Safety Considerations
WARNING: Before performing service or
maintenance operations on a system, turn off main
power switches to the indoor unit. If applicable,
turn off the accessory heater power switch.
Electrical shock could cause personal injury.
Installing and servicing heating and air conditioning
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and
electrical components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair or service heating and air
conditioning equipment. Untrained personnel can perform
the basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and
cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on heating and air conditioning equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the
unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use a quenching cloth for brazing operations and
have a fire extinguisher available.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “up” orientation. Do not stack
units. When the equipment is received, all items should be
carefully checked against the bill of lading to be sure all
crates and cartons have been received. Examine units for
shipping damage, removing the units from the packaging
if necessary. Units in question should also be internally
inspected. If any damage is noted, the carrier should make
the proper notation on the delivery receipt, acknowledging
the damage.
Water Piping
The proper water flow must be provided to each unit
whenever the unit operates. To assure proper flow, use
pressure/temperature ports to determine the flow rate.
These ports should be located at the supply and return
water connections on the unit. The proper flow rate cannot
be accurately set without measuring the water pressure
drop through the refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger.
All source water connections on commercial units are
fittings that accept a male pipe thread (MPT). Insert the
connectors by hand, then tighten the fitting with a wrench
to provide a leakproof joint. When connecting to an open
loop (groundwater) system, thread any copper MPT fitting
into the connector and tighten in the same manner as
described above.
Refrigerant Systems
To maintain sealed circuit integrity, do not install service
gauges unless unit operation appears abnormal. Compare
the change in temperature on the air side as well as the
water side to the Unit Operating Parameters tables. If the
unit’s performance is not within the ranges listed, and the
airflow and water flow are known to be correct, gauges
should then be installed and superheat and subcooling
numbers calculated. If superheat and subcooling are outside
recommended ranges, an adjustment to the refrigerant
charge may be necessary.
