AIR FILTERS AND SCREENS
Each unit is equipped with return air filters. If the unit has an econ-
omizer, it will also have an outside air screen. If a manual outside
air damper is added, an inlet air screen will also be present.
Each of these filters and screens will need to be periodically re-
placed or cleaned.
RETURN AIR FILTERS
Return air filters are disposable fiberglass media type. Access to
the filters is through the small lift-out panel located on the rear
side of the unit, above the evaporator/return air access panel. (See
Fig. 1.)
Removing the Return Air Filters
1. Remove the return air filter and indoor coil access panel.
See Fig. 1.
2. Reach inside and remove filters from the filter rack.
3. Replace these filters as required with similar replacement
filters of same size.
4. Re-install the return air filter and indoor coil access panel.
OUTDOOR AIR HOOD
Outside air hood inlet screens are permanent aluminum-mesh type
filters. See Fig. 2. Inspect these screens for cleanliness. Remove
the screens when cleaning is required. Clean by washing with hot
low-pressure water and soft detergent and replace all screens be-
fore restarting the unit. Observe the flow direction arrows on the
side of each filter frame.
Economizer Inlet Air Screen

Fig. 3 — Inlet Air Screen Installation
Supply Fan Assembly
The supply fan system consists of two forward-curved centrifugal
blower wheels mounted on a solid blower shaft that is supported
by two greasable pillow block concentric bearings. A fixed-pitch
driven fan pulley is attached to the fan shaft and an adjustable-
pitch driver pulley is mounted on the motor. The pulleys are con-
nected using a V-belt. (See Fig. 4 and 5.)
VERTICAL SUPPLY MODELS
The two fan wheels used on the vertical supply models are the
same: 15-in. diameter x 15-in. width. This arrangement provides
uniform airflow distribution across the width of the evaporator
coil, electric heater, and into the supply duct.
HORIZONTAL SUPPLY MODELS
The horizontal supply models have two different fan wheel sizes
on a single shaft. The front side wheel is 18-in. diameter x 15-in.
wide, while the rear side fan is 15-in. diameter x 11-in. wide. This
arrangement promotes uniform airflow across the width of the
evaporator coil and heater assembly while using a supply outlet on
the rear side of the unit.
NOTE: This major difference in the fan system design makes it
impossible to field-convert the 551J unit’s supply fan outlet
configuration.
Fig. 4 — Supply Fan Arrangement
BELT
Check the belt condition and tension quarterly. Inspect the belt for
signs of cracking, fraying or glazing along the inside surfaces.
Check belt tension by using a spring-force tool, such as Brown-
ing’s “Belt Tension Checker” (P/N 1302546 or equivalent tool);
tension should be 6 lb at a 5/8-in. (1.6 cm) deflection when mea-
sured at the center line of the belt span. This point is at the center
of the belt when measuring the distance between the motor shaft
and the blower shaft.
NOTE: Without the spring-tension tool, place a straight edge
across the belt surface at the pulleys, then push down on the belt at
mid-span using one finger until a 1/2-in. (1.3 cm) deflection is
reached. See Fig. 6.
CAUTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury or
death.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on the
fan system, shut off all unit power and lockout/tag-out the unit
disconnect switch. DO NOT reach into the fan section with
power still applied to unit.

7. Tighten the four motor mounting nuts.
8. Check the V-belt tension. Make adjustments as necessary.
9. Re-tighten the four motor mounting nuts.
10. Tighten both jack bolt locking nuts securely.
Replacing the V-belt
1. Use a belt with same section type or similar size. Do not
substitute a “FHP” or notched type V-belt.
2. Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the motor mounting plate
front bolts and rear bolts. See Fig. 5.
3. Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the jack bolt lock nuts.
Loosen (turn counterclockwise) the jack bolts, relieving
the belt tension and allowing easy removal of the belt by
hand.
4. Remove the belt by gently lifting the old belt over one of
the pulleys.
