent. “Suitable for Mobile Home use” The height of the Furnace, Coil and discharge duct work must be 7 ft. or less.
- Inspect the coil for shipping damaged. Notify the transportation company immediately if the coil is damaged.
-
CAUTION
This coil is pressurized with 35 psi (+/- 5 psi) of nitrogen. If no pressure is released, check for leaks.
B. APPLICATION INFORMATION
- FURNACE AND COIL
- The coil MUST BE installed downstream (in the outlet air) of the furnace.
- These coils fit the 14½”, 17½”, 21, and 24½” width furnaces in vertical upflow and downflow applications.
- Coils are equipped with a high temperature composite drain pan and do not require a heat shield when installed with Trane, American Standard, RunTru or Ameristar gas or electric furnaces. Do NOT install with OIL or DRUM type furnaces.
IMPORTANT:
Review your installation requirements. Check the table on the outline drawings
and note all dimensions for your coil before beginning the installation.
INDOOR UNIT AIRFLOW
Indoor unit must provide the required airflow for the heat pump or cooling
combinations approved for these coils.
-
C. RECOMMENDATION
If a coil is part of the total system installation, use the Installer’s Guide packaged with the furnaces, and outdoor sections, and thermostat for physically installing those components. -
D. DOWNFLOW INSTALLATION
CAUTION- Condensate water blow-off could occur in downflow installations in high humidity applications. Please ensure that the following instructions are followed to ensure proper operation.
-
To set up coils for downflow application, install the two 3” wide by 16” long galvanized metal plates on the outside of the coil, against the fins on each side of the coil as shown in
-
Figure 2. These plates are supplied with the coil.
-
Do NOT exceed 350 cfm/ton of airflow for downflow applications 3 ton or greater.
-
CAUTION
- Do NOT install coils with any OIL or DRUM type furnaces.
E. INSTALLING / BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES
CAUTION
Do NOT open refrigerant valve at the outdoor unit until the refrigerant lines and coil have been brazed, evacuated, and leak checked.
- The following steps are to be considered when installing the refrigerant lines:
- Determine the most practical way to run the lines.
- Consider types of bends to be made and space limitations.
- Route the tubing making all required bends and properly secure the tubing before making final connections.
IMPORTANT:
Do not unseal refrigerant tubing until ready to fit refrigerant lines.
- Release the entire holding pressure by depressing the schrader core.
- Using tubing cutters, remove the least amount of the refrigerant stub tubes as possible.
- Ream and deburr both liquid and vapor tubes.
- Run the refrigerant tubing into the vapor stub tube. Connect the liquid lines using a 3/8″ copper coupling.
- Make sure copper equalizer lines do NOT touch aluminum.
F. TXV BULB HORIZONTAL MOUNTING
- The orientation and location of the TXV bulb has a major influence on the system performance.
- It is recommended that the TXV bulb be installed parallel to the ground (on a horizontal plane). The bulb position must be at 2 o’clock or 10 o’clock. Figure 4 shows the recommended position for the TXV bulb installation in the horizontal plane.
The TXV sensing bulb SHOULD be mounted on the suction line approximately 6″ away from outlet tubes of the circuit using the metal clamp provided. Should NOT be placed near any bends. In order to obtain a good temperature reading and correct superheat control, the TXV sensing bulb must conform to ALL the following criteria:
- The sensing bulb MUST be in direct and continuous contact with the suction line.
- The sensing bulb MUST be mounted at the 2 o’clock or 10 o’clock position as shown in Figure 4.
- The sensing bulb MUST be insulated from surrounding air.
A properly mounted sensing bulb will prevent false readings caused by liquid
refrigerant that may have formed inside the suction/vapor line. Insulation
will protect the sensing bulb from false readings due to contact with warm
air.
G. TXV BULB VERTICAL MOUNTING
As recommended in Section F, the TXV sensing bulb should be mounted in a
horizontal plane in relation to the suction/vapor line. However, some
installation configurations may require that the sensing bulb be mounted
vertically. In this instance, place the bulb opposite the piping wall being
hit by refrigerant and oil leaving the distributor tubes, and with capillary
tubes directed upwards as shown in Figure 5.
CAUTION
If the TXV sensing bulb is mounted vertically; the capillary MUST be
directed upwards. The bulb must be mounted on the wall opposite to that being
directly hit by the refrigerant and oil leaving the distributor tubes.
H. LEAK CHECK
- Using a manifold gauge, connect an external supply of dry nitrogen to the gauge port on the liquid line.
- Pressurize the connecting lines and indoor coil to 150 PSIG maximum.
- Leak check brazed line connections using soap bubbles. Repair leaks (if any) after relieving pressure.
- Evacuate and charge the system per the instructions packaged with the outdoor unit.
CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING
Condensate drain connections are located in the drain pan at the bottom of the
coil assembly. The female threaded fitting protrudes outside of the assembly
for external connection. A field fabricated trap is not required for proper
drainage due to the positive pressure of the furnace; however, it is
recommended to prevent efficiency loss of conditioned air.
- The drain hole in the drain pan must be cleared of all insulation.
- Insulate the primary drain line to prevent sweating where dew point temperatures may be met. (Optional depending on climate and application needs)
- Connect the secondary drain line to a separate drain line (no trap is needed in this line).
- Install coils with the drain pan and/or casing on a flat, level surface. Slope the coil 1/4” towards the drain. Condensate lines must be installed in accordance with building codes.
J. CLEANING THE COIL
The inside and outside of the coil can be easily cleaned with a brush and
vacuum.
