SATS Air Cooled Condensers are designed to rejectheat from refrigerant based cooling equipment. Anyuse beyond this is deemed to be not intended. SATSis not liable for any damage resulting from improperuse. The unit is designed to be installed outdoorsunless otherwise noted on the equipment nameplate.

1.2 Product DescriptionSATS Remote Air Cooled Condensers are designed tobe the most efficient and reliable condensers in theindustry. The unit is an air-cooled, heat rejectioncondenser with a vertical air discharge pattern.

The unit is self contained in a light weight, corrosionresistant aluminum cabinet designed for mounting toa horizontal surface. The cabinet houses the con-denser coil(s) and fan assembly(s). The electricalcontrols are in an integrally mounted, weather proofenclosure which is isolated from the rest of theequipment. There are several cabinet sizes based onthe capacity of the unit. Refer to the installationdrawing supplied with your unit for the layout anddimensions of your cabinet.

The total heat rejection in BTU/Hr will depend on theunit size which can range from 12,000 to 683,000BTU/Hr. Refer to the unit nameplate to identify themodel number of your unit. The system will consist ofa single circuit or dual circuit coil. The coil is aclosed-loop refrigerant condensing heat exchanger in

which refrigerant is continuously circulated by thepressure differential created by a compressor. Thecompressor increases refrigerant pressure to a levelsufficiently high for it to be cooled and condensed intoliquid by the effect of ambient air being drawn over thecondenser coil. SATS condensers are designed tooperate with either R22 or R407C refrigerant.

Outdoor air cooled condensers use fan cycling for lowambient head pressure control down to 0°F. Variablefan speed control is used for operation in low ambienttemperatures down to -20°F. Flooded head pressurecontrol is used with fan cycling for low ambienttemperatures down to -30°F.

NOTE

SATS condensers are strictly for non-residen-tial applications.

Operation of the condenser is controlled by a 24 VACinput signal from a system controller provided with theindoor evaporator section or, it can be configured forindependant, stand-alone operation.

CAUTION

All personnel working on or near equipmentshould be familiar with hazards associated withelectrical maintenance. Safety placards/stick-ers have been placed on the unit to call atten-tion to all personal and equipment damage haz-ard areas.

CAUTION Ensure the unit is properly phased. Improperphasing can cause severe damage to the com-pressor.

WARNING

Refrigerant (R22 or R407C) is used with thisequipment. Death or serious injury may result ifpersonnel fail to observe proper safety precau-tions. Great care must be exercised to preventcontact of liquid refrigerant or refrigerant gas, dis-charged under pressure, with any part of thebody. The extremely low temperature resultingfrom the rapid expansion of liquid refrigerant orpressurized gas can cause sudden and irrevers-ible tissue damage.

As a minimum, all personnel should wear ther-mal protective gloves and face-shield/goggleswhen working with refrigerant. Application of ex-cessive heat to any component will cause ex-treme pressure and may result in a rupture.

Exposure of refrigerant to an open flame or avery hot surface will cause a chemical reactionthat will form carbonyl chloride (hydrochloric/hy-drofluoric acid); a highly poisonous and corro-sive gas commonly referred to as PHOSGENE.In its natural state, refrigerant is a colorless, odor-less vapor with no toxic characteristics. It isheavier than air and will disperse rapidly in awell-ventilated area. In an unventilated area, itpresents a danger as a suffocant.

Always refer to the manufacturer's MSDS pro-vided with the unit.

WARNING

Avoid skin contact or inhaling fumes from anyacid formed by burn out of oil and refrigerant.Wear gas mask if area is not thoroughly venti-lated. Wear protective goggles or glasses toprotect eyes. Wear rubber gloves to protecthands. Use care to avoid spilling compressorburnout sludge. If sludge is spilled, clean areathoroughly.

WARNING

When performing soldering or de-soldering op-erations, make certain the refrigeration systemis fully recovered and purged and dry nitrogen isflowing through the system at the rate of notless than 1-2 CFM (.03 - .06 M³/minute).

