Dual-Circuit Condensing Unit: Evaporator Coil with Four Distributors
Figure 50. Dual-circuit evaporator coil with four distributors
1.
Pitch the liquid line slightly—1 inch/
10 feet [1 cm/3 m]—so the refrigerant
drains toward the evaporator.
2. Provide one expansion valve per
distributor.
3. Slightly pitch the outlet line from the
suction header toward the suction
riser—that is, 1 inch/10 feet [1 cm/
3 m] in the direction of flow. Use the
tube diameter that matches the
suction-header connection.
4. Arrange the suction line so the
refrigerant gas leaving the coil flows
downward, past the lowest suction-
header outlet, before turning upward.
Use a double-elbow configuration to
isolate the thermal expansion valve
bulb from other suction headers.
5. For horizontal tubing, use the tube
diameter recommended by the
condensing unit manufacturer.
6. For the vertical riser, use the tube
diameter recommended by the
condensing unit manufacturer.
Assure the top of the riser is higher
than the evaporator coil.
7.
Pitch the suction line slightly—1 inch/
10 feet [1 cm/3 m]—so the refrigerant
drains toward the evaporator.
8. Insulate the suction line.
9. The top of the Circuit 1 suction riser
must be higher than the bottom
evaporator coil. Use the tube
diameter recommended by the
condensing unit manufacturer for the
riser.
10. The top of the Circuit 2 suction riser
must be higher than the top
evaporator coil. Use the tube
diameter recommended by the
condensing unit manufacturer for the
riser.
