WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Certain unit components operate at temperatures hot enough to cause burns.

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn.

Failure to follow this warning could result in moderate to serious injury.

External Overload VPAK 9, 12, 18 K Btus

With power off, remove the leads from compressor termi- nals. If the compressor is hot, allow the overload to cool before starting check. Using an ohmmeter, test continu- ity across the terminals of the external overload. If you do not have continuity; this indicates that the overload is open and must be replaced.

Internal Overload VPAK 24 K Btus

The overload is embedded in the motor windings to sense the winding temperature and/or current draw. The overload is connected in series with the common motor terminal.

1.With no power to unit, remove the leads from the com- pressor terminals. Allow motor to cool.

2.Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals C-S and C-R. If no continuity, the compressor overload is open and the compressor must be replaced.

Single Phase Resistance Test

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Turn off electric power before service or installation. Extreme care must be used, if it becomes necessary to work on equipment with power applied.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

Remove the leads from the compressor terminals and set the ohmmeter on the lowest scale (R x 1).

Touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common to start (“C” to “S”). Next, touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common to run (“C” to “R”).

Add values “C” to “S” and “C” to “R” together and check resistancefromstarttorunterminals(“S”to“R”). Resistance “S” to “R” should equal the total of “C” to “S” and “C” to “R.”

In a single phase PSC compressor motor, the highest value will be from the start to the run connections (“S” to “R”). The next highest resistance is from the start to the common connections (“S” to “C”). The lowest resistance is from the run to common. (“C” to “R”) Before replacing a compressor, check to be sure it is defective.

GROUND TEST

Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one lead to the compressor body (clean point of contact as a good connection is a must) and the other probe in turn to each compressor terminal. If a reading is obtained the compressor is grounded and must be replaced.

Check the complete electrical system to the compressor and compressor internal electrical system, check to be certain that compressor is not out on internal overload.

Complete evaluation of the system must be made whenever you suspect the compressor is defective. If the compressor has been operating for sometime, a careful examination must be made to determine why the compressor failed.

Many compressor failures are caused by the following conditions:

1.Improper air fl ow over the evaporator.

2.Overcharged refrigerant system causing liquid to be returned to the compressor.

3.Restricted refrigerant system.

4.Lack of lubrication.

5.Liquid refrigerant returning to compressor causing oil to be washed out of bearings.

6.Noncondensables such as air and moisture in the system. Moisture is extremely destructive to a refrigerant system.

R410A specifications

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.