CAUTION

Certain maintenance or cleaning proceduresmay call for the use and handling of chemicals,solvents, or cleansers. Always refer to themanufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) prior to using these materials. Cleanparts in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhalationof solvent fumes and prolonged exposure of skinto cleaning solvents. Wash exposed skin thor-oughly after contact with solvents.

CAUTION

Do not use cleaning solvents near open flame orexcessive heat. Wear eye protection when blow-ing solvent from parts. The pressure-wash shouldnot exceed 30 psig. Solvent solutions should bedisposed of in accordance with local and stateregulatory statutes.

SATS shipsall equipment FOB factory. SATS is not liable for anyequipment damage while in transit. SATS can assist inthe claim filing process with the freight carrier. Shouldany damage be present, notify the SATS ProductSupport Group prior to attempting any repairs. Refer tosection five of this manual for instructions.

Check the equipment against the packing slip to see ifthe shipment is complete. Report all discrepancies toappropriate authority.

A Data Package has been sent with your unit. Itcontains this manual, system drawings, applicableMSDS’s and other applicable instructions based onthe configuration and options of your unit. The datapackage has been placed in your unit in a clear plasticenvelope. These documents need to be kept with theunit for future reference.

2.2 Site Preparation

SATS Air Cooled Condensers are designed with easyservice access in mind. Install the condenser in asecure location where the unit cannot be tamperedwith and the main power disconnect switch cannot beinadvertently turned off. Allow access to the unit forroutine operation, servicing and for necessary mainte-nance. The components on outdoor condensers areaccessed through the top by removing the fan assem-bly panel. The electric box is accessed at the headerend of the unit. Locate the unit where the fan(s) are notlikely to draw dirt and debris into the coil fins. Refer tothe installation drawing provided with your unit for thedimensions.

NOTE

Working clearance requirements need to be es-tablished prior to mounting the unit. Refer to lo-cal and national electrical codes.

CAUTION The condenser must be kept level to operateproperly.

2.3 Rigging

The unit must be kept level in a vertical position. Movethe unit with a suitable device such as a forklift orattach an overhead lifting sling. The unit may be liftedwith an overhead sling attached to the top of themounting support legs. Use an appropriate liftingdevice that has the capacity to safely handle theweight of the equipment. A weight table is provided onthe installation drawing provided with your unit. If usingan overhead lifting device, utilize spreader bars thatexceed the cabinet width so as to avoid crushing thesides of the unit. Remote condensers are shipped on askid to facilitate moving prior to installation. Unitsshould always be stored in a dry location prior toinstallation.

CAUTION Take care not to damage the exposed coil finson the underside of the cabinet when movingthe unit.

2.4 Mounting/Placement

Outdoor, air cooled condensers are designed formounting to a flat surface. Condensers must not belocated in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume ex-hausts. Avoid overhead obstructions. Ensure the unitis not located above or near noise sensitive areas. Ifpossible, make use of terrain features such as treesand buildings to provide a shaded location. This willminimize the solar load on the unit. Avoid ground levelsites that are accessible to the public.

Ensure the mounting location is capable of supportingthe weight of the equipment. Refer to the installationdrawing for the non-charged system weight. Wheninstalling the unit on a roof, ensure the weight isadequately distributed to the load bearing points. Forground mounted units, install a concrete slab asshown in Figure 2. The slab should extend below thefrost line and be at least 2 inches higher than thesurrounding grade. The slab should extend at least 2”beyond the outer profile of the condenser on all sides.

walls or the pit. A stack may be used, if necessary, toextend the air discharge. The height of the extensionmust not exceed 10 feet.

2.5 Piping Connections

Split air cooled systems require a field installed copperdischarge line and copper liquid line between thecondenser and the evaporator. Dual circuit condenserswill require 2 sets of piping. Refer to the refrigerationdiagram provided with your unit for piping details.

All refrigerant piping should be installed with hightemperature soldered joints. Use standard refrigerationpractices for piping supports, leak testing, dehydrationand charging of the refrigeration circuits. The refriger-ant piping should be isolated from the building by theuse of vibration isolating supports. To prevent tubedamage when sealing openings in walls and to reducevibration transmission, use a soft flexible material topack around the tubing.

