Kuhl Q Control Panel Operation  
Let’s check out how to control your air conditioner. On the control panel, just above the POWER , is a liquid crystal display (LCD). All of the control panel function  
buttons and mode icons can be viewed in Figure 6.  
Power On – Press the button to turn on the air conditioner. The power button illuminates to indicate that the power is on. The backlight on the power switch  
will automatically dim to 20% intensity after 15 seconds of inactivity. The remote control can also be used to turn power ON / OFF (See Remote Control).  
Display – The display is a high ef¿ciency LCD with a built-in white backlight. The backlight has an automatic two (2) step dim function. After 15 seconds of  
inactivity, the display dims to 20% intensity. After an additional 120 seconds, the display switches off. Touching any button automatically changes the display  
to full brightness.  
There are three control push buttons on each side of the display.

The “Residential” (40 Hr. Work Week) Schedule has four (4) time periods: 06:00,  
08:00, 18:00, and 22:00. This option will cause your Kühl Q unit to raise the room  
temperature temporarily to 85°F during the hours when most people are away  
at work, lower them again to 78°F prior to the time when most people will return  
home, and then raise slightly to 82°F to maintain a comfortable temperature  
overnight.  
Kühl gives you a variety of options for control, programming, and  
scheduling including wireless capabilities  
Wireless Programming and Control:  
The new FriedrichLink™ Adapter (sold seperately) allows you to conviently  
control, program and monitor your air conditioning unit remotely from a  
smartphone or computer.  
The “Commercial” (5-Day Business Week) Schedule has two (2) time periods:  
07:00 and 18:00. This option will cause your air conditioner to raise temperatures  
to 84°F after typical working hours and on weekends when commercial spaces  
are typically unoccupied.  
FriedrichLink™ Adapter accessory available through Friedrich authorized  
(See Control Panel Operation Instructions Section)  
Pre-Programmed Scheduling Options:  
Customizable Programming Options:  
Your unit’s digital control comes equipped with a 24-hour timer and two pre-  
programmed 7-day energy management options.  
Customizable schedules, with up to four temperature adjustments per day, can  
either be uploaded to the unit via the air conditioner’s built-in micro USB interface  
or conveniently transmitted wirelessly using the new FriedrichLink™ Adapter  
accessory, greatly simplifying the programming of one or multiple units.

During the (SYSTEM mode COOL or HEAT), the fan speed automatically varies depending on the difference between the unit's set point on the control  
panel and the actual room temperature. Let me explain. Say for example, you’re working in your garage and you open the big door for several minutes. The  
system will sense a wide difference between the set point and the actual room temperature. When this occurs, the system fan speed increases to HIGH for  
a period of time. The fan speed decreases, in step, as the temperature difference decreases. When the room temperature matches the system's set point,  
fan speed returns to the lowest setting, and if the fan mode is on AUTO FAN, the fan will stop.

off for 30 seconds  
Note: this fan delay is disabled during Test Mode  
Heating Fan Delay  
This is only for fan Mode Auto (Fan cycles with cool/heat operation) and not for continuous fan mode. When unit  
cycles Heating ON – starts the fan 5 seconds EARLY. When unit cycles Heating OFF – DELAYS the fan off for 15  
seconds  
Note: the fan delay is disabled during Test Mode  
Fan Speed Change Delay  
Relay activation is delayed by a minimum number of seconds. The default for this value is 2 seconds and is used to  
eliminate relay chatter.  
Fan Only System Mode  
Only the Fan is turned on. Cool or Heat operation are off.  
(This is different than FAN MODE CONTINUOUS where the fan is on with the cool or heat operation).  
Fan Only Rules  
1. If the SYSTEM FAN ONLY MODE is selected, the Auto fan mode is disabled, and the fan mode is forced to  
continuous. In addition, the auto fan speed is disabled. If the user presses the fan speed key, the menu will skip over  
the auto selection. The set point temperature display is off.  
2. Any fan speed may be manually selected during Fan Only Mode.

