User’s Information

3. User’s Information

WARNING
Failure to observe the following instructions may result
in premature failure of your system, and possible
voiding of the warranty.

DX Package Units
Never cut off the main power supply to the unit, except for complete shutdown.
Always control the system from the thermostat, or control panel, and never at the main power
supply (except in an emergency, or complete shutdown of the system).
During the cooling season, if the airflow is reduced due to dirty air filters, or other reasons, the
cooling coils will get too cold and result in excessive liquid return to the compressor. As the liquid
concentration accumulates, oil is washed out of the compressor leaving it starved for lubrication.
The compressors must be on a minimum of four minutes, and off for a minimum of five minutes.
The cycle rate must not exceed eight starts per hour.
THE COMPRESSOR LIFE WILL BE SERIOUSLY SHORTENED BY RESULTING REDUCED
LUBRICATION, AND THE PUMPING OF EXCESS AMOUNTS OF LIQUID OIL AND
REFRIGERANT.

Hydronic Cooling and Heating


Non-compressorized units may contain chilled water and/or hot water coils. Units are provided
with internal header connections for field piping. Vent and drain connections can be accessed
within the unit.
Piping is to be run via the piping chase inside the coil compartment, accessible through the coil
compartment access door on the front of the unit. Piping to coil header connections must be
supported independently of the coil to prevent undue stress from weakening connections over
time. Allow adequate flexibility for thermal expansion of the piping.
Use proper glycol solutions or brines to help prevent coil freezing. Consult the designer or
project engineer if you have concerns about lower than normal entering air temperature (typically
air temperatures below 40ºF) that could cause coils to freeze.

Gas or Electric Heating


The system is designed to heat a given amount of air each minute of operation. If the amount of
air heated is greatly reduced (approximately 1/3 capacity), the heat exchanger (or heat coil if
electric) temperature will increase above acceptable levels, and will result in shut down by a high
temperature safety switch incorporated into either the heat exchanger, or the heater area.

WARNING
GAS HEAT UNITS – If heat shuts off due to safety
switch, or gas supply shut off failure, then always
close manual gas valve to unit prior to any electrical
service. Prolonged overheating of the heat exchanger
will shorten its life.
Multiple Unit Operation
ICE WESTERN 9
User’s Information

When several units are used in conditioning the space, and any are combination heating-
cooling units, all system thermostat switches must be set at either heating, cooling, or set at ‘OFF’.
Do not run part of a system switched to an opposite mode. Cooling only units should be switched
to ‘OFF’ at the thermostat during the heating season.

Wiring Diagrams
A complete set of unit specific wiring diagrams in both ladder and point-to point form are
laminated in plastic and affixed to the inside of the service access door.

Condensate Piping
A drain trap must be connected to the drain connection located on the side or back of the unit. If
codes require a condensate drain line, it should be the same pipe size as the drain nipple and
should pitch downward for its entire length toward the drain.
A “P” Trap could be required and supplied by others. An air break should be used with long runs
of condensate lines.

Normal Thermostat Operation


For Heating
- Set system switch to ‘HEAT’
- Set fan switch to ‘AUTO’ or ‘ON’
- Set the desired temperature

For Cooling
- Set system switch to ‘COOL’
- Set fan switch to ‘AUTO’ or ‘ON’

Air Circulation
- Set the system switch to ‘OFF’
- Set the fan switch to ‘ON’

System Off
- Set the system switch to ‘OFF’
- Set the fan switch to ‘AUTO’
- Do not change temperature setting
- With these settings the system id shut down, except for the 24-volt control system power, and
the compressor crankcase heater (approx. 60W).

Night and Vacancy Operation

To reduce the operation time during low load periods, it is recommended that the temperature
setting be increased by 5 ºF during non-occupied periods of the cooling season in commercial
buildings, such as nights and weekends. Decrease the temperature by 10ºF at these times during
the heating season.

ICE WESTERN 10
User’s Information

Gas Heating System

The heating section is for use with natural gas supply pressure of 7” to 14” w.c. The unit may
also utilize propane gas ( If order or after installation of a field conversion kit) with a supply
pressure to the valve of 11” to 12” w.c. The rating plate on the furnace must be inspected to make
sure the unit is stamped for proper gas. A 1/8” pressure tap should be field supplied by the
installer in the piping just ahead of the gas valve.
A centrifugal blower that draws in outside air through a protected opening supplies
combustion air on MTI model. This induced draft blower introduces the air to the blower tubes,
which assures even primary and secondary airflow.
Gas heating units use high efficiency dimpled heat exchanger, for MTI series, it has multiple
tube heat exchanger, for HTDM series, it has 2-pass drum & tube heat exchanger, for GIDM
series, it has 4-pass drum & tube heat exchanger. The instruction of all gas heating system units
please refer to the relevant operation & installation manual attached.

