expenses
Condensate drain pan is heavy gage
galvanized steel with closed-cell, fire retardant foam insulation. Units come
standard with Tuf-Skin™ II insulation
for energy savings, sound absorption
and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) preservation. Water never touches the pan, so
corrosion is minimized and long,
trouble-free life is assured.
Efficient operation
All units use permanent split capacitor
motors for minimum electrical consumption. Blower wheels are
centrifugal-type, forward curved,
double width, and double inlet sized
for maximum efficiency.
Quiet, dependable
performance
All units are built to operate unobtrusively with quiet motors and fans. In ad-
1
dition,
/2-in. thick sound-absorbing,
multi-density, matt faced, neoprenecoated fiberglass insulation is used to
line the cabinet.
42C series horizontal, 42V
series vertical units
Carrier room fan-coil units operate at
exceptionally low sound levels. A generous amount of insulation absorbs
operating sound and rugged, rigid construction ensures vibration free operation at all fan speeds.
Economical, three-speed fans deliver
just the right amount of conditioned air
for your comfort needs at any load,
and each unit can be shut off when not
in use. Permanent split capacitor motors deliver peak operating efficiency.
By choosing Carrier units, you can
match your application with a wide
range of custom-designed options and
accessories, including electric heat. Filters are cleanable or throwaway type.
Motor bearings are heavy-duty
sleeve type, with oversize oil reservoirs
to assure long bearing life. All coils are
factory leak-tested at 350 psig minimum air pressure.
Carrier room fan-coil units provide
unsurpassed year-round comfort, with
heating and cooling performance
certified in compliance with ARI (Air
Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute)
440-98.
42D ducted units
A drip lip (removable drain pan extension) is provided for field installation on
ceiling models 42DA,DC,DE and DF
when a motorized valve package is ordered. The drip lip is also available as
an accessory for use with other
controls.
Motor/blower assembly can be easily removed from the unit for ease of
service. Removing this assembly provides clear access to the entering air
face of the coil, making coil cleaning a
relatively simple matter. Removable
panels make access to components
and connections easy.
42S stacked units
Each Carrier stack unit comes factoryequipped with insulated supply, return,
and drain risers. The design of the 42S
units allow them to be set one on top
of the other in a vertical column rising
floor to floor up the building. Each
riser has a 3-in. belled section at
the top, so the riser piping can be
connected by only one sweat connection per riser. Field-installed couplings
or internal pipe connections are not
needed.
Each stack unit is factory pre-wired
with all control, motor, and optional
electric heat wiring conveniently terminating in a single, accessible junction
box. Each stack unit requires only one
field power connection.
Field-mounted accessories, such as
the 3-speed switch/thermostat package for furred-in units, are equipped
with a pre-wired quick disconnect plug
for easy installation.
The riser size for the stack units can
be specified to match building requirements so that cutting, sorting, and handling of the risers is not necessary. All
units arrive tagged as specified by the
customer for efficient delivery to the
correct building location.
Units can be loaded onto delivery
trucks so that they can be off-loaded in
the proper installation sequence.

double-throw (SPDT) thermostat has snap action contacts.
The standard temperature range is 60 to 90 F.
Automatic changeover (Summer-Winter switch) —
The automatic-changeover thermostat is a single-pole
double-throw (SPDT) thermal switch in a moistureproof
and dust-proof enclosure. Thermostat mechanism and lead
ends are hermetically sealed in a polypropylene enclosure
with epoxy resin. Device clamps on coil supply pipe with
end snap-on clip.
The set point temperatures are factory set. When water
temperature rises above 80 F (approximately), the thermostat switches to the winter cycle. When water temperature
drops below approximately 70 F, the thermostat switches
to the summer cycle. Switch reset is automatic.
Fan coil control relay board — The fan coil relay board
is used in conjunction with the Debonair thermostat or a
CCN fan coil controller to regulate a single-speed or multispeed fan. The fan coil relay board can also be used to connect the fan coil controller to a line voltage valve actuator.
The fan coil relay board is factory shipped as a PC board
with four

Application data (cont)
System piping
The following diagrams show some common methods
used to pipe the 42S series units. Only the 2-pipe systems
are shown; however, the methods would be the same for
4-pipe systems.
System 1, the “direct return” system, is the most common.
It is economical to install since it supplies and returns the
water for a riser column from the same location, at the top
or the bottom of a building. This type of riser arrangement
does require more attention to individual unit water flow
balancing. The risers are normally capped at the end as
shown in the diagrams.
System 2, the “reverse return” system, is used to minimize
the requirement for individual unit balancing. This system
is usually referred to as the self-balancing system. The
arrangement of the risers allows the water flow for each
unit in a column to be equalized. In the reverse return system both the supply and return mains are located at the
top or the bottom of a building requiring an additional
return riser to be furnished in the units.
System 3, the “common reverse return” system, typically
has the supply and return mains located remotely from
each other — such as one at the top and one at the bottom
of a building. This eliminates the need for a reverse return
riser in the units.
SYSTEM 2 — REVERSE RETURN
SYSTEM 3 — COMMON REVERSE RETURN
SYSTEM 1 — DIRECT RETURN

