DESCRIPTION
The HVAC system has two separate refrigeration circuits (situated in series with respect to each other), which allows for greater load shedding when 50% or less of the total cooling power is required (i.e. days when ambient temperatures are approximately 70 F and below). In addition, the two separate refrigeration circuits provide a level of redundancy if one of the circuits should fail. NOTE: At temperatures above 70 F, both circuits are required to maintain setpoint.
Environm entalSpecifications:The system is designed to operate in environments ranging from 15 F to 120 F and with either 60 Hz or 50 Hz power supplies. NOTE: Even w hen the A/C unit is optimally functional, there is no guaranteed temperature setpoint. Indeed, system limits are determined by the follow ing factors:ambient temperature, humidity and pow er specifications ( i.e. w hether the system is operating at 50 H z or 60 H z) .
Tem perature Control :Temperature control is achieved by modulating an electronic EPR (Evaporator Pressure, Regulating) valve installed on circuit #1 (the primary circuit). Circuit #2 operates in an ON/OFF mode controlled by the controller. The controller uses its alarm contacts to turn each compressor on or off. NOTE: If the ambient temperature is very low , the unit may sw itch over to a heating mode. Should this occur, both compressors are automatically locked out of operation and the heater is pulsed to maintain setpoint.
System Indicators:The LEDs and Digital Temperature Controller, mounted on the front of the electric panel, will indicate system status and any faults while the system is powered (even if the ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF). NOTE: The LEDs and Digital Temperature Controller can only be shut dow n via the main pow er breaker located on the front of the electric panel.
