REMOTE RACK SYSTEM
1. INTRODUCTION
Kairak is committed to producing environmentally friendly and sustainable product offerings without
sacrificing quality or reliability. Kairak Remote Rack system assures customers maximum energy savings and
a substantially smaller environmental footprint. Kairak systems have been successfully integrated into LEED
certified buildings.
The Kairak air cooled Remote Rack cooling system utilizes safe HFC’s and offers excellent operating
efficiency by using multi-circuited condensers for up to 20 compressors and ice makers. This high operating
efficiency is made through effective use of the condenser coil surface area. The large condenser coils
provide the unit with summer design temperature differences (TD’s) lower than traditional designs allow.
Lower design TD’s produce lower condensing temperatures which produce lower compression ratios and
higher compressor capacities, thereby reducing operating cost. Kairak Remote Rack systems are easier to
install, easier to service and much less expensive to operate. Complete factory assembly eliminates on-sight
construction costs of built-up systems by refrigeration technicians and electricians in the field. The Kairak
Remote Rack system is designed primarily for institutional food service operations including: hospitals,
universities, schools, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores.
Kairak Remote Rack systems pull fresh air over the compressor bodies to reduce their operating
temperature. Compressor ventilation has become increasingly important to extend its life span. R-404A
refrigerant is used for all applications.
2. COMPLETION REPORT – SERVICE RECORD – WARRANTY
The Kairak completion report and record is located at the back of this manual. This must be filled
out and a copy sent to Kairak for their review to begin warranty coverage of your rack system.

3. FEATURES
3.1 CONDENSING UNIT
Kairak Remote Rack systems will typically provide many years of trouble-free operation with
minimal maintenance. The length of service from a condensing unit is greatly affected by the care
taken during the original installation.
Cleanliness is absolutely mandatory when installing a condensing unit. Utmost care has been taken
at the factory to insure that the unit is free of all contamination. The factory-applied seals must not
be removed until the unit is ready for installation. All tubing, valves, and fittings must be carefully
inspected to insure cleanliness.
The required electrical supply must be provided to the condensing unit control panel. The voltage
at the motor-compressor terminals should be checked during start-up and unit operation under full
load to insure a tolerance of +/- 10% of the system nameplate rating.
The lubrication recommendations for the motor-compressor and fan motors (where applicable)
must be carefully adhered to.

KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 5 REV: 2-2014
CAUTION: Do not remove factory-applied seals before installation to aid in keeping contaminates
from entering system.
3.2 REFRIGERANT
R404a is used for all walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, under counter refrigerated bases, pan chillers
and prep tables.
3.3 CONTROL PANEL
Each Kairak Remote Rack system is provided with a pre-wired control panel for single point
connection with main disconnects.
The control panel is designed to assure efficient unit operation and provide a pre-selected
sequence of operation during the refrigeration and defrost cycles. Each control panel is equipped
with a main disconnect, motor compressor breakers, contactors, fan motor capacitor, defrost time
clock for freezer, and wiring diagram for service.
The control panel only requires 3 wires for power supply (and neutral if indicated) plus ground
wire, at least 4 wires for defrosts heaters and evaporator coil fan motors in freezer. All system
circuits are labeled for easy identification.
3.4 ELECTRICAL DEFROST
An electrical defrost heater in the freezer is field connected to the time clock in the control panel.
Defrost is initiated by the time clock and stopped by a termination solenoid in the time clock
connected to defrost limit thermostat in the freezer coil. The time clock is set to fail safe
termination period at 45 minutes.
NOTE: Refer to electrical schematics to determine control wire quantities for defrost and alarm features.
NOTE: The freezer requires four defrost cycles per day: 4:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.,
4:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M.
PAGE 6 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
3.5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Kairak Remote Rack system is equipped with 208-230 volts, 3 phase, 60 hertz power supply.
460-480 volts power supply is available on request.
3.6 STANDARD COMPONENTS
The Kairak Remote Rack system consists of multiple hermetic/glacier scroll compressors, multi-
circuited condenser with heavy duty fan motors, oversized receivers, and factory installed
accessories, evaporator coils with T-Stat, solenoid valve, TX valve, electrical panel and all electrical
controls.
