SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical compo-
nents, and equipment location. Only trained, qualified
installers and service mechanics should install, start up, and
service this equipment.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment.
• Follow all safety codes.
• Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
• Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky
equipment.
INTRODUCTION
These instructions cover installation of 30HX liquid chill-
ers with electronic controls and units with factory-installed
options (FIOPSs).
IMPORTANT: This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and
used in accordance with these instructions, this equip-
ment may cause radio interference. The equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits of a
Class A computing device as defined by the FCC
(Federal Communications Commission, U.S.A.) Regu-
lations, Subpart J of Part 15, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interfer-
ence when operated in a commercial environment.
INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Inspect Shipment — Inspect unit for dam-
age upon arrival. If damage is found, file a claim with the
shipping company right away. Do not store units in an area
exposed to weather because of sensitive control mecha-
nisms and electronic devices.
Locate unit indoors. When considering unit location, con-
sult National Electrical Code (NEC, U.S.A.) and local code
requirements. Allow sufficient space for wiring, piping, and
service. Install unit in an area which will not be exposed to
subfreezing weather. See Fig. 1-4 for clearance details.
Allow the following clearances for service access:
Front .............................. 3ft(914 mm)
Rear ............................... 3ft(914 mm)
Top ............................... 2ft(610 mm)
Ends ............... tube removal at one (either) end;
3 ft (914 mm) at opposite end.
Be sure surface beneath the unit is level and is capable of
supporting the operating weight of the unit. See Fig. 5 and
Tables 1A and 1B for unit operating weights. If necessary,
add supporting structure (steel beams or reinforced concrete
slabs) to floor to transfer weight to nearest beams.
Step 2 — Rig and Place Unit
Rig unit from the top heat exchanger only. Rigging from
the bottom heat exchanger will cause the unit to be lifted
unsafely. Personal injury or damage to the unit may
occur.
Do not remove unit from skid until unit is in its
final location. Rig from the rigging holes provided in the top
heat exchanger. See Fig. 1-5 for rigging and center of grav-
ity information. Lower the unit carefully onto the floor or
roller. Push or pull only on the skid, not the unit. If the
unit is moved on rollers, use a minimum of 3 evenly-spaced
rollers.

IMPORTANT: Some of the unit skids are larger than
standard door openings. Be sure that the path to the
unit’s final destination is wide enough to accommo-
date unit shipping skid. Remove the skid if necessary.
If skid is removed and rollers are used, attach rollers
to unit tube sheets while moving unit.
Areas where unit mounting points will be located must be
level to within
1
⁄
16
in. per ft (1 mm per m) along the long
axis of the unit. Once unit is in place and level, bolt unit to
the floor. Use isolation pads under the unit to aid in vibration
isolation as required.
Step 3 — Piping Connections — See Fig. 6 and
7 for typical piping applications.
COOLER FLUID, VENT, AND DRAIN — The inlet (re-
turn) fluid connection is always the lower of the 2 cooler
connections. See Fig. 6 for locations. A screen strainer with
a minimum of 20 mesh should be installed ahead of the cooler
inlet to prevent debris from damaging internal tubes of the
cooler. Outlet (supply) fluid connection is the upper connec-
tion of the 2 cooler connections.
The cooler has weld flanges to connect the field-supplied
piping. Plan the piping arrangement in accordance with good
piping practices and so that the piping does not cross in front
of the cooler head. Use flexible connections on cooler pip-
ing to reduce vibration transmission. Offset the piping to per-
mit removal of the cooler head for maintenance. Install pipe
hangers where needed. Make sure no weight or stress is placed
on the water nozzle.
To install cooler piping:
1. Remove bolts on weld flanges, and remove flanges from
cooler fluid heads.
Remove the weld flanges before welding piping to
the flanges. Refer to Fig. 1-4 for weld flange loca-
tions. Failure to remove the flanges may damage the
sensors and insulation.
2. To keep debris from entering the heat exchanger during
shipping and storage, the gaskets between the weld flanges
and the fluid heads do not have holes cut into them. The
gaskets have perforations where the holes are to be cut.
Carefully cut a hole along the designated perforations.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove flanges and cut
holes in the gaskets between the flanges and the fluid
heads as indicated.
