Carrier 48/50PD05 manual Gas Valve Adjustment, PuronR Refrigerant, Altitude Compensation 48PG03-07

The TXV is set to maintain between 10 and 15 degrees of superheat at the compressors. The valves are factory set and cannot be adjusted. Do not use A TXV designed for use with R-22.

PuronR Refrigerant

Puron refrigerant operates at 50 to 70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement components are designed to operate with Puron refrigerant. Do not mix with components that have been used with other refrigerants. Puron refrigerant, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.

Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig. Puron systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial-type metering device in the manifold hose. Manifold sets should be 750 psig high-side and 200 psig low-side with 520 psig low-side retard. Use hoses with 750 psig service pressure rating. Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.

*As the height above sea level increases, there is less oxygen per cubic foot of air.			48/50PD
Therefore, heat input rate should be reduced at higher altitudes. Includes a 4% input
reduction per each 1000 ft.

Gas Valve Adjustment

The gas valve opens and closes in response to the thermostat or limit control.

When power is supplied to valve terminals W2 (High Fire) and C1, the main valve opens to its preset position.

The regular factory setting is stamped on the valve body. To adjust regulator:

1.Set unit at setting for no call for heat.

2.Turn main gas valve to OFF position.

3.Remove 1/8-in. pipe plug from manifold pressure tap connection. Install a suitable pressure-measuring device.

4.Set main gas valve to ON position.

5.Set thermostat at setting to call for heat.

6.Remove screw cap covering regulator adjustment screw. (See Fig. 37.)

7. Turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure. The setting is 3.50 in. wg on sizes 03-14 and 3.00 on size 16-28.

8.Once desired pressure is established, set unit setting for no

call for heat, turn off main gas valve, remove pressure-measuring device, and replace 1/8-in. pipe plug and screw cap.