Figure 4: Gas Heat Exchangers

Hot Gas Bypass Systems on DX Units

Some DX cooling units may contain Modulating Hot Gas Bypass systems as factory installed
options. Piping and valves for this systems will be within the casing of the unit w/ access via a
hinged access door.
The purpose of external hot gas bypass is to prevent coil freeze-up and compressor damage
from liquid slugging during periods of low airflow operation, or with low entering air temperatures.
Hot gas bypass is useful when the air conditioning system is subject to variations in load
caused by varying air volume or large proportions of outside air. The hot gas bypass valve meters
discharge refrigerant gas to the distributor downstream of the expansion valve, and at the
entrance to the evaporator distributor tubes. The quantity of the gas varies to control a constant
suction pressure, allowing more gas to flow as suction pressure decreases.
Hot gas bypass is a standard feature on most ICE models
.

Heating & Cooling Systems


Gas Heating System
The units are equipped with a direct spark ignition system that proves the burner operation with
each call for heat. Power to the ignition control is 24V or 120V. Burner ignition is by a high
intensity spark.
When heat is called for, the cooling system is inoperable except for the indoor blower motor.
Heating is accomplished by firing gas into the heat exchanger assembly.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – All gas-fired heat exchangers are completely tested at the factory before
shipment. This will remove nearly all of the oils that have been used in the manufacturing process,
however trace amounts may remain. When performing the initial start-up at the jobsite, it is highly
recommended that people, or any other living animals, that may be sensitive to the residual odors
or gases, NOT be present in the conditioned space during start-up. In all cases, including the
initial factory firing and testing, all of the gases will be under the minimum acceptable level of
concentration for human occupancy.

WARNING
Those sensitive to odors or gases from trace amounts
of residual oils should NOT be present in the
conditioned space during the start-up of a gas-fired
installation.

Electric Heating System


Heating is accomplished by passing electrical current through a specified amount of resistance
heaters that produce the required heat. The indoor blower motor energizes prior to the heaters.

DX Cooling Section

All direct expansion refrigeration systems are factory assembled, charged with refrigerant,
tested, and operated. These systems include liquid line filter driers, expansion valves, and scroll
compressors or semi-hermetic Carlyle compressors. Compressors are equipped with a positive
pressure forced lubrication system. The air-cooled condenser coil is constructed of copper tubes
and mechanically bonded aluminum fins, and air is pulled through by a propeller fan. The
evaporator coil is draw through type constructed of copper tubes and mechanically bonded
aluminum fins, and may have optional coating for hazardous locations.

Chilled Water or Non-Compressorized Cooling Section

Chilled water, or non-compressorized units, have factory-installed coils. Systems are provided
with internal header connections for field piping.
Coils are constructed of copper tubes and mechanically bonded aluminum fins.

labeled terminals on the Control Terminal Strip in the Packaged DX Cooling unit.

Multiple Step Compressor Cooling Models


- The Packaged DX Cooling models with multiple step cooling compressor may use multiple step
cooling thermostat connected to the terminals on the Control Terminal Strip in the Packaged DX
Cooling unit.

Economizer Option

The economizer option is used to provide cooling at lower outdoor air temperatures and to
provide a quantity of ventilation air to the occupied space. The economizer option can be selected
with either a sensible outdoor air temperature sensor or an enthalpy sensor that measures the
heat content in the outdoor air. The economizer controller can be field installed or factory
installed by ICE Western as selected by the customer.

Supply Air Temperature Sensor


A supply air temperature sensor is provided within the equipment. This sensor must be installed
in the downstream supply air ductwork at a sufficient distance from the equipment to provide a
correctly mixed supply air temperature back to the unit control board.

Factory Installed

When factory installed the control board will use the outdoor air sensor and the cooling signal

ICE WESTERN 22
Installation

from the thermostat to provide a first stage of cooling using the outside air when possible before
starting the compressor and mechanical cooling cycle. The thermostat wiring to the control board
with single or multi-stages should be wired as listed previously.

Lockout Modes

Gas Heating

The heating mode will be locked out if the ignition system safety monitors trip 3 times
during a call for heating.

Electric Heating

The heating mode will be locked out if the high temperature limit switch trips 3 times during
a call for heating.

Cooling

The cooling mode will be locked out if the low pressure switch safety switch trips 3 times
during a call for cooling or dehumidification.
Cooling operation will be locked out if the Outside Air Sensor is missing or defective.
The economizer operation during dehumidification will be locked out if the Air Sensor is
defective.
To reset the lockout condition, reset the tripped device. If the device trips again, call
qualified service technician.

