The cooler fluid inlet and outlet connections are grooved-
end. On 30HW units, the fluid enters at the top connection
and leaves at the bottom connection. Procedures for making
the grooved-end connections are the same as for the 30HWB
condensers. See 30HWB Condenser section on page 16 for
more details.
Run the pump for 10 minutes, then clean the strainer be-
fore starting the unit.
A cooler flow switch must be field-installed on all units.
This should be a differential pressure switch that is installed
between the cooler fluid inlet and outlet. The switch should
be set to open when the cooler fluid flow drops below the
values shown in Table 3. Use the cooler water pressure drop
curves (Fig. 16) to determine correct setting for each unit
size. Use Carrier accessory flow switch, part number
30HW900003. See Table 3 for Minimum Flow rates and loop
volumes.
See Step 6 — Make Electrical Connections section on
page 19 for flow switch wiring details.
30HK, HL Units — The thermistor used for sensing fluid
temperature is factory-installed in the cooler leaving fluid
line.
30HW Units — The thermistor used for sensing the fluid
temperature is inside the cooler leaving-water cavity.
