Part 2 — Products
EQUIPMENT
A. General:
Factory--assembled, single--piece, heating and cooling unit.
Contained within the enclosure shall be all factory wiring,
piping, controls, refrigerant charge with R -- 410A refrigerant,
and special features required prior to field start--up.
B. Unit Ca binet:
1. Unit cabinet shall be constructed of phosphated,
zinc--coated, pre--painted steel capable of with--standing 500
hours in salt spray.
2. Normal service shall be through a single removable cabinet
panel.
3. The unit shall be constructed on a rust resistant unit base
that has an externally trapped, integrated sloped drain.
4. Evaporator fan compartment top surface shall be insulated
with a minimum 1/2--in. (12.7 mm) thick, flexible
fiberglass insulation, coated on the air side and retained by
adhesive and mechanical means. The evaporator wall
sections will be insulated with a minimum semi--rigid foil--
faced board capable of being wiped clean. Aluminum foil--
faced fiber glass insulation shall be used in the entire indoor
air cavity section.
5. Unit shall have a field -- supplied condensate trap.
C. Fans:
1. The evaporator fan shall be direct-- drive multi -- speed motor
and control, as shown on equipment drawings.
2. Fan wheel shall be made from steel, be double--inlet type
with forward curved blades with corrosion resistant finish.
Fan wheel shall be dynamically balanced.
3. Condenser fan shall be direct drive propeller type with alu-
minum blades riveted to corrosion resistant steel spiders, be
dynamically balanced, and discharge air vertically.
D. Compressor:
1. Fully hermetic compressors with factory--installed vibration
isolation.
2. Scroll compressors shall be standard on all units.
E. Coils:
Evaporator and condenser coils shall have aluminum plate fins
mechanically bonded to seamless copper tubes with all joints
brazed. Tube sheet openings shall be belled to prevent tube
wear .
F. Refrigerant Components:
Refrigerant expansion device shall be of the fixed orifice type.
G. Filters:
Filter section shall consist of field--installed, throwaway, 1--in.
(25 mm) thick fiberglass filters of commercially available
sizes.
H. Controls and Safeties:
1. Unit controls shall be complete with a self--contained low
voltage control circuit.
2. Compressors shall incorporate a solid-- state compressor
protector that provides reset capability.
I. Operating Characteristics:
1. Unit shall be capable of starting and running at 125_F
(51_C) ambient outdoor temperature (except 48 size shall
be capable of starting and running at 115_ F(46_C)
2. Compressor with standard controls shall be capable of op-
erationdownto40_F(4_C) ambient outdoor temperature.
3. Units shall be provided with fan time delay to prevent cold
air delivery before the heat exchanger warms up.
J. Electrical Requirements:
All unit power wiring shall enter the unit cabinet at a single
location.
K. Motors:
1. Compressor motors shall be of the refrigerant-- cooled type
with line--break thermal and current overload protection.
2. All fan motors shall have permanently lubricated bearings,
and inherent, automatic reset, thermal overload protection.
L. Special Features:
1. Thermostat:
To provide for one--stage heating and cooling in addition
manual or automatic changeover and indoor fan control.
2. Crankcase Heater:
Shall provide anti--floodback protection for low-- load cool-
ing applications.
3. Electric Heaters:
a. Electric heater shall be availabel as a field--installed
option.
b. Heater elements shall be open wire type, adequately
supported and insulated with ceramic bushings.
c. Electric heater packages must provide single point
power connection capability.
