APPLICATION AND SIZING
In the application and sizing of room air conditioners for cooling, it is most important to give full consideration to all
factors which may contribute to the heat loss or gain of the space to be conditioned.It is therefore necessary to make
a survey of the space to be conditioned and calculate the load requirements before a selection of the size of the
equipment needed can be made.
The load requirement may be determined very easily by simply using the standard “AHAM” Load Calculating Form,
on Page 6.This form is very easy to use and is self explanatory throughout. It is necessary only to insert the proper
measurements on the lines provided and multiply by the given factors, then add the result for the total load require-
ments.
Cooling load requirements are generally based on the cooling load for comfortable air conditioning which does not
require specific conditions of inside temperature and humidity.The load calculation form is based on outside design
temperature of 95° FDB and 75° FWB. It can be used for areas in the Continental United States having other outside
design temperatures by applying a correction factor for the particular locality as determined from the map shown on
Page 6.
When sizing a TwinTemp unit for cooling and heating, we must remember that the heating capacity of any given unit
varies directly with the outdoor ambient temperature.Also, we must keep in mind the average low temperatures which
might be experienced in the locality where the unit is to be installed. Therefore, when sizing a TwinTemp unit, both
cooling and heating requirements must be calculated. Do not oversize, or undersize, one phase of the unit’s capacity
at the expense of the other. In those cases where the unit will provide satisfactory cooling at all times but will be
inadequate for those few times that the outdoor temperature is below the maximum low for the unit, additional auxil-
iary heating facilities must be provided to insure that adequate heat is available at all times.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING COOLING LOAD ESTIMATE
FORM FOR ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS
(AHAM PUB. NO. RAC-1)
A. This cooling load estimate form is suitable for estimating the cooling load for comfort air conditioning installations
which do not require specific conditions of inside temperature and humidity.
B. The form is based on an outside design temperature of 95°F dry bulb and 75°F wet bulb.It can be used for areas
in the continental United States having other outside design temperatures by applying a correction factor for the
particular locality as determined from the map.
C. The form includes“day”factors for calculating cooling loads in rooms where daytime comfort is desired (such as
living rooms, offices, etc.)
D. The numbers of the following paragraphs refer to the corresponding numbered item on the form:
1. Multiply the square feet of window area for each exposure by the applicable factor.The window area is the
area of the wall opening in which the window is installed.For windows shaded by inside shades or venetian
blinds, use the factor for “Inside Shades.” For windows shaded by outside awnings or by both outside
awnings and inside shades (or venetian blinds), use the factor for “Outside Awnings.” “Single Glass” in-
cludes all types of single thickness windows, and “Double Glass” includes sealed airspace types, storm
windows, and glass block.Only one number should be entered in the right hand column for Item 1, and this
number should represent only the exposure with the largest load.
2. Multiply the total square feet of all windows in the room by the applicable factor.
3a. Multiply the total length (linear feet) of all walls exposed to the outside by the applicable factor.Doors should
be considered as being part of the wall. Outside walls facing due north should be calculated separately
from outside walls facing other directions. Walls which are permanently shaded by adjacent structures
should be considered “North Exposure.” Do not consider trees and shrubbery as providing permanent
shading. An uninsulated frame wall or a masonry wall 8 inches or less in thickness is considered “Light
Construction.”An insulated wall or masonry wall over 8 inches in thickness is considered“Heavy Construc-
tion.”
3b. Multiply the total length (linear feet) of all inside walls between the space to be conditioned and any uncon-
ditioned spaces by the given factor.Do not include inside walls which separate other air conditioned rooms.
4. Multiply the total square feet of roof or ceiling area by the factor given for the type of construction most
nearly describing the particular application (use one line only.)
5. Multiply the total square feet of floor area by the factor given.Disregard this item if the floor is directly on the
ground or over a basement.
6. Multiply the number of people who normally occupy the space to be air conditioned by the factor given.Use
a minimum of 2 people.
7. Determine the total number of watts for light and electrical equipment, except the air conditioner itself, that
will be in use when the room air conditioning is operating. Multiply the total wattage by the factor given.
8. Multiply the total width (linear feet) of any doors or arches which are continually open to an unconditioned
space by the applicable factor.
NOTE: Where the width of the doors or arches is more than 5 feet, the actual load may exceed the
calculated value.In such cases, both adjoining rooms should be considered as a single large room, and the
room air conditioner unit or units should be selected according to a calculation made on this new basis.
9. Total the loads estimated for the foregoing 8 items.
10. Multiply the subtotal obtained in item 9 by the proper correction factor, selected from the map, for the
particular locality.The result is the total estimated design cooling load in BTU per hour.
E. For best results, a room air conditioner unit or units having a cooling capacity rating (determined in accordance
with the NEMA Standards Publication for Room Air Conditioners, CN 1-1960) as close as possible to the esti-
mated load should be selected. In general, a greatly oversized unit which would operate intermittently will be
much less satisfactory than one which is slightly undersized and which would operate more nearly continuously.
F.
Intermittent loads such as kitchen and laundry equipment are not included in this form.

