When used as a desuperheater, the inlet and outlet connections will be the same and based on Hot Gas sizing.
The selection of an air cooled condenser is based on the
heat rejection capacity at the condenser rather than net
refrigeration effect at the evaporator because the refrigerant gas absorbs additional energy in the compressor. This
additional energy, the heat of compression, varies appreciably with the operating conditions of the system and
with compressor design, whether open or suction cooled
hermetic type.
Some compressor manufacturers publish heat rejection
gures as part of their compressor ratings. Since heat rejection varies with compressor design, it is recommended
that the compressor manufacturer’s data be used whenever available in selecting an air cooled condenser.
If the compressor manufacturer does not publish heat
rejection ratings, factors from Table Nos. 4 and 5 may be
used to estimate total heat rejection-THR.
For systems outside the normal limits of single stage
compressor application, (such as compound or cascade
refrigeration systems) the following formulas may be used
to arrive at the heat rejection requirements for selection of
the condenser:

factor to estimate the required condenser capacity .
(3) Since R-404A is specied, select the proper con-
denser from Capacity Data tables (page 3) based on
the specied difference between condensing refrigerant and the ambient air (T.D.).
SELECTION:
Using the heat rejection factor from Table No. 4 above, the
required condenser capacity is:
1.28 x 310,000 = 396,800 Btuh
From Capacity Data tables (page 3) for the specied T.D.
of 15°F the proper selection is the Model AB 150 with a
capacity of 421,650 Btuh. In this instance the condenser is
slightly oversized and the condenser will balance the compressor heat rejection at less than the maximum condensing temperature of 110°F.

APPLICATIONS
Multi circuit condenser coils are available for applications
where more than one compressor is used, either on the
same system or separate systems.
Multi circuit condensers are factory circuited to meet the
specied capacities.
The fan on a multi circuited unit should remain operative
as long as a condensing requirement exists on any circuit
of the coil.
SELECTION EXAMPLE
GIVEN:
Six hermetic compressors with capacities and evaporator
temperatures (tabulated below).
Refrigerant: R-404A
Ambient Air T emperature 90°F .
Maximum Condensing Temp.: 110°F.
PROCEDURE:
1. Tabulate the compressor capacities, evaporator
temperatures and heat rejection factors for each
compressor. (See Sample Tabulation, below.)
2. Determine the required heat rejection capacity for
each compressor.
3. Total the sectional heat rejection capacities for the
six compressors.
SELECTION:
Based on the total heat rejection capacity for the six compressors of 186,160 BTUH, it can be seen from Table No.
2 that the smallest unit which will meet this requirement is
the Model AB 117 with 203,800 BTUH at 20 °F. T.D. Table
No. 2 lists the heat rejection capacity per “face tube” at
various T.D.’s.
At 20 °F. T.D., the AB 117 has a capacity of 9260 Btuh
per “face tube”. To determine the required number of face
tubes for each section, divide the required sectional capacity by the capacity per “face tube”. For example, compressor No. 1 requires 18,000 : 9260 = 2 “face tubes”. Section
No. 1 should be circuited with 2 “face tubes” for Compressor No. 1. Following this same procedure will determine
the size of each section for the remaining compressors.
The sample tabulation shows the results of this selection and indicates that 22 “face tubes” are required when
using the Model AB 117. Since the Model AB 117 has 22
“face tubes” available, the selection has been satised.
If the total required number of “face tubes” exceeds the
number of “face tubes” available as listed in Table No. 2
it will be necessary to permit a slightly higher condensing
temperature than planned for one or two of the sections. A
second alternative would be to select the next larger size
condenser.
FEATURES A NEW ADVANCED DYNAMIC DESIGN BLOWER SECTION
• HIGH EFFICIENCY FAN PERFORMANCE
• FANS TESTED PER AMCA CODE No. 210
• MINIMUM FAN TIP SPEEDS
• CLASS II CONSTRUCTION
The air handler blower section is a matched assembly
combining advanced engineering techniques with the nest materials available.
Forward-curved centrifugal fans were designed specically to operate at low tip-speeds with minimum power
consumption. To meet the low noise level requirements of
comfort air conditioning, fan outlet velocities have been
reduced without sacricing good fan performance. Blowers
are fully performance tested and certied in accordance
with DIN, ISO, BS and AMCA 210 standards. Blowers are
rated for CLASS II operation and have bearings selected
to guarantee a minimum L50 life time of 200,000 hours.
The fan section is complete with a rugged drive assembly. The heavy duty motor base is designed for quick
and simple belt adjustment. All drives are furnished with
matched V-belts.
EXCLUSIVE STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION
Sectionalized construction provides complete exibility of
unit arrangements with each individual section structurally
designed to provide the absolute maximum in unit strength
and rigidity. All static and dynamic forces are directly transmitted to the unit framework. The blowers are supported
entirely by rigid frame members, eliminating all dynamic
forces from the casing panel. Optional internal blower
isolators are also available on all models.
For maximum durability, the entire cabinet assembly is fabricated of continuous galvanized steel. This heavy protec-
tive nish is maintained intact, completely undisturbed and
is complimented with the use of corrosion resistant permanent fasteners. The positive fastening principle of a permanent fastener provides the rigidity and stability necessary
for lifetime performance. Optional 2” insulated panels are
available on all models. Outdoor construction is available
on all models. These exclusive construction features offer
you the ultimate in air handling design.
INTERNAL BLOWER CONSTRUCTION
All blower housings are manufactured in galvanized sheet
steel. Impellers are also manufactured in galvanized sheet
steel with tab locked blades. All impellers are balanced,
both statically and dynamically, to an accuracy grade of G
= 6.3 in accordance to DIN ISO 1940-1 and ANSI S2.19
– 1989. Bearings are self-aligning, single row, and deep
groove ball type, in pillow block cast iron housings. All
bearings have been selected to guarantee a minimum L50
life time of 200,000 hours. Operating temperatures range
from -25°F to + 131°F (-31°C to +55°C) for all blowers. For
operating temperatures outside these limits please consult
factory. Extended lubrication lines are standard. Airfoil
constructed blowers available for all models for static
pressures above 6” – consult factory (models 103 & 104
excluded).

