Install Field Insulation
Protect insulation from weld heat damage and weld splat-
ter. Cover with wet canvas cover during water piping
installation.
When installing insulation at the job site, insulate the fol-
lowing components (see Fig. 24 and Table 15):
• compressor motor
• cooler shell
• cooler tube sheets
• suction piping
• motor cooling drain
• oil cooler refrigerant side tubing
• utility vessel (low side)
Additional insulation of condenser and compressor com-
ponents and lines may be necessary to prevent condensation
on these components.
NOTE: Carrier does not provide waterbox insulation. Insu-
lation of the waterbox covers must be field supplied at the
jobsite. When insulating the waterbox covers, allow enough
room for removal of the waterbox covers during servicing.
FACTORY INSULATION (OPTIONAL) — Optional
factory insulation is available for the evaporator shell and
tube sheets, suction pipe, compressor motors, and refriger-
ant drain line(s). Insulation applied at the factory is
