Unit Start-Up Procedure
Unit Start-up Procedure
1. Turn the thermostat fan position to “ON”. Blower
should start.
2.
Balance air flow at registers.
3. Adjust all valves to their full open positions. Turn on the
line power to all heat pumps.
4. Room temperature should be within the minimum-
maximum ranges of table 9. During start-up checks,
loop water temperature entering the heat pump should
be between 60°F [16°C] and 95°F [35°C].
5. Two factors determine the operating limits of
ClimateMaster heat pumps, (a) return air temperature,
and (b) water temperature. When any one of these
factors is at a minimum or maximum level, the other
factor must be at normal level to ensure proper unit
operation.
a. Adjust the unit thermostat to the warmest setting.
Place the thermostat mode switch in the “COOL”
position. Slowly reduce thermostat setting until the
compressor activates.
b. Check for cool air delivery at the unit grille within a
few minutes after the unit has begun to operate.
Note: Units have a five minute time delay in the
control circuit that can be eliminated by pushing
the test button on the DXM2 control board.
c. Verify that the compressor is on and that the water
flow rate is correct by measuring pressure drop
through the heat exchanger using the P/T plugs
and comparing to table 10.
d. Check the elevation and cleanliness of the
condensate lines. Dripping may be a sign of a
blocked line. Check that the condensate trap is
filled to provide a water seal.
e. Refer to table 12. Check the temperature of both
entering and leaving water. If temperature is within
range, proceed with the test. Verify correct water
flow by comparing unit pressure drop across the
heat exchanger versus the data in table 10. Heat of
rejection (HR) can be calculated and compared to
submittal data capacity pages. The formula for HR
for systems with water is as follows:
HR (Btuh) = TD x GPM x 500,where TD is the
temperature difference between the entering and
leaving water, and GPM is the flow rate in U.S.
GPM, determined by comparing the pressure drop
across the heat exchanger to table 10. In S-I units,
the formula is as follows: HR (kW) = TD x l/s x 4.18.
f. Check air temperature drop across the air coil when
compressor is operating. Air temperature drop should
be between 15°F and 25°F [8°C and 14°C].
g. Turn thermostat to “OFF” position. A hissing noise
indicates proper functioning of the reversing valve.
6.
Allow five (5) minutes between tests for pressure to
equalize before beginning heating test.
a. Adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting. Place
the thermostat mode switch in the “HEAT” position.
b. Slowly raise the thermostat to a higher
temperature until the compressor activates.
c. Check for warm air delivery within a few minutes
after the unit has begun to operate.
d. Refer to table 12. Check the temperature of both
entering and leaving water. If temperature is within
range, proceed with the test. If temperature is
outside of the operating range, check refrigerant
pressures and compare to table 11. Verify correct
water flow by comparing unit pressure drop across
the heat exchanger versus the data in table 10.
Heat of extraction (HE) can be calculated and
compared to submittal data capacity pages. The
formula for HE for systems with water is as follows:
HE (kW) = TD xGPM x 500, where TD is the
temperature difference between the entering and
leaving water, and l/s is the flow rate in U.S. GPM,
determined by comparing the pressure drop across
the heat exchanger to table 10. In S-I units, the
formula is as follows: HE (kW) = TD x l/s x 4.18.
e. Check air temperature rise across the air coil when
compressor is operating. Air temperature rise
should be between 20°F and 30°F [11°C and 17°C].
f. Check for vibration, noise, and water leaks.
7. If unit fails to operate, perform troubleshooting analysis
(see troubleshooting section). If the check described fails
to reveal the problem and the unit still does not operate,
contact a trained service technician to ensure proper
diagnosis and repair of the equipment.
8. When testing is complete, set system to maintain
desired comfort level.
Note: If performance during any mode appears abnormal,
refer to the DXM2 section or troubleshooting section of
this manual. To obtain maximum performance, the air
coil should be cleaned before start-up. A 10% solution of
dishwasher detergent and water is recommended.