3.7 ACCESSORIES – STANDARD
Standard accessories factory installed in the Kairak Remote Rack system include: drier, sight glass,
head pressure control, dual pressure control, pre-wired control panel and fan cycle switches.
3.8 HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
A head pressure control valve is provided as a standard on all outdoor rack systems to provide
stable head pressure in low ambient temperatures. The valve will maintain 180 lbs. PSIG in the
receiver. This is accomplished by the modulation of the valve regulating flow from the condenser
and the discharge line. It provides a minimum head pressure to insure refrigerant flow at the
expansion valve. It also provides a minimum head pressure to assure refrigerant flow at the TXV
and provide hot gas to the receivers for cold start situations.
3.9 ETL APPROVAL
The Kairak Remote Rack system is approved by Intertek and displays the ETL label on the control
panel. ETL listed under the standard for heating and cooling equipment, ANSI/UL Std. 1995-
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 236 M05 (Intertek #4004142)
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 7 REV: 2-2014
3.10 WALK IN EVAPORATOR COILS
FREEZER
A lower temperature electric defrost low silhouette evaporator coil for the freezer is provided
with each Kairak Remote Rack system. The evaporator coil draws air in through the coil and
discharges it through the fans. For best results, the evaporator coil should be located 18” from
the back wall and blow towards the door. Thermostat, solenoid valve and TX valve are installed
in the evaporator coil at the factory. A suction line P-Trap should be installed at evaporator coil
by installer in the field for improved oil return.
COOLER
A medium temperature low silhouette evaporator coil for the cooler is provided with each Kairak
Remote Rack system. Air defrost is used for defrosting the evaporator coil. The evaporator coils are
provided with a thermostat, solenoid valve and TX valve and air defrost timer. Units are pre-piped
and pre-wired for final connections. A suction line P-Trap should be installed at evaporator coil by
installer in the field.
CAUTION: Kairak Remote Rack systems are tested and assembled under strict quality
assurance procedures. Each unit is tested and charged with nitrogen prior to shipment. Use
caution and exercise safety procedures at all times when preparing for final hook-up.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1 RECEIPT AND INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENT
The utmost care has been taken in crating your Kairak Remote Rack system to protect it against
damage in transit. Carefully inspect your unit for damage that may have occurred during delivery. If
damage is detected, you should save all crating materials and make a note on the carrier’s Bill of
Lading describing the damage. Pictures should be taken to document the damage. A freight claim
should be filed immediately with the freight carrier. If damage is later noted, either during or
immediately after installation, contact the respective carrier and file a freight claim. There is a
fifteen (15) day limit to file a freight damage claim with most carriers. Under no condition may a
damaged unit be returned to Kairak without first obtaining written permission (return
authorization). Any damage must be documented and reported to Kairak. The documentation as
well as pictures showing damage should be included. Contact Kairak customer care at (800) 833-
1106.
5.2 LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Kairak Remote Rack system is a heavy piece of machinery and can weigh from approximately
500 to 10, 000 lbs. Careful consideration of lifting procedures should be made before the unit is
lifted by any means. Cables or other load-bearing devices must not be allowed to press against the
unit frame body, piping, electrical conduit or the motor control panel. The only area of the unit
designed to carry the lifting load is the base. Lifting loads should be distributed evenly around the
base to avoid twisting. When lifting the unit by crane, the lifting space provided in the lower
portion of the base frame is the recommended attachment points for the lifting cables. (See Figure
3). A spreader bar or similar device should be used to prevent the lifting cables from contacting the
unit
PAGE 10 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
WARNING: CABLES OR OTHER LOAD-BEARING DEVICES MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO PRESS
AGAINST THE UNIT FRAME BODY, PIPING, ELECTRICAL CONDUIT OR THE MOTOR CONTROL
PANEL.
5.3 LOCATION AND VENTILATION
The Kairak Remote Rack unit must be located in an area which allows easy access for installation
and service of all electrical lines, refrigeration piping and any accessory equipment. The unit must
be level to insure proper lubrication. A minimum of 3 feet clearance must be provided on all sides
of the unit.
Equipment should be mounted on a smooth, hard, level surface. Mounting surface should be rigid
and provisions should be made to prevent noise transmission (structural) to surrounding areas. Air
SPREADER
PLATFORM
SPREADER
Figure 3
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 11 REV: 2-2014
cooled equipment should not be installed under low structural overhangs which can cause
condenser air recirculation restriction. Two units side by side should have a minimum of 1 ½ unit
width between them. Care should be taken to prevent air from other sources from entering
condenser if this air is at an elevated temperature.
