Introduction

Model type ALP air cooled condensing units are designed ing and testing. Each unit consists of an air cooled condenserfor outdoor installations and are compatible with either air with integral subcooler section with complete discharge pip-handling or chilled water systems. Each unit is completely ing and suction and liquid connections for connection to anyassembled and factory wired before evacuation, charg- air or water cooling evaporator.

InspectionWhen the equipment is received, all items should be carefully rier and a claim should be filed. The unit serial plate shouldchecked against the bill of lading to insure a complete ship- be checked before unloading the unit to be sure that it agreesment. All units should be carefully inspected for damage upon with the power supply available.arrival. All shipping damage should be reported to the car-

InstallationNote: Installation and maintenance are to be performed only by qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes andregulations, and experienced with this type of equipment. Caution: Sharp edges and coil surfaces area potential injury hazard.Avoid contact with” them.

Rigging and Moving UnitsThe exact method of handling and setting the unit dependson available equipment, size of unit, final location, and othervariables. It is therefore up to the judgment of the riggers andmovers to determine the specific method of handling eachunit.

All units are equipped with built-in skids for rigging andmoving.

Figure 1. Suggested rigging

LocationDue to vertical condenser design, it is recommended that theunit is oriented so that prevailing winds blow parallel to theunit Iength, thus minimizing effects on condensing pressure.If it is not practical to orient the unit in this manner, a winddeflector should be constructed.

Units are designed for outdoor application and may bemounted on a roof or concrete slab (ground level installation).Roof-mounted units should be installed level on steel chan-nels or an l-beam frame to support the unit above the roof.

The roof must be strong enough to support the weight ofthe unit. See Physical Data for unit weight. Concrete slabsused for unit mounting should be installed level and be pro-perly supported to prevent settling. A one-piece concrete slabwith footings extended below the frost line is recommended.

Refrigerant Piping

GeneralPiping design, sizing and installation information presentedin ASHRAE Handbooks should, where applicable, be followedin the design and installation of piping. McQuay type ALPcondensing units are adaptable to either chilled water or airhandling air conditioning applications. The only restriction onapplications is that the evaporator be selected for a systemusing refrigerant R-22.

Refrigerant PipingPiping between the condensing unit and the cooling coil mustbe designed and installed to minimize pressure drop, pre-vent liquid refrigerant carryover to the compressor and toassure a continuous return of compressor oil from the system.Piping sketches and tables are not intended to provide infor-mation on all of the possible arrangements.

Piping recommendations include:1.

The use of type K or L clean copper tubing. All joints shouldbe thoroughly cleaned and brazed with high temperaturesolder.

Piping sizes should be based on temperature/pressurelimitations as recommended in the following paragraphs.Under no circumstances should pipe size be based uponthe coil or condensing unit piping connection size.

Suction line piping pressure drop should not exceed thepressure equivalent of 2° F (3 psi) per 100 feet of equivalentpipe length. After the suction line size has been deter-mined, the vertical suction risers should be checked toverify that oil will be carried up the riser and back to thecompressor. The suction line should be pitched in thedirection of refrigerant flow and adequately supported.Lines should be free draining and fully insulated betweenthe evaporator and the compressor. Table 3 shows pip-ing information for units operating at suction temperaturesbetween 40F and 45F and a condenser entering airtemperature of 95° F. If operating conditions are expectedto vary substantially from these operating levels, the pipesizing should be rechecked.

Vertical suction risers should be checked using Table 1to determine the minimum tonnage required to carry oilup suction risers of various sizes.

The Iiquid line should be sized for a pressure drop not toexceed the pressure equivalent of 2° F (6 psi) saturatedtemperature. The liquid line on all units must include aliquid solenoid valve wired into the circuit as shown on theapplicable unit wiring diagrams.

The control circuit for all compressors has been de-

signed to include a pumpdown cycle. The use of a liquidline solenoid is required for proper unit operation. In ad-.dition, a filter-drier should be located between the liquidline service valve and the solenoid valve and a combina-tion moisture indicator/sightglass should be located in theliquid line ahead of the expansion valve.

Suggested piping arrangements are shown on page 5. Thefigures shown are for an air handling installation, but allcomponents shown are recommended for chilled watervessel installations except that a refrigerant distributor isnot usually required for shell-and-tube evaporators.