5. Install the new belt by gently sliding the belt over both
pulleys, then tighten (turn clockwise) the jack bolts, slid-
ing the motor plate away from the fan housing until proper
belt tension is achieved.
6. Check the alignment of the pulleys, adjust if necessary.
See Fig. 6.
7. Tighten all bolts attaching the motor to the motor plate.
8. Tighten all jack bolt jam nuts by turning clockwise.
9. Check the tension after a few hours of runtime and re-
adjust as required. See Fig. 5.
ADJUSTABLE-PITCH PULLEY ON MOTOR
The motor pulley is an adjustable-pitch type that allows a servicer
to implement changes in the fan wheel speed to match as-installed
ductwork systems. The pulley consists of a fixed flange side that
faces the motor (secured to the motor shaft) and a movable flange
side that can be rotated around the fixed flange side that increases
or reduces the pitch diameter of this driver pulley. (See Fig. 6.)
As the pitch diameter is changed by adjusting the position of the
movable flange, the centerline on this pulley shifts laterally, along
the motor shaft. This creates a requirement for a realignment of
the pulleys after any adjustment of the movable flange. Also reset
the belt tension after each realignment. The factory settings of the
adjustable pulley is five turns open from full closed.
Check the condition of the motor pulley for signs of wear. Glazing
of the belt contact surfaces and erosion on these surfaces are signs
of improper belt tension and/or belt slippage. Pulley replacement
may be necessary.
Changing Fan Speed
1. Shut off the main unit power supply, and use the approved
lockout/tag-out procedures.
2. Loosen the belt by loosening the motor adjustment bolts as
described in the Belt Adjustment section.
3. Loosen the movable pulley flange setscrew. (See Fig. 6.)
4. Screw the movable flange toward fixed flange to increase
speed and away from fixed flange to decrease speed.
Increasing fan speed increases load on the motor. Do not
exceed maximum speed specified in the Product Data or
motor amperage listed on the unit rating plate.
5. Set the movable flange at the nearest keyway or flat of the
pulley hub and tighten the setscrew to torque of 72 ± 5 in.-lb
(8.14 ± 0.56 Nm).
Aligning the Fan and Motor Pulleys
1. Loosen the fan pulley setscrews.
2. Slide the fan pulley along the fan shaft. Make angular
alignment by loosening the motor from its mounting. See
Fig. 7.
3. Tighten the fan pulley setscrews and motor mounting bolts
to torque specifications.
4. Recheck the belt tension. See Fig. 6.

CHANGING FAN WHEEL SPEED BY CHANGING
PULLEYS
The horsepower rating of the belt is primarily dictated by the pitch
diameter of the smaller pulley in the drive system (typically the
motor pulley in these units). Do not install a replacement motor
pulley with a smaller pitch diameter than provided on the original
factory pulley. Change fan wheel speed by changing the fixed fan
pulley (larger pitch diameter to reduce wheel speed, smaller pitch
diameter to increase wheel speed) or select a new system with
both pulleys and matching belt(s).
Before changing pulleys to increase fan wheel speed, check the
fan performance at the target speed and airflow rate to determine
new motor loading (bhp). Use the fan performance tables or use
the Packaged Rooftop Builder software program. Confirm that the
motor in this unit is capable of operating at the new operating con-
dition. Fan shaft loading increases dramatically as wheel speed is
increased.
To reduce vibration, replace the motor’s adjustable pitch pulley
with a fixed pitch pulley (after the final airflow balance adjust-
ment). This will reduce the amount of vibration generated by the
motor/belt-drive system.
To determine variable pitch pulley diameter, perform the follow-
ing calculation:
1. Determine full open and full closed pulley diameter.
2. Subtract the full open diameter from the full closed diameter.
3. Divide that number by the number of pulley turns open
from full closed.
This number is the change in pitch datum per turn open.
