condensing units have been designed for outdoor use only. They are factory assembled, wired, charged, and run-tested. Codes and Ordinances CF Series units have been tested and certified, by ETL, in accordance with UL Safety Standard 1995/CSA C22.2 No. 236. System should be sized in accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers Handbook. Installation of CF Series units must conform to the ICC standards of the International Mechanical Code, the International Building Code, and local building, plumbing and electrical codes. All appliances must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1. Receiving Unit When received, the unit should be checked for damage that might have occurred in transit. If damage is found it should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A request for inspection by carrier’s agent should be made in writing at once. Nameplate should be checked to ensure the correct model sizes and voltages have been received to match the job requirements. If repairs must be made to damaged goods, then the factory should be notified before any repair action is taken in order to protect the warranty. Certain equipment alteration, repair, and manipulation of equipment without the manufacturer’s consent may void the product warranty. Contact AAON Warranty Department for assistance with handling damaged goods, repairs, and freight claims: (903) 236-4403. NOTE: Upon receipt check shipment for items that ship loose. Consult order and shipment documentation to identify potential loose-shipped items. Loose-shipped items may have been placed inside the unit cabinet SHARP EDGES Coils and sheet metal surfaces present sharp edges and care must be taken when working with equipment. WARNING QUALIFIED INSTALLER Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician. WARNING Failure to observe the following instructions will result in premature failure of your system and possible voiding of the warranty. WARNING

secure all doors with locks or nuts and bolts to prevent unauthorized access. The warranty card must be completed in full and returned to AAON not more than 3 months after the unit is delivered. Storage If installation will not occur immediately following delivery, store equipment in a dry protected area away from construction traffic and in the proper orientation as marked on the packaging with all internal packaging in place. Secure all loose-shipped items. Failure to observe the following instructions will result in premature failure of your system, and possible voiding of the warranty. Never turn off the main power supply to the unit, except for complete shutdown. When power is cut off from the unit, any compressors using crankcase heaters cannot prevent refrigerant migration. This means the compressor will cool down, and liquid refrigerant may accumulate in the compressor. The compressor is designed to pump refrigerant gas and damage may occur if liquid enters the compressor when power is restored. Before unit operation, the main power switch must be turned on for at least twenty-four hours for units with compressor crankcase heaters. This will give the crankcase heater time to clear any liquid accumulation out of the compressor before it is required to run. Always control the system from the control panel, never at the main power supply (except for emergency or for complete shutdown of the system). CLEAN AIR ACT The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional ven ting of refrigerant as of July 1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling, or reclaiming must be followed. CAUTION CRANKCASE HEATER OPERATION Units are equipped with compressor crankcase heaters, which should be energized at least 24 hours prior to cooling operation, to clear any liquid refrigerant from the compressors. CAUTION 3-PHASE ROTATION Rotation must be checked on all MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of three phase units. All motors, to include and not be limited to pump motors and condenser fan motors, should all be checked by a qualified service technician at startup and any wiring alteration should only be made at the unit power connection. CAUTION

minimum of 5 minutes and off for a minimum of 5 minutes. The cycle rate must be no more than 6 starts per hour. The variable capacity compressors must be on a minimum of 3 minutes and off for a minimum of 3 minutes. The cycle rate must be no more than 6 starts per hour. The compressor life will be seriously shortened by reduced lubrication, and the pumping of excessive amounts of liquid oil and liquid refrigerant. Wiring Diagrams A complete set of unit specific wiring diagram in point-to-point form is laminated in plastic and located inside the control compartment door. General Maintenance When the initial startup is made, and on a periodic schedule during operation, it is necessary to perform routine service checks on the performance of the condensing unit. This includes reading and recording suction pressures and checking for normal sub- cooling and superheat. COMPRESSOR ROTATION Scroll compressors are directional and will be damaged by operation in the wrong direction. Low pressure switches on compressors have been disconnected after factory testing. Rotation should be checked by a qualified service technician at startup using suction and discharge pressure gauges and any wiring alteration should only be made at the unit power connection. COMPRESSOR CYCLING 5 MINUTE MINIMUM OFF TIME To prevent motor overheating compressors must cycle off for a minimum of 5 minutes. 5 MINUTE MINIMUM ON TIME To maintain the proper oil level compressors must cycle on for a minimum of 5 minutes. The cycle rate must not exceed 6 starts per hour. WARNING CAUTION

CF Series condensing unit sizes 2-25 & 30 tons can be lifted using a forklift. 2-7 ton units must have forks at least 48” in length. 9-25 & 30 ton units must have forks 72” in length, or the forks must have 72” fork extensions. Standard units can be lifted from all sides except the condenser coil side. CF Series condensing unit sizes 26 & 31-70 tons cannot be lifted using a forklift. They can be lifted as shown in Figure 3. Forks must be perpendicular to the unit and they must be in far enough that the back of the forks are no more than 6” away from the edge of the unit. Figure 1 - Forklifting a CF Series A Cabinet Figure 2 - Forklifting a CF Series B and C Cabinet FORKLIFTING 2-7 TON UNITS Forks or Fork Extensions must be at least 48” in length. CAUTION FORKLIFTING 9-25 & 30 TON UNITS Forks or Fork Extensions must be at least 72” in length. CAUTION