If dual suction risers are used:Double risers are sized so that the combined cross-

sectional internal area will allow full load unit operationwithout excessive pressure drop (see notes, Table 3). Riser“A” is sized to provide adequate suction gas velocity forproper oil return at minimum load conditions. This riserbecomes effective only when the trap shown in riser “B”fills itself with oil. It should be emphasized that the trapshown in riser “B” should be designed to contain aminimum internal volume to keep the total system oil re-quirements at a minimum. Table 3 gives recommendedline sizes for both single and double suction lines and forIiquid lines,a.

b.

c.

d.

‘ The combined cross-sectional areas of the two risersmust be capable of maintaining adequate refrigerantvelocity for oil return at full unit tonnage.The extra riser should be of a smaller diameter thanthe main riser. The extra riser must include its own trapat the bottom and should enter the main suction headerat twelve o’clock.The trap serving the extra riser must be as short as fit-tings permit. A “U” fitting or the combination of a 90’standard “L” and a 90° street-L is recommended.The suction line Ieaving the coil should also include atrap if the expansion valve control bulb is to be on thehorizontal section leaving the coil outlet. See the pip-ing sketches on page 5.

NOTES:

Recommended line sizes shown in the above table are based on the unitoperating conditions between 40° F and 45” F saturated suction temperatureand condenser entering air temperature of 95” F, per 100 ft. equivalent lengthof tubing. When design conditions vary, the table values should be rechecked.

Liquid and suction lines based on a recommended equivalent pressuredrop of 2F (3 psi for suction line, 6 psi for liquid line) per 100 ft. ofequivalent length.When refrigerant required to charge a circuit exceeds the pumpdowncapacity of that circuit the use of a separate refrigerant storage receiverwill be required. The pumpdown capacity is based on the condenser 90%

full at 90iF (see Physical Data).Wherever vertical rise occurs in the suction piping, the minimum tonnagefor oil entrainment should be checked and where necessary double suc-tion risers should be utilized. See Table 1.Wherever vertical rise occurs in the suction piping on a system with hotgas bypass, double suction risers may not be needed as the velocity ofsuction gas is increased at minimum load conditions.Total equivalent feet for a given piping layout must include the equivalentlength of straight pipe for fittings, valves and specialties added to the totalrun of straight pipe.Piping design, sizing and installation information presented in ASHRAEHandbooks should, ‘where applicable, be followed in the design and in-stallation of piping.

Refrigerant Piping ConnectionsRefrigerant piping connections will be made at the com-pressor end of the unit. Suction and liquid lines should berouted through the compressor enclosure on the side of theunit.

Holding ChargeThe Model ALP condensing unit is shipped with a holdingcharge of refrigerant. At the time the unit was received a visualinspection of the unit piping should have been made to be

gauge should be connected to the unit at a-point remotefrom the vacuum pump. For readings below 1 millimeter,an electronic or other micron gauge should be used.

2. The triple evacuation method is recommended and is par-ticularly helpful if the vacuum pump is unable to obtainthe desired 1 millimeter of vacuum. The system is firstevacuated to approximately 29 inches of mercury. Enoughrefrigerant vapor is then added to the system to bring thepressure up to O pounds.

3. Then the system is once again evacuated to 29 inchesof vacuum. This procedure is repeated three times. Thismethod can be most effective by holding system pressureat Opounds for a minimum of 1 hour between evacuations.

The first pull down will remove about 90% of the non-condensables, the second about 90% of that remainingfrom the first pull down and after the third only 1/10 of 1%noncondensables will remain.

sure no breakage had occurred or that fittings might have 1.been loosened. A pressure check should indicate a positivepressure in the unit. If no pressure is evident, the unit willhave to be leak tested and the leak repaired. This should benoted and reported to your sales representative or freight car-rier if the loss is due to shipping damage.

Leak Testing 2.

In the case of loss of the refrigerant holding charge, the unitshould be checked for leaks prior to charging the completesystem. If the full charge was lost, leak testing can be done 3.by charging the refrigerant into the unit to build the pressureto approximately 10 psig and adding sufficient dry nitrogento bring the pressure to a maximum of 125 psig. The unitshould then be leak tested with a Halide or electronic leakdetector. After making any necessary repair, the systemshould be evacuated as described in the following para-graphs. 4.

Caution: Do not use oxygen to build up pressure. A seriousexplosion could be the result.

