START-UP/COMMISSIONING
3.1
Operation
For new installations, ensure the unit is ready to operate by going through the Checklist for Completed
Installation, located in Appendix A, prior to start-up.
NOTE: A Warranty Registration and Start-Up Checklist is provided with the unit data package. It should
be completed during start-up and sent to STULZ. This checklist should be used as a guideline for items
that need to be confirmed during start-up.
CAUTION
Start-up must be performed by a qualified journeyman, refrigeration mechanic or an air conditioning
technician. up. Refer to the separate controller operation instructions sent in the data package with
your unit.
Test cooling operation by adjusting the temperature setpoint at the system controller. The compressor
should come on and the suction line temperature should gradually drop.
Ensure the fan(s) are rotating correctly and freely without any unusual noise.
Operational Description
When used with a STULZ indoor evaporator unit, the A/C system compressor starts then the
condenser fan(s) start. Operation of the condenser fans is dependent on the head pressure control
method used. See the descriptions for head pressure control in Section 1.5.
Remote air cooled condensers may be configured for stand-alone operation. In this case the fans
begin operating when power is turned on.
Refrigerant flowing from the evaporator in the form of a low pressure gas, enters the compressor
where it is compressed into a high temperature, high pressure gas
