COMPONeNT DefINITIONS

A. Mechanical components

B. Electrical components

C. Hermetic components

Plenum assembly

Diffuser with directional louvers used to direct the conditioned airflow.

Blower wheel

Attaches to the indoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used for distributing unconditioned, room side air through

the heat exchanger and delivering conditioned air into the room.

Slinger fan blade

Attaches to the outdoor side of the fan motor shaft and is used to move outside air through the condenser coil, while

slinging condensate water out of the base pan and onto the condenser coil, thus lowering the temperature and

pressures within the coil.

Thermostat Control

Used to maintain the specified room side comfort level.

System Switch

Used to regulate the operation of the fan motor and the compressor or to turn the unit off. For troubleshooting, refer

to the wiring diagrams and schematics in the back of this service manual.

Solid State Relay

Used to energize the compressor and fan motor. Each unit has 2, 50 amp, 208/230 volt relays.

Capacitor

Reduces line current and steadies the voltage supply, while greatly improving the torque characteristics of the fan

motor and compressor motor.

Fan Motor

Dual shafted fan motor operates the indoor blower wheel and the condenser fan blade simultaneously.

Compressor

Motorized device used to compress refrigerant through the sealed system.

Low ambient bypass (hot gas bypass) valve

Used for low ambient cooling operation, the valve is connected between the discharge line at the compressor and

the suction process tube. It responds to suction pressure, whcih when reduced in the system, causes the valve to

open and bypass hot gas from the high pressure side to the low pressure side of the system. The valve is preset

to open when the suction pressure reaches 50 psig.

Capillary tube

A cylindrical meter device used to evenly distribute the flow of refrigerant to the heat exchangers (coils).
