.1 Thermostatic expansion valve.

.2 Coil: staggered seamless copper tubes expanded into aluminum fins, and

insulated condensation pan.

.3 Cooling coil condensate drain pans: designed to avoid standing water, easily

cleaned or removable for cleaning. Drain connection: deep seal trap to be fitted in

the field, by contractor. Drain to roof (RTU-1).

2.7 CONTROLS

.1 Factory-wired: combustion safety controls.

.2 Economizer: factory designed to provide free cooling with fresh air, in the desired range

of outside air temp. (ie. 60 deg.F to 70 deg.F only).

.3 See the note on drawing for the sequence of operation.

2.8 CAPACITY

.1 As indicated on drawings.

Part 3 Execution




datasheet.

3.2 INSTALLATION

.1 Install roof curb as indicated. Co-ordinate the rough opening and the flashing, with the

general contractor and other trades.

.2 Manufacturer's rep to supervise start-up and commission unit.

.3 Run drain line from cooling coil condensate drain pan to discharge over roof and where

indicated .


.1 Verify accessibility, serviceability of components including motorized dampers, filters

coils, fans, motors, operators, sensors, electrical disconnects.

.2 Performance Verification:

.1 Rooftop Air Package Unit:

.1 Set outside air and return air dampers for minimum outside air.

.2 Check for smooth, rotation of supply fan impeller.

.3 Adjust impeller speed as necessary and repeat measurement of fan

capacity.

.2 Simulate minimum heating load and repeat measurements.

.6 Verify operating control strategies, including:

.1 Heat exchanger operating and high limit.

.2 Early morning warm-up cycle.

.3 Economizer cycle operation, temperature of change-over.

.7 Measure DX refrigeration system performance.

3.4 DEMONSTRATION

.1 Training: in accordance with Section- control: Training of O&M Personnel, as specified in

general requirement spec.

3.5 CLEANING

.1 Perform cleaning operations as specified and in accordance with manufacturer's

recommendations.
