Fig. 2 — Model Number Identification

Identifying the Drive by Part Number — Each LiquiFlo™

2.0AC drive can be identified by its part number. See Fig. 5. This number appears on the shipping label and on the VFD nameplate.

Drive Input Component Location — Figure 6 identifies the control center components.

Identifying the Power Module by I.D. Number — Each Liqui- Flo 2.0 AC power module can be identified by its I.D. number. See Fig. 5. This number appears on the shipping label and on the power module’s nameplate. Power ratings are provided in Table 1.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS — Certain requirements should be checked before continuing with the chiller’s electri- cal installation. Input power wire sizes, branch circuit protec- tion, and control wiring are all areas that need to be evaluated.

Determining Wire Size Requirements — Wire size should be determined based on the size of the conduit openings, and applicable local, national, and international codes (e.g., NEC [National Electric Code]/CEC [California Energy Commis- sion] regulations). General recommendations are included in the Carrier field wiring drawing.

Conduit Entry Size — It is important to determine the size of the conduit openings in the enclosure power entry plate so that the wire planned for a specific entry point will fit through the opening. Do NOT punch holes or drill into the top surface of the control center enclosure for field wiring. Do not punch holes or drill into the top surface of the control center enclosure for field wiring. Knockouts are provided in the back of the control center for field control wiring connections.

Recommended Control and Signal Wire Sizes — The rec- ommended minimum size wire to connect I/O signals to the control terminal blocks is 18 AWG (American Wire Gage). Recommended terminal tightening torque is 7 to 9 in.-lb (0.79 to 1.02 N-m).

Recommended Air Flow Clearances — Be sure there is ade- quate clearance for air circulation around the enclosure. A 6-in. (152.4 mm) minimum clearance is required wherever vents are located in the VFD enclosure.

Match Power Module Input and Supply Power Ratings — It is important to verify that building power will meet the input power requirements of the Machine Electrical Data nameplate

input power rating. Be sure the input power to the chiller corresponds to the chiller’s nameplate voltage, current, and fre- quency. Refer to machine nameplate in Fig. 7. The machine electrical data nameplate is located on the right side of the control center.

PROVIDE MACHINE PROTECTION — Protect machine and VFD enclosure from construction dirt and moisture. Keep protective shipping covers in place until machine is ready for installation.

If machine is exposed to freezing temperatures after water circuits have been installed, open waterbox drains and remove all water from cooler and condenser. Leave drains open until system is filled.

It is important to properly plan before installing a 23XRV unit to ensure that the environment and operating conditions are satisfactory. The installation must comply with all require- ments in the certified prints.

Rigging the Machine — The 23XRV machine can be rigged as an entire assembly. Large interconnecting piping has flanged connections that allow the compressor, cooler, and condenser sections to be separated and rigged individually. In addition, the VFD can be removed and rigged separately.

RIG MACHINE ASSEMBLY — See rigging instructions on label attached to machine. Also refer to rigging guide (Fig. 8), physical data in Fig. 9, and Tables 2-9B. Lift machine only from the points indicated in rigging guide. Each lifting cable or chain must be capable of supporting the entire weight of the machine.

Lifting machine from points other than those specified may result in serious damage to the unit and personal injury. Rigging equipment and procedures must be adequate for machine weight. See Fig. 8 for machine weights.

NOTE: These weights are broken down into component sections for use when installing the unit in sections. For the complete machine weight, add all component sections and refrigerant charge together. See Tables 5-9B for machine component weights.

HFC-134A specifications

Carrier HFC-134A, also known as tetrafluoroethane, is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant widely used in a variety of cooling and heating applications. It is recognized for its role in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, making it a crucial component in many modern HVAC units. One of the key features of HFC-134A is its zero ozone depletion potential, which makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to older refrigerants like CFCs and HCFCs.

The characteristics of HFC-134A include its stability, non-corrosiveness, and effectiveness at low temperatures. These properties allow it to perform efficiently in both residential and commercial refrigeration systems. The refrigerant operates within a temperature range that is ideal for many applications, including food preservation and air conditioning. HFC-134A's thermodynamic properties enable it to absorb and release heat effectively, making it suitable for both vapor-compression and absorption refrigeration cycles.

From a technological perspective, the use of HFC-134A aligned with the transition to more sustainable refrigerants. As global environmental regulations have tightened, manufacturers have shifted towards refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP). HFC-134A has a GWP of approximately 1,430, which is lower than many of its predecessors but still higher than some newer alternatives. This aspect drives ongoing research and development in the industry, aiming to create even more environmentally sound refrigerants.

Carrier HFC-134A is compatible with various lubricants and can be integrated into systems designed for other refrigerants with minimal modifications. This flexibility allows for a smoother transition within existing installations as businesses and homeowners upgrade their HVAC systems to comply with environmental regulations.

In summary, Carrier HFC-134A plays a significant role in modern refrigeration and air conditioning technology. Its main features, including zero ozone depletion potential, stability, and efficiency, contribute to its widespread use in various applications. As the industry continues to evolve, the focus on reducing the environmental impact of refrigerants will undoubtedly influence the future direction of HFC-134A usage and the development of new alternatives.
