DESIGN FEATURES

 

FRAME AND CABINET

 

The heliarc welded tubular steel frame provides for maximum strength and ease of access. Side and front panels can be easily opened and removed with quarter-turn fasteners allowing full access to all unit components. All panels include one inch thick, 1-1/2 pound density insulation for protection and sound attenuation.

 

COIL SECTION

 

Designed for draw through application, the computer selected coil offers greater efficiency in the cooling and dehumidification process. Air bypass is provided to prevent saturated air from being introduced into the controlled space. The coil section is provided with a stainless steel drain pan.

 

FAN SECTION

 

The centrifugal, forward curved, double width, double inlet blower configuration is engineered for quiet reliable operation. The belt driven variable pitch drive section provides adjustable airflow capability to match load requirements of the controlled space. The draw through design insures even air distribution across the coil and bypass, low internal cabinet losses, and static sealing of

the filter section. Motors are mounted on an adjustable slide base and have internal overload protection.

 

FILTER SECTION

 

Units are provided with 2 inch deep, 30% efficient filters (based on ASHRAE Std. 52-76).

 

ELECTRIC REHEAT

 

Low-watt density finned tubular sheathed coils provide ample capacity to maintain room drybulb conditions during a call for dehumidification. Low-watt density coils eliminate ionization associated with open air electric resistance heating. Three stages of reheat are standard.

 

HUMIDIFICATION

 

Data Temp units include an electric steam generator humidifier with a "quick change" disposable cylinder and an auto-flush cycle. The steam generator humidifier with its patented control system optimizes cylinder life and energy efficiency by concentrating incoming water to a predetermined conductivity much higher than that of the entering water. The control system continuously monitors the conductivity in the cylinder through its electronics which allows water to be flushed as often as is necessary to maintain the capacity at this design conductivity. The high design conductivity results in a minimum flushing of heated water, thereby saving energy. The humidifier is designed to allow units at any voltage to produce full rated steam output at an optimum water level based on the design conductivity.

 

 

COMPRESSORIZED SYSTEMS

 

The single stage refrigeration circuit includes a hermetic scroll type

compressor. These durable, heavy duty, fully welded compressors have no

gaskets or seals, eliminating the possibility of refrigerant or oil leaking into the controlled space or environment. Scroll compressors also bring a combination of reliability, efficiency, and improved system sound performance. The refrigeration circuit includes built-in compressor overload protection, crankcase heater, filter drier, sight-glass, adjustable expansion valve with external equalizer, low pressure override timer (air cooled units), manual reset high pressure control, and compressor short cycle timer.

 

Water/glycol cooled units include a counterflow coaxial condenser sized to provide the required capacity for heat rejection with minimum water/glycol flow and low total pressure drop. Head pressure regulating valves control the condensing temperature and maintain required capacity at various water/glycol flow rates and temperatures.

 

Air Cooled with Remote Outdoor Condenser - A wide range of outdoor condensers are available. Condensers are manufactured by Data Aire and sized to meet the heat rejection and ambient conditions as required. The industrial duty design includes galvanized corrosion resistant housing, aluminum finned copper tube coils, coated fan guards, energy efficient thermally protected direct drive motors, and variable fan speed control on lead fan motor for control down to -20° F. Additional fan motors are controlled with ambient thermostats.

 

Air Cooled with Indoor Condenser - A wide range of floor mounted indoor condensers with horizontal intake and discharge are available for applications where an outdoor condenser cannot be used. Units include a forward curved, double width, double inlet blower engineered for quiet, reliable operation. The belt driven variable pitch drive section provides adjustable air flow.

Indoor condensers are provided with a factory mounted and piped receiver. The receiver has a head pressure control valve to maintain flooded condenser control.

 

Air Cooled with Outdoor Condensing Unit - Data Temp units are also available with remote outdoor condensing units. The condensing unit includes a hermetic scroll compressor with built-in overload protection, crankcase heater, filter drier, sight-glass, and condenser coil. The coil is constructed with copper tubes and aluminum fins. The housing is galvanized steel with vertical air discharge. The condenser fan is a variable speed type for head pressure control down to -20° F.

 

Water/Glycol Cooled with Remote Outdoor Dry Cooler - Remote outdoor dry coolers are available in a variety of sizes. Each dry cooler includes galvanized corrosion resistant housing, aluminum finned copper tube coil, coated fan guards, surge tank, pump contactor, and energy efficient thermally protected direct drive motors. Fan cycling is controlled by ambient thermostats dry coolers with more than one fan.

 

CHILLED WATER SYSTEMS

 

Chilled water systems include all the same features of the Data Temp product line. Designed for draw through application, the computer selected coil offers greater efficiency in the cooling and dehumidification process. Air bypass is water provided to prevent saturated air from being introduced into the controlled space. Chilled flow is controlled by a 3-way modulating valve for accurate and economical temperature control and dehumidification.

 

CONTROL SYSTEM

 

The microprocessor based Data Alarm Processor-II (DAP-II) offers the definite answer for precision environmental control. The DAP-II control system not only monitors temperature, humidity, airflow, and cleanliness, it provides component runtimes, alarm history, and an automatic self-test of the microprocessor on system start-up. All messages are presented in a clear

vernacular format and are sequentially displayed on a 2 row, 80 character, backlit liquid crystal display (LCD).

 

Operation - High reliability, flat, sealed switches with tactile feedback allow unit on/off operation, menu selection for programming, operational information, diagnostics, and historical data. Multilevel passwords prevent unauthorized access. Alarm conditions are enunciated by an audible alarm. The alarm silence switch will quiet the audible alarm but the display will continue to indicate the alarm condition until the problem is corrected.

