Condensing Unit Placement
Space and Location Requirements
The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding upon the location of
air-cooled equipment is the provision for a supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated
air from the condensing unit or remote condenser area. Where this essential requirement is not adhered
to, it will result in higher head pressures, which cause poor operation and potential failure of equipment.
Units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts. Corrosive atmospheres
require custom designed condensers.
Another consideration which must be taken is that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive
spaces and must have adequate support to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building.
Units should be mounted over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms and other auxiliary areas where high
levels of sound are not an important factor. Sound and structural consultants should be retained for
recommendations. (Refer to actual building plans for unit locations.)

Refrigeration Piping And Line Sizing
Refrigeration Piping And Line Sizing
The system as supplied by Heatcraft Refrigeration Products, was thoroughly cleaned and dehydrated
at the factory. Foreign matter may enter the system by way of the evaporator to condensing unit
piping. Therefore, care must be used during installation of the piping to prevent entrance of foreign
matter. Install all refrigeration system components in accordance with applicable local and national
codes and in conformance with good practice required for the proper operation of the system. The
refrigerant pipe size should be selected from the tables in Refrigeration System Installation Manual, Part
Number 25001201. The interconnecting pipe size is not necessarily the same size as the stub-out on the
condensing unit or the evaporator.
The following procedures should be followed:
(a) Do not leave dehydrated compressors or filter-driers on condensing units open to the atmosphere any
longer than is absolutely necessary.
(b) Use only refrigeration grade (ACR) copper tubing, properly sealed against contamination.
(c) Suction lines should slope 1/4” per 10 feet towards the compressor (in direction of flow).
(d) Suitable P-type oil traps should be located at the base of each suction riser to enhance oil return to
the compressor.
(e) For desired method of superheat measurement, a pressure tap should be installed in each evaporator
suction line in the proximity of the expansion valve bulb.
(f) When brazing refrigerant lines, an inert gas should be passed through the line at low pressure to
prevent scaling and oxidation inside the tubing. Dry nitrogen is preferred.
(g) Use only a suitable silver solder alloy on suction and liquid lines.
(h) Limit the soldering paste of flux to the minimum required to prevent contamination of the solder joint
internally. Flux only the male portion of the connection, never the female. After brazing, remove
excess flux.
(i) Wrap expansion valves with wet rags during brazing to the liquid line.
CAUTION: If the temperature gets too high, these components may be damaged. Heat absorbing
compounds or wet rags must be used to protect the expansion valve when brazing to the refrigerant
piping/line connections, and the suction line sensor must be removed per above instructions.
(j) Do not use “bull head” tees. This will cause oil return problems and can cause poor performance.
(k) If isolation valves are installed at the evaporator, full port ball valves should be used.

Refrigeration Piping
Suction Lines
NOTE: If the suction line must rise to the point higher than the suction connection on
the evaporator, a suction line trap at the outlet of the evaporator must be provided.
Horizontal suction lines should slope away from the evaporator toward the compressor at the rate of
1/4’ per 10 feet for good oil return. When multiple evaporators are connected in series using a common
suction line, the branch suction lines must enter the top of the common suction line.
Suction lines that are outside of refrigerated space must be insulated. See “Line Insulation” for more
information.
Suction Line Risers
NOTE: To provide proper oil return, a suction trap must be provided at the base of
all suction risers.
Prefabricated wrought copper traps are available, or a trap can be made by using two street ells and one
regular ell. The suction trap must be the same size as the suction line. For long vertical risers, additional
traps may be necessary. Generally, one trap is recommended for each length of pipe (approximately 20
feet) to insure proper oil movement. See Figure 4 below for methods of constructing proper suction line
P-traps.
Figure 4. Suction P-traps
Condensate Drain Lines
Copper drain lines should be used and properly protected from freezing. In running drain lines, provide
a minimum of 4 inches per foot pitch for proper drainage. Drain lines should be at least as large as
the evaporator drain connection. All plumbing connections should be made in accordance with local
plumbing codes. All condensate drain lines must be trapped, and run to an open drain. They must
never be connected directly to the sewer systems. Traps in the drain line must be located in a warm
ambient. We recommend a trap on all evaporators. Traps
located outside, or extensive outside runs of drain line
Figure 5. Drain Line
must be wrapped with a drain line heater. The heater
should be connected so that it is continuously on. It is
recommended that the drain line be insulated to prevent
heat loss. A heat input of 20 watts per lineal foot of
drain line for 0ºF (-18°C) room applications and 30 watts
per lineal foot for -20°F (-29°C) rooms is satisfactory.
Inspect the drain pan periodically to insure free drainage
of condensate. If the drain pan contains standing water,
check for proper installation. The drain pan should be
cleaned regularly with warm soapy water.
WARNING: All power must be disconnected
before cleaning. The drain pan also serves as
cover for hazardous moving parts. Operation
NOTE: Always trap drain lines individually
to prevent vapor migration.
of unit without drain pan constitutes a hazard.