If cables or chains are used to hoist the unit they must be the same length. Minimum cable length is 99” for CF Series 9-70 ton units. CF Series 2-7 ton units do not include factory installed lifting lugs and should be lifted by forklift only. Care should be taken to prevent damage to the cabinet, coils, and condenser fans. Before lifting unit, be sure that all shipping material has been removed from unit. Secure hooks and cables at all lifting points / lugs provided on the unit. Figure 3 – Lifting Details and Orientation of a CF Series 9-70 ton Condensing Unit Locating the Unit The CF Series condenser and condensing unit is designed for outdoor applications and mounting at ground level or on a rooftop. It must be placed on a level and solid foundation that has been prepared to support its weight. When installed at ground level, a one-piece concrete slab should be used with footings that extend below the frost line. Also with ground level installation, care must be taken to protect the coil fins from damage due to vandalism or other causes. The first clearance table below gives the clearance values for proper unit operation. The second clearance table gives the clearance necessary for removing the coil without disassembling a large part of the condensing unit. For ease of removing the condenser coil, use the second table clearances for the right hand side of the unit. Table 1 –Clearances for Proper Operation Location Unit Size 2-7 tons 9-70 tons Front - (Controls Side) Unobstructed 36” Left Side 6” 30” Right Side 6” 36” Top 3” Unobstructed Back 18” 6” Table 2 – Clearances for Coil Pull Unit Size Right Hand Side 2-7 tons 42” 9-15 tons 42” 16-25 & 30 tons 54” 26 & 31-70 tons 66” Figure 4 - Orientation of Series 2-7 ton Condensing Unit

intakes and other structures must be carefully selected. Airflow to and from the condenser or condensing unit must not be restricted to prevent a decrease in performance and efficiency. The installation position for 9-70 ton units must provide at least 30” of left and right side clearance for proper airflow to the condenser coils. When units are mounted adjacent to each other, the minimum right and left side clearance required between the units is 60” or 5 feet. Similarly, when 2-7 ton units are mounted adjacent to each other, the minimum clearance required between the back side of the units is 36” or 3 feet. Units should not be installed in an enclosure or pit that is deeper than the height of the unit. When recessed installation is necessary, the clearance to maintain proper airflow is at least 5 feet (3 feet for 2-7tons). CF Series condensers and condensing units that have a vertical air discharge must have no obstruction above the equipment. Do not place the unit under an overhang. CF Series condensers and condensing units that have a horizontal discharge must have no obstruction in front of the unit. For proper unit operation, the immediate area around condenser must remain free of debris that may be drawn in and obstruct airflow in the condensing section. Consideration must be given to obstruction caused by snow accumulation when placing the unit. Mounting Isolation For roof mounted applications or anytime vibration transmission is a factor, vibration isolators may be used. Access Doors Access doors are provided to the compressor and electrical compartment. Low Ambient Operation During low ambient temperatures, the vapor refrigerant will migrate to the cold part of the system and condense into liquid. All CF Series compressors are provided with factory installed crankcase heaters to help prevent liquid refrigerant from slugging the compressors during startup in low ambient conditions. The condenser or condensing unit must have continuous power 24 hours prior to startup. This ensures the compressor will receive sufficient refrigerant vapor at startup. Standard units can operate down to 55°F ambient temperature. AAON head pressure control units can operate down to 35°F ambient temperature. Three different head pressure control options available are adjustable fan cycling, ECM condenser fan, or VFD controlled condenser fans. See detailed information following. The AAON low ambient (condenser flood- back) system is used to operate a refrigerant PVC PIPING PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) are vulnerable to attack by certain chemicals. Polyolester (POE) oils used with R-410A and other refrigerants, even in trace amounts, in a PVC or CPVC piping system will result in stress cracking of the piping and fittings and complete piping system failure. CAUTION

See detailed information following. Fan Cycling Low Ambient Adjustable fan cycling is a low ambient head pressure control option that cycles the condenser fans to maintain refrigerant circuit head pressures at acceptable levels during cooling operation. The head pressure set point (100-470 psi) and pressure differential (35-200 psi) can be field adjusted using a flathead screwdriver. For example, if the head pressure is set to 300psi, and the differential is set to 100psi, then fans will cut in at 300psi and cut out at 200psi. Fan cycling and variable speed condenser fan head pressure control options allow mechanical cooling with ambient temperatures down to 35°F. Figure 5 - Adjustable Fan Cycling Switch Variable Speed Low Ambient Variable speed condenser fan head pressure control is a low ambient head pressure control option that sends a variable signal in relation to the refrigerant circuit head pressure of the system to an electronically commutated motor or VFD. The motor either speeds up or slows down air flow accordingly in order to maintain constant head pressure. Fan cycling and variable speed condenser fan head pressure control options allow mechanical cooling with ambient temperatures down to 35°F. Flooded Condenser Low Ambient Flooded condenser low ambient control maintains normal head pressure during periods of low ambient. When the ambient temperature drops, the condensing temperature and therefore pressure drops. Without ambient control, the system would shut down on low discharge pressure. The flooded condenser method of low ambient control fills the condenser coil with liquid refrigerant, decreasing the heat transfer capacity of the coil, which allows the coil to operate at an acceptable discharge pressure. The condenser coil will not be flooded during summer ambient temperatures, so a receiver is included to store the additional liquid refrigerant required to flood the condenser coil in low ambient. The low ambient system maintains normal head pressure during periods of low ambient by restricting liquid flow from the condenser to the receiver, and at the same time bypassing hot gas around the condenser to the inlet of the receiver. This reduces liquid refrigerant flow from the condenser, reducing its effective surface area, which in turn increases the condensing pressure. At the same time the bypassed hot gas raises liquid pressure in the receiver, allowing the system to operate properly. CF Series condensers and condensing units use an LAC valve for low ambient operation. LAC Valve The Low Ambient Control (LAC) valve is a non-adjustable three way valve that modulates to maintain receiver pressure. As the receiver pressure drops below the valve setting (295 psig for R-410A), the valve modulates to bypass discharge gas around the condenser. The discharge gas warms the liquid in the receiver and raises the pressure to the valve setting. The following schematic shows an example system using the LAC valve.

