Roof-top units - RTE series-
The RTE rooftop units are identified
by means of a product identification
code created by the selection program
AERMECPro. A product identification
code example is the following:
Units identification and description
RTE240F001600000000000
For further information, please refer to
the selection program.
Unit description
The “ ROOFTOP “ units of the RTE series
have been designed taking into account
the precise requirements in the system
necessary for treating large air volumes,
typical of supermarket and hypermarket
buildings and environments for shows, fairs
and industrial uses in general.
These units are usually situated on the roofs
or anyway in the open air, offering these
main advantages:
• because they are installed on the roof
they do not take operational space away
from the room;
• they offer the maximum modularity,
therefore making it possible to differentiate
the treatments in different volumes with
different destination characteristics (food,
clothing department etc.);
• they offer high levels of environmental
comfort by controlling the exchange,
filtering and humidification or
dehumidification of the air in addition to
the temperature;
• the environmental noise level is kept low due
to the careful soundproofing of the machine.
Components
The RTE Rooftop units are all available in
the cooling only version (RTE F) or in heat
pump version (RTE H).
RTE units are equipped with an adhesive label that summarizes the main technical data such as model, heat output
and cooling capacity, rated capacity of
the air in recovery and extraction and
electrical data.
For any future reference and for all
communication with the AERMEC SpA
must indicate the number.
In addition, each piece is accompanied
by targhettta with weight and other
information traceability.
The rating plate and the plate of the
weight of the package are applied outside the main rooftop, on the side panel
near the electrical panel inspected the
same.
The plate of the weight of each package
is applied externally on the panel additional inspections, or packaging.
The rooftop RTE units come complete with :
• condenser unit with 6 pole axial fans and
scroll compressors;
• direct expansion coil with aluminium
condensate drain pan;
• radial supply fan with forward-curved
blades with belt and variable pulley
transmission;
• microprocessor control complete with
sensors and actuators;
• electrical panel;
Sizes
The units in the RTE series are available in
four sizes (240-260-300-350 -400) each of
which with the possibility of standard, low
noise L (excluding 350 and 400) or high
temperature operation mode A (excluding
350 and 400). By aptly combining the
several available options, it is possible to
configure each model in such a way as to
meet the specific of system requirements.
The RTE Series rooftop units are identified
by a commercial speaker symbol generated directly from the breeding program. An
example of an acronym speaker is as follows:
RTE260FA0A000PD00P00000
For more information, refer to the selection
program.
The table in fig.01 shows how to make up
the commercial code with twenty-four fields,
representative of the available options.

section and exhaust fan. The cross-flow
heat recuperator allows the sensible heat
recovery from the exhaust air with a winter
operation efficiency over 50%. The two air
flows (supply and exhaust) are completely
separated and therefore all types of
contamination are avoided. (fig.13)G72, G92, G150: rooftop with condensation
heat generator with rated heating capacity
of 72 kW
condensation generator is fed by methane
gas. The air is heated through the passage
over the surface of the combustion chamber
and heat exchanger pipes. The combustion
chamber is fully made of AISI 430 stainless
steel, while the surfaces in contact with
the condensate (exchanger, fume hood)
are made of AISI 304 L stainless steel to
give outstanding resistance to corrosion. It
is provided with an automatic reset safety
thermostat (fig.6).

Regulation system
• the program is written on the
EPROM while the set-points set are
memorised permanently on EPROM,
so that they can be kept even when
there is no power (without the need
for a support battery).
It is possible to connect the basic
card with the pLAN local network
(pCO Local Area Network) consisting
of different basic cards and terminals.
Each board can exchange data
(any parameter, whether digital or
analogue, depending on the program)
at high transmission speeds. Up to
sixteen units can be connected
(between cards and terminals) for a
maximum of 5 rooftops in such a way
as to share the information quickly.
The connection through the serial
supervision/remote assistance line in
accordance with the RS485 standard,
is made through optional serial cards
and MODBUS communication
protocol.

