Introduction

General Description

Models SWTO18C through 040C are factory assembled,

refrigerant charged and tested, water cooled packaged air

conditioning units designed for ducted applications.

Each unit is comprised of three distinct sections:

●

Main cooling/heating

●

Filter/waterside economizer

●

Fan section

The unit is designed for easy disassembly for access to

mechanical rooms, freight elevators, etc. The disassembly of

the sections does not require the breaking of refrigeration

lines. When a unit is knocked down the maximum section

width including fastener heads is less than 341/2 inches.

Once in the mechanical room the unit is easily reassembled.

Each unit contains multiple scroll compressors, water cooled

condensers, multi-circuit evaporator, thermostatic expansion

valves, interconnecting refrigerant piping, forward curved

centrifugal fan, belt drive, fan motor, 4” pleated filters and

all necessary operating and safety controls.

All rigging, installation, power and control wiring external to

the unit, and condenser water and condensate piping are the

responsibility of the installer.

The MicroTech II™ self-contained unit controller is standard

equipment on “C” vintage units. For a detailed description of

the MicroTech components, input/output configurations,

field wiring options and requirements, and service proce-

dures, refer to Bulletin No. IM 710, “MicroTech II Self-con-

tained Unit Controller’ For a description of operation and

information on using and programming the MicroTech II

unit controller, refer to the appropriate operation manual

(see Table 1).

Table 1: Self-contained unit operation manual literature

Inspection

When the equipment is received, check all items carefully

checked against the bill of lading to verify a complete ship-

ment. The shipping receipt should not be signed until all

items have been accounted for. All units should be carefully

inspected for damage upon arrival. All shipping damage

should be reported to the carrier and a claim filed. The unit

serial plate should be checked before unloading the unit to be

sure that it agrees with the power supply available

Installation

Note: Installation and maintenance must be performed

only by qualified personnel who are familiar with

local codes and regulations, trained and experi-

enced with this type of equipment.

Handling

Units may be shipped in one or two sections. When the unit

is shipped in two sections the fan section is separate from the

base sections. Units are shipped with a protective covering

which should remain in place while the unit is being moved

to its final location. Note: Check for concealed damage as

soon as possible.

Never allow any part of the unit to fall during unloading or

moving as this may result in serious damage. When the fan

section ships separate, lifting lugs are provided for rigging

and handling. The lugs are mounted on the fan section. If the

fan section ships attached to the base sections, lifting lugs

are not provided.

The unit base sections will accept lifting rods through chan-

nels on the base rail. If units are lifted by crane, protection

against chaffing damage by slings or cable must be provided

and spreader bars must be used across the top of the cabinet

to prevent structural damage to the frame.

Floor surfaces must be protected when equipment is moved

across finished flooring. Plywood sheeting may be used to

protect surfaces and distribute weight loading.

Vibration Isolators

All units are provided with 1” neoprene isolation pads,

shipped separately. Pads are to be installed beneath the unit

and located at each corner and the center of each base channel.

For units provided with more than (8) isolator pads, evenly

space the additional pads under the front and rear base chan-

nels.

Location/Service Access

For good installation, service and maintenance access the

following recommended clearances should be followed.

Clearance is required to allow room for side filter access,

mechanical cleaning of the condenser tubes and economizer

coil, access to expansion valves and other control compo-

nents and to allow for possible fan shaft or compressor

removal

Clearance

Removal of Shipping Restraints and

Construction Filter

Mechanical restraints are used to secure the spring mounted

fan during shipment. Restraints and shipping blocks must be

removed after unit has been set in its final location.

CAUTION

Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential

injury hazard. Avoid contact with them.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to install dollies in the center of

the unit.

Disassembly of Sections

If units are ordered for modular construction, they may be

easily disassembled into three sections. The figures below

illustrate the main cooling/heating, filter/waterside econo-

mizer, and fan sections. The thick lines in the figures show

where the sections are disassembled. The section are secured

by connection plates and screws. The following information

describes the location of the connecting points.

Fan section — base sections disassembly

The fan section sits on the base sections and is secured with

four steel plates. Each plate has two screws in the base sec-

tions and two screws in the fan section. Two of the plates are

shown in Figure 3. The connection plates are also the rigging

plates for the fan section only. They must not be used for rig-

ging the entire unit.

Main cooling/heating — filter/waterside economizer

sections disassembly

The following information is for units ordered for modular

construction (code 32=1). Note: The disassembly of units

not ordered for modular construction (code 32=Y) will

require field modification. Units not ordered for modular

construction do not have victaulic couplings on the water

pipes and the various control sensors are mounted in the unit.

●

Two steel plates the height of the sections connect the

main cooling/heating and the filter/waterside econo-

mizer sections. The plates are secured with multiple

screws on the right and left side of the base sections.