Clear all pipe connections of debris and prepare theconnections for soldering. Use only "L" or "K" graderefrigerant copper tubing. Be careful not to allowsolder/piping debris to get inside refrigerant lines.Silver solder containing a minimum of 15% silver isrecommended. Dry nitrogen should be flowing throughthe tubing while soldering at a rate of not less than 1-2CFM (.03 - .06 M3/minute).

Refrigerant lines for split systems must be sizedaccording to the piping distance between the evapora-tor and the condenser. Each valve, fitting and bend inthe refrigerant line must be considered in this calcula-tion. Refer to the following table for standard equivalentlengths, in feet, of straight pipe.

Insert vibration isolators between the unit and thebase as shown in Figure 2 to reduce the vibrationtransmitted to the mounting surface. Secure the unitwith fasteners, (field supplied by others), to preventthe system from moving during operation.

The clearance around the unit to the nearest wall orobstruction should be at least 1 times (1x) the unit’swidth to ensure adequate airflow to the coil(s) (seeFigures 3 & 4). Space multiple units at least 2 times(2x) the unit’s width when placing them side by side.Ensure hot exhaust air is not directed toward the airinlet of an adjacent unit. When placing units end toend, allow at least 4 feet of space between units.Avoid areas where heavy snow will accumulate at airinlet and outlet openings.

If the unit(s) are surrounded by three walls or, if theyare located in a pit, space them at least 2 times (2x)the unit’s width from the nearest walls (see Figure 4).The top of the unit must be equal to the height of the

2.5.1 Refrigerant Pipe Sizing

The following general guidelines may be used to assistin determining the size of the refrigerant lines betweenthe evaporator section and the remote air cooledcondenser.

Refer to the installation manual provided with the A/Csystem for tables showing the recommended dis-charge and liquid line pipe sizes for the A/C systemyou are installing. Things to consider when sizingrefrigerant piping are the varying BTU capacities ofindoor evaporators and the equivalent length of pipeneeded between the remote condenser and theevaporator. If the pressure drop is too high, the capac-ity of the compressor decreases and the powerrequired increases. An excessive refrigerant charge willbe used if the volume of the piping is too large.

NOTE

The size of the equipment pipe connections doesnot indicate the size of the refrigerant lines to beused. In cases where the pipe size doesn’t matchthe size of the connection, reducing fittings mustbe used to transition between the connectionand the pipe.

2.5.1.1 Discharge Lines

If the condenser is installed above the evaporator, thedischarge line should include a shallow P-trap at thelowest point in the piping (see Figure 5). The highestpoint in the discharge line should be above the con-denser coil. Additionally, shallow P-traps must beincluded in the discharge line for every 20 feet of verticalrise. All horizontal refrigerant lines should be pitched inthe direction of flow at least 1/4" per 10 feet. Invertedtraps should be installed at the condenser to preventrefrigerant migration to the evaporator during off cycles.

LIQUIDLINE

It’s important that the discharge line is sized with acertain degree of pressure drop. This will ensure therefrigerant flows at a velocity high enough for therefrigerant vapor to carry the oil with it to the con-denser and to prevent the oil from returning to thecompressor.

Compressor discharge pressure is always higher thancondensing pressure due to the line pressure drop.The line pressure drop also causes a change in therefrigerant saturation temperature. The discharge lineneeds to be sized so the pressure drop won’t cause acorresponding change in saturation temperatureexceeding 2°F.

Discharge piping is typically sized for a total linepressure drop of 5 psi (+/- 50%), which results in onlya 1/2% to 1% reduction in compressor capacity.Pressure drops greater than 10 psi will impair systemperformance.

Figure 5 depicts a typical piping diagram when thecondenser is located at a higher level than the indoorevaporator. In this situation, it’s especially important tosize the discharge line properly. If the discharge line issized correctly for full load operation, the velocity of

the gas may be too low during minimum load condi-tions to carry the refrigerant oil up the discharge line tothe condenser coil. Decreasing the size of the dis-charge line will increase the refrigerant velocity;however, it will also restrict the flow of refrigerant at fullload conditions creating an excessive refrigerantpressure drop.