Energy Saver Coil - The Data Aire Energy Saver Coil is built into the system to provide total required capacity. Whenever the incoming water/glycol temperature is below 45° F/7.2° C, Energy Saver cooling is available. Energy Saver mode operates in the following range: Return air setpoint plus deadband plus two degrees. The Energy Saver will operate providing there is a need for cooling. The valve will open at setpoint plus deadband. The valve will modulate as long as the space is between setpoint plus deadband plus 2 degrees. If the temperature falls below the deadband minus setpoint, the valve will close and the space is considered satisfied. While still in Energy Saver with the valve modulating, if the temperature goes beyond setpoint plus deadband plus 2 degrees the Energy Saver valve will close and DX cooling will begin.

 

The Energy Saver Coil includes the next size motor, 3-way pressure control valve on condenser water circuit, 3-way valve on the economy coil and steam generator humidifier (as required). Common piping for coil and condenser is provided.

 

Energy Saver/Compressor Supplement - Units with the Energy Saver Coil can be provided with compressor supplement if the Energy Saver is not sufficient as a stand alone system.  When the incoming water/glycol temperature is below the setpoint of the water changeover thermostat, the Energy Saver mode is enabled (even if there is no call for cooling). Upon a call for cooling (setpoint plus deadband), the valve will open proportionally - 10% for each 0.1° above setpoint plus deadband. The compressor will come on at setpoint plus deadband plus 1.0° (the valve is 100% open at this point). The compressor will go off at setpoint plus deadband plus 0.7°. The valve will close proportionally - 10% for each 0.1° below setpoint plus deadband. An air discharge sensor is factory installed.

 

Auxiliary Chilled Water Coil - Where an existing chilled water loop is available, units can be fitted with an auxiliary chilled water coil. Units will operate using the chilled water for cooling. Upon a loss of water flow or an increase in room temperature the system will bring on compressor (DX) cooling. The Auxiliary Chilled Water Coil includes the next size motor and a steam generator humidifier (as required). Separate piping is provided for the chilled water coil and refrigeration connections.

 

Auxiliary Chilled Water Coil/Compressor Supplement - The Auxiliary Chilled Water Coil can be provided with compressor supplement for extended savings by allowing the compressor to supplement operation as needed when the chilled water is not sufficient on a stand alone basis. An air discharge sensor is factory installed. (See Energy Saver/Compressor Supplement for details).

 

Remote Temperature & Humidity Sensors - Temperature and humidity sensors may be ordered for remote wall mounting. Sensors are provided in a wall mount plastic case for remote sensing of temperature and humidity. 25 feet of shielded cable is provided for field wiring.

 

Smoke Detector - A unit mounted smoke detector will shut down the unit if smoke is sensed. The unit mounted microprocessor will sound an alarm and display a "SMOKE DETECTED" message. The smoke detector is mounted in the return air stream and is provided with auxiliary contacts.

 

2-Stage Control - An electronically controlled hot gas bypass valve is available for 2-stage control. A solenoid valve allows hot gas to bypass. As the load increases, the solenoid valve closes electronically at 60 psi (adjustable). Should the load on the evaporator decrease to the point where the valve is below the desired setting, the solenoid valve will open allowing some hot gas to mix with the normal liquid discharge of the expansion valve raising the evaporator pressure. This reduces the cooling capacity of the unit to match the load.

 

Hot Water Reheat - Where hot water is available, a unit installed reheat coil is available. The coil is designed for 150 psi maximum water pressure and includes a 2-way valve (a 3-way valve is optional).

 

Hot Gas Reheat - Unit hot gas discharge is used for reheat and maximum system efficiency. (Note: Units with Hot Gas Bypass option are not available with hot gas reheat)

 

Unit Mounted Disconnect - A unit mounted non-automatic disconnect switch is installed in the high voltage electrical section. The operating mechanism prevents access to the high voltage electrical components until switched to the "OFF" position. The operating mechanism (handle) protrudes through the decorative door.

 

Hot Gas Bypass - Hot gas bypass may be ordered for changing load conditions. The hot gas bypass is installed between the compressor discharge line and the leaving side of the expansion valve through a side outlet distributor. The system with the evaporator under full load will maintain pressure on the leaving side of the hot gas bypass valve to keep the valve port closed. Should the load on the evaporator decrease to the point where the coil is below the desired setting, the pressure on the discharge of the hot gas bypass will put pressure on the diaphragm overcoming the spring pressure on the seat and allowing some hot gas to mix with the normal liquid discharge of the expansion valve raising the evaporator pressure. This reduces the cooling capacity of the unit to match the load.

 

3-Way Water Regulating Valve - 3-way water regulating valve for pressure control may be ordered to replace standard 2-way valve installed in unit. 3-way valves provide control of condensing temperature maintaining constant system capacity and condenser water flow.

 

Condensate Pump - Condensate pumps may ordered as factory installed or for field installation. Condensate pumps are complete with sump, motor, and automatic control. The pumps are rated for 130 GPH @ 20 foot maximum or 40 GPH @ 20 feet with check valve. Pumps shipped loose are available in 115, 230, or 460 volt.

 

Upflow Plenum - Upflow plenums are fully insulated with front discharge air grille. Side grilles for both or one side are available. Plenums are 18 inches high and are painted to match the unit color.

 

Floorstand - Floorstands are adjustable +/- 2 inches and are available with a factory installed turning vane or with seismic construction.

 

60% Efficient Filter - The standard 30% efficient filter may be replaced with 60% efficient filter (based on ASHRAE Std. 52-76). Filters are 2 inch deep, pleated type.

 

Extended Compressor Warranties - Extended compressor warranties are available for periods of twenty-four (24) or forty-two (42) months in addition to the standard factory eighteen (18) month warranty. These warranties are for the replacement of compressors and do not include labor.
