All panels shall be self-supporting. COMPRESSOR: Shall be manufactured by the unit manufacturer. Units shall have multiple compressors with independent circuits. Scroll compressors shall be heavy-duty, suction-cooled type with suction screen, centrifugal oil pump with dirt separator, oils sight glass and oil charging valve. Protective devices for low pressure, high pressure and motor temperature shall be provided. The compressors shall be mounted on rubber-in-shear isolators for vibration insolation. CONDENSER: One condenser shall be provided for each Compressor. The condensers shall be shell-and-tube design with removal heads and mechanically cleanable tubes. Condenser tubes shall be nominal inch O.D. copper. Condenser waterside working Pressure shall be 400 psig. Unit will allow condenser water piping to be brought to the condensers from the right side of the unit. All water piping including economizer valve package shall be manifolded into a single inlet and outlet and extended to the exterior of the unit. EVAPORATOR: The evaporator coil shall be seamless copper tubes expanded into aluminum fins. Tubes shall be -inch O.D. with internally enhanced surfaces.