EXAMPLE:
– Pulley dimensions 2.9 to 3.9-in. (full close to full open)
– 3.9 - 2.9 = 1-in.
– 1 divided by 5 (turns from full close to full open)
– 0.2 change in pulley diameter per turn open
– 2.9 + 0.2 = 3.1-in. pulley diameter when pulley closed one turn
from full open
2-SPEED FAN WITH VARIABLE FREQUENCY
DRIVE (VFD)
2-Speed Indoor Fan System
NOTE: The 2-Speed Indoor Fan Motor option is not available on
units with Perfect Humidity™ adaptive humidification system.
The 2-Speed Indoor Fan Motor system utilizes a fan speed control
board and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to automatically ad-
just the indoor fan motor speed in sequence with the unit’s ventila-
tion, cooling and heating operation. Conforming to ASHRAE
90.1 2010 Standard Section 6.4.3.10.b, during the first stage of
cooling operation the 2-Speed Indoor Fan Motor system will ad-
just the fan motor to provide two-thirds (2/3) of the design airflow
rate for the unit. When the call for the second stage of cooling is
required, the 2-Speed Indoor Fan Motor system will allow the de-
sign airflow rate for the unit established (100%). During the heat-
ing mode, the 2-Speed Indoor Fan Motor system will allow total
design airflow rate (100%) operation. During ventilation mode,
the 2-Speed Indoor Fan Motor system will operate the fan motor
at 2/3speed.

Recommended Condenser Coil Maintenance and
Cleaning
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain proper
operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and removal of
harmful residues will greatly increase the life of the coil and ex-
tend the life of the unit. The following maintenance and cleaning
procedures are recommended as part of the routine maintenance
activities to extend the life of the coil.
REMOVE SURFACE LOADED FIBERS
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a vacuum
cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic
bristle brush may be used. In either case, the tool should be ap-
plied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily dam-
aged (fin edges can be easily bent over and damage to the coating
of a protected coil) if the tool is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose, against a
surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil. This
will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface loaded fibers
must be completely removed prior to using low-velocity clean wa-
ter rinse.
PERIODIC CLEAN WATER RINSE
A periodic clean water rinse is very beneficial for coils that are ap-
plied in coastal or industrial environments. However, it is very im-
portant that the water rinse is made with a very low-velocity water
stream to avoid damaging the fin edges. Monthly cleaning as de-
scribed below is recommended.
ROUTINE CLEANING OF COIL SURFACES
Periodic cleaning with Totaline®environmentally sound coil
cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. This cleaner is avail-
able from Replacement Components Division as P/N: P902-0301
for a one gallon (3.8L) container, and P902-0305 for a 5 gallon
(18.9L) container. It is recommended that all coils, including stan-
dard aluminum, pre-coated, copper/copper or e-coated coils be
cleaned with the Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner as
described below.
Coil cleaning should be part of the unit’s regularly scheduled
maintenance procedures to ensure long life of the coil. Failure to
clean the coils may result in reduced durability in the environment.
Avoid use of:
• coil brighteners
• acid cleaning prior to painting
• high pressure washers
• poor quality water for cleaning
Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner is a nonflammable,
hypo-allergenic, non bacterial, USDA accepted biodegradable
agent that will not harm the coil or surrounding components such
as electrical wiring, painted metal surfaces, or insulation. Use of
non-recommended coil cleaners is strongly discouraged since coil
and unit durability could be affected.
Two-Row Coils
Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power and tag the disconnect.
2. Remove the top panel screws on the condenser end of the
unit.
3. Remove the condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 11.
4. Lift and hold the top cover open.
5. Hold the top pan open by placing the coil corner post
between the top panel and center post. See Fig. 12.
6. Remove the screws securing the coil to the compressor
plate and compressor access panel.
7. Remove the fasteners holding the coil sections together at
the return end of the condenser coil. Carefully separate the
outer coil section 3 to 4-in. from the inner coil section. See
Fig. 13.