3. Apply a thin coat of oil to both sides of each gasket to
help ensure a good seal, and reattach each gasket to each
fluid head.
4. Weld the field-supplied piping to the weld flanges.
5. Bolt the weld flanges back onto their respective fluid heads.
IMPORTANT: When bolting the weld flanges to the
fluid heads, be sure to locate the flange such that
the hole in each flange lines up completely with the
hole in each fluid head. If installed incorrectly, part
of the hole in the fluid head will be blocked off.
This will result in impaired fluid flow in high pres-
sure drop applications.
Tighten all cooler head bolts to 250 ft-lb (339 N-m)
before filling system with water (or brine).
6. Install field-supplied differential flow switches in the cooler
piping for protection against loss of flow. The differential
flow switches must be installed on top of the pipe in a
horizontal run and should be at least 5 pipe diameters from
any bend. Install the low-pressure differential flow switch
into the outlet line piping, and install the high-pressure
differential flow switch into the inlet line piping as shown
in Fig. 8.
7. Provide openings in fluid piping for pressure gages and
thermometers (if used). These openings should be 5 to 10
pipe diameters from the unit water nozzles. For thorough
mixing and temperature stabilization, wells in the leav-
ing fluid pipe should extend at least 2 in. (50 mm) into
the pipe.
Accessory Victaulic-type connections are available. Fol-
low the connection directions provided with the accessory.
Although cooler has an air vent, it is recommended that a
field-supplied air vent be installed in the system to facilitate
servicing. Field-supplied shut-off and balancing valves should
also be installed to facilitate servicing and flow balancing.
Locate valves in return and supply fluid lines as close to the
chiller as possible. Locate air vent at highest point of the
cooler fluid system. See Fig. 6.
Provide drain connections at all low points to permit com-
plete drainage of the system.
BRINE UNITS — Special factory modifications to the units
are required to allow them to operate at fluid temperatures
less than 34 F (1.1 C). Be sure that the fluid has sufficient
inhibited ethylene glycol or other suitable corrosion-
resistant antifreeze solution to prevent cooler freeze up.
PREPARATION FOR YEAR-ROUND OPERATION — In
areas where the piping or unit is exposed to 32 F (0 °C) or
lower ambient temperatures, freeze-up protection is recom-
mended using inhibited ethylene glycol or other suitable
corrosion-resistant antifreeze solution and electric heater tapes.
Heater tapes should have a rating for area ambient tempera-
tures and be covered with a suitable thickness of closed-cell
insulation. Route power for the heater tapes from a separately-
fused disconnect. Mount the disconnect within sight from
the unit per local or NEC codes. Identify disconnect as heater
tape power source with warning that power must not be turned
off except when servicing unit.
Fill the fluid loop with water (or brine) and a corrosion-
resistant inhibitor suitable for the water of the area. Consult
the local water authority for characteristics of area water and
a recommended inhibitor for the cooler fluid loop. It is rec-
ommended that once the cooler water lines have been
installed and leak checked that the cooler heads be insulated
with a suitable thickness of closed-cell insulation. This will
minimize the amount of condensation that will form on the
cooler heads.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the unit, be sure all of
the air has been purged from the system.
A drain connection is located at the bottom of the cooler
head. See Fig. 3 and 4 for connection location. Install shut-
off valves to the drain line before filling the system with fluid.

30HXA REFRIGERANT PIPING (See Fig. 7) — Take
care when running the refrigerant piping from the 30HXA
unit to the remote condenser(s) to avoid excessive pres-
sure drops. The pressure drop using R-134a refrigerant is
different than when using R-22 refrigerant. See Tables 2 and
3 for an example fora2F(1.1 C) pressure drop in saturated
temperature in the discharge (hot gas) line and liquid line,
respectively. Refer to Fig. 9 and 10 for line sizing informa-
tion for the discharge and liquid lines for 30HXA (R-134a)

Discharge lines should be looped above the compressors
to avoid having charge flowing back to the oil separator and
compressor during unit shutdown. Wrap back-pressure valve
when brazing discharge line to avoid damaging the valve.
It is recommended that field-supplied pressure relief valves
be installed in each discharge line. Most local codes require
that the relief valves be vented directly to the outdoors. The
vent must not be smaller than the relief valve outlet, and the
pressure setting should be 320 psig (2205 kPa).
