    Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner Compressor delay PCB Fig.5-1 START KITS(OPTIONAL) This special relay uses the EMF generated by the compressor start windings to take a start capacitor out of the circuit. The relay and its companion capacitor can start the compressor at low voltages and against higher pressure, such as those caused by non-bleed port expansion valves.

    Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner Air leakage of only 3% in a return duct can cause a 5% loss in system capacity. 3% leakage on a three ton system is only 30 CFM. Two or three unsealed joints can cause a leak of this size. Sealing the return and supply ducts result in full system capacity and lower operating costs.
  • Page 14 Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner If the unit is to be installed in an area where contaminants are likely to be a problem, special attention should be given to the equipment location and exposure. Avoid having lawn sprinkler heads spray directly on the unit cabinet. In coastal areas, locate the unit on the side of the building away from the waterfront.

    Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner 7.4.UNIT CLEARANCES Fig. 7--1 The minimum clearances for the unit are shown in Fig. 8--1. Condenser air enters from all (4) sides. Air discharges upward from the top of the unit. Refrigerant line and electrical connections are made from the service access area.

    Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner refrigerant liquid line. 5. At the end of the liquid line, the refrigerant passes through a fixed metering device, reducing pressure and temperature . The liquid, under reduced pressure, then enters the indoor coil surface it expands and absorbs heat from the indoor air passing over the finned surface.

  • Page 27 Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL CHECKS Single-phase compressors use permanent split capacitor motors. There are two windings that connect at a common point at the “common” wiring terminal. The two windings are called “start” and "run". The start winding has the higher resistance and is connected in series with the capacitor.
  • Page 28 Model: Cooling Only, 13SEER units Central Air Conditioner OPEN COMPRESSOR START WINDING---REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR . 7.The resistance from one winding terminal to any other terminal should be the same with three phase compressors. NOTE: on larger 208/230 volt compressors the ohm values could be as low as 0.10 ohms, THIS IS NOT A SHORTED WINDING .A winding is open if resistance measured is infinite( ).

Run the condensing fan until the leaving air temperature equals to the entering air temperature. This is now the refrigerant temperature . Compare the observed refrigerant pressure shown on the high pressure gauge to its associated pressure on a temperature –pressure conversion chart.