Condenser Flooding In order to maintain head pressure in the refrigeration system, liquid refrigerant is kept in the condenser coil to reduce condenser coil surface. The following chart shows the percentage that a condenser coil must be flooded in order to function properly at the given ambient temperature. During higher ambient temperatures the entire condenser coil is required to condense refrigerant. During these higher ambient temperatures, a receiver tank is used to contain the refrigerant that was required to flood the condenser during low ambient operation. The receiver is factory-sized to contain all of the flooded volume. Without a receiver there would be high head pressures during higher ambient conditions.

piping diagrams.) General Piping from the condensing unit to the air handler is the responsibility of the installing contractor. Use only clean type “ACR” copper tubing that has been joined with high temperature brazing alloy. The pipe or line sizes must be selected to meet the actual installation conditions and NOT simply based on the connection sizes at the condensing unit or air handler. All CF Series condensing units are provided with in-line shutoff valves on both the liquid and suction lines. These should remain closed until the system is ready for start-up after installation. Piping should conform to generally accepted practices and codes. Care must be taken not to cross the circuits on multiple circuit systems. Upon completion of piping connection, the interconnecting piping and air handler MUST BE evacuated to 500 microns or less; leak checked and charged with refrigerant. Determining Refrigerant Line Size The piping between the condenser and low side must ensure: 1. Minimum pressure drop, and 2. Continuous oil return, and 3. Prevention of liquid refrigerant slugging, or carryover Minimizing the refrigerant line size is favorable from an economic perspective, reducing installation costs, and reducing the potential for leakage. However, as pipe diameters decrease, pressure drop increases. Excessive suction line pressure drop causes loss of compressor capacity and increased power usage resulting in reduced system efficiency. Excessive pressure drops in the liquid line can cause the liquid refrigerant to flash, resulting in faulty TXV operation and improper system performance. In order to operate efficiently and cost effectively, while avoiding malfunction, refrigeration systems must be designed to minimize both cost and pressure loss. REFRIGERANT PIPING Line sizes must be selected to meet actual installation conditions, not simply based on the connection sizes at the condensing unit or air handling unit. CAUTION REFRIGERANT PIPING This section is for information only and is not intended to provide all details required by the designer or installer of the refrigerant piping between the condenser or condensing unit and the air handling unit. AAON, Inc. is not responsible for interconnecting refrigerant piping. Consult ASHRAE Handbook – Refrigeration and ASME Standards. CAUTION

All line lengths discussed in this manual, unless specifically stated otherwise, are Equivalent Line Lengths. The frictional pressure drop through valves, fittings, and accessories is determined by establishing the equivalent length of straight pipe of the same diameter. Always use equivalent line lengths when calculating pressure drop. Special piping provisions must be taken when lines are up vertical risers or in excessively long line runs. AAON does not recommend running underground refrigerant lines. Liquid Line When sizing the liquid line, it is important to minimize the refrigerant charge to reduce installation costs and improve system reliability. This can be achieved by minimizing the liquid line diameter. However, reducing the pipe diameter will increase the velocity of the liquid refrigerant which increases the frictional pressure drop in the liquid line, and causes other undesirable effects such as noise. Maintaining the pressure in the liquid line is critical to ensuring sufficient saturation temperature, avoiding flashing upstream of the TXV, and maintaining system efficiency. Pressure losses through the liquid line due to frictional contact, installed accessories, and vertical risers are inevitable. Maintaining adequate sub- cooling at the condenser to overcome these losses is the only method to ensure that liquid refrigerant reaches the TXV. Liquid refrigerant traveling upwards in a riser loses head pressure. If the evaporator is below the condenser, with the liquid line flowing down, the gravitational force will increase the pressure of the liquid refrigerant. This will allow the refrigerant to withstand greater frictional losses without the occurrence of flashing prior to the TXV. A moisture-indicating sight glass may be field installed in the liquid line to indicate the occurrence of premature flashing or moisture in the line. The sight glass should not be used to determine if the system is properly charged. Use temperature and pressure measurements to determine liquid sub-cooling, not the sight glass. Liquid Line Routing Care should be taken with vertical risers. When the system is shut down, gravity will pull liquid down the vertical column, and back to the condenser when it is below the evaporator. This could potentially result in compressor flooding. A check valve can be installed in the liquid line where the liquid column rises above the condenser to prevent this. The liquid line is typically pitched along with the suction line, or hot gas line, to minimize the complexity of the configuration. Liquid Line Insulation In cooling only systems, when the liquid line is routed through regions where temperature losses are expected, no insulation is required, as this may provide additional sub- cooling to the refrigerant. When routing the liquid line through high temperature areas, insulation of the line is appropriate to avoid loss of sub-cooling through heat gain. In heat pump systems, when the liquid line is routed through regions where temperature losses are expected (all lines exposed to outside air conditions), insulate with a minimum 1 inch thick Armaflex insulation, as this will prevent capacity loss during heating mode of operation.

