SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and equipment location (roof, elevated structures, etc.). Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should install, start up, and service this equipment. When working on this equipment, observe precautions in the literature, and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment, and any other safety precautions that apply. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use care in handling, rigging, and setting this equipment, and in handling all electrical components.
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut off all power to this equipment during installation and service. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Tag all disconnects locations to alert others not to restore power until work is completed.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to un-braze factory joints when servicing this equipment. Compressor oil is flammable and there is no way to detect how much oil may be in any of the refrigerant lines. Cut lines with a tubing cutter as required when performing service. Use a pan to catch any oil that may come out of the lines and as a gage for how much oil to add to system. DO NOT re-use compressor oil. Do NOT leave refrigerant system open to air any longer than necessary. Seal circuits being serviced and charge with dry nitrogen to prevent oil contamination when timely repairs cannot be completed
WARNING
To prevent potential damage to heat exchanger tubes always run fluid through heat exchangers when adding or removing refrigerant charge. Use appropriate brine solutions in cooler loop to prevent the freezing of heat exchangers when the equipment is exposed to temperatures below 32 o F (0 o C).
DO NOT VENT refrigerant relief valves within a building. Outlet from relief valves must be vented outdoors in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI/ASHRAE (American National Standards Institute/American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) 15 (Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration). The accumulation of refrigerant in an enclosed space can displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation. Provide adequate ventilation in enclosed or low overhead areas.
Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may cause heart irregularities, unconsciousness or death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygen available for breathing.
Product causes eye and skin irritation.
Decomposition products are hazardous.
WARNING
This unit uses a microprocessor-based electronic control system. Do not use jumpers or other tools to short out components, or to bypass or otherwise depart from recommended procedures. Any short-to-ground of the control board or accompanying wiring may destroy the electronic modules or electrical components.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE 15 or any applicable ships registration society. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapor is harmful and may case heart irregularities, unconsciousness, or death. Misuse can be fatal. Vapor is heavier than air and reduces the amount of oxygen available for breathing. Product causes eye and skin irritation. Decomposition products are hazardous.
DO NOT USE OXYGEN to purge lines or to pressurize equipment for any purpose. Oxygen reacts violently with oil, grease and other common substances.

DO AVOID SPILLING liquid refrigerant on skin or getting it into the eyes. Use safety goggles.
Wash any spills from the skin with soap and water. If liquid refrigerant enters the eyes, immediately flush eyes with water and consult a physician.
NEVER APPLY AN OPEN FLAME OR LIVE
STEAM TO A REFRIGERANT CYLINDER.
Dangerous over pressure can result. When it is necessary to heat refrigerant, use only warm (110ºF [43ºC] ) water.
DO NOT REUSE DISPOSABLE
(NONRETURNABLE) CYLINDERS or attempt to refill them. It is dangerous and illegal. When cylinder is emptied, evacuate remaining gas pressure, loosen the collar and unscrew and discard the valve stem. Do not incinerate.
CHECK THE REFRIGERANT TYPE BEFORE
ADDING REFRIGERANT. The introduction of the wrong refrigerant can cause damage or malfunction. Operation of this equipment with refrigerants other than those cited herein is not to be allowed. Information on the refrigerant used in this application is provided in Major Component Specifications. Contact Carrier for information on use of this equipment with other refrigerants.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE fittings, covers, etc., while equipment is under pressure or while equipment is running. Be sure pressure is at 0 psig (0 kPa) before breaking any refrigerant connection.
CAREFULLY INSPECT all relief devices, rupture discs, and other relief devices at least once a year. If equipment operates in a corrosive atmosphere, inspect the devices at more frequent intervals.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR
RECONDITION ANY RELIEF DEVICE when corrosion or build-up of foreign material (rust, dirt, scale, etc.) is found within the valve body or mechanism. Replace the device.
DO NOT install relief devices in series or backwards.
CAUTION
DO NOT step on refrigerant lines. Broken lines can whip about and release refrigerant, causing personal injury
DO NOT climb on equipment. Use platform, catwalk, or staging. Follow safe practices when using ladders.
