Step 5 Ð Trap Condensate Drain Ð See Fig. 3-6 for drain location. Condensate drain is open to atmosphere and must be trapped. Install a trapped drain at the drain lo- cation. A trap at least 4-in. deep must be used. See Fig. 12. Trap must be installed to prevent freeze-up.

Condensate pans are sloped so that water will completely drain from the condensate pan to comply with indoor air qual- ity guidelines. The condensate drain pan is ®tted with a 1-in. FPT coupling.

Step 6 Ð Install Gas Piping Ð Unit is equipped for use with natural gas. Installation must conform with local building codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Install manual gas shutoff valve with a 1¤8-in. NPT pres- sure tap for test gage connection at unit. Field gas piping must include sediment trap and union. See Fig. 13. An 1¤8-in. NPT is also located on the gas manifold adjacent to the gas valve.

Do not pressure test gas supply while connected to unit. Always disconnect union before servicing.

IMPORTANT: Natural gas pressure at unit gas con- nection must not be less than 5 in. wg or greater than 13.5 in. wg.

Size gas-supply piping for 0.5-in. wg maximum pressure drop. Do not use supply pipe smaller than unit gas connection.

Step 7 Ð Controls Options Ð The control options that the units can provide are based on the following param- eters: CV (constant volume) or VAV (variable air volume) operation; stand-alone unit with ®eld-supplied sensors in- stalled (CV or VAV); as a system via Carrier Comfort Sys- tem (TEMP or VVT ); optional electronic expansion board installed (CV or VAV); linked to the Carrier Comfort Network; and availability of a computer and software (ComfortWorks™ Building Supervisor, and Service Tool) or LID-2B accessory installed to access the base control board. See Table 3.

NOTE: Access to the base control board allows unit occu- pancy schedules, unit timeclock, and various set points to be changed from their factory-de®ned default settings.

All units are equipped with a supply air thermistor (SAT) located in the supply fan discharge and an outdoor air ther- mistor (OAT) located in the outdoor air hood. Variable air volume units are supplied with a return air thermistor (RAT) located on the return air damper support.

CONSTANT VOLUME APPLICATIONS Ð The units, as shipped, are operable as stand-alone units, using either a stand- ard (mechanical or electronic) 2-stage heat, 2-stage cool ther- mostat, or with an electronic room sensor and a timeclock to establish unit start and stop times.

With a standard thermostat (programmable is optional), heating and cooling operation is set by space temperature.

With a space sensor and timeclock, the machine will op- erate at default values unless they are changed using appro- priate input devices. The space sensor senses space tempera- ture and may be equipped with a timed override feature, which allows unit operation during unoccupied periods.

EW, EY024-048, EK, 48EJ specifications

The Carrier 48EJ, 48AW, 48EK, 48AJ, and 48EY024-068 are cutting-edge rooftop air conditioning units designed for commercial applications. These models are renowned for their reliability, energy efficiency, and innovative technologies aimed at providing optimal indoor comfort.

One of the standout features of these units is their advanced cooling and heating capabilities. They employ a multi-stage compressor system that allows for precise temperature control, accommodating various load requirements. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in commercial settings where the cooling load can fluctuate throughout the day.

Energy efficiency is paramount in today’s environmental landscape, and Carrier has ensured that these models meet stringent efficiency standards. They incorporate high-efficiency scroll compressors, which significantly reduce energy consumption while delivering powerful performance. The units are also equipped with variable speed fans that adjust airflow based on demand, further optimizing energy use.

In terms of construction, these rooftop units feature a robust design that enhances durability and longevity. The cabinet is constructed to withstand harsh weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance year-round. Additionally, the units are equipped with corrosion-resistant coatings, particularly useful in coastal environments where salt exposure can be a concern.

The Carrier 48EJ, 48AW, 48EK, 48AJ, and 48EY models utilize advanced controls and connectivity features, allowing for easy integration into building management systems. This connectivity enables remote monitoring and control, facilitating quick response to changing conditions and simplifying maintenance tasks.

Noise reduction is another key characteristic of these models. They are designed with sound-absorbing insulation and low-noise fan blades to ensure quiet operation, making them suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as schools and hospitals.

These units are also available with various options for air filtration and dehumidification. The use of high-efficiency air filters enhances indoor air quality by trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Enhanced dehumidification capabilities ensure that spaces remain comfortable even in humid conditions.

In conclusion, the Carrier 48EJ, 48AW, 48EK, 48AJ, and 48EY024-068 rooftop units are engineered to offer exceptional performance, energy efficiency, and durability. With their advanced technologies and user-friendly features, they stand out as reliable solutions for meeting diverse commercial cooling and heating needs, making them a popular choice for many businesses.