Condensate Piping

AH Packaged DX Cooling units are equipped with a condensate drain connection, and ‘P’
traps are furnished by others. The drain connection must be used and individually trapped to
ensure a minimum amount of condensate accumulation in the drain pans.
Although drainage of condensate directly onto the roof may be acceptable in certain areas, is
not recommended as it can damage some types of roofing, and roofing materials. Refer to local
codes for legalities concerning condensate drainage.
Condensate can be piped to a gutter system, or away from the building into other drainage.
Ideally, condensate will be piped into the building drainage system, in which case the drainpipe
may need to penetrate the roof external to the unit itself.
The drain line should be pitched away from the unit with at least 1/8” of slope per foot. On
longer runs, an air break should be used to ensure proper drainage.
Drain pans in air conditioning equipment have moisture present and require periodic cleaning to
remove build up of algae, and/or bacteria. Cleaning the drain pans reduces the probability of
plugged drain lines and overflow of the pan itself. All cleaning of the drain pans and inside of the
equipment should be done by qualified personnel.

Drive Belt Adjustment

General Rules of Tensioning


1. The ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions.
2. Check tension frequently during 24-48 hours of operation.
3. Over tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
4. Keep belts free from foreign material which may cause slippage.
5. Inspect V-belts on a periodic basis. Adjust tension if the belt is slipping. Do not apply belt
dressing. This may damage the belt and cause early failure.

Tension Measurement Procedure


1. Measure the belt span. See figure 13.
2. Place belt tension checker squarely on one belt at the center of the belt span. Apply force to the
checker, perpendicular to the belt span, until the belt deflection equals to belt span distance
divided by 64. Determine force applied while in this position.
3. Compare this force to the values on the drive kit label found on the fan housing.

2. Verify the fan rotation is correct.
3. a. Put Unit into summer mode at remote panel.
b. Dampers should open then end switch will start blower.
c. Record motor Amps to verify against rated.
4. If damper do not open:
a. Check fuses.
b. Check the manual motor protectors or that the circuit breakers have not tripped.
c. Check the optional phase monitor.

Refrigeration System

I. Capacity control adjustments for Carlyle compressor

Pressure-Operated Control Valve is controlled by suction pressure and actuated by the


discharge pressure. Each valve controls 2 cylinders (one bank). On start-up, controlled cylinders
do not load up until differential between suction and discharge pressures is approximately 25
psi.

ADJUSTMENTS

Control Set Point ( cylinder load-up point ) is adjustable from 0 psig to 86 psig.
Turn adjustment nut clockwise to the bottom stop. In this position, the cylinder load-up
pressure is 86 psig. Control set point is regulated to desired pressure by turning the adjustment
nut counterclockwise. Each full turn clockwise decreases the load-up point by approximately 7.2
psi. Approximately 12 turns changes the pressure from 85 psig to 0 psig.

Pressure Differential between cylinder load-up point and unload point is adjustable from 6
psi to 16 psi.
Turn adjustment screw counterclockwise to the back-stop. In this position, the differential is 6
psi. Differential is set by turning the adjustment screw clockwise. Each full turn clockwise
increases the differential by approximately 0.8 psi. Approximately 5 turns changes the differential
from 6 psig to 10 psig
Electrically-Operated Control Valve is actuated by an electric solenoid, which must be of the
same voltage as the unit control circuit. No adjustments are necessary. When the solenoid is
de-energized, the orifices and passage-ways in the valve are aligned for loaded condition,
shown in figure 14. When the solenoid is energized, the system is unloaded as shown in figure
14.
Suction Cutoff Unload Operation – The capacity control valve shown in figure 14 is the
pressure–operated type, which is the one in the following description. In the electrically-actuated
valve, the function of a similar poppet valve is the same as in the pressure-operated type but it is
moved by a solenoid. The function within the cylinder head is the same for both types of control
valve.

LOADED

When suction pressure rises high enough to overcome control set point spring, the diaphragm
snaps to the left and relieves pressure against the poppet valve. The drive spring moves the
poppet valve to the left and it seats in the closed position.
With poppet valve closed, discharge gas is directed into the unload-piston chamber and
pressure builds up against the piston. When pressure against unloader piston is high enough to
overcome the unloader valve spring, piston moves valve to the right, opening suction port.
Suction gas can now be drawn into the cylinders and the bank is running fully loaded.

