No hot decks. . .no cold decks. . .
no zoning dampers. . .no energy waste!
It’s what you don’t get with Carrier’s
Zone-Mizer Modular Multizone unit
that sets it apart from all the others.
You don’t get hot decks or cold decks
because the Carrier design gives each
zone module its own cooling coil and
heating section. Each zone module
operates independently. One unit can
heat, cool, dehumidify, reheat, and
ventilate up to 12 different zones simul
taneously. All this means real energy
savings. . .there’s no wasteful duplica
tion of effort as in hot deck/cold deck
units. For still more energy savings,
Zone-Mizer provides up to 3 steps of
electric heat or gas heat with an inter
mittent pilot ignition in every zone.
Something else you don’t get. . .
zoning dampers. Since the Carrier de
sign doesn’t have hot and cold decks, it
doesn’t need zoning dampers. By elimi
nating them from the picture, you
eliminate the adjustments, service, and
operating problems that go along with
zoning dampers.
Five sizes, offering capacities to 37
tons, provide equipment flexibility and
economy. One large unit may serve
where 2 units were required before; or
units of different sizes may be mix/
matched to deliver the heating/cooling
capacity required in a specific applica
tion. And the choice of gas, elecfric or
hot water/glycol coils allows you to
select a unit that can deliver maximurn
operating economy and convenience by
taking advantage of an already available
heating plant or favorable area fuel
rates.
1 Etched solid copper circuit
panels have interchangeable plug-in
relays to minimize parts stocking Cir
cuit breakers that may be used as dis
connect switches, terminal boards to
simplify installation of accessories, a
control circuit shutoff switch and 24volt controls are all standard.
Motorized outdoor air inlet
damper — A simple rheostat adjust
ment on the unit (or on the optional re
mote control panel) sets the damper to
control the amount of outdoor air
admitted.
5 Dependable cooling — Each ser
viceable hermetic compressor system
has cylinder unloaders for capacity con
trol and electric power savings. Crank
case heaters, accumulators, filter driers
and low-ambient starting controls are
also standard.
Time Guard® electrical circuit pre
vents rapid cycling of the compressor if
occupant tampers with the thermostat.
Compressor cannot short-cycle on a
safety device, such as the low-pressure
switch, should someone forget to clean
the air filters.
Capacity control permits a wide oper
ating range. During light loads the com
pressor automatically unloads to re
duce operating costs and maintain
steady compressor operation. When
the load drops below the minimum
unloader stage, the hot gas bypass con
trol provides continuous cooling
operation.
Built-in safety controls prevent
damage to unit components. Included
are high- and low-pressure switches,
overtemperature limit switches and
overload protection for all motors.
When specifying a multizone unit,
choose the one that makes a point of
doing something about installation
problems. . .the Carrier Zone-Mizer
Modular Multizone. It’s a sturdy, onepiece unit — factory-wired, piped, and
charged. It arrives ready to be set in
place on the specially designed roof
curb. Make the power and control con
nections and that’s it. Initial adjust
ments are trouble free — you won’t
even need a factory engineer at start
up. The total package carries the UL
label or is design certified by AGA.
DG
3 Fused 115-volt convenience out
let in the control box provides power at
the unit for work lights and small power
tools.
4 Motormaster® solid-state con
denser fan speed control permits
year-round operation of refrigeration
system down to -20 F ambient.
6 Polyurethane foam sandwich
access panels are of Weather Armor
galvanneal steel. Their thermal resis
tance prevents sweating at outdoor
conditions up to 77 F dew point And
they are strong enough to support a
250-pound man.
/ Rugged extruded aluminum
frames and protective grilles provide
strength and good looks. Unit will not
sag during rigging.
Low silhouette — The cabinet has no
vents or hoods to break up the clean
appearance. The curb-mounted unit
seldom requires a parapet to hide it
from street level view.
<5Humidry® coil — This separate
cooling coil dehumidifies the outdoor air
before it is mixed with the return air to
prevent high indoor relative humidities
in humid weather and during partial
load operation.
‘ 5 Large filter area — Over 41 square
feet of standard filter area is factory
supplied. Filter tracks will accept
one-in. or 2-in., high- or low-velocity,
permanent or throwaway, standard or
high-efficiency filters.
10Electric heater section (SOME)
— Each zone module has its own 2- or
3-stage electric heater assembly or hot
water/glycol heating coil. Electric
heaters have 24-volt relays and 115-volt
contactors. Each heating element has
circuit breakers and automatic thermal
reset. Each leg has its own heat limiter
(fusible link).
Each hot water/glycol heating coil
has its own solenoid operated shutoff
valve and balancing valve. All heating
coils are prepiped to supply and return
manifolds which also include a bleed
valve.
Gas heating (48MA) — Each zone
module has stainless steel burners,
Porcelon™ heat exchangers and its
own redundant gas valve. Natural gas
units also have a regulator for each
gas valve. Intermittent pilot ignition
and forced draft combustion are
standard on all units.