Refrigeration Piping
Figure 6. Example of
Pipe Support
1. Normally, any straight run of tubing must be supported in at least two locations near each end of the
run. Long runs require additional supports. The refrigerant lines should be supported and fastened
properly. As a guide, 3/8 to 7/8 should be supported every 5 feet, 1-1/8 and 1-3/8 every 7 feet; and 1-
5/8 and 2-1/8 every 9 to 10 feet.
2. When changing directions in a run of tubing, no corner should be left unsupported. Supports should
be placed a maximum of 2 feet in each direction from the corner.
3. Piping attached to a vibrating object (such as a compressor or compressor base) must be supported in
such a manner that will not restrict the movement of the vibrating object. Rigid mounting will fatigue
the copper tubing.
4. Do not use short radius ells. Short radius elbows have points of excessive stress concentration and are
subject to breakage at these points.
5. Thoroughly inspect all piping after the equipment is in operation and add supports wherever
line vibration is significantly greater than most of the other piping. Extra supports are relatively
inexpensive as compared to refrigerant loss.
Figure 7.
Line Insulation
After the final leak test, refrigerant lines exposed to
high or low ambient conditions should be insulated
to reduce heat loss or gain and prevent the
formation of flash gas in the liquid lines. Suction
lines should be insulated with 3/4" wall Armstrong
“Armaflex” or equivalent. Liquid lines should also
be insulated with 1/2-inch wall insulation or better.
The insulation located in outdoor environments
should be protected from UV exposure to prevent
deterioration of insulating value.

Leak Detection And Evacuation
Leak Testing
After all lines are connected, the entire system must be leak tested. The complete system should be
pressurized to not more than 150 PSIG with refrigerant and dry nitrogen. The use of an electronic type
of leak detector is highly recommended because of its greater sensitivity to small leaks. As a further
check, it is recommended that this pressure be held for a minimum of 12 hours and then rechecked. For a
satisfactory installation, the system must be leak tight.
Leak detection can be carried out in the conventional manner. If HCFC or CFC tracer gas is used, care must
be taken to completely remove all traces of the gas prior to introducing HFC’s. Electronic leak detectors
are now available that will sense HFC’s. This is considered preferable since it removes the possibility of
chlorine remaining in the system after leak testing with HCFC’s and/or HCFC’s. There is a view that even
small quantities of chlorine may act as a catalyst encouraging copper plating and/or corrosion and should
therefore be avoided.
Within the last several years, manufacturers have developed fluorescent dye leak detection systems
for use with refrigerants. These dyes mix with the lubricant and, when exposed to an ultraviolet light,
fluoresce to indicate the location of leaks. Copeland has tested and approved the Rigid “System Safe” dye
and found it to be compatible with the compressor materials in systems.
Evacuation
CAUTION: Do not use the refrigeration compressor
to evacuate the system. Do not start the
compressor while it is in a vacuum.
Due to the smaller molecule size of HFC’s, they will tend to leak more readily than CFC. Consequently, it
is of the utmost importance that proper system evacuation and leak detection procedures be employed.
Copeland recommends a minimum evacuation to 500 microns. In addition, a vacuum decay test is strongly
recommended to assure there is not a large pressure differential between the system and vacuum pump.
Good evacuation processes include frequent vacuum pump oil changes and large diameter, short hose
connections to both high and low sides of the system preferably using bronze braided hose.
A good, deep vacuum pump should be connected to both the low and high side evacuation valves with
copper tube or high vacuum hoses (1/4” ID minimum). If the compressor has service valves, they should
remain closed. A deep vacuum gauge capable of registering pressure in microns should be attached to the
system for pressure readings.
A shut-off valve between the gauge connection and vacuum pump should be provided to allow the
system pressure to be checked after evacuation. Do not turn off vacuum pump when connected to an
evacuated system before closing shut-off valve.
The vacuum pump should be operated until a pressure of 1,500 microns absolute pressure is reached – at
which time the vacuum should be broken with the refrigerant to be used in the system through a drier
until the system pressure rises above “0” psig.
NOTE: Refrigerant used during evacuation can not be vented.
Reclaim all used refrigerant. EPA regulations are constantly
being updated. Ensure your procedures follow correct regulations.
Repeat this operation a second time.
Open the compressor’s service valves and evacuate the entire system to 500 microns absolute pressure.
Raise the pressure to 2 psig with the refrigerant and remove the vacuum pump.

