INTRODUCTION
Use this instruction manual to install indoor coil on multipoise furnaces.
The coil is enclosed in a casing.
Horizontal Right Furnace Installation
Typical Coil Installation on Furnace
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF EVAPORATOR COILS
Upflow coil installation
The cased coil is designed to t furnaces of the same width.
-
Set coil in place on upow furnace discharge air opening.
-
Ensure coil is level for proper condensate drainage. Do not tip coil toward condensate drain. Coil casing need not be fastened or screwed to furnace.
-
When installing wider coil on narrow furnace, create eld fabricated adapter.
Horizontal Right & Left Installation **
Vertical Upow & Down folw Installation
NOTE: On upow installations where the indoor coil is placed in an unconditioned space, a 6” wide piece of insulation should be applied and wrapped around the outside of coil casing and supply duct contact point.
NOTE: Consult the furnace installation instructions for any special requirements when installing the coil to the furnace.
Downflow Coil Installation
IMPORTANT:** Installing “A” coils rotated 90 degrees from the front of the furnace in downow applications can cause water blow off or coil freeze up. This is due to the concentration of air on one coil slab or lack of air on the opposite coil slab. If the airow is high due to ductwork or other causes, and there is a chance for water blow off, it is recommended that a 4-in. minimum eld-supplied adapter be placed between the coil and the furnace to allow the air to distribute evenly to both coil slabs.
Downow Installation with Coil Rotated 90°
-
Set cased coil on supply duct opening.
-
Place eld fabricated 4-in. minimum adapter on coil casing. Adapter should be tapered to t coil/furnace combination when one of them is larger than the other.
-
Set furnace on adapter.
NOTE: In downow installation with a 4-way multipoise furnace, break off perforated duct anges on furnace. See furnace installation instructions.
Horizontal Coil Installation
The unit can be installed on a work platform, secured to roof truss in attic,
suspended from hangers on oor joists in crawl space, or installed on blocks.
It is designed to allow airow in either direction, to mate with horizontal-
left or horizontal-right furnace installations. Ensure coil cabinet is level
side to side and front to back.
It is allowable to add up to 1/2-in. additional slope over length and depth of
coil cabinet in the direction of drain pan connection.
Horizontal Right Installation
- Use eld fabricated attachment plates to secure coil to furnace.
- Use self-tapping screws to mount attachment plates to coil casing.
- Connect furnace snugly against coil casing.
- Use self-tapping screws to attach furnace.
- Seal joint between coil casing and furnace to create an air tight seal using locally approved materials.
- Use cork tape to create air seal between the undersides of the pan extension and front of the vertical drain pan as shown below.
- Install included condensate pan extension and two corner screws as shown below.
- If coil is wider than furnace, use 4-in minimum transition and self tapping screws to attach furnace.
Horizontal Left Installation
- Unbend the 4 tabs at the right side of the casing.
- Connect furnace snugly against coil casing.
- Use self-tapping screws to attach furnace.
- Seal joint between coil casing and furnace to create air tight seal using locally approved materials.
- If coil is wider than furnace, use 4-in. Minimum transition and self tapping screws to attach furnace.
REFRIGERANT LINE CONNECTIONS
**WARNING**
- Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury. Wear eye protection.
- Coil is factory charged with 15 psi nitrogen.
The coil is under pressure and TXV screen is in place behind liquid line plug. DO NOT remove liquid line plug rst, always remove the suction line plug rst to depressurize the coil.
NOTE: Factory nitrogen charge may escape past rubber plugs during
storage. This does not indicate a leaking coil nor warrant return of the coil.
Size and install refrigerant lines according to information provided with
outdoor unit. Coil connection tube sizes are shown in Table .
Route refrigerant lines to the coil in a manner that will not obstruct service
access to the unit or removal of the lter.
Do not use damaged, dirty, or contaminated tubing because it may plug
refrigerant ow-control device. ALWAYS evacuate the coil and eld-supplied
tubing before opening outdoor unit service valves.
Please cover it with a wet towel when you are going to weld the pipe. ****
CONNECT REFRIGERANT, LIQUID, and SUCTION LINES
For matched systems, use line sizes recommended in outdoor unit Installation
Instructions.
