Site Preparation
In order to maximize operating efficiency and performance, the following areas should be observed
at the site-planning stage:
- The room should be surrounded with a vapor seal to eliminate moisture migration through the
building structure. Windows should be sealed and at least double-glazed to prevent sweating.
All door jams should fit tightly and should not have any grilles in them. Polyethylene film type
ceiling, vinyl wallpaper or plastic based paint on the walls and slabs are recommended to
minimize absorption and transmission of moisture into the room.
- Owing to a generally small population, a typical room should have fresh air kept at only about
5% of the re-circulated air. This provides enough ventilation for personnel and pressurizes the
room to prevent dust from entering through leaks. The incoming fresh air must be filtered very
closely, and preferably pretreated. Otherwise heating, cooling, humidifying and dehumidifying
loads of the incoming fresh air should be taken into account in determining total loading
requirements.
- All cables and piping should be carefully routed to lower resistance to the distribution of
conditioned air and to avoid the blockage of air-paths to any portion of the room. As a good
practice, all cables and piping running under the raised floor should be mounted horizontally
and whenever possible, routed to run in parallel with the air-path.
- In order to obtain the most effective air distribution, units should not be located too close
together. Attention should be taken to avoid locating the units in an alcove or an extreme end
of a long narrow room.

Location Consideration
Positioning of Indoor units
The Series PS6 units are designed to be free standing on an accessible raised flooring system
provided with sufficient pedestal supports underneath. A minimum raised floor height of
12” (300mm) or 18” (450mm) for dropping fans into the floor stand is required . However, it is
highly recommended to use a separate floor stand as a support, which is independent of the raised
floor system. This allows the unit to be installed prior to erecting the raised flooring system thus
providing much easier access to piping and electrical connections. The floor stand or unit should be
isolated using a suitable isolation method. ClimateWorx OEM floor stands use a two-nut system for
the floor stand feet. Use both nuts, the top nut for leveling and the bottom nut to lock the leveling
nut in place.
The room layout should provide 27-1/2” (700mm) service clearance in the front of the unit for the
routine service and maintenance. Right-side access increases serviceability.
Note: Units ordered with optional drop down fans should have this step completed once the unit is
secured to the floor stand and the floorstand has been secured and leveled in place. See
dimensional drawing details for this feature.
Positioning of Outdoor Heat Rejection Devices
The outdoor heat rejection devices such as air-cooled condensers and glycol coolers should be
located as close to the indoor unit as possible. From a security and environment standpoint, the
outdoor heat rejection devices should be installed away from public access and occupied spaces
where low ambient sound level is required.
In order to avoid short circuiting and inter unit re-circulation, outdoor heat rejection devices should
be located at least 1.2m (4 ft.) away from any walls or obstructions or 2.4m (8ft), from adjacent
units. To ensure maintenance-free operation, outdoor heat rejection devices should be located away
from the areas that are continuously exposed to loose dirt and foreign materials that may clog the
coil.
The outdoor heat rejection devices should be firmly secured on steel supports or concrete plinths.

Refrigerant Pipework Installation
Good practice should always be followed when connecting refrigerant piping in direct expansion
systems.
As many of the operational problems encountered in a refrigeration system can be traced back to
improper design and installation of refrigerant piping, it is essential that the following guidelines be
observed:
- Use clean and dehydrated refrigeration quality tubing with both ends sealed.
- Cut and form tubes carefully to avoid getting dirt or metal particles into the refrigeration lines.
Never use a hacksaw to cut the tubing.
- Once the system is open, complete the work as quickly as possible to minimize ingress of
moisture and dirt into the system. Always put caps on ends of tubes and parts not being worked
on.
- To prevent scaling and oxidation inside the tubing, pass an inert gas such as nitrogen through
the line while carrying out brazing, silver soldering or any other welding processes.
- It is recommended that quality refrigeration solder (95% tin, 5% silver) be used for its
excellent capillary action.
- Use minimum amount of solder flux to prevent internal contamination of the piping. Use flux
with care as it is usually acidic in nature.
- Install a trap at the bottom of the vertical riser of a hot gas line and a trap for every 20 ft. (6m)
in elevation to collect refrigerant and lubrication oil during off cycle. A discharge line trap is
an important function both during the compressor on and during the compressor off cycle.
During the on cycle, the trap collects oil droplets and carries them efficiently up the elevated
discharge line. During the off cycle, the traps captures and retains oil residing on the pipe
walls that would otherwise drain back to the compressor head, causing damage on startup.
- Install inverted trap whenever a condenser is located above the compressor. An inverted trap or
check valve should be installed at the condenser inlet and outlet to prevent liquid refrigerant
from flowing backwards into the compressor during off cycles.
- Insulate the suction line and insulate liquid lines that may be subjected to high heat gains.
Insulate low level discharge lines to avoid burning due to accidental contact.
- Design and arrange refrigerant piping for the remote condenser in such a way so that adequate
velocity of refrigerant can be maintained to prevent oil trapping. Under sizing discharge lines
will reduce compressor capacity and increase compressor load. Over sizing discharge lines
increases the initial cost of the project and can reduce the refrigerant gas velocity to a level
where oil is not returned to the compressor.Recommended pipe sizes are tabulated as follows:

