Page 21: Effective capacity loss

APPLICATION DATA (cont)
3) For line lengths over 50 ft (018,024 only):
a) A crankcase heater should be added to scroll
compressor units (all non-scroll compressor units
have crankcase heaters as standard). Crankcase
heaters help prevent refrigerant migration to the
compressor during the off cycle.
b) Any time the equivalent line length is over 100 ft,
a liquid line solenoid must be used. A liquid line
solenoid may also be required for vertical lift ap-
plications over 25 ft. See Step h) on page 22.
c) The accessory wind baffle is recommended.
d) The Effective Capacity Loss table on this page
provides the estimated percentage of nominal
cooling capacity losses based on the standard re-
quired vapor line size versus what is selected for
long-line applications.
Select the desired vapor line size from the Effec-
tive Capacity Loss table based on equivalent ft
and desired vapor line size.
Subtract the nominal percentage loss from the
unit cooling capacities for the given indoor and
outdoor combination.

*Charge based on 25 ft of interconnecting tubing. Charge may need to be added
for longer tubing runs or when used with certain fan coils. Check unit nameplate
for required charge.
NOTES:
1. All 018,024 pistons are Chattleff type.
2. All cooling units have a full factory charge.
3. Service valves are front-seating type.

*Nominal cooling capacity of the unit being specified.
†The vapor line diameter that may be selected for long-line application. If smaller
vapor lines than are specified in the table are selected, a larger capacity loss will
occur. If larger vapor lines are selected, refrigerant oil return will be impaired due
to velocity loss.
**Not recommended due to excessive loss of capacity.
NOTE: Long-line applications (50 ft and longer) are not permitted on 009, 012
systems.