The connection plate and screws are illustrated in Sect

A-A.

●

The filter/waterside economizer section overlaps the

main cooling/heating sections along the bottom and top

adjoining rails. Multiple screws connect the two sec-

tions along these bottom and top overlaps.

●

Victaulic couplings connect the water pipes between the

filter/waterside and main cooling/heating sections. Each

victaulic coupling is secured with two bolts

●

.The condensate drain pipe between the two sections is

connected by a flexible PVC tube with pipe clamps.

Field Mounting of Sensors

Units with fan section shipped separate

(code 21=*M)

The following items require field connection or mounting

when the fan section is shipped separate:

• Fan Motor(s) power harness(es) need to be connected to

the OL10 overload(s) on the control board. The power har-

ness is located in the fan section with one end connected to

the fan motor. The other end of the power harness needs to

be connected to the control panel. Three penetration hole are

provide to the control panel. The holes are pre-punched in

the upper right hand side of the control panel when facing

the control panel. Select one of the holes and cut out the

insulation. Mount the power harness conduit fitting in the

hole. Connect the three fan power wires to the leaving side

of the OL1 0 overload.

• Supply Air Sensor — The sensor will be shipped

loose in the main cooling/heating section on the right side

when facing the control panel. The sensor will be labeled

SAT. Move the SAT sensor into the fan section. The mount-

ing location is on the right side of the fan section when fac-

ing the unit front. The mounting hole is labeled SAT on a

plate at the bottom of the fan.

• Duct High Limit Tube — The tube is shipped loose in

the main cooling/heating section on the left side when facing

the unit front. The tube is labeled DHL. The duct high limit

tube should be mounted on the left side of the fan section

regardless of front or back discharge. The mounting location

is labeled DHL TUBE on the flex duct metal. Place tube and

holder through flex duct assembly and screw locking nut on

the inside of the fan.

• VIV (optional) actuator and feedback potenti-

ometer control wire need to be connected. The VIV control

wiring penetrates the control board in the upper left corner

when facing the front of the unit. The connectors from the

control board are shipped loose in the main cooling/heating

section. The connectors from the VIV actuator are shipped

loose in the fan section. The control wire coming from the

actuator motor has a socket connector which matches the

prong connector from the control panel. The control wire for

the feedback potentiometer has a prong connector which

matches the socket connector from the control panel. This

logic of prong and socket connections prevents cross wiring

of the actuator motor and feedback potentiometer control

wiring.

Units ordered for modular construction

(code 32=1)

Right side of unit

The following items require field connection or mounting in

the filter/waterside economizer section. Each item is shipped

loose in the main cooling/ heating section. The four items are

located on the right side of the section when facing the front

of the unit. A hole is provided leaving the main cooling/heat-

ing section entering the filter/waterside economizer section.

Each item needs to be threaded through this hole into the fil-

ter/waterside economizer section. The mounting location of

the four items is the space after the filters and before the

coils. The following provide mounting hole locations for

each item:

• Mixed Air Sensor - Identify the sensor labeled MAT.

Mount the sensor in the 2nd hole from the top labeled MAT.

• Plastic Tube for Air Flow and Clogged Filter

Switch - The tube for pressure sensing on the Proof of Air

Flow Switch (PC7) and the Clogged Filter Switch (PC5) is

labeled PC5/PC7.

• Freezstat— If the optional Freezstat is ordered its con-

trol wiring must be connected. Plug the control wiring into

the freezstat mounted on the top hole.

Left or right side of unit

The following items are located on the same side of the unit

as the water piping connections. The water piping connec-

tions may be ordered right or left hand. Each of these items

requires field mounting or connections.

• Mount the EWT and LWT temperature sensors in the

filter/waterside economizer section. The sensors are shipped

loose on the bottom of main cooling/heating section on the

side of the water connections. Identify the sensor labeled

EWT and mount to the holder at the bottom the entering

water tube. The entering water tube is the bottom tube and is

labeled at the point it penetrates the unit. Identify the sensor

labeled LWT and mount to the holder at the bottom of the

leaving water tube. The leaving water tube is above the

entering water tube and is labeled at the point it penetrates

the unit.

• Connect the control wiring for the valve(s) actuator and

feedback potentiometer which control the water flow

through the waterside economizer (optional) and condenser.

The wire connectors from the control board are shipped

loose in the base of the main cooling/heating section. The

wire connectors from the valve actuator(s) are shipped loose

in the base of filter/waterside economizer section. The con-

trol wire coming from the actuator motor has a socket con-

nector which matches the prong connector from the control

panel. If there is more than one actuator motor, the wire

number on the socket connector must match the wire number

on the prong connector. If the wire numbers are not matched,

the valves will not be controlled properly. The control wire

for the feedback potentiometer has a prong connector which

matches the socket connector from the control panel. This

logic of prong and socket connections prevents cross wiring

of the actuator motor and feedback potentiometer control

wiring.