ICE WESTERN 29
Start-Up

UNLOADED

As suction pressure drops below set point, control spring expands, snapping diaphragm to
right. This forces poppet valve open and allows gas from discharge manifold to vent through
base of control valve to suction side. Loss of full discharge pressure against unloader piston
allows unloader valve spring to move valve left to closed position. The suction port is blocked,
isolating the cylinder bank from the suction manifold. The cylinder bank is now loaded.

Figure 16: Suction Cut-Off Unloaded Operation

ICE WESTERN 30

II. Adjustments for Dual Pressure Control


( JOHNSON CONTROLS: P70, P72, and P170 Series Controls )

All-Range Controls (Low Side Only)


The low side of All-Range controls displays the CUT IN and CUT OUT setpoints. Turn the
range screw to adjust the cut in and cut out setpoints up or down simultaneously which maintains
the set differential value. Turn the differential screw to adjust the cut out setpoint and change the
differential value.

Dual Pressure Control (High Side)


The high side scale plate of the P70, P72, P170 dual pressure controls display only the CUT
OUT setpoint. Turn the range screw to adjust the cutout setpoint. The differential is fixed at about
65 psi.

To adjust the dual pressure controls:


Set low side cut in setpoint by adjusting low side range screw. All-Range Controls: Turn the
screw clockwise to raise the cut in setpoint.
Adjust the differential screw. All-Range Controls: Turn the screw clockwise to raise the cut out
setpoint.
Set high side cut out setpoint by adjusting high side range screw. Turn screw clockwise to raise
the cut out setpoint. (High side differential is fixed.)

III. Hot Gas Bypass Regulator Adjustments

Install an accurate pressure gauge at the control (sensing) point at the outlet side of the valve.
To adjust the valve, loosen Seal Nut and turn Adjusting Stem clockwise to raise the pressure
or counterclockwise to lower the pressure.
The regulator should be set under actual operating conditions. For hot gas bypass this
condition occurs under minimal system load conditions. The regulator should be adjusted to
maintain minimum desired suction pressure. Hot gas flow through the valve can be detected by
listening to the gas flow through the regulator or by feeling the outlet pipe for warmth. When it is
not possible to simulate minimum load conditions, an approximate setting may be obtained by
adjusting the valve until gas flow begins, observing the gauge reading, and then turning the
adjusting stem counterclockwise for the required number of turns to obtain the desired minimum
pressure. This setting should be checked and readjusted as needed under actual conditions.

IV. Typical Malfunctions Of Solenoid Valve


( SPORLAN: Solenoid Valves )

Coil Burnout
a. Coils burnouts are extremely rare unless caused by one of the following:
b. Improper electrical characteristics.
c. Continuous over-voltage, more than 10%.
d. Under-voltage of more than 15%. This applies only if the operating conditions are such that
reduced MOPD causes stalling of the plunger, which results in excessive current draw.
e. Incomplete magnetic circuit due to the omission of parts such as: coil housing, coil sleeves,
coil spring, coil housing bottom plate or plunger on the MKC molded model coils.
f. Mechanical interference with plunger movement which may be caused by a deformed
enclosing tube.
g. Voltage spike.
h. Valve ambient exceeds 120ºF.
i. Fluid or gas temperatures greater than 240 ºF, while the valve ambient is 120 ºF.

Failure To Open (Normally Closed Types)


a. Coil burned out or an open circuit to coil connections.

ICE WESTERN 31
Start-Up

b. Improper electrical characteristics.


c. In pilot operated valves, dirt, scale or sludge may prevent the piston, disc or diaphragm
from lifting. This could also be caused by a deformed body.
d. High differential pressure that exceeds the MOPD rating of the valve.
e. Diameter reduction of synthetic seating material in pilot port because of high temperatures
and/or pressures, or severe pulsations.

Failure To Close
a. Valve is oversized.
b. In pilot operated valves, dirt, scale or sludge may prevent the piston, disc or diaphragm
from lifting. This could also be caused by a deformed body.
c. Held open by the manual lift stem.
d. In pilot operated valves only, a damaged pilot port may prevent closing.
e. A floating disc due to severe discharge pulses.
f. Have voltage feedback to the coil after the coil de-energizes.

V. Superheat Adjustment Of Thermal Expansion Valves


( EMERSON: T-Series Thermal Expansion Valves )

T-Series Thermal Expansion Valves are factory-set for a static superheat. However, the
superheat should be adjusted for the application. Improper superheat adjustment may result in
system malfunction. To properly adjust thermal expansion valve to other superheat settings:
a. Remove seal cap on side of valve.
b. Turn the adjusting stem in a clockwise direction to increase the superheat, and
counterclockwise to decrease superheat.
NOTE: Allow adequate time between adjustments for system to stabilize before checking
superheat.
c. When the desired superheat setting is achieved, reinstall the seal cap.

