PHASING
Check for proper compressor rotation. If the blower or
compressors rotate in the wrong direction at start-up,
the electrical connection to the unit is misphased.
Change the incoming line connection phasing to obtain
proper rotation. (Scroll compressors operate in only
one direction. If the scroll is drawing low amperage,
has similar suction and discharge pressures, or pro-
ducing a high noise level, the scroll is misphased).
SUPPLY AIR BLOWERS
These blowers have either 3-speed direct drive motors,
or single speed motors equipped with a belt drive. Belt
drive units have a variable pitch motor pulley that
allows the blower speed to be adjusted.
CHECKING SUPPLY AIR CFM
The RPM of the supply air blower will depend on the
required CFM, the unit accessories or options and the
static resistances of both the supply and the return air
duct systems. With this information, the motor speed
tap (direct drive) or the motor pulley number of turns
open (belt drive) can be determined from the Blower
Performance Data Tables.
Note the following:
1. The supply air CFM must be within the limitations
shown in the Unit Application Data Table 1.
2. Pulleys can be adjusted in half turn increments.
3. The tension on the belt should be adjusted as
shown in the Belt Adjustment Figure 12.
Start the supply air blower motor. Adjust the resis-
tances in both the supply and the return air duct sys-
tems to balance the air distribution throughout the
conditioned space. The job specifications may require
that this balancing be done by someone other than the
equipment installer.
To check the supply air CFM after the initial balancing
has been completed:
1. Remove the two 5/16” dot plugs from the blower
motor and the filter access panels shown in Figure
11.
2. Insert at least 8" of 1/4 inch tubing into each of
these holes for sufficient penetration into the air
flow on both sides of the indoor coil.
NOTE: The tubes must be inserted and held in a posi-
tion perpendicular to the air flow so that veloc-
ity pressure will not affect the static pressure
readings.
3. Using an inclined manometer, determine the pres-
sure drop across a dry evaporator coil. Since the
moisture on an evaporator coil may vary greatly,
measuring the pressure drop across a wet coil
Scroll compressors require proper rotation to
operate correctly. Do not change the internal
wiring to make the blower, condenser fans, or
compressor rotate correctly. Change the
incoming power to the main terminal block to
obtain proper rotation.
