The re-heat heat pump refrigerant circuit is a closed system that includes the

same components as the larger cooling circuits. The system is fully charged

with either R22 or R407C refrigerant before it leaves the factory. For charging,

see page 14.

Both the condenser coil and the compressor are located inside the coil cabinet

downstream of the cooling evaporator coil. In this location, they act to raise the

temperature (reheat) of the airstream after it has passed through the reheat

evaporator coil.

The re-heat heat pump performance can be checked in a stand-alone mode

or in conjunction with the primary refrigeration system. In general, suction line

super heat should be in the 8 to 15°F (4.5 to 8.4°C) range, and liquid line sub-

cooling should be in the 18 to 25°F (10.1 to 14°C) range.
When compared to conventional refrigeration performance, the re-heat suction

pressures will tend to be higher and discharge pressures lower.

DANGER: Never use oxygen to pressurize a refrigeration system. Oxygen can ex-

plode on contact with oil and could result in personal injury or death. When using

high pressure gas such as nitrogen for this purpose, ALWAYS USE A PRESSURE

REGULATOR that can control the pressure down to 1 or 2 psig. Failure to use a regu-

lator will result in extremely high pressure which could exceed the burst pressure of

the compressor or other system components and result in personal injury or death.

DANGER: The refrigeration circuits are high pressure systems.

Hazards exist that could result in personal injury or death. It

is therefore required that the removal and installation of a

hermetic compressor be performed by qualified personnel

only.

Do not lift compressor by copper tubing. To prevent internal damage, compres-

sors must ALWAYS be held upright.
The following instructions include major points of consideration that will ensure

proper installation and protect you from potential personal injury. Please use

the following 13 steps as a checklist, taking each item in order before proceed-

ing to the next. If more information is required, call the Reznor Service Depart-

ment.

WARNINGS: For your safety, wear eye protection and gloves

when handling refrigerant or oil and when brazing. Have a

fire extinguisher nearby when brazing tubing.