Run a field-supplied
1
⁄
4
-in. (6.4 mm) copper line between
the back-pressure valve on the oil separator (bottom pres-
sure vessel) to the fitting on the refrigerant line entering the
economizer port of the compressor to measure oil pressure
differential. See Fig. 11. The back-pressure valve and the fit-
ting on the refrigerant line have a
1
⁄
4
-in. flare fitting for mak-
ing this connection. The flare nut is field supplied.
IMPORTANT: There is a Schrader-type fitting in each
of the two
1
⁄
4
-in. fittings. These Schrader-type fittings
MUST BE REMOVED before running the line.
The 30HXA units are shipped from the factory with a hold-
ing charge of R-134a. Before opening the refrigerant sys-
tem, relieve system pressure and recover system refrigerant
through the charging valve on the cooler.
30HXC CONDENSER CONNECTIONS — The inlet fluid
connection is always the lower of the 2 condenser con-
nections. It is recommended that a screen strainer with a
minimum of 20 mesh be installed ahead of the condenser
inlet to prevent debris from damaging the internal condenser
tubes.
The outlet water connection is the upper connection of
the 2 connections. The condenser has weld couplings to
connect field-supplied piping. Plan the piping arrangement
in accordance with good piping practices and so that the pip-
ing does not cross in front of the condenser head. Use flex-
ible connections on the condenser piping to reduce vibration
transmission. Offset the piping to permit condenser head re-
moval for maintenance purposes. Install pipe hangers where
needed. Make sure no weight or stress is placed on the water
nozzle.

To install condenser piping:
1. Remove bolts on weld flanges, and remove flanges from
condenser water heads.
Remove the weld flanges before welding piping to
the flanges. Refer to Fig. 1 and 2 for weld flange
locations. Failure to remove the flanges may dam-
age the sensors and insulation.
2. To keep debris from entering the heat exchanger during
shipping and storage, the gaskets between the weld flanges
and the water heads do not have holes cut into them. The
gaskets have perforations where the holes are to be cut.
Carefully cut a hole along the designated perforations.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove flanges and cut
holes in the gaskets between the flanges and the wa-
ter heads as indicated.
3. Apply a thin coat of oil to both sides of each gasket to
help ensure a good seal, and reattach each gasket to each
water head.
4. Weld the field-supplied piping to the weld flanges.
5. Bolt the weld flanges back onto their respective water
heads.
IMPORTANT: When bolting the weld flanges to the
water heads, be sure to locate the flange such that
the hole in each flange lines up completely with the
hole in each water head. If installed incorrectly, part
of the hole in the water head will be blocked off.
This will result in impaired water flow in high pres-
sure drop applications.
Provide openings in water piping for pressure gages and
thermometers (if used). These openings should be 5 to 10
pipe diameters from the unit water nozzles. For thorough mix-
ing and temperature stabilization, wells in the leaving water
pipe should extend at least 2 in. (50 mm) into the pipe.
Accessory Victaulic-type connections and condenser-
water thermistors are available. Follow the connection di-
rections as provided with the accessory. If accessory differ-
ential pressure switch, water flow switch, or condenser water
thermistor is to be installed, install the proper fittings into
the condenser water lines before water is connected.
Although condenser has an air vent, it is recommended
that a field-supplied air vent be installed in the system to
facilitate servicing. Field-supplied shut-off and balancing valves
should also be installed to facilitate servicing and flow bal-
ancing. Locate valves in inlet and outlet lines as close to the
chiller as possible. Locate air vents at the highest point of
the system loop. See Fig. 6.
Provide drain connections at all low points in the loop to
permit complete system drainage.
For installations where entering condensing water tem-
perature could be below 70 F (21 C), a field-supplied
leaving water temperature regulating valve is required.
Operation below 70 F (21.1 C) without this valve may cause
the unit to shut down on low oil pressure alarms.
NOTE: This valve should be a temperature-controlled
valve (DO NOT USE a pressure-controlled valve) which
controls to 80 F (26.7 C) leaving water temperature. Be sure
to add a bleed line between the entering and leaving water
lines.
