items.
Packaged Direct Expansion (DX) Units
DX
refrigeration
system
is
factory
assembled, leak tested, charged with
refrigerant and run tested.
Refrigerant system includes an evaporator,
condenser, liquid line filter drier, thermal
expansion
valve
(TXV),
and
scroll
compressor. Compressor is equipped with a
positive pressure forced lubrication system.
Never cut off the main power supply to the
unit, except for servicing, emergency, or
complete shutdown of the unit. When power
is cut off from the unit crankcase heater
cannot prevent refrigerant migration into the
compressor. 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 when power is
restored.
If power to the unit must be off for more
than an hour, turn the thermostat system
switch to "OFF", or turn the unit off at the
control panel, and leave the unit off until the
main power switch has been turned on again
for at least 24 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 started.
Always control the unit from the thermostat,
or control panel, never at the main power
supply, except for servicing, emergency or
complete shutdown of the unit.
During the cooling season, if the air flow is
reduced due to dirty air filters or any other
reason, the cooling coil can get too cold
which will cause excessive liquid to return
CRANKCASE HEATER
OPERATION
Some units are equipped with a
compressor crankcase heater, which
should be energized at least 24 hours
prior to cooling operation, to clear
any liquid refrigerant from the
compressor.
CAUTION
