1) GENERAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The coach shall be equipped with a Carrier RM Series rear mount air conditioning system with Carrier Model 05G Twin Port compressor and clutch assembly. The Carrier RM Series fan/coil unit shall contain evaporator, heater, and condenser coils; fan/blower assemblies; and all associated controls. The fan/coil unit shall mount in the rear of the coach above the engine. The compressor shall be mounted in the engine compartment and be directly driven by a belt from the engine crankshaft or transmission PTO shaft. The HVAC system shall incorporate HFC-134a, a nonflammable, non-toxic hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant that does not cause stratospheric ozone depletion. No other refrigerant shall be used. 2) CONTROLS The temperature controller shall be a Carrier Micromax microprocessor-based controller with the Micromate Control Panel (MCP) which includes a user-friendly tactile-feedback keypad and high-visibility display. The Micromax controller shall control evaporator fan speed, the compressor unloaders, and the reheat solenoid valve so as to maintain the desired interior temperature. The controller shall provide the function of self-diagnostics to continually verify a proper system operation. The temperature set point shall be adjusted by pushing the button on the MCP located on the control panel or drivers in-dash panel. The set point temperature range shall be from 60F to 80F. The keypad shall include the following functional button for the selection of proper system operation and troubleshooting: AUTO, COOL, VENT, HEAT, HIGH/LOW SPEED, INSIDE TEMP/OUTSIDE TEMP. The controller shall be covered by a housing to prevent contamination from dirt and other foreign matter. All components on the control panel shall be clearly labeled to aid troubleshooting. All relays and electrical connectors shall be polarized to prevent improper installation. Safety controls shall be incorporated to protect the system in the event of high and low refrigerant pressures. Thermal circuit breakers shall be incorporated to protect wiring in the event of overload. The sizing and placement of all safety devices shall be the sole responsibility of the air conditioning manufacturer. A three-stage head pressure control system shall be incorporated. This system shall control discharge pressure when the unit is being run in high loading conditions (i.e. high ambient). The first stage of control shall force the condenser fans to run on high speed to obtain maximum airflow and lower discharge pressure. The second stage shall unload one bank, (two cylinders) of the compressor to lower discharge pressure. A third stage shall disengage and lockout the compressor clutch until the system is manually reset by the driver or serviceman, and illuminate a fault light on the driver's dashboard.