USE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT (crane, hoist, etc.) to lift or move inspection covers or other heavy components. Even if components are light, use mechanical equipment when there is a risk of slipping or losing your balance.
BE AWARE that certain automatic start arrangements can engage the starter, or pumps. Open disconnect ahead of the starter, or pumps.
USE only repair or replacement parts that meet the code requirements of the original equipment.

DO NOT LOOSEN a packing gland nut before checking that the nut has a positive thread engagement.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT all valves, fittings, and piping for corrosion, rust, leaks, or damage.
PROVIDE A REMOVABLE DRAIN connection in the vent line near each pressure relief device to prevent a build-up of condensate or rainwater.
During Piping Connecting. Applying current to the grounded side of this machine could cause damage to electronic devices such as temperature sensors, pressure transducers sensitive electronic boards and other microprocessor devices. If weld repairs are necessary, all electronic devices mentioned should be removed or isolated from the machine. It is recommended that welded components such as piping flanges be unbolted and welded away from the machine then re-bolted to the machine.
REFRIGERANT LINE BREAKAGE.
In the unlikely event of a refrigerant line break, operators should evacuate all personnel from the affected space. Refrigerant in enclosed spaces will displace air and could lead to oxygen deficiency, which could cause asphyxiation. Area should be sealed off. Air in this space should be exhausted to outdoors and fresh make-up air should be piped in. The area should not be entered until it has been deemed safe by authorized personnel.

GENERAL
This publication contains Start-Up, Installation, Service, Controls, Operation, and Troubleshooting information for the 90RMC050 seawater-cooled chiller.
This liquid chiller is equipped with ComfortLink controls, conventional (non-electronic) thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs) and Reciprocating Compressors with 2 unloader heads per compressor. They are also equipped with liquid line solenoid valves (LLSV) for pump down at start up.
MAJOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS
General The 90RMC050 seawater-cooled reciprocating chillers contain the ComfortLink™ electronic control system that controls and monitors all operations of the chiller.
The control system is composed of several components as listed in the sections below.
The drawings for the control panel are as follows:
See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 10 for Control Box Component Arrangement drawing.
See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 8 for Power and Control Schematics.
See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 9 for Low Voltage Schematics.
Main Base Board (MBB) See Figure 1. The MBB is the heart of the ComfortLink control system. It contains the major portion of operating software and controls the operation of the machine. The MBB continuously monitors input/output channel information received from its inputs and from all other modules. The MBB receives inputs from Thermistors T1, T2, T3, and T4.
The MBB also receives the feedback inputs from compressors A1 and B1 and other status switches. See Table 2. The MBB also controls several outputs.
Relay outputs controlled by the MBB are shown in Table 4. Information is transmitted between modules via a 3-wire communication bus or LEN (Local Equipment Network). The CCN (Carrier Comfort Network) bus is also supported. Connections to both LEN and CCN buses are made at TB3. See Figure 2.
Scrolling Marquee Display This device is the keypad interface used for accessing chiller information, reading sensor values, and testing the chiller. The marquee display is a 4-key, 4-character, 16-segment LED (light-emitting diode) display. Eleven mode LEDs are located on the display as well as an Alarm Status LED. See Marquee Display Usage section on page 28 for further details.
Compressor Expansion Board (CXB) The compressor expansion board (CXB) receives the feedback inputs from compressors A1 and B1. See Table 2. The CXB board communicates the status to the MBB and controls the outputs for these compressors.
Start Interlock Switch, SW3 The Start Interlock Switch is a momentary switch with an illuminated lens. This switch will need to be depressed after power has been applied to the control panel. Then the SW3 is depressed, power will energize the switch and Relay (R-1). The normally open contacts 8 and 4 on R-1 will close completing the holding circuit on this momentary switch. The green lens will now be energized; also the normally open contacts 5 and 1 on R-1 will close allowing power from SW1 to energize the MBB.
To de-energize SW3 control panel power will need to be shut-down.