FAN MOTOR  
A single phase permanent split capacitor motor is used to drive  
the evaporator blower and condenser fan. A self-resetting  
overload is located inside the motor to protect against high  
temperature and high amperage conditions.
Many motor capacitors are internally fused. Shorting the  
terminals will blow the fuse, ruining the capacitor. A 20,000  
ohm 2 watt resistor can be used to discharge capacitors  
safely. Remove wires from capacitor and place resistor  
across terminals. When checking a dual capacitor with a  
capacitor analyzer or ohmmeter, both sides must be tested.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
Disconnect power to the unit before  
servicing. Failure to follow this warning  
could result in serious injury or death.  
Capacitor Check with Capacitor Analyzer  
The capacitor analyzer will show whether the capacitor is  
“open” or “shorted.” It will tell whether the capacitor is within  
its micro farads rating and it will show whether the capacitor  
is operating at the proper power-factor percentage. The  
instrument will automatically discharge the capacitor when  
the test switch is released.  
BLOWER/FAN MOTOR - TEST  
1. Determine that capacitor is serviceable.  
Capacitor Connections  
2. Disconnect fan motor wires from fan speed switch or  
system switch.  
The starting winding of a motor can be damaged by a  
shorted and grounded running capacitor. This damage  
usually can be avoided by proper connection of the running  
capacitor terminals.  
3. Apply “live” test cord probes on black wire and common  
terminal of capacitor. Motor should run at high speed.  
From the supply line on a typical 230 volt circuit, a 115 volt  
potential exists from the “R” terminal to ground through a  
possible short in the capacitor. However, from the “S” or start  
terminal, a much higher potential, possibly as high as 400  
volts, exists because of the counter EMF generated in the  
start winding. Therefore, the possibility of capacitor failure

When connected properly, a shorted or grounded running  
capacitor will result in a direct short to ground from the “R”  
terminal and will blow the line fuse. The motor protector will

COMPONENTS TESTING (Continued)  
HEATING ELEMENT
DRAIN PAN VALVE  
All electric heat models are equipped with a heating element.  
The EQ08 has a 1.15 KW element.  
During the cooling mode of operation, condensate which  
collects in the drain pan is picked up by the condenser fan  
blade and sprayed onto the condenser coil. This assists  
in cooling the refrigerant plus evaporating the water.  
Heating Element  
During the heating mode of operation, it is necessary that  
water be removed to prevent it from freezing during cold  
outside temperatures. This could cause the condenser  
fan blade to freeze in the accumulated water and prevent  
it from turning.  
To provide a means of draining this water, a bellows type  
drain valve is installed over a drain opening in the base  
pan.  
The heating element contains a fuse link and a heater limit  
switch. The fuse link is in series with the power supply and  
will open and interrupt the power when the temperature  
UHDFKHVꢀ ꢆꢅꢅ°F or a short circuit occurs in the heating  
element. Once the fuse link separates, a new fuse link  
must be installed.  
This valve is temperature sensitive and will open when  
the outside temperature reaches 40°F. The valve will  
close gradually as the temperature rises above 40°F to  
fully close at 60°F.  
NOTE: Always replace with the exact replacement.  
The heater element has a high limit control. This control  
is a bimetal thermostat mounted in the top of the heating  
element.