5.4 ROOF PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS
The suggested roof platform requirements are shown in Figure 4. The location and installation of all
equipment should be in accordance with all local code requirements. The unit can usually be placed
directly on the roof platform since each compressor is mounted on vibration isolation pads. For
light roof construction vibration isolation pads can be used underneath the supporting frame.
Figure 4
5.5 PITCH POCKET
A. 9” x 24” pitch pocket must be provided for refrigeration lines. After lines are installed,
backfill opening with hot pitch and make sure there are no leaks.
5.6 ELECTRICAL
To insure operation of equipment and reduce the possibility of electrical power interruption, the
following precautions must be observed:
PAGE 12 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
A. All electrical must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code and existing
local codes.
B. The power supply must be the same as that which appears on the data plate of the
motors.
C. An adequate power supply must be provided.
D. Voltage fluctuations in excess of +/- 10% should be corrected.
E. 120 volts, 1 phase, 60 Hz power supply must be provided for walk-in cooler.
F. All unit wiring terminals should be checked for tightness before power is applied to the
equipment.
G. When wiring is completed, fan motors should be checked for proper rotation. All fan
motors of multiple fan equipment have been factory wired to operate with the same
rotation. If rotation is found incorrect, reverse two of the three leads on the main
incoming power.
Before starting a Kairak Remote Rack System, check that all breakers and motor protective devices
are in place and that all wiring is secure. A wiring diagram for troubleshooting the unit is included
on the cover.

6. REFRIGERATION
6.1 PIPING
Connect suction and liquid lines with the evaporator coils and condensing unit on the roof. Leave
access tubing in the attic space and backfill opening with hot pitch after installation so that there
are no leaks. Precautions must be taken to insure no foreign material enters the pipes during
installation.
All piping must be supported with hangers that can withstand the combined weight of tubing,
insulation, valves and fluid in the tubing.
Refrigeration piping must be in compliance with the National and local code and apply good
refrigeration standard practice for proper operation of the system.

KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 17 REV: 2-2014
6.2 STANDARD PIPING PROCEDURES
A. Refrigeration pipes should be sized properly. (See Chart 5)
B. For the point of connection at the Remote Rack unit and the condensing unit or
evaporator fixture, the pipe sizes may not be the same size as the interconnecting pipes.
C. Use only dehydrated copper tubing listed for refrigeration grade and application. Only
long radius elbows are to be used.
D. Use a minimum of 15% silver solder alloy on suction and liquid lines. Dry nitrogen should
be passed through when brazing the lines at a low pressure to eliminate oxidation and
scaling.
E. Suction lines should be sloped ½” for every 10 feet towards the remote rack. “P” traps
should be installed at the bottom of each suction riser and at least every 10 feet of the
riser. Inverted traps are also necessary on the top of the risers. This will allow good oil
return for the compressors. Double risers are highly recommended on the large suction
lines with a high capacity and parallel system, ran parallel, to compensate during
minimum load and full load.
F. Suction lines should be insulated using listed insulation and plenum rated. The installer
must select the correct thickness of the insulation material. At a minimum, insulation
should have a ¾” wall thickness. Any pipe insulation located outdoors should be covered
and waterproofed to protect it from rain and UV.
G. Installers should provide and add isolation valves on suction and liquid to be able to
isolate and service evaporator coils in walk-ins, fixtures, reach-ins, prep tables, under
counters or any other units.
6.3 LEAK TESTING
After all refrigeration lines are connected, the entire system must be leak tested. Particular care
should be given to those parts which will be inaccessible at a later date. Pressurize pipes with
nitrogen at 300 PSI for at least 48 hours. The use of an electric leak protector is highly
recommended because of its greater sensitivity to small leaks.
PAGE 18 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
6.4 SYSTEM EVACUATION
With refrigerant piping completed and leak tested, equipment is ready to evacuate. Do not use
compressor to evacuate system. A quality vacuum pump of 500 microns vacuum is necessary for
adequate and dependable system vacuum. Moisture in a refrigeration system can cause corrosion,
expansion valve freeze-up and oil sludge.