Gas Heating

1. Ensure that gas lines have been purged of air


- wait 5 minutes after purging to allow gas to clear before continuing with startup.
2. Turn the unit power on.
3. Turn the unit blower on, and check for correct rotation.
4. If correct, take blower amp readings, and compare to see if the amp draw is within the safety
factor area of the motor. Once correct, turn blower off.
5. Turn on the first stage of heating.
6. Check to see that induced draft motor starts.
7. Check to see that main burner lights within 5 seconds of the heating call.
8. Check gas input and manifold pressure, and adjust if necessary.
9. Ensure blower started after burner ignition.
10. Observe burner flames for light blue color, and even flames across burner (propane flames
will have yellow tips). Set with co analyzer.
11. Check temperature rise across heating section while all stages are on.
12. If temperature rise is within range, turn all heating calls off.
13. Check that blower stops after heat turns off.

Optional Equipment

Operation of each of the following, if equipped in the unit, must be checked according to that
item’s manufacturer’s specifications:
- Clogged filter switch
- Supply air smoke detector
- Return air smoke detector
- Hot gas bypass

Commissioning

The commissioning of an HVAC system is the process of achieving, verifying, and documenting
the performance of that system to meet the operational needs of the building. This may not be a
formal process in smaller structures, such as a normal residence, but some form of owner
acceptance will occur. Adjustments made during the commissioning phase may include air
balancing, or configuration of controls, and operational sequences.

Air Balancing
High performance systems commonly have complex air distribution and fan systems. Unqualified
personnel should not attempt to adjust fan operation, or air circulation, as all systems have unique
operating characteristics. Professional air balance specialists should be employed to establish
actual operating conditions, and to configure the air delivery system for optimal performance.

Water Balancing
A hydronic specialist with a complete working knowledge of water systems, controls, and
operation must be employed to properly balance the entire system. Unqualified personnel should
not attempt to manipulate temperatures, pressures, or flow rates, as all systems have unique
operating characteristics, and improper balancing can result in undesirable noises and operation.

Controls
A variety of controls and electrical accessories may be provided with the equipment. Identify the
controls on each unit by consulting appropriate submittal, or order documents, and operate
according to the control manufacturer’s instructions. If you cannot locate installation, operation, or
maintenance information for the specific controls, then contact your sales representative, or the
control manufacturer for assistance.

Operation & Maintenance

7. Operation & Maintenance

General
Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience. Have
this system inspected at regular intervals by a qualified service technician. The required frequency
of inspections depends upon the total operating time and the indoor and outdoor environmental
conditions.

Planned Maintenance
Routine maintenance should cover the following items:
- Tighten all belts, wire connections, and setscrews.
- Clean the evaporator and condenser coils mechanically or with cold water, if necessary. Usually
any fouling is only matted on the entering air face and can be removed by brushing.
- Lubricate the motor and fan shaft bearings.
- Align or replace the belts as needed.
- Clean or replace the filters as needed.
- Check each circuit’s refrigerant sight glass when the circuit is operating under steady-state, full
load conditions. The sight glass should then be full and clear. If it is not, check for refrigerant
leaks. (A partially full sight glass is not uncommon at part load conditions.)
- Check for proper superheat.
- Check for proper subcooling.
- Check for blockage of the condensate drain. Clean the condensate pan as needed.
- Check the power and control voltages.
- Check the running amperage of all motors.
- Check all operating temperatures and pressures.
- Check and adjust all temperature and pressure controls as needed.
- Check and adjust all damper linkages as needed.
- Check the operation of all safety controls.
- Examine the gas furnace.
- Check the condenser fans and tighten their setscrews.
- Lubricate the door latch mechanisms.

Cooling

Coils should be inspected and cleaned at least once per year to ensure there is no
obstruction to airflow.

Evaporator Coil

Dirty evaporator coils will eventually freeze up, and often result in a time consuming, and
expensive service call. Clean filters will help to prevent dirt from accumulating on the evaporator;
however the evaporator should be cleaned annually with a soft bristled brush, and/or a non-
corrosive coil cleaning solution.

Condenser Coil

One of the most overlooked maintenance requirements is the need to keep air moving freely
across air-cooled condensing coils. Dirty condensers, like evaporators, can significantly increase
cooling costs during the year. As a minimum, clean the condenser coil at the beginning of
each cooling season. It is preferable to use a medium pressure water spray from the inside

ICE WESTERN 36
Operation & Maintenance

of the condenser cabinet with a non-corrosive coil cleaning solution. TURN OFF all power to the
unit before cleaning.
Comb out any visible exterior fin damage to help maintain unit efficiency.

