APPLICATION AND SIZING In the application and sizing of room air conditioners for cooling, it is most important to give full consideration to all factors which may contribute to the heat loss or gain of the space to be conditioned. It is therefore necessary to make a survey of the space to be conditioned and calculate the load requirements before a selection of the size of the equipment needed can be made. The load requirement may be determined very easily by simply using the standard “AHAM” Loa

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING COOLING LOAD ESTIMATE FORM FOR ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS (AHAM PUB. NO. RAC-1) A. This cooling load estimate form is suitable for estimating the cooling load for comfort air conditioning installations which do not require specific conditions of inside temperature and humidity. B. The form is based on an outside design temperature of 95°F dry bulb and 75°F wet bulb. It can be used for areas in the continental United States having other outside design temperatures by applying a

For dual rated, apply an ohmmeter lead to com- mon (C) terminal and the other probe to the com- pressor (HERM) terminal. A satisfactory capacitor will cause a deflection on the pointer, then gradu- ally move back to infinity. 4. Reverse the leads of the probe and momentarily touch the capacitor terminals.

ROTARY COMPRESSOR SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compres- sors is the same as on the reciprocating compressor with only a few exceptions. 1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the mounts are critical. If vibration is present, check the mounts carefully. 2. The electrical terminals on the rotary are in a dif- ferent order than the reciprocating compressors. The terminal markings are on the cover gasket. Use your wiring diagram to ins
