Line Sizing Requirements

CAUTION

Low temperature suction lines and all liq-uid lines must be insulated in all applica-tions where subcooling (NC) is used!This prevents line damage and possibleproduct damage caused by freezing.

NOTE

Liquid and suction line lengths over 300equivalent feet are discouraged byTYLER. Contact applications engineer-ing for recommendations on applicationsexceeding 300 equivalent feet! HORI-ZONTAL SUCTION LINES SHOULDSLOPE ½” PER 10’ TOWARD THE COM-PRESSOR TO AID IN GOOD OILRETURN!

step on the basis of the number of linear feetyou are at in that case line-up. The suction linesizes will change in a long case line-up.

Liquid Line Sizing

Most single case installations require 3/8” liquidlines. To determine liquid line sizing for multicase line-up, see “Liquid Line Sizing” in “BUFF”section of “TYLER Specification Guide”.

Suction Line Sizing

The “Case-to-Case Suction Line Sub-FeedBranch Line Sizing” chart on each spec sheetcan be used to size the sub-feed branchlines. When the branch line only serves onecase, use the line size listed under 50 equiva-lent feet for that case. (Example: servicemeat case uses 1/2” line; multi-shelf caseuses 1 3/8” line.) Select each succeeding

Use 50’ Column for Sub Feed Line Size

SPECIFICATIONSCAUTION

Exposure to directsunlight in over 80°Fambient tempera-tures can cause per-manent damage tothe vinyl materials. Ifexposure to directsunlight is anticipat-ed, loosely cover thecases with white canvas or plastic. Thisblocks direct sunlight and allows airmovement over vinyl parts. TYLER willnot be held responsible for damage dueto improper storage

Gas Defrost Liquid Lines

Gas defrost liquid lines to the cases shouldbe branched off the bottom of the header.This ensures a full column of liquid to theexpansion valve. A branch line from theheader to an individual case should be over3’ long and must have a 3” expansion loopincorporated.

Do not run suction or liquid lines throughcases that are part of a separate system,especially if either has gas defrost. If there isno way to avoid this, insulate the piping forthe portion that runs through the other cases.

Temperature variations of refrigeration anddefrost cycles cause piping to expand andcontract. Allowing for this expansion andcontraction will prevent piping failures. Thefollowing are typical expansion rates for cop-per tubing;

-100°F to -40°F = 2.5” per 100 foot run(ultra low temp)

-40°F to 0°F = 2” per 100 foot run (low temp)

0°F to 30°F = 1.5” per 100 foot run(medium temp)

30°F to 50°F = 1” per 100 foot run (high temp)

Expansion loops are designed to provide adefinite amount of travel. Placing the loop inthe middle of a piping run will allow for maxi-mum pipe expansion with the minimalamount of stress on the loop. Don’t use 45degree elbows for loop construction becausethey will not allow the lines to flex. Refer tothe charts on the next page for expansionloop lengths. Suction and liquid lines cannotbe joined together or be allowed to touch.Pipe hangers must not restrict the expansionand contraction of piping. Insulation on suc-tion and liquid lines makes the whole sys-tem more efficient! Insulate - it pays!

Header along cases - 7/8”

Line into cases are always 1/2”

Note: Tees point down

3’ Max. for gas defrost

Main liquid line must be 5/8” minimum (even with just 1 case)

Expansion Loop Sizing

Chart 1 is to be used for A, B, and C typeexpansion loops. Chart 2 gives the totallength of the expansion joint (L) along theouter surface.

Example: Given a 200’ run of 1 3/8” mediumtemp piping; there will be a linear expansion

of 3” to compensate for (medium temp 1.5”per 100’). Pipe diameter has no affect on theamount of linear expansion but is needed fordetermining the size of the expansion loop.Find the 3” column at the top of Chart 1 andgo down until it crosses the 1 3/8” row. TheX dimension is 24”, 48”, or 72” for A, B, or Ctype expansion loop respectively.