Zonc-Mizer^” Modular Multizone concept.
How it works. . .
Outdoor air enterirvg the unit thru the
side louvers is filtered and then cooled
and dehumidified by the Humidry®
cooling coil when mechanical cooling is
operating. Return air entering the unit
from below is mixed with this condi
tioned air The mixture is then filtered.
After passing thru the indoor air fans,
the air is discharged into the individual
zone modules. The air passing thru
each zone module is either cooled or
heated in response to a signal from the
thermostat controlling that module.
This treated air then continues to the
individual zone duct systems, thus pro
viding a constant air pattern and volume
on each cooling coil and heating
assembly
Each zone module cooling coil has its
own solenoid valve to admit refrigerant
when needed. When 2 or more mod
ules are grouped for a larger zone re
t
quirement, 2-stage cooling can be
provided. . .and controlled by one
simple 24-volt mercury bulb thermostat
This condenser end view of unit (034
and 040) shows the 3 outdoor air fans
and the side condenser air inlet grilles.
The 2 end panels may be easily removed
for control box and compressor
accessibility.

COOLING HEATING TO INTERIOR ZONES
and why it’s best.
Low operating costs
On partial load, the Carrier compres
sors unload cylinders to match com
pressor output to cooling needed with
up to 6 steps of reduction. To maintain
balanced operation, the hot gas bypass
system diverts hot refrigerant to the
outdoor air cooling coil as needed.
There is no mixing of warm and cold
airstreams in the modular design. Just
that amount of energy required to heat
or cool a given zone is used — and no
more.
Heating is available 3 ways. . .
Electric heating, provided by 2- or
3-stage electric heaters in each module,
gives up to 36 steps of capacity, again
using the minimum amount of energy.
Hot water/glycol heat may be speci
fied to utilize an already available
heating plant.
Gas heating models utilize inter
mittent pilot ignition in each module
designed to consume a minimum
amount of energy.
Low»temperature operating capa
bility. . .You can use the economizer
cycle with outdoor air for “free cooling,”
as with competing units. However, with
Carrier’s head pressure controlled re
frigeration system, you can often save
money by using refrigeration to cool
the space instead. So-called “free
cooling” is expensive if a large quantity
of cool outdoor air must be heated for
the zones which do not require cooling.
The Carrier refrigeration system can
operate at outdoor temperatures down
to -20 F. The Carrier modular design,
therefore, is not dependent on an
economizer cycle for cooling at low
outdoor temperatures.
Superior humidity control
One of the major concerns in multizone
applications has been the control of
humidity, especially in schools where
moisture comes from large groups of
people as well as from outdoor venti
lation air. The basic Carrier design elim
inates this problem. During mechanical
cooling, all outdoor air that passes thru
the Humidry® outdoor air cooling coil
is dehumidified whenever any zones
require cooling. The air is then further
dehumidified when it passes thru the
zone module cooling coil.
If further dehumidification should be
required for any or all zones, reheat can
be added easily. A humidistat, installed
in the conditioned space to override the
thermostat, energizes the cooling coil
for that zone.
Ease of service
The Zone-Mizer™ Modular Multizone
uses simple, familiar, commercial, ther
mostatic controls for each module,
eliminating the need for factory experts
and complex start-up and service
procedures. The printed control circuit
board has clearly marked terminals for
easy connection of standard 2-stage
heating and one- or 2-stage cooling
thermostats, which are located in
each zone.
Identical relays plug into the circuit
board. Modules can be easily combined
to serve larger spaces by placing
factory-supplied jumper wires on the
premarked terminals.
The entire control system is neatly
organized in one location. For excellent
accessibility, all circuit breakers project
outside so that any motor can be dis
connected without opening the highvoltage box. This often eliminates
the need for separate field-supplied
disconnects.
The handsome Carrier mercury bulb
type thermostats control heating and
cooling modes. They are available with
a locking device which requires an Allen
wrench for access, or you can allow
the zone occupant to set his own
temperature.
Access to the Zone-Mizer Modular
Multizone is thru removable side panels
held in place with simple fasteners. Top
panels may also be removed for com
plete access to unit interior.
In short, the local installing dealer or
contractor can handle all service and
will have available, from the nearest
Carrier distributor, any parts required.

Selection procedure (with example)
Refer to Carrier’s Engineering Guide for Multizone Unit
Systems and contents of this booklet for typical multizone
design considerations. Using the Engineering Guide, cal
culate cooling and heating load estimates for the areas to
be served by the multizone unit. Divide each area into zones
based on the peak load and control requirements within
the area.
The resulting loads calculated for a typical building are;
Selection:
Base the multizone unit selection on cooling load require
ments. Enter the 48MA/50ME rating tables in the Per
formance Data Section and select the unit that meets or
exceeds the grand total load at the specified conditions.