Evacuation
The procedure for leakage testing and evacuation of the system is as follows:
1. Disconnect all line voltage fuses except the fuses for control transformers. Using the test mode,
energize fan and all solenoid valves. (See M52 User’s Guide) Open liquid line hand valve.
2. Connect a gauge manifold to the compressor suction and discharge rotalock valve.
3. Close the compressor discharge and suction ports and open all service valves.
4. Charge the system with dry nitrogen to approximately 150 psig (not to exceed 350 psig).
5. Leave pressure in system for at least 12 hours. If pressure holds, continue with next step. If the
pressure drops detect and seal leak before continuing.
6. Release all pressure. Connect a vacuum pump to the compressor suction and discharge
rotalock valves with refrigerant or high vacuum hoses. Provide an isolating valve and a
pressure gauge for pressure checking.
7. Evacuate the system to an absolute pressure not exceeding 1500 microns. Break the vacuum to
2psig with dry nitrogen. Repeat the evacuation process and then re-break the vacuum with dry
nitrogen.
8. Open the compressor discharge and suction ports. Evacuate to an absolute pressure not
exceeding 500 microns. Let the vacuum pump run without interruption for minimum two
hours.

Fan Speed Control System
The fan speed control system maintains not only a constant condensing pressure over a wide range
of climatic conditions but also high sensible cooling for the evaporator so that re-humidification is
rarely required throughout the year.
A pressure-sensitive fan speed controller is employed in the fan speed control system. It regulates
the condenser head pressure at low ambient temperatures by varying the airflow volume through
the condenser.
Upon engaging the interlock contact in the indoor unit, the fan speed controller will directly sense
the changes in the refrigerant head pressure and vary the output voltage from 15% to 97% of the
applied voltage.
Charging
Calculate the total charge required using this formula:
Indoor Unit Charge + Liquid Line Charge + Condenser Charge
+ Hot gas Line Charge = Total Charge
Proper performance of the system depends largely on proper charging. Adhere to the following
guidelines for charging:
1. Open the main isolator and insert the fuses for the fans, control transformers and the
compressor.
2. Close the main isolator and allow the compressor crankcase heater to operate for at least one
hour.
3. Connect the gauge manifold to both discharge and suction rotalock valves, with a common
connection to the refrigerant cylinder. Purge the lines by opening the refrigerant cylinder
vapor valve.
4. Connect the refrigerant cylinder to recovery unit and charge system with 90% of calculated
amount.
5. Start the unit using the test mode to energize the main fan and compressor. Please make sure
outdoor condenser (if any) is powered.
6. Add additional refrigerant to the system until the sight glass is clear of bubbles and
subcooling is measured between 10-15 oF.
7. Run system to maintain a hot gas (discharge) pressure based on refrigerant used (R407C
@240psi and R22 a @225psi) then re-check subcooling, Add refrigerant if subcooling has
dropped below 10 oF.
8. The system is now correctly charged for operating under fan speed control. It is a good
practice to weigh the amount of additional refrigerant that was added and keep a record of the
total charge in the system.