Attach vacuum pump to both high and low side of the system through compressor service valves
and evacuate to 500 microns (all service valves*, hand valves and solenoids must be open during
evacuation). It is suggested that the vacuum pump be run for a period of time after vacuum has
been reached.
*Service valves are back setting valves and must be mid-position to open both sides of the system.
6.5 SYSTEM CHARGING (LESS FLOODED HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL)
With system wired, piped and evacuated, the unit is ready for refrigerant charging. All charging
lines and manifolds must be evacuated prior to admitting refrigerant into the system to prevent
contaminating the system with non-condensable.
Connect charging line to receiver outlet valve and admit “liquid” refrigerant into high side of
system until flow stops due to pressure equalization between high side and drum pressure.
Backseat outlet valve and disconnect charging line.
Connect charging line to compressor suction service valve and admit “vapor” into low side system.
Energize equipment and continue to admit vapor into low side of system until liquid line sight glass
clears, indicating a fully charged system. It may be necessary to defeat low pressure control on
initial start to prevent nuisance trip until low side pressure is above cut out point of control.
6.6 SYSTEM CHARGING (WITH FLOODED HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL)
Initial charging is the same as outlined in “Less flooded head pressure control”.
Do not adjust control valves. These are either factory preset or non-adjustable, depending on size.
The non-adjustable valves are set at 180 psi for by pass.
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 19 REV: 2-2014
Set unloaders (if supplied) to load compressors to 100% while charging. Add additional refrigerant
to bring total up to required charge as listed on the system ETL label located on the control panel
or the system drawings provided. For the low side charge, energize equipment and continue to
admit vapor until liquid line sight glass clears indicating a fully charged system. It may be necessary
to defeat low pressure control on initial start to prevent nuisance trip until low side pressure is
above cut out point of control.
This is a continuation of “system charging” and must be performed before equipment can be left
operating and unattended. This will involve checking and adjusting of all safety and operating
controls (pressure and temperature controls have not been set at the factory). Adjust and confirm
that the settings are correct and that all controls function properly. Do not attempt to function
safety controls without some means of stopping compressor in event of extreme high or low
pressure conditions that could damage the equipment. If controls fail to function at set points,
determine cause and correct. Jumping any safety control other than for testing purposes is
dangerous to personnel and equipment and nullifies equipment warranty.
Energize crankcase heaters and allow a minimum of 24 hours operation before a compressor start.
A. High Pressure Control -connect a gauge to the compressor discharge service valve. Stop
the condenser airflow by stopping fans on air cooled equipment or restricting water
flow on water cooled equipment. Control should open immediately when discharge
pressure reaches control set point.
B. Low Pressure (Pump-Down) Control – Connect a gauge to the compressor suction
service valve. Throttle receiver outlet valve to lower suction pressure at compressor.
Compressor should pump-down and be de-energized when suction pressure reached
“cut-out” setting of control. Open receiver outlet valve and observe rise in pressure at
compressor suction connection. Compressor should be energized when pressure
reaches “cut-in” setting of control.
C. Oil Pressure Control – Copeland Compressor – jumper between terminals T1 and T2 of
the oil pressure safety control. Compressor should run approximately 120 seconds and
cycle off. Remove jumper and reset control. Check operating oil pressure. This is the
differential between oil pump discharge pressure and suction pressure and should be a
minimum of 10 psig. After several hours running time check oil level in compressor,
acceptable oil level is approximately ¼ on sight glass.
PAGE 20 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
6.7 THERMAL EXPANSION VALVE
Adjust superheat setting to job requirements. To correctly determine superheat:
A. Measure the temperature of the suction line at the point the bulb is clamped.
B. Obtain the suction pressure that exists in the suction line at the bulb location by either
of the following methods:
If the valve is externally equalized, a gauge in the external equalizer line will
indicate the desired pressure directly and accurately.
OR
Read the gauge pressure at the suction valve of the compressor. Add the
estimated pressure drop through the suction line between bulb location and
compressor suction valve to the gauge pressure.
The sum of the gauge reading and the estimated pressure drop will equal the approximate suction
line pressure at the bulb.
C. Convert the pressure obtained (above) to saturated evaporator temperature by using a
temperature-pressure chart.
D. Subtract the temperature reading of the suction line at the point of the bulb and the
converted saturated evaporator temperature from the chart. The difference is
superheat.
