recommendations. Verify conditions are within recommended tolerances and
meet local codes.
B. Install evaporator and condenser.
1. Install line set.
a. Verify maximum line length is 80 equivalent feet.
b. Securely fasten line to building structure.
c. Insulate suction line along entire length.
d. Slope horizontal runs ½ inch per 10 feet towards condenser.
2. Install crankcase pressure regulator in suction line 4 to 6 feet away from
compressor.
(Specifier Note: DELETE access tee paragraph below for units over 10,000 BTUH.)
3. Install access tee on receiver flare fitting and place fan cycle control
capillary tube on access tee. Install filter dryer and sight glass.
4. Perform leak tests. Repair all leaks prior to start up.
5. Charge condenser.
6. Install electrical wiring.
7. Isolate vacuum pump from system. Break vacuum to positive pressure.
Add refrigerant vapor.
8. Apply power to units for 24 hours prior to start up.
9. Start unit.
10. Complete charging process with the compressor running and add
balance of charge into suction line of system.
11. Adjust suction pressure at compressor to 30 to 35 PSI.
12. Set condenser fan cycle control to pressures acceptable for R-22 per
geographic location.
13. Add refrigerant until bubbles in sight glass disappear. Run system for 10
minutes and refrigerant if bubbles reappear.
14. Allow wine room temperature to fall to 55 deg. F. Check super heat at the
evaporator. Adjust expansion valve as so that Superheat is 8 to 12 deg. F.
15. Perform final check of refrigeration unit.
(Specifier Note: DELETE ductwork paragraph and subparagraph below when split air
system is not specified.)