Evacuation

Table 6 shows the relationship between pressure, microns,atmospheres, and the boiling point of water.

Charging the System

After all refrigerant piping is complete and the system hasbeen evacuated, it can be charged as described in theparagraphs following. Connect the refrigerant drum to thegauge port on the liquid line and purge the charging linebetween the refrigerant cylinder and the valve. Then openthe valve to the mid-position.

If the system is under a vacuum, stand the refrigerant drumwith the connection up and open the drum and break thevacuum with refrigerant gas.

With a system gas pressure higher than the equivalentof a freezing temperature, invert the charging cylinder andelevate the drum above the condenser. With the drum inthis position, valves open and liquid refrigerant will flowinto the condenser. Approximately 75% of the total require-ment estimated for the unit can be charged in this manner.

After 75% of the required charge has entered the con-denser, reconnect the refrigerant drum and charging lineto the suction side of the system. Again purge the con-necting line, stand the drum with the connection up, andplace the service valve in the open position.

ALP units have a single factory installed main power supplyconnection point which requires one main power supplydisconnect switch, supplied by others. For recommended cop-per power lead wire sizes see the Electrical Data table on page10 of this manual.

Control CircuitTerminals are provided in the unit control center (terminals1 and NB1, Typical Field Wring Diagram) for field hook-upof the control circuit to a 115V power supply. An optional “Con-trol Circuit Transformer” is available, factory installed. toeliminate the requirement for a separate power supply to thecontrol circuit.

Terminals are also provided for field connection of the faninterlock or chilled water flow switch (chilled water systemsonly), liquid line solenoid valve, system time clock, ambientthermostat, and/or remote on-off switch and temperature con-trol thermostat.

Normal Sequence of OperationThe following sequence of operation is typical for ALP-027Cthrough 041C SeasonCon air cooled condensing units.

Start-upWith the control circuit power on and the control stop switchS1 closed, 115V power is applied through the control circuitfuse F1 to the compressor crankcase heater HTR1, the com-pressor motor protector MP1, and the contacts of the low andhigh pressure switches LPI and HP1.

When the remote time clock(s) or manual shutdownswitch(es) turn on the evaporator fan(s) or chilled water pump,115V power is applied to the temperature or pressure con-trol. The unit will automatically operate in response to thetemperature or pressure controller provided (1) the manualpumpdown switch PS1 is closed (in the “auto” position); (2)the compressor lockout time delay TD1 has closed, energizingsafety relay R5; and (3) the high pressure control HP1 andcompressor motor protector MP1 do not sense failure condi-tions.

On a call for cooling, the temperature or pressure controlthermostat energizes the liquid line solenoid valve SW, open-ing the valve and allowing refrigerant to flow through the ex-pansion valve and into the evaporator. As the evaporatorrefrigerant pressure increases, the low pressure control LP1closes. This energizes the compressor starting relay R9, start-

Start-up and

Start-up

With all electric disconnects open, check all screw or lugtype electrical connections to be sure they are tight forgood electrical contact. Check all compressor valve con-nections for tightness to avoid refrigerant loss at start-up. Although all factory connections are tight before ship-ment, some loosening may have resulted from shippingvibration.

On chilled water installations, check to see that all waterpiping is properly connected.

Check the compressor oil level. Prior to start-up, the oillevel should cover at least one-third of the oil sightglass.

Check the voltage of the unit power supply and see thatit is within the + 10% tolerance that is allowed. Phasevoltage unbalance must be within + 2%.

Check the unit power supply wiring for adequate ampaci-ty and a minimum insulation temperature rating of 75C.

Verify that all mechanical and electrical inspections havebeen completed per local codes.

See that all auxiliary control equipment is operative andthat an adequate cooling load is available for initialstart-up.

Open the compressor suction and discharge shutoffvalves until backseated, Always replace valve seal caps.

Making sure control stop switch S1 is open (off) andpumpdown switch PSI is on “manual pumpdowm” throwthe main power and control disconnect switches to “on.”This will energize crankcase heater. Wait a minimum of12 hours before starting up unit.

If a chilled water system, open all water flow valves andstart the chilled water pump. Check all piping for leaksand vent the air from the evaporator as well as from thesystem piping to obtain clean, noncorrosive water in theevaporator circuit.

ing the compressor via the compressor contactor Ml. Clos-ing R9 contacts also energizes the condenser fan motor con-tractors Mll, M12 and M13, starting the fan motors.