Enable/Off/Remote Contact Switch, SW1 The Enable/Off/Remote Contact switch is a 3-position switch used to control the chiller. When switched to the Enable position the chiller is under its own control. Move the switch to the off position to shut the chiller down. Move the switch to the Remote Contact position and a field installed dry contact can be used to start the chiller. The contacts must be rated for dry circuit application capable of handling a 5-vdc, 1- to 20-mA load. In the Enable and Remote Contact (dry contacts closed) positions, the chiller is allowed to operate and respond to the scheduling configuration, CCN configuration and set point data. See Figure No. 2.
Emergency On/Off Switch, SW2 The Emergency On/Off switch should only be used when it is required to shut the chiller off immediately. Power to MBB, and marquee display is interrupted when this switch is off and all out-puts from this module will be turned off.
Board Addresses The Main Base Board (MBB) has a 3-position Instance jumper that must be set to ‘1.’ The Compressor Expansion Board has a 4-position DIP switch. All switches are set to ‘On’.
Control Module Communication RED LED — Proper operation of the control boards can be visually checked by looking at the red status LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
When operating correctly, the red status LEDs should be blinking in unison at a rate of once every 2 seconds. If the red LEDs are not blinking in unison, verify that correct power is being supplied to all modules. Be sure that the Main Base Board (MBB) Is supplied with the current software. If necessary, reload current software. If the problem still persists, replace the MBB. A board LED that is lit continuously or blinking at a rate of once per second or faster indicates that the board should be replaced.
GREEN LED — The MBB has one green LED.
The Local Equipment Network (LEN) LED should always be blinking whenever power is
on. All other boards have a LEN LED, which should be blinking whenever power is on.
Check LEN connections for potential communication errors at the board J3 and/or J4 connectors. A 3-wire sensor bus accomplishes communication between modules. These 3 wires run in parallel from module to module.
The J4 connector on the MBB provides both power and communication directly to the marquee display only.
YELLOW LED — The MBB has one yellow LED. The Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) LED will blink during times of network communication.
Compressor The Compressor is a Reciprocating, serviceable, semi-hermetic type. Equipped with an automatically reversible oil pump, operating oil charge, suction and discharge shutoff valves, oil sight glass, and a refrigerant suction gas-cooled motor.
Each shall be mounted on spring vibration isolators with an isolation efficiency of no less than 95%.
Each compressor shall have a crankcase heater, muffler, and suction cutoff unloaders.
Speed not to exceed 1750 rpm (29.2 r/s).
Cooler Assembly Single-pass, shell-and-tube type with removable heads and multiple internal polypropylene baffles. Seamless copper tubes shall be rolled into tube sheets.
Direct-expansion type, positioned for multi-pass refrigerant flow. Baffles are designed for minimum fluid-pressure drop direct fluid flow across the tube bundle. The tubes have integral internal fins for maximum heat transfer efficiency. Viewed from unit front, the return chilled fluid enters at the left end of the cooler and leaves at the right end. The sensing bulb for the factory-supplied fluid temperature controller is in the leaving-fluid nozzle; the leaving-fluid temperature being the control point. The cooler is insulated with ¾” (19 mm) closed-cell plastic foam insulation of suitable thickness. Water vapor cannot penetrate the cellular structure to condense either within cells or on the cooler shell. Thus, the insulation itself is a vapor barrier. Because of the toughness of insulation, a protective sheet metal covering is not necessary.
The Water Connections are 3” raised Face ANSI Flange.
Cooler shall be tested and stamped according to ASME code (U.S.A.) for working pressures of 235 psig (1620 kPa) on the refrigerant side.
Cooler shall have a maximum of 150 psig (1034 kPa) fluid-side working pressure.
Condenser Assembly The Shell is Steel pipe to ASME specification.
Shells are shot blasted and cleaned prior to assembly. Tubes are 90/10 Copper-Nickel high performance enhanced design roller expanded into grooved tube sheet. Tube sheet - 90/10 Copper-Nickel to ASME specifications. Tube Supports - Quality steel manufactured to close tolerance to minimize vibration. The Heads are Cast bronze to withstand the corrosive effects of seawater duty. The Water Connections are 2-1/2” raised Face ANSI Flange. Refrigerant connections are steel and bored to ODS of copper tubing. Relief, vent and drain connections are provided. Codes - The refrigerant side is constructed to the latest edition of the ASME Section VIII Div 1 code and stamped. Refrigerant side dual-rated for 450 psi at 150°F or 305 psi at 250°F. Water side design pressure is 150°F at 150 psi. Both circuits are tested at 1.25 times the design pressure.
