Cooling with Six Single Stage Units (w/Economizers) Using Twinning/Pairs Option
The Advantages of Twinning: Pairs
Using the same number of units as shown in Figure
9 on page 25 (six units w/economizers) and selecting
the Pairs option in Twinning, the number of stages can
be reduced to six by engaging two units per stage (see
Figure 10). This reduces the temperature range in the
building by 50% as well (5°F).

By pairing units, the temperature spread to bring on all resources goes from 11°F down to 5°F.

The Advantages of Twinning: Triples
Using the same number of units and selecting the
Triples option in Twinning, the number of stages can be
reduced to four and the space temperature narrowed
even more, from singles (77°F to 88°F, 11°F total)
to pairs (77°F to 82°F to, 5°F total) to triples (77°F
to 83°F, 3°F total) as shown in Figure 11. Be sure to
consider the total number of stages and choose the
best option for the specifications.