To remedy this, dual risers may be used as shown inFigure 6. Discharge riser #1 should be sized to allowthe refrigerant gas to flow at a sufficient velocity duringminimum load conditions to carry the oil. Riser #2should be sized in such way that the inside diameterof riser #1 and #2 will together have enough combinedarea to allow for a flow velocity suitable to carry therefrigerant oil to the condenser during peak loadconditions. Use a trap between the 2 risers so riser #2will be sealed off when the trap fills with oil duringpartial load operation, thus diverting the flow of refriger-ant to riser #1.

2.5.1.2 Liquid Line

The velocity of refrigerant in the liquid line is lesscritical because liquid refrigerant and oil mix com-pletely. The main concern when sizing the liquid line isto maintain a solid liquid head of liquid refrigerantentering the expansion valve. If the refrigerant pressurefalls below it’s saturation temperature, a portion of theliquid refrigerant changes into vapor. Liquid refrigerantis sub-cooled slightly below it’s saturation tempera-ture. Sub-cooling must be sufficient to allow thenecessary pressure drop without approaching asaturation condition where gas flashing could occur.Under normal operation, the refrigerant is sufficientlycooled as it leaves the condenser to allow for normalline pressure drops. Liquid line size is selected basedon a pressure drop equivalent to 2°F sub-cooling.

NOTE

When a receiver is used with the equipment, it shouldbe below the level of the condenser. The liquid linefrom the condenser to the receiver should be liberallysized to allow the refrigerant to freely flow from thecondenser to the receiver. The refrigerant line pressuredrop must not exceed 14 psig across the condenserand the interconnecting piping to the evaporator andcondenser sections.

2.6 Utility Connections

2.6.1 Main Power And Control Wiring

Systems equipped with a remote condenser requirefield wiring between the condenser and the indoorevaporator section (see Figure 7). The condenser isprovided with main power and control terminal posi-tions for connection of the field wiring (supplied byothers). It is important to identify the options that werepurchased with the unit in order to confirm which fieldconnections are required. Refer to the electricaldrawing supplied with the unit to determine the totalnumber of interconnecting conductors required for yoursystem.

Verify that the main power supply coincides with thevoltage, phase and frequency information specified onthe system nameplate. The supply voltage measuredat the unit must be within ±10% of the voltage speci-fied on the nameplate (see Figure 8). The nameplatealso provides the full load amps (FLA), the current thatthe unit will draw under full design load, the minimumcircuit ampacity (MCA) for wire sizing, and the maxi-mum fuse or HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrig-eration) breaker size (MAX FUSE/CKT BKR) for circuitprotection. The unit's nameplate is located inside theelectrical box.

Pilot hole openings for the conduit are located in thebottom of the electric box. A label stating "MAINPOWER INPUT" is in close proximity. The main powerwires are terminated at the line side of the servicedisconnect switch located within the electric box. Aseparate equipment ground lug is provided within theelectrical box for termination of the earth ground wire.

The installer must also wire control conductors fromthe terminal board within the electric box to thesystem controller. The number of control conductorsneeded will vary depending on the type of controlmethod being used with your equipment. Refer to theelectrical drawing supplied with your unit to determinethe correct quantity of control conductors needed andfor the proper wire terminations.

2.7 System Settings and Adjustments

Refrigerant charging procedures vary depending on thetype of refrigerant used in the unit. Before charging,check the unit nameplate to confirm the refrigeranttype. If the unit operates with R22 refrigerant seesection 2.7.1. If R407C is used, see section 2.7.2.

2.7.1 R22 Refrigerant Charging Procedures

NOTE

Refrigerant charging must be performed by a jour-neyman, refrigeration mechanic or an air condi-tioning technician.

2.7.1.1 Remote Air-Cooled Split Systems

Follow the step by step instructions below to chargesystems using R22 refrigerant.

PREPARING SYSTEM FOR CHARGING

1. Once all connections have been made, pressurizethe system to 150 psig with dry nitrogen. Leaksmay be detected by observing the standingpressure.

2. After ensuring there are no leaks, relieve pressureand evacuate the system. Pull a vacuum of 50microns or less using the suction and dischargeservice ports and the service port of the receiver (ifapplicable). Hold the vacuum for at least 2 hours.Ensure no portion of system has been isolatedfrom the evacuation process (liquid, suction ordischarge lines).

