Check carefully for concealed damage. Any shortage or damages should be reported to the delivering carrier. Damaged material becomes the delivering carrier’s responsibility, and should not be returned to Turbo air unless prior approval is given. Check the serial tag information with invoice. Report any discrepancies to Turbo air sales representatives.
Locating Unit Cooler. Minimum space required for Unit Cooler. Figure 1. One evaporator Figure 2. Two or more evaporators H=Space Required, Unit Cooler Height Recommended location methods of Unit Cooler. 1. Avoid placing Unit Cooler close to doors. Install like Figure 3 or Figure 4. 2.

stream. When installed, there should cleaning without the use of tools. When lagging 12”clearance from bottom of the unit. Always or bolting unit flush to the ceilings, seal the joint avoid placement of unit coolers directly above between the top and the ceiling with an NSF listed doors and door openings.
The system as supplied by Turbo air was thoroughly cleaned and dehydrated at the factory. Foreign matter may enter the system by way of the evaporator to condensing unit piping. Therefore, care must be used during installation of the piping to prevent entrance of foreign matter.

At this time, fan power is supplied later than preventing over heating. compressor power by fan delay thermostat. If it There are two kinds defrost timers. Turbo air uses does not, a partial defrost results and the residual bimetal method.
Defrost Timer Setting Turbo air uses 8145-20B type timer made by minutes beyond estimated temperature Paragon company. termination time. Air defrost termination time is Timer should be set correctly. Determine the usually 30 to 50 minutes. The colder the room, the number of defrosts per day and the best time of longer the fail-safe time required.
Mounting Condensing Unit. Mounting base should be concrete or steel pads to avoid vibration or shifting. sufficient to support between 2 to 5 times the The anchor bolts should be used to fix the unit weight of condensing unit. and tightened with spring washer and nuts. Condensing units must be mounted using Spring Mounted Compressor.

Evaporator Superheat. Evaporator superheat is generated from the suction line temperature at the expansion valve compressor suction line reducing system bulb. Obtain pressure at a Schrader fitting in the efficiency. evaporator suction connection area, near the Normally 6 to 12 is acceptable on most expansion valve bulb, and convert to temperature refrigeration systems.

If the refrigerant system is clean and dry. Weigh the refrigerant must be added to the system through the suction drum before charging so an accurate record can side of the compressor, charge in vapor form only.