In order to ensure liquid at the TXV, the sum of frictional losses and pressure loss due to vertical rise must not exceed available sub-cooling. A commonly used guideline to consider is a system design with pressure losses due to friction through the line not to exceed a corresponding 1-2°F change in saturation temperature. An additional recommendation is that the sum of frictional losses (including valve losses, filter drier losses, other accessories, and line losses) and pressure loss due to vertical rise should not exceed 8°F if the available sub- cooling is 10°F. If the velocity of refrigerant in the liquid line is too great, it could cause excessive noise or piping erosion. The recommended maximum velocities for liquid lines are 100 fpm from the condenser to a receiver to discourage fluid backup, and 500 fpm from receiver tank to the evaporator (300 fpm if the line includes an electric valve to minimize valve induced liquid hammer). Liquid Line Accessories Liquid line shut off valves and filter driers are factory provided. The total length equivalent of pressure losses through valves, elbows and fittings must be considered when adding additional components in the field. It is a good practice to utilize the fewest elbows that will allow the mating units to be successfully joined. A liquid line receiver is factory installed on units with modulating hot gas reheat, units with low ambient control flooded condenser, and units with heat pump. Suction Line The suction line is more critical than the liquid line from a design and construction standpoint. More care must be taken to ensure that adequate velocity is achieved to return oil to the compressor at minimum loading conditions. However, reducing the piping diameter to increase the velocity at minimal load can result in excessive pressure losses, capacity reduction, and noise at full load. Suction Line Routing For cooling only systems, pitch the suction line in the direction of flow (about 1 inch per 20 feet of length) to maintain oil flow towards the compressor, and keep it from flooding back into the evaporator. For heat pump systems, do not pitch lines since they will be flowing in one direction in cooling mode and the opposite direction in heating mode. Crankcase heaters are provided to keep any condensed refrigerant that collects in the compressor from causing damage or wear. Make sure to provide support to maintain suction line positioning, and insulate completely between the evaporator and condensing unit. It is important to consider part load operation when sizing suction lines. At minimum capacity, refrigerant velocity may not be adequate to return oil up the vertical riser. Decreasing the diameter of the vertical riser will increase the velocity, but also the frictional loss. For difficult line routing applications, a double suction riser can be applied to the situation of part load operation with a suction riser. A double suction riser is designed to return oil at minimum load while not incurring excessive frictional losses at full load. A double suction riser consists of a small diameter riser in parallel with a larger diameter riser, and a trap at the base of the large riser. At minimum capacity, refrigerant velocity is not sufficient

the trap, effectively closing off the larger diameter riser, and diverting refrigerant up the small riser where velocity of the refrigerant is sufficient to maintain oil flow. At full load, the mass flow clears the trap of oil, and refrigerant is carried through both risers. The smaller diameter pipe should be sized to return oil at minimum load, while the larger diameter pipe should be sized so that flow through both pipes provides acceptable pressure drop at full load. Figure 7 - Double Suction Riser Construction A double riser can also be used for heat pump operation. The specific volume (ft3/lb) of refrigerant at the discharge temperature and pressure (heating mode line conditions) is significantly lower than the specific volume at the suction temperature and pressure (cooling mode line conditions). To compound the issue, the capacity in heating mode is lower than the capacity in cooling mode. The discharge velocity in the riser during heating mode is much lower than the suction velocity during cooling mode. Often, a double riser is necessary to get acceptable velocities for the discharge mode and acceptable velocities for the suction mode. In the example diagrams (See Figure 8 & Figure 9), the cooling mode will use both lines, and the heating mode will use only one. Suction Line Traps Include a trap immediately after the evaporator coil outlet to protect the TXV bulb from liquid refrigerant. Include traps every 20 feet in vertical suction riser sections. Suction Line Insulation The entire suction line should be insulated with a minimum 1 inch thick Armaflex insulation. This prevents condensation from forming on the line, and reduces any potential loss in capacity associated with heat gain placing additional load on the system. This line should still be insulated in heat pump systems even though it acts as both a discharge and suction line. Suction Line Guidelines For proper performance, suction line velocities less than a 4,000 fpm maximum are recommended. The minimum velocity required to return oil is dependent on the pipe diameter, however, a general guideline of 1,000 fpm minimum may be applied. When suction flow is up, variable capacity compressors require a minimum velocity of 1,500 fpm at full load. Tandem compressors must be considered for full load operation (both compressors operating) and at partial load (only one compressor operating). When suction flow is up, and the tandem has a variable capacity compressor, the velocity for only one compressor in operation must be greater than 1,500 fpm. For on/off compressors, the velocity must be greater than the minimum velocity required to return oil. Heat pump vapor lines must be checked for suction flow (cooling mode operation) and discharge flow (heating mode operation).

of operation. In a fashion similar to the liquid line, a common guideline to consider is a system design with pressure losses due to friction through the line not to exceed a corresponding 1-2°F change in saturation temperature. For split system piping with long horizontal runs and short vertical risers, a smaller pipe size can be used to provide sufficient velocity to return oil in vertical risers at part loads, and a larger size pipe can be used on the horizontal runs and vertical drop sections. This helps with oil return, yet keeps the pressure drop to a minimum. Suction Line Accessories If the job requirements specify suction accumulators, they must be separately purchased and field installed. Heat pump units will include a factory installed suction accumulator. Discharge Line The discharge line is similar to the suction line from a design and construction standpoint. Care must be taken to ensure that adequate velocity is achieved to return oil to the compressor at minimum loading conditions. However, reducing the piping diameter to increase the velocity at minimal load can result in excessive pressure losses, capacity reduction, and noise at full load. Pressure loss in the discharge line has less of an impact on capacity than pressure loss in the suction line. Pressure loss in the discharge line causes the compressors to work harder and thus use more power. Discharge Line Routing For cooling only remote condenser systems, pitch the discharge line in the direction of flow (about 1 inch per 20 feet of length) to maintain oil flow towards the compressor. In a heat pump system, the field installed suction line is also used as a discharge line in the heating mode of operation so the line must be sized to meet both the suction line conditions in cooling mode and the discharge line conditions in heating mode. Because it is used in both directions for a heat pump unit, the line should be installed level, not pitched, to facilitate oil return in both modes of operation. It is important to consider part load operation when sizing discharge lines. At minimum capacity, refrigerant velocity may not be adequate to return oil up the vertical riser. Decreasing the diameter of the vertical riser will increase the velocity, but also the frictional loss. For difficult line routing applications, a double discharge riser can be applied to the situation of part load operation with a discharge riser. A double discharge riser is designed to return oil at minimum load while not incurring excessive frictional losses at full load. A double discharge riser consists of a small diameter riser in parallel with a larger diameter riser, and a trap at the base of the large riser. At minimum capacity, refrigerant velocity is not sufficient to carry oil up both risers, and it collects in the trap, effectively closing off the larger diameter riser, and diverting refrigerant up the small riser where velocity of the refrigerant is sufficient to maintain oil flow. SUCTION RISER TRAPS Circuits require suction riser traps every 20 feet. CAUTION