E. (Figure 9) illustrates a typical example of superheat measurement on a refrigeration
system using refrigerant 22. The temperature of the suction line at the bulb location is
read at 52°F. The suction pressure at the evaporator bulb location is read at 68 psig
which is equivalent to a 40°F saturation temperature. 40°F subtracted from 52°F = 12°F
superheat.
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 21 REV: 2-2014
Figure 9
6.8 HOT GAS BYPASS
(If Supplied) connect gauge to compressor suction service valve. Throttle receiver outlet valve to
lower suction pressure at compressor. Hot gas regulator should begin to open as suction pressure
approaches design suction pressure. This should be done before unit has bulled down to design
condition.
6.9 FAN CYCLE CONTROL
The fan cycle control is located at the discharge lines or at the compressor discharge service valve.
The non-adjustable fan cycles are set to close at 260 psi and open at 190 psi. The adjustable fan
cycle control must be set and adjusted per the factory settings as indicated in the system rack
drawings.
7. START-UP PROCEDURE
After the installation has been completed, before beginning start-up procedures the following
checks should be performed:
PAGE 22 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
7.1 CONDENSING UNITS
A. Check electrical connections to insure all connections are properly tightened. Verify
supplied voltage rating and phase meet system requirements as listed on the system ETL
label located on the control panel.
B. Check the motor-compressor oil level before start-up. The oil level should be at or
slightly above the center of the sight glass. To add oil, use only manufacturer
recommended oil as noted on each compressor tag.
C. Insure that the rubber grommets are installed under the motor-compressor mounting
nuts and that the motor compressor rides freely on its mounting vibration isolators.
D. Check the high and low pressure controls and all other safety controls. Adjust if
necessary.
E. Check the walk-in cooler and freezer thermostats for correct operation. Confirm
solenoids are opening and closing as required.
F. Tags are provided to indicate refrigerant used in the system.
G. The instruction manual, bulletins, tags, etc., are attached to the unit and should be
placed inside the electrical panel for future reference.
H. Observe system pressures during initial operation. Do not add oil while the system is
short of refrigerant unless the oil level is dangerously low.
I. Open all isolation valves, including all service valves at the compressors suction and
discharge and at the receivers. Check that all Rotalock nuts are tightened securely.
Tighten all valves to avoid leaks after start up.
WARNING: DO NOT OVERCHARGE WITH OIL.
7.2 EVAPORATOR COIL – BEFORE START UP
A. Make sure system is wired correctly. Verify voltage rating.
B. Check to make sure all electrical terminals are tight.
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 23 REV: 2-2014
C. Check fan set screws to confirm they are tight
D. Check unit to confirm it is mounted securely using all hangers and is as level as possible.
E. Make sure the drain connection is tightened to the drain line securely.
F. Pour water into the drain pan to check for complete drainage of the drain pan and drain
line.
7.3 EVAPORATOR COIL – AFTER START UP
A. On initial start-up for the freezer evaporator coil, the fans will not start until the coil
temperature reaches approximately 25°F.
B. Check the expansion valve superheat setting. It is important that the valve is set
properly for efficient operating and even frost formation.
C. Make sure the drain line heater is working properly.
D. Heavy moisture loads are usually encountered when starting a system for the first time.
This will cause a rapid frost build-up that will need to be closely watched. Manually
defrost the unit as required.
E. Observe the system as it goes through the first defrost cycle to make sure the timer,
defrost heaters, termination thermostat and other system components function
properly.
7.4 OPERATIONAL CHECK-OUT
Only after the system has operated for at least two hours at normal operating conditions without
any indications of malfunctions should it be allowed to operate overnight on automatic controls. A
thorough re-check of the entire system operation should be made as follows:
A. Check the motor-compressor head and suction pressure. If the pressures are not within
the system design limits, determine why and take corrective action.
B. Check the liquid line sight glass and expansion valve operation. If there are indications
that more refrigerant is required, leak test all connections and system components and
repair any leak before adding refrigerant.
PAGE 24 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
C. Observe the oil level in the motor-compressor crankcase sight glass and add oil as
necessary to bring the level to the center of the sight glass.
D. Thermostatic expansion valves must be checked for proper superheat settings. Feeler
bulbs must be positive thermal contact with the suction line. Valves with high superheat
settings produce little refrigeration and poor oil return. Too little superheat causes low
refrigeration capacity and promotes liquid slugging and compressor bearing washout.