Condenser Fan

Always check condenser fan blades to ensure unobstructed, free rotation after manipulating
the unit cabinet in any way, and before turning power back on to the condenser. Clean the fan
blades if they are dirty.

Blower Assembly

Clean blower wheels are necessary to reduce electrical use, maintain capacity and reduce
stress on the unit. The blower wheel and blower section need to be inspected periodically, and
cleaned of dust, or debris.
To inspect and clean the blower; set thermostat to the “OFF” position; turn the electrical power
to the unit to the “OFF” position at the disconnect switch.

Figure 18: Blower Section

Gas Furnace

Planned maintenance is the best way to avoid unnecessary expense and inconvenience. Have
this system inspected at regular intervals by a trained and experienced service technician. The
following service intervals are typical for average situations but will have to be adjusted to you’re
your particular circumstances.

ICE WESTERN 37
Operation & Maintenance

Fuel pressure settings and control settings should be made only by persons thoroughly
experienced with the burner and control system, and must not be tampered with by persons
without such experience.
Always replace covers on burner controls and boxes as the electrical contacts are sensitive to
dust and dirt. Perform maintenance of controls, gas valves, and other components in accordance
with instructions contained in the manufacturer’s bulletins.
Monthly

Check air filters and replace if dirty.

Twice Yearly

1. Burner Air - Check burner fan wheel for dirt buildup and lint. Check combustion air intake louver
and flue box for dirt buildup and accumulation of windborne debris.
2. Cleaning - Inspect flue tubes and combustion chamber, cleaning as required. Keep burner
vestibule clean. Dirt and debris can result in burner air blockages.

Yearly

1. Gas Train - Check all valves, piping and connections for leakage. Inspect and clean flame rod,
ignition electrode, and burner manifold.
2. Condensate Pan/Drain/P-Trap – Check pan, drain, and p-traps for accumulation of debris.
Check that p-traps are filled with water at the start of each cooling season.

Chilled Water

Check remote chiller operations as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Check coolant flow
valves for correct operation and settings.

Filters

Open the filter access door. Slide filters towards you to inspect. Replace old filters with
the size indicated on each filter. Filters should be checked every 30 days and replaced or cleaned
as necessary.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP FILTERS, COILS, AND BLOWERS CLEAN!

Figure 19: Filter Section

ICE WESTERN 38
Operation & Maintenance

Cleaning

Inspect and clean unit interior at the beginning of each heating and cooling season and as
operating conditions require.
Service

In the event the unit is not functioning correctly and a service company is required, only a
company with service technicians qualified and experienced in both heating and air conditioning
should be permitted to service the systems in order to keep warranties in effect. The service tech
may call ICE Western if assistance is required.

color with the two colors displayed on the reference label.
Colors change as often as the system moisture content
changes.
MWP - 680 psig
IMPORTANT: 12 hours is recommended after installation
of the Moisture Liquid Indicator before attempting to
determine the system moisture content.

Safety Instructions
1. Read all instructions thoroughly. Failure to comply
can result in valve failure, system damage, or
personal injury.
2. The indicator element will indicate an unsafe
condition before installation. This is normal and
simply reflects the room humidity condition.
3. The exclusive fused glass eyepiece in the Moisture
Liquid Indicator provides a clear, wide-angle view of
the liquid refrigerant flow so that bubbles or flash gas
are easily seen. This indicates an insufficient system
charge, low head pressure, insufficient liquid
subcooling or some form of restriction in the liquid
line.

Installation Instructions
1. The Moisture Liquid Indicator may be installed
anywhere in the liquid line and in any position. It is
normally installed downstream from the filter-drier
and immediately ahead of the thermal expansion
valve.
2. Extended cooper connections with bar stock body
permits use of any soft solder or commonly used
Figure 1
brazing alloys. When soldering or brazing, direct the
flame away from the body. Wet rags or chill blocks
must be used when brazing to prevent damaging the
Moisture Liquid Indicator. See Figure 1. CAUTION: This product is intended for use on all CFC,
HCFC and HFC refrigerants. Do not use on any
unlisted fluid media without prior approval of the
Emerson Climate Technologies Flow Controls
Division Applications Engineering Department. Use
on fluids not listed above could result in deterioration
of the moisture indicator element. Not for use on
refrigerants classified by ASHRAE standard 34 as
Class A1/A2, A2, A3, B2 and B3.

Superheat Adjusment Dimesional Data

Emerson’s Thermal valves are factory set to a specific superheat -


however, the superheat should be adjusted for the application. To
adjust the valve to other superheat settings:

1. Remove the seal cap from bottom of valve.

2. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase superheat and


counterclockwise to decrease superheat.
One complete 360* turn changes the
superheat approximately 3-4°F, regardless
of the refrigerant type. As much as 30
minutes may be required for the system to
stabilize after the adjustment is made.