As additional stages of the cooling capacity are required,the temperature or pressure control will de-energize theunloader solenoids of the compressor, respectively.

Pumpdown CycleAs the temperature or pressure control is satisfied, it willunload the compressor and then de-energize the liquid linesolenoid valve SV1, causing the valve to close. When the com-pressor has pumped most of the refrigerant out of theevaporator and into the condenser, the low pressure controlLP1 will open, shutting down the compressor and the con-denser fan motors. In the event a closed solenoid valve allowsrefrigerant to leak into the evaporator, the increase in pressurewill cause the low pressure control to close. This will energizethe compressor starting relay, start the compressor and quick-ly pump the refrigerant out of the evaporator and into the con-denser (recycling pumpdown).

Do not shut unit down without going through the pumpdowncycle. Flow switch or fan interlock, time clock and ambientlockout thermostat must be wired to allow pumpdown whenunit is turned off.

Shutdown

Caution: Most relays and terminals in the unit control centerare hot with S1 and the control circuit disconnect on. Do notclose S1 until start-up.

Open the field supplied manual liquid line shutoff valveat the outlet of the condenser.

Adjust the dial on temperature controller to the desiredchilled water temperature or air temperature.

Start the auxiliary equipment for the installation.

Check to see that pumpdown switch PS1 is in the“manual pumpdown” (open) position. Throw the emer-gency stop switch S1 to the “on” position. If pressureson the low side of the system are above 60 psig, the unitwill start and pump down.

After the compressor lockout timer TD1 has timed out,start the system by moving pumpdown switch PSI to the“auto pumpdown” position.

After running the unit for a short time, check the oil levelin the compressor crankcase, rotation of condenser fans,and check for flashing in the refrigerant sightglass (see“System Maintenance;’ page 14).

Superheat should be adjusted to maintain between 8 and12F.

After system performance has stabilized, it is necessarythat the “Compressorized Equipment Warranty Form”(Form No. 415415Y) be completed to obtain full warrantybenefits. This form is shipped with the unit, and after com-pletion should be returned to McQuayService throughyour sales representative.

System Maintenance

GeneralOn initial start-up and periodically during operation, it will benecessary to perform certain routine service checks. Amongthese are checking the compressor oil level and taking con-densing, suction and oil pressure readings. During operation,the oil level should be visible in the oil sightglass with the com-pressor running. On units ordered with gauges, condens-ing, suction and oil pressures can be read from the verticalsupports on each side of the unit adjacent to the compressor.

The gauges are factory installed with a manual shutoff valveon each gauge line. The valves should be closed at all timesexcept when gauge readings are being taken. On unitsordered without gauges, Shrader fittings should be installedin the plugged ports provided on the suction and dischargeKing valves.

Fan Shaft BearingsThe fan shaft bearings are of the permanently lubricated type.No lubrication is required.

Electrical TerminalsCaution: Electric shock hazard. Turn off all power before con-tinuing with following service.

All power electrical terminals should be retightened everysix months, as they tend to loosen in service due to normalheating and cooling of the wire.

Compressor Oil LevelBecause of the large refrigerant charge required in an air cool-ed condensing unit, it is usually necessary to put additionaloil into the system. The oil level should be watched carefullyupon initial start-up and for sometime thereafter.

At the present time, Suniso No. 3GS, Calumet R015, andTexaco WF32 oils are approved by Copeland for use in thesecompressors. The oil level should be maintained at about one-third of the sightglass on the compressor body.

Oil may be added to the Copeland compressor through theoil fill hole in the crankcase. To add oil, isolate the crankcaseand pour or pump in the necessary oil. If the system contains

no refrigerant, no special precautions are necessary otherthan keeping the oil clean and dry.

If the system contains a refrigerant charge, close the suc-tion valve and reduce crankcase pressure to 1 to 2 psig. Stopthe compressor and close the discharge valve.

Add the required amount of oil. During the period the com-pressor is exposed to the atmosphere, the refrigerant willgenerate a vapor pressure, retarding the entrance of con-taminants. Before resealing the compressor, purge thecrankcase by opening the suction valve slightly for 1 or 2seconds. Close the oil port, open the compressor valves andrestore the system to operation.

