DUCT SYSTEM
The duct system and load sizing calculation should follow the design standards of Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) - manuals D & J - or the American Society of
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) Latest Edition
Fundamentals Volume.
To aid you in evaluating existing duct systems quickly, review the chart on Page 11 which shows
the CFM capacity for square inch areas, based on .10" wc static pressure (SP) loss on the supply
systems.
Each of the system's components (trunk lines, take-offs, runs and register and grill-free areas)
must be properly sized and matched together to ensure you are obtaining the air handling
capacity of the duct system. A 12x8 duct with a 400 CFM capacity, for example, WILL NOT
flow 400 CFM if the register(s) to which it connects can only flow a total of 200 CFM.
The air handling capacity MUST BE EQUAL TO the supply system at a minimum when sizing
the return air duct system. It is recommended to follow design parameters set down by ACCA or
ASHRAE on the return air duct systems.

TUBING INSTALLATION
The compressor oil is constantly pumped through the refrigerant lines in normal operation of an
air conditioning system. To ensure proper lubrication of the compressor by avoiding oil
accumulation at undesirable points in the system, follow the guidelines listed below:
1. No traps in the suction line are necessary if the outdoor condensing unit is level with the
indoor evaporator coil or the indoor evaporator coil is 4 feet or less lower then the outdoor
condensing unit. Any horizontal runs of suction line should have minimum 1/2" pitch for
every 10 feet of line towards the outdoor condensing unit. See Figure F below.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel.
14
Figure F
2. A trap is necessary in the suction line at the indoor evaporator coil if the indoor evaporator coil
is more than 4 feet below the outdoor condensing unit.
NOTE: Multiple suction line traps are recommended for longer or multiple horizontal lines.
(See Fig. G1).
An inverted trap should be installed on the horizontal suction line near the evaporator coil to
prevent liquid flood back to the compressor (See Fig. G2) if the indoor evaporator coil is
located 10’ or more above the condensing unit.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel.
15
A gradual loop in the tubing can be constructed to take up the excess tubing if you find that too
much tubing has been brought onto a job. Such a loop MUST be kept in a horizontal (flat) plane
to avoid trapping the oil.
Refrigerant lines should be inserted into a suitable conduit or raceway when the lines are to be
buried between the building and the outdoor condensing unit. The lines must be provided with
sufficient protection and support to prevent damage when installed above ground.
When making "on the job" tubing, a solder of 95% tin, 5% antimony or any of the silver solders
such as SilFos, Phos-Copper, Easy-Flo 35 or 45, should be used. No attempt will be made here to
instruct proper soldering or brazing technique but it is necessary that the installer be properly
instructed in accordance with good existing practices.
All joints and fittings must be properly leak tested as per EPA guidelines after “on the job”
tubing has been made up. The line set and the evaporator coil must be evacuated to 29.96” Hg
(1000 microns) or lower when all joints and fittings are leak free. The service valves on the
condenser may then be opened to release the refrigerant to the system. Verify proper system
performance. See condensing unit manual for additional performance data.
HOW TO MEASURE SUPERHEAT (NOTE: A good electric resistance thermometer and
accurate suction pressure gauge are necessary).
Superheat is measured by taking a temperature and pressure reading. See Figure I. The pressure
reading is gauged at the pressure port which is located on the suction service valve. The
temperature reading is taken at the evaporator coil on the header assembly in the 2:00 o'clock or
10:00 o'clock position with header assembly tube as the center of the clock.
Figure I
All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel.
16
Read the temperature at header assembly to calculate the superheat. Then read the suction
pressure and then add the line loss of 2 lbs. for 25’ of tubing. Then convert pressure into
temperature.
Next, subtract the converted suction temperature from the measured coil header temperature and
the end result is the superheat.
EXAMPLE:
Measured Temp = 50oF
(Off header assembly at 10:00 or 2:00 position) See Figure I.
Measured Pressure = 71PSI + 2PSI = 73PSI which equates to a 43oF saturation temperature.
(Measured from pressure port)
(Listed temperature for measured pressure according to R-22 temperature scale on manifold
gauge or R-22 section of pressure temperature chart)
The difference equals the degrees superheat = 7oF
All 10 SEER models of Thermo Pride air conditioners should have a 3oF to 7oF superheat at an
85oF to 95oF outdoor temperature and a 70oF to 80oF indoor temperature. The superheat
temperature will not be accurate if the indoor temperature is not within the 70oF to 80oF range.
Therefore, an indoor temperature within the above range must be achieved before an accurate
superheat can be measured.
MEASURING TEMPERATURE DROP ACROSS THE “A” COIL:
The temperature drop across the coil should be around 15oF to 20oF difference between inlet and
outlet air. This should be measured as close to the air handler as possible, to eliminate duct
losses.
ELECTRICAL
All wiring must conform to the provisions of local codes or in the absence of local codes with the
provisions of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition and this
instruction manual. Equivalent type wire must be used if any of the original wire supplied with
the unit needs to be replaced A 10 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: Condensing unit is not included in above amp rating.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel.
17
The following points must be checked by the installer and/or electrician before the air
conditioning system is started:
1. Check every electrical connection of "PUSH-ON" or "SCREW-ON" terminals to ensure it is
on tightly on its proper post.
2. Review wiring diagram for proper routing.
A loose terminal will cause poor flow of electrical power and result in very high current draw.
This can lead to blown fuses or burned wires.
UA ADAPTER CABINET
The UA adapter cabinet is designed to be used in conjunction with the AH AIR HANDLER to
allow a free standing (vertical discharge) installation. The UA cabinet is shipped completely
assembled and ready for installation.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel.
18
A return air opening can be cut in any of the four sides or the bottom of the UA cabinet. The AH
AIR HANDLER is then placed on the UA adapter cabinet, inlet side down. The AH rests on the
support angles of the UA adapter cabinet. The UA cabinet is equipped with a permanent
washable air filter.
When using the UA air handler, the coil drain and coil drain pan must be utilized in place of the
primary drain and primary drain pan found in the air handler.
AH AIR HANDLER RECOMMENDED SUSPENSION PROCEDURE
The detail below is the proper and safest way to suspend the AH. These components should be
easily found at your local hardware store.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified personnel.
