9.5 AIR-COOLED CONDENSER CONNECTION
The refrigerant inlet and outlet connections on the air-cooled condenser can be identied by their adhesive labels. To facili-
tate the connection there is a section of pipe approximately 100 mm long, crimped and welded shut on the free end.
A check valve (supplied loose) has to be installed on the liquid pipe. When installing the valve, make sure the direction of
the arrow matches the direction of ow. The check valve can be installed with a vertical or inclined longitudinal axis and the arrow
facing upward, and with a horizontal axis.

9.5.1 TMC CONDENSER CONNECTION DIMENSIONS
The diameters of the TMC condensers’ cooling connections for supply and liquid pipes (depending on the size of standard
models identied by the code number sequence) are indicated in the order conrmation or in the following table:

9.5.2 LAC (LOW AMBIENT CONTROL) VALVE CONNECTION (ACCESSORY)
The purpose of the LAC (Low Ambient Control) valve is to by-pass the condenser, injecting hot gas into the liquid pipe, to
keep the pressure of the liquid refrigerant stable below 20 BarG. It is recommended to use the LAC valve in very cold climates, in the
case of inverter compressors and in the case of condensers that are oversized compared to the actual needs of the units.
The LAC valve (included with the supply) must be installed on the air-cooled condensers cooling connections as shown in
the gure. The temperature probe needs to be left free to read the ambient temperature. Moreover, a check valve (not supplied) has
to be installed on the liquid pipe. When installing the valve, make sure the direction of the arrow matches the direction of ow. It is
advisable to install the check valve with vertical axis and the arrow facing upwards; installations with inclined or horizontal longitu-
dinal axes are tolerable.
