STEP 2 -- REFRIGERANT PIPING -- Flushing Existing Line Set and Indoor Coil

Flush the existing line set per the following instructions. For more information, refer to the Installation and Service Procedures manual available on DaveNet. CAUTION - DO NOT attempt to flush and re-use existing line sets or indoor coil when the system contains contaminants (i.e., compressor burn out).

NOTE - When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50 feet, refer to the Refrigerant Piping Design and Fabrication Guidelines manual available on DaveNet (Corp. 9351-L9), or contact the Technical Support Department Product Application group for assistance.

IMPORTANT !

If this unit is being matched with an approved line set or indoor unit coil that was previously charged with mineral oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which was manufactured before January of 1999, the coil and line set must be flushed prior to installation. Take care to empty all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE) oils are used in Lennox units charged with HFC-410A refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act as an insula­ tor, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also clog the expansion device and reduce system perfor­ mance and capacity.

Failure to properly flush the system per this instruc­ tion and the detailed Installation and Service Proce­ dures manual will void the warranty.

WARNING

WARNING

Polyol ester (POE) oils used with HFC-410A refrigerant absorb moisture very quickly. It is very important that the refrigerant system be kept closed as much as possible. DO NOT remove line set caps or service valve stub caps until you are ready to make connections.

IMPORTANT !

Some scroll compressors have an internal vacuum protector that will unload scrolls when suction pres­ sure goes below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be heard when the compressor is running unloaded. Protector will reset when low pressure in system is raised above 40 psig. DO NOT REPLACE COMPRES­ SOR.

LIQUID LINE FILTER DRIER INSTALLATION

The filter drier (one is shipped with each 13ACX unit) must be field installed in the liquid line between the outdoor unit's liquid line service valve and the indoor coil's metering device (fixed orifice or TXV) as illustrated in figure 6. This filter drier must be installed to ensure a clean, moisture-free system. Failure to install the filter drier will void the warranty. A replacement filter drier is available from Lennox. See Brazing Connections page 7 for special procedures on brazing filter drier connections to the liquid line.

When using a high pressure gas such as
