Lifting the Control Center — Care should be used to prevent damage due to dropping or jolting when moving the control center. A fork truck or similar means of lifting and transporting may be used. Sling in a manner that will equalize the load at the pickup points. Use a spreader bar if the angle of the sling is less than 45 degrees relative to horizontal. Do not jolt while lifting.

Use the following procedure to lift the control center.

1.Remove the rubber hole plugs in the top of the control center and fully thread in 4 eyebolts or swivel hoist rings (see Fig. 21). Lifting hardware must have 3/4 in.-10 x 2 in. long threads and must have a working load limit of at least 6000 lb (2722 kg). Typical eyebolts are Chicago Hardware (size 28) or Grainger (P/N 5ZA63).

2.Attach a sling to the four lifting eyebolts. Make certain that the angle of the sling is not less than 45 degrees relative to horizontal.

3.Using an overhead or portable hoist (minimum 2 ton rated capacity), attach a free-fall chain to the sling secured to the drive. Take up any slack in the chain.

4.Rig the control center and remove the bolts that secure it to the VFD mounting brackets on the condenser (see Fig. 21).

5.Confirm that welding procedures comply with local Pressure Vessel Codes before removing a portion of the VFD support bracket from the condenser. Custom brack- ets should be fabricated if part of the VFD supports must be cut off of the condenser to reduce the width of the condenser assembly. Clamp ¼-in. plates over both sides of the VFD bracket and drill two pairs of holes that

straddle the line along which the VFD brackets will be cut. This will allow the VFD brackets to be reinstalled and welded in their original position.

NOTE: To reassemble, follow steps in reverse order. Connect sensors and cables after major components have been secured to reduce the risk damaging them. (See Fig. 22.)

REMOVE THE DISCHARGE PIPE ASSEMBLY FROM THE CONDENSER

NOTE: For steps 1 through 6 refer to Fig. 12.

The condenser relief valve and relief valve vent piping should be removed if they will interfere with discharge pipe assembly rigging.

1.Remove the discharge pipe assembly relief valve and relief valve vent piping.

2.Disconnect the compressor discharge temperature sensor.

3.Disconnect the compressor discharge pressure sensor and remove the high discharge pressure switch sensor.

4.Rig the discharge pipe assembly and remove the bolts from the compressor discharge and condenser inlet flange. Note the position and orientation of the discharge isolation valve on the condenser inlet flange.

5.Remove the discharge pipe assembly.

6.Cover all openings.

NOTE: To reassemble, follow steps in reverse order. Connect sensors and cables after major components have been secured to reduce the risk of damaging them.

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.
