Configuration Air-cooled. Unit used with an air-cooled condenser. Refrigerant lines must be run between the indoor unit and the condenser. Air cooled units require low maintenance and have low operating costs. Configurations are:  Air-cooled with remote outdoor condenser.  Air-cooled with indoor floor mounted condenser. Water-cooled. Unit used with a cooling tower or other source of water. Field refrigeration piping is eliminated by a factory sealed and tested system. Water piping to and

Blower assembly The AFX series includes multiple, centrifugal blower assemblies that have been engineered for quiet, reliable operation. Lower blower speeds reduce noise and extend belt and bearing life to 200,000L hours. Permanently 10 lubricated bearings, a single-belt variable pitch drive, and an adjustable motor base all ensure dependable operation. In addition, the air return patterns evenly distribute air across the cooling coil. Electrical panel The electrical panel contains the con

Each refrigeration system includes:  Thermal expansion valve with equalizer  High and low pressure switches  Sight glass with moisture indicator  Filter drier  Liquid line solenoid valve Cooling coil The AFX utilizes dual distributors on one circuit of the refrigeration system. During dehumidification the smaller distributor is turned off effectively reducing the active circuits of the evaporator coil. During this mode of operation the evaporating temperature is decreased, resulting i

Emergency drain Systems are provided with two drain pans. The primary stainless steel condensate drain pan lies directly under the cooling coil. A secondary pan emergency drain pan provides additional protection by catching any water before it reaches the subfloor and becomes a problem. An optional factory supplied water detector in the emergency drain pan functions as your early warning system in the event of any water problems. A threaded flange is factory supplied for secondary drain co

Reheat Hot water or steam reheat. An on/off solenoid valve for steam reheat, or a modulating valve for hot water reheat maintains the dry bulb temperature when the system is in dehumidification and heat mode. Completely factory pre-piped, the system includes a copper tube, aluminum-fin reheat coil, solenoid valve, float, and thermostatic and steam trap for steam reheat only. Hot gas reheat. The copper tube, aluminum fin hot gas reheat coil maintains the leaving dry bulb temperature when the