2. Check the “shipped loose” parts for anyitems; such as shelves, nuts and bolts,caulking, access doors, etc.

3. Check the equipment - remove the screwsused to hold down the deck pans duringshipping. Remove the pans and check thefollowing, if applicable:

4. Remove all packing material.

5. Check all flare nut connections for tightness.

6. Check all fan bracket bolts for tightness.

7. Check all electrical plug-in connections forpositive seal.

8. Make sure the expansion valve feeler bulb issecurely attached to the suction line.

9. All field wiring and plumbing MUST conformto national, state, and local codes.

10. Do not remove plugs (from flare nuts) orcaps (from threaded connections) until theunit is ready for final hook-up. All coils arepressurized and have a Schrader Valveaccess fitting. If pressure has been lost,check for leaks.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Carpentry Procedures

Case Line-Up

Before starting the case line-up, review thestore layout floorplans and survey the areaswhere case line-ups are going to be installed.

WARNING• These cases are very heavy and require

two or more people to move and/or posi-tion them.

• Do not walk on the tops of these cases.Tops of cases are not designed to sup-port the weight of a human being.

Improper handling of these cases couldresult in personal injury.

NOTE

Allow at least 3” of air space between theback of these cases and store walls or othercases to minimize possible condensationproblems. Forced ventilation might be nec-essary in some situations.

1. Snap chalk lines where the front and rearbase rails of the cases are to be located forthe entire line-up.

NOTE

Front and rear edges of base rails shouldalways be used to line-up cases. 6” shimsallow adjoining ends of cases to beshimmed together.

2. Locate highest point on chalk lines as a ref-erence for determining the number of shimsto be placed under the case base rails.Position first case at highest point on thechalk lines and shim case supports asrequired. Check leveling at hand rails, topof case, and back of case.

CAUTION

Shipping braces should only be removedfrom case ends that are to be joined. Thisprotects the cases from possible damageduring the line-up procedure.

NOTE

A foam gasket is factory installed on oneend of the case. This gasket fits into agroove on the adjoining case when casesare pulled together. Do not depend on thefoam gasket alone to make a good seal!

3. Apply two heavy beads of caulking com-pound from the Filler Kit to the end ofcase at dotted (. . .) and dashed (- - -)lines. Proper caulking provides goodcase refrigeration and sanitation.

4. On multi-shelf cases, remove bottom tray(1), front duct (2) and rear and/or top pull-up access covers (3).

On single deck cases, remove bottomtray (1), front duct (2) and rear pull-upaccess cover (3).

Plumbing Procedures

Recommended Drain Practices

CAUTION

A clogged waste outlet blocks refrigera-tion. This could result in inadequate casecooling and possible food spoilage.

The installer is responsible for the proper andcode approved installation of a system whichdispenses condensate waste water throughan air gap into the building’s indirect wastesystem.

Waste outlets and drip pipes from refrigera-tors are not intended for direct connection tothe building plumbing system. All remoterefrigerators equipped with automatic or offtime defrost systems are provided with awaste outlet. The outlet is located in the low-est level of the compartment to which wastewater will drain.

All TYLER display refrigerators are providedwith a water seal. It may be factory installedor shipped loose for field installation. Ifshipped loose, the installer must followTYLER’s installation procedure as outlinedwithin this manual.

The importance of proper drain connectionscannot be overemphasizes. Complicationsresulting from drainage problems can beavoided by following these good drainageguidelines.

2. The maximum length of waste pipeshould not exceed 12 feet.

3. Waste pipe is recommended. Never usesmall diameter copper tubing for wastepiping.

4. On low temp cases, the trap must beaway from the tee to prevent possiblefreezing of the trap.

5. Up to two case drains can utilize one floordrain. NOTE: Both case drains requireindividual water seals.

6. Never put two case drains with two trapson the same waste pipe. This can causean air trap on one of the case drains.1. The minimum slope of waste pipe should

be 1/4” per foot, or more if possible.

Refrigeration Procedures

Refrigeration System

CAUTION

• Protect Schrader valve core and capand the expansion valve feeler bulbfrom excessive heat by removing themwhen necessary. Replace properlybefore starting the system.

