    2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY Central cooling and heating equipment is only as efficient as the duct system that carries the cooled or heated air. To maintain efficiency, comfort and good indoor air quality, it is important to have the proper balance between the air being supplied to each room and the air returning to the cooling and heating equipment.

  • Page 8: Importance Of Proper Indoor/Outdoor Match-Ups

    2.6 IMPORTANCE OF PROPER INDOOR/OUTDOOR MATCH-UPS To assure many years of reliable operation and optimum customer comfort and to assure the outdoor unit warranty remains valid, an air-handler model should be selected that is properly matched to the outdoor unit. This is especially critical for heat pump systems to assure proper refrigerant charge balance between the cooling and heating modes.

  • Page 9: Quick Reference Guide For R-410A

    Pressure: The pressure of R-410A is approximately 60% (1.6 times) greater than R-22. Recovery and recycle equipment, pumps, hoses, and the like must have design pressure ratings appropriate for R-410A. Manifold sets need to range up to 800 psig high-side and 250 psig low-side with a 550 psig low-side retard. Hoses need to have a service pressure rating of 800 psig.

    3.6 DUCTWORK Field ductwork must comply with the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 90A, NFPA 90B and any applicable local ordinance. WARNING Do not, under any circumstances, connect return ductwork to any other heat producing device such as fireplace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use of such devices may result in fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, explo- sion, personal injury or property damage.

  • Page 14: Orifice Size: (-)F1P*****P Models

    3.8 ORIFICE SIZE: (-)F1P*****P MODELS (-)F1P*****P air-handlers are equipped with a fixed orifice (piston) sized for a typical 13 SEER R-410A outdoor unit. The piston must be changed if the outdoor unit has a higher or lower efficiency or if the system is using R-22 as a refrigerant. The chart below shows recommended orifice sizes for various efficiencies for R-410A and R-22.

  • Page 15: Leak Testing

    Protect the TXV, copper to aluminum suction header joint, and outdoor unit service valves from overheating using a wet rag or heat sink compound. Leave the wet rag or heat sink material in place until the joint and surrounding tubing cools down to a safe temperature.

    FIGURE 7 CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP ST-A1244-01-01 • The auxiliary drain line should be run to a place where it will be noticeable if it becomes operational. The building occupant should be warned that a problem exists if water should begin running from the auxiliary drain line. An auxiliary drain shut-off switch can be installed in lieu of an auxiliary drain line.

  • Page 17: Grounding

    The PSC indoor blower motor in the (-)F1P air-handlers must also be configured for 208 volt applications to assure full air-flow delivery at the reduced voltage. This step is not required on (-)F1T air-handlers since they have constant torque ECM motors. To con- figure the PSC motor in (-)F1P air-handlers for 208 volt applications, unplug the PURPLE motor lead connected to the insulated terminal on the end of the ORANGE wire coming from the transformer.

    13kW heater kits and higher, a 2-stage heat thermostat can be used to energize the W2 terminal on the blower control board upon a call for a 2nd stage of heat which will in turn will energize the 2nd stage heater elements. The heater kit will cycle between the 1st and 2nd stages of heat at the direction of the thermostat.

  • Page 26: Checking Indoor Air-Flow

    4.6 CHECKING INDOOR AIR-FLOW 4.6.1 ESTIMATING CFM USING EXTERNAL STATIC PRESSURE A common method of checking indoor is to measure the external static pressure that the air-handler is working against and then referring to the air-flow data in Section 3.13.3. Measuring external static pressure to a high degree of precision in the field is challeng- ing, so keep in mind that the CFM determined by this method is an estimate, but is accu- rate enough for all practical purposes.

  • Page 33: Small Cabinet Blower Assembly Removal Procedure

    Removal of the blower assembly in this style of air-handler is not as straightforward as with more conventional residential air-handlers due to its compact design. Therefore, Sections 7.5.1 – 7.5.3 are provided to aid the technician in that process. Removal of the blower assembly on the larger cabinet requires a partial disassembly of the cabi- net, so the procedure in Section 7.5.3 may be preferable if only the motor needs to be removed for servicing or replacement.
