5. Remove screws from compressor mounting plate.

6. Remove or disconnect crankcase heater from compressor

base.

7. Remove compressor from unit.

8. On 38AQS016 unit remove compressor holddown bolts

and lift compressor off mounting plate.

9. Clean system. Add new liquid line filter drier.

10. Install new compressor on compressor mounting plate

and position in unit. Connect vapor and discharge lines to

compressor. Secure mounting plate with compressor to

unit. Ensure that compressor holddown bolts are in place.

Connect wiring. Install crankcase heater.

11. Evacuate and recharge unit.

12. Restore unit power.

38ARQ008, 012 Cooling Mode Operation

(See Fig. 20)

1. High pressure, high temperature refrigerant vapor from

the compressor flows through the reversing valve and is

directed to the vapor headers of both outdoor coils.

2. At the outdoor coil vapor header, the high pressure, high

temperature refrigerant vapor flows up to check valve

“A” that blocks the flow. All the refrigerant is then

directed to flow into the coil circuits.

3. Subcooled refrigerant liquid leaves the coil circuits

through the side outlet on the liquid headers. The liquid

refrigerant from each coil flows through check valves

“B” which are open, enters the liquid line and goes to the

indoor coil.

4. The liquid refrigerant is expanded and evaporated in the

indoor coil resulting in low pressure vapor. This low

pressure vapor returns to the outdoor unit through the

system vapor line, reversing valve, and accumulator,

reentering the compressor at the suction connection.

38ARQ008, 012 Heating Mode Operation

(See Fig. 21)

1. High pressure, high temperature refrigerant vapor from

the compressor flows through the reversing valve and

is directed through the system vapor line to the indoor

coil. Refrigerant is condensed and subcooled in the

indoor coil and returns to the outdoor unit through the

system liquid line.

2. Check valve “B” blocks the flow of liquid and the liquid

refrigerant must flow through the filter driers, through

check valve “C”, and into the liquid header assembly.

3. The liquid refrigerant is expanded as it passes through the

fixed orifice metering devices into outdoor coil circuits.

The refrigerant evaporates as it passes through the coil

circuits resulting in low pressure vapor.

4. The low pressure vapor leaves the coil circuits and enters

the vapor headers, check valves “A” are open, and returns

to the compressor through the vapor line, reversing valve,

and accumulator, reentering the compressor at the suction

connection.

Excessive movement of copper lines at compressor may

cause higher levels of vibration when unit is restored to

service.