• Brazing and welding operations shouldbe kept away from both the metal drainpan and sealing materials in the drainarea. High temperature exposure inthese areas may cause damage to sealsand/or painted surfaces of the drainpans.

The type of refrigerant used in the case willbe specified on the unit nameplate. ASchrader valve is provided at the left of eachcoil for system testing and charging.

The suction and liquid lines to the evaporatorcoils are capped off. This holds the dry nitro-gen charge inside the evaporator coils.When cutting off the caps, use a tubing cutterto prevent the introduction of copper shav-ings to the system. See the model specifica-tion sheet in the case specific I&S manual forproper line entry and positioning specifica-tions.

Only use clean, dry, sealed refrigerationgrade copper tubing. Make copper to copperjoints with phos-copper alloy (5% silver) orequal. Make dissimilar metal joints with sol-der having 35% silver. To prevent internalcontamination of the line, limit the use of sol-dering paste or flux to the minimum required.Flux only the male portion of the connection.

Piping should be purged with dry nitrogen orcarbon dioxide during brazing. This preventsthe formation of copper dioxide and scaleduring brazing. Copper dioxide and/or scalecan easily clog the small ports in systemvalves and pilot valve.

NOTE

The tubing design pressure is 183 psig forthe lowside and 390 psig for the highside.Do not exceed these pressures.

Line Entry

Refrigeration lines entry may only require asingle entry for an entire line-up of cases. Itcould enter the line-up at one end or branchboth ways from the center. Refrigeration linesmay be run from case to case in areas desig-nated for them. Notches are provided in bothends for this purpose.

Line sizing should meet the suction and liquidsizing requirements for that case location inthe line-up. See “Line Sizing” section in thismanual. If the cases are connected to a par-allel system, the line size will be specified onthe system printout.

CAUTION

Do not run tubing through these cases toanother machine if the cases are con-trolled by a pressure control. Pressuresensed from the coldest location couldaffect the pressure control in a secondsystem. This is called cross-controllingand should be avoided.

A pressure drop in the suction line means aloss in system capacity. It forces the com-pressor to operate at a lower suction to main-tain the desired temperature in the evaporatorcoil. Pressure drops reduce compressorcapacity and increase system compressionratios causing higher operating costs. Tominimize pressure drop, keep the refrigera-tion line run as short as possible and thenumber of fittings to a minimum.

All suction lines should be insulated to mini-mize heat absorption and condensation drip-page. Seal refrigeration lines where theyenter the case. Sealing is necessary to pre-vent condensation, air leaks and other prob-lems. Be sure it is done before leaving thejob.

4. Parallel compressor system, or otherapplications needing a more accuratetemperature control. An evaporator pres-sure regulator (EPR) valve is installedbetween the case and the compressor.The EPR valve is set to control the casesuction pressure which corresponds tothe desired case temperature. The EPRvalve will hold a relative constant pressureat the case and will not allow it to gobelow a set pressure.

*See model specification sheet in the casespecific I&S manual for specific controlsettings for each case.

Setting the SuperheatUse the instructions, illustration, and chartbelow to determine the superheat.

NOTE: This illustration shows the generallocation of piping and components in acase with two expansion valves.

1. Make sure all connections to the expan-sion valve(s) are tight.

2. If a case has more than one expansionvalve, starve the flow to the front coil’sexpansion valve by turning in the adjust-ing screw 1 ½ turns.

NOTE

It is very important to have a good sealaround the refrigeration lines. This willprevent any water leakage into the bottomof the case. During the installationprocess do not disturb the factory sealbetween the drain and case ends. Thisseal must remain water tight. The accessopening should be insulated along with allrefrigeration lines exiting the case to pre-vent condensation buildup on cold sur-faces.

Control OptionsThe temperature of case line-ups can be con-trolled by one of the following methods:*

1. Indoor single compressor system notusing a liquid pump down before defrost.The low pressure control on the compres-sor system can be set to cycle the com-pressor on and off at specific pressuresthat correspond to the desired tempera-ture range at the case.

