TM-55360-120 3
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
WARNING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY may result if personnel fail to observe safety
precautions.
Great care must be exercised to prevent liquid refrigerant, or refrigerant gas
discharged under high pressure, from coming into contact with any part of
the body. Extremely low temperature resulting from rapid expansion of
liquid refrigerant, or refrigerant gas discharged from under high pressure,
can cause sudden and irreversible tissue damage through freezing.
All personnel must wear thermal protective gloves and a face shield or
goggles when working in any situation where refrigerant contact with skin or
eyes is possible. Application of excessive heat to any component in a charged
system will cause extreme pressure that may result in a rupture, possibly
explosive in nature.
Generally, in their natural states, CFC and HCFC refrigerants are colorless,
odorless vapors with no toxic characteristics are heavier than air, and will
disperse rapidly in a well-ventilated area. However, in an unventilated area,
these refrigerants present a danger as an asphyxiate by displacing oxygen in
the area.
WARNING
Allow heaters to cool before touching. Severe burns can result from touching hot
elements.
WARNING
Compressed air used for cleaning purposes should not exceed 30 psig (2.1 kg/cm2).
Do not direct compressed air against skin. Use goggles or a full-face shield.

WARNING
Heater elements present an ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, 120/208 VAC. Keep
hands away from heater coils when ECU is in the heat mode. Failure to observe this
warning could result in serious burns or death.
CAUTION
Do not use steam, open flame, heat gun, or any other source of concentrated heat to
thaw an iced evaporator coil. Thaw an iced coil by one of the following methods,
which best suits the conditions:
1. Operate the unit in a high heat mode (unless coil is more than 50% iced over).
Air must be able to circulate through the coil.
2. Use a lamp bulb of 75 watts maximum. Heat from the operating bulb will
thaw the coil. Protect the bulb and electrical connection from dripping water.
3. Use a commercial hair dryer or an electrical fan to blow air at the coil.
WARNING
Be sure the refrigeration system is fully discharged and purged by running dry
nitrogen through the system at a rate of not less than 1-2 cfm before brazing or
de-brazing operations.
CAUTION
Do not energize the ECU unless the condensate drains have been equipped with a
“p-trap” of at least 5 inches (20 mm) to prevent air, water, and other debris from
being drawn back into the ECU.
TM-55360-120 5
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
CAUTION
Restrictive or kinked ductwork, high-pressure drop air filters, supply and return
vents blocked by equipment, diverters, etc. Will reduce air volume and cooling
capacity.
Placement of supply air vents too close to the return will cause cold air to feed
directly back through the return; this will cause the compressor to unload as it
senses the demand for cooling has been satisfied.
To insure proper operation and full capacity, the condenser air intake and discharge
openings must be completely free of obstructions.

3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the functions of the ECU system in the cooling and heating modes, as
well as the operation of the refrigeration, heating, and electrical sub-systems.
The compressor maintains high side condensing pressure, and the thermostatic expansion
valve separates the high-pressure side from the low-pressure side at the evaporator coil inlet.
The liquid then flows through the thermostatic expansion valve, which meters the high
pressure liquid into the low pressure refrigerant circuit. The liquid then enters the low
pressure side of the circuit; it flows through the evaporator coil, boils by absorbing the latent
heat of vaporization at this low pressure, and evaporates into a low pressure (and low
temperature) gas. Heat from the surrounding air is extracted through the finned tubing of the
coil by the refrigerant. The gas then returns to the compressor, where it is compressed and
forced into the condenser coil. At this point, the high pressure (and high temperature) gas is
condensed into high pressure liquid. Ambient air drawn over the condenser coil extracts the
heat at the higher pressure from the refrigerant, causing condensation. The high pressure
liquid flows from the condenser coil, thus completing the cycle.
Compressor starts after three (3) minute time delay. Time delay protects the
compressor from cycling on and off too quickly.
16 TM-55360-120
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
The Compressor takes low pressure, low temperature gas and compresses it to a
high temperature, high pressure gas.
The refrigerant then flows to the condenser coil. The condenser fan draws outside
ambient air in and through the fins of the condenser coil. The high temperature,
high-pressure gas from the compressor is cooled by the flow of air over the
condenser coil and is changed into a lower temperature, high pressure liquid.
The refrigerant then flows through the receiver and through the liquid/vapor sight
glass. This device indicates the presence of moisture and state of refrigerant in
the system.
The refrigerant filter/drier removes moisture (water vapor) or impurities that may
be carried by the liquid refrigerant.
The expansion valve senses the temperature of the refrigerant as it leaves the
evaporator coil. By use of a sensing bulb and an external equalizer line, the valve
constantly adjusts the flow of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator coil.
The refrigerant gas is then drawn back to the compressor and the cycle is
repeated.

4. INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Both sets of ducts must be in place before operating the ECU. Operating the ECU
without ducting may damage the equipment.
CAUTION
When installing flex duct, observe the following guidelines/precautions:
Take care to avoid dips, sags, and bends as much as possible, since poorly
installed ductwork will reduce performance of the heating, cooling, or
ventilation system. This is particularly important with longer duct runs, as
flex duct has twice the resistance to air flow compared to rigid duct.
Always opt for the minimum length of flexible duct. Any necessary bends
should be made with not less than one duct diameter centerline radius.
Ducting should extend a few inches beyond the end of a sheet metal
connection before bending. When bending the duct, be careful not to
compress it.
a. Attach ducting to the return and supply air flanges. As needed, adjust fit of duct
end over flange using duct clamp force adjustment screw.
(See
Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2)
b. Stretch duct to its full length so air passages are as smooth as possible. Ensure
ducts are free of kinks and other obstructions, and are placed to prevent short-
cycling (air flowing directly from supply air into return air duct).
(See Figure 4-3)
c. Make all bends gradual—not less than one duct diameter centerline radius—so
air flow is not restricted. (See Figure 4-4)
18 TM-55360-120
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
d. Make connections between sheet metal and flex ducts with metal or nylon
clamps.
e. Support flex duct so it does not sag (restricting airflow), using supports at least
one inch wide.

6.2.2 Unit Voltage Check
If there is a problem with a unit starting, or the compressor is cycling on its overload, the
trouble may be due to improper electric service being supplied to the unit. It will be
necessary to check the voltage in the unit power connections.
e. Read the voltage (should be 208V +/- 10%). This is called “idle” voltage.
g. With unit running, read the voltmeter (should be 208V +/- 10%). This is called
“running voltage”.

6.2.3 Scroll Compressor Check
NOTE:
The following procedure must be performed by a journeyman, refrigeration
mechanic, or an air conditioning technician.
Scroll compressors do not have internal suction valves or dynamic discharge valves that can
be damaged, so it is not necessary to perform functional compressor tests where the
compressor is turned on with the suction service valve closed to check how low the
compressor will pull suction pressure. In fact, this type of test may actually damage a Scroll
compressor (and other types of compressors). The following diagnostic procedure should be
used to evaluate whether a Scroll compressor is functioning properly.
a. Verify proper voltage to the unit – If the compressor will not run, the normal
checks of motor winding continuity and short to ground should be made to
determine if the inherent internal overload motor protector has opened or if an
internal short to ground has developed. If the protector has opened, the
compressor must be allowed to cool sufficiently to allow it to reset.
34 TM-55360-120
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
The above conditions are often temporary or fluctuating. Prolonged observation (30 minutes
or more) of sight glass bubbles combined with other symptoms such as low suction pressure
and/or insufficient cooling are good indications that the system is low on refrigerant.
The sight glass moisture indicator MUST be green before operating the system.
WARNING
Adhere to the following precautions:
Always wear safety glasses when working with refrigerant.
Beware of refrigerant burn when removing hoses.
Use caution when working with pressurized hoses.
Use only hoses with side wall designed for high pressure.
d. Check the unit operating pressures at gauge manifold with the normal operating
pressure curve for this unit (see Table 9-1).
e. If the system is operating properly, disconnect gauge manifold, and reinstall all
gauge port caps and system service valve caps.