Field Wiring
WARNING: All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable codes and local ordinances.
The field wiring should enter the areas as provided on the unit. The wiring diagram for each unit is
located on the inside of the electrical panel door. All field wiring should be done in a professional manner
and in accordance with all governing codes. Before operating unit, double check all wiring connections,
including the factory terminals. Factory connections can vibrate loose during shipment.
1. The nameplate on the unit is marked with the electrical characteristic for wiring the unit.
2. Consult the wiring diagram in the unit cooler and in the condensing unit for proper connections.
3. Wire type should be of copper conductor only and of the proper size to handle the connected load.
4. The unit must be grounded.
5. For multiple evaporator systems, follow the wiring diagrams for multiple evaporator systems carefully.
This will assure complete defrost of all evaporators in the system.
6. If a remote defrost Timer is to be used, the Timer should be located outside the refrigerated space.
Note: Control wiring from the remote machines such as ice machines, drink machines,
cases, etc. must be connected to the relays in the Control Panel to properly energize
condenser fans.

Refrigeration Charging
Refrigeration Charging
1. Install a liquid line drier in the refrigerant supply line between the service gauge and the liquid service
port of the receiver. This extra drier will insure that all refrigerant supplied to the system is clean and dry.
2. When initially charging a system that is in a vacuum, liquid refrigerant can be added directly into the
receiver tank to break the vacuum. Weighing in the charge is recommended with the initial charge
consisting of approximately 2 pounds per system compressor horsepower.
3. Remove the refrigerant drum and connect it to the suction side of the compressor to charge with
refrigerant vapor into the low side of the system until the pressure is above atmospheric.
4. Start the system and finish charging until the sight glass indicates a full charge and the proper amount
has been weighed in (a total of 4 to 5 pounds per system compressor horsepower).
5. If refrigerant must be added to the system through the suction side of the compressor, charge in vapor
form only. Liquid charging must be done in the high side only or with liquid metering devices to protect
the compressor.
Check-Out & Start-Up
After the installation has been completed, the following points should be covered before the system is
placed in operation:
(a) Check all electrical and refrigerant connections. Be sure they are all correct and tight.
(b) Check setting of time delay relay for low pressure switch in condensing unit. It should be set at two
minutes (the third marker).
(c) Check high and low pressure controls, pressure regulating valves, oil pressure safety controls, and all
other safety controls and adjust them, if necessary.
(d) Liquid line should always be insulated.
(e) Wiring diagrams, instruction bulletins, etc. attached to the condensing units should be read and filed
for future reference.
(f) All fan motors on air cooled condensers, evaporators, etc. should be checked for proper rotation. Fan
motor mounts should be carefully checked for tightness and proper alignment.
(g) Observe system pressures during charging and initial operation. Do not add oil while the system is
short of refrigerant unless oil level is dangerously low.
(h) Continue charging until system has sufficient refrigerant for proper operation. Do not overcharge.
Remember that bubbles in a sight glass may be caused by a restriction as well as a shortage of refrigerant.
(i) Do not leave unit unattended until the system has reached normal operating conditions and the oil
charge has been properly adjusted to maintain the oil level at the center of the sight glass.
CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken in starting compressors for the first time after system
charging. At this time, all of the oil and most of the refrigerant might be in the compressor
creating a condition which could cause compressor damage due to slugging. Activating the
crankcase heater for 24 hours prior to start-up is recommended. If no crankcase heater is
present, then directing a 500 watt heat lamp or other safe heat source on the lower shell of the
compressor for approximately thirty minutes will be beneficial in eliminating this condition which
might never reoccur.