CondensersCondensers are air cooled and constructed with 3/8]’O.D. in-ternally finned copper tubes bonded in a staggered patterninto slit aluminum fins. No maintenance is ordinarily requiredexcept the occasional removal of dirt and debris from the out-side surface of the fins. SnyderGeneral recommends the useof foaming coil cleaners available at air conditioning supplyoutlets. Use caution when applying such cleaners as they maycontain potentially harmful chemicals. Care should be takennot to damage the fins during cleaning. Periodic use of thefield supplied purge valve on the condenser will prevent thebuild-up of noncondensables.

Refrigerant SightglassThe refrigerant sightglass should be observed periodically.(A monthly observation should be adequate.) A clear glassof liquid indicates that there is adequate refrigerant chargein the system to insure proper feed through the expansionvalve. Bubbling refrigerant in the sightglass indicates that thesystem is short of refrigerant charge. Refrigerant gas flashingin the sightglass could also indicate an excessive pressuredrop in the line, possibly due to a clogged filter drier ora restriction elsewhere in the system. If the sightglass doesnot indicate a dry condition after about 12 hours of operation,the unit should be pumped down and the filter driers changed.

Page 14 / IM 404

ServiceNote: Service on this equipment is to be performed by qualified refrigeration service personnel. Causes for repeated trippingof safety controls must be investigated and corrected. Caution: Disconnect all power before doing any service inside the unit.

Filter DriersTo change the filter drier, pump the unit down by movingpumpdown switch PSI to the “manual pumpdown” position.

Move the control switch S1 to the “off” position. Turn off allpower to the unit and install a jumper across terminals 42 and44. This will jump out the low pressure control. Close the fieldsupplied manual liquid line shutoff valve. Turn power to the unitback on and restart the unit by moving the control switch S1 tothe “on” position. The unit will start pumping down past thelow pressure setting. When the evaporator pressure reachesO-5 psig, move control switch S1 to the “off” position.

Front seat the suction line King valve. Remove and replacethe filter drier. Evacuate the line through the liquid line manualshutoff valve to remove noncondensables that may have en-tered during filter replacement. A leak check is recommendedbefore returning the unit to operation.

Liquid Line Solenoid ValveThe liquid line solenoid valve, which is responsible for auto-matic pumpdown during normal unit operation, do not nor-mally require any maintenance. They may, however, requirereplacement of the solenoid coil or of the entire valveassembly.

The solenoid coil may be removed from the valve body without opening the refrigerant piping by moving pumpdownswitch PS1l to the “manual pumpdown” position. The coil canthen be removed from the valve body by simply removing anut or snap-ring located at the top of the coil. The coil canthen be slipped off its mounting stud for replacement. Be sureto replace the coil on its mounting stud before returning pump-down switch PS1 to the “auto pumpdown” position.

To replace the entire solenoid valve follow the steps in-volved when changing a filter drier.

Thermostatic Expansion ValveThe expansion valve is responsible for allowing the properamount of refrigerant to enter the evaporator regardless ofcooling load. It does this by maintaining a constant superheat.(Superheat is the difference between refrigerant temperatureas it leaves the evaporator and the saturation temperature cor-

ponding to the evaporator pressure.) Typically, superheatshould run in the range of 10° F to 15° F. On valves purchasedthrough SnyderGeneral, the superheat setting can be ad-justed by removing the cap at the bottom of the valve to ex-pose the adjustment screw. Turn the screw clockwise (whenviewed from the adjustment screw end) to increase the super-heat setting and counterclockwise to reduce superheat. Allowtime for system rebalance after each superheat adjustment.

The expansion valve, like the solenoid valve, should not nor-mally require replacement, but if it does, the unit must bepumped down by following the steps involved when chang-ing a filter drier.

If the problem can be traced to the power element only,it can be unscrewed from the valve body without removingthe valve, but only after pumping the unit down.

In-Warranty Return Material Procedure

CompressorCopeland Refrigeration Corporation has stocking wholesalerswho maintain a stock of replacement compressors and ser-vice parts to serve refrigeration contractors and servicepersonnel.