Risers
Riser diameter is an important consideration in the design
of stack series systems. Standard units can accommodate
3
/4-in. to 21/2-in. riser sizes in 2-pipe systems. For other
applications, such as reverse return risers or 4-pipe systems, it may be necessary to accommodate the additional
risers.
Riser size is based on the water flow needed for a given
tier of units. Unit risers are sized according to the diameter
and length requirements as specified by the customer. To
determine riser size, water velocity should be limited to 5 to
8 ft/second. Thus, if 10 units are to be stacked vertically
with each unit requiring 3 gpm, the maximum flow in the
risers is 30 gpm. Through 1
of 7.5 ft/second. The maximum flow rate of 30 gpm
occurs only at the supply and return points. As the water
moves upward, the flow in the supply riser is reduced by
3 gpm per floor, so that after 3 floors, the total flow is
21 gpm and riser size can be reduced to one inch. See
chart on page 103.
1
/4 in. risers, this is a velocity
Condensate drains are available in sizes down to one
inch for greater first cost economy.
Riser size-reducers are factory installed and caps are pro-
vided at customer request.
For risers of over 115 in. length, filler pieces can be fur-
nished for field installation.
Typical arrangements
Typical arrangement applications for each model type are
shown below. The fan coil units feature almost an unlimited number of arrangements to meet the needs of new
construction, renovation, or reconstruction. Consult the
factory for the arrangement (standard or special) to meet
your particular need.

PIPING COMPONENTS
SYMBOL/SKETCHDESCRIPTION
MANUAL AIR VENT: Threaded brass needle
valve with screwdriver slot for adjustment.
Application — Body brazed into high point of
heating and cooling coils for bleeding air from
coil. Standard item on all hydronic coils (not
used on steam or DX coils). Should not be
used in lieu of main system air vents.
AUTOMATIC AIR VENT: Nickel plated brass
valve, fiber-disc type, with positive shut-off
ballcheck and quick vent feature via knurled

There are limitations on physical size of pneumatic valves,
quantity and type of matching components, and required
control interface. See Symbols and Placement of Valves
diagram.
Consult factory before ordering any special valve pack-
age components that are not covered in this book.
SYMBOLS AND PLACEMENT OF VALVES
Valve packages are shipped with the units or in unit cartons. Valve packages include belled ends for field soldering
to coil connections.
All factory-furnished cooling valve packages are
arranged to position as much of the package as possible
over an auxiliary drain pan or drip lip. This helps minimize
field piping insulation requirements.
Coil Connections (Positions A & B) — When isolation valve only is added to supply or return line, the isolation valve will be factory
brazed to the coil stub-out. Addition of any other component or connection to the supply or return line will change the respective coil
connection(s).
Service Fittings (Positions C & D) — Optional fittings for attaching pressure/temperature sensing devices to obtain pressure drop or temperature differential across coil. Used with ball valve or balance valve where extremely accurate water flow balancing is required.
Water Flow Balancing (Positions E, F, & H) — Only one device per total valve package to be used for balancing water flow through the
coil. When isolation valve (ball valve or ball valve with memory stop at position H) is used for water flow balancing, do not specify additional
balancing device at position E or F. When balancing device is specified at position E or F, isolation valve does not require balancing feature
at position H (with a 3-way motorized valve, a bypass balancing valve may be specified in the bypass line to permit equal flow balancing).
Strainer (Position G) — Does not include blow down fitting and should not be used in lieu of main piping strainers.
Isolation Valves (Positions H & J) — Normally requires one each on supply and return line (see exception under circuit setter). When
position H is used for balancing (ball valve or ball valve with memory stop), check specifications for service valve requirements.

Electric heaters are available for installation on Carrier fan
coil units in the following applications.
Total electric heat — This system provides complete
heating during the heating season; no boiler is required.
Heating and cooling are now available on an individual
basis throughout the year with a 2-pipe system.
Chilled water is used for cooling and the electric heater is
used for heating. Individual room controls can be supplied
for either manual or automatic changeover.
Auxiliary electric heat — This system is used for heating between seasons or during the cooling season when
chilled water is being circulated. Individual room controls
are supplied to provide electric heat only when chilled
water is being circulated through the system. Water flow
through the unit is shut off when the heater is turned on.
During the winter heating season, heating is provided by
hot water circulated through the system. A changeover
device locks out the electric heat when the hot water is
circulated.
Heater construction
Strip heaters are used with Model 42C ceiling units,
Model 42D ducted units and Model 42S stack units.
These heaters consist of coils of the highest grade resistance wire, insulated by ceramic insulators in aluminized
brackets.
All heaters except those used in 42S stack units are positioned on the incoming (preheat) side of the unit coil. On
42S stack units, the strip heater is located in the fan discharge on the leaving side of the coil.
Sheath heaters are used with Model 42V vertical units.
These heaters consist of the highest grade resistance wire,
centered in a
The wire is insulated from the sheath by magnesium oxide
powder packed around it. To increase the heater surface
exposed to air, a 1
wound around the sheath in a continuous spiral that makes
5 turns per lineal inch. Sheath and fin are permanently
bonded together by copper brazing.
The heaters are positioned on the leaving (reheat) side of
the unit coil. On special units with high efficiency motors, a
strip heater will be installed in the fan discharge on the
incoming (preheat) side of the unit coil.

1. Load voltage may be 120, 208, 240 or 277 volts. For
unit size and kW limitations, refer to the specific unit
catalogs.
2. All heaters are single stage and single phase.
3. Unless a single power-source option is selected, the
electric heat units require 2 separate power sources.
With the single power-source option, only one line circuit need be brought into the unit. Fuse protection is
added to the motor/control circuit to protect these
components. This is separate from the field-furnished
total unit overcurrent protection.