8. Clean the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal
manner. Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to
flush down between the 2 coil sections to remove dirt and
debris.
9. Secure the inner and outer coil rows together with a field-
supplied fastener.
10. Reposition the outer coil section and remove the coil cor-
ner post from between the top panel and center post. Rein-
stall the coil corner post and access panel.
11. Replace all screws.

EVAPORATOR COILS
The evaporator coil uses the traditional round-tube, plate-fin
(RTPF) technology. Tube and fin construction consists of vari-
ous optional materials and coatings (see Appendix A for Model
Number Nomenclature). Coils are multiple-row. On two-com-
pressor units, the evaporator coil is a face split design, meaning
the two refrigerant circuits are independent in the coil. The bot-
tom portion of the coil will always be circuit A, with the top of
the coil being circuit B.
Coil Maintenance and Cleaning Recommendation
Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain proper
operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and removal of
harmful residues will greatly increase the life of the coil and ex-
tend the life of the unit. The following maintenance and cleaning
procedures are recommended as part of the routine maintenance
activities to extend the life of the coil.
Removing Surface Loaded Fibers
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a vacuum
cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic
bristle brush can be used. In either case, the tool should be applied
in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily damaged.
Applying the tool across the fin edges can cause the edges to be
easily bent over, damaging the coating of a protected coil.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose, against a
surface-loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil. This
will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface-loaded fibers
must be completely removed prior to using a low-velocity clean
water rinse. A vacuum cleaner or a soft-bristled brush should be
used to remove surface-loaded fibers and dirt.
Periodic Clean Water Rinse
A periodic clean-water rinse is very beneficial for coils that are
used in coastal or industrial environments. However, it is very im-
portant that the water rinse is made with a very low-velocity water

TOTALINE ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND COIL
CLEANER APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Proper protection such as safety glasses, gloves and pro-
tective clothing are recommended during mixing and
application.
2. Remove all surface loaded fibers and dirt with a vacuum
cleaner as described above.
3. Thoroughly wet finned surfaces with clean water and a
low velocity garden hose, being careful not to bend fins.
4. Mix Totaline environmentally sound coil cleaner in a
21/2gallon (9.6 L) garden sprayer according to the instruc-
tions included with the cleaner. The optimum solution
temperature is 100°F (38°C).
NOTE: Do NOT USE water in excess of 130°F (54°C), as the en-
zymatic activity will be destroyed.
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution can result in severe personal inju-
ry and reduced unit performance.
High velocity water from a pressure washer, garden hose, or
compressed air should never be used to clean a coil. The force
of the water or air jet will bend the fin edges and increase air-
side pressure drop.
High velocity water from a pressure washer can cause severe
injury upon contact with exposed bodily tissue. Always direct
the water stream away from the body.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in accelerated
corrosion of unit parts.
Harsh chemicals, household bleach or acid or basic cleaners
should not be used to clean outdoor or indoor coils of any kind.
These cleaners can be very difficult to rinse out of the coil and
can accelerate corrosion at the fin/tube interface where
dissimilar materials are in contact. If there is dirt below the
surface of the coil, use the environmentally balanced coil
cleaner.

5. Thoroughly apply Totaline environmentally sound coil
cleaner solution to all coil surfaces, including finned area,
tube sheets and coil headers.
6. Hold the garden sprayer nozzle close to finned areas and
apply cleaner with a vertical, up-and-down motion.
7. Avoid spraying in a horizontal pattern to minimize poten-
tial for fin damage.
8. Make sure the cleaner thoroughly penetrates deep into the
finned areas.
9. Interior and exterior finned areas must be thoroughly
cleaned.
10. Finned surfaces should remain wet with cleaning solution
for 10 minutes.
11. Make sure surfaces are not allowed to dry before rinsing.
Reapply cleaner as needed to ensure 10 minute saturation
is achieved.