REFRIGERATION SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
A good understanding of the basic operation of the  
refrigeration system is essential for the service technician.  
Without this understanding, accurate troubleshooting of  
UHIULJHUDWLRQꢀV\VWHPꢀSUREOHPVꢀZLOOꢀEHꢀPRUHꢀGLI¿FXOWꢀDQGꢀWLPHꢀ  
consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible. The  
refrigeration system uses four basic principles (laws) in its  
operation they are as follows:  
The refrigerant leaves the condenser Coil through the  
liquid line as a warm high pressure liquid. It next will pass  
through the refrigerant drier (if so equipped). It is the function  
of the drier to trap any moisture present in the system,  
contaminants, and large particulate matter.  
The liquid refrigerant next enters the metering device. The  
metering device is a capillary tube. The purpose of the  
metering device is to “meter” (i.e. control or measure) the  
quantity of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil.  
ꢆꢁꢀꢀ³+HDWꢀDOZD\VꢀÀRZVꢀIURPꢀDꢀZDUPHUꢀERG\ꢀWRꢀDꢀFRROHUꢀꢀERG\ꢁ´ꢀ  
2. “Heat must be added to or removed from a substance  
before a change in state can occur”  
In the case of the capillary tube this is accomplished (by  
design) through size (and length) of device, and the pressure  
difference present across the device.  
3. “Flow is always from a higher pressure area to a lower  
pressure area.”  
Since the evaporator coil is under a lower pressure (due to  
the suction created by the compressor) than the liquid line,  
the liquid refrigerant leaves the metering device entering the  
evaporator coil. As it enters the evaporator coil, the larger  
area and lower pressure allows the refrigerant to expand  
and lower its temperature (heat intensity). This expansion is  
often referred to as “boiling”. Since the unit’s blower is moving  
LQGRRUDLUDFURVVWKH¿QQHGVXUIDFHRIWKHHYDSRUDWRUFRLOꢋꢀ  
the expanding refrigerant absorbs some of that heat. This  
results in a lowering of the indoor air temperature, hence the  
“cooling” effect.  
4. “The temperature at which a liquid or gas changes state  
is dependent upon the pressure.”  
The refrigeration cycle begins at the compressor. Starting  
the compressor creates a low pressure in the suction line  
which draws refrigerant gas (vapor) into the compressor.  
The compressor then “compresses” this refrigerant, raising  
its pressure and its (heat intensity) temperature.  
The refrigerant leaves the compressor through the discharge  
Line as a hot High pressure gas (vapor). The refrigerant  
enters the condenser coil where it gives up some of its

surface facilitates the transfer of heat from the refrigerant to  
the relatively cooler outdoor air.  
The expansion and absorbing of heat cause the liquid  
refrigerant to evaporate (i.e. change to a gas). Once the  
refrigerant has been evaporated (changed to a gas), it is  
KHDWHGꢀHYHQꢀIXUWKHUꢀE\ꢀWKHꢀDLUꢀWKDWꢀFRQWLQXHVꢀWRꢀÀRZꢀDFURVVꢀ  
the evaporator coil.

the refrigerant gas (vapor), the refrigerant will “condense”  
(i.e. change to a liquid). Once the refrigerant has been  
condensed (changed) to a liquid it is cooled even further by  
WKHꢀDLUꢀWKDWꢀFRQWLQXHVꢀWRꢀÀRZꢀDFURVVꢀWKHꢀFRQGHQVHUꢀFRLOꢁꢀꢀ  
The particular system design determines at exactly what  
point (in the evaporator) the change of state (i.e. liquid to a  
gas) takes place. In all cases, however, the refrigerant must  
be totally evaporated (changed) to a gas before leaving the  
evaporator coil.  
The RAC design determines at exactly what point (in the  
condenser) the change of state (i.e. gas to a liquid) takes  
place. In all cases, however, the refrigerant must be  
totally condensed (changed) to a Liquid before leaving the  
condenser coil.  
The low pressure (suction) created by the compressor  
causes the refrigerant to leave the evaporator through the  
suction line as a cool low pressure vapor. The refrigerant  
then returns to the compressor, where the cycle is repeated.

dedicated to prevent contamination.  
Manifold sets must be equipped with gauges capable of reading 750 psig (high side) and 200  
psig (low side), with a 500-psig low-side retard.  
Gauge hoses must have a minimum 750-psig service pressure rating  
Recovery cylinders must have a minimum service pressure rating of 400 psig, (DOT 4BA400  
and DOT BW400 approved cylinders).  
POE (Polyol-Ester) lubricants must be used with R-410A equipment.  
To prevent moisture absorption and lubricant contamination, do not leave the refrigeration  
system open to the atmosphere longer than 1 hour.  
Weigh-in the refrigerant charge into the high side of the system.  
Introduce liquid refrigerant charge into the high side of the system.  
For low side pressure charging of R-410A, use a charging adaptor.

compressor motor. When this occurs, the motor winding  
temperature will increase causing the motor to overheat  
and possibly cycle open the compressor overload protector.  
Continued overheating of the motor windings and/or cycling  
of the overload will eventually lead to compressor motor or  
overload failure.  
NOTE: Because the KuhlQ system is a sealed system,  
service process tubes will have to be installed. First install a  
line tap and remove refrigerant from system. Make necessary  
sealed system repairs and vacuum system. Crimp process  
tube line and solder end shut. Do not leave a service valve in  
the sealed system.

