2GN SPLIT INSTALLER’S GUIDE
REFRIGERATION
The 2GN Series comes with a holding charge. The charge must
be adjusted in the fi eld based on performance. Refrigeration
piping on the split consists of installing a brazed copper line
set between the blower coil unit and the unit’s split compressor
section. To select the proper tube diameters for the installation,
refer to the Line Set Sizes table. Line sets over 60 feet long
are not recommended because of oil return and pressure drop
problems. The suction line must always be insulated. Handle
and route the line sets carefully to avoid kinking or bending
the tubes. If the line set is kinked or distorted and it cannot
be formed back into its original shape, the bad portion of the
pipe should be replaced. A restricted line set will affect the
performance of the system.
Braze line set to the service valve stubs on the outside front
of the split cabinet as shown in Figure 13. Nitrogen should
be bled through the system at 2 to 3 PSI to prevent oxidation
contamination. Use a low silver phos-copper braze alloy on
all brazed connections. 2GN Series split units are shipped
with a factory charge and service valves are not to be opened
until the line set has been leak tested, purged and evacuated.
Schrader cores should be removed before brazing. A heat
sink should be used on the service valves and TXV to prevent
damage caused by excessive heat.
