30HXA REFRIGERANT PIPING (See Fig. 7) — Take
care when running the refrigerant piping from the 30HXA
unit to the remote condenser(s) to avoid excessive pres-
sure drops. The pressure drop using R-134a refrigerant is
different than when using R-22 refrigerant. See Tables 2 and
3 for an example for a 2 F (1.1 C) pressure drop in saturated
temperature in the discharge (hot gas) line and liquid line,
respectively. Refer to Fig. 9 and 10 for line sizing informa-
tion for the discharge and liquid lines for 30HXA (R-134a)
units.

NOTES:
1. Piping shown is for general point-of-connection only and is not in-
tended to show details for a specific installation. Certified field wir-
ing and dimensional drawings are available upon request. The 30HXA
units should be installed using certified drawings.
2. Refer to Carrier System Design Manual for details regarding pip-
ing techniques.
3. Piping and pressure relief devices are field supplied.
4. Vent pipes properly per local codes.
