Functional Components

Friedrich 2008, 2009 service manual Functional Components

A. Mechanical components

Drain pan valve

Temperature-sensitive valve that opens up to drain off condensate water when the outside temperature falls below 40°F and closes when the outside temperature reaches 60°F

Plenum assembly

Diffuser with directional louvers used to direct the conditioned airﬂow.

Blower wheel

Attaches to the indoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used for distributing unconditioned, room side air though the heat exchanger and delivering conditioned air into the room.

Slinger fan blade

Attaches to the outdoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used to move outside air through the condenser coil, while

slinging condensate water out of the base pan and onto the condenser coil, thus lowering the temperature and pressures within the coil.

B. Electrical components

Thermostat

Used to maintain the speciﬁed room side comfort level

System switch

Used to regulate the operation of the fan motor, the compressor or to turn the unit off. For troubleshooting, refer to the wiring diagrams and schematics in the back of this service manual.

Capacitor

Reduces line current and steadies the voltage supply, while greatly improving the torque characteristics of the fan motor and compressor motor.

MoneySaver® switch

When engaged, it sends the power supply to the fan motor through the thermostat, which allows for a cycle-fan operation.

Fan Motor

Dual-shafted fan motor operates the indoor blower wheel and the condenser fan blade simultaneously.

Solenoid

Used to energize the reversing valve on all heat pump units.

Heating element

Electric resistance heater

Heat anticipator

Used to provide better thermostat and room air temperature control.

C. Hermetic components

Compressor

Motorized device used to compress refrigerant through the sealed system.

Reversing valve

A four-way switching device used on all heat pump models to change the ﬂow of refrigerant to permit heating or cooling.

Check valve

A pressure-operated device used to direct the ﬂow of refrigerant to the proper capillary tube, during either the heating or cooling cycle.

Capillary tube

A cylindrical meter device used to evenly distribute the ﬂow of refrigerant to the heat exchangers (coils.)

2009, 2008 specifications

Friedrich 2008 and 2009 represent significant advancements in heating and cooling technology, particularly in the realm of air conditioning systems. Friedrich is known for producing robust and efficient HVAC solutions tailored for both residential and commercial applications. These models are particularly noteworthy for their innovative features and energy-efficient technologies that enhance user comfort and lower operational costs.

One of the main characteristics of the Friedrich 2008 and 2009 models is their emphasis on energy efficiency. Both units are designed to meet or exceed Energy Star standards, which indicates that they use less energy compared to standard models, contributing to greener living solutions. The incorporation of efficient compressors and high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings ensures that users save money on their electricity bills while enjoying optimal cooling performance.

The units also feature advanced inverter technology, which allows for variable speed operation. This means that the system can adjust its cooling capacity based on the current temperature needs, resulting in more consistent comfort while reducing wear and tear on the equipment. Additionally, the inverter technology operates more quietly compared to traditional systems, making these models suitable for both home environments and commercial settings.

Friedrich 2008 and 2009 also provide users with enhanced control options. The inclusion of smart technology and Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote monitoring and temperature adjustments via smartphones or tablets. Users can create schedules, set temperature preferences, and receive maintenance alerts, contributing to a more user-friendly experience.

Moreover, these models are designed with robust construction, featuring durable materials that withstand various weather conditions. Their compact footprint and sleek design make them suitable for window installation, while an array of sizes accommodates spaces of different dimensions.

Additionally, the air filtration systems in Friedrich 2008 and 2009 units improve indoor air quality. They effectively capture dust, allergens, and other particulates, ensuring a healthier environment for occupants.

In summary, Friedrich 2008 and 2009 models stand out for their energy efficiency, innovative inverter technology, smart controls, and robust construction. With a focus on user comfort and environmental responsibility, these models provide reliable solutions for effective heating and cooling in diverse applications.