oil, and refrigerant is carried through both risers. The smaller diameter pipe should be sized to return oil at minimum load, while the larger diameter pipe should be sized so that flow through both pipes provides acceptable pressure drop at full load. (See the Double Suction Riser Construction Figure 7) A double riser can also be used for heat pump operation. The specific volume (ft3/lb) of refrigerant at the discharge temperature and pressure (heating mode line conditions) is significantly lower than the specific volume at the suction temperature and pressure (cooling mode line conditions). To compound the issue, the capacity in heating mode is lower than the capacity in cooling mode. The discharge velocity in the riser during heating mode is much lower than the suction velocity during cooling mode. Often, a double riser is necessary to get acceptable velocities for the discharge mode and acceptable velocities for the suction mode. In the example diagrams, the cooling mode will use both lines, and the heating mode will use only one. See the following schematics that illustrate how the double discharge riser can work for heat pump applications. Figure 8 – Heat Pump Piping Schematic of Cooling Mode in Double Riser Figure 9 – Heat Pump Piping Schematic of Heating Mode in Double Riser

Include traps every 12 feet in vertical discharge riser sections. Discharge Line Insulation Although a typical discharge line does not need to be insulated, the suction line does. Since the same line is used for both, the line must be insulated as described in the Suction Line Insulation section. Discharge Line Guidelines For proper performance, discharge line velocities less than a 3,500 fpm maximum are recommended. The minimum velocity required to return oil is dependent on the pipe diameter, however, a general guideline of 900 fpm minimum may be applied. When discharge flow is up, variable capacity compressors require a minimum velocity of 900 fpm at full load. Tandem compressors must be considered for full load operation (both compressors operating) and at partial load (only one compressor operating). When discharge flow is up, and the tandem has a variable capacity compressor, the velocity for only one compressor in operation must be greater than 900 fpm. For on/off compressors, the velocity must be greater than the minimum velocity required to return oil. Heat pump vapor lines must be checked for suction flow (cooling mode operation) and discharge flow (heating mode operation). The same line must be used for both modes of operation. In a fashion similar to the suction line, a common guideline to consider is a system design with pressure losses due to friction through the line not to exceed a corresponding 1-2°F change in saturation temperature. For split system piping with long horizontal runs and short vertical risers, a smaller pipe size can be used to provide sufficient velocity to return oil in vertical risers at part loads, and a larger size pipe can be used on the horizontal runs and vertical drop sections. This helps with oil return, yet keeps the pressure drop to a minimum. Hot Gas Bypass Line Hot Gas Bypass is available for use with DX systems that may experience low suction pressure during the operating cycle. This may be due to varying load conditions associated with VAV applications or units supplying a large percentage of outside air. The system is designed to divert refrigerant from the compressor discharge to the low pressure side of the system in order to keep the evaporator from freezing and to maintain adequate refrigerant velocity for oil return at minimum load. Hot discharge gas is redirected to the evaporator inlet via an auxiliary side connector (ASC) to false load the evaporator when reduced suction pressure is sensed. Field piping between the condensing unit and the evaporator is required. Hot Gas Bypass Piping Considerations Pitch the hot gas bypass (HGB) line downward in the direction of refrigerant flow, toward the evaporator. DISCHARGE RISER TRAPS Circuits require discharge riser traps every 12 feet. CAUTION

lines, an oil drip line must be provided at the lowest point in the system. The oil drip line must be vertical, its diameter should be the same as the diameter of the riser, and it should be 1 foot long. Install a sight glass in the oil drip line for observation. Run an oil return line, using 1/8 inch capillary tube, 10 feet in length, from the hot gas bypass line oil drip line to the suction line. Connect the oil return line below the sight glass and 1 inch above the bottom of the oil drip line. Figure 10 – Oil Return Line HGB valves are adjustable. Factory HGB valve settings will be sufficient for most applications, but may require slight adjustments for some applications, including some make up air applications. Insulate the entire length of the HGB line with a minimum 1 inch thick Armaflex insulation. Hot Gas Bypass Line Guidelines Choose a small size line to ensure oil return, and minimize refrigerant charge. Maintain velocities below a maximum of 3,500 fpm. A general minimum velocity guideline to use is approximately 2,000 fpm. Hot Gas Reheat The AAON modulating hot gas reheat system diverts hot discharge gas from the condenser to the air handling unit through the hot gas line. Field piping between the condensing unit and the air handler is required. The line delivers the hot discharge gas to the reheat coil and/or the hot gas bypass valve, so it is sized as a discharge line. Discharge lines should be sized to ensure adequate velocity of refrigerant to ensure oil return, avoid excessive noise associated with velocities that are too high, and to minimize efficiency losses associated with friction. Pitch the hot gas line in the direction of flow for oil return. When installing vertical hot gas reheat lines, an oil drip line must be provided at the lowest point in the system. The oil drip line must be vertical, its diameter should be the same as the diameter of the riser, and it should be 1 foot long. Run an oil return line, using 1/8 inch capillary tube, 10 feet in length, from the hot gas reheat line oil drip line to the suction line. Connect the oil return line below the sight glass and 1 inch above the bottom of the oil drip line. (See Oil Return Line Figure 10) Insulate the entire length of the hot gas line with a minimum 1 inch thick Armaflex insulation. Hot Gas Reheat Guidelines Maintain velocities below a maximum of 3,500 fpm. A general minimum velocity guideline is 2,000 fpm.