6.2.6 Icing or Frosting of Evaporator Coil
A condition often encountered in the field is icing or frosting of the evaporator coil. Since
there are several causes for this condition, it can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Icing
and frosting are two separate and distinct conditions:
ICING - A covering of slick, smooth ice on the surface. This can be a very thin
coat or it may become quite thick. It may further build up over a fairly large
area.

Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
7. MAINTENANCE
A system should be established to record all problems, defects, and deficiencies noted by
operators and discovered during maintenance inspections together with the corrective
actions taken.
Stand-by, non-operating units should be rotated on a last in, last out basis. Any unit not
operating for one (1) year should be tested. A walk-by, visual inspection should be done
monthly. Look for physical damage due to material handling and evidence of oil leakage
around the unit. Any unit that shows evidence of physical damage or oil leakage must be
tested.
The refrigerant compressor and its drive motor are hermetically sealed. The compressor
crankcase has a lifetime supply of oil and is pressure lubricated by an internal oil pump. If
compressor failure or motor burnout occurs, the compressor must be replaced. Refer to the
Parts List for the correct replacement part. The evaporator blower motor and the condenser
fan motor are permanently lubricated.
The PMCS Table (Table 7-1) lists the preventive maintenance checks and services that
should be performed at quarterly (or otherwise established) intervals. The PMCS items in
the table have been arranged in a logical sequence to provide for greater personnel
efficiency and least amount of required maintenance downtime.

7.3.1 Major Overhaul
Under normal operating conditions and with the proper preventive maintenance, the unit
should provide excellent service for many years. After this time, the ECU should be returned
to the manufacturer or a suitably qualified depot for major overhaul and refurbishment. All
work must be performed by qualified refrigeration and electrical technicians and should
include replacement of compressors, motors, starters, contactors, bearings, and other
accessories as necessary.
NOTE:
REFER TO SAFETY SUMMARY SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO
ADHERE TO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
1) If the system has been in operation and has lost its entire charge, it is
desirable to pressurize the entire system to find the leak or leaks.

The valve and pressure gauge arrangement on a nitrogen bottle
provides an excellent means of checking if a leak exists.
Nitrogen will not be absorbed by refrigerant oil, thereby causing a
misleading pressure drop.
Test procedures are easier to obtain.
Nitrogen is not ozone depleting.
c. Test for leaks – Use one of the following two methods to leak test a system
charged with refrigerant.
2) Pass probe along the lines going around the joints and connections.
Be sure to check all points.
NOTE:
On existing systems which have been in operation, it is usually wise to make a visual
check of the system piping since a refrigerant leak will often be indicated by the
presence of oil. This is because some of the oil in the system will escape through the
leak with the refrigerant.

7.3.2.2 Leak Repair
a. When a leak is located, properly reclaim the remaining refrigerant charge
before attempting repairs.
b. Adjacent piping must be thoroughly cleaned by removing all paint, dirt, and
oily film. Use a wire brush, sand cloth, or sandpaper and wipe the area with
clean, dry cloths.
NOTE:
Damaged or leaking coils require replacement. The coils are supplied with factory-
installed copper stubs for integration into the refrigeration system. Aluminum coils
cannot be repaired in the field due to the high temperatures required to make
repairs.

WARNING
DEATH or serious injury may result if personnel fail to observe the following safety
precautions.
As a minimum, all personnel must wear thermal protective gloves and face
shield or goggles when working in any situation where refrigerant contact
with the skin or eyes is possible. Application of excessive heat to any
component in a charged system will cause extreme pressure that may result in
a rupture, possibly explosive in nature.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make any adjustments without the proper tools. Refer to
Table 8-7 for Recommended Common Support Tools.

