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.