CAUTION

A proper vacuum must be drawn on the refriger-ant system prior to charging. If this is not donethe refrigerant will combine with moisture in thepipes to form an acid that will eventually lead tocompressor failure.

FINE TUNING THE SYSTEM CHARGE

2.7.1.1.1 0ºF Fan Cycling and -20ºF VariableSpeed Control

The following instructions are for charging systemswith condenser fan cycling or variable speed controlusing R22 refrigerant.

1. Bleed air from hoses and "break" the systemvacuum by supplying R22 vapor. Supply R-22vapor until the pressure is raised to about 50psig. This small holding charge allows the lowpressure switch to “make” throughout the pro-cess of fine tuning the system charge

WARNING

Do not add liquid R22 refrigerant to the suctionside of the system.

2. Start the system and use the controller to lowerthe room temperature set-point 3-5°F below actualroom temperature. This will ensure the coolingmode stays on during the charging procedure.

CAUTION

An adequate heat load must be supplied to theunit to ensure a proper charge.

3. Supply R22 vapor to the suction port until theliquid line sight glass is cleared of all bubbles.

4. After the unit has stabilized, the liquid line sightglass should be clear and the discharge pressureshould be a minimum of 200 psig. A superheatreading should be taken near the feeler bulb fromthe thermal expansion valve, with the temperature-measuring device being well insulated. The idealsuperheat temperature is 12-15°F. Maximumallowable superheat temperature is 20°F.

5. A sub-cooling reading should be taken on theoutput side of the condenser, with the temperaturemeasuring device being well insulated. The sub-cooling temperature should be approximately 10-20ºF.

NOTE

Under cold climate conditions it is recommendedto do the following:

6. Block off the intake air to the condenser coil withcardboard until a constant discharge pressure(225-280 psig) can be obtained. This will lower thepossibility of overcharging and avoid the occa-sional bubbles that may appear in the sight glassduring fan cycling. (For units with fan cycling only.)

CAUTION

When charging is complete, remove theblockage to the air intake of the condenser coil.

7. Fill out applicable sections of Warranty Registra-tion and Start-Up Checklist.

2.7.1.1.2 -30ºF Flooded Head Pressure Control

The following instructions are for charging systems withflooded head pressure control using R22 refrigerant.

1. Bleed air from hoses and "break" the systemvacuum by supplying R22 liquid to the service valveof the receiver until the receiver is full. Then supplyR22 vapor to the suction port until the pressure israised to about 50 psig (low pressure switchmakes).

2. Start the system and use the controller to lowerthe temperature set-point 3-5°F below roomtemperature. This will ensure cooling remains onduring charging procedure.

CAUTION

An adequate heat load must be supplied to theunit to ensure a proper charge.

3. After starting the system, immediately supplyR22 vapor to the suction port until the liquid linesight glass has cleared of all bubbles.

4. Raise the discharge pressure to 300-325 psig andhold it constant by blocking the air intake of thecondenser.

5. Once the discharge pressure has stabilized for 5 to10 minutes, additional refrigerant R22 vapor mustbe added to the suction port until the "float ball" inthe level indicator of the receiver begins to float.

CAUTION Remove the blockage to the air intake of thecondenser.

6. Take a superheat temperature reading near thefeeler bulb from the thermal expansion valve. Theideal superheat temperature is 12-15°F. Maximumallowable superheat temperature is 20°F.

7. Fill out applicable sections of the WarrantyRegistration and Start-Up Checklist.

2.7.2 R407C Refrigerant Charging ProceduresR407C is a blended refrigerant recognized for beingsafer for the environment. R407C refrigerant containsno chlorine, the component in HCFC’s that destroythe earth’s ozone layer. However, the same careshould be taken to prevent leakage because R407Ccan contribute to the greenhouse effect if released.

Refrigerants that are multi-component blends havecomponent parts with different volatilities that result ina change in composition and saturation temperatureas evaporation and condensation occur. Typically, thecomposition of R407C vapor is different than that ofR407C liquid within a contained system. The compo-sition of liquid R407C refrigerant remains relativelyconstant, however, the refrigerant vapor tends toseparate into its component parts even when circulat-ing.

