OVERVIEW
This section deals with standard guidelines for
installation of Remote Satellites and Remote
Air Cooled Condensers. Piping is covered in
“Piping.” Refer to specific manufacturer's
instructions for installation. Proper installation
is the installer's responsibility.
REMOTE CONDENSERS
Air Cooled Application
Split condenser valving is recommended if
any of the following conditions exist:
1. The difference between summer and winter
dry bulb temperatures is greater than 90
O
F.
2. The local climate conditions are anticipated
to be more severe than those stated in the
ASHRAE charts.
3. The heat reclaim coil is sized for more
than 50% of the heat of rejection for the
unit.
4. The condenser liquid return line is longer
than 100 feet.
5. The system is equipped for low head
pressure operation that seeks to obtain a
maximum of subcooling.
Other Applications
If Water Cooled Condensers are used, they
will be shell and tube construction and must
be field installed. Evaporative Condensers are
shipped directly to the job site by the selected
s u p p l i e r. Proper installation is the installer's
responsibility.
Shutoff Valves
These valves are field supplied and should be
installed in such a manner as to isolate the
entire condenser.
Lifting and Leg Assembly
Under no circumstances should the condenser
manifolds, piping return bends or control
panel be used for lifting or moving the unit.
Lifting channels are provided at each corner
of the condenser. Condensers with three or
more fans will have additional intermediate
lifting channels. Use these locations only for
attaching cables during leg assembly.
Unmounted legs and and lifting channels are
furnished with necessary bolts, washers and
nuts. Mount legs and channels with the hard-
ware provided.
Location
Locate the condenser with at least six feet of
clearance on all sides to provide adequate air
circulation. If roof mounted, place on column
supported beams or load-bearing walls.
The mounting surface for the condenser
should be at least six feet higher than the
flooding valve.
Leveling and Mounting
Cross level the coil section carefully, then bolt
the condenser legs to the support beams.
For multi-circuit condensers, consult the store
legend and refer to the identification tags on
the manifold end of the condenser to
determine compressor unit and manifold
connections.
Route and support all piping in a manner that
relieves stress caused by vibration, thermal
expansion, and gradual base or building
movement. Where piping is routed through a
roof, construct a pitch box.