12. Thoroughly rinse all surfaces with low-velocity clean
water using a downward rinsing motion of the spray noz-
zle. Protect fins from damage from the spray nozzle.
Evaporator Coil Metering Devices
The metering devices are multiple fixed-bore devices (Acutrol™)
swedged into the horizontal outlet tubes from the liquid header, lo-
cated at the entrance to each evaporator coil circuit path. These are
non-adjustable. Service requires replacing the entire liquid header
assembly.
To check for possible blockage of one or more of these metering
devices, disconnect the supply fan contactor (IFC) coil, then start
the compressor and observe the frosting pattern on the face of the
evaporator coil. A frost pattern should develop uniformly across
the face of the coil starting at each horizontal header tube. Failure
to develop frost at an outlet tube can indicate a plugged or a miss-
ing orifice.
Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
There are two access ports in the system - on the suction tube near
the compressor and on the discharge tube near the compressor.
These are brass fittings with black plastic caps. The hose connec-
tion fittings are standard 1/4-in. SAE male flare couplings.
The brass fittings are two-piece High Flow valves, with a recep-
tacle base brazed to the tubing and an integral spring-closed
check valve core screwed into the base (see Fig. 14). This
Schrader valve is permanently assembled into this core body and
cannot be serviced separately; replace the entire core body if
necessary. Service tools are available from RCD (P/N: P920-
0010) that allow the replacement of the schrader valve core
without having to recover the entire system refrigerant charge.
Apply compressor refrigerant oil to the schrader valve core’s
bottom o-ring. Install the fitting body with 96 ± 10 in.-lb (10.85
± 1.13 Nm) of torque; do not overtighten.
NOTE: The High-Flow valve has a black plastic cap with a rubber
o-ring located inside the cap. This rubber o-ring must be in place
in the cap to prevent refrigerant leaks.

PERFECT HUMIDITY™ ADAPTIVE DEHUMIDI-
FICATION SYSTEM
Units with the factory-equipped Perfect Humidity option are capa-
ble of providing multiple modes of improved dehumidification as
a variation of the normal cooling cycle. See Fig 15. The design of
the Perfect Humidity system allows for two humidity control
modes of operation of the rooftop unit, utilizing a common sub-
cooling/reheat dehumidification coil located downstream of the
standard evaporator coil. This allows the rooftop unit to operate in
both a dehumidification (Subcooling) mode and a hot gas (Reheat)
mode for maximum system flexibility. The Perfect Humidity
package is factory-installed and will operate whenever there is a
dehumidification requirement present.
The Perfect Humidity system is initiated based on an input from a
discrete input from a mechanical space or return air humidistat.
Perfect Humidity Modes
NORMAL COOLING FOR UNITS K17 - K28
During the Normal Cooling mode, the liquid refrigerant flows
from the outdoor condenser through the normally open (NO)
Cooling System Valve (CSV) to the expansion device. Both the
Reheat1 (RH1.x) and Reheat2 (RH2) valves are closed during the
normal cooling mode.
During the Normal Cooling mode, the refrigerant flows from the
outdoor compressor through the condenser coil. The Reheat2
(RH2.x) is closed, preventing the refrigerant from bypassing the
condenser coil. The refrigerant then flows through the open Re-
heat2 (RH1.x) 3-way valve to the TXV Metering Device, bypass-
ing the Perfect Humidity coil, and finally passing through the
evaporator coil before returning to the outdoor compressor. See
Fig 15.
REHEAT1 (SUBCOOLING MODE) FOR UNITS K17 - K28
The Reheat1 or Subcooling mode will be engaged to satisfy part-
load type conditions when there is a space call for cooling and de-
humidification. Although the temperature could have dropped and
decreased the sensible load in the space, the outdoor and/or space
humidity levels could have risen. A typical scenario could be
when the outside air is 85°F (29°C) with 70% to 80% relative hu-
midity (RH). Desired Sensible Heat Ratio (SHR) for equipment in
this scenario is typically from 0.4 to 0.7. The Perfect Humidity
unit will initiate the Dehumidification mode when both the space
temperature and humidity are above the temperature and humidity
setpoints while attempting to meet both setpoint requirements.