7.4 Attaching Manifold Hose to Schrader Valve
a. Remove cap from valve.
c. If hose does not have an unseating pin, unseating coupler must be used. Make
sure coupler is lined up straight with Schrader valve. Screw coupler on to valve.
d. Open gauge manifold valve slightly and purge air from hose with refrigerant.
e. Read the suction pressure on compound gauge and head pressure on pressure
gauge.
f. To remove, push end of coupler tight against end of Schrader valve and hold in
place while quickly unscrewing coupler nut from Schrader valve. Remove
coupler from Schrader valve.
CAUTION
AT NO TIME USE THE COMPRESSOR TO EVACUATE THE SYSTEM OR
ANY PART OF IT.
NOTE:
A refrigeration system should be evacuated whenever the system has been open in
such a manner that there is a possibility that air and moisture could have entered the
system. The evacuation process is intended to remove non-condensable gases and
moisture from the portion of the system to be evacuated. The most important
contaminant to be removed is moisture. To remove moisture from the system, it
must first be boiled into vapor. Before water will boil at ordinary room temperature,
for example, at 70° F (21.1 C) the vacuum must be 29¼ inches of mercury at 30
inches of mercury barometric pressure. This means that the system must be within
¾ inches of mercury of absolute zero pressure. This low vacuum should be measured
by using standard commercial practices, an absolute pressure gauge, or an electronic
gauge. For this reason, a good vacuum pump must be used to accomplish good
dehydration.
TM-55360-120 45
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
a. Evacuate the system to less than 500 microns, using a good vacuum pump and an
accurate high vacuum gauge. Operate the pump at 500 microns, or less, for
several hours and then allow the system to stand for several additional hours to
be sure the vacuum is maintained.
1) Evacuate the system to 29 inches mercury for ten minutes per ton of system.
Break the vacuum with refrigerant to be used for final charging of system and
vapor charge in system for a minimum of five (5) minutes.
3) Evacuate system to 29 inches mercury for twenty minutes per ton. Charge
system with the specified kind and quantity of refrigerant (charge into
vacuum).
d. The system is now ready for the correct operating charge of refrigerant.
a. Attach a drum of proper, clean refrigerant to the center port of the charging
manifold with one of the charging hoses.
b. Attach a second charging hose to the suction gauge (low-pressure) side of the
gauge manifold.
d. Loosely attach the suction gauge hose to the line valve. Open the valve on the
refrigerant drum and the suction valve on the charging manifold slightly to
purge the air from the manifold and hoses before tightening the fitting.

Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
e. Attach the third hose to the high pressure side of the manifold and the liquid
line valve. Repeat Steps c and d above.
CAUTION
THE SYSTEM MUST BE CHARGED WITH LIQUID.
b. Place the refrigerant drum on a scale and determine exact weight of refrigerant
and cylinder or use a Charging cylinder. Refer to Data Plate for proper charge.
d. With manifold suction valve closed and manifold discharge valve open, open
refrigerant cylinder valve and allow pressure in system to balance with pressure
of cylinder.
e. When there is approximately a full charge (gas for R-407C), close the
discharge manifold valve and let the system stabilize for about five (5) minutes.
f. Start compressor by placing the SYSTEM switch to the ON position for the
ECU being serviced. Place the thermostat in the COOL position.
g. When the correct weight of refrigerant has been added to the unit, close
refrigerant cylinder valve and allow unit to run for 30 minutes. Check the
charge against the allowable head pressure as shown in Table 9-1
(REFRIGERANT TEMPERATURE/PRESSURE CHART) and correct if
needed.
h. Front seat gauge manifold valves, disconnect charging and gauge hoses, and
reinstall all valve caps.

