Receiver Ð No receiver is provided with the unit; it is recommended that one not be used.

Piping Procedure Ð Do not remove run-around pipe from suction and liquid line stubs until piping connections are ready to be made. Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through piping while brazing, to prevent formation of copper oxide.

Install ®eld-supplied thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) in liquid line ahead of each evaporator section. For 2-stage cooling, the ®eld-supplied capacity control solenoid used must be wired to be opened by control from a 2-stage thermostat.

SUCTION PIPING AT EVAPORATOR AND TXV BULB LOCATION (See Fig. 5) Ð The purpose of these recom- mendations is to achieve good mixing of the refrigerant leav- ing the evaporator suction header for proper sensing by the TXV bulb.

1.A minimum of two 90° elbows must be installed up- stream of the expansion valve bulb location.

2.The TXV sensing bulb should be located on a vertical riser where possible. If a horizontal location is necessary, secure the bulb at approximately the 4 o'clock position.

3.Size the suction line from the evaporator through the riser for high velocity. Enter the suction pipe sizing charts in the Carrier System Design Manual at design tons and equiva- lent length (for 2° F [1.1° C] loss). If reading falls be- tween 2 sizes on chart, choose the smaller pipe size.

Suction piping for the high velocity section should be selected for about 0.5° F (0.3° C) friction loss. If a 2° F (1.1° C) loss is allowed for the entire suction line, 1.5° F (0.8° C) is left for the balance of the suction line, and it should be sized on that basis. Check that the high-velocity sizing is adequate for oil return up the riser.

If an oil return connection at the bottom of this suction header is supplied with an evaporator, this connection must be teed-in ahead of ®rst mixing elbow. When the compres- sor is below the evaporator, the riser at the evaporator does not have to extend as high as the top level. After a 15-diameter riser has been provided, the suction line may elbow down immediately.

SAFETY RELIEF Ð A fusible plug is located on unit liquid line before the liquid valve.