Once the humidity requirement is met, the unit can continue to op-
erate in normal cooling mode to meet any remaining sensible ca-
pacity load. Alternatively, if the sensible load is met and humidity
levels remain high the unit can switch to Hot Gas Reheat mode or
Reheat2 mode to provide neutral, dehumidified air.
During the Reheat1 or Subcooling mode, the liquid refrigerant
flows from the outdoor compressor through the condenser coil to
the Reheat1 (RH1.x) 3-way valve and on to the Humid-MiZer
coil. The Reheat2 (RH2.x) valve is closed. The liquid refrigerant
then passes through the Humid-MiZer coil and then a metering de-
vice or Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV). From the TXV, the
liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator coil and back to
the outdoor compressor. See Fig 16.
REHEAT2 (HOT GAS REHEAT MODE) FOR K17 - K28
The Reheat2 or Hot Gas Reheat mode is used when dehumidifica-
tion is required without a need for cooling, such as when the out-
side air is at a neutral temperature, but high humidity exists. This
situation requires the equipment to operate at a low SHR of 0.0 to
0.2. With no cooling requirement calling for dehumidification, the
Perfect Humidity adaptive dehumidification system will energize
both compressors, opening the two hot gas bypass valves, allow-
ing refrigerant flow to the Perfect Humidity coil to reheat the
unit’s supply air to a neutral temperature.
The hot bypassed refrigerant liquid (gas or two-phase mixture) ex-
its the outdoor compressor and passes through the open Reheat1
(RH1.x) at the same time it passes through the condenser coil to
the open Reheat2 (Rh2.x) to the Perfect Humidity coil. After the
refrigerant passes through the Perfect Humidity coil, it enters a
TXV metering device, decreasing the air pressure, and on to the
evaporator coil. The refrigerant is subcooled in this coil to a tem-
perature approaching the evaporator leaving air temperature. The
liquid refrigerant then returns to the outdoor compressor. See
Fig. 17.
The refrigerant enters the TXV and evaporator coil at a tempera-
ture lower than the temperature in the standard cooling operation.
This lower temperature increases the latent capacity of the evapo-
rator. The refrigerant passes through the evaporator turning it into
a superheated vapor. The air passing over the evaporator coil be-
comes colder than it would during normal operation. As this same
air passes over the Perfect Humidity Reheat Coil, it will be
warmed to the neutral supply air temperature.
PERFECT HUMIDITY SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Perfect Humidity System uses the standard unit compres-
sor(s), evaporator coil and Round Tube-Plate Fin (RTPF) con-
denser coil. Additional refrigeration system hardware includes a
subcooler/reheat coil and control solenoid valves. On some mod-
els, the evaporator coil includes a TXV as a standard feature. Units
with Perfect Humidity FIOP also include a factory-installed head
pressure control system (Motormaster I) to provide proper liquid
pressure during reheat modes. Unique system controls include a
reheat relay mode, and evaporator coil freezestat, and secondary
low pressure switch.
OPERATING SEQUENCES
The Perfect Humidity system provides three sub-modes of opera-
tion: Normal Cooling, Reheat1 and Reheat2.
The Reheat1 and Reheat2 modes are available when the unit is not
in a heating mode and when the Low Ambient Lockout Switch is
closed.
When there is both cooling demand (thermostat Y1 demand) and
dehumidification demand, circuit 1 will operate in Subcooling
(Reheat1) mode. See Fig. 16 for system refrigerant flow.
When there is only a single cooling demand, one or both circuits
will operate in Hot Gas (Reheat2) mode. The DSV solenoid valve
is open and the CSV solenoid is closed. See Fig. 17 for system re-
frigerant flow.