When a compressor fails in warranty, contact your localsales representative, or our Warranty Claims Deparment atthe address on the back cover of this bulletin. You will beauthorized to exchange the defective compressor at aCopeland wholesaler, or an advance replacement can be ob-tained. A credit is issued you by the wholesaler for the re-turned compressor after Copeland factory inspection of theinoperative compressor. If that compressor is out of Cope-Iand’s warranty, a salvage credit only is allowed. Providefull details; i.e., McQuay unit model and unit serial numbers.Include the invoice and the salvage value credit memo copiesand we will reimburse the difference. In this transaction, becertain that the compressor is definitely defective. If a com-pressor is received from the field that tests satisfactorily, aservice charge plus a transportation charge will be chargedagainst its original credit value.

On all out-of-warranty compressor failures, Copeland offersthe same field facilities for service and/or replacement as

Appendix: Standard ControlsNote: Perform an operational check on all unit safety controls one per year

P

High Pressure ControlThe high pressure control is a single pole pressure activatedswitch that opens on a rise in pressure. When the switchopens, it de-energizes the compressor circuit, preventing unitoperation until the high pressure control resets itself. The con-trol is factory set to open at 385 psig and reset at 285 psig.The control is attached to a Shrader fitting on the hot gas stublocated in the compressor compartment.

To check the control, either block off the condenser sur-face or start the unit with condenser fan motors off andobserve the cut-out point of the control on the high side ofthe system.

Caution: Although there is an additional pressure reliefdevice in the system set at 450 psig, it is highly recommend-ed that the unit disconnect be close at hand in case the highpressure control should malfunction. After testing the highpressure control, check the pressure relief device for leaks.

Low Pressure ControlThe low pressure control is a single pole pressure switch thatcloses on a pressure rise. It senses evaporator pressure andis factory set to close at 60 psig and automatically open at35 psig. To check the control (unit must be running), movethe pumpdown switch PSI to the “manual pumpdown” posi-tion. As the compressor pumps down, condenser pressurewill rise and evaporator pressure will drop. The lowestevaporator pressure reached before cutout is the cutout set-ting of the control. Wait for the compressor lockout time delayTD1 to time out. By moving the pumpdown switch PSI to the“auto pumpdown” position, evaporator pressure will rise. Thehighest evaporator pressure reached before compressorrestart is the cut-in setting of the control;

The control is attached to a Shrader fitting and is locatedbelow the suction King valve body.

Compressor LockoutCompressor lockout consists of a nonadjustable, 5-minutetime delay. It is wired in series with the R5 relay that energizesrapid compressor cycling when cooling demands are erratic.

When the unit thermostat no longer calls for cooling andthe compressor contractor have opened, the lockout timedelay breaks open the circuit, preventing compressor restart.

The circuit remains open for a period of 5 minutes so that,if the unit thermostat should call for cooling before the delayperiod has expired, the compressor will not restart. After 5minutes the time delay will close its contacts to complete thecircuit to R5, energizing R9 and starting the compressor. WhenR9 is energized, another set of contacts will shunt around TDI,allowing TD1 to reset open for timing out the next compressorcycle.

To check the control, the compressor must be running in-itially. Move the pumpdown switch PSI to the “manual pump-down” position. Immediately after the compressor hasstopped running, move the pumpdown switch back to the“auto pumpdown” position. The compressor should not restartfor 5 minutes.

Compressor Motor ProtectorThe solid-state compressor motor protector module incor-porates a two-minute “time off” relay utilizing the bleed downcapacitor principle. Any time the protection system opens orpower to the module is interrupted, the two-minute “time off’delay is triggered, and the module will not reset for twominutes. Once the two-minute period is passed, the motorprotector contacts 1 and 2 reset, provided the protectionsystem is satisfied and power is applied to the module,

Note: If the power circuit is broken once the two-minuteperiod is passed the pilot circuit will reset without delay whenpower is reapplied.

FanTrol Head Pressure ControlFanTrol is a method of head pressure control which automati-cally cycles the condenser fan motors in response to ambientair temperature and actual condenser pressure. This main-tains head pressure and allows the unit to continue to runat low ambient air temperatures.

All ALP units have FanTrol which cycles fan motor 12 inresponse to condenser pressure, factory set to open at 170psig and close at 290 psig. Condenser fan motor 13 is cycledin response to ambient air temperature and is factory set tocut out at 70° F and cut in at 80F. Both controls are locatedin the unit control box.

to obtain minimum ambient operation.