The following diagrams make it possible
to obtain the corrective coefficient to be
used for the rooftop units in the cooling
function. Alongside each curve, the
temperature of the outside air it refers
to is reported.
The total cooling capacity, the sensible
cooling capacity and the electrical
input power in conditions other than
the nominal ones are obtained by
multiplying the nominal values in the
technical data table for the respective
correction coefficients (Cft, Cfs e Cpa).
Example: if RTE 240F on the technical
data sheet capacities with nominal air

Performance tables for water heating coils
The RTE units may be supplied with a
two-row hot water coil (accessory)
provided with modulating three-way
valve (actuator included).
The first diagram shows the corrective
coefficients to be applied to the nominal
performances of the hot water coil given
on pg. 13.
Example :
Calculate the performances of the hot
water coil installed on a RTE 240 at the
following design conditions:
· Heating water inlet temperature: 70 °C;
· Room temperature: 22 °C;
· Water thermal drop
The coil heating capacity, with air at 20°C
and water 80/70°C, is 140 kW according
with the technical data sheet at pg. 13.
The temperature difference between
the water inlet and the air is DAW=7022=48°C.
The diagram gives the corrective
coefficient Cfpt=0.63. Hence the coil
heating capacity at the given condition is
140x0.63=88.2 kW.

Packaging
The RTE series units are usually
supplied without packaging with the
exception of high-efficiency filtering
cells and assembly accessories, which
are supplied in cardboard boxes and
have to be installed by the customer.
Upon request, the units can be supplied
packaged with polyethylene fim on
pallets + polyethylene film, in a cage or
in a crate.
Handling
Before moving the unit make sure that it
has not been damaged during transport
and make sure that the equipment
to be used for lifting and positioning
is adequate in terms of capacity and
complies with security regulations
currently in force.
Particular attention must be paid to all the
loading, unloading and lifting operations
so as to avoid dangerous situations for
people and damage to the structure and
operational parts of the machine.
The holes in the base to be used for
lifting are indicated with yellow stickers
showing a black arrow.
The iron poles, which must be suitably
sized, must protrude from the base unit
for a sufficient length so that the lifting
straps can be tightened upwards without
encountering any interference.
Make sure that the belts have been
approved for supporting the weight of the
unit, make sure they are properly fixed to
the upper frame and to the lifting poles.
The safety closures must guarantee that the
belts do not come out of their seats.
The hooking point of the lifting frame must
be on the vertical of the centre of gravity.
The positioning must be done using two
transpallet, one for each side of the section,
preferably acting on the longer sides.
Alternatively the positioning can be done
by sliding the centre on the tubes that act as
rollers.
During lifting operations we recommend to
mount the shock absorbers (VT), fixing the
holes on the base according to the assembly
accompanying the accessories (VT).
Under no circumstance should anybody or
anything stay, even for short periods, under the
unit.
The machines in the RTE series must be
installed externally in an area suitable
for this purpose, which has the required
technical spaces. This is essential to
allow ordinary and extraordinary
maintenance and for functioning reasons
3.000
Installing and using the unit
as the device must gather air from
the outside along the perimeter sides
and expel it upwards. For the proper
functioning of the unit, this must be
installed on a perfectly flat surface. Make
sure that the resting surface is able to
bear the weight of the machine.
Positioning
If the unit is situated in particularly windy
environments it is necessary to install
a wind break barrier to avoid unstable
operation of the DCPR device.
Minimum space
requirements
CAUTION:
The equipment must be installed in such
a way as to make maintenance and/or
repair operations possible, see fig.05.
The equipment warranty does not cover
costs due to motor ladders, scaffolding
or other raising systems made necessary
to carry out the operations covered by
the guarantee.
Before commissioning
the unit
Before starting up the unit you should
check that :
– the electrical connections have been
made properly;
– the line voltage is within the admitted
tolerance limits (±10% of the rated value);
WARNING:
At least twenty-four hours before the
unit start-up (or at the end of each
period of prolonged stop) power up
3.000
the compressors crankcase heaters
to evaporate any refrigerant in
the oil. Without this precaution the
compressors could be seriously
damaged and the warranty could cease
to be valid.
Unit start-up
Commissioning the units must be
previously agreed on the basis of the
timing for the realisation of the installation
Before the intervention of AERMEC
After Sales Service all the works
(aeraulic, hydraulic and electrical
connections, loading and blowing out
of air from the system) will have to be
completed.
For the setting of all the operating
parameters and for detailed information
regarding the operation of the machine
and check list, refer to the user's
manual.
System charge/discharge
During the winter period, only in the
case of water coils, if the system is left
still, the water in the heat exchanger
might freeze and damage the heat
exchanger irreparably.
To avoid the risk of freezing, there are
three possible solutions:
1) The complete drainage of the water
from the heat exchanger at the end
of the season and refilling at the
beginning of the next season.
2) Operation with glycol water with
a glycole percentage chosen on
the basis of the minimum external
temperature expected. In this case,
due account must be taken of the
heating coil performance and pump
scaling.
3) Keeping the temperate of the water above
5°C.

