Fig. 49 ---Separating Coil Sections

4.Remove screws securing coil to compressor plate and compressor access panel.

5.Remove fastener holding coil sections together at return end of condenser coil. Carefully separate the outer coil section 3 to 4 in. from the inner coil section. (See Fig. 49.)

6.Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to flush down between the 2 coil sections to remove dirt and debris. Clean the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manner.

7.Secure inner and outer coil rows together with a field-supplied fastener.

8.Reposition the outer coil section and remove the coil corner post from between the top panel and center post.

Reinstall the coil corner post and replace all screws.

Condensate Drain

Check and clean each year at the start of the cooling season. In winter, keep the drain dry or protect it against freeze-up.

Filters

Clean or replace at the start of each heating and cooling season, or more often if operating conditions require it. Replacement filters must be the same dimensions as the original filters.

Outdoor-Air Inlet Screens

Clean the screens with steam or hot water and a mild detergent. Do not use disposable filters in place of screens.

Step 2 Lubrication

Compressor

The compressor is charged with the correct amount of oil at the factory.

Fan Motor Bearings

Fan motor bearings are permanently lubricated. No further lubrication is required. No lubrication of condenser-fan or evaporator-fan motors is required.

Step 3 Condenser-Fan Adjustment

Shut off unit power supply. Remove condenser-fan assembly (grille, motor, motor cover, and fan) and loosen fan hub setscrews. Adjust fan height as shown in Fig. 50. Tighten setscrews and replace condenser-fan assembly.

Step 4 EconoMi$er IV Adjustment

Refer to Optional EconoMi$er IV section.

Step 5 Evaporator Fan Belt Inspection

Check condition of evaporator belt or tension during heating and cooling inspections or as conditions require. Replace belt or adjust as necessary.

Step 6 High Pressure Switch

The high-pressure switch contains a Schrader core depressor, and is located on the compressor hot gas line. This switch opens at 428 psig and closes at 320 psig. No adjustments are necessary.

Step 7 Loss-of-Charge Switch

The loss-of-charge switch contains a Schrader core depressor, and is located on the compressor liquid line. This switch opens at 7 psig and closes at 22 psig. No adjustments are necessary.

Step 8 Freeze-Stat

The freeze-stat is a bimetal temperature-sensing switch that is located on the “hair-pin” end of the evaporator coil. The switch protects the evaporator coil from freeze-up due to lack of airflow. The switch opens at 30_F and closes at 45_F. No adjustments are necessary.

Step 9 Refrigerant Charge

Amount of refrigerant charge is listed on unit nameplate (also refer to Table 1). Refer to HVAC Servicing Procedures literature available at your local distributor and the following procedures.

Unit panels must be in place when unit is operating during charging procedure. Unit must operate a minimum of 10 minutes before checking or adjusting refrigerant charge.

An accurate superheat, thermocouple-type or thermistor-type thermometer, and a gauge manifold are required when using the superheat charging method for evaluating the unit charge. Do not use mercury or small dial-type thermometers because they are not adequate for this type of measurement.

No Charge

Use standard evacuating techniques. After evacuating system to 500 microns, weigh in the specified amount of refrigerant. (Refer to Table 1 or 2 and unit information plate.)
