about 12 hours to allow the system to reach equilibrium before deciding if the system requires a
change of drier cores.
Bubbles in the sight glass at constant full load indicates a shortage of refrigerant, a plugged filter-drier,
or a restriction in the liquid line. However, it is not unusual to see bubbles in the sight glass during
changing load conditions.
Refrigerant Charging
Liquid line subcooling at the liquid shut-off valve should be between 15 and 20 degrees F at full load.
If the unit is at steady full load operation and bubbles are visible in the sight glass, then check liquid
subcooling.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve
The expansion valve performs one specific function. It keeps the evaporator supplied with the proper
amount of refrigerant to satisfy the load conditions.
NOTE
: Before adjusting superheat, check that unit charge is correct and liquid line sight glass is full
with no bubbles and that the circuit is operating under stable, full load conditions.
The suction superheat for the suction leaving the evaporator is set at the factory for 8 to 12 degrees F
at full load. To have full rated unit performance, the superheat must be about 8 degrees F at 95°F
outdoor ambient temperature.
Crankcase Heaters
The scroll compressors are equipped with externally mounted band heaters located at the oil sump
level. The function of the heater is to keep the temperature in the crankcase high enough to prevent
refrigerant from migrating to the crankcase and condensing in the oil during off-cycle.
Power must be supplied to the heaters 8 hours before starting the compressors.
Evaporator
Models AGZ 025D through 130D
The evaporator is a compact, high efficiency, dual circuit, brazed, plate-to-plate type heat exchanger
consisting of parallel stainless steel plates.
The evaporator is protected with an electric resistance heater and insulated with 3/4" (19mm) thick
closed-cell polyurethane insulation. This combination provides freeze protection down to -20°F (-
29°C) ambient air temperature.
The water side working pressure is 363 psig (2503 kPa). Evaporators are designed and constructed
according to, and listed by, Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
NOTE
: This product is equipped with a copper-brazed series 304 stainless steel plate evaporator. The
water or other fluid used in these evaporators must be clean and non-corrosive to the materials used in
the evaporator. The use of non-compatible fluids can void the equipment warranty. If the compatibility
of the fluid with the evaporator is in question, a professional water quality consultant should
administer the proper testing and evaluate compatibility.
Models AGZ 140D through 180D
The evaporator is direct expansion, shell-and-tube type with water flowing in the baffled shell side and
refrigerant flowing through the tubes. Two independent refrigerant circuits within the evaporator
serve the unit's dual refrigerant circuits.
The evaporator is wrapped with an electric resistance heater cable and insulated with 3/4" (19mm)
thick vinyl nitrate polymer sheet insulation, protecting against water freeze-up at ambient air
temperatures to -20°F (-29°C). An ambient air thermostat controls the heater cable. The fitted and
glued-in-place insulation has a K factor of 0.28 Btu in/hr ft
2
F at 75°F.