INSTALL PRESSURE RELIEF REFRIGERANT VENT
PIPING — To facilitate refrigerant vent piping, units have
flares for all of the relief fittings. The low side relief valves
on all units are provided with a 3/4 in. NPT flare connec-
tions, and are located on the cooler shell. There are 2 relief
valves for the cooler; one on each circuit.
The 30HXA high side relief valve is provided with a
5/8 in. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers, U.S.A.) flare
connection. The 30HXC high side relief valves are provided
with a 3/4 in. NPT flare connection, and are located on the
condenser shell.
There are 2 relief valves for the separator (30HXA) and
2 for the condenser (30HXC); one for each circuit. Most
local codes require that these devices be piped to the out-
side. If vent piping is required by local codes, these con-
nections have been provided to aid in the connection of vent
piping in accordance with ASHRAE 15 (American Society
of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers),
Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration. If vent piping is
required, do not restrict the vent flow in any way.
NOTE: When accessory suction service valve kit is in-
stalled, there are 2 additional high-side pressure relief valves.
Pipe these valves per local codes. These are located on the
discharge line between the muffler and the discharge shut-
off valve.
Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections — The
electrical characteristics of the available power supply must
agree with the unit nameplate rating. Supply voltage must
be within the limits shown.
FIELD POWER CONNECTIONS (See Fig. 12) — All power
wiring must comply with applicable local and national codes.
Install field-supplied, branch circuit fused disconnect(s) of a
type that can be locked off or open. Disconnect(s) must be
located within sight and readily accessible from the unit in
compliance with NEC Article 440-14. See Tables 4A and 4B
for unit electrical data. See Tables 5A and 5B for compres-
sor electrical data.
IMPORTANT: the 30HX units have a factory-installed
option available for a non-fused disconnect for unit power
supply. If the unit is equipped with this option, all field
power wiring should be made to the non-fused discon-
nect since no terminal blocks are supplied.
All units have a single location for power entry to sim-
plify the field power wiring. Maximum wire size that the
unit terminal block or non-fused disconnect will accept is
500 kcmil.
All 380/415-3-50, 460-3-60, and 575-3-60 units require
a single field-supplied power supply. All 230-3-50 and
208/230-3-60 units require 2 separate field-supplied power
supplies.
All 380-3-60 units (except the 30HXC/A186 units)
require a single field-supplied power supply. The
30HXC/A186 units require 2 field-supplied power supplies.
The 30HXA136-186 and 30HXC171,186, 346-3-50 units
require 2 field-supplied power supplies. All other 346-3-50
units require a single field-supplied source.
FIELD CONTROL POWER CONNECTIONS (See
Fig. 13) — Units with a power supply of 208/230-, 460-,
and 575-3-60 require 115-1-60 control circuit power. Units
with a 380-3-60 power supply require 230-1-60 control cir-
cuit power. All other units 230-1-50 control circuit power.
Field control power connections are made at terminals 1 and
2 of TB4.

ICF — Maximum Instantaneous Current Flow during start-up
(the point in the starting sequence where the sum of the
LRA for the start-up compressor, plus the total RLA for
all running compressors, plus the total FLA for all run-
ning fan motors is at a maximum)
MCA — Minimum Circuit Ampacity (for wire sizing)
MOCP — Maximum Overcurrent Protection
RLA — Rated Load Amps
WD — Wye-Delta Start
XL — Across-the-Line Start
*Refer to Carrier’s electronic catalog for the most current electrical
data.
†Wye-Delta Start is standard. Not available in across-the-line start.
**The 30HX186 units have 2 terminal blocks/non-fused disconnects
and 6 parallel conductors/non-fused disconnects.
††The 30HXC171 and 186 units have 2 terminal blocks/non-fused
disconnects and 6 parallel conductors/non-fused disconnects.
NOTES:
1. Main power must be supplied from a field-supplied fused electri-
cal service with a (factory- or field-installed) disconnect located in
sight from the unit.
2. Control circuit power must be supplied from a separate source through
a field-supplied disconnect. The control circuit accessory trans-
former may be applied to power from the main unit power supply.
3. Maximum incoming wire size for each terminal block is 500 kcmil.
4. Maximum allowable phase imbalance is: voltage, 2%; amps, 5%.
5. Units with one MCA value have one main terminal block. Units
with 2 MCA values require multiple conductors.