Connect power and control field wiring as shown on the unit specific wiring diagram provided with the unit. NOTE: Units are factory wired for 208V, 230V, 460V, or 575V. In some units, the 208V and 230V options may also be provided in single or three phase configurations. The transformer configuration must be checked by a qualified technician prior to startup. Size supply conductors based on the unit MCA rating. Supply conductors must be rated a minimum of 167°F (75°C). Route power and control wiring, separately, through the utility entry. Do not run power and signal wires in the same conduit. Protect the branch circuit in accordance with code requirements. The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1. Power wiring is to the unit terminal block or main disconnect. All wiring beyond this point has been done by the manufacturer and cannot be modified without affecting the unit's agency/safety certification. Three phase voltage imbalance will cause motor overheating and premature failure. The maximum allowable imbalance is 5%. Voltage imbalance is defined as 100 times the maximum deviation from the average voltage divided by the average voltage. Example: (218V+237V+235V)/3 = 230V, then 100*(230V-218V)/230V = 5.2%, which exceeds the allowable imbalance. Check voltage imbalance at the unit disconnect switch and at the compressor terminal. Contact your local power company for line voltage corrections. 3-PHASE ROTATION Rotation must be checked on all MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of three phase units. Condenser fan motors should be checked by a qualified service technician at startup and any wiring alteration should only be made at the unit power connection. Variable frequency drives are programmed to automatically rotate the fan in the correct rotation. Do not rely on fans with variable frequency drives for compressor rotation. CAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK Electric shock hazard. Before attempting to perform any installation, service, or maintenance, shut off all electrical power to the unit at the disconnect switches. Unit may have multiple power supplies. Failure to disconnect power could result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or property damage. WARNING

proper motor rotation and check fan motor amperage listed on the motor nameplate is not exceeded. Motor overload protection may be a function of the variable frequency drive and must not be bypassed. Wire control signals to the unit’s low voltage terminal block located in the controls compartment. If any factory installed wiring must be replaced, use a minimum 221°F (105°C) type AWM insulated conductors. SEALING ELECTRICAL ENTRIES Installing Contractor is responsible for proper sealing of the electrical entries into the unit. Failure to seal the entries may result in damage to the unit and property. CAUTION

Before startup of the condenser or condensing unit, make sure that the following items have been checked. 1. Verify that electrical power is available to the unit. 2. Verify that any remote stop/start device connected to the unit controller is requesting the unit to start. Cycle through all the compressors to confirm that all are operating within tolerance. While performing the check, use the startup form to record observations of amps and refrigerant pressures. When all is running properly, place the controller in the Run mode and observe the system until it reaches a steady state of operation. Compressor Operation The compressors must be off for a minimum of 5 minutes and on for a minimum of 5 minutes. Short cycling of the compressors can cause undue stress and wear. 3-PHASE ROTATION Rotation must be checked on all MOTORS AND COMPRESSORS of three phase units. Condenser fan motors should all be checked by a qualified service technician at startup and any wiring alteration should only be made at the unit power connection. Variable frequency drives are programmed to automatically rotate the fan in the correct rotation. Do not rely on fans with variable frequency drives for compressor rotation. CAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts. WARNING QUALIFIED INSTALLER Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Startup and service must be performed by a Factory Trained Service Technician. WARNING Before completing installation, a complete operating cycle should be observed to verify that all components are functioning properly. CAUTION

service checks and maintenance. This includes reading and recording the condensing and suction pressures and checking for normal sub-cooling and superheat. Compressors The scroll compressors are fully hermetic and require no maintenance except keeping the shell clean. Refrigerant Filter Driers Each refrigerant circuit contains a filter drier. Replacement is recommended when there is excessive pressure drop across the assembly or moisture is indicated in a liquid line sight glass. Table 6 - Max Filter Drier Pressure Drops Circuit Loading Max. Pressure Drop 100% 10 psig 50% 5 psig Adjusting Refrigerant Charge All AAON CF Series condensers and condensing units are shipped with a factory holding charge. The factory charge is different depending on the unit size and system (heat pump, modulating hot gas reheat, LAC). The factory charge per circuit is shown on the unit nameplate. Adjusting the charge of the system will be required during installation. Adjusting the charge of a system in the field must be based on determination of liquid sub-cooling and evaporator superheat. On a system with a thermostatic expansion valve liquid sub-cooling is more representative of the charge than evaporator superheat but both measurements must be taken. Before Charging Refer to the Unit Nameplate to determine which refrigerant must be used to charge the system. Unit being charged must be at or near full load conditions before adjusting the charge. Units equipped with hot gas bypass must have the hot gas bypass valve closed to get the proper charge. Units equipped with hot gas reheat must be charged with the hot gas valve closed while the unit is in cooling mode. After charging, unit should be operated in reheat (dehumidification) mode to check for correct operation. Units equipped with heat pump options should be charged in cooling mode to get the COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT Polyolester (POE) and Polyvinylether (PVE) oils are two types of lubricants used in hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigeration systems. Refer to the compressor label for the proper compressor lubricant type. CAUTION CLEAN AIR ACT The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of refrigerant (CFC’s and HCFC’s) as of July 1, 1992. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be levied for non-compliance. CAUTION

