Air-Cooled Condensing Units
INTRODUCTION
The 38GK condensing units are designed for
use with Carrier approved evaporator coils or fan
coils which have capillary tube or AccuRater
refrigerant control. They may also be used with
evaporators which have expansion valves that
equalize pressure during the off cycle. If an
expansion valve without pressure equalization fea
ture is used, add an accessory start capacitor kit to
condensing unit.
Install these condensing units either thru-the-
wall, outdoors on a slab or on the roof. When
installing units, allow sufficient space for air-flow
clearance, wiring, refrigerant piping and servicing
units. Consult local building codes and National
Electrical Code (NEC) for special installation re
quirements. See Fig. 1 and Tables 1 and 2 for
detailed unit installation data.