Oil Safety Switch The Oil Safety Switch is Standard on 90RMC050 units. This switch senses differential oil pressure and prevents unit operation at low oil pressures.
Compressor Ground Fault Sensor Ground-current sensing shall de-energize the Compressor on sensing of a 2.5 ± 2 amps current imbalance from primary to ground to prevent formation of acids from motor burnout.
Non-Fused Disconnect The non-fused disconnect shall be factory installed and shall disconnect all power to the unit (including control circuit power).
Water Regulating Valve Metrex valves control water flow in response to pressure changes. Pressure actuated values modulate the water flow in response to a pressure signal and are primarily used to stabilize the refrigerant head pressure in the water cooled air conditioning systems.
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) Interface (Not supplied with the 90RMC050) The 90RMC050 chiller unit can be connected to the CCN if desired. The communication bus wiring is a shielded, 3-conductor cable with drain wire and is supplied and installed in the field. See Table 5. The system elements are connected to the communication bus in a daisy chain arrangement. The positive pin of each system element communication connector must be wired to the positive pins of the system elements on either side of it. This is also required for the negative and signal ground pins of each system element. Wiring connections for CCN should be made at TB3.
Consult the CCN Contractor’s Manual for further information. NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be 20 AWG (American Wire Gage) minimum stranded, tinned copper.
Individual conductors must be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon, vinyl, Teflon, or polyethylene.
An aluminum/polyester 100% foil shield and an outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl, or Teflon with a minimum operating temperature range of –20 C to 60 C is required.
Wire manufactured by Alpha (2413 or 5463), American (A22503), Belden (8772), or Columbia (02525) meets the above-mentioned requirements. It is important when connecting to a CCN communication bus that a color-coding scheme be used for the entire network to simplify the installation. It is recommended that red be used for the signal positive, black for the signal negative, and white for the signal ground. Use a similar scheme for cables containing different colored wires. At each system element, the shields of its communication bus cables must be tied together. If the communication bus is entirely within one building, the resulting continuous shield must be connected to a ground at one point only. If the communication bus cable exits from one building and enters another, the shields must be connected to grounds at the lightning suppressor in each building where the cable enters or exits the building (one point per building only). To connect the unit to the network:
Turn off power to the control box.
Cut the CCN wire and strip the ends of the red (+), white (ground), and black (–) conductors.
(Substitute appropriate colors for different colored cables.)
Connect the red wire to (+) terminal on TB3 of the plug, the white wire to COM terminal, and the black wire to the (–) terminal.
The RJ14 CCN connector on TB3 can also be used, but is only intended for temporary connection (for example, a laptop computer running Service Tool).
IMPORTANT: A shorted CCN bus cable will prevent some routines from running and may prevent the unit from starting. If abnormal conditions occur, unplug the connector. If conditions return to normal, check the CCN connector and cable. Run new cable if necessary. A short in one section of the bus can cause problems with all system elements on the bus.

INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
This assembly and installation instruction covers the 90RMC050 unit with ComfortLink controls. These units are Seawater Cooled and have mechanically cleanable condenser that is specifically designed for seawater applications.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service technicians should install, start up, and service this equipment.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment.
Follow all safety codes.
Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky equipment.
WARNING
Be sure all power to equipment is shut off before performing maintenance or service.
There may be more than one disconnect. Tag all disconnects to alert others not to turn on power until work is completed.
Location Do not store units in an area exposed to weather because of sensitive control mechanisms and electronic devices. Locate unit indoors. See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6- Sheet 5 for assembled unit dimensional details.
Allow 36 in. (914 mm) in front of the unit for control box access door. Prior to installation determine which direction compressor will be removed, and leave 3 to 4 ft (914 to 1219 mm) clearance for removal.
On the 90RMC050-D-610 units leave 7.2 ft.
(2180 mm) clearance on one side for cooler tube removal. Leave 2 ft (610 mm) clearance on the other side for making fluid connections to cooler and water connections to condenser.