Operational Checkout
After the system has been charged and has operated for at least 2 hours at normal operating conditions
without any indication of malfunction, it should be allowed to operate overnight on automatic controls.
Then a thorough re-check of the entire system operation should be made as follows:
(a) Check compressor discharge and suction pressures. If not within system design limits, determine
why and take corrective action.
(b) Check liquid line sight glass and expansion valve operation. If there are indications that more
refrigerant is required, leak test all connections and system components and repair any leaks
before adding refrigerant.
(c) Using suitable instruments, carefully check line voltage and amperage at the compressor terminals.
Voltage must be within 10% of that indicated on the condensing unit nameplate. If high or
low voltage is indicated, notify the power company. If amperage draw is excessive, immediately
determine the cause and take corrective action. On 3 phase motor compressors, check to see that
a balanced load is drawn by each phase.
(d) The maximum approved settings for high pressure controls on Heatcraft air cooled condensing
equipment is 425 psig. On air cooled systems, check as follows:
• Disconnect the fan motors or block the condenser inlet air.
• Watch high pressure gauge for cutout point.
• Re-check all safety & operating controls for proper operation and adjust if necessary.
(e) Check head pressure controls for pressure setting.
(f) Check crankcase heater operation if used.
(g) Install instruction card and control system diagram for use of building manager or owner.
System Balancing
IMPORTANT: In order to obtain the maximum capacity from a system, and to
ensure trouble-free operation, it is essential to balance each and every system.
The critical value to be checked here is suction superheat at the compressor:
1. Measure the suction pressure at the suction service valve of the compressor and determine the
saturation temperature corresponding to this pressure from a “Temperature-Pressure” chart.
2. Measure the suction temperature of the suction line about one foot back from the compressor using an
accurate thermometer.
3. Subtract the saturated temperature from the actual suction line temperature. The difference is
superheat.
Too low a suction superheat can result in liquid being returned to the compressor. This will cause dilution
of the oil and eventual failure of the bearings and rings or in the extreme case, valve failure or even
“slugging” of the compressor.
Too high a suction superheat will result in excessive discharge temperatures which causes a break down of
the oil and results in piston ring wear, piston and cylinder wall damage.
It should also be remembered that the system capacity decreases as the suction superheat increases. For
maximum system capacity, suction superheat should be kept as low as is practical. Copeland mandates
a minimum superheat of 20ºF and a maximum of 45ºF at the compressor. Heatcraft recommends a
superheat of 30ºF.

Preventive Maintenance
Routine preventive maintenance of any mechanical equipment is critical to its long term reliability.
During normal operation all equipment will experience some deterioration during its lifetime caused
by wear and evironmental influences. For that reason, regularly scheduled maintenance of your
refrigeration equipment is required in order to keep it operating to its maximum efficiency while avoiding
potentially costly repairs of a premature failure due to equipment neglect. The following is our minimum
recommendations for regularly scheduled preventive maintenance of your refrigeration system. Only
qualified and licensed refrigeration companies should perform all preventive and corrective maintenance
on refrigeration equipment. While we cannot guarantee that close adherence to these recommendations
will eliminate all equipment problems, it will greatly reduce the potential for mechanical and electrical
failures thus providing increased reliability.
Refer to pages 16 and 17 for preventive maintenance guidelines.
