The Model JC unit selection may be obtained by using one of two methods presented. The simplest method isthat based on evaporator ton load and is intended for open type reciprocating compressor applications.
The second method given is selected by total heat of rejection which provides a more comprehensive and accu-rate procedure. In addition to selecting units for open type reciprocating compressor systems, this method maybe applied to selecting condensers for systems with centrifugal, hermetic reciprocating or rotary screw typecompressors.
EVAPORATOR TON METHOD
The JC condenser model numbers (Table No. 1) areequal to the unit capacity in evaporator tons at stan-dard conditions for refrigerant 12, 22 and 502 at 105°F. condensing temp., 40° F. suction temp., and 78°F. wet bulb temperature.
When selecting a unit for non-standard conditions, en-ter Table 3, Page 7, to select capacity correction fac-tors and multiply times the system evaporator ton load.Select the standard unit model number which isgreater than or equal to this product.
From Table 5 Capacity Factor at 75° F. wet bulb and105° F. Cond. = .93.
EXAMPLE
Given: Evaporator Loan, R-22 81 TonsEntering Air Wet Bulb 72° F .
Condensing Temp. 105° FSuction Temp. 30° F .
Determine Condenser Selection:
From Table 3 Capacity Factor at 72° F . wet bulb and105° F. Cond. = .86.
Suction Pressure Capacity Factor at 30° F = 1.03.
81 Tons x .86 x 1.03 = 71.7 corrected tons
Select Model JC-72 since its model number is greaterthan the design corrected evaporator load.
¹Based on standard conditions for refrigerants R-12, R-22 and R-502 at 105º cond., 40º suction, 78º W.B.2Model JC is not applicable for ammonia systems.
Many times, the specification for an evaporative con-denser will be expressed in "Total Heat Rejection" (THR)at the condenser, rather than the net refrigeration effectat the evaporator. Basically, total heat rejection is thesum of the compressor capacity in BTUH and the heatcorresponding to the brake horsepower (BHP) in BTUHfor open type compressors or to the kilowatt (KW) inputin BTUH for hermetic compressors.
Where the "Total Heat Rejection" is not specified, it canbe readily calculated by using the following formulas:
Open Type Compressors:
THR = Compressor Evaporator Capacity (BTUH) +Compressor BHP x 2545
Hermetic Compressor
THR = Compressor Evaporator Capacity (BTUH) +Compressor KW x 3413
The selection procedure for this method is similar to thatgiven for the evaporator ton method once the heat of re-jection requirements are known. Enter Page 9, Table 5and select a capacity factor per design condensing tem-
perature and entering air wet bulb. Multiply the factortimes the system total heat of rejection. Select the unitmodel from Table 4 whose heat of rejection is greaterthan or equal to this product.
51 Tons x 12,000 = 612,000 BTUH49.0 KW x 3413 =167,000 BTUH
Total Heat Rejection =779,000 BTUH
From Table 5 Capacity Factor at 72° F. wet bulb and 105°F. Cond. = .86.
779,000 BTUH x .93 = 724,470 BTUHapprox. (724.5 MBH).
Select Model JC-52 condenser since its nominal totalheat rejection is greater than or equal to the requiredTHR.

Model JC Evaporative Condensers are designedfor applications where a multiple of refrigeration sys-tems are connected to a single unit. The Model JCEvaporative Condensers can be furnished from thefactory having the condenser coil divided into individ-ual refrigerant circuits, each sized to meet a specifiedcapacity. Each circuit is sup-plied with a hot gas inletconnection and liquid outlet connection, each taggedfor identification.The procedure for selecting a multi-circuited con-denser coil is described in the "Selection Example", asoutlined below. For circuit identification purposes it isrequired that circuits be arranged in numerical se-quence. The connections for the individual circuits, willbe numbered at the factory, from left to right when fac-ing connection end of unit, with the number 1 circuitbeing on the extreme left.
Selection Example:Given:Condensing Temperature 100° F.Entering Air Wet Bulb Temp. 72° F.
Ten individual suction cooled hermetic compressorsoperating at suction temperatures and compressor ca-pacities, as shown in the tabulation below.
Procedure1. Tabulate data in Columns 1, 2 and 3, making sure
circuits are in correct numerical sequence.2. From Table No. 7, "Hermetic Compressors," select
Evaporator Temperature Capacity Factor applicableto each Suction Temperature listed in Column 2and tabulate in Column 4.
3. From Table No. 8, select "Condenser Capacity Co-version Factor" applicable to the design condensingtemperature and the design entering air wet bulbtemperature and tabulate in Column 5.