Norms covering the use
of R410A gas
Rooftop units functioning with refrigerating
R410A gas require particular attention at
the assembly stage and during maintenance
so as to keep them from malfunctioning.
It is therefore necessary:
- To avoid refilling with oil different
from the one specified which is
already pre-charge in the compressor.
- If there are gas leaks implying that
the Rooftop units are even partially
empty, do not refill the refrigerant
partly but completely drain the
machine and after evacuating it
completely fill it again with the
amount required.
- In the event of replacement of one of
the refrigerating circuit parts, do not
leave the circuit open for more than
15 minutes.
- In particular, in the case of
substitution of the compressor,
complete the installation within
the above mentioned times after
removing the rubber caps.
- Do not power up the compressor if it
is empty; do not compress air inside
the compressor.
- If you use R410A gas tanks, please pay
attention to the maximum number of
withdrawals you can make in order to
ensure the correct ratio of the components
in the R410A gas mixture.
Hydraulic connections
Condensate drain pain
The condensate drain pan has a
threaded drain pipe 1” G UNI 338.
The drainage system should feature an
adequately sized siphon to:
• allow the free drainage of the
condensate;
• prevent the undesired inlet of air in
the vacuum systems;
• prevent the undesired air leakage
from pressure systems;
• prevent bad smells or insects from
infiltrating.
Here below you will find rules to adopt
for the dimensioning and creation of
syphons in the case of pressure and
vacuum tanks fig.06.
For this system, use CE-approved and
certified components only.
G072, G105, G150 modules are supplied with:
- a double gas valve;
- a gas filter and stabiliser;
already installed.
All components are assembled into the
burner housing.
To complete installation in compliance
with the law, the following components
have to be installed:
where P is the internal pressure expressed
as mm of a water column (approx. 1 mm
= 9.81 Pa), This pressure is indicated in the
relevant label near the condensate drainage
point.
The syphon must be equipped
with a plug for the cleaning at the
bottom or must anyway allow for fast
dismantling for cleaning purposes.
H3
H1
H2
fig.06
- vibration damping joint;
- gas cock.
We recommend installing a gas filter
with a high flow rate and no pressure stabiliser. In fact, the standard filter installed
before the gas valve has a limited surface.
To assure efficient maintenance, use a
gasket and a swivel joint to connect the
G072, G92, G150 module.
Do not directly use threaded joints on
gas fitting.
The law allows a maximum pressure

For the installation of the ducts it is
recommended to:
• install adequate brackets to support
the ducts;
• connect the supply and exhaust vents
to the ducts by means of antivibration
canvases. The antivibration canvas
has to be connected to the unit
screwing it to the flange or damper,
if present. If the flange or the damper
are not present, the antivibration
canvas has to be screwed to the frame
of the unit using drive screws;
• put in place an electrical earthing
cable that acts as a bridge over the
shock absorber joint to guarantee
electrical equipotentiality between
the duct and the unit;
• foresee, before bends, branches,
curves, angles etc., the supply duct
with a straight stretch at least 2.5
times longer than the smaller side of
the duct (A) to avoid a fall off in the
performance of the fan;
• avoid the ducts from having stretch
inclinations that diverge more 7°C.
The progress of the first curve must
