SPECIAL PROCEDURE IN THE CASE OF MOTOR COMPRESSOR BURNOUT

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Turn off electric power before service or installation.

Failure to do so may result in personal injury, or death.

WARNING

HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD

Sealed Refrigeration System contains refrigerant and oil under high pressure.

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn when working with refrigerants.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

The use of nitrogen requires a pressure regulator. Follow all safety procedures and wear protective safety clothing etc.

Failure to follow proper safety procedures result in serious injury or death.

1.Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.

2.Remove compressor, capillary tube and filter drier from the system.

3.Flush evaporator condenser and all connecting tubing with dry nitrogen or equivalent. Use approved flushing agent to remove all contamination from system. Inspect suction and discharge line for carbon deposits. Remove and clean if necessary.

Ensure all acid is neutralized.

4.Reassemble the system, including new drier strainer and capillary tube.

5.Proceed with step 8-10 on previous page.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!

Turn off electrical power before service or installation. All eletrical connections and wiring MUST be installed by a qualified electrician and conform to the National Code and all local codes which have jurisdiction. Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury and/or death.

To ensure proper unit operation and life expectancy, the following maintenance procedures should be performed on a regular basis

1. Air Filter

To ensure proper unit operation, the air filters should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if conditions warrant. The unit must be turned off before the filters are cleaned.

To remove the air filters, grasp the top of the filter and lift out of the front cabinet. Reverse the procedure to reinstall the filters.

Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm water, and allow them to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

2. Coils & Chassis

NOTE: Do not use a caustic coil cleaning agent on coils or base pan. Use a biodegradable cleaning agent and degreaser. The use of harsh cleaning materials may lead to deterioration of the aluminum fins or the coil end plates.

The indoor coil and outdoor coils and base pan should be inspected periodically (annually or semi-annually) and cleaned of all debris (lint, dirt, leaves, paper, etc.) as necessary. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may be required. Clean the coils and base pan with a soft brush and compressed air or vacuum. A pressure washer may also be used, however, you must be careful not to bend the aluminum fin pack. Use a sweeping up and down motion in the direction of the vertical aluminum fin pack when pressure cleaning coils.

Note: It is extremely important to insure that none of the electrical and/or electronic parts of the unit get wet. Be sure to cover all electrical components to protect them from water or spray.

3. Decorative Front

The decorative front and discharge air grille may be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent. Do NOT use solvents or hydrocarbon based cleaners such as acetone, naphtha, gasoline, benzene, etc., to clean the decorative front or air discharge grilles.

Use a damp (not wet) cloth when cleaning the control area to prevent water from entering the unit, and possibly damaging the electronic control

4. Fan Motor & Compressor

The fan motor & compressor and are permanently lubricated, and require no additional lubrication.

5. Wall Sleeve

Inspect the inside of the wall sleeve and drain system periodically (annually or semi-annually) and clean as required. Under extreme conditions, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Clean both of these areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and ensure that the drain outlets are operating properly.

Friedrich R410A is a refrigerant blend that has become a cornerstone in the HVAC industry, particularly for air conditioning systems. This hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) is known for its efficiency and environmentally friendly properties, making it a popular alternative to older refrigerants like R22.

One of the main features of R410A is its exceptional thermal efficiency. It has a higher cooling capacity compared to R22, which allows for smaller and more efficient equipment. This efficiency translates to reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs for users. Additionally, the higher pressure capability of R410A enables the design of more compact systems, which is particularly beneficial for residential and commercial applications where space is often limited.

R410A is characterized by its zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), which is a significant advantage over its predecessors. This makes it a more environmentally responsible choice, aligning with global initiatives to phase out substances that harm the ozone layer. However, it is essential to note that while R410A does not deplete the ozone, it does have a global warming potential (GWP) of approximately 2,088, making it less favorable in terms of climate impact compared to natural refrigerants.

In terms of technology, R410A is typically utilized in systems that are designed specifically for this refrigerant. Equipment compatible with R410A often features advanced components that can handle the higher pressures required. Many modern air conditioning systems equipped with R410A also incorporate variable-speed compressors and advanced electronic controls, enhancing overall performance and comfort.

Additionally, R410A systems often come equipped with variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology, which allows for precise temperature control in multiple zones of a building. This versatility makes R410A an ideal choice for both residential and commercial installations, providing optimal comfort throughout various spaces.

In summary, Friedrich R410A stands out due to its high energy efficiency, zero ozone depletion potential, and suitability for modern HVAC technologies. As the industry moves towards more sustainable practices, R410A serves as a reliable refrigerant that balances performance with environmental responsibility. It’s a significant choice for anyone looking to invest in efficient and eco-friendly heating and cooling solutions.