be operated in heating mode to check for correct charge. Charge may need to be adjusted for heating mode. If adjustments are made in the heating mode, cooling mode must be rerun to verify proper operation. After adding or removing charge the system must be allowed to stabilize, typically 10-15 minutes, before making any other adjustments. The type of unit and options determine the ranges for liquid sub-cooling and evaporator superheat. Refer to Table 7 when determining the proper sub-cooling. For units equipped with low ambient (0°F) option see the special charging instructions at the end of this section. Checking Liquid Sub-cooling Measure the temperature of the liquid line as it leaves the condenser coil. Read the gauge pressure at the liquid line close to the point where the temperature was taken. You must use liquid line pressure as it will vary from discharge pressure due to condenser coil pressure drop. Convert the pressure obtained to a saturated temperature using the appropriate refrigerant temperature-pressure chart. Subtract the measured liquid line temperature from the saturated temperature to determine the liquid sub-cooling. Compare calculated sub-cooling to Table 7 for the appropriate unit type and options. Table 7 - Acceptable Refrigeration Circuit Values Cooling Mode Liquid Sub- Cooling Values Cooling Only Unit4 8-15°F Cooling Only Unit with Hot Gas Reheat1,4 5-15°F Heat PumpUnit2,4 2-4°F Heat Pump Unit with Hot Gas Reheat3,4 2-6°F Cooling Only Unit with LAC4 8-15°F Cooling Only Unit with Hot Gas Reheat & LAC4 8-15°F Notes: 1. Must be charged with the hot gas valve closed. After charging, unit should be operated in reheat (dehumidification) mode to check for correct operation. 2. The sub-cooling value in this table is for the unit running in cooling mode of operation. After charging, unit should be operated in heating mode to check for correct operation. 3. The sub-cooling value in this table is for the unit running in cooling mode of operation and the hot gas valve closed. After charging, unit should be operated in reheat (dehumidification) mode to check for correct operation and then in heating mode to check for correct operation. 4. Sub-cooling must be increased by 1°F per 10 feet of vertical liquid line rise for R-410A (AHU above CU). For example, a cooling only unit with hot gas reheat and a vertical liquid drop can charge to a sub-cooling value of 5-15°F, but a cooling only unit with hot gas reheat and a vertical liquid rise of 30 ft must charge to a sub-cooling value of at least 8-15°F.

Measure the temperature of the suction line close to the compressor. Read gauge pressure at the suction line close to the compressor. Convert the pressure obtained to a saturated temperature using the appropriate refrigerant temperature-pressure chart. Subtract the saturated temperature from the measured suction line temperature to determine the evaporator superheat. For refrigeration systems with tandem compressors, it is critical that the suction superheat setpoint on the TXV is set with one compressor running. The suction superheat should be 10-13°F with one compressor running. The suction superheat will increase with both compressors in a tandem running. Inadequate suction superheat can allow liquid refrigerant to return to the compressors which will wash the oil out of the compressor. Lack of oil lubrication will destroy a compressor. Liquid sub-cooling should be measured with both compressors in a refrigeration system running. Compare calculated superheat to the acceptable cooling mode superheat values of 8-15°F for all system types. Superheat will increase with long suction line runs. Adjusting Sub-cooling and Superheat Temperatures The system is overcharged if the sub-cooling temperature is too high compared to Table 7 and the evaporator is fully loaded (low loads on the evaporator result in increased sub- cooling) and the evaporator superheat is within the temperature range of 8-15°F (high superheat results in increased sub- cooling) Correct an overcharged system by reducing the amount of refrigerant in the system to lower the sub-cooling. The system is undercharged if the superheat is too high and the sub-cooling is too low. Correct an undercharged system by adding refrigerant to the system to reduce superheat and raise sub-cooling. If the sub-cooling is correct and the superheat is too high, the TXV may need adjustment to correct the superheat. DO NOT OVERCHARGE! Refrigerant overcharging leads to excess refrigerant in the condenser coils resulting in elevated compressor discharge pressure. CAUTION EXPANSION VALVE ADJUSTMENT Thermal expansion valves must be adjusted to approximately 8-15°F of suction superheat. Failure to have sufficient superheat will damage the compressor and void the warranty. CAUTION

Instructions For units equipped with low ambient control (LAC) refrigerant flood back option being charged when the ambient temperature is warm: Once enough charge has been added to get the evaporator superheat and sub-cooling values to the correct setting, more charge must be added. Add approximately 80% of the receiver tank volume to the charge to help fill the receiver tank. The additional charge is required for the system when running in cold ambient conditions. For units equipped with low ambient refrigerant flood back option being charged when the ambient temperature is cold: Once enough charge has been added to get the evaporator superheat and sub-cooling values to the correct setting, more charge may need to be added. If the ambient temperature is 0°F no more charge is required. If the ambient temperature is around 40°F add approximately 40% of the receiver tank volume. The unit will have to be checked for proper operation once the ambient temperature is above 80°F. Oil Level It is critical that the refrigerant line piping is designed to maintain proper oil return to the compressors. Some systems may require oil to be added in addition to what is provided in the compressors. The oil is a PVE type and is available from your AAON Representative under part number V41850. Proper oil level should be observed under minimum load conditions. On units equipped with tandem compressors, all oil is returned to the lead compressor in each tandem pair. When only the lead compressor is running, the oil level should be a minimum of ⅜ from the bottom of the sight glass. With both compressors running, the level in the lead compressor should drop to the bottom of the sight glass and the level in the second compressor should be a minimum of ⅜, from the bottom of its sight glass.