Method Of Charging / Repairs  
The acceptable method for charging the RAC system is the  
Weighed in Charge Method. The weighed in charge method is  
applicable to all units. It is the preferred method to use, as it is  
the most accurate.  
The weighed in method should always be used whenever  
a charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair,  
compressor replacement, or when there is no refrigerant  
charge left in the unit. To charge by this method, requires the  
following steps:  
1. Install a piercing valve to remove refrigerant from the  
sealedsystem. (Piercing valve must be removed from the  
system before recharging.)  
2. Recover Refrigerant in accordance with EPA regulations.

Undercharged Refrigerant Systems  
An undercharged system will result in poor performance  
(low pressures, etc.) in both the heating and cooling cycle.  
A check of the amperage drawn by the compressor  
motor should show a lower reading. (Check the Unit

check the gauge pressures. Gauges connected to system  
with an undercharge will have low head pressures and  
substantially low suction pressures.  
Whenever you service a unit with an undercharge of  
refrigerant, always suspect a leak. The leak must be  
repaired before charging the unit.  
To check for an undercharged system, turn the unit on,  
allow the compressor to run long enough to establish  
working pressures in the system (15 to 20 minutes).  
During the cooling cycle you can listen carefully at the exit  
of the metering device into the evaporator; an intermittent  
hissing and gurgling sound indicates a low refrigerant  
charge. Intermittent frosting and thawing of the evaporator  
is another indication of a low charge, however, frosting

of the evaporator will not be encountered because the  
refrigerant will boil later if at all. Gauges connected to  
system will usually have higher head pressure (depending  
upon amount of over charge). Suction pressure should be  
slightly higher.  
Overcharged Refrigerant Systems  
Compressor amps will be near normal or higher.  
Noncondensables can also cause these symptoms.

Restricted Refrigerant System  
Troubleshooting a restricted refrigerant system can be  
GLI¿FXOWꢁꢀThe following procedures are the more common  
problems and solutions to these problems. There are two  
types of refrigerant restrictions: Partial restrictions and  
complete restrictions.  
at the metering device entrance to the evaporator. The  
evaporator in a partial restriction could be partially frosted  
or have an ice ball close to the entrance of the metering  
device. Frost may continue on the suction line back to the  
compressor.  
A partial restriction allows some of the refrigerant to  
circulate through the system.  
Often a partial restriction of any type can be found by feel,  
as there is a temperature difference from one side of the  
restriction to the other.  
With a complete restriction there is no circulation of  
refrigerant in the system.  
With a complete restriction, there will be no sound at the  
metering device entrance. An amperage check of the  
compressor with a partial restriction may show normal  
FXUUHQWZKHQFRPSDUHGWRWKHXQLWVSHFL¿FDWLRQꢁ:LWKD  
complete restriction the current drawn may be considerably  
less than normal, as the compressor is running in a deep  
vacuum (no load.) Much of the area of the condenser will  
be relatively cool since most or all of the liquid refrigerant  
will be stored there.  
Restricted refrigerant systems display the same symptoms  
as a “low-charge condition.”  
When the unit is shut off, the gauges may equalize very  
slowly.  
Gauges connected to a completely restricted system  
will run in a deep vacuum. When the unit is shut off, the  
gauges will not equalize at all.  
The following conditions are based primarily on a system  
in the cooling mode.  
A quick check for either condition begins at the evaporator.  
With a partial restriction, there may be gurgling sounds  
33  
COMPRESSOR CHECKS  
External Overload  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
The compressor is equipped with an external overload  
which senses both motor amperage and winding tem-  
perature. High motor temperature or amperage heats the  
overload causing it to open, breaking the common circuit  
within the compressor.  
Turn off electric power before service or  
installation. Extreme care must be used, if it  
becomes necessary to work on equipment with  
power applied.  
Heat generated within the compressor shell, usually due  
to recycling of the motorꢂꢀLVꢀVORZꢀWRꢀGLVVLSDWHꢁꢀ,WꢀPD\ꢀWDNHꢀꢀ  
anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for the  
overload to reset.  
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or  
death.  
Locked Rotor Voltage (L.R.V.) Test  
Locked rotor voltage (L.R.V.) is the actual voltage available  
at the compressor under a stalled condition.  
Checking the External Overload  
Single Phase Connections  
WARNING  
Disconnect power from unit. Using a voltmeter, attach one  
lead of the meter to the run “R” terminal on the compressor  
and the other lead to the common “C” terminal of the com-  
pressor. Restore power to unit.  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
Turn off electric power before service or  
installation. Extreme care must be used, if it  
becomes necessary to work on equipment  
with power applied.  
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or  
death.  
Determine L.R.V.  
Start the compressor with the volt meter attached; then stop  
the unit. Attempt to restart the compressor within a couple  
of seconds and immediately read the voltage on the meter.  
The compressor under these conditions will not start and will  
usually kick out on overload within a few seconds since the  
pressures in the system will not have had time to equalize.  
Voltage should be at or above minimum voltage of 197 VAC,