Refrigerant Piping

Pressure Relief Valves

All units have individual condensers per refrigerant circuit

and each condenser is provided with a spring loaded relief

valve. The valve is set to open when refrigerant pressure

reaches 400 psig. The relief valve will accommodate a 1/2"

flare connection for applications where it is necessary to

connect vent piping and run it outside the building.

CAUTION

When refrigerant is vented to the outside of the

building, install the vent piping as recommended

in ASHRAE Standard 15-1992.

8 IM709

Water Connections

General

Due to the variety of piping practices, follow the recommen-

dations of local authorities. They can supply the installer

with the proper building and safety codes required for code-

compliant proper installation.

Basically, the piping should be installed with a minimum

number of bends and elevation changes for best perfor-

mance. Piping should contain:

1. Vibration eliminators to reduce vibration and noise

transmission to the building.

2. Shutoff valves to isolate the unit from the piping system

during unit servicing.

3. Manual or automatic air vent valves at the high points of

the system.

4. Some means of maintaining adequate system water

pressure (e.g., expansion tank or regulating valve).

5. Temperature and pressure indicators located at the unit

to aid in servicing.

6. A strainer or some means of removing foreign matter

from the water before it enters the pump. It should be

placed far enough upstream to prevent cavitation at the

pump inlet (consult pump manufacturer for recommen-

dations). The use of a strainer will help prolong pump

life and help maintain system performance.

7. Size piping to minimize system pressure drop.

Condenser Piping

1. Units may be specified with water and condensate con-

nections on either end of the unit.

2. All units have an individual condenser per refrigerant

circuit. All condensers are factory piped for a common

condenser supply and a common condenser return con-

nection.

3. Field piping connections are made to factory provided

piping located as indicated on the unit submittal draw-

ings. Units with factory provided water side economizer

coil have the piping connections run to the outside of

the unit cabinet. Connections are located behind a fac-

tory mounted shipping cover. Connections are located

behind a factory mounted cover plate. All connections

are copper, sweat connections as indicated on unit

dimensional drawings.

4. Supply and return water connections must be made at

the proper locations as indicated by the dimensional

drawings. Supply (water in) connection is always the

lower connection.

5. Units with factory mounted water side economizer

should not require head pressure control. The econo-

mizer will typically elevate the water temperature by 5

to 10°F before entering the condenser, allowing suitable

condenser water temperatures whenever the tower sup-

ply temperature is 50°F or higher. Without head pres-

sure control, mechanical cooling is locked out below

55°F EWT.

6. Head pressure control must be provided if no econo-

mizer is used and if entering condenser water tempera-

tures will go below 55°F. Fan cycling and/or modulating

discharge dampers on the cooling tower are often used,

or a 3-way bypass around the tower. Cooling tower con-

trol to maintain the temperature at >55°F is generally

more cost effective if multiple units are in the loop. If

valves are installed on the individual SWP units, a sin-

gle water regulating valve controlled by circuit #1 head

pressure should be used. The Lead/Lag option must

equal “NO”. When Lead/Lag equals “NO” circuit #1 is

always first on and last off. The refrigerant pressure line

from the valve should be connected to a gauge port on

any liquid line service valve located in compressor #1

refrigerant circuit. Compressor #1 is located at the far

left of the cabinet.

Figure 4. Condenser Regulating Valve (refrigerant

pressure controlled

)

If the water regulating valve is placed in series with the unit

condensers, it should be installed in the water line leaving

the condenser and should shutdown to prevent water from

siphoning out of the condensers. For systems where a con-

stant pumping head is required, the water regulating valve

may be installed in a bypass line around the condensers. It

must then open on falling discharge pressure.

These typical systems, depending on the specific application,

must maintain a constant condensing pressure regardless of

temperature conditions and must assure adequate head pres-

sure for proper thermostatic expansion valve operation. A

minimum head pressure of 160 psig (86°F condensing tem-

perature) is recommended.

7. Condenser tube velocities must not exceed 10 feet per

second. Flow and velocity will be satisfactory if water

volumes do not exceed those shown in Table No. 4.

Condensate Drain Connection

The condensate drain connection is 11/8" O.D.S. copper and

is located on the same end of the unit as the condenser water

connections. The drain is internally trapped at the factory

requiring no external trap. The condensate line should be

pitched away from the unit with a minimum slope of 1/8" per

foot. Drain pans and the drain trap should be kept clean by

periodic cleaning. A cleanout is provided as standard in the

trap to aid in cleaning.

Duct Connections

Supply Air

For connection of supply ductwork directly to the unit, a

duct collar must first be mounted at the fan outlet, avoiding

the mounting screws located around the perimeter of the fan

discharge opening. Fan discharge opening sizes are indicated

on the unit dimensional drawings. When connecting duct-

work to the unit, use a canvas type connecting collar. To

maintain specified fan performance, two-fan units should

incorporate a properly designed "pants" duct connection

(refer to Figure 10).

