Unit operation
NOTE: AUTO fan mode is used as the unit
operation example for ALL fan coil units in
this section. Contact your local Carrier dealer
for operation information in other fan modes.
Fan coil units Duct free fan coil units have
a self-contained control system that determines
the set point for fan coil operation, fan mode
operation, and heating mode operation (if
provided). The un-ducted fan coil and ducted
fan coil units are equipped with a thermostat.
For ducted fan coils the field installed
thermostat determines the set point for fan
mode operation, and electric heat operation (if
provided).
On a call for cooling operation by a single fan
coil unit, a signal is sent to the 38H outdoor
unit and energizes a control relay.

The indoor blower starts according to the

normal fan coil unit sequence of operation.
The control relay (in the outdoor unit) initiates
operation of a cooling cycle for the
compressor. As the set point at the fan coil is
satisfied, its individual signal to the 38HK unit
stops.
38 Series outdoor condensing unit The
outdoor unit is equipped with a control that
monitors the indoor fan coil cooling request.
Unit malfunction Each unit is equipped
with a high-pressure switch (HPS), a low
pressure switch (LPS),
Compressor over current protection is
achieved by an internal line break overload,
which automatically resets when the motor
temperature cools to a satisfactory level.

Refrigerant lines
Unit selection
38HK/HQ

Select equipment to match or be slightly less

than anticipated peak load. This provides better
humidity control, fewer unit cycles, and less
part-load operation.
For units used in spaces with high sensible loads,
base equipment selection on unit sensible load,
not on total anticipated load. Adjust for
anticipated room wet bulb temperature to avoid
under sizing equipment.
When selecting equipment that has outdoor air
introduced into the unit, determine the mix
conditions of room air and outdoor air at design
conditions. The cooling capacity tables in this
literature are based on 80 F edb. To select the
proper equipment, adjust for actual dry-bulb and
wet-bulb conditions with the required outdoor
air.

Unit mounting
Unit leveling For reliable operation, units
should be level in all planes.
Clearance Provide adequate clearance for
airflow. See dimensional drawings for proper
clearances. The condensing units are designed
for free-blow application. Air inlets and outlets
should not be restricted. Outdoor fan external
static pressure available is less than 0.1 in. wg.
Unit location Units may be wall mounted, pad
mounted at ground level, roof mounted, or
mounted on or under a deck or patio. Be sure
that water from roof does not drain directly onto
the unit. If 38 Series condensing units are
mounted near a wall, the condenser air should
discharge away from the wall. This will provide
inherent coil protection and the best possible
sound and airflow performance.
Crankcase heater crankcase heaters used
to prevent refrigerant migration during
compressor off cycle (at very low ambient).

General refrigerant line sizing:

1. All charges, line sizing, and capacities are
based on runs of 25 ft. For runs over 25 ft,
consult the appendix A.
NOTE: The minimum line length should be 10 ft.

2. Refrigerant lines should not be buried in the

ground. If it is necessary to bury the lines, not
more than 36 in. should be buried. Provide a
minimum 6 in. vertical rise to the service valves
to prevent refrigerant migration.
3. The refrigerant lines must be insulated. Use a
minimum of 1/2-in. thick insulation. Closed-cell
insulation is recommended in all applications.
4. Special consideration should be given to
isolating interconnecting tubing from the building
structure. Isolate the tubing so that vibration or
noise is not transmitted into the structure.
5. The 38 Series system charge is based on rated
performance and 25 ft of line.

*For tubing line sets between 50 and 175 ft, refer to Residential Split-System Long-Line Application Guideline.
Only when low-pressure switch is used.
Required for Low-Ambient Controller (full modulation feature) and MotorMaster control only.
** Required on Heat Pumps only.

