Accessory Hot Gas Bypass
50/60 Hz

Installation Instructions
Part No. 30GT911054
GENERAL
These installation instructions cover field installation of the
accessory hot gas bypass valve, pilot valve, and hot gas solenoid. For 30GT units, these instructions are intended for units
with a starting serial number of 2294F--- or higher. The hot gas
bypass package is not required on 30GT015, 50 Hz units or on
30GT020, 60 Hz units, since these 2 units have hot gas bypass
installed as standard from the factory. See table below for a listing of package contents.
NOTE: Since the 30GT015-035 and 38AKS014-024 units are
single-circuit units, only one accessory package is required per
unit.

gloves. Use care in handling equipment.

Be sure power to equipment is shut off before performing
maintenance or service functions. Electrical shock may
cause personal injury.

INSTALLATION IN 30GT
AIR-COOLED CHILLERS
Step 1 — Install Piping

Shut off all power to the unit and remove refrigerant charge
before continuing with this accessory installation. Failure
to do so may result in personal injury.
See Fig. 1 for a schematic of the unit piping.
BYPASS LINE — Install the 5/8 in., field-supplied line
between the factory-supplied stubs in the discharge line (from
the compressor) and in the liquid line between the expansion
valve and cooler. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: The stubs are sealed as shipped from the factory.
Install the field-supplied shut-off valve in the bypass line as
close to the discharge line as possible. The shut-off valve will
aid in the pumpdown of the low side when closed.
HOT GAS BYPASS VALVE — Install the valve in the bypass
line near the shut-off valve installed in the Bypass Line section
above. The bypass valve has 5/8 in. ODF inlet and outlet (one
each), and a 3/8 in. ODM equalizer port (sweat connection). To
ensure proper operation, the valve should be installed in a horizontal section of the bypass line and the pilot valve should be
installed above bypass valve body.
PILOT VALVE AND HOT GAS SOLENOID — Install the
hot gas solenoid onto the pilot valve. The solenoid fits over the
stem of the valve and attaches with the supplied clip on the top
(over the coil).
Install the pilot valve/solenoid assembly in the external
equalizer line of the bypass valve (3/8 in. ODF equalizer port).
The pilot valve has a 3/8 in. ODF inlet and a 1/4 in. SAE
(Society of Automotive Engineers, U.S.A.) connection to the
TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) equalizer line.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the sweat connection on the hot gas
bypass valve is facing the pilot valve/solenoid assembly in
the equalizer line (See Fig. 1).

Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

NOTE: The bypass valve in this package has 5/8 in.
connections and can be used directly on 30GT015035 units.

Fig. 1 — 30GT Piping Schematic
Install the field-supplied 1/4 in. OD tubing from the SAE
connection to the TXV equalizer line. If the connection is made
directly to the TXV, use the field-supplied, 3-way tee with an
internal branch (install horizontally in the line with the internal
branch attaching directly to the TXV). If the connection is
made into the equalizer line, use the field-supplied, standard 3way tee.

Step 2 — Dehydrate and Recharge the Circuit — When piping is completed, leak test the assembly and
replace the filter drier cores. Then evacuate, dehydrate, and recharge the circuit, using approved refrigeration practices.

2. Install a field-supplied 1/4 in. NPT to 1/4 in. flare fitting on
the gage connection port of the compressor suction
service valve.
3. Sweat the pilot solenoid valve supplied in the hot gas accessory package directly to the hot gas bypass valve on
the 3/8 in. ODF external equalizer port.
4. Install field-supplied 1/4 in. copper tube (flared with a nut
on each end) between the compressor suction valve and
the hot gas pilot solenoid valve.
5. Connect a field-supplied 5/8 in. OD copper tube between
the discharge line process tube (hot gas stub) and a fieldsupplied manual shutoff service valve, avoiding any traps
in piping.
6. Connect another field-supplied 5/8 in. OD copper tube between the manual shutoff valve outlet and the hot gas bypass valve inlet.
7. Connect a field-supplied 5/8 in. OD copper tube between
the leaving side of the hot gas bypass valve and the Sporlan
auxiliary side connector (distributor-side connector).

INSTALLATION IN 38AKS014-024/INDOOR
FAN COIL (CONSTANT VOLUME)
SPLIT SYSTEM COMBINATION
Step 1 — Install Piping (See Fig. 4)

Shut off all power to the unit and remove refrigerant charge
using an approved refrigerant recovery device before proceeding with installation. Failure to do so may result for
personal injury.
IMPORTANT: Do not bury refrigerant piping underground.
1. In applications where the air handler refrigerant distributor is not equipped with a side outlet connection, it is recommended that a Sporlan in-line auxiliary side connector
with standard distributor be used. Refer to the installation
instructions for the indoor fan coil to obtain nozzle size
and distributor connection size. Select the auxiliary side
connector based on this information. The side connector
must be installed on refrigerant circuit no. 1 (first stage of
cooling) of the fan coil being used.

ACCESSORY OPERATION AND
ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment — The hot gas bypass valve is set to begin
opening when the suction pressure falls to approximately
62 psig (427 kPa). The pressure corresponds to a chilled water
set point of approximately 44 F (6 C). If the chilled water set
point is lower than 44 F (6 C), the bypass setting must be decreased. The opposite is true if the chilled water setting is
above 44 F (6 C).
Condensing temperature also affects the setting of the bypass
valve, and a change may be required. To adjust the setting of the
bypass valve, a 5/16 in. hex wrench is required. Remove the cap
on the valve, and turn the adjustment nut with the hex wrench.
Turning in a clockwise direction increases the setting, and turning in a counterclockwise direction decreases the setting.
Operation — The hot gas bypass accessory operates as follows: When a call for cooling is received, the compressor start
circuit is energized, along with the hot gas solenoid (HGS) and
all unloaders. Once the HGS circuit is completed, the solenoid
valve opens allowing the hot gas bypass valve (HGBV) to
sense suction pressure and respond accordingly.
If the suction pressure is below the HGBP (hot gas bypass)
valve setting, the valve begins to open. The valve continues to
open until it either reaches an equilibrium or the maximum
open position. Discharge gas is bypassed into the mixed-phase
line between the expansion valve and the cooler. This condition
continues until the suction pressure rises above the HGBP
valve setting, a second stage of temperature control is called
for, or the unit cycles off.
