3.2.4 Provide machine protection 
Protect machine from construction dirt and moisture. Keep protective shipping covers in place until machine is 
ready for installation. Do not keep the 19DV units outside where they are exposed to the weather. 
If machine is exposed to freezing temperatures after water circuits have been installed, open waterbox drains and 
remove all water from cooler and condenser. Leave drains open until system is filled. 
 
It  is  important  to  properly  plan  before  installing  a  19DV  unit  to  ensure  that  the  environmental  and  operating 
conditions are satisfactory and the machine is protected. The installation must comply with all requirements in this 
document and in the certified prints. 
 
3.2.5 Operating Environment  
Chiller should be installed in an indoor environment where the ambient temperature is between 5 and 40°C with a 
relative humidity of 95% or less, non-condensing. To ensure that electrical components operate properly, do not 
locate the chiller in an area exposed to dust, dirt, corrosive fumes, or excessive heat and humidity. 
3.3 Step 2 – Rig the machine 
The  19DV  machine  can  be  rigged  as  an  entire  assembly.  It  also  has  connections  that  allow  the  compressor, 
evaporator, condenser, VFD, an major accessories be separated for plant introduction under the supervision of 
Carrier. Contact local Carrier office for details if separation is required. 
3.3.1 - Rigging the complete machine 
See  rigging  instructions  on  label  attached  to  machine.  Lift  machine  only  from  the  points  indicated  in  the 
instructions  supplied  and  in  the  machine  rigging  drawings.  Each  lifting  cable  or  chain  must  be  capable  of 
supporting the entire weight of the machine. 
WARNING: Lifting machine from points other than those specified may result in serious damage to the unit and 
personal  injury.  Rigging  equipment  and  procedures  must  be  adequate  for  machine  weight.  See  table  2  for  the 
machine weights. 
 
If  the  unit  is  disassembled  for  slinging,  the  weight  of  each  element  of  the  machine  must  be  known:  motor, 
compressor, heat exchangers with and without refrigerant charge, electrical equipment, special water boxes, etc. 
This information is available on the dimensional drawing supplied with the machine. 
 
IMPORTANT: Only a qualified service technician should perform this operation. 
WARNING: Do not attempt to disconnect flanges while the machine is under pressure. Failure to relieve pressure 
can result in personal injury or damage to the unit. 
CAUTION: Before rigging the compressor, disconnect all wires entering the control box. 
 
IMPORTANT: Verify with company performing the rigging that they have access to required spreader beam for 4 
point lift. Carrier is not responsible for rigging damage. 
CAUTION: Factory-supplied insulation is not flammable but can be damaged by welding sparks and open flame. 
Protect insulation with a wet canvas cover. 
Each lifting cable or chain must be capable of supporting the entire weight of the machine. 
Contractors are not authorized to disassemble any part of the  chiller  without  Carrier’s  supervision.  Any  request 
otherwise  must  be  approved  in  writing  by  the  Carrier  Technical  Service  Manager.  Non-conformance  to  this 
requirement may result in loss of product warranty. 
NOTE:  Carrier  suggests  that  a  structural  engineer  be  consulted  if  transmission  of  vibrations  from  mechanical 
equipment is of concern and is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. 
Lifting chiller or components from points other than those specified may result in serious damage to the machine 
or personal injury. Rigging equipment and procedures must be adequate for maximum chiller weight.