2. Indoor single compressor system needinga more accurate temperature control. Athermostat can be mounted with its sens-ing bulb in the discharge air stream onthe case. The thermostat is used to cyclethe compressor on and off at specific tem-perature to maintain the desired casetemperature range.

3. Outdoor single compressor system usinga liquid pump down cycle before defrost,or other applications that need a moreaccurate temperature control. A thermo-stat can be mounted with its sensing bulbin the discharge air stream on the case.The thermostat is used to cycle a mainliquid line solenoid valve on and off atspecific temperatures to maintain thedesired case temperature range. The liq-uid line solenoid valve used for tempera-ture control should be mounted as closeto the case as possible to minimize thetemperature swing that may occur afterthe valve closes.

NOTE: Rear coil expansion valve shouldalways be adjusted first.

3. Install pressure gage on the coil output.Most TYLER cases have a Schrader fittingfor this purpose. Record the pressurereading.

4. Using the table on the following page,convert this pressure to a temperature.

5. Take a temperature reading from the suc-tion line adjacent to the expansion valvebulb being tested.

6. Subtract the temperature conversion (step4) from the suction line temperature (step5). This is the superheat of the evapora-tor.

7. If case has more than one expansionvalve, reset front coil expansion valve byrepeating steps 2 thru 5.

SPORLAN VALVES:

The number of adjustment turns availablebetween stops on the Sporlan valves is 9 to10 turns (in or out).

• With R-22 refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 5.5 or 3°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

• With R404A refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 4.5 or 2.5°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

• With R-502 refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 5 or 2.5°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

• With R-507 refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 4.5 or 2.5°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

ALCO VALVES:

The number of adjustment turns availablebetween stops on the Alco valves is 10 to 12turns (in or out).

• With R-22 refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 4.5 or 2°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

• With R404A refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 3.5 or 1.5°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

• With R-502 refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 3.5 or 1.5°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

• With R-507 refrigerant, 1 turn will result inapproximately a 3.5 or 1.5°F superheatchange for low or medium temperatureapplications respectively.

Balanced Port Expansion Valves used inTYLER cases are preset by an air pressurebench test. Some final adjustment may benecessary due to system designs, pressuredrops, and coil loading. Adjustments shouldbe made with liquid pressures near design,and after the case has been loaded andpulled down to normal temperature require-ments. Final adjustments are used to maxi-mize case temperature and efficiency.

There is no magic superheat number. Propersettings can actually occur from as low as 4or 5°F up to extremes of 17 or 18°F of super-heat. Most settings will fall in the 6 to 12°Frange. A proper method is to find a settingwithin the ranges previously mentioned thatprovides the most stable bulb temperature.Sometimes there will be a flat reading with vir-tually no variation. This usually provides thelowest discharge air temperature reading.

Proper expansion valve settings cannot bemade in a few minutes. Only turns of ¼ to ½should be made at one time. Wait 15 min-utes to allow the system to settle out. Pleaserefer to comments below regarding the differ-ences in adjustment between Sporlan andAlco expansion valves.

CAUTION

Forcing the adjustment beyond the stopswill result in damage to the valve.

NOTEAll of the following changes are approxi-mate and should only be used as a guide-line!

Defrost Information

NOTE

See Case Specific I&S manual for individualdefrost settings and klixon locations.

Off Time Defrost

All cases that use a refrigerated coil that oper-ates below the freezing point of water will col-lect frost during the refrigeration cycle. Toomuch frost build-up on the cooling coil stopsthe effective air flow and refrigeration. An offtime control stops the refrigerant and allowsthe case to defrost at the proper time andduration each day.

The refrigeration is stopped with a time clock(mechanical or electronic) by either turning offthe compressor directly, or closing a liquid linesolenoid or suction isolation valve (ex. suctionline solenoid or suction stop EPR valve). Thetime clock is set for the proper number ofdefrosts per day and the proper duration per

defrost based on the information providedunder “Specifications” in the case specificmanual. The time clock may be an individualclock on single compressor system; a multi-circuit clock on parallel compressor system;or an electronic clock on either compressorsystem.