3. Replace and hand-tighten seal cap.

Caution: There are 10 turns on the adjustment stem. When adjusting


superheat setting - when stop is reached, any further
turning adjustment will damage valve.

Installation & Service Instructions


Dimesional Data Application & Operation

The BA(E) valve is currently replacing conventional TXV’s on air


conditioning and refrigeration systems with any combination of the
following system operating conditions:

1. Widely varying evaporator loads

2. Widely varying head pressures

3. Widely varying pressure drop available


across the thermostatic expansion valve and
refrigerant distributor

4. Fluctuating or extremely low liquid temps.

Severe conditions are those which drastically increase a conventional


expansion valve’s maximum capacity: high head pressures for
example, also, low liquid temperatures that would be experienced on
a system with mechanical sub coolers during summer operation.
BA(E) high system performance is possible because the large
diaphragm allows the valve to operate with the valve pin controlling
very close to the seat. This provides, stable control at minimum
changes in stroke, enabling a large port to handle small loads.

Problems can occur with refrigeration systems during both high and
low ambient conditions when the condensing temperature is allowed
to follow the ambient. As the evaporator temperature remains
reasonably constant, this results in extreme pressure drop changes
across the valve. These pressure drop changes can result in a
conventional valve not maintaining a constant superheat at the
evaporator outlet. These superheat changes can result in the
evaporator starving in low ambient conditions and flooding in the
higher ambient, depending on the valve design. Another variable
factor for this situation is how low the head pressure is allowed to
decrease. This of course depends on whether heat reclaim is utilized
for heating purposes, or if hot gas will be used for evaporator defrost.

Emerson’s BA(E) Thermal Expansion Valves are


designed to meet the specific demands of refrigerated
display cases, reach-in & walk-in coolers and freezers,
and commercial applications ranging from medium
(+50°F)to low(-50°F) temperature, with proper charge.

of condensing pressure
• Six sizes up to 97 kW (R410A)
• Compact size
• Hermetic design

• Brazing connections with straight through configuration


• Long life laser welded stainless steel power element
resists corrosion TX6
• Large diaphragm eliminates disturbances to the valve
and provides smoother and consistent valve control
• Tailored charges for different applications

• External equalizer
• External superheat adjustment
• Brass body

Introduction Construction
Thermo-Expansion Valves control the superheat of refrigerant The valve body is made from brass, the connections are in a
vapour at the outlet of the evaporator. They act as a throttle straight through configuration. The diaphragm movement is

operates as Bi-flow in heat pump applications, the advantage of
balance port is given in cooling or heating mode.
A spring opposes the force underneath the pin and its tension
can be adjusted by the external stem. The static superheat can
be adjusted by rotation of the stem. Static superheat increases
by turning the stem clockwise and decreased by turning the
stem counter clockwise.

Static superheat
Liquid charges
The behaviour of Thermo-Expansion Valves with liquid MOP
charges is exclusively determined by temperature changes at
the bulb and not subject to any cross-ambient interference.
Working range
They feature a fast
response time and thus react quickly in the control circuit. Evaporating
Liquid charges cannot incorporate MOP functions. The temperature/
maximum bulb temperatures is limited and shall not exceed the pressure
values, shown in the following table:
Valve operates as superheat control in normal working range
Table 1: and operates as pressure regulator within MOP range.
Refrigerant/Charge Maximum bulb temperature
R 134a / M0 88°C Practical hints:
R 407C / N0 71°C Superheat adjustments influence the MOP:
R 22 / H0 71°C • Increase of superheat: decrease of MOP
• Decrease of superheat: increase of MOP
Gas charges
The behaviour of Thermo-Expansion Valves with gas charges
will be determined by the lowest temperature at any part of the
expansion valve (power assembly, capillary tube or bulb). If any
parts other than the bulb are subject to the lowest temperature,
malfunction of the expansion valve may occur (i.e. erratic low
pressure or excessive superheat). ALCO TX6 with gas charges
always feature MOP functions and include ballasted bulbs.
Ballast in the bulb leads to slow opening and fast closure of the
valve. Maximum bulb temperature is 120°C.

MOP (Maximum Operating Pressure)


MOP functionality is somewhat similar to the application of a
crankcase pressure regulator.
Evaporator pressures are limited to a maximum value to protect
compressor from overload conditions.
MOP selection should be within maximum allowed low pressure
rating of the compressor and should be at approximately 3 K
above maximum evaporating temperature.

