Carlyle 06CC Installation Instructions

2
Only qualified, authorized, and appropriately trained HVAC or re-
frigeration personnel should install, commission, and maintain this
equipment.
Use appropriate personal safety equipment where required. Safety
goggles, gloves, protective clothing, safety boots, and hardhats
should be worn where necessary.
OPERATING LIMITS
Operating envelopes of the compressor models will differ with
each model and refrigerant. These operating envelopes are
provided in the CARWIN rating program. See the Variable Speed
Supplemental Instructions (574-087) on the Carlyle website for
details.
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Holding Charge
The 06CC compressor is factory-supplied with a 5 to 15 psig (1.4
to 2 bar) charge of dry air. This internal pressure must be relieved
before attempting to remove any compressor fitting or part.
Relieve holding charge by removing the cap on the low pressure
connection fitting and depressing the internal disc. See Fig. 1 for
applicable low pressure connection fitting location.
System Cleanliness and Dehydration
Clean and dry systems are essential for long compressor and mo-
tor life and satisfactory operation. Compressor lubricants require
special attention; excessive moisture, when combined with heat
and refrigerant, can form damaging acids. The recommended limit
for moisture is less than 50 ppm for compressors lubricated with
mineral oil (MO) or alkylbenzene (AB) lubricants and 100 ppm
for POE lubricants.
Use only piping which is clean and dry inside, free from rust and
process oils.
Suction Screen
All 06CC compressors are equipped with a suction strainer
located on the compressor side of the suction service valve. Verify
that the suction screen is installed. A second screen is factory-
installed in the midstage piping at the motor end to protect the mo-
tor and second stage cylinders. Do not operate the compressor
without both strainers installed.
Service Valves
Remove valve pads and attach factory-supplied suction and dis-
charge gaskets and service valves to the compressor. Torque appli-
cable service valve mounting bolts as noted in Table 6 on page 8.
When brazing piping to valve, disassemble valve or wrap in a wet
cloth to prevent heat damage.
Approved Refrigerants
The 06CC compressor is approved for the following refrigerants;
R-22, R-134a, R-404A, R-407A, R-407C, R-407F, R-448A,
R-449A, R-507A, and R-513A.
Oil
1. Check to see that oil level is 1/8 to 3/8 of the way up on com-
pressor sightglass (see Table 2) before starting and after
15 to 20 minutes of operation. Compressors may be shipped
with or without an oil charge based on model. All compres-
sors must contain the specified oil charge prior to start up as a
condition of warranty.
2. To add oil:
Isolate crankcase and reclaim internal pressure, and add oil
through the oil fill connection (see Fig. 1).
To remove excess oil:
Reduce internal crankcase pressure to 2 psig (1.15 bar), iso-
late crankcase then loosen the oil drain plug allowing oil to
seep out past the threads of the plug.
3. When additional oil or a complete oil change is required, use
only the listed Carlyle approved oils as shown in Table 3.

CAUTION
Oil levels on 06CC 50-99 cfm compressors should not be al-
lowed to go above 3/8 of sightglass. High oil levels require ex-
cess power and shorten compressor life. See Table 2.
CAUTION
Do not charge oil through the suction line or through the com-
pressor suction access fittings. See Fig. 1 for the recommended
oil charging port. Adding oil into the suction side of the
compressor can cause damage to the suction/discharge valves,
pistons, and/or connecting rods.
CAUTION
With the compressor crankcase under slight pressure, do not
remove the oil drain plug as the entire oil charge could be lost.
Do not reuse drained oil or oil that has been exposed to the at-
mosphere.