6. Use copper conductors only.
7. The MOCP is calculated as follows:
MOCP = (2.25) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size
the fuse one size down from the result. The RLAs are listed on the
unit nameplate.
The recommended fuse size in amps (RFA) is calculated as
follows:
RFA = (1.50) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size
the fuse one size up from the result. The RLAs are listed on the
unit nameplate.
8. Units have the following power wiring terminal blocks and parallel
conductors:

ICF — Maximum Instantaneous Current Flow during start-up
(the point in the starting sequence where the sum of the
LRA for the start-up compressor, plus the total RLA for
all running compressors, plus the total FLA for all run-
ning fan motors is at a maximum)
MCA — Minimum Circuit Ampacity (for wire sizing)
MOCP — Maximum Overcurrent Protection
RLA — Rated Load Amps
WD — Wye-Delta Start
XL — Across-the-Line Start
*Refer to Carrier’s electronic catalog for the most current electrical
data.
†Wye-Delta Start is standard. Not available in across-the-line start.
**The 30HX186 units have 2 terminal blocks/non-fused disconnects
and 6 parallel conductors/non-fused disconnects.
††The 30HXA136-186 units have 2 terminal blocks/non-fused
disconnects and 6 parallel conductors/non-fused disconnects.
NOTES:
1. Main power must be supplied from a field-supplied fused electri-
cal service with a (factory- or field-installed) disconnect located in
sight from the unit.
2. Control circuit power must be supplied from a separate source through
a field-supplied disconnect. The control circuit accessory trans-
former may be applied to power from the main unit power supply.
3. Maximum incoming wire size for each terminal block is 500 kcmil.
4. Maximum allowable phase imbalance is: voltage, 2%; amps, 5%.
5. Units with one MCA value have one main terminal block. Units
with 2 MCA values require multiple conductors.
6. Use copper conductors only.
7. The MOCP is calculated as follows:
MOCP = (2.25) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size
the fuse one size down from the result. The RLAs are listed on the
unit nameplate.
The recommended fuse size in amps (RFA) is calculated as
follows:
RFA = (1.50) (largest RLA) + the sum of the other RLAs. Size
the fuse one size up from the result. The RLAs are listed on the
unit nameplate.
8. Units have the following power wiring terminal blocks and parallel
conductors:

Terminals TB2-11 and TB2-12 are provided for field in-
stallation of a chilled water (fluid) pump interlock (CWPI)
and a chilled water (fluid) flow switch (CWFS). These de-
vices are to be installed in series. Contacts must be rated for
day circuit applications capable of handling a 24-vac to
50 mA load.
Accessory remote on-off switch can be wired into TB2-13
and TB2-14. To use this feature, remove the factory-installed
jumper and install the device in series. See Fig. 13 for re-
mote on-off, CWPI, and CWFS wiring. Contacts must be
rated for dry load application capable of handling a 24-vac
to 50 mA load.
Do not use interlocks or other safety device contacts
connected between TB2 terminals 13 and 14 as remote
on-off. Connection of safeties or other interlocks be-
tween these 2 terminals will result in an electrical
bypass if the REMOTE-OFF-LOCAL switch is in the
LOCAL position. If remote on-off unit control is re-
quired, a field-supplied relay must be installed in the
unit control box and wired as shown in Fig. 13. Failure
to wire the remote on-off as recommended will result in
tube freeze damage.
Terminals 2 and 3 of TB2 have been provided for a
field-supplied remote alarm (ALM). If an audible alarm is
installed, an alarm shutoff is also recommended. Contacts
are rated for 125 va at either 115 or 230 v control power. See
Fig. 13.
Terminals 4 and 5 of TB2 have been provided for a
field-supplied chilled water (fluid) pump relay (CWP). A
field-supplied power supply of appropriate voltage must be
provided. Contacts are rated for 125 va at either 115 or
230 v control power. See Fig. 13.
Terminals 1 and 6 of TB2 have been provided for a
field-supplied control relay for the remote condenser (30HXA)
or a condenser pump relay (30HXC). A field-supplied power
supply of appropriate voltage must be provided.