Optional Electric Defrost Details

When an electric defrost is initiated, power issupplied to the defrost heater. The defrostheater is located in front of the coil. Thedefrost heater will be turned off or de-ener-gized when the defrost limit klixon clipped tothe right end of the coil, opens at its specifiedtemperature.

Balanced 3-Phase Defrost Wiring

The largest number from any of the followingwill be the highest load on any single phase.This is called the high leg amps. In the fol-lowing example a TG-3-30 defrost module isrequired.

L2 = All loads on leg 2 x 1.732

L3 = All loads on leg 3 x 1.732

activate and deactivate the drain pan heateras needed during the defrost cycle.

Optional Air Defrost Details

Most TYLER multi-shelf meat and deli mer-chandisers can be equipped with air defrost.Air defrost effectively defrosts with compara-ble product quality to electric or gas defrost,but costs less. The reversible permanent splitcapacitor (PSC) fan motors which make airdefrost possible, cuts the cost of fan opera-tion considerably. The motor design and thecapacitor required for reversal makes themotor much more efficient.

When an air defrost is initiated, fan operationis reversed. This causes the fans to circulatestore air in place of refrigerated air supply. Aklixon (42°/32°) is located on the right end ofthe coil. When all cases on that circuit havereached 42°F, the defrost will be terminatedand the fans will switch back.

The purpose of the following arrangementsis to stop the flow of refrigerant throughthe display so that it may defrost:

Single Condensing Unit

Liquid flow may be interrupted by a normallyclosed liquid line solenoid valve (installed atthe compressor or case) controlled by a ther-mostat and wired to the time clock. The timeclock would cause the solenoid to close, thiswould in turn shut off the flow of liquid refrig-erant to the system(s). The compressor

EXAMPLE:

L1 = 13.8 + 8.6 + 8.6 x 1.73 = 26.8 amps2

L2 = 13.8 + 18.8 x 1.73 = 23.9 amps 2

L3 = 13.8 + 8.6 + 8.6 x 1.73 = 26.8 amps 2

In this case the high leg amps equals 26.8.

Optional Gas Defrost Details

When a gas defrost is initiated, the evaporatoracts as a heat exchanger for incoming liquidduring the refrigeration cycle and as a drainpan heater during gas defrosting. A defrosttermination klixon is located at the bypasscheck valve. When the defrost terminationklixon senses the appropriate temperature, itshuts off the flow of hot gas. Most cases usea 55° or 60°F defrost termination klixon thatwill represent 70°F due to time lag. Use 70°Ftermination setting for electronic temperaturesensors. On L6DA deli cases, meat casesand glass door cases , the fans are deacti-vated during gas defrost by a fan delay klixonlocated on the right end of the coil. Fan oper-ation will restart when the klixon senses theappropriate temperature. On glass doorcases, there is an additional klixon used to

would continue to run and pump down thesystem(s). The condensing unit would soonshut off on low pressure. The time clock mayalso be wired directly to the compressor con-tactor.

Parallel Compressor Unit

For cases operated from a parallel compres-sor rack, an evaporator pressure regulator(EPR) valve may be factory installed on thesuction stub of the parallel compressor rack.The EPR valve will work in conjunction withthe defrost circuit(s). This is temperature reg-ulation (by pressure) of the entire lineup. Asolenoid may be used in conjunction with theEPR valve to stop refrigerant flow duringdefrost.

Installation Procedure Check Lists

Rigid vinyl surfaces (bumpers, handrails,raceways & kickplates) should be cleanedwith a soft cloth and warm soapy water, orwith non-abrasive cleaners like Fantastik orPro Formula 409 with a mildly abrasivesponge. Both of these cleaners will do anexcellent job in most instances. Clean diffi-cult spots with Comet cleanser with chlorinaland a plastic scrubber or abrasive sponge.Manufacturers directions should be followedcarefully.

CAUTION

Do not use Comet on corner or vacuumformed trim. Discoloration could occur.