CAUTION
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
Take precautions to ensure Aluminum tubes do not come in direct contact or
allow for condensate run off with a dissimilar metal. Dissimilar metals can
cause galvanic corrosion and possible premature failure.
The coil can be connected to outdoor units using eld-supplied tubing of
refrigerant grade.
Always evacuate tubing and reclaim refrigerant when making connections or
aring tubing.
Leak check connections before insulating entire suction line.
See Table for coil connection tube size.
-
Remove cabinet access door.
-
Remove rubber plugs, suction plug then liquid plug, from coil stubs using a pulling and twisting motion. Hold coil stubs steady to avoid bending or distorting.
-
Remove tubing plate with rubber grommets and slide plate with grommets onto the refrigerant lines (eld line-set), away from braze joints.
-
Fit refrigerant lines into coil stubs. Wrap a heat sinking material such as a wet cloth behind braze joints.
-
Wrap TXV and nearby tubing with a heat-sinking material such as a wet cloth.
-
Use 1/2 psig Nitrogen purge in the suction and out the the liquid line.
-
Braze using a Sil-Fos or Phos-copper alloy. Do not use soft solder.
-
After brazing, allow joints to cool. Carefully remove TXV bulb insulation and verify that the TXV bulb is securely fastened with hose clamp. Tighten screw a half-turn past hand tight with TXV bulb placed in the indentation with full contact with the vapor line tube.
Re-wrap TXV bulb with insulation. -
Leak check connections before insulating entire suction line.
-
Slide tubing plate with rubber grommets over joints. Position tubing at center of each grommet to ensure an air seal around the tube. Reinstall cabinet door.
CAUTION
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
When installing over a nished ceiling and/ or living area, install a eld-
fabricated secondary condensate pan under the entire unit.
The coil is designed to dispose of accumulated water through built-in
condensate drain ttings.
It is recommended that PVC ttings be used on the condensate pan. Do not over-
tighten. Finger tighten plus 1-1/2 turns. Be sure to install plastic plug in
unused condensate drain tting. Two 3/4 inch female threaded pipe connections
are provided in each coil condensate pan.
A trap is not necessary on the condensate line if on the supply air side of
furnace. Consult local codes for additional restrictions or precautions.
If local codes require a trap then the following guidelines are suggested to
assure proper drainage. Install a trap in condensate line of coil as close to
the coil as possible. Make trap at least 3 inches (76 mm) deep and no higher
than the bottom of unit condensate drain opening . Pitch condensate line 1
inch (25.4 mm) for every 10 ft. of length to an open drain or sump. Make sure
that the outlet of each trap is below its connection to condensate pan to
prevent condensate from overowing the drain pan. Prime all traps, test for
leaks, and insulate traps and lines if located above a living area.
**WARNING**
- Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
Provide trap with air gap in drain line when connecting to waste (sewer) line。
NOTE: If unit is located in or above a living space, where damage may result from condensate overow, a eld-supplied, external condensate pan should be installed underneath the entire unit, and a secondary condensate line (with appropriate trap) should be run from the unit into the pan. Any condensate in this external condensate pan should be drained to a noticeable place. As an alternative to using an external condensate pan, some localities may allow the running of a separate 3/4 inch (19 mm) condensate line (with appropriate trap) per local code to a place where the condensate will be noticeable. The owner of the structure must be informed that when condensate ows from secondary drain or external condensate pan, the unit requires servicing or water damage will occur. To further protect against water damaqe. install a oat switch to shut the unit off if the water in the secondary pan gets too high.
WASTE LINE CONNECTION
If the condensate line is to be connected to a waste (sewer) line, an open trap must be in stalled ahead of the waste line to prevent escape of sewer gases.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To continue high performance and minimize possible equipment failure, it is
essential that periodic maintenance be performed on this equipment. Consult
your local dealer as to the proper frequency of maintenance, but it should be
done at least annually.
The ability to properly perform maintenance on this equipment requires certain
mechanical skills and tools. If you do not possess these, contact your dealer
for maintenance. The only consumer service recommended or required is lter
replacement or cleaning on a monthly basis.
CAUTION
Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental damage.
Remove and recycle all components or materials (i.e., oil, refrigerant,etc.)
before unit nal disposal.
