Carrier 39LC, 39LB, 39LD, 39LA, 39LE, 39LF, 39LH03-25, 39LG Face Split Coil Suction Line Piping

Page 19

SUCTION PIPING — Connect suction piping as shown in Fig. 24 for face split coil or Fig. 25 for row split coil.

Suction line from coil connection to end of the 15-diameter- long riser should be same tube size as coil connection to ensure proper refrigerant velocity.

Refer to Carrier System Design Manual, Part 3, and size re- maining suction line to compressor for a pressure drop equiva- lent to 2.0 F. This will provide a total suction line header pres- sure drop equivalent to approximately 2.5 F. Refer to Fig. 26 for piping risers to the compressor.

To minimize the possibility of flooded starts and compres- sor damage during prolonged light load operation, install an ac- cumulator in the suction line or a solenoid in the liquid line of last-on, first off split in row-split applications.

EXPANSION VALVE PIPING — Distributor nozzles sized for acceptable performance for a range of conditions are facto- ry supplied. Use the AHU (Air-Handling Unit) selection pro- gram in the Carrier electronic catalog to select optimal nozzle sizes. Replace factory nozzle as necessary for best perfor- mance. See Fig. 27.

Thermostatic expansion valves are field supplied. See Fig. 27.

NOTE: Be sure that correct nozzle is installed in each distribu- tor before installing expansion valve. Before installing field- supplied nozzles, remove nozzle retainer rings and factory- installed minimum-sized nozzles from distributors.

Install expansion valve (Fig. 27) as follows:

1.Wrap wet cloths around valve body to prevent excessive heat from reaching diaphragm and internal parts. Do not allow water to enter system. Disassemble expansion valve before soldering, if accessible, for easy reassembly. Use 95-5tin-antimony soft solder.

2.Solder expansion valve outlet directly to distributor un- less:

a.An adapter bushing or coupling is supplied by the factory (solder adapter to distributor first, then to expansion valve).

b.Hot gas bypass is required. (See Hot Gas Bypass section, below.)

3.Solder expansion valve equalizer line to suction line and locate control bulb on suction line as in Fig. 24 or 25.

4.Insulate expansion valve body, diaphragm assembly and control bulb area to prevent charge migration and exces- sive condensation.

5.Install filter drier ahead of expansion valve to ensure sat- isfactory valve operation.

HOT GAS BYPASS — When low-load operation requires use of hot gas bypass, hot gas must be introduced between ex- pansion valve and distributor. See Table 9.

Install hot gas bypass connector (Fig. 28) in coil split that is first on, last off as follows:

1.Remove distributor nozzle and retainer ring (area A) from distributor and reinstall in inlet (area B) of side connector.

2.Solder side connector outlet to distributor inlet, using silver solder or equivalent with 1300 to 1500 F melt temperature.

3.Silver-solder expansion valve outlet to side connector inlet.

4.If required, install factory-supplied adapter bushing or coupling to connector inlet before soldering to expansion valve outlet.