Certain applications require bearings be re-lubricated periodically. The schedule will vary depending on operating duty, temperature variations, or severe atmospheric conditions. Bearings should be re-lubricated at normal operating temperatures, but not when running. Condenser Tube Inspection The coils are leak tested at 650 psig, before shipment. AAON will not be responsible for loss of refrigerant. It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that the system is sealed before charging with refrigerant. Maintenance Recommendations Fan Motor Maintenance Cleaning - Remove oil, dust, water, and chemicals from exterior of motor. Keep motor air inlet and outlet open. Blow out

Labeled Motors - It is imperative for repair of a motor with Underwriters’ Laboratories label that original clearances be held; that all plugs, screws, other hardware be fastened securely, and that parts replacements be exact duplicates or approved equals. Violation of any of the above invalidates Underwriters’ Label. Access Doors If scale deposits or water is found around the access doors, adjust door for tightness. Adjust as necessary until leaking stops when door is closed. Propeller Fans and Motors The fans are directly mounted on the motor shafts and the assemblies require minimal maintenance except to assure they are clear of dirt or debris that would impede the airflow. Recommended Annual Inspection In addition to the above maintenance activities, a general inspection of the unit surface should be completed at least once a year. Air-Cooled Condenser The air-cooled condenser section rejects heat by passing outdoor air over the fin tube coils for cooling of the hot refrigerant gas from the compressors. The condenser coils should be inspected annually to ensure unrestricted airflow. If the installation has a large amount of airborne dust or other material, the condenser coils should be cleaned with a water spray in a direction opposite to airflow. Care must be taken to prevent bending of the aluminum fins on the copper tubes. E-Coated Coil Cleaning Documented routine cleaning of e-coated coils is required to maintain coating warranty coverage. Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed prior to water rinse to prevent restriction of airflow. If unable to back wash the side of the coil opposite of the coils entering air side, then surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic bristle brush may be used. In either case, the tool should be applied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged (fin edges bent over) if the tool is applied across the fins. ELECTRIC SHOCK Electric shock hazard. Shut off all electrical power to the unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts. WARNING PRESSURE CLEANING High velocity water from a pressure washer or compressed air should only be used at a very low pressure to prevent fin and/or coil damages. The force of the water or air jet may bend the fin edges and increase airside pressure drop. Reduced unit performance or nuisance unit shutdowns may occur. CAUTION

hose, against a surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil. This will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface loaded fibers must be completely removed prior to using low velocity clean water rinse. A monthly clean water rinse is recommended for coils that are applied in coastal or industrial environments to help to remove chlorides, dirt, and debris. It is very important when rinsing, that water temperature is less than 130° F and pressure is less than 100 psig to avoid damaging the fin edges. An elevated water temperature (not to exceed 130° F) will reduce surface tension, increasing the ability to remove chlorides and dirt. Quarterly cleaning is essential to extend the life of an e-coated coil and is required to maintain coating warranty coverage. Coil cleaning shall be part of the unit’s regularly scheduled maintenance procedures. Failure to clean an e-coated coil will void the warranty and may result in reduced efficiency and durability. For routine quarterly cleaning, first clean the coil with the approved coil cleaner as mentioned in the next section. After cleaning the coils with the approved cleaning agent, use the approved chloride remover to remove soluble salts and revitalize the unit. Recommended Coil Cleaner The following cleaning agent, assuming it is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions on the container for proper mixing (4:1 condensers & 8:1 evaporators) and cleaning, has been approved for use on e- coated coils to remove mold, mildew, dust, soot, greasy residue, lint, and other particulate: Enviro-Coil Concentrate, Part Number H- EC01. Recommended Chloride Remover CHLOR*RID DTS™ should be used to remove soluble salts from the e-coated coil, but the directions must be followed closely. This product is not intended for use as a degreaser. Any grease or oil film should first be removed with the approved cleaning agent. Remove Barrier - Soluble salts adhere to the substrate. For the effective use of this product, the product must be in contact with the salts. These salts may be beneath any soils, grease or dirt; therefore, these barriers must be removed prior to application of this product. Apply CHLOR*RID DTS - Apply directly onto the substrate. Sufficient product must be applied uniformly across the substrate to thoroughly wet out surface, with no areas missed. This may be accomplished by use of a pump-up sprayer or conventional spray gun. The method does not matter, as long as the entire area to be cleaned is wetted. After the substrate has been thoroughly wetted, COIL CLEANERS Harsh chemicals, household bleach, or acid cleaners should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor e-coated coils. These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and can accelerate corrosion and attack the e-coating. If there is dirt below the surface of the coil, use the recommended coil cleaners. CAUTION

necessary to rinse the salts off. Rinse - It is highly recommended that a hose be used. A pressure washer on a high pressure setting will damage the fins. The water to be used for the rinse is recommended to be of potable quality, though a lesser quality of water may be used if a small amount of CHLOR*RID DTS is added. Check with CHLOR*RID International, Inc. for recommendations on lesser quality rinse water. Service If the unit will not operate correctly and a service company is required, only a company with service technicians qualified and experienced in both refrigerant chillers and air conditioning are permitted to service the systems to keep warranties in effect. If assistance is required, the service technician must contact AAON. Warranties Please refer to the limitation of warranties in effect at the time of purchase.