GROUND TEST
COMPONENTS OPERATION & TESTING
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one
lead to the compressor body (clean point of contact as
a good connection is a must) and the other probe in
turn to each compressor terminal (see Figure 2.) If a
reading is obtained, the compressor is grounded and
must be replaced.
WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO
UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR TESTING
COMPRESSORS
Figure 2: Typical Ground Test
Compressors are single phase, 15 or 230/208 volt, de-
pending on the model unit. All compressor motors are
permanent split capacitor type using only a running ca-
pacitor across the start and run terminal.
All compressors are internally spring mounted and ex-
ternally mounted on rubber isolators.
COMPRESSOR WINDING TEST (See Figure 1)
Remove compressor terminal box cover and disconnect
wires from terminals. Using an ohmmeter, check conti-
nuity across the following:
1. Terminal “C” and “S” - no continuity - open wind-
ing - replace compressor.
CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
2. Terminal “C” and “R” - no continuity - open wind-
ing - replace compressor.
The reason for compressor inefficiency is normally due
to broken or damaged suction and/or discharge valves,
reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refriger-
ant gas.
3. Terminal “R” and “S” - no continuity - open wind-
ing - replace compressor.
This condition can be checked as follows:
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and dis-
charge or liquid process tube.
Figure 1: Compressor Winding Test
2. Attach gauges to the high and low sides of the
system.
3. Start the system and run a “cooling or heating
performance test.”
If test shows:
A. Below normal high side pressure.
B. Above normal low side pressure.
C. Low temperature difference across coil.
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the
compressor.
THERMAL OVERLOAD (External)
Some compressors are equipped with an external over-
load which is located in the compressor terminal box
adjacent to the compressor body (see Figure 3.)
Page 8
The overload is wired in series with the common motor
terminal.The overload senses both major amperage and
compressor temperature. High motor temperature or
amperage heats the disc causing it to open and break
the circuit to the common motor terminal.
Should the internal temperature and/or current draw be-
come excessive, the contacts in the overload will open,
turning off the compressor. The overload will automati-
cally reset, but may require several hours before the heat
is dissipated.
CHECKING THE INTERNAL OVERLOAD
(see Figure 4.)
Figure 3: External Overload
Figure 4
Heat generated within the compressor shell is usually
due to:
1. With no power to unit, remove the leads from the
compressor terminals.
1. High amperage.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between ter-
minals C-S and C-R. If not continuous, the com-
pressor overload is open and the compressor must
be replaced.
2. Low refrigerant charge.
3. Frequent recycling.
4. Dirty condenser.
FAN MOTOR
A single phase permanent split capacitor motor is used
to drive the evaporator blower and condenser fan.
A self-resetting overload is located inside the mo-
tor to protect against high temperature and high
amperage conditions.
THERMAL OVERLOAD - TEST
(Compressor - External Type)
1. Remove overload.
FAN MOTOR - TEST
2. Allow time for overload to reset before attempting
to test.
1. Determine that capacitor is serviceable.
3. Apply ohmmeter probes to terminals on overload
wires.There should be continuity through the over-
load.
2. Disconnect fan motor wires from fan speed switch
or system switch.
3. Apply“live”test cord probes on black wire and com-
mon terminal of capacitor.Motor should run at high
speed.
TERMINAL OVERLOAD (Internal)
Some model compressors are equipped with an inter-
nal overload. The overload is embedded in the motor
windings to sense the winding temperature and/or cur-
rent draw.The overload is connected in series with the
common motor terminal.
4. Apply “live” test cord probes on red wire and com-
mon terminal of capacitor. Motor should run at low
speed.
Page 9
CAPACITOR - TEST
Figure 5: Fan Motor
1. Remove capacitor from unit.
2. Check for visual damage such as bulges, cracks,
or leaks.
3. For dual rated, apply an ohmmeter lead to com-
mon (C) terminal and the other probe to the com-
pressor (HERM) terminal.A satisfactory capacitor
will cause a deflection on the pointer, then gradu-
ally move back to infinity.
4. Reverse the leads of the probe and momentarily
touch the capacitor terminals.The deflection of the
pointer should be two times that of the first check if
the capacitor is good.
5. Apply “live” test cord probes on each of the re-
maining wires from the speed switch or system
switch to test intermediate speeds.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to check fan motor capaci-
tor.
NOTE: A shorted capacitor will indicate a low resis-
tance and the pointer will move to the “0” end of
the scale and remain there as long as the probes
are connected.
CAPACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and main
winding of a single phase permanent split capacitor
motor such as the compressor and fan motor. A single
capacitor can be used for each motor or a dual rated
capacitor can be used for both.
An open capacitor will show no movement of the
pointer when placed across the terminals of the
capacitor.
SYSTEM CONTROL SWITCH
The capacitor’s primary function is to reduce the line
current while greatly improving the torque characteris-
tics of a motor.The capacitor also reduces the line cur-
rent to the motor by improving the power factor of the
load.The line side of the capacitor is marked with a red
dot and is wired to the line side of the circuit (see Figure
6.)
A five position control switch is used to regulate the op-
eration of the fan motor and compressor.The compres-
sor can be operated with the fan operating at low, me-
dium or high speed.The fan motor can also be operated
independently on medium speed.See switch section as
indicated on decorative control panel (see Figure 7.)
SYSTEM CONTROL SWITCH - TEST
Figure 6: Run Capacitor Hook-Up
Disconnect leads from control switch (see Figure 8.)
There must be continuity as follows:
1. “Off” Position - no continuity between terminals.
2. “Lo Cool”Position - between terminals“L1” and“C”,
“LO” and “MS”.
3. “Med Cool” Position - between terminals “L1” and
“C”, “M” and “MS”.
4. “Hi Cool” Position - between terminals“L1” and“C”,
“H” and“MS”.
5. “Fan Only” Position - between terminals “L1” and
“2”.