Oil Pressure Safety ControlThe oil pressure safety control is a manually resettable devicewhich senses the differential between oil pressure at thedischarge of the compressor oil pump and suction pressureinside the compressor crankcase. When the oil pressurereaches approximately 15 psi above the crankcase suctionpressure, the pressure actuated contact of the control opensfrom its normally closed position. If this pressure differentialcannot be developed, the contact will remain closed andenergize a heater element within the control. The heater ele-ment warms a normally closed bimetallic contact and causesthe contact to open, de-energizing a safety relay and break-ing power to the compressor.

It takes about 120 seconds to warm the heater elementenough to open the bimetallic contact, thus allowing time forthe pressure differential to develop.

If during operation, the differential drops below 10 psi, theheater element will be energized and the compressor will stop,The control can be reset by pushing the reset button on thecontrol. If the compressor does not restart, allow a few minutesfor the heater element and bimetallic contacts to cool and resetthe control again.

To check the control, pump down and shut off all power

)

to the unit. Open the circuit breakers or the fused disconnectfor that compressor and install a voltmeter between terminalsLand M of the oil pressure control. Turn on power to the unitcontrol circuit (separate disconnect or main unit disconnectdepending on the type of installation). Check to see that thecontrol stop switch S1 is in the “on” position. The control cir-cuit should now be energized, but with the absence of com-pressor power, no oil pressure differential can develop and

thus the pressure actuated contacts of the control will energizethe heater element and open the bimetallic contacts of thecontrol within 120 seconds. When this happens, the safetyrelay is de-energized, the voltmeter reading will rise to 115V,and the compressor contactor should open. Repeated opera-tions of the control will cause a slight heat build-up in thebimetallic contacts resulting in a slightly longer time for resetwith each successive operation.

Appendix: Optional ControlsNote: Perform an operational check on all unit safety controls once per year

SpeedTrol Head Pressure Control (Optional)The SpeedTrol system of head pressure control operates inconjunction with FanTrol by modulating the motor speed onfan 11 in response to condensing pressure. By reducing thespeed of the last fan as the condensing pressure falls, theunit can operate at lower ambient temperatures.

The SpeedTrol fan motor is a single phase, 208/230 volt,thermally protected motor specially designed for variablespeed application. The solid-state speed control SC11 ismounted inside the control panel and is connected to aShrader fitting on the top of the control panel. Units with 460volt power have a transformer mounted on the back of thecontrol box to step the voltage down to 230 volts for the Speed-Trot motors.

The SpeedTrol control starts to modulate the motor speedat approximately 230 psig and maintains a minimum conden-sing pressure of 170 to 180 psig.

Note: Minimum starting voltage for Speed7701 motors is120V

Low Ambient Start (Optional)Low ambient start is available on all units as an option withFanTrol and included automatically with optional SpeedTrol.It consists of a solid-state, normally closed time delay wiredin series with a relay. These are both wired in parallel to theliquid line solenoid valve so that when the solenoid valve isenergized by the unit thermostat the low ambient start relayis also energized through the time delay. The relay has con-tacts that essentially short-circuit the low pressure control andallow the compressor to start with the low pressure controlopen.

After about 23/4" minutes, the time delay will open and re-energize the relay. If the system has not built up enoughevaporator pressure to close the low pressure control, thecompressor will stop. The time delay can be reset to its originalnormally closed position by moving the pumpdown switch PS1to the “manual pumpdown” position. Moving the pumpdownswitch back to the “auto pumpdown” position will againenergize the relay for another attempt at start-up. If the systemhas built up enough evaporator pressure, the compressor willcontinue to run.

To check the control, turn off all power to the unit andremove wire #112 from terminal #42. Apply power to the unitand call for first stage of cooling. The compressor should startimmediately and shut off after the 23/4"minute time delay.

High Ambient Control (Optional)The high ambient control is a single pole pressure activatedswitch (PC5) that closes on a rise in pressure to partially

unload the compressor. It senses condenser pressure andis factory set to close at 375 psig and will automatically resetat 300 psig. To check the control, either block off the con-denser surface or start the unit with only one condenser fanrunning, and observe the cut-in point of the control by monitor-ing when the compressor unloads. The purpose of this con-trol is to allow the unit to continue operating when the am-bient temperature exceeds the design temperature of the unit.

