Line

During the installation of any heat pump or a/c system, it is
important to properly isolate the refrigerant lines to prevent
unnecessary
vibration. Line set contact with the structure
(wall, ceiling or floor) causes some objectionable
noise
when vibration is translated into sound, As a result, more
energy or vibration can be expected,
Closer attention to
line set isolation must be observed.

1, Placement - Be aware some localities are adopting
sound ordinances based on how noisy the unit is from
the adjacent property not at the original installation.
Install the unit as far as possible from the property line.
When possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window, Glass has a very high level of sound transmission. Figure 4 shows how to place the outdoor unit
and line set,

Brazing Connection
Procedure
1, Cut ends of the refrigerant lines square (free from
nicks or dents), Debur the ends, The pipe must remain
round, do not pinch end of the line.
2, Before making line set connections, use dry nitrogen
to purge the refrigerant piping. This helps prevent oxidation and introducing moisture into the system.
3, Use silver alloy brazing rods (5 or 6 percent minimum
silver alloy for copper-to-copper brazing or 45 percent
silver alloy for copper-to-brass
or copper-to-steel
brazing) which are rated for use with HCFC22 refrigerant. Wrap a wet cloth around the valve body and the
copper tube stub, Braze the line set to the service

NOTE - Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port; however, connecting it to
the vapor port better protects the manifold gauge set
from high pressure damage,
6. Adjust the nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa).
Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge
set which will pressurize line set and indoor unit.
7. After a few minutes, open a refrigerant port to ensure
the refrigerant you added is adequate to be detected.
(Amounts of refrigerant will vary with line lengths.)
Check all joints for leaks. Purge nitrogen and
HCFC-22 mixture. Correct any leaks and recheck.

Evacuating the system of noncondensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Noncondensables are defined
as any gas that will not condense under temperatures and
pressures present during operation of an air conditioning
system, Noncondensables and water vapor combine with
refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper piping and compressor parts and can lead to improper charge
levels.

3. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum gauge) to
the center port of the manifold gauge set,
4. Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum
pump.
5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute
pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury). During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to
determine if there is a rapid rise in absolute pressure,
A rapid rise in pressure indicates a relatively large
leak, If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure,

When the absolute pressure requirement above has
been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to an upright cylinder of
HCFC-22 refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valves
to break the vacuum from 1 to 2 psig positive pressure
in the line set and indoor unit. Close manifold gauge
valves and shut off the HCFC-22 cylinder and remove
the manifold gauge set,

IMPORTANT

NOTE - The term absolute pressure means the total
actual pressure within a given volume or system,
above the absolute zero of pressure, Absolute pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure,
6. When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns
(29.01 inches of mercury), close the manifold gauge
valves, turn off the vacuum pump and disconnect the
manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump.
Attach the manifold center port hose to a nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034
kPa) and purge the hose. Open the manifold gauge
valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor
unit, Close the manifold gauge valves.

1. Rotate the fan to check for frozen bearings or binding.
2. Inspect all factory- and field-installed wiring for loose
connections.
3. After evacuation is complete, open the liquid line and
vapor line service valves to release the refrigerant
charge (contained in outdoor unit) into the system.
4. Replace the stem caps and secure finger tight, then
tighten an additional one-sixth (1/6) of a turn,
5. Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The
voltage must be within the range listed on the unit's
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until you
have consulted the power company and the voltage
condition has been corrected.

CAUTION

6. Set the thermostat for a cooling demand. Turn on power to the indoor blower and close the outdoor unit disconnect switch to start the unit,
7. Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate.
7. Shut off the nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold
gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold
gauge valves to release the nitrogen from the line set
and indoor unit.

NOTE - Use HS29-060 values for -062 and -065 units.
2, Connect the center manifold hose to an upright cylinder of HCFC-22,

3, Set the room thermostat to call for heat. This will
create the necessary load for properly charging the
system in the cooling cycle,
4, Use a digital thermometer to record the outdoor ambient temperature.
5. When the heating demand has been satisfied, switch
the thermostat to cooling mode with a set point of 68 <_
F
(20 <_
C), When pressures have stabilized, use a digital
thermometer to record the liquid line temperature,
6. The outdoor temperature will determine which charging method to use, Proceed with the appropriate
charging procedure,
Weighing
in the Charge - Fixed Orifice or TXV
Systems
- Outdoor
Temp < 65°F (18°C)
If the system is void of refrigerant, or if the outdoor ambient
temperature is cool, the refrigerant charge should be
weighed into the unit, Do this after any leaks have been repaired.
1, Recover the refrigerant from the unit,
2, Conduct a leak check, then evacuate as previously
outlined.
3, Weigh in the unit nameplate charge,
If weighing facilities are not available or if you are charging
the unit during warm weather, follow one of the other procedures outlined below,

3. Use a temperature/pressure chart for HCFC-22 to determine the saturation temperature for the liquid line
pressure reading.
4. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturation
temperature (according to the chart) to determine subcooling. (Saturation temperature - Liquid line temperature = Subcooling)
5. Compare the subcooling value with those in table 5. If
subcooling is greater than shown, recover some refrigerant. If subcooling is less than shown, add some refrigerant.
NOTE - See HS29 3-phase unit charging sticker on
unit for 3-phase charging information.
Charging
Using the Approach Method
TXV Systems - Outdoor Temp. _>65°F (18 ° C)
The following procedure is intended as a general guide and
is for use on expansion valve systems only. For best results, indoor temperature should be 70°F (21°C) to 80°F
(26°C), Monitor system pressures while charging.
1, Attach high pressure gauge set and operate unit for
several minutes to allow system pressures to stabilize.
2, Compare stabilized pressures with those provided in
table 6, "Normal Operating Pressures." Pressures
higher than those listed indicate that the system is
overcharged. Pressures lower than those listed indicate that the system is undercharged, Verify adjusted
charge using the approach method,

Charging
Using the Subcooling
Method - Fixed
Orifice Systems
- Outdoor Temp. _>65°F (18°C)
If you charge a fixed orifice system when the outdoor ambient is 65 _F (18 <_
C) or above, use the subcooling method to
charge the unit.

A IMPORTANT

1, With the manifold gauge hose still on the liquid service
port and the unit operating stably, use a digital thermometer to record the liquid line temperature,
2, At the same time, record the liquid line pressure reading,

Start Kit
The -012, -018, and -024 single phase units have internal
start components and do not require field installation of a
compressor start kit.
High and Low Pressure
Switches
(international
units and units with factory-installed
options)
International units and units with factory-equipped options
include high and low pressure switches. The pressure
switches are located on valve cores in the liquid line to allow for easy access. The manually reset high pressure
switch protects the system from high pressure conditions
as a result of a fan failure or a blocked or dirty coil. The low
pressure switch (SPST, NO) protects the system compressor from damage due to a loss of charge. The low
pressure switch trips at 15 + 5 psig (103 + 34 kPa) and automatically resets at 25 + 3 psig (172 + 21 kPa).

Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency.
NOTE - Use HS29-060 values for-062 and -065 units.
