Compressors

The scroll compressor used in this product is specifically designed to operate with R-410A Refrigerant and cannot be interchanged.

This system uses R-410A Refrigerant which operates at higher pressures than R-22. No other refrigerant may be used in this system.

The compressor also uses a polyolester (POE oil), Mobil 3MA POE. This oil is extremely hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oil can absorb 15 times as much water as other oils designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.

Do not leave the system open to the atmosphere. Unit damage could occur due to moisture being absorbed by the POE oil in the system. This type of oil is highly susceptible to moisture absorption

POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.

Exposure, even if immediately cleaned up, may cause embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year or more. When performing any service that may risk exposure of compressor oil to the roof, take precautions to protect roofing.

Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not limited to, compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant leaks, replacing refrigerant components such as filter drier, pressure switch, metering device or coil.

Units are shipped with compressor mountings which are factory-adjusted and ready for operation.

Do not loosen compressor mounting bolts.

Phasing

Three-phase, scroll compressors operate in only one direction. If the scroll is drawing low amperage, has similar suction and discharge pressures, or is producing a high noise level, the scroll is misphased. Change the incoming line connection phasing to obtain the proper rotation.

Scroll compressors require proper rotation to operate properly. Failure to check and correct rotation may result in property damage.

Gas Heat

These single or two stage gas-fired heaters have aluminized- steel tubular heat exchangers with spark to pilot ignition.

Gas Piping

Proper sizing of gas piping depends on the cubic feet per hour of gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas and the length of run. National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 should be followed in all cases unless superseded by local codes or gas company requirements. Refer to Tables 7 and 8.

The heating value of the gas may differ with locality. The value should be checked with the local gas utility.

NOTE: There may be a local gas utility requirement specifying a minimum diameter for gas piping. All units require a 1/2 inch pipe connection at the gas valve.

Gas Connection

The gas supply line can be routed through the hole located on the left side of the unit. Refer to Figure 3 to locate these access openings. Typical supply piping arrangements are shown in Figure 12.

Gas piping requirements:

1.A drip leg and a ground joint union must be installed in the gas piping.

2.When required by local codes, a manual shut-off valve may have to be installed outside of the unit.

3.Use wrought iron or steel pipe for all gas lines. Pipe dope should be applied sparingly to male threads only.

R-410A specifications

York R-410A is a widely recognized and highly efficient refrigerant used in modern air conditioning systems. Developed as an environmentally friendly alternative to R-22, R-410A has gained popularity in the HVAC industry due to its numerous advantageous features and characteristics.

One of the main features of York R-410A is its ability to provide superior cooling performance. This refrigerant operates efficiently at both high and low temperatures, allowing systems using it to maintain optimal indoor climates even during extreme weather conditions. Its high energy efficiency ratio (EER) and seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) ratings make it a preferred choice for energy-conscious consumers, resulting in lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.

Technologically, York R-410A systems feature advanced compressor designs that enhance their overall reliability and performance. These compressors are often equipped with variable-speed technology, enabling them to adjust their output to match the cooling demands of the space. This not only improves comfort levels but also leads to efficient energy consumption, reducing wear and tear on the equipment over time.

Another significant characteristic of York R-410A is its non-ozone-depleting properties. Unlike its predecessor R-22, which is being phased out due to its damaging effects on the ozone layer, R-410A is designed to minimize environmental impact. Its lower global warming potential (GWP) further underscores its role in promoting sustainability within the HVAC sector.

Furthermore, York R-410A systems are engineered with enhanced safety features. The refrigerant is non-toxic and non-flammable, which makes it safer for use in both residential and commercial applications. Additionally, its high thermal stability reduces the risk of breakdown or leakage, contributing to longer system lifespans and lower maintenance costs.

In conclusion, York R-410A stands out as a cutting-edge refrigerant that combines efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility. With its advanced technologies and remarkable characteristics, it meets the demands of modern air conditioning requirements while paving the way for a sustainable future in HVAC systems. Adopting York R-410A not only benefits individual users through improved comfort and lower energy bills but also plays a vital role in protecting our planet's ozone layer and mitigating climate change.