to supply a small amount of heat to the bulb area to
prevent long“off cycles” in the“Cool-Fan Auto” (Money-
Saver) position (see Figure 10.) A current feedback
through the fan motor windings during “off cycle” com-
pletes the circuit to the resistor.

(Figure 9)
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT
A cross ambient thermostat is used on all standard chas-
sis units. In addition to cycling the unit in a heating or
cooling operation, the thermostat will terminate the cool-
ing cycle in the event ice forms on the evaporator coil, in
this case the thermostat functions as a de-ice control.
A resistor (anticipator) is positioned within a plastic block
No attempt should be made to adjust thermostat. Due
to the sensitivity of the internal mechanism and the so-
phisticated equipment required to check the calibration,
it is suggested that the thermostat be replaced rather
than calibrated.

12. Restart unit several times after allowing pressures
to stabilize. Pinch off process tubes, cut and sol-
der the ends. Remove pinch off tool, and leak
check the process tube ends.
The following procedure applies when replacing compo-
nents in the sealed refrigeration circuit or repairing re-
frigerant leaks.(Compressor, condenser, evaporator, cap-
illary tube, refrigerant leaks, etc.)
1. Recover the refrigerant from the system at the pro-
cess tube located on the high side of the system by
installing a line tap on the process tube.Apply gauge
from process tube to EPA approved gauges from
process tube to EPA approved recovery system.
Recover CFCs in system to at least 5%.
SPECIAL PROCEDURE IN THE CASE OF
MOTOR COMPRESSOR BURNOUT
1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.
2. Remove compressor, capillary tube and filter drier
from the system.
2. Cut the process tube below pinch off on the suc-
tion side of the compressor.
3. Flush evaporator condenser and all connecting
tubing with dry nitrogen or equivalent, to remove
all contamination from system. Inspect suction and
discharge line for carbon deposits. Remove and
clean if necessary.
3. Connect the line from the nitrogen tank to the suc-
tion process tube.
4. Drift dry nitrogen through the system and unsolder
the more distant connection first. (Filter drier, high
side process tube, etc.)
4. Reassemble the system, including new drier
strainer and capillary tube.
5. Replace inoperative component, and always install
a new filter drier.Drift dry nitrogen through the sys-
tem when making these connections.
5. Proceed with processing as outlined under her-
metic component replacement.
6. Pressurize system to 30 PSIG with proper refriger-
ant and boost refrigerant pressure to 150 PSIG with
dry nitrogen.

ROTARY COMPRESSOR SPECIAL
TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compres-
sors is the same as on the reciprocating compressor
with only a few exceptions.
1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the
mounts are critical. If vibration is present, check
the mounts carefully.
2. The electrical terminals on the rotary are in a dif-
ferent order than the reciprocating compressors.
The terminal markings are on the cover gasket.
Use your wiring diagram to insure correct con-
nections.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
1. The refrigerant charge is extremely critical. Mea-
sure charge carefully - as exact as possible to the
nameplate charge.
2. The correct method for charging the rotary is to
introduce liquid refrigerant into the high side of
the system with the unit off.Then start compres-
sor and enter the balance of the charge, gas only,
into the low side.
The introduction of liquid into the low side, with-
out the use of a capillary tube, will cause damage
to the discharge valve of the rotary compressor.
NOTE: All inoperative compressors returned to
Friedrich must have all lines properly plugged with
the plugs from the replacement compressor.
