The Frick® Unit Cooler (SC) evaporator incorporates the fin-
est in engineering design, materials, and corrosion protection
to provide a rugged, long-lasting unit. This manual provides
the information needed for safe installation, operation, and
maintenance. Close attention to the instructions and guide-
lines provided in this manual will ensure dependable opera-
tion, performance and a long satisfactory unit life.
Before rigging or beginning work on the unit, Frick recom-
mends that experienced refrigeration contractors, operators,
and maintenance technicians be formally trained on the SC
design and features - reading this manual is a minimum
requirement. After installation, the unit must be properly con-
nected to appropriately designed and installed refrigeration
systems. The engineering plans, piping layouts, etc. for the
SC and associated system components must be detailed in
accordance with local/governing codes and the best industry
standards and practices such as those outlined in current
industry literature.

Figure 2-1. Rigging Requirements

 SC SERIES UNIT COOLERS
INSTALLATION - OPERATION
Section 2.0 Installation
2.1 RIGGING INSTRUCTIONS
Units may be shipped one on top of
the other. DO NOT attempt to remove
more than one unit at a time.
All units are designed for removal from the truck by forklift
or crane. Be careful to lift units evenly and balanced to avoid
undue stress on the equipment.
When using a forklift, lift only at the lifting beam provided
between the shipping legs. The forks must be long enough
to reach the support beams on both sides of the unit.
When using a crane, use lifting supports shown on the rigging
drawing. Do not lift from the hole in the top of the support leg.
Be sure to use a shackle or clevis as shown in Figure 2-1.
See lifting instruction Figure 2-1. Rigging Requirements
for details.
2.2 CEILING HUNG UNITS
Mounting points are designed for ½"-10 threaded rods.
Hang units using all the hanging points provided. NOTE:
Refer to customer submittal drawings for dimensional
data before installing units. See Figure 2-2. Mounting
Requirements for unit location.
Figure 2-2. Mounting Requirements
Refer to customer submittal drawings for hanger bracket
locations.
Hanger brackets have, nonthreaded holes provided for ½"-10
threaded rods. Nuts and washers are not included.
Tighten the units to the ceiling or bar joist. The top of the
unit should be level to ensure that all rods provide equal
support.
Do not use shipping legs to hang
units.
S200-330 IOM (NOV 05)
Page 5
2.3 LEG MOUNTED UNITS
Once unit is placed in the desired location, secure legs to
floor or steelwork to prevent movement. The top should be
level and the unit should be supported along its entire length
(i.e.: every leg should be secured). NOTE: Refer to cus-
tomer submittal drawings for dimensional data before
installing units.
Section 3.0 Operation
3.1 REFRIGERANT PIPING
The unit connections are not de-
signed to support the weight of pip-
ing, valves, or fittings. Connections
are equipped with threaded pipe caps, welded or brazed pipe
plugs, or flanges. See certified prints for connection type.
Refrigerant lines must be sized properly to ensure satisfac-
tory system operation. The refrigerant connection sizes
furnished on the coils may not be the same size required to
meet system performance criteria. System design and line
size selection are the responsibility of others. A qualified
refrigeration engineer should develop a system design. Note
that system design will impact coil performance. Confirm
that the system design parameters match the coil design
parameters stated on the certified submittal drawings. The SC
unit should not be operated with an evaporator temperature
below -20°F.
Avoid hydraulic shock or hammering
in refrigerant liquid lines or any lines
that may contain liquid refrigerant.
Hydraulic shock can occur in hot gas lines when liquid is
present. Liquid slugs traveling at high velocity can cause
severe damage to refrigerant connections on the coil as well
as damage to other piping and control valves.
Avoid hydraulic lockup caused by
trapped liquid. With an increase in
ambient temperature around the
confined liquid, the expansion pressure could cause
refrigerant lines to burst.
For HFC refrigerants, piping systems must be properly
evacuated to remove noncondensibles and moisture prior
to the introduction of refrigerant. A vacuum of 750 microns
is minimum requirement to remove moisture.
NOTE: If the system is not charged with refrigerant
immediately after evacuation or installation of piping,
a 100% dry nitrogen charge must be maintained in the
system to prevent internal corrosive damage to the coils
and piping. When isolating coils or piping for service or
maintenance, ensure that all liquid lines and coils are free
of refrigerant before closing isolation hand valves.
Before connecting the refrigerant lines to the coil, verify
that the piping and control valves on the unit are properly
supported.
Design all piping to minimize the transfer of vibration to the
unit and to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of
the piping.