SUBCOOLER/REHEAT COIL
The Subcooler/Reheat Coil is mounted across the leaving face of
the unit’s evaporator coil. The coil is a one-row design with two
separate circuits.

THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE (TXV)
All 551J units have a factory installed nonadjustable thermostatic
expansion valve (TXV). The TXV will be a bi-flow, bleed port ex-
pansion valve with an external equalizer. TXVs are specifically
designed to operate with Puron or R-22 refrigerant, use only facto-
ry authorized TXVs. See Fig. 18.
TXV Operation
The TXV is a metering device that is used in air conditioning and
heat pump systems to adjust to changing load conditions by main-
taining a preset superheat temperature at the outlet of the evapora-
tor coil.
The volume of refrigerant metered through the valve seat is de-
pendent upon the following:
1. Superheat temperature is sensed by the cap tube sensing
bulb on suction the tube at the outlet of evaporator coil.
This temperature is converted into pressure by refrigerant
in the bulb pushing downward on the diaphragm which
opens the valve using the push rods.
2. The suction pressure at the outlet of the evaporator coil is
transferred through the external equalizer tube to the
underside of the diaphragm.
3. The needle valve on the pin carrier is spring loaded, exert-
ing pressure on the underside of the diaphragm. Therefore,
the bulb pressure equals the evaporator pressure (at the
outlet of the coil) plus the spring pressure. If the evapora-
tor load increases, the temperature increases at the bulb,
which increases the pressure on the topside of the dia-
phragm, pushing the carrier away from the seat, opening
the valve and increasing the flow of refrigerant. The
increased refrigerant flow causes increased leaving evapo-
rator pressure which is transferred through the equalizer
tube to the underside of the diaphragm. This causes the pin
carrier spring pressure to close the TXV valve. The refrig-
erant flow is effectively stabilized to the load demand with
a negligible change in superheat.
REPLACING TXV
1. Disconnect all AC power to the unit. Use approved lock-
out/tag-out procedures.
2. Using the gage set approved for use with Puron (R-410A)
refrigerant, recover all refrigerant from the system.
3. Remove the TXV support clamp.
4. Disconnect the liquid line at the TXV inlet.
5. Remove the liquid line connection at the TXV inlet.
6. Remove the equalizer tube from the suction line of the

8. Install the new TXV; avoid damage to the tubing or the
valve when attaching the TXV to the distributor. Protect
the TXV against over-temperature conditions by using wet
rags and directing the torch flame tip away from the TXV
body. Connect the liquid line to the TXV inlet by repeating
the above process.
9. Attach the equalizer tube to the suction line. If the replace-
ment TXV has a flare nut on its equalizer line, use a tubing
cutter to remove the mechanical flare nut from the equal-
izer. Then use a coupling to braze the equalizer line to the
stub (previous equalizer line) in the suction line.
10. Attach the TXV bulb in the same location as the original
(in the sensing bulb indent), wrap the bulb in protective
insulation and secure using the supplied bulb clamp. See
Fig. 19 and 20.
11. Route the equalizer tube through the suction connection
opening (large hole) in the fitting panel and install the fit-
ting panel in place.
12. Sweat the inlet of the TXV marked “IN” to the liquid line.
Avoid excessive heat which could damage the valve.
13. Check for leaks.
14. Evacuate the system completely and then recharge.
15. Remove the lockout/tag-out on the main power switch and
restore power to the unit.
16. Complete the charging procedure.

Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports
There are two access ports in the system: on the suction tube near
the compressor, and on the discharge tube near the compressor.
These are brass fittings with black plastic caps. The hose connec-
tion fittings are standard 1/4-in. SAE male flare couplings. See
Fig. 14.