Part Winding Start (Optional)Part winding start is available on all voltage units and con-sists of a solid-state time delay wired in series with the con-tactor that energizes the second winding of each compressormotor. Its purpose is to limit current in-rush to the compressorupon start-up. As the compressor starts, the contactor of thefirst motor winding is delayed for 1 second.

Control checkout is best accomplished by observation aseach contactor is pulled m to see that the 1 second delay oc-curs before the second contactor pulls in.

Phase/Voltage Monitor (Optional)The phase/voltage monitor is a device which provides pro-tection against three-phase electrical motor loss due to powerfailure conditions, phase loss, and phase reversal. Wheneverany of these conditions occur, an output relay is deactivated,disconnecting power to the thermostatic control circuit, auto-matically pumping down the unit.

The output relay remains deactivated until power line con-ditions return to an acceptable level. Ttip and reset delays havebeen provided to prevent nuisance tripping due to rapid powerfluctuations,

When three-phase power has been applied, the output relayshould close and the “run light” should come on. If the out-put relay does not close, perform the following tests.

1. Check the voltages between L1—L2, L1—L3 and L2—L3.These voltages should be approximately equal and within+ 10% of the rated three-phase line-to-line voltage.

2. If these voltages are extremely low or widely unbalancedcheck the power system to determine the cause of theproblem.

3. If the voltages are good, turn off the power and interchangeany two of the supply power leads at the disconnect.

This may be necessary as the phase/voltage monitor issensitive to phase reversal. Turn on the power. The out-put relay should now close after the appropriate delay.

Hot Gas Bypass (Optional)Hot gas bypass is a system for maintaining evaporatorpressure at or above a minimum value. The purpose for do-ing this is to keep the velocity of the refrigerant as it passesthrough the evaporator high enough for proper oil return tothe compressor when cooling load conditions are light. It alsomaintains continuous operation of the chiller at light load con-ditions. Hot gas bypass kits are described on page 6.

The solenoid valve should be wired to open whenever theunit thermostat calls for the first stage of cooling (see Figure9). The pressure regulating valve is factory set to begin open-ing at 58 psig (32F for R-22) when the air charged bulb isin an 80F ambient temperature, The bulb can be mountedanywhere as long as it senses a fairly constant temperatureat various load conditions, The compressor suction line is onesuch mounting location. It is generally in the 50F to 60Frange. The chart below indicates that when the bulb is sens-ing 50F to 60F temperatures, the valve will begin openingat 54 to 56 psig, This setting can be changed as indicatedabove, by changing the pressure of the air charge in the ad-justable bulb. To raise the pressure setting, remove the capon the bulb and turn the adjustment screw clockwise. To lowerthe setting, turn the screw counterclockwise. Do not force theadjustment beyond the range it is designed for, as this willdamage the adjustment assembly,

The regulating valve opening point can be determined byslowly reducing the system load (or increasing the requiredchilled water temperature setting indicated on the unit thermo-stat), while observing the suction pressure, When the bypassvalve starts to open, the refrigerant line on the evaporator sideof the valve will begin to feel warm to the touch.

Caution: The hot gas line may become hot enough to causeinjury in a very short time, so care should be taken duringvalve checkout.

On installations where the condensing unit is remote fromthe evaporator, it is recommended that the hot gas bypassvalve be mounted near the condensing unit to minimize theamount of refrigerant that will condense in the hot gas lineduring periods when hot gas bypass is not required.

vav — Direct Expansion SystemsThe application of variable air volume (VAV) to a direct expan-sion system can have critical effect on the useful life and per-formance of the condensing unit. Areas of greatest concernare compressor motor cooling, oil return, and refrigerant flowcontrol.

Hot gas bypass is recommended on all compressor circuitsexpected to be in operation during reduced load and airflowconditions. Hot gas bypass will help to insure proper motor

icooling and maintain sufficient refrigerant velocity for properoil return. Failing to install hot gas bypass can result in com-pressor failure.

If building load is expected to be well below design levelsdue to unoccupied space or simply lack of cooling load, itmay be desirable to modify system control to prevent unneed-ed stages of cooling from being used. Too frequent startingand stopping of compressors can result in compressor failure.

The important factor is that the design engineer must beaware of the fact that the VAV system can have a critical ef-fect on the refrigeration system and that precautionarymeasures must be taken to prevent refrigeration systemfailure.