When charging a system using a blended refrigerant,it is essential that the composition of the refrigerant ismaintained. To ensure correct composition, introduceR407C into the system in liquid form rather than vaporform. Cylinders which are not provided with dip tubesshould be inverted to allow only liquid refrigerant tocharge the system. Keeping the temperature of thecylinder below 85°F will help to maintain the correctrefrigerant composition while the cylinder is emptied.

CAUTION POE oil is used in systems with R407Crefrigerant. POE oil quickly absorbs moisturewhen exposed to air. High POE oil moisturelevels react with refrigerant to form acid, whichresults in system contamination. Keep theentire system sealed as much as possibleand minimize exposure of the POE oil tooutside air. Familiarize yourself with thecharging procedures discussed in section2.7.1 of this manual. Instead of adding R22vapor to the suction port as described under“Preparing System For Charging”, the initialcharge will be performed by introducingR407C liquid to the discharge side of thecompressor.

PREPARING SYSTEM FOR CHARGING

1. With all the system piping connections made,perform a dry nitrogen leak detection test on thesystem. Using dry nitrogen only, pressurize thesystem to 150 psig. Since there is no refrigerantin the system to detect, leaks may be detectedby observing the standing pressure.

2. After ensuring there are no leaks, evacuate thesystem to 50 microns and hold the vacuum for 2hours.

3. Break the vacuum by supplying R407C liquid tothe discharge port near the compressor until thepressure is raised to about 50 psig. This smallholding charge allows the low pressure switch to“make” through the process of fine tuning thesystem charge.

FINE TUNING THE SYSTEM CHARGE

4. Disconnect the refrigerant cylinder from thedischarge side of the compressor and connect itto the suction side.

5. Start the system and use the controller to lowerthe room temperature setpoint 3-5°F below actualroom temperature, ensuring cooling remains onas the unit is charged.

6. Allow the discharge pressure to rise to 225-280psig and hold it constant. On cool days it may benecessary to restrict the airflow across thecondenser coil to raise the pressure.

7. Slowly meter R407C liquid refrigerant through thesuction side while watching the sight glass to clearof bubbles.

CAUTION

Add liquid refrigerant slowly to prevent the refrigerantoil from “washing out” of the compressor.

8. Take a superheat temperature reading near thefeeler bulb from the thermal expansion valve, withthe temperature measuring device being wellinsulated. The ideal superheat temperature is 12-15°F. Maximum allowable superheat temperatureis 20°F.

9. While monitoring the sight glass, take a sub-cooling temperature reading on the output side ofthe condenser. The sub-cooling temperatureshould be 10-20°F.

10. If necessary, add liquid refrigerant to maintainadequate sub-cooling temperature.

2.7.2.1 R407C Flooded Head Pressure Control

In units with R407C refrigerant using flooded headpressure control, a receiver is provided to store therefrigerant during the time the condenser is not usingthe extra refrigerant charge. Once a clear sight glasshas been achieved, additional refrigerant must beadded to the receiver.

A level indicator is located on the side of the receiverto assist the service technician in charging the airconditioning system. The proper charge can bedetermined by viewing the position of the “float ball”while the unit is running. If the “float ball” is positionedat the bottom of the sight indicator, additional refriger-ant charge is needed. When the “float ball” reachesthe top of the indicator, the unit is fully charged.

2.7.3 Head Pressure Controls

2.7.3.1 Condenser Fan Cycling

Used for outdoor installations where ambient condenser air inlet temperatures are 0°F or higher, a condenser fancycling switch monitors refrigerant discharge pressure and turns on the condenser fan as required to maintainallowable condenser pressures. This is a high-pressure differential control switch with SPST contacts and anautomatic reset. The switch activates the condenser fan contactor to maintain condensing temperature when thedischarge pressure rises to 275 psig.

Factory setting: Contacts close on a pressure rise to 275 psig and open at 210 psig. Setpoint range is 170 to 375psig. Differential is non-adjustable and set at 70 psi.

