42BHC UNIT
Features/Benefits
The 42BHC, BVC belt drive
fan coil units provide yearround comfort air
conditioning with central
station operating economy.
A variety of coil options
reduces first cost
Four, 6 or 8-row cooling coils combine
needed capacities with the most efficient heat transfer surface. For
4-pipe systems, select either of two
split-coil options. Coils consist of aluminum fins securely bonded to
OD seamless copper tubes. Each fin’s
aluminum collar ensures accurate control of the fin spacing, while completely covering the tubes to lengthen coil
life. All coils also feature manual air
vents, with automatic air vent available
as an option.

Copyright 2005 Carrier CorporationForm 42B-1PD
Fan wheels are designed to
provide low operating costs
The forward-curved, centrifugal,
double-inlet fans are statically and
dynamically balanced at the factory to
minimize transmission of vibration
to the building structure.
The belt-driven motor (single or
three phase) has a variable-pitch pulley
which adjusts at the jobsite to accommodate limited ranges of air quantities
and pressures.
All motors (single and three phase)
are UL listed, factory wired, single
speed with thermal overload protection and are continuous duty rated.
Motors are supplied with permanently
lubricated bearings, class-B insulation
and are open drip-proof. The motor
mount has an adjustable platform for
easy belt adjustment. The motor and
its mounting are independently isolated
from the cabinet and the blower. An
adjustable pitch pulley allows cfm balancing to meet system requirements.
Motor drive packages are provided
with keyed pulleys.
Complete factory assembly
minimizes on-the-jobsite costs
and problems
Compact, lightweight units are designed
for easy mounting. Knockouts designed
to accept
3
/8-in. threaded rods are
provided on the top and bottom of each
corner of the unit One-in. duct collars
on discharge and on return are furnished standard. These integral duct
collars cut installation time and labor
expense.
Durable construction means
easy-to-maintain units
The 42BHC,BVC fan coils casings are
fabricated from heavy-gage galvanized
G90 steel, reinforced for maximum
rigidity and structural strength. Removable side panels with tool-less camlock
fasteners allow easy access for servicing interior components.
One-inch matte surface, fiberglass
thermal/acoustical insulation lines the
fan coil cabinets to prevent sweating
and to muffle sound transmission.
The stainless steel, double-sloped
condensate drain pan extends under
full coil surface to cut maintenance
costs.
Slide-in return-duct collar filter
makes it possible to remove and
replace the filter without disturbing
return air ductwork.

The 42BHC and 42BVC fan coil units are designed to
offer maximum flexibility in an application, accessibility for
service, quiet operation and durability.
Factory-installed options
Automatic air vents — Automatic air vents have fiber-
washers, which allow air in the pipes to pass through,
automatically bleeding the system. The fiber washers eliminate the need to manually remove air from the system.
When wet, washers swell and seal the system.
Coils — Coils are available in a choice of two-pipe system
with 4-row cooling/heating or four-pipe system with 4, 6
or 8-row cooling and 1 or 2 row heating.
Reheat operation is standard. Preheat is available as an
option.
Controls
• Interlocking disconnect switch
• Heater power fusing
• 24 v Class 2 transformer (40 va)
• 8-pole control terminal strip
• Auto reset temperature limit switch
• Airflow safety switch
• Motor power fusing
• Motor control contactor
• 24 v condensate overflow switch
Electric heat — Total electric heat eliminates the require-
ment for a boiler. Heating and/or cooling may be available
on an individual basis throughout the year. Resistance
electric heat is available from 1.0 kW to 40.0 kW (refer to
electric heater data table for availability per unit) with
single-stage or multiple-stage, single power source.
Voltages:
• 115 v, 208 v, 230 v and 277 v single-phase 60 Hz
• 208 v, 230 v and 480 v three-phase 60 Hz
Electric heat is available with the following staging options
(3-phase staging is balanced).
• 1 to 12 kW 1 stage only — single phase
• 3 to 12 kW 1 or 2 stage only — single phase
• 1 to 40 kW 1 stage only — 3 phase
• 4 to 40 kW 1 or 2 stage only — 3 phase
• 12 to 40 kW 1, 2, or 3 stage — 3 phase
Heater coils are constructed of high-grade resistance
wire that is supported by ceramic insulators on plated steel
brackets. These heat elements are suspended directly in
front of the outlet after the blower and the coil. High limit
thermal cutouts protect the heater in the event of air
failure.
Filters — Two in. pleated filters are standard. One-in.
pleated, two 1-in. throwaway, or 2-in. MERV (minimum
efficiency reporting value) 11 filters with 2-in. pleated
pre-filter are available. The 2-in. MERV 11 filters with 2-in.
pleated pre-filter include a filter rack.
Insulation — Tuf-Skin™ II (1-in. thick) insulation is
standard. Units are available with ¾-in. closed cell, 1-in.
Tuf-Skin Rx™ edge sealed, or 1-in. foil-faced insulation.
Motors — A wide selection of standard motors provides
efficient operation in ducted applications with excellent
performance with up to 2 inches of total static pressure.
Available motor options:
• 115 v, 208 v, 230 v and 277 v single-phase 60 Hz
• 208 v, 230 v and 460 v three-phase 60 Hz
• Open drip-proof motors
• External junction box
Field-installed accessories
Mixing boxes — Mixing boxes can be used when outside
air is required for ventilation. Preassembled at the factory
and shipped separately with base rails for field installation,
mixing boxes include a linkage kit consisting of two crank
arms, 2 swivels and either a 25 in. long (for sizes 06-16) or
a 84 in. long (for sizes 20-40) rod for field installation of an
actuator.