Units are available in two fan configurations as shown in

Figure 11. Duct take-offs which go opposite to the direction

of fan rotation will result in an associated system effect loss

and reduced fan performance.

Figure 10. Two-fan unit top detail

Figure 11. Discharge duct configuration

12 IM709

Return Air

Air return to the unit can be arranged in different ways.

1. Ducted return

Return ductwork may be attached to the 2" flange around the

perimeter of unit's return air opening (refer to Figure 12).

Use a canvas type duct connecting collar. All ductwork con-

nected to the unit should be of adequate size and construc-

tion for the application. A canvas type connector is also

recommended where the duct penetrates the machine room

wall(s). This will help prevent vibration generated by air

movement in the duct from being transmitted out to the

occupied spaces.

Note: Do not obstruct unit access panel located below the

return opening.

Note: For units with ducted return, connect the open port

on the clogged filter switch (PC5) to the return air

duct.

2. Free return

The mechanical equipment room may be used as a return

plenum with no hard connection at the unit.

Note: Some building codes do not allow the use of the

mechanical room as a return plenum. Check appli-

cable local codes for each installation.

Field Wiring

General

Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordi-

nances. The warranty does not cover equipment failures

caused by or contributed to wiring not in accordance with

specifications. An open fuse indicates a short, ground or

overload. Before replacing a fuse or restarting a compressor

or fan motor, the trouble must be found and corrected. Use

copper wire for all power lead terminations. Contact factory

for information concerning aluminum wire power lead ter-

minations.

A single power terminal block is provided as standard and

wiring within the unit is done in accordance with the

National Electric Code. All branch circuits within the control

panel are individually fused. A single field supplied discon-

nect is required or a unit mounted nonfused disconnect can

be ordered with the unit.

Table 7. Compressor Motors

A 7/8” knockout is located on the right-hand unit upright for

locating unit power entry. 24V field connections are suitable

for Class II wiring.

Unit Disconnect

Disconnecting means are addressed by Article 440 of the

National Electric Code (NEC) which requires disconnecting

means capable of disconnecting air conditioning and refrig-

erant equipment including motor-compressors, and control-

lers, from the circuit feeder." The disconnect switch should

be selected and located within the NEC guidelines. Location

requirements per NEC are that the disconnect be located in a

readily accessible position within sight (50 feet) of the unit.

A factory mounted nonfused disconnect is available.

Return Air and Outside Air Sensors

All units are provided with a return air sensor. The outside

air sensor is optional and can be ordered with the unit. The

return air sensor is connected to the input control board and

is coiled up and placed in the control box of the unit for ship-

ment. The return air sensor must be field installed in the

return air stream for proper unit operation. The outside air

sensor is shipped loose in a package and is located on the

floor of the fan section. The mixed air temperature sensor is

already installed at the inlet of the unit.

The sensors must be mounted in areas that are exposed to

representative temperature conditions. The sensor should be

mounted at a position that has good air mixing and does not

have stratification. The sensor can be mounted in the duct-

work using a grommet, see Figure 17.

Figure 17. Return/Outside Air Sensor Mounting

The return air sensor is connected to the unit’s input board at

location AI4, see IM710. The outside air sensor is field

wired to terminal strip TB2. The sensor is to be connected at

terminals 124 and 125.

Supply Power Wiring

1. Units require three-phase power supply.

2. Allowable voltage tolerances:

a. 60 Hertz

Nameplate 208V: Min.187V, Max. 229V

Nameplate 230V: Min.207V, Max. 253V

Nameplate 460V: Min.414V, Max. 506V

Nameplate 575V: Min.518V, Max. 632V

b. 50 Hertz

Nameplate 400V: Min. 342V, Max. 418V

3. Power lead wire sizing:

a. For units with cooling capability (all concurrent

loads) with or without hot water heating and circuits

with motor loads only:

MCA = 1.25 (largest motor RLA or FLA) + other

loads + 2 amps.

b. For units with cooling capability and non concurrent

electric heat capability:

In the cooling mode, the loads will be composed of

supply fan motor and compressors. In heating mode,

the loads will be composed of supply fan motor and

electric heater. The MCA is calculated for unit run-

ning in either mode; the highest value obtained is used

for the MCA.

(1) For unit in cooling mode:

MCA = 1.25 (largest RLA or FLA) + other loads +

2 amps.

(2) For unit in heating mode:

MCA = 1.25 (electric heat FLA + Fan FLA) + 2

amps.

4. Size wires in accordance with Table 310-16 or 310-19 of

the National Electrical Code.

5. Wires should be sized for a maximum of 3% voltage

drop.