On larger units with multiple fans, each fan is controlled with its own fan cycling switch. Fans are staged tooperate sequentially as discharge pressure rises. The primary fan, closest to the header, turns on 1st as describedabove. If pressure continues to rise, adjacent fan(s) are set to turn on sequentially in 10 psig increments with thefan located furthest from the header turning on last. Conversely, as discharge pressure drops, the fans drop outsequentially in reverse order. See 2.7.3.1.1 for the fan cycling pressure control settings.

Dual Circuit condensers require a fan cycling pressure control switch for each refrigeration circuit. The two controlswitches are adjusted to the same pressure setpoint and wired in parallel to operate a single fan. If either controlswitch senses a rise in pressure, the fan will turn on. On dual circuit units with multiple fans, operation of eachadditional fan requires two pressure control switches, (one for each refrigeration circuit). Each set of paralleledswitches will be set to the same pressure such that each adjacent fan begins operating sequentially in 10 psigincrements as the pressure rises.

2.7.3.2 Variable Condenser Fan SpeedUsed for outdoor installations where ambient temperatures may fall to -20°F, a variable speed condenser fanmotor control is used to maintain head pressure. The fan speed control is a continual modulation of the motor’sspeed. The condenser fan speed controller monitors the refrigerant discharge pressure. As discharge pressurerises, the fan speed increases. The condenser fan speed varies as required to maintain allowable condenserpressures. The fan speed controller is set to maintain condensing pressure at 275 psig and requires no adjust-ment.

When used on systems with multiple condenser fans, variable fan speed control is used only on the primary fanwhich is closest to the header. Additional fans use pressure fan cycling control, as described in Section 2.7.3.1,to assist the primary fan to maintain proper head pressure.

2.7.3.3 Flooded Head Pressure Control

Used for outdoor installations where ambient con-denser air inlet temperatures may fall to -30°F, floodedhead pressure control is designed to maintain headpressure during the low ambient temperature condi-tions. A head pressure control valve and a receiver isused in the refrigeration circuit to back up liquidrefrigerant into the condenser coil. The head pressurecontrol valve is a 3-way modulating valve controlled bythe discharge pressure (see Figure 9). The headpressure control valve and the receiver are typicallylocated within the indoor evaporator unit.

When the A/C unit begins to operate, the dischargepressure rises. When the pressure reaches 275 psig,the condenser fan is cycled on as described inSection 2.7.3.1. If multiple fans are used, they willoperate by pressure fan cycling in 10 psig increments.

When ambient temperature drops, the dischargepressure drops also. When the discharge pressuredrops to approximately 180 psig, the head pressurecontrol valve diverts discharge gas away from thecondenser to the receiver. Liquid flow from the con-denser is restricted, causing liquid to back up in thecondenser.

Flooding the condenser reduces the area available forcondensing. The desired result is to increase thepressure into the condenser, maintaining a minimumdischarge pressure during low ambient operation thusensuring proper condensing temperature. The headpressure control valve requires no adjustment.

This method of controlling head pressure allows thecondenser fan to run continuously. While the fan isrunning, the flooded head pressure control valvemodulates the amount of discharge gas entering thereceiver. As the pressure increases, the valve divertsmore discharge gas to the condenser, allowing moreliquid to flow from the condenser to the receiver.

When using this method of head pressure regulationthere must be enough refrigerant in the system toensure adequate charge at the lowest expectedambient temperature in which the system will beoperating. A receiver is used to store the extra refriger-ant when the condenser is not using it.

4. Ensure the fan(s) are rotating correctly and freelywithout any unusual noise.

3.3 Operational Description

1. When used with a SATS indoor evaporator unit,the A/C system compressor starts, then thecondenser fan(s) start. Operation of the condenserfans is dependant on the head pressure controlmethod used. See the descriptions for headpressure controls in Section 2.7.3.

2. Remote air cooled condensers may be configuredfor stand alone opereation. In this case the fansbegin operating when power is turned on.

3. Refrigerant flowing from the evaporator in the formof a low pressure gas, enters the compressorwhere it is compressed into a high temperature,high pressure gas.

