INTRODUCTION

This range of air cooled condensing units and heat pumps covers the 14-35kW
requirement, in axial fan only.
The range is custom designed for use with Airedale's comprehensive range of close
control units and Comfort Modular units. They can also be used in conjunction with
other cooling applications, eg air handling units. All units are leak tested and carry a
holding charge of inert gas.

CONSTRUCTION

The units are constructed of corrosion resistant pre-coated sheet steel.

Standard unit colour is Light Grey (RAL 7035).

CONDENSER

Large surface area condenser coil(s) manufactured from refrigeration quality copper
tubes, with mechanically bonded aluminium fins.

FAN

610mm diameter axial flow fan assembly(s) with low noise paddle type blades. The
external rotor motor design allows the use of a low power output single phase speed
controllable motor. The motor has inbuilt thermal overload protection, and the
assembly is supplied complete with a finger guard for protection.

COMPRESSOR

All units utilise hermetic scroll compressors. The CUS7.5/10 and 12 models are fitted
with a crankcase heater to guard against floodback and oil foaming on start up. Other
features include internal motor protection.

REFRIGERATION
Cooling Only

Each unit is fitted with a liquid and suction line shut off valve for ease of maintenance
and installation. Factory set HP/LP pressure switches are fitted, with manual reset
high pressure cut-out and automatic reset low pressure cut-out.
A large capacity filter drier is supplied loose for on site installation.

Condensing Units

REFRIGERATION
Heat Pump

Each unit is fitted with a thermostatic expansion valve and a check valve assembly to
prevent short circuiting of refrigerant, together with a large capacity suction
accumulator and a reversing valve. A factory set defrost switch facilitates defrosting of
the outside coil when in heat pump mode. All heat pump compressors are fitted with
crankcase (oil sump) heaters.
Factory set HP/LP pressure switches are fitted, with manual reset high pressure cutout and automatic reset low pressure cut-out.
A bi-directional filter drier is supplied loose for on site installation.

ELECTRICAL

Weatherproof control panels are accessed via a lockable panel and contain the
necessary contactors, sub-circuit protection and terminals .
All wiring is colour coded and numbered for identification. All units are wired in
accordance with current local and European standards.

HEAD PRESSURE
CONTROL

Head pressure is maintained by a factory fitted, pressure actuated head pressure

controller which varies the speed of the fan to provide optimum head pressure control
under varying ambient conditions.

MAINS ISOLATOR

A weatherproof mains isolator is fitted to ensure mains isolation of the electrical panel.

OPTIONS
Epoxy Coated Coils

In atmospheres where high corrosion is anticipated epoxy coated aluminium finned

coils can be supplied.

Hot Gas Bypass

(Cooling Only Units)

To achieve capacity control during low load conditions, a factory fitted hot gas bypass
valve is fitted. This will modulate down to 40% of full capacity. A stub is provided for
site connection of the hot gas line to the local expansion device.

Compressor Anti-Cycle
Timer

To prevent short cycling and subsequent additional wear on the compressor, this
option can be factory fitted to limit compressor starts to six per hour. Not required on
Airedale equipment featuring start delay timers inbuilt into the Air Handling unit.

Defrost Drain Tray

(Heat Pump Only)

An insulated and trace heated drain tray can be provided to collect condensate when
units are used in the reverse cycle/defrost mode.
