Hydraulic Manifold Adjustment

Manifold Adjustment
Notes:

Gauge kit, Sigma part number 831-C031, is necessary to set the manifold. Included in the kit
are gauge assembly 831-C032 and #8 hose fittings 831-C035 male, and 831-C036 female.

All bold letters given below are inscribed on the manifold.


“G”, “B”, and “A” are all connection points on the manifold.

TPW5
Manifold Adjustment

“RV” indicates the pressure relief


valve on the manifold. “RV” is used
as a safety and can be adjusted to
set the maximum operating pressure
for the manifold. When pressure
exceeds the maximum operating
pressure then the oil is routed back
to the tank without going through the
rest of the system.

Relief Valve (RV)

TPW5
Manifold Adjustment

“PR” indicates the pressure


reducing valve on the
manifold. “PR” is used to
reduce the system pressure
beyond the valve resulting in
less pressure being delivered
to the compressor.

Pressure reducing Valve

TPW5
Manifold Adjustment

“FC” indicates flow control on the


manifold. “FC” is used to adjust the
flow of oil to the compressor.
Adjusting “FC” will increase or
decrease the compressor RPM.

Manifold Adjustment

Setup
Gauge Port
With the hydraulic supply on
verify that the pressure is
close to 2000 PSI and the
flow of oil is close to 7
gallons per minute.
Turn the hydraulic supply off.
Connect the gauge to “G”
and tighten to prevent leaks.
Loosen locking nuts on “RV”
and “PR”.

TPW5
Manifold Adjustment

Setting the relief valve

Bring “RV” and “FC” all the way in


(clockwise, but do not over tighten).
Turn the hydraulic supply on.
Bring “RV” out (counter clockwise)
until a squealing noise is heard then
turn counter clockwise 3/8 turns
(same thing as 145 degrees). The
squealing noise should not be heard
now.
Tighten the “RV” locking nut. 2300
PSI has now been set at the
maximum operating pressure.

TPW5
Manifold Adjustment
Setting the pressure reducing valve
Turn the hydraulic supply off.
Hose “B” will need to be removed from the
manifold inlet. The recommended method
for this is to first remove hose “A” at the
manifold to gain access then to remove
hose “B” at the manifold. Note that there
will still be some oil left in the hoses and it
is recommended to have towels and a drain
bucket to prevent making a mess.
Cap both hose “B” and the manifold inlet
“B” using #8 hose fittings and tighten to
prevent leaks.
Re-connect hose “A” and tighten to prevent
leaks. It is recommended to apply Loctite
242 to the hose fitting threads before re-
connecting to prevent the hose from
loosening over time.

TPW5 Hose “B”


Manifold Adjustment “PR”
Setting the pressure reducing valve
Bring “FC” out (counter clockwise) 2 or 3
turns.
Turn on both the hydraulic supply and air
conditioning unit. It is strongly
recommended to increase the pressure
slowly and to check for leaks before
proceeding.
Write down the pressure going to the unit.
Also, notice the pressure reading at the “G”
port gauge. Bring “PR” in or out as
necessary to get the “G” gauge to read 50
PSI less than the pressure going to the unit.
Do not allow the “G” port gauge to read the
same as the pressure going to the unit! It
must read slightly less.
Tighten the “PR” locking nut. Approximately
2000 PSI has now been set as the maximum
pressure that the compressor will see.

TPW5
Manifold Adjustment
Setting the flow control
Turn both the hydraulic supply and air
conditioning unit off.
Re-connect hose inlet “B” to the hydraulic
motor and tighten to prevent leaks. It is
recommended to apply Loctite 242 to the
hose fitting threads before re-connecting to
prevent the hose from loosening over time.
Turn on both the hydraulic supply and air
conditioning unit. It is strongly
recommended to increase the pressure
slowly and to check for leaks before
proceeding.
Find the current compressor RPM using a
stroboscope.
Bring “FC” in or out as necessary to get the
compressor to 2000 RPM.
The manifold is now completely adjusted.

LED INDICATORS

SET -The set point temperature is currently being displayed on the three digit LED readout.
ACTUAL - The actual temperature is currently being displayed on the three digit LED readout.
LOW - The fan is running at low speed.
MED - The fan is running at medium speed.
HIGH - The fan is running at high speed.

The three digit LED display indicates a two digit temperature and C or F.

OPERATION - The control parameters and set points are stored in EEPROM on the control board and are
sent to the unit on startup or when the operator makes a change to one of the settings. The control
communicates using RS485 on the five wire harness that connects it to the unit. The control remembers
the last settings and will restart at those settings when power is reapplied or the system is turned on.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Inadequate Air Flow

Check supply voltage to unit


Check supply voltage to evaporator blower motor
Check evaporator motor brushes
Check dip switch, 1 and 2 should be in the off positions
Clean filters
Check blower motor rotation
Check condenser fan rotation
Check grounding

TPW5
Troubleshooting
Inadequate Cooling

Check compressor is cycling on and off

If cycling on high pressure check condenser fans, motors, check for over charge and dirty coils, check for over
charge by measuring temperature of liquid out of condenser, it should be 10°F to 15°F cooler than the
condensing temperature.

Check refrigerant charge, sight glass should be full

Check compressor speed, should be 2000 rpm

Check Hydraulic flow, should be 7.5 gpm @ 2000 psi

Check head pressure


If ambient is 70°F head pressure should be 125-175 psi.
If ambient is 80°F head pressure should be 140-180 psi
If ambient is 90°F head pressure should be 150-220 psi
If ambient is 100°F head pressure should be 180-250 psi
If ambient is 110°F head pressure should be 200-270 psi
If ambient is 120°F head pressure should be 220-300 psi

Check airflow

Check low pressure cycling. If not enough refrigerant is passing thru the system, there could be blockage.

If TX-valve is blocked head pressures will be very high and suction pressure very low.

TPW5
Troubleshooting
Inadequate Heating

Check that the solenoid valve is opening and closing properly


(This can be done by feeling both sides of the lines coming in to the valve)

Purge heater core to remove air

Check for consistent temperature across the coil. If they are not equal,
there may be a blockage.

Preventive Maintenance

TPW5
Preventive Maintenance
Bi-Weekly
Check unit lids to ensure latches are properly closed.
Discard lower filter, stage one of return air filter assembly and replace.

Monthly
All bi-weekly checks
Flush out drains
Check seals
Flush out condenser area and coil
Check all heating, refrigeration and hydraulic connections, inside and outside the unit.

Annually
Total unit clean out
Check all motors, repair or replace
Flush out evaporator and condenser coils
Check cover seals, replace if necessary
Check fan blades for damage, replace if necessary

TPW5
Preventive Maintenance

Cleaning The High Efficiency Filter


The high efficient filters are washable. They can be Cleaned by using a low-pressure water
hose and a soft brush. As much dust as possible should be knocked out of the filter while
the filter is still dry. Water can then be applied using a Low pressure water hose ( use of a
high pressure hose will damage the filter media. Apply the water while lightly scrubbing
the filter media. This should remove any particles that have impregnated the media. This
should be followed by a final rinse of water. The filter should be allowed to dry
completely before returning it to the unit.
