Notes

Nominal capacity ratings are based on nominal air flow rate; air entering temperature DB/WB 80/67oF (26.5/19.4oC), 45°F (7.2°C) entering chilled
water temperature and 10oF (5.5oC) water temperature rise.

For conditions other than rated, use correction factors for total and sensible capacities.

For air flow rates other than nominal see correction factors.

1. From required evaporating temp. draw a line parallel to line A.


2. From the intersection with required entering air WB draw a line parallel to line B
3. From intersection with required entering air DB project a line parallel to line C and read capacity
correction factor, to be multiplied by nominal sensible cooling stated in Table 4.

- Functionality of intended space usage
- Availability of access for pipes, drains & power.
- Compatibility with intended space finish Selection Procedure
- Fresh air and ventilation requirements
- Noise level desired at peak or part load operations 1. Select unit that delivers approximately air flow required at desired

- Control system desired especially if winter heating is required
with air flow equal or more than that required.
- Economy of layout

Description

Control System Operation

CP-1:
Two pipe system with valve cycled - cooling
only.

Thermostat cycles an electric 2-way or 3-way


motorized valve. The fan runs continuously at
selected speed unless the switch is in the OFF
position.

CP-2:
Two pipe system with total electric heat

The thermostat opens an electric 2-way or 3-


way motorized valve on cooling coil or closes
the electric heating circuit for heating
depending on which is required to satisfy the
thermostat setting. The thermostat with 2
deg. C dead band between heating and cooling
prevents recycling.

When ordering Code CP-2 and the electric


heater option FEH, the auto high temperature
cut out is provided as standard.

CP-3:
Four pipe system with valve cycled

The thermostat automatically cycles 2 or 3-


way motorized hot and chilled water valves to
maintain desired room temperature. The
thermostat with 2-4°C dead band prevents
valve re-cycling.