See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 5. The floor must be strong enough to support the unit operating weight (see Drawing 90RMC050-D-6- Sheet 5). If necessary, add a supporting structure (steel beams or reinforced concrete slabs) to the floor to transfer weight to nearest beams.
WARNING
Be sure interconnecting piping and electrical conduits are suspended freely, and are not in contact with any adjacent walls. Be sure unit capillaries are not rubbing against anything.
Inspect Shipment Inspect unit for damage or missing parts. Refer to Drawings 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 1 (Modular Components), 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 2 (Piping Assemblies), and 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 3 (Mounting Hardware). If damaged, or if shipment is incomplete, file a claim immediately with the shipping company.
Rigging the Components See drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 1 (Modular Components) for the lifting point that have be identified for each of the Components. The weights are also listed on the same drawing. If components are to be moved by forklift truck, when moving from the ends, leave components on the skid. Lift from under the skid. If components are to be dragged into final position, or moved on rollers, it is recommended that it be left on the skid. When dragging or rolling, apply force only to the skid, not to the components. Lift from above, using the lifting points provided, to remove components from the skid.
Place the Condenser Assembly The base of the Condenser Assembly will be moved into final position, remove skid, level the unit (using a level), and bolt the unit to floor or pad. NOTE: If it is necessary to locate the unit on an upper floor, be sure the structure has been designed to support the unit weight. If necessary, add structural support to floor. Also, be sure the surface for installation is level.
Refer to Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 5 for space requirements and weights. Electrical power connections, water connections for condenser, and fluid connections for cooler are required for Installation.
Assembly of Modular Chiller Follow the Assembly Instruction outline in Steps #1 – 46 that detail the step-by-step Assembling of the 90RMC050-D-6 Seawater Modular Chiller. See Appendix Section E for
“Unit Assembly Instructions of the 90RMC050- D-6 Modular Chiller”.
Final Check Compressor Mounting and Connections
Self-locking nuts for shipping hold down the compressor mounting springs. After unit has been assembled and new nuts from hardware bag #2 have been installed, (see Assembly Instructions Steps 16A, 16B and 16C) tighten the self-locking nuts until compressor floats freely, (Fig. 27). Do not over tighten nuts, as they are self-locking and will hold their locked position.
Make Piping Connections See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 5 and 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 6 for typical piping connections. All piping must follow standard piping techniques. Refer to Carrier System Design Manual part 3, Carrier E20-II Software Refrigeration piping Program or appropriate ASHREA (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers) handbook for details on proper pipe sizing and design.
CONDENSER DESCRIPTION
These units use a shell-and-tube condenser with removable heads for easy tube servicing.
Refrigerant is contained within the shell, and water flows through the tubes. These units have a steel shell condenser with 90/10 Copper-Nickel tube sheets and 90/10 Copper- Nickel tubes. In addition, the water heads utilize “sacrificial” zinc anodes for condenser corrosion protection.
IMPORTANT
Inspect the zinc anodes every 3 months for deterioration and replace as needed. Galvanic protection of the condenser is lost if the anodes are not replaced prior to complete deterioration.
There are (2) zinc anodes on each condenser assembly located in the head assembly, opposite nozzle end of the condenser. They are 3/8” NPT. See Figure 4 for location.
90RMC050 CONDENSERS
When facing the front of the unit, the condensers are in the un-insulated shells located across the bottom of the unit. The water connections are such that the water inlet is located on the end of the unit. There are (2) inlets (one for each condenser assembly) water inlet must ALWAYS be on the bottom of the condensers to provide the proper sub-cooling.
The water outlets are also located of the same end of unit. Rotating the heads and gaskets 180 degrees ON BOTH ENDS OF THE CONDENSERS can reverse the water connections.
The LIQUID-IN and LIQUID-OUT labels indicate water connections AS SUPPLIED FROM THE FACTORY. It is recommended that strainer with a minimum of 20 mesh be installed ahead of the condenser water inlet(s) to prevent debris from clogging or damaging the heat exchangers. See Appendix C-1 for Installation Instructions for the Water Regulating Valve.