Liquid refrigerant must be prevented from reaching the crankcase. If proper controls
cannot be achieved with the system in normal operation, a suction accumulator must be
installed in the suction line just ahead of the motor-compressor to prevent liquid
refrigerant from reaching the motor-compressor.
E. Using suitable instruments carefully check line voltage and amperage at the compressor
terminals. Voltage must be +/- 10% of that indicated on the compressor nameplate
rating. If amperage draw is excessive, immediately determine the cause and take
corrective action. On three phase motor-compressor units, check to see that a balanced
load is drawn by each phase.
F. Check the fan motor on air-cooled condensers and in walk-in evaporator coils for
correct rotation. Fan motor mounts should be carefully checked for tightness and
proper alignment.
G. High pressure controls on condensing unit using R-404 should be set to cut out at 350
PSIG. The cut-out point of these controls should be checked by stopping the condenser
fan and simultaneously monitoring the head pressures with an accurate gauge.
H. Re-check all safety controls and operating controls for proper operation and adjust if
necessary.
I. Check the defrost time clock for initiation, termination and length of defrost period. The
standard defrost timer furnished by Kairak provides frequency controls including a fail-
safe feature that automatically terminates defrost after a set period of time if the
termination thermostat fails to function properly. The standard timer is furnished with a
240 volt clock motor and has a contact rating of 40 amps at 240 volts. (See Figure 10
below)
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 25 REV: 2-2014
To set the number of defrost cycles every 24 hours, pull the pins out and set at the
desired cycle off times. Each pin represents a 15 minute interval. Pins pulled out away
from center of time clock represent refrigeration off and defrost on (See Figure 10,
shown in red). Pins pushed toward center indicate refrigeration on and defrost off.
Make sure time clock is set to correct time of day. Kairak recommends 4 times a day
defrost for a typical walk in freezer, 45 minutes each defrost period, set at 4:00 A.M.
and 10:00 A.M., 4:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. (See Figure 10).
To set the time of day, rotate the disc clockwise until the arrow lines up the correct time
of day. Note that the clock face is divided into 24 hours.
J. The time should initially be set for 4 defrost cycles per day. Each installation should be
checked so the system operates efficiently with a minimum number of defrost cycles.
The fail-safe works more efficiently with a minimum number of defrost cycles. The fail-
safe setting should not normally exceed 45 minutes because of danger of overheating
the unit if the defrost cycle is prolonged too long.

7.6 SHUT DOWN
A. Equipment which will not be required to operate for a period of time should be secured
by storing refrigerant charge in the receiver or condenser.
B. Front seal the receiver outlet valve. Set thermostat at a setting below system
temperature to insure that liquid line solenoid is energized. Defeat the low pressure
control and allow unit to pump down to a suction pressure of approximately 5 psig. It
may be necessary to repeat pump-down as some refrigerant will remain in oil and will
slowly boil off. When suction pressure holds at 5 psig, front seal suction service valve.
Lock disconnect in position.
C. On units with water-cooled condensers, special precautions must be taken to
completely drain the vessels to prevent freezing if ambient should be below 32°F.
D. Inspect system for possible worn or faulty components and repair if required.
7.7 SYSTEM RESTART AFTER SHUT DOWN
A. A thorough leak test should be performed.
B. Coil(s) should be checked for dirt accumulation or obstruction and cleaned if necessary.
C. Energize crankcase heaters and allow a minimum of 24 hours operation before a
compressor restart.
D. Install gauges, start system and check for correct refrigerant charge, proper system
operation and balance.
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 27 REV: 2-2014
8. MAINTENANCE
8.1 AIR-COOLED CONDENSER
The air-cooled condenser(s) should be cleaned with a brush and vacuum cleaner every four to six
months to remove all accumulations of dust, leaves and other debris. If your air-cooled condenser
must operate in unusually dusty locations, cleaning should be scheduled as often as conditions
dictate.
WARNING: BE SURE THAT THE MAIN DISCONNECT SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE
ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE OF THE CONDENSERS.
8.2 ELECTRICAL AND PIPING CONNECTIONS
All electrical connections should be periodically checked to be sure they are tight. Loose
connections contribute to low voltage conditions which can cause motor failure.
