a. When a “C” is shown in the chiller size, this indicates a compact unit (and digit 10 of the unit model number is a “C”).
b. Neither shipping weight nor operating weight include any options.
c. All refrigerant and oil charge values reflect the standard chiller. See the Packaged Chiller Builder Program for charge values when the low LWT Fluid option is employed
(when LWT is below 38°F [3.3°C]).
d. If the EWT requirement is greater than 70°F (21.1°C), a mixing loop is required. The EWT cannot exceed 70°F (21.1°C) for extended operation. Pulldown can be accom-
plished from 95°F (35°C).
e. 30RC air-cooled chillers with LWT below 38°F (3.3°C) are considered brine application chillers and require selection of H in position 11. Brine application chillers are
factory-installed with lower refrigerant charge and increased oil charge.

NOTE(S):
a. When a “C” is shown in the chiller size, this indicates a compact unit (and digit 10 of the unit model number is a “C”).
b. Neither shipping weight nor operating weight include any options.
c. All refrigerant and oil charge values reflect the standard chiller. See the Packaged Chiller Builder Program for charge values when the low LWT Fluid option is employed
(when LWT is below 38°F [3.3°C]).
d. If the EWT requirement is greater than 70°F (21.1°C), a mixing loop is required. The EWT cannot exceed 70°F (21.1°C) for extended operation. Pulldown can be accom-
plished from 95°F (35°C).
e. 30RC air-cooled chillers with LWT below 38°F (3.3°C) are considered brine application chillers and require selection of H in position 11. Brine application chillers are
factory-installed with lower refrigerant charge and increased oil charge.

(when LWT is below 38°F [3.3°C]).
d. If the EWT requirement is greater than 70°F (21.1°C), a mixing loop is required. The EWT cannot exceed 70°F (21.1°C) for extended operation. Pulldown can be accom-
plished from 95°F (35°C).
e. 30RC air-cooled chillers with LWT below 38°F (3.3°C) are considered brine application chillers and require selection of H in position 11. Brine application chillers are
factory-installed with lower refrigerant charge and increased oil charge.

a. These data are only applicable to 30RC chillers which employ free cooling. When the 30RC is integrated with the 09FC free cooling design, the Physical Data for the
complete assembly is altered by the information shown here. See the examples at the end of this section.
b. Depending upon the operating conditions, a given size of 30RC has the ability to be integrated with different sizes of the 09FC (free cooling section).
c. More accurate dimensions may be obtained in the Chiller Submitted Drawing Manager or by contacting your Carrier sales representative
d. Free cooling section shipping weight includes the base 09FC unit plus coil trim panels. The shipping weight is equal to the operating weight minus the weight of the fluid
in the 09FC coils.
e. Free cooling section operating weight includes the base 09FC unit plus coil trim panels. The addition of other options or accessories will slightly increase the weight of
the free cooling section of the chiller.
f. The outlet connection (supply chilled fluid) for the application will be the 30RC evaporator leaving water connection size as shown in the 30RC Physical Data page.