This Long-Line Application Guideline applies

to all Carrier residential air conditioner and
heat pump split systems that have a nominal
capacity of 18,000 to 60,000 Btuh. This
guideline provides required system changes
and accessories necessary for any residential
product having piping requirements greater
than 50 ft or installations where indoor unit is
located above outdoor unit.
This guideline is intended to cover applications
outside the standard Installation Instructions.
This guideline is for standard, single-speed
products. For applications involving 2-speed
products, refer to Step 6 first.
NOTE: The presale literature for outdoor unit
must be referred to in conjunction with this
guideline.
Step 1Approved Systems
Any
residential
indoor/outdoor
unit
combination listed in the outdoor unit presale
literature is an approved system, EXCEPT the
following:
Indoor coils with capillary-metering devices
All equipment less than nominal 18,000 Btuh

22

All 1/4-in. and 3/16in. liquid-line

applications
Any indoor furnace coil/fan coil not listed in
outdoor unit presale literature
Any application which has interconnecting
tubing with an equivalent length greater than
175 ft
Step 2Interconnecting Tubing Sizing
Table 2 lists recommended interconnecting
vapor-line diameters for equivalent total-line
lengths. All residential split systems installed
in long-line applications must use only 3/8-in.
liquid lines. Equivalent line length equals the
linear length (measured) of interconnecting
vapor tubing plus losses due to elbows. (See
Table 3 and Fig. 3.) Liquid lines larger than
3/8-in. OD greatly increase charge quantity of
the system. Excessive charge increases risk of
migration and compressor damage. Table 2
provides the estimated percentage of nominal
cooling-capacity losses based on the standard,
required vapor line size versus what is selected
for the long-line application. Since the vapor
line is the discharge line in heating mode,
losses are minimal.

Step 3Metering Device Sizing

The metering device for a long-line application
must be flexible enough to compensate for
frictional losses due to long refrigerant lines
and installed system design (indoor coil above
or below outdoor unit.) The piston or TXV
provides such flexibility.
The piston should be changed for both indoor
coil and outdoor heat pump unit, depending on
system configuration and line length. Tables 4
and 5 provide necessary changes for a given
application.
Use Tables 4 and 5 when selecting correct
piston size. Outdoor unit presale literature
must be consulted to determine metering
devices specified for standard applications.
After determining standard application piston
size(s), refer to Tables 4 and 5 as they relate to
system design (outdoor unit above or below
indoor unit) per equivalent length of tubing.
NOTE: If total equivalent horizontal length is
100 ft or longer, both indoor and outdoor
pistons must be increased 1 full piston size, in
addition to changes required by Tables 4 and 5.
After finding appropriate change in piston
size, add or subtract the change from original
piston number. If piston size is decreased,
round new piston number down to nearest
common piston number found in Table 6. If
piston size is increased, round new piston

number up to nearest common piston number

found in Table 6.
EXAMPLE:
An 042 size heat pump is 75 ft above an 042 size
fan coil. The 042 size heat-pump presale literature
specifies a size 80 indoor piston and size 63 outdoor
piston. To establish correct indoor piston size for a
75 ft vertical separation, refer to Table 4. For a 75 ft
equivalent line length, the piston change is -5.
Therefore subtract 5 from the original indoor piston
size of 80: 80 5 = 75
Table 6 provides common piston sizes. In this
instance, 75 is not listed, therefore round DOWN to
next piston size, which would be 74. To establish
correct outdoor piston size for a 75 ft vertical
separation, refer to Table 5. For a 75 ft equivalent
line length, the piston change is +4. Therefore add 4
to the original outdoor piston size of 63: 63 + 4 = 67
Since 67 is listed in Table 6, that is the piston which
should be used. If a 67 size piston were not listed, it
would be necessary to round UP to next piston size.

