Features/Benefits

One-piece heating and cooling units with low sound levels, easy installation, low maintenance, and dependable performance.
Puron is Carrier’s unique refrigerant designed to be environmentally balanced. Puron is an HFC refrigerant which does not contain chlorine that can harm the ozone layer. The most important advantage of Puron refrigerant is that it has not been banned in future air conditioning systems as the traditional refrigerant R-22 has been. Puron refrigerant is in service in millions of systems proving highly reliable and is non-ozone depleting.

Easy Installation
Factory-assembled package is a compact, fully self-contained, combination gas heating/electric cooling unit that is prewired, pre-piped, and pre-charged for minimum installation expense. These units are available in a variety of standard and optional heating/ cooling size combinations with voltage options to meet residential and light commercial requirements. Units are lightweight and install easily on a rooftop or at ground level. The high tech composite base eliminates rust problems associated with ground level applications.

Innovative Unit Base Design
On the inside a high-tech composite material will not rust and incorporates a sloped drain pan which improves drainage and helps inhibit mold, algae and bacterial growth. On the outside metal base rails provide added stability as well as easier handling and rigging.

Convertible Duct Configuration
Unit is designed for use in either downflow or horizontal applications. Each unit is converted from horizontal to downflow and includes two horizontal duct covers. Downflow operation is provided in the field to allow vertical ductwork connections. The basepan seals on the bottom openings to ensure a positive seal in the vertical airflow mode.

Efficient operation high-efficiency design offers SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios) of 13.4, 11.05 EER2, and AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings of 81.0%.
Energy-saving, direct spark ignition saves gas by operating only when the room thermostat calls for heating. Standard units are furnished with natural gas controls.
Ultra Low NOx units meet California air quality district standards requiring NOx emissions no more than 14ng/J.

Durable, Dependable Components
Turbo-tubular™ heat exchangers are constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and optimum heat transfer for improved efficiency.
The tubular design permits hot gases to make multiple passes across the path of the supply air.
In addition, dimples located on the heat exchanger walls force the hot gases to stay in close contact with the walls, improving heat transfer.
ECM Blower Motor is standard on all models.

Direct-drive PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) condenser-fan motors are designed to help reduce energy consumption and provide for cooing operation down to 40°F (4.4°C) outdoor temperature. Motormaster® II low ambient kit is available as a field-installed accessory.

Thermostat Controls
Time Guard® II anti-short cycle protection circuitry. If a non-corporate thermostat without anti-short cycle protection is used the Time Guard II field-installed anti-short cycle kit is recommended.

Refrigerant system is designed to provide dependability. Liquid filter driers are used to promote clean, unrestricted operation. Each unit leaves the factory with a full refrigerant charge. Refrigerant service connections make checking operating pressures easier.
High pressure switch provides added reliability for the compressor.
Indoor and outdoor coils are computer-designed for optimum heat transfer and efficiency. The indoor coil is fabricated from aluminum tube and aluminum fins and is located inside the unit for protection against damage. The outdoor coil is internally mounted on the top tier of the unit.
Low sound ratings ensure a quiet indoor and outdoor environment with sound ratings as low as 70.7 dBA.
Easy to service cabinets provide easy 3-panel accessibility to serviceable components during maintenance and installation. The basepan with integrated drain pan provides easy ground level‘ installation with mounting pad. A nesting feature ensures a positive basepan to roof curb seal when the unit is roof mounted. A convenient 3/4-in. (19.05 mm) wide perimeter flange makes frame mounting on a rooftop easy.
Standard horizontal metal duct covers with insulation come with the unit and cover the horizontal duct openings. These can be left in place if the units are converted to downflow.
Integrated Gas Control (IGC) board provides safe and efficient control of heating and simplifies trouble-shooting through its built-in diagnostic function.
Cabinets are constructed of heavy duty, phosphated, zinc-coated prepainted steel capable of withstanding 500 hours in salt spray. Interior surfaces of the evaporator/heat exchanger compartment are insulated with cleanable semi- rigid insulation board, which keeps the conditioned air from being affected by the outdoor ambient temperature and provides improved indoor air quality. (Conforms to American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers 62.2.) The sloped drain pan minimizes standing water in the drain. An external drain is provided.

Selection Procedure (With Example)

DETERMINE COOLING AND HEATING REQUIREMENTS AT DESIGN CONDITIONS:

Given:
Required Cooling Capacity (TC) …………………………………46,000 Btuh
Sensible Heat Capacity (SHC)…………………………………….34,000 Btuh
Required Heating Capacity…………………………………………72,000 Btuh
Condenser Entering Air Temperature ………………………….95°F (35°C)
Indoor-Air Temperature ………………80°F (27°C) edb 67°F (19°C) ewb
Evaporator Air Quantity………………………………………………. 1600 CFM
External Static Pressure ………………………………………… 0.440 IN. W.C.
Electrical Characteristics ……………………………………………….. 208-1-60

SELECT UNIT BASED ON REQUIRED COOLING CAPACITY
Enter Net Cooling Capacities table at condenser entering temperature of 95°F (35°C). Unit 48 at 1600 CFM and 67°F (19°C) ewb (entering wet bulb) will provide a total capacity of 47,000 Btuh and a SHC of 35,000 Btuh. Calculate SHC correction, if required, using Note 4 under Cooling Capacities tables.

SELECT ELECTRIC HEAT
In the Gas Heating Capacities and Efficiencies table, note that the 48090 unit will provide 73,000 Btuh with an input of 89,000 Btuh.