Step 5 — Install Accessories
ELECTRICAL — Several optional control accessories are
available to provide the following features:
• control transformer
• cooler pump/flow switch interlock
• cooler pump control
• expanded display panel
• remote alarm
• remote on-off
• pulldown control
• occupancy scheduling
• demand limit control
• temperature reset (from occupied space or outdoor-air
temperature)
• dual set point control
• condenser water sensors
• level II communications (CCN
[Carrier Comfort Network])
Refer to Start-Up and Operation literature and sepa-
rate accessory installation instructions for additional
information.
30HXA LOW-AMBIENT OPERATION — If outdoor
ambient operating temperatures below 60 F (15 C) are ex-
pected, refer to separate installation instructions for low-
ambient operation using accessory MotormastertIII control.
MINIMUM LOAD ACCESSORY — If minimum load
accessory is required, use the appropriate package. Refer to
unit Price Pages or contact your local Carrier representative
for more details. For installation details, refer to separate in-
stallation instructions supplied with the accessory package.
MISCELLANEOUSACCESSORIES — For applications re-
quiring special accessories, the following packages are avail-
able: control power transformer, minimum load control, sound
reduction enclosure, external vibration isolation, expanded
display, Victaulic-type connections, temperature reset sen-
sor, and chilled fluid flow switch. Refer to individual acces-
sory installation instructions for installation details.
Step 6 — Leak Test Unit
30HXC UNIT — These units are shipped from the factory
with a full charge of R-134a (See Tables 1A and 1B). Per-
form a leak test to ensure that leaks have not developed
during unit shipment. Dehydration of the system is not re-
quired unless the entire refrigerant charge has been lost. There
are a number of Swage-Lok fittings used on the refrigerant
piping. If a leak is detected at any of these fittings, tighten
outside nut
1
⁄
8
turn.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THESE FITTINGS. Over-
tightening will result in the tube being crushed and will
cause a refrigerant system leak.
30HXA UNITS — These units are shipped with a holding
charge of R-134a. Leak test and dehydrate the complete sys-
tem (including both field and factory installed piping).
Step 7 — Refrigerant Charge
IMPORTANT: These units are designed for use with
R-134a only. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER refrig-
erant in these units without first consulting your
Carrier representative.
The liquid charging method is recommended for com-
plete charging or when additional charge is required.
When charging, circulate water through the condens-
er and cooler at all times to prevent freezing. Freezing
damage is considered abuse and may void the Carrier
warranty.
DO NOT OVERCHARGE system. Overcharging re-
sults in higher discharge pressure with higher cooling
fluid consumption, possible compressor damage, and higher
power consumption.
26
30HXC UNITS — The 30HXC units are shipped from the
factory with a full charge of R-134a. Unit should not need
to be charged at installation unless a leak was detected in
Step 6 — Leak Test Unit section on page 26. If dehydration
and recharging is necessary, use industry standard practices
or refer to Carrier Standard Services Techniques Manual as
required.
30HXA UNITS — The 30HXAunits are shipped with a hold-
ing charge of R-134a. The complete charge for the 30HXA,
the remote condenser(s), and interconnecting piping must be
field supplied.
To charge the 30HXA systems:
1. Add liquid charge into the cooler using the
1
⁄
4
-in. Schrader-
type fitting located on the tube going into the bottom
of the cooler. This fitting is located between the elec-
tronic expansion valve (EXV) (076-146 units) or the
economizer (161-186 units) and the cooler. Add approxi-
mately 2 lb/nominal ton (0.9 kg/nominal kW). This amount
of charge should be sufficient to allow the unit to start.
The approximate system charges are shown in Table 6.
2. Raise the compressor discharge to approximately 125 F
(51.7 C) saturated discharge temperature (185 psig
[1276 kPa]) by throttling the condenser air (or water) in-
take. Add charge until there is approximately 18 to 20 F
(10.0 to 11.1 C) of system subcooling (saturated dis-
charge temperature − actual temperature entering the EXV).
NOTE: On the units equipped with economizers
(30HXA161-186), the EXV is located inside the econo-
mizer so the temperature must be measured entering the
economizer (tube entering bottom of economizer).
3. Check for a clear sight glass. If the unit is not fully loaded,
the sight glass might be flashing. This is normal for a
partially-loaded unit.