(Interpolation may be necessary to obtain unit rating at
certain conditions; extrapolations are not advised. Contact
Carrier Application Engineering tor performance data at
points beyond the range of published tables.) Tbe 024 size
unit does not have sufficient capacity to meet load
requirements at any cfm. The 028 size exceeds load require
ments; however, it is the smallest unit that meets specifica
tions. Thus, the 48MA/50ME028at: 9000 cfm; 1000 cfm OA;
95 F/75 OA temperature; and 75 F/50% Rh room design has
a Total Capacity (TC) of 282,000 Btuh, Sensible Heat Ca
pacity (SHC) of 219,000 Btuh and a compressor kw of 27.5.
Calculate the Room Total Capacity (RTC) and the Room
Sensible Heat Capacity (RSHC) by deducting the outdoor
air load from the unit capacity. The outdoor air load with
respect to room conditions is:
The 48MA/50ME size meets or exceeds the total and zone
load requirements at the specified conditions. The excess
RTC decreases space average relative humidity slightly
below the room design of 50%. By increasing air quantity
above 9000 cfm, this excess latent capacity can be
converted to additional sensible capacity if desired.
Since the modular multizone is a constant volume
machine, proportion the selected supply cfm per zone to
satisfy each zone’s peak load condition.
Divide room sensible capacities (RSC) equally among
the modules if an equal cfm is going to each. In this
example, the 48MA/50ME028 has 10 modules and the
nominal cfm is 900 cfm per module and equal cfm’s are not
going to each.
Vary the cfm to each zone (with field-supplied manual
dampers in zone ducts) to match different zone require
ments. Since the original rating was based on 9000 cfm
supply air, all variations must total 9000 cfm. When the cfm
is changed (by some percent) from the nominal in a specific
module, use the room capacity multipliers in the Zone
Cooling Capacity Multiplier Table to correct room TC and
room SHC for that zone. Capacity versus cfm changes for
the example is given in the Capacity vs Cfm Change
table.
By analyzing each zone’s ratio of deviation from equal
sensible heat allocation, determine the proper cfm change.
In the example, if building room SHC is 197,200 Btuh and
10 zones are used, each zone’s normal room SHC is
19,720 Btuh. But if Zone 3 has 22,505 Btuh room SHC, then
by ratio of 22,505: 19,720 or 1.14, the cfm change is +20%.
Correspondingly, if Zone 1 had 16,935 Btuh room SHC,
the cfm change is -20%.
In applications where the zone selection is not an incre
ment of the number of unit modules (i.e. one zone requiring
500 cfm in a 48MA/50ME028 with 10,000 cfm), refer to
Module Cfm Limits (page 36), Application Data section for
details on using cfm’s below 600 cfm/module.

Determine Heating Capacity:
The specified requirement for electric heat dictates the
selection of a 50ME028 unit with a kw option that meets
or exceeds the heating load.
The Electric Resistance Heater Data table (page 30) indi
cates that the 028 unit has heating capacity options of 66,
88 and 132 kw. The 132 kw option is selected as it provides
adequate heat for this application. The kw/zone and
number of heat stages available are:
Stages of heat are controlled individually in the small zones
or collectively in large zones to provide flexible and
continuous control for each zone.
Determine fan requirements
For 48MA/50ME operation, cfm range per module is 600
to 1200 cfm. Lower flow volumes are permissible if only
first stage of heat is operated. Volumes above 1200 cfm
may cause water blow-off during cooling.
Since the various unit zones operate at different air
quantities and different external resistances, identify the
zone having the highest static pressure requirement for
the supply duct and supply outlet.
Usually, the longest duct run to the last outlet, with the
greatest number of offsets and elbows, has the greatest
static pressure requirement. Assume a duct friction analysis
has been made and the cfm and static pressure are:
Zone No.CFM
The total unit (02810or 030) cfm is 9000. Zones 4 and 7 have
3 and 2 modules, respectively, “ganged” together to comply
with the limitation of 1200 cfm per module
The cfm for Zone 2 is 1080 with an ESP of 0.8 in. wg. This
module appears to possess the highest friction loss. There
fore, the main fan static pressure is established at 8 in. wg
ESP.
Enter Fan Performance table at 9000 cfm, .8 in. wg ESP
and read: 1020 rpm and 5.4 bhp. The 028 indoor fan motor
data shows the standard 10 hp motor with a maximum bhp
of 11.5. Therefore, 5 4 bhp for this selection is satisfactory.
In the Physical Data table, 2 pulley selections are available
with the 028: Pulley A, shipped mounted; Pulley B, shipped
in the blower compartment. Pulley A has a fixed pitch and
at 1095 rpm is close enough to the required cfm and should
be used. Pulley B at 1230 rpm allows selection of the unit
at higher cfm’s and static pressures.