Other Subjects to be considered in Bi-flow applications:


• In an air to water (liquid) systems, it may require a receiver • It is possible to install several Bi-flow filter dryers in
in order to hold excessive refrigerant in one mode of parallel in system with larger capacity
operation
• It is important to provide proper refrigerant distribution
• Do not install the Bulb of TXV between accumulator and through liquid distributor at the inlet of evaporator due to
compressor distance between TXV and distributor

Static superheat setting


The factory setting of a TX6 is made with the valve pin just Capacity
starting to move away from the seat. The superheat increment
necessary to get the pin ready to move is called static Qr = Reserve capacity
superheat (SS). An increase of superheat over and beyond the Qmax.
static superheat (factory setting) is necessary for the valve pin
Qr
to open to its rated capacity. This additional superheat is known
as gradient or opening superheat (OS). Qn
The working superheat (WS), which can be measured in the
field, is the sum of static superheat and opening superheat.
The opening superheat of TXV varies if the selected valve
operates at higher or lower capacities than the rated capacity. It
is highly recommended to select the valve according to the
rated capacity. Using reserve capacity leads to larger opening Superheat (K)
superheat and longer pull down time during start-up or after
defrost. SS OS
Selecting a larger valve than required in a system may lead to
smaller opening superheat and/or hunting of TXV.
WS

Qr ≈ 15% for TX6-..2/3/4/5/6


Qr ≈ 10% for TX6-..7

Thermo Expansion Valves

Dimensioning of Thermo-Expansion Valves


To apply proper Thermo-Expansion Valves on a system the
following design conditions must be available:
• Cooling capacity Q0
• Effective pressure differential across TXV ∆p
• Evaporating temperature / pressure
• Lowest possible condensing temperature / pressure
• Liquid temperature at the inlet of TXV
• Refrigerant type

To facilate valve dimensioning for other than the standard


conditions ALCO offers an Excel based Selection Tool. This
can be ordered from all Copeland sales offices. See
www.eCopeland.com for contact addresses, email or phone
numbers.

Otherwise the following formula has to be used:


Cooling capacity x K∆p x Kt = Nominal capacity of TXV

• Select Kt-factor according to refrigerant. liquid and


evaporating temperature from tables on pages 9-11.
• Determine effective pressure differential across the
Thermo-Expansion Valve using condensing pressure.
subtract evaporating pressure and all other possible
pressure losses. Select K∆p-factor from tables
on pages 11 … 12.

Technical Data

ALCO Controls EX4 / EX5 / EX6 / EX7 / EX8 are stepper motor
driven valves for precise control of refrigerant mass flow in air
conditioning, refrigeration, heat pumps, close control, and
industrial process cooling applications.
The Control Valves can be used as thermo-expansion duty,
liquid injection duty, hot gas bypass, evaporator pressure
regulator, crankcase pressure regulator, head pressure
regulator, or liquid level control.
This data sheet describes only the performance of the valves.
Operation of required controllers, driver boards and sensors EX4 / EX5 / EX6 (Uni-flow/Bi-flow)
are part of other documentations (see page 29).
Features
• Multifunction as expansion valves, hot gas bypass, suction
gas throttling, head pressure, liquid level actuator etc.
• Fully hermetic design (no thread joints between valve body
and motor compartment)
• Stepper motor driven
• Very fast full stroke time (1.5 sec. for EX4/5/6, 3.2 sec. for
EX7 and 5.2 sec. for EX8)
• High resolution and excellent repeatability EX7 (Uni-flow/Bi-flow)

Driver and controller


In contrary to thermo-expansion and regulator valves, stepper EXD-U Universal driver is a stepper motor driver which uses
motor driven valves are not self operated actuators and require: an analogue input signal to define the valve opening. It enables
- a stepper motor driver which generates the digital pulse the operation of EX4/EX5/EX6/EX7/EX8 as:
sequence needed to move the stepper motor in clockwise • Electronic expansion valve
or counter clockwise direction • Capacity control by means of hot gas bypass or evaporating
- an algorithm which determines the opening of the valve as pressure regulator
a function of system parameters and conditions. • Crankcase pressure regulator

System 350TM A350P Electronic Proportional Plus Integral


Temperature Control

The A350P is an electronic, proportional plus integral


temperature control with analog 0 to 10 VDC and
0 to 20 mA outputs. The control is equipped with
three user-selectable time integration constants and
an adjustable throttling range of 2 to 30F° (1 to 17C°).
Two models cover a setpoint range of -30 to 130°F
(-35 to 55°C) and 90 to 250°F (32 to 121°C).

As are all System 350™ products, the A350P control


is housed in a NEMA 1, high-impact plastic enclosure.
The modular design provides easy, plug-together
connections for quick installation and future
expandability.