7.7 Component Replacement Procedures
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE is used in the operation of this equipment. Death on contact or
severe injury may result if you fail to observe safety precautions. Always disconnect
the ECU from the power source before working on it. Do not operate the ECU
without panels and grilles in place and tightly secured.
WARNING
ROTATING FAN BLADES are used in this equipment. Severe injury on contact
may result if you fail to observe precautions. Always disconnect power source before
working on fans. Do not operate fans without panels and grilles in place and secured.
7.7.1 General
Refer to the wiring diagram and refrigeration schematic in the Appendix of this manual for
the location of the system components and their relationship to each other. Refer to any
adjustments and settings that may be required before or after installation.
NOTE:
Damaged or leaking coils require replacement. The coils are supplied with factory
installed copper stubs for integration into the refrigeration system. Aluminum coils
cannot be repaired in the field due to the high temperatures required to make
repairs.

7.7.2 Compressor
The compressor is the most important component of the air conditioner. Numerous safety
devices are provided to protect the compressor from contamination damage and burnout.
When replacing a burned-out compressor, it is mandatory that the refrigeration
system be thoroughly cleaned before operating the replacement compressor.
When a compressor burnout occurs, acid is created as a result of refrigerant-oil mixture
being exposed to the extreme high temperatures the motor burnout generates. The acid
diffuses throughout the refrigeration system and must be removed before a new compressor
is placed in service, or the acid will attack the windings of the new compressor motor. Any
dirt, scale, air, or water vapor also drastically shortens the operating life of the new
compressor.
NOTE:
The following procedure must be performed by a journeyman, refrigeration
mechanic, or an air conditioning technician.
j. Once unit has passed leak detection test, evacuate refrigeration system to 500
microns of vacuum. Then break vacuum with R-407C refrigerant. Do this three
(3) times.
TM-55360-120 49
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
k. Charge and operate unit.
l. After installation and start-up are complete, the following tests should be
performed on the replacement compressor and the information recorded.
1) Suction pressure
2) Discharge pressure
3) Amp draw
WARNING
Use rubber gloves and safety glasses and ventilate the workspace. The oil from a
burnout could cause serious skin irritation and possibly burns. In some cases, the
fumes are toxic.
b. Since the normal color of refrigerant oil varies from oil to oil, take a sample of
oil from the replacement compressor and seal in a small glass bottle for
comparison purposes after the cleaning operation is complete. Suitable two-
ounce bottles are obtainable at any drug store.
c. Inspect all system controls such as expansion valves, solenoid valves, check
valves, reversing valves, contactors, etc. Replace any filter/driers previously
installed in the system, and clean or replace any filters or strainers. Install a
good quality moisture indicator if the system does not have one.
d. Install the recommended size filter/drier in the suction line, and an oversized
filter/drier in the liquid line. Charge unit with a fresh can of refrigerant. Do not
reuse contaminated refrigerant.
50 TM-55360-120
Operations & Maintenance Manual
16 MAY 2011
e. Start the compressor and put the system in operation. As the contaminants in
the system are filtered out, the pressure drop across the filter/drier will increase.
Observe the pressure differential across the filter/driers for a minimum of four
(4) hours, preferably by means of one gauge and a manifold to eliminate gauge
error. If the pressure drop exceeds seven 7 psi, replace both filter/driers and
restart the system.
f. After the completion of Step e, allow the unit to operate for 48 hours. Check
the odor (warning: smell cautiously) and compare the color of the oil with the
sample taken in Step b. If an acid test is available, test for acid content. If the
oil is discolored, has an acrid odor, is acidic, or if the moisture indicator
indicates high moisture content in the system, change the filter/driers. The
compressor oil can be changed if considered desirable. Allow the system to
operate for an additional 48 hours, and recheck as before. Repeat until the oil
remains clean, odor free and the color approaches that of the original sample.
g. Replace the liquid line filter/drier with one of the normally recommended size.
Remove the suction line filter/drier and replace with a permanent type suction
line filter/drier.
e. With 9/16 open-end wrench, loosen one of the thin nuts that hold switch to