for cause of inadequate power supply; i.e., incorrect wire  
size, loose electrical connections, etc.  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Certain unit components operate at  
temperatures hot enough to cause burns.  
Proper safety procedures must be followed,  
and proper protective clothing must be  
worn.  
Amperage (L.R.A.) Test  
Failure to follow this warning could result  
in moderate to serious injury.  
The running amperage of the compressor is the most impor-  
tant of these readings. A running amperage higher than that  
indicated in the performance data indicates that a problem  
exists mechanically or electrically.  
With power off, remove the leads from compressor termi-

34  
Single Phase Resistance Test  
Remove the leads from the compressor terminals and set  
the ohmmeter on the lowest scale (R x 1).  
Many compressor failures are caused by the following  
conditions:  
ꢆꢁꢀꢀꢀꢀ,PSURSHUꢀDLUꢀÀRZꢀRYHUꢀWKHꢀHYDSRUDWRUꢁꢀ  
Touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common  
to start (“C” to “S”). Next, touch the leads of the ohmmeter  
from terminals common to run (“C” to “R”).  
2. Overcharged refrigerant system causing liquid to be  
returned to the compressor.  
Add values “C” to “S” and “C” to “R” together and  
check resistance from start to run terminals (“S” to “R”).  
Resistance “S” to “R” should equal the total of “C” to “S”  
and “C” to “R.”  
3. Restricted refrigerant system.  
4. Lack of lubrication.  
5. Liquid refrigerant returning to compressor causing oil  
to be washed out of bearings.  
In a single phase PSC compressor motor, the highest  
value will be from the start to the run connections (“S” to  
“R”). The next highest resistance is from the start to the  
common connections (“S” to “C”). The lowest resistance  
is from the run to common. (“C” to “R”) Before replacing a  
compressor, check to be sure it is defective.  
6.  
Noncondensables such as air and moisture in  
the system. Moisture is extremely destructive to a  
refrigerant system.  
7. Defective capacitors.  
GROUND TEST  
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one  
lead to the compressor body (clean point of contact as  
a good connection is a must) and the other probe in turn  
to each compressor terminal. If a reading is obtained the  
compressor is grounded and must be replaced.  
Check the complete electrical system to the compressor  
and compressor internal electrical system, check to be  
certain that compressor is not out on internal overload.  
Complete evaluation of the system must be made  
whenever you suspect the compressor is defective. If  
the compressor has been operating for sometime, a  
careful examination must be made to determine why the  
compressor failed.

an electronic tester to measure wet bulb temperatures  
indoors and outdoors.  
To Remove, Wash and Replace Filter  
Lower front panel (See Figure 2). Use handle on filter to flex  
filter up and out of retainer. Remove filter from unit (See  
Figure 3). Clean filter monthly or more frequently if needed.  
Clean the filters with a mild detergent in warm water and  
allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling. Refer to  
accessories section for filter options.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (Continued)  
NOTICE  
Do not drill holes in the bottom of the drain pan or the  
underside of the unit. Not following this notice could  
result in damage to the unit or condensate water leaking  
inappropriately which could cause water damage to  
surrounding property.  
SLEEVE / DRAIN  
Inspect the sleeve and drain system periodically (at least yearly or bi-yearly) and clean of all obstructions and  
debris. Clean both areas with an antibacterial and antifungal cleaner. Rinse both items thoroughly with water and  
ensure that the drain outlets are operating correctly. Check the sealant around the sleeve and reseal areas as  
needed.  
CLEARANCES  
Inspect the surrounding area (inside and outside) to ensure that the unit’s clearances have not been compromised or  
altered.