Nylon corner trim for island cases and vacu-um formed trim for wedge cases should becleaned only with Fantastik or Pro Formula409.

Cleaned surfaces treated with Armour All orPledge furniture polish will help keep surfaceslooking good and make them easier to clean.

WARNING

Do not use hot water on cold glass sur-faces. This can cause the glass to shatterand could result in personal injury. Allowglass fronts, ends and service doors towarm before applying hot water.

Exterior and interior glass surfaces, brushedaluminum and chrome should be cleanedwith a lint-free cloth and warm water or glasscleaner.

Remove normal accumulation of dirt anddebri daily to maintain efficient refrigeration.Interior surfaces require different cleaningintervals. Meat and produce cases should becleaned at least once a week; dairy casesevery two to four weeks; and frozen foodcases every two to six months. Interior sur-faces may be cleaned with most domesticdetergents and sanitizing solutions with noharm to the surfaces.

Honeycombs or grids in the air ducts shouldbe checked and cleaned whenever the caseinterior is cleaned. To clean a honeycomb orgrid, remove the screws, retainer and honey-

CLEANING AND SANITATION

General Cleaning InformationEquipment life and performance are directlyrelated to good cleaning and sanitation prac-tices. Recommended cleaning intervals willvary depending on the case’s useage.Cleaning cases and case parts regularly willkeep high sanitation levels, increase case life,and minimize maintenance costs.

Most TYLER cases provide the following casecleaning features to support good cleaningand sanitation practices.

• Removable front ducts and lower trays

• Fully accessible 1 1/2” or 2” waste outletson most cases

• Hinged or easily removable fan panelsprovide access to lower coil and drain pan.

• Seamless, smooth drain pan is water-proofand contoured for easy cleaning and rapiddrainage.

Since cases are made up of different types ofmaterials, the care requirements change withthe material type and style.

CAUTION

• Never use abrasive scouring pads orcleansers on exterior or interior sur-faces. The abrasive materials couldscratch the surfaces.

• Do not use any ammonia based clean-ing products on any cases with elec-tronic and solid state components. Theammonia will permanently damagethese components.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Proper Case Usage

Display Practices

Do not let a flair for spectacular exceed therefrigerating capacity of the cases. Moundsof product over the load lines or large sig-nage cards interfere with case air flow.

Displays of products in multi-shelf casesrequire rotation to prevent frost accumulation.Jumble displays of cans should be avoided.Uneven display surfaces cause extra air tur-bulence that make heavier frost deposits onthe coils.

Stocking & Maintenance Practices forMulti-Shelf Low Temperature Cases

A large volume of air is constantly in motionin all makes of multi-shelf low temperaturecases. When the case is defrosted, air tem-perature rises for the short time it takes thecase to defrost. The relatively warm air caus-es frost to be deposited on the cold products.Most frost is removed naturally, shortly afterthe defrost cycle ends. However, some frostmay remain on the products stored in theback of the case. Product rotation is themoving of product from the rear to the frontand adding new stock to the rear. This pre-vents frost from accumulation on productsstored in the rear of the case.

NOTE

Frozen foods are perishable and cannot beleft on display indefinitely.

Clean multi-shelf cases regularly.Removing loose bits of wrappers or otherdebris daily, prevents the need for shuttingdown the case for major cleaning. Keepingdrain clogging litter out of the case is veryimportant in preventing refrigeration failure orsub-par performance.

Shelf Light Sockets

Shelf light plug sockets allow for shelf posi-tioning. Vertically adjustable shelf light sock-ets move up or down to clear back edge ofshelf for electrical connection.

CAUTION

Make sure the shelf light plugs or recepta-cle covers are completely inserted into thelight socket receptacles. This preventselectrical arcing and/or possible equip-ment damage .

Shelving Loads

Case shelves aredesigned to holdapproximately 40lbs per sq. ft.NOTE: Slots inthe shelf bracketsengage in theback of theshelves when the brackets are in a downposition. This provides additional shelf sup-port.
