INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Units should not be stored where exposed to the weather
because of the sensitive control mechanisms and electrical
devices. Locate unit indoors.
See Fig. 1 and Table 1 for door clearances and space
requirements. Provide clearances at one end for removal of
tubes (Fig. 1, callouts 7 and 8).
Floor must be strong enough to support to operating
weight. If necessary, add supporting structure (steel beams or
reinforced concrete slab) to floor to transfer weight to nearest
beam(s).
All units have spring vibration isolators and mufflers.
Interconnecting piping must be flexible enough to prevent
vibration transmission. If vibration still exists, use isolators on
unit itself. If unit is installed on upper floor where vibration
cannot be transmitted to ground, use field-purchased vibration
mountings under each mounting hole. Back off mounting lock
bolts to allow compressor to float freely: otherwise, excessive
vibration will result.
Move unit on its skid to final location. If using chain hoist,
use a spreader bar so that control boxes will not be damaged
by sling. Place sling under skid. Do not attach sling to piping
or component. Move unit in upright position: lower gently
from truck or rollers. Use enough pipes to support skid when
rolling.
Figure 1 shows location mounting holes. Areas where
corners will be located must be level before unit is placed.
Level unit with spirit level on frame channels. Bolt unit to
floor (recommended for basement or ground floor installations
that transmit vibration to ground without affecting building
structure).
See Table 2 for weight distribution.
CONDENSER
Run water supply lines as short as possible. Size lines
according to head pressure available (not necessarily
connection size), especially on cooling tower application. See
system Design Manual, Part 3, Piping Design.
For installation requiring a water regulating valve, a
separate valve is required (not supplied by carrier) for each
refrigerant circuit. Water regulating valve must be installed on
cooling tower application where low outdoor ambient affect
head pressure.
The 30HS unit using air-cooled or evaporative condensers
should have adequate means for head pressure control when
operating below 60 F outdoors ambient.
Accessory steel manifold packages for inlet and outlet
condenser water are available for 30HR units. Each manifold
is furnished in two sections, to be field welded as shown in
Fig. 1 Manifolds should not be used where regulating valves
are required because separate valves must be used on each
condenser circuit.
Set water-regulating valve to maintain design head
pressure. Do not adjust to compensate for high head pressures
caused by fouled condenser tubes, excess refrigerant or the
presence of non-condensable. Due to changes in water
temperature, it may be necessary to adjust the valve
seasonally, After adjusting for design head pressure, shut unit
down. Water regulating valve should shut off flow of water in
a few minutes. If it does not, it will be necessary to raise the
head pressure setting. Make sure that capillary tube from each
water-regulating valve is connected to the proper condenser
purge valve.
Condenser water must enter at bottom for proper operation
of the internal sub cooler in the bottom of the condenser (Fig. 1).
CAUTION: Retighten all condenser head bolts before filling
system with water.
Discharge pipe from high side pressure relief valve (HR units)
must not be smaller than valve size. HS units require field-
installed high side pressure relief valve near condenser in each
refrigerant circuit. Most local codes require piping from valve
to outdoors.
Water leaving condenser is under pressure and should not
be connected directly into sewer lines. Check local codes. A
3/8-in. drain plug is located at each end of each condenser.
NOTE: provide means for draining system in winter and for
repairs.
Two check valves and two pressure relief valves are
shipped loose with each condenser less (HS) unit as
standard equipment, Install one of each in the discharge
line of each refrigerant circuit, downstream of the hot gas
muffler. Locate the relief valve close to remote condenser.
There must be no shutoff device between relief valve and
condenser; Installation of these valves must be in
compliance with all applicable codes