4. The refrigerant then flows to the condenser coil.The high temperature, high-pressure gas from thecompressor is cooled by the flow of air through thecondenser coil and is condensed into a high-pressure liquid.

5. For cold weather applications using flooded headpressure control, the low temperature high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows to a receiver. Thereceiver acts as a storage tank for the liquidrefrigerant that is not in circulation.

6. The refrigerant flows through a liquid sight glass.This device indicates the presence of air, moistureand state of the refrigerant in the system.

7. The low temperature high pressure liquid refriger-ant then flows to the evaporator where it removesheat and evaporates into a gas.

8. The refrigerant gas is then drawn back to thecompressor and the cycle is repeated.

CAUTION

All maintenance and/or repairs must beperformed by a journeyman, refrigerationmechanic or an air conditioning technician.

WARNING

Turn off power to the unit at the main power dis-connect switch unless you are performing teststhat require power. To prevent personal injury,stay clear of rotating components because au-tomatic controls may start them unexpectedly.With power and controls energized, the unit couldbegin operating automatically at any time.

Hazardous voltage will still be present even withthe unit turned off at the controller. To isolate theunit for maintenance, always turn off power atthe main power disconnect switch prior to per-forming any service or repairs.

This unit employs high voltage equipment withrotating components. Exercise extreme care toavoid accidents and ensure proper operation.

4.1.1 General

Maintenance access to the condenser is through theremovable fan assembly panel on top of the unit.Examine the areas around the air inlet and outlet grills,fans, motors and coils. Use a vacuum cleaner with asoft bristle brush to clean dirt from components.

Clean the coil of all debris that will inhibit airflow. Thiscan be done with a vacuum cleaner, soft brush andcompressed air, or with a commercial coil cleaner.Check for bent or damaged coil fins and repair asnecessary. On outdoor units do not permit snow toaccumulate on or around the unit in the winter. Checkall refrigerant lines and capillaries for vibration isolationand support as necessary. Check all refrigerant linesfor signs of leaks.

• Examine all wiring for signs of chafing, looseconnections or other obvious damage. (Quarterly)

• Examine brackets, motor mounts and hardware forloose or missing parts or other damage. (Quarterly)

• Clean accumulations of dust and dirt from allinterior and exterior surfaces. (Quarterly)

NOTE

Fan motors have permanently sealed bearings,therefore, no lubrication is required.

4.3 Field Service

It may be necessary to perform repairs on the refrig-eration system. If field repairs are necessary, thefollowing procedures apply:

NOTE

Do not attempt to make repairs without theproper tools.

4.3.1 Leak Detection

Several methods can be used to detect a leak in therefrigeration system. The most modern and easiestmethod is to use an electronic leak detector. Followthe manufacturer’s directions and any leak can bequickly located. A second method is to use soapbubbles. Apply a solution of soapy water with a brushor sponge to the joints and connections in the refriger-ant lines. A leak in the lines will cause bubbles toform.

NOTE

Halogen leak detectors are ineffective withR407C refrigerant because unlike R22 refriger-ant, R407C does not contain chlorine.

4.3.2 Leak Repair

When a leak is located, properly reclaim the remainingrefrigerant charge before attempting repairs. Adjacentpiping must be thoroughly cleaned by removing all

paint, dirt and oily film. Use wire brush, sandcloth orsandpaper and wipe the area with clean, dry cloths.Protect nearby parts from heat damage by wrappingwith water-soaked cloths

4.3.3 Refrigerant Piping

When replacing components within the cabinet, thefollowing consumable materials are recommended:Use Silfos alloy for copper-to-copper (piping dischargeor suction line repairs). Silver solder (Stay-Silv #45)and flux are to be used on copper-to-brass or copper-to-steel repairs. For liquid line repairs at the drier,strainer, sight glass, or expansion valve, use a 95% tinto 5% antimony solder with flux.

When component replacement is complete, remove alltraces of flux. After any repair, pressure check thesystem, checking for leaks prior to recharging thesystem.

4.3.4 Electrical System

All electrical connections should be checked to besure that they are tight and properly made. Check allswitches, contactors and wiring. The contactor shouldbe examined and replaced if contacts are worn or pit-ted.
