Install Field Insulation
Protect insulation from weld heat damage and weld splat- ter. Cover with wet canvas cover during water piping installation.
When installing insulation at the job site, insulate the fol- lowing components (see Fig. 24 and Table 15):
·compressor motor
·cooler shell
·cooler tube sheets
·suction piping
·motor cooling drain
·oil cooler refrigerant side tubing
·utility vessel (low side)
Additional insulation of condenser and compressor com- ponents and lines may be necessary to prevent condensation on these components.
NOTE: Carrier does not provide waterbox insulation. Insu- lation of the waterbox covers must be ®eld supplied at the jobsite. When insulating the waterbox covers, allow enough room for removal of the waterbox covers during servicing.
FACTORY INSULATION (OPTIONAL) Ð Optional factory insulation is available for the evaporator shell and tube sheets, suction pipe, compressor motors, and refriger- ant drain line(s). Insulation applied at the factory is 3¤4 in. (19.0 mm) thick and has a thermal conductivity K value of
0.28 | Btu | in. | (0.0404 | W | °C). Insulation conforms |
hr ft2 | °F | m |
with UL Standard 94, Classi®cation 94 HBF.
