HERMETIC COMPONENTS CHECK

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Proper safety procedures must be followed, and proper protective clothing must be worn when working with a torch.

Failure to follow these procedures could result in moderate or serious injury.

WARNING

CUT/SEVER HAZARD

Be careful with the sharp edges and corners. Wear protective clothing and gloves, etc.

Failure to do so could result in serious injury.

METERING DEVICE

Capillary Tube Systems

All units are equipped with capillary tube metering devices.

Checking for restricted capillary tubes.

1.Connect pressure gauges to unit.

2.Start the unit in the cooling mode. If after a few minutes of operation the pressures are normal, the check valve and the cooling capillary are not restricted.

3.Switch the unit to the heating mode and observe the gauge readings after a few minutes running time. If the system pressure is lower than normal, the heating capillary is restricted.

4.If the operating pressures are lower than normal in both the heating and cooling mode, the cooling capillary is restricted.

CHECK VALVE

A unique two-way check valve is used on the reverse cycle heat pumps. It is pressure operated and used to direct the flow of refrigerant through a single filter drier and to the proper capillary tube during either the heating or cooling cycle.

One-way Check Valve

(Heat Pump Models)

NOTE: The slide (check) inside the valve is made of teflon. Should it become necessary to replace the check valve, place a wet cloth around the valve to prevent overheating during the brazing operation.

CHECK VALVE OPERATION

In the cooling mode of operation, high pressure liquid enters the check valve forcing the slide to close the opposite port (liquid line) to the indoor coil. Refer to refrigerant flow chart. This directs the refrigerant through the filter drier and cooling capillary tube to the indoor coil.

In the heating mode of operation, high pressure refrigerant enters the check valve from the opposite direction, closing the port (liquid line) to the outdoor coil. The flow path of the refrigerant is then through the filter drier and heating capillary to the outdoor coil.

Failure of the slide in the check valve to seat properly in either mode of operation will cause flooding of the cooling coil. This is due to the refrigerant bypassing the heating or cooling capillary tube and entering the liquid line.

COOLING MODE

In the cooling mode of operation, liquid refrigerant from condenser (liquid line) enters the cooling check valve forcing the heating check valve shut. The liquid refrigerant is directed into the liquid dryer after which the refrigerant is metered through cooling capillary tubes to evaporator. (Note: liquid refrigerant will also be directed through the heating capillary tubes in a continuous loop during the cooling mode).

HEATING MODE

In the heating mode of operation, liquid refrigerant from the indoor coil enters the heating check valve forcing the cooling check valve shut. The liquid refrigerant is directed into the liquid dryer after which the refrigerant is metered through the heating capillary tubes to outdoor coils. (Note: liquid refrigerant will also be directed through the cooling capillary tubes in a continuous loop during the heating mode).

The incorporation of efficient compressors and high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings ensures that users save money on their electricity bills while enjoying optimal cooling performance.

The units also feature advanced inverter technology, which allows for variable speed operation. This means that the system can adjust its cooling capacity based on the current temperature needs, resulting in more consistent comfort while reducing wear and tear on the equipment. Additionally, the inverter technology operates more quietly compared to traditional systems, making these models suitable for both home environments and commercial settings.

Friedrich 2008 and 2009 also provide users with enhanced control options. The inclusion of smart technology and Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote monitoring and temperature adjustments via smartphones or tablets. Users can create schedules, set temperature preferences, and receive maintenance alerts, contributing to a more user-friendly experience.

Moreover, these models are designed with robust construction, featuring durable materials that withstand various weather conditions. Their compact footprint and sleek design make them suitable for window installation, while an array of sizes accommodates spaces of different dimensions.

Additionally, the air filtration systems in Friedrich 2008 and 2009 units improve indoor air quality. They effectively capture dust, allergens, and other particulates, ensuring a healthier environment for occupants.

In summary, Friedrich 2008 and 2009 models stand out for their energy efficiency, innovative inverter technology, smart controls, and robust construction. With a focus on user comfort and environmental responsibility, these models provide reliable solutions for effective heating and cooling in diverse applications.