4. Multiply figures in Columns 3, 4 and 5 for each cir-cuit, and tabulate in Column 6.
5. Add all the capacities in Column 6, to arrive at theTotal Adj. BTUH to Nominal required and use thetotal to select the proper size condenser.
Selection:The total Adj. BTUH to Nominal capacity, for the four re-frigeration systems, of 994,900 BTUH, Table No. 6shows the smallest unit that will meet the requirement isModel JC-72 with a THR of 1,058,400 BTUH.To determine the number of tube circuits required foreach sequence number circuit divide Column 6 by Col-umn 7, for each circuit and tabulate in Column 8. If thedecimal part of the tube circuit requirement is less than .3,drop the decimal and enter the whole number in Column9. If the decimal part is equal to or greater than .2, roundoff to the next higher whole number and enter in Col-umn 9.The "Tabulation Sample" shows 33 tube circuits are re-quired, for this example, and Table 6 shows that ModelJC-72 has 33 tube circuits available, therefore, is theproper unit selection.
NOTE:If the summation of the number of tube circuits as-signed to the individual circuits is less than the totalnumber of tube circuits available in the unit, by inspec-tion, add enough tubes to effect a balance. If the sum-mation of the number of tube circuits assigned to the in-dividual circuits is greater than the total number of tubecircuits available in the unit by inspection, deleteenough tubes to effect a balance. However, if such re-duction causes more than a 10 percent reduction in anyof the circuits, go to the next larger unit size and re-assign tube circuits to give adequate capacity to everycircuit.

MULTI-CIRCUITED CONDENSER COIL SELECTION
FAN DAMPERSThe capacity control fan damper is optional equip-ment on all JC units. The package consists of amodulating blade or airfoil located inside the fanhousing. Each blade is installed on a pivotingstainless steel shaft. This design enables relativelyaccurate control of discharge air into the pan sec-tion while providing protection from corrosion andfreezing for the damper system.
ELECTRIC DAMPER CONTROLSAn electric damper control package is available asan accessory for modulating the above dampersystem. A proportioned solid state actuator is fac-tory mounted below the fan scroll and attached tothe damper shaft by connecting linkage. A sensingbulb connected to the actuator by a capillary tubeis normally mounted in the unit pan water basin formonitoring the system. However, when specified apressure control may be supplied for field mount-ing to allow direct head pressure control. An endswitch located inside the motor actuator may beadjusted to cycle the fan motor on for pressurerise and off when dampers close.
DUAL FAN MOTOR UNITS:The dual fan motor package is available as aproven energy saving, capacity control option. Itconsists of furnishing a high efficiency motor, a1200 RPM, low speed motor, two sets of drivesand belts, extended fan shaft, and motor baseson opposite sides of the blower.
A U.L. control-starter panel is available as a com-pletely wired package for one point connection.
ELECTRIC WATER LEVEL CONTROLThe electric water level control package provides aconstant and accurate means of monitoring waterlevel in the unit. For this reason, it is often recom-mended for those installations which require year-round operation in low ambient conditions.The complete package includes an electric floatswitch with stilling chamber which is factory in-stalled in the pan section of the unit. An electricsolenoid valve for water make-up is shippedloose for remote installation. All wiring must beprovided in the field by others.
PAN HEATThe use of a remote sump tank located indoors is acommon form of pan water freeze protection forevaporative cooled equipment. However, for thoseinstallations which will not allow this type of sys-tem, freeze protection may be provided by electricimmersion heaters or steam or hot water coils in-stalled in the pan.The electric heater package consists of immersionheaters installed in the pan to provide efficienteven heat distribution. Standard heaters are se-lected to provide approximately + 40°F. pan waterat –10°F. ambient temperature. A low water cut-out switch is supplied to prevent heater operationwhen the elements are not completely sub-merged. The heaters are monitored by a sumpthermostat with remote sensing bulb located in thepan water. All heaters and controls are factory in-stalled for field wiring by others.
NOTE: Pan heater packages are designed to pre-vent pan water freezing during unit shutdown withfans and pump idle.
SUB-COOLING COILSThe sub-cooling coil accessory consists of an addi-tional coil section located below the standard con-densing coil. All coils are leak tested to 350 PSIGunder water.
The sub-cooling coil is intended for halocarbonrefrigerant applications which specify sub-coolingfor system design. In some cases sub-cooling isneeded to prevent excessive refrigerant flash off dueto a vertical rise in liquid lines or high pressuredrop.
The standard design for a sub-cooling section pro-vides approximately 10°F. of sub-cooling at stan-dard conditions for halocarbon refrigerants.
VIBRATION ISOLATORSSpring type vibration isolator rails may be suppliedfor field installation: some units will require baseframe structural support.
STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION304 stainless steel construction is offered as anoption for sump pan and upper casing panels.
