Fig. 17 — Unit Wiring
Connecting Ductwork
Refer to the Carrier System Design Manual for the recommended
design and layout of ductwork. Figure 18 shows recommended
duct connection to units with 2 fans.
DISCHARGE CONNECTIONS
Duct flanges are factory-supplied; they are shipped inside the unit
attached to the hairpin end of the coil tube sheet for field installa
-
tion. Using the existing screws, install the duct flanges on the
unit’s fan deck. Each fan discharge requires 2 flanges; each flange
must be bent in the middle to conform to the discharge opening.
(See Fig. 19.) After flanges are installed, connect them to the
supply duct using a canvas connection to prevent vibration. It is
important that this connection be properly fabricated to prevent
high air friction losses and air noise.
RETURN CONNECTIONS
When using return-air ductwork, route return-air duct to the unit’s
return air inlet near the filter rack, using a canvas connection to
prevent transmission of unit vibration. If the duct blocks off the
unit’s access panel, provide a slip joint in the ductwork to permit
removal for servicing.
OUTDOOR-AIR INLET CONNECTIONS
Connect outdoor-air inlet to field-installed accessory economizer.
Refer to Economizer Installation Instructions.
Return-Air Filters
Type and size of filters are shown in Tables 1-6 and are factory-
supplied and factory-installed. In all units with 2 fans, a filter
replacement tool (hook) is shipped inside the unit for field use
when replacing filters. See the Service section for instructions on
filter element replacement.
CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution could cause equipment damage.
Do not operate unit without ductwork or discharge plenum
unless fan speed has been adjusted for external static pressure
of zero in. wg. Failure to do so may result in motor overload.