Low Flow Protection is achieved by connecting the normally open condenser pump auxiliary contacts to TB5-3 and TB5-4. When the condenser pump is operating, the auxiliary contacts will close, completing the circuit.
Figure 3, Compressor Mounting
Figure 4, Zinc Anodes location. Typical, both sides of the head
There is a pressure-relief device on the condensers. Most local codes require that this relief be vented directly to the outdoors.
NOTE: The relief line must not be smaller than the relief valve outlet. Be sure to provide a way of draining and servicing the unit.
IMPORTANT
THE WATER INLET MUST ALWAYS BE ON
THE CONDENSER HEADS THAT HAS THE
NOZZLE CONNECTION AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE HEAD. Incorrect inlet connection will result in poor system performance due to incorrect sub-cooling.
In order to minimize the water pressure drop in the system, use as few bends as possible in the field water piping, and run the lines as short as possible. Size the water lines according to the available pump pressure (not necessarily the connection size). See Drawing 90RMC050- D-6-Sheet 7 (Piping Diagram) for piping connection. See Carrier System Design Manual, Part 3, Piping Design. See Condenser Specs listed on page 14 system design pressure drops.
Set water-regulating valve to maintain design head pressure. Do not adjust to compensate for high head pressures caused by fouled condenser tubes, excess refrigerant, or the presence of non-condensables. Due to changes in water temperature, it may be necessary to adjust the valve seasonally. After adjusting for design head pressure, shut unit down. The water-regulating valve should shut off the flow of water in a few minutes. If it does not, raise head pressure setting. Make sure that the capillary tube from each water-regulating valve is connected to the proper condenser purge valve.
Provide a means for draining the system for maintenance.
CAUTION
Retighten all condenser head bolts before filling system with water. Torque bolts to a maximum of 40 to 45 ft-lb.
COOLER DESCRIPTION
The cooler is a direct-expansion type with removable heads and is partitioned for multi-pass refrigerant flow. Baffles designed for minimum fluid-pressure drop direct fluid flow across the tube bundle. The tubes have integral internal fins for maximum heat transfer efficiency.
Viewed from unit front, the return chilled fluid enters at the left end of the cooler and leaves at the right end. The sensing bulb for the factory-supplied fluid temperature controller is in the leaving-fluid nozzle; the leaving-fluid temperature being the control point.
The cooler is insulated with a flexible, closed-cell plastic foam insulation of suitable thickness. Water vapor cannot penetrate the cellular structure to condense either within cells or on the cooler shell. Thus, the insulation itself is a vapor barrier. Because of the toughness of insulation, a protective sheet metal covering is not necessary.
COOLER PIPING
Plan cooler fluid piping for minimum number of changes in elevation, and for the fewest number of bends possible. Install manual or automatic vent valve at high points in the line.
Maintain system pressure by using a pressure tank or a combination of relief and reducing valves.
A strainer with a minimum of 40 mesh must be installed ahead of the cooler fluid inlet to prevent debris from clogging or damaging the heat exchanger.
See Drawing 90RMC050-D-6-Sheet 7 (Piping Diagram) for piping connection. See Carrier System Design Manual, Part 3, Piping Design, for chilled fluid piping details.
The cooler fluid inlet and outlet connections are ANSI Raised Flange 150 lbs type connections.
Run the pump for 10 minutes, and then clean the strainer before starting the unit.
COOLER FLOW SWITCH
A cooler flow switch is required for all units, and must be field-installed. The Carrier flow switch, part number HR81LG005 has been shipped loose.
Flow switch wiring terminals are located on Terminal Block TB5 of the control box. The flow switch should be wired between terminals TB5- 1 and TB5-2.
The ship loose switch Carrier Part Number HR81LG005 is McDonnell & Miller Part Number FS8-WG; refer to Installation & Maintenance Instructions in Appendix Section C-2 for final installation. This will be a Paddle Type switch that is installed in the pump suction line. The following are items that need to be followed for correct operation of the flow switch.
The flow switch should be located in a horizontal section of pipe where there is a straight horizontal run of at least 5 pipe diameters on each side of the flow switch. The flow switch may be installed in a vertical pipe if the flow is in the upward direction.
The flow switch must be installed in the…