The brass fittings are two-piece High Flow valves, with a recepta-
cle base brazed to the tubing and an integral spring-closed check
valve core screwed into the base. This check valve is permanently
assembled into this core body and cannot be serviced separately;
replace the entire core body if necessary. Service tools are avail-
able from RCD that allow the replacement of the check valve core
without having to recover the entire system refrigerant charge. Ap-
ply compressor refrigerant oil to the check valve core’s bottom o-
ring. Install the fitting body with 96 ±10 in.-lb of torque; do not
over-tighten.

PURON®(R-410A) REFRIGERANT
This unit is designed for use with Puron (R-410A) refrigerant. Do
not use any other refrigerant in this system.
Puron (R-410A) refrigerant is provided in pink (rose) colored cyl-
inders. These cylinders are available with and without dip tubes;
cylinders with dip tubes will have a label indicating this feature.
For a cylinder with a dip tube, place the cylinder in the upright po-
sition (access valve at the top) when removing liquid refrigerant
for charging. For a cylinder without a dip tube, invert the cylinder,
with the access valve located on the bottom, when adding liquid
refrigerant.
Because Puron (R-410A) refrigerant is a blend, it is strongly rec-
ommended that refrigerant always be removed from the cylinder
as a liquid. Admit liquid refrigerant into the system in the dis-
charge line when breaking the refrigerant system vacuum while
the compressor is OFF. Only add refrigerant (liquid) into the suc-
tion line while the compressor is operating. If adding refrigerant
into the suction line, use a commercial metering/expansion device
at the gage manifold; remove liquid from the cylinder, pass it
through the metering device at the gage set, and then pass it into
the suction line as a vapor. Do not remove Puron (R-410A) refrig-
erant from the cylinder as a vapor.
Refrigerant Charge
Unit panels must be in place when the unit is operating during the
charging procedure. To prepare the unit for charge adjustment:
NO CHARGE
Use standard evacuating techniques. Evacuate the system down to
500 microns and let set for 10 minutes to determine if the system
has a refrigerant leak. If the evacuation level raises to
1100 microns and stabilizes, then the system has moisture in it and
should be dehydrated as GTAC2-5 recommends.
If the system continues to rise above 1100 microns, then the sys-
tem has a leak and should be pressurized and leak tested using ap-
propriate techniques as explained in GTAC2-5. After evacuating
the system, weigh in the specified amount of refrigerant as listed
on the unit's rating plate.
LOW-CHARGE COOLING
Using the Cooling Charging Charts (Fig. 21-24), vary the refriger-
ant until the conditions of the appropriate chart are met. Note the
charging charts are different from the type normally used. These
charts are based on charging the units to the correct superheat for
the various operating conditions. Accurate pressure gage and
temperature sensing devices are required. Connect the pressure

CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to compo-
nents.
The compressor is in a R-410A refrigerant system and uses a
polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely hygroscopic,
meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can absorb
15 times as much water as other oils designed for HCFC and
CFC refrigerants. Avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.

gage to the service port on the suction line. Mount the temperature
sensing device on the suction line and insulate it so the outdoor
ambient temperature does not affect the reading. Indoor-air cfm
must be within the normal operating range of the unit.
Using the Cooling Charging Charts
Take the outdoor coil leaving refrigerant temperature and read the
compressor discharge pressure gage. Refer to the chart to deter-
mine what the leaving temperature should be. If the leaving tem-
perature is high, add refrigerant.
If the leaving temperature is low, carefully recover some of the
charge. Recheck the compressor discharge pressure as the charge
is adjusted.
Select the appropriate unit charging chart from Fig. 21-24.
Note the outdoor coil leaving refrigerant temperature and read the
compressor discharge pressure gage. Refer to the chart to deter-
mine what the leaving temperature should be. If the leaving tem-
perature is high, add refrigerant. If the leaving temperature is low,
carefully recover some of the charge. Recheck the compressor dis-
charge pressure as the charge is adjusted.
For sizes 17-28, perform this procedure once for Circuit A and
once for Circuit B.
