3. Install Suction Line

Install suction line(s) from the compressor to the
suction connection(s) which are stubbed through the
side of the cabinet.

4. Install the Liquid Line and Thermal
Expansion Valve (TEV) (by others)

Liquid line openings vary by coil size and
circuiting and are field supplied. Follow the TEV
recommendations for installation to avoid damaging
the valve. If the valve is externally equalized, use a
tubing cutter to cut off the plugged end of the factory
installed equalizer line. Use a de-burring tool to
remove any loose metal from the equalizer line and
attach it to the TEV. If the valve is internally equalized,
the factory installed equalizer line can be left as is.

5. Mount the Remote Sensing Bulb
(by others)

The expansion valve’s remote sensing bulb should be
securely strapped to the horizontal run of the suction
line at the 3 or 9 o’clock position and insulated.

6. Check Coil Piping for Leaks

Pressurize the coil to 100 psig with dry nitrogen or
other suitable gas. The coil should be left pressurized
for a minimum of 10 minutes. If the coil holds the
pressure, the hook-up can be considered leak free.
If the pressure drops by 5 psig or less, re-pressurize
the coil and wait another 10 minutes. If the pressure
drops again, there is likely one or more small leaks
which should be located and repaired. Pressure losses
greater than 5 psig indicate a large leak that should be
isolated and repaired.

7. Evacuate and Charge the Coil

Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the coil and any
interconnecting piping that has been open to the
atmosphere. Measure the vacuum in the piping using
a micron gauge located as far from the pump as
possible. Evacuate the coil to 500 microns or less,
and then close the valve between the pump and the
system. If the vacuum holds to 500 microns or less

IMPORTANT

Guidelines for the installation of direct expansion

cooling coils have been provided to insure proper

performance and longevity of the coils. These are

general guidelines that may have to be tailored

to meet the specific requirements of any one job.

As always, a qualified party or individual should

perform the installation and maintenance of any coil.

Protective equipment such as safety glasses, steel

toe boots and gloves are recommended during the

installation and maintenance of the coil.

IMPORTANT

All field brazing and welding should be performed

using high quality materials and an inert gas purge

(such as nitrogen) to reduce oxidation of the internal

surface of the coil.

IMPORTANT

All field piping must be self-supporting and flexible

enough to allow for the thermal expansion of the coil.

NOTE

If a hot gas bypass kit was provided by others, refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Verify Nozzle Placement

Inspect the refrigerant
distributor and verify
that the nozzle is in
place. The nozzle is
generally held in place
by a retaining ring or is
an integral part of
the distributor itself.