38HK/HQ

Calculate the linear length of vapor tube

required, adding any losses for the total
number of elbows for application. (See Table
6.) Using this equivalent length, select desired
vapor-line size from Table 2. Subtract the
nominal percentage loss from outdoor-unit
presale-literature Detailed Cooling Capacities
data for the given indoor/outdoor combination.
Reference all notes of Table 2.
NOTE:
When
specifying
vapor-line
insulation, be aware of the following standard
practice:
All standard accessory-tubing kits are supplied
with 3/8-in. insulation on vapor line.
For minimal capacity loss in long-line
application, 1/2-in. insulation should be
specified.
For reference only, the close cell insulation
material specified for accessory tubing kits is a
compound of vinyl, neoprene, or nitrile blends
of these polymers. Performance requirements
include thermal range of 0 F to 200F (-17.8
C to 93 C) and a maximum thermal
conductivity of 0.28.
NOTE: Special consideration must be given to
isolating interconnecting tubing from building
structure. Isolate tubing so that vibration or
noise is not transmitted into structure.

Step 4Liquid-Line Solenoid And

Tubing Configuration
There are 2 types of liquid-line solenoids: 1 for
single-flow applications and the other for biflow applications. The purpose of having 2
solenoids is to minimize the valve internalpressure drop in accordance with refrigerant
flow direction and liquid migration to the
compressor. The bi-flow solenoid is designed
to have minimal refrigerant-pressure drop in
either flow direction, which makes it suitable
for heat pump usage. Refer to Table 7 for
liquid-line solenoid kit part numbers.
NOTE: When installing a liquid-line solenoid,
the system may require a minimum 60-va lowvoltage transformer.
Each type of solenoid has an indicator flow
arrow stamped on the valve body. When
solenoid is closed (not energized) and pressure
is applied in direction of flow arrow, complete
shutoff occurs. If pressure is applied against
direction of flow arrow, leakage through valve
occurs. When determining proper installation
of valve within liquid line, 2 considerations
must be made:
1. Direction of flow arrow
2. Where solenoid is installed in system.
TXVs can only be substituted for liquid-line
solenoids in singleflow air conditioning
systems. Bi-flow TXVs allow liquid migration
to coldest point during off cycles, which could
allow liquid into compressor. Fig. 2 through 5
detail proper installation of liquid-line solenoid
and provide applications where TXVs may be
substituted. Reference all notes of the
appropriate figures.

38HK/HQ

Step 5Charging Information

Weigh in appropriate refrigerant charge, then
use the standard practices of superheatcharging method for piston applications and
subcooling-charging
method
for TXV
applications to confirm correct charge. The
standard charging methods can be found on
outdoor unit-information plate, in unit
Installation Instructions, or in the Service
Manual. Since total system charge is increased
for long-line applications, it may be necessary
to calculate the additional refrigerant charge.
Since long-line applications only involve 3/8in. liquid lines, the additional refrigerant
charge required is 0.6 oz of Refrigerant 22 (R22) per ft of 3/8-in. liquid line over 15 ft.

EXAMPLE:
To calculate additional charge required for a 25ft
line set: 25 ft 15 ft
= 10 ft X 0.6 oz/ft = 6 oz of additional charge

The rating-plate charge of a given outdoor unit

is for a standard application of 15 ft of
interconnecting tubing. The rating-plate charge
can be found on outdoor unit-rating plate or in
outdoor unit-presale literature. Long-line
applications do not require additional oil
charge.

*The estimated percentage of cooling capacity that must be subtracted from the Detailed Cooling Capacities data specified in outdoor
unit-presale literature for any given indoor/outdoor combination.
**Vapor-line diameter that may be selected for a long-line application. If smaller vapor lines are selected but not specified within the
table, large capacity losses will occur and defrost capabilities will be reduced. If larger vapor lines are selected but not specified within
the table, refrigerant oil return will be impaired due to velocity losses.
N/RNot recommended due to excessive loss of capacity.

Step 62Speed Applications

Outdoor units may be connected to indoor
section using accessory tubing package or
field-supplied refrigerant grade tubing or
correct size and condition. In long-line
applications, 2speed units are handled
basically the same way as the single-speed
units. There are 2 major differences:
1. For tubing up to 100 ft: Liquid tube
diameters and refrigerant connection diameters
for all sizes are 3/8 in.

24

Vapor tube diameter for the 036 and 048 is 7/8

in.; 060 is 11/8
Vapor refrigerant connection diameter for all
sizes is 7/8 in.