Refrigerant connections should be inspected to insure that they have not loosened. Whenever it is
necessary to add refrigerant, a careful leak check of all refrigerant connections should be made.
8.3 CRANKCASE LUBRICATION
As indicated under the operational check-out procedures, the oil level in the motor compressor
crankcase should be at the center of the sight glass as all times. If the oil level is low, more oil
should be added to bring the level up to the center of the sight glass. The expansion valve
adjustment and the size of the risers and traps should be checked to locate the cause of the oil
migration to correct it.
The quality of the compressor oil can be checked by using an oil sample. Visual examination for the
compressor oil can disclose the condition of the system. Acid test is highly recommended to
measure the extent of contamination in the system. Dirty, discolored oil indicates one of the
following:
A. Contaminations such as moisture, air, etc., trapped in the system.
B. Excessive pressure drop of improper control settings allows motor compressors to
operate at a dangerously low suction pressure. This may cause motor compressor
overheating and oil discoloration.
PAGE 28 KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM REV: 2-2014
If this situation occurs and oil discoloration is not too dark, the installation of a new liquid line
filter/drier may be enough to remove contamination and clear the oil. If the discoloration is severe,
the oil should be replaced and a new liquid filter/drier installed as many times as necessary to
eliminate the contamination. After the oil is replaced, the system controls should be readjusted.
8.4 MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST (at the rack)
A. Condenser – check to insure it is clean. Adjust cleaning schedule if necessary.
B. Compressor – Excessive noise: check mounting grommets, tighten if loose; check for
excessive ice buildup at the suction side and signs of liquid slogging back to it; make sure
compressor is not short cycling.
C. Pressure reading – high side and low side. Check cut in and cut out; adjust if necessary.
D. Sight glasses – check for flashing or bubbling. Add refrigerant to clear it.
E. Check for oil residue or stain around entire unit. Oil residue or stain should be an
indication of a refrigerant leak.
F. Condenser fan motor rotation – check for any sign of excessive vibration or loud noise.
G. Electrical components – check that all timers are properly set. Check all electrical
connections and contacts for signs of burns.
8.5 EVAPORATOR COIL
Evaporator coil should be checked at least once a month for proper defrosting to maintain amount
and pattern of frosting. It is dependent on the temperature of the room, the type of product being
stored, how often new product is brought into the room and the percentage of time the door to
the room is open. Also, if the coil is not defrosting completely, check for faulty defrost heaters.
Under normal usage, maintenance should cover the following items at least once every six months:
A. Tighten all electrical connections.
B. Tighten fan set screws.
C. Clean the coil surface.
KAIRAK REMOTE RACK SYSTEM PAGE 29 REV: 2-2014
D. Clean the fan blades.
E. Check the operation of the control system.
F. Clean the drain pan and check for proper drainage.
G. Check the drain line heaters.
8.6 HEATER REPLACEMENT IN LOW TEMP EVAPORATOR COIL
A. Make sure the electrical power to the heaters is turned off.
B. Disconnect heater leads on both ends of the heater to be removed.
C. Remove the sheet metal screws holding the heater retainer to the heater plate on the
electrical connection end of the unit.
D. Pull the heater(s) to be replaced out of the tube holes in the coil. It is necessary to lower
the drain pan to remove the bottom heater.
E. Replacement coil heaters are received coiled in a two foot diameter. Before inserting
the heater in the coil, uncoil about one foot of the straight end to make it easier to
insert the heater into the tube hole.
F. Insert end of the heater into tube hole and uncoil it while pushing it through the coil.
G. Attach tube clamp and retaining bracket to new heater just before rubber boot. Push
heater in until bracket meets the header plate. Fasten bracket to the header plate to
prevent heater “creep”.
H. Reconnect the heater leads as shown on the wiring diagram.

1. Sizes that are highlighted indicate maximum suction line sizes that should be used for risers. Riser size should not exceed horizontal size. Properly placed suction traps must also be used for adequate oil return. All sizes shown are for O.D. Type L copper tubing.
2. Suction line sizes selected at pressure drop equivalent to 2˚F. Reduce estimate of system capacity accordingly.
3. Recommended liquid line size may increase with reverse cycle hot gas systems. 4. If system load drops below 40% of design, consideration to installing double suction risers should be made.