DETERMINE FAN SPEED AND POWER REQUIREMENTS AT DESIGN CONDITIONS.
Before entering the air delivery tables, calculate the total static pressure required. From the given example, the Wet Coil Pressure Drop Table, and the Filter Pressure Drop Table:

External Static Pressure 0.30 IN. W.C
Filter 0.06 IN. W.C
Wet Coil Pressure Drop 0.07 IN. W.C
Total Static Pressure 0.43 IN. W.C

At 0.43 IN. W.C. ESP (external static pressure) and MED speed the motor delivers between 1664 CFM and 1627 cfm. Interpolation estimates 1653 CFM at .43 IN. W.C. Thus, MED delivers CFM needed.

SELECT UNIT THAT CORRESPONDS TO POWER SOURCE AVAILABLE.

    COOLING NOTES:**

  1. Ratings are net; they account for the effects of the evaporator —fan motor power and heat.

  2. Direct interpolation is permissible. Do not extrapolate.

  3. The following formulas may be used:

  4. The SHC is based on 80_F (26.6_C) edb temperature of air enteringevaporator coil. Below 80_F (26.6_C) edb, subtract (corr factor x cfm) from SHC. Above 80_F (26.6_C) edb, add (corr factor x cfm) to SHC.
    Correction Factor = 1.10 x (1 + BF) x (edb — 80).

  5. Integrated capacity is maximum (instantaneous) capacity less the effect of frost on the outdoor coil and the heat required to defrost it.

Application Data

Condensate trap — A 2-in. (50.8 mm) condensate trap must be field supplied.
Ductwork — Secure downflow discharge ductwork to roof curb. For horizontal discharge applications, attach ductwork to unit with flanges.
To convert a unit to downflow discharge — Units are equipped with factory-installed inserts in the down-flow openings. Removal of the inserts is similar to removing an electrical knock-out. Use the duct cover to seal the horizontal discharge openings in the unit. Units installed in horizontal discharge orientation do not require duct covers.
Airflow — Units are draw-thru in the cooling mode and blow-thru in the heating mode.
Maximum cooling airflow — To minimize the possibility of condensate blow- off from the evaporator, airflow through the units should not exceed 450 CFM per ton.
Minimum cooling airflow — Minimum cooling airflow is 350 cfm per ton.
Minimum ambient cooling operation temperature — All standard units have a minimum ambient operating temperature of 40_F (4_C).
With accessory low ambient temperature kit, units can operate at temperatures down to 0_F (-17_C).
Minimum temperature — Air entering the heat exchanger in heating mode must be a minimum of 50_F (10_C) continuous and/or 45_F (7_C) intermittent.

Controls

Operating Sequence
Heating Sequence of Operation (Ultra Low NOx Single and Three Phase Models)
On a call for heating, terminal W of the thermostat is energized, starting the induced-draft motor for a 30 second pre-purge at intermediate speed. When the pressure switch senses that the induced-draft motor is moving sufficient combustion air, the burner sequence begins. This function is controlled by the integrated gas unit controller (IGC).
After 30 sec of pre-purge is complete, the pressure switch checks for sufficient combustion. Then, the gas valve energizes and the system attempts to ignite with igniter being energized. The igniter energizes for 5 sec and integrated gas controller (IGC) allows system to sense flame for 2 sec at the end of 5 sec of ignition trial. On first successful ignition, system stays at the intermediate inducer speed for 10 sec and gradually ramps up to the high speed for steady-state operation. The system uses the same logic for 2nd ignition trial. If a 3rd or 4th ignition attempt is needed, the inducer speed is decreased to the low speed. On a successful light on the 3rd or 4th attempt, the inducer speed is increased to the intermediate speed for about 10 seconds and then gradually ramps up to the high speed for steady-state operation. In case the 4th attempt fails, the system will lock out for 1 hr. After 1 hr. lock out period, the system starts with normal operating sequence. Once flame is established and proven successfully, indoor (evaporator) fan motor is energized after 30 seconds. When the thermostat is satisfied and W is de-energized, the pre-mix burner will stop firing and the indoor (evaporator) fan motor shuts off after a 90 second time-off delay. Please note that the IGC has the capability to automatically decrease the indoor (evaporator) fan motor “ON” delay and increase the indoor (evaporator) fan motor “OFF” delay in the event of high duct static and/or partially-clogged filter.

Cooling Sequence of Operation
With the room thermostat SYSTEM switch in the COOL position and the FAN switch in the AUTO position, the cooling sequence of operation is as follows:

  1. When the room temperature rises to a point that is slightly above the cooling control setting of the thermostat, the thermostat completes the circuit between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G.
  2. The normally open contacts of energized contactor (C) close and complete the circuit through compressor motor (COMP) to condenser (outdoor) fan motor (OFM). Both motors start instantly.
  3. The set of normally open contacts on the interface fan board (IFB) are closed which energizes a circuit to the indoor fan motor (IFM).

NOTE: Once the compressor has started and then stopped, it should not be started again until 5 minutes have elapsed. The cooling cycle remains on until the room temperature drops to a point that is slightly below the cooling control setting of the room thermostat. At this point, the thermostat breaks the circuit between thermostat terminal R to terminals Y and G. These open circuits deenergize contactor coil C. The condenser and compressor motors stop. After a 60-sec. delay, the blower motor stops. The unit is in a standby condition, waiting for the next call for cooling from the room thermostat.
