New or Replacement Line Set

REFRIGERANT LINE SET

This section provides information on installation or replacement of existing line set. If new or replacement line set is not being installed then proceed to Brazing Connections on page 12.

IMPORTANT

Lennox highly recommends changing line set when converting the existing system from HCFC−22 to HFC−410A. If that is not possible and the line set is the proper size as reference in table 2, use the procedure outlined under Flushing the System on page 13.

If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, then seal and isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and subsequent sounds. See figure 7 for recommended installation practices. Also, consider the following when placing and installing a high−efficiency outdoor unit.

Liquid lines that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1 liquid lines, must not be used in this application. Existing line set of proper size as listed in table 2 may be reused. If system was previously charged with HCFC−22 refrigerant, then existing line set must be flushed (see Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page 15).

Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and vapor lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit coil (braze connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat, non−flare) series line set, or field−fabricated refrigerant line sizes as listed in table 2.

NOTE When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50 feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and Fabrication Guidelines, CORP. 9351−L9, or contact Lennox Technical Support Product Applications for assistance.

To obtain the correct information from Lennox, be sure to communicate the following information:

SModel (XC14) and size of unit (e.g. −036).

SLine set diameters for the unit being installed as listed in table 2 and total length of installation.

SNumber of elbows vertical rise or drop in the piping.

The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol ester oil for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend adding oil to system based on the amount of refrigerant charge in the system. No need to add oil in system with 20 pounds of refrigerant or less. For systems over 20 pounds − add one ounce of every five pounds of refrigerant.

Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATEt RL32CF.

IMPORTANT

Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil must be added, it must be a Polyol Ester oil.

Elite Series, XC14 specifications

The Lenox Elite Series XC14 is a remarkable tool designed for superior cutting performance in various applications. This saw blade stands out due to its innovative technologies and features, which cater to the needs of professionals in woodworking, metalworking, and general cutting tasks.

One of the key features of the XC14 is its carbide-tipped teeth. These teeth are engineered for longevity and efficiency, allowing for extended use without performance degradation. The unique geometry of the teeth enhances cutting speed while minimizing resistance, making it ideal for a range of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, and metals.

The blade’s construction is another significant aspect of its design. Made from high-quality steel, the XC14 ensures durability and resistance to bending or warping under stress. This robust construction contributes to the blade's overall stability, resulting in smoother cuts and reduced vibration during operation.

Another noteworthy technology embedded in the XC14 is its advanced tooth design. The combination of alternate top bevel (ATB) and flat (F) configurations allows for precision cutting and a cleaner finish. This feature is particularly beneficial when working on intricate projects that require a high level of accuracy.

To enhance performance further, the XC14 incorporates a unique thin kerf design. This design reduces the width of the cut, which not only conserves material but also requires less power from the saw. This energy efficiency translates to less wear on the saw, extending the lifecycle of both the blade and the tool itself.

The blade is also designed with heat dissipation in mind. Specially engineered cooling vents help in maintaining optimal temperature during operation. This technology reduces the risk of overheating, which can compromise the integrity of the blade and the quality of the cut.

Versatility is another standout feature of the Lenox Elite Series XC14. It is suitable for table saws, miter saws, and portable saws, making it a valuable tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Whether tackling large construction projects, meticulous cabinetry, or small home repairs, the XC14 adapts efficiently to diverse cutting needs.

In conclusion, the Lenox Elite Series XC14 combines advanced technologies, premium materials, and thoughtful design to deliver exceptional cutting performance. Its carbide-tipped teeth, innovative geometry, stable construction, thin kerf, heat dissipation features, and versatility make it a top choice for those seeking reliable and efficient cutting solutions in various applications.