After Maintenance/Repair Start-Up  
Checklist & Notes  
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside  
temperature is above 60°F (15.6°C) and below 115°F (46.1°C), so it won't  
cool a room if it is already cool outside.  
Inspect and ensure that all components and accessories have been  
installed properly and that they have not been damaged during the  
installation progress.  
Condensation is normal  
Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the  
outside. Humidity becomes water, and your air conditioner will use most  
of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity,  
there may be excess water that will drip outside. This is normal operation.  
Check the condensate water drain(s) to ensure that they are adequate  
for the removal of condensate water, and that they meet the approval  
of the end user.  
Ensure that all installation instructions concerning clearances around  
the unit have been adhered to. Check to ensure that the unit air ¿lter,  
indoor coil, and outdoor coil are free from any obstructions.  
Frosting  
This usually occurs because of insuf¿cient airÀow across the coils, a dirty  
¿lter, cool damp weather, or all of these. Set the SYSTEM mode to FAN  
ONLY and the frost will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer  
will probably prevent the frosting from recurring.  
Ensure that the circuit breaker(s) or fuse(s) and supply circuit wire  
size have been sized correctly. If the unit was supplied with a power  
supply cord, insure that it is stored properly.  
Noises  
Ensure that the entire installation is in compliance with all applicable  
national and local codes and ordinances having jurisdiction.  
All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich units are designed to  
operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner mounted in a wall is quieter  
than one mounted in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis  
seal gasket (Item 14) is properly installed (refer to installation instructions).  
Secure components and accessories, such as a decorative front  
cover.  
Start the unit and check for proper operation of all components in  
each mode of operation.  
Instruct the owner or operator of the units operation, and the  
manufacturer's Routine Maintenance.  
NOTE: A log for recording the dates of maintenance and/or service is  
recommended.  
Present the owner or operator of the equipment with the Installation  
& Operation Manual, all accessory installation instructions, and the  
name, address and telephone number of the Authorized Friedrich  
Warranty Service Company in the area for future reference if  
necessary.

HEAT LOAD FORM  
The heat load form on the following page may be used by  
Following is an example using the heat load form:  
servicingpersonneltodeterminetheheatlossofaconditioned  
space and the ambient winter design temperatures in which  
the unit will heat the calculated space.  
A space to be conditioned is part of a house geographically  
located in an area where the lowest outdoor ambient winter  
temperature is 40°F. The calculated heat loss is 184 BTU/  
Hr./°F.  
The upper half of the form is for computing the heat loss of  
the space to be conditioned. It is necessary only to insert  
the proper measurements on the lines provided and multiply  
by the given factors, then add this result for the total heat  
loss in BTU/Hr./°F.  
Subtract 40°F (lowest outdoor ambient temperature for the  
geographical location) from 70°F (inside design temperature  
of the unit) for a difference of 30°F. Multiply 184 by 30 for a  
5500 BTU/Hr. total heat loss for the calculated space.  
The BTU/Hr. per °F temperature difference is the 70°F  
inside winter designed temperature minus the lowestoutdoor  
ambient winter temperature of the area where the unit is  
installed. This temperature difference is used asthe multiplier  
when calculating the heat loss.  
On the graph, plot the base point (70°) and a point on the  
40°F line where it intersects with the 5500 BTU/Hr. line on  
the left scale. Draw a straight line from the base point 70  
through the point plotted at 40°F. This is the total heat loss  
line.  
The graph shows the following:  
Knowing that we have a 5500 BTU/Hr. heat loss, and  
we expect that our heat pump will maintain a 70°F inside  
temperature at 40°F outdoor ambient, we plot the selected  
unit capacity BTU/Hr. of the unit between 35° and 60° on the  
graph and draw a straight line between these points. Where  
the total heat loss line and the unit capacity line intersect,  
read down to the outdoor ambient temperature scale and  
¿nd that this unit will deliver the required BTU/Hr. capacity  
to approximately 30°F.