3.2 ALUMINUM COILS

Special isolation flanges are provided to prevent electrolysis
from steel to aluminum. Please see 1.2 Shipment Inspec-
tion to ensure all components of the flange kit have been
provided. Ensure that these kits are properly installed during
unit installation.

The use of threading compounds at coil flanges with particals

of metals (i.e. copper) embedded in the compounds can
cause corrosion due to contact of dissimlar metals. Double
check the compatibility of your construction materials with
the coil material of construction.

3.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A disconnect, as required by local code, should be provided
for each motor circuit. The standard motor has internal ther-
mal overload protection; therefore, multiple motors may be
started from each circuit. Special motors for inverter duty do
not have internal thermal overloads.
Electrical circuits should be sized to account for low tempera-
ture operation. Note that the motors will draw higher amps
as the room temperature drops. Multiply the total full-load
amps for each motor circuit by the following factors to size the
electrical circuit. Voltage in legs of three-phase power should Figure 3-1 Common Condensate Drain Layout
be within 5% of each other to prevent shortened motor life.

AIR DENSITY CORRECTION FACTOR

Room Temp °F Factor

+50 1.04
+30 1.08
+20 1.11

-10 1.18

With factory wired motors, verify that the supply voltage is

the same as the motor nameplate voltage.
For field wiring, check the wiring terminals inside the motor
to ensure that they are wired for proper supply voltage. The
wiring diagram is attached to the motor housing. Also confirm
fan rotation direction as shown on the fan blades.

3.4 MOTORS
Motors are permanently lubricated with low-temperature
grease. Special motors (without internal overload protection)
will be required for operation with variable speed drives. Figure 3-2 Individual Condensate Drain Layout

taminants (chemicals or organisms) that will cause corrosion
to coil material (galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper).
Coil Cleaning – Dirty coils trap contaminants, corrosive ele-
ments, and microbiological organisms that can contribute to
coil corrosion via their metabolic processes.

Defrost – Do not allow ice buildup. If a coil remains partially
frosted after defrost, it is unlikely to ever completely clean
itself in a subsequent defrost. If a coil is allowed to build ice
into a solid block, the ice can cause stresses capable of
breaking coil tubes and piping. Never take shortcuts to clear
ice from a coil by applying an open flame to melt ice or frost.
Do not allow ice to build on fans, fan guards, and fan panels.
Ice on fans can cause dangerous vibration. Ice on guards
can block airflow. Ice on fan panels, guards, and fans has the
potential to bridge the clearance between the fan tip and the
orifice which could cause damage to a fan and unit.
Avoid hydraulic lockup caused by
trapped liquid. With an increase in
ambient temperature around the
confined liquid, the expansion pressure could cause
refrigerant lines to burst.
CLEAN YOUR COILS!
Cleaning agents or other chemicals used anywhere in the
room or adjacent areas must not be corrosive to metals and
other materials used in the construction of the unit. These
cleaning agents can be drawn up into the unit by the fans,
even when applied far from the unit. Consult the Material
Safety Data Sheet for your cleaning solution.
Coils – Moisture inside refrigeration systems is undesir-
able and can cause internal corrosion, greatly reducing the
life of your coil. Monitor moisture levels in your refrigerant
system.