DETERMINATION OF FAN SPEED AND MOTOR
HP REQUIREMENTS
Final determination of the actual fan performance requires
an accurate calculation of the total resistance to air ow
through the entire system. This total static pressure (TSP)
will consist of two parts: (1) the external resistance due to
air ow through the ducts, discharge grilles, diffusers, etc.
of the distribution system, and (2) the internal resistance
of the unit which results from air ow through the coils,
lters, unit cabinet and other accessories. The method of
calculating the resistance for the various components of
the distribution system are well established. The internal
resistances are easily determined from Blower Data table
(see page 4) which tabulates the resistance values for the
various unit components in increments of air volume. For
the internal resistances as shown in Blower Data table
(see page 4). The resistances of the cooling coil must be
added. These may be obtained from the charts on page 4.
After calculating the total static pressure, the fan speed
and motor horsepower requirements can be accurately determined. With the unit model, CFM and TSP known, the
fan RPM and BHP is easily determined from the Blower
Data Tables. (page 9)
FAN PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
This catalogue contains all of the blower data for central station air handlers. Units are equipped with forward
curved fan wheels as standard.
SELECTION RULES
The fan performance calculation procedure is predicated
on the fact that a fan is a constant volume machine, provided the RPM and static pressure do not change. This
means the delivered air volume (CFM) will not change,
even though the temperature may. The BHP required is
inversely proportional to nal air temperature and altitude;
consequently BHP decreases with an increase in nal
air temperature or higher altitude and increases with a
decrease in nal air temperature or lower altitude. This
requires that the static pressure be adjusted for any air
conditions other than standard. After the calculation of
RPM and BHP, only the BHP need be corrected to the
specied conditions.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
The following data is required to determine the ___. The
unit type, unit size, CFM, total static pressure, operating
temperature and altitude.
1. From table below, obtain the temperature and
altitude conversion factor.
2. Divide the specied total static pressure by the
conversion factor to obtain a corrected total static
pressure.
3. At the specied CFM and corrected total static pressure, determine the RPM and BHP. (page 9)
4. Multiply the BHP by the conversion factor to obtain
the BHP required at the specied altitude and temperature.
EXAMPLE OF SELECTION PROCEDURE
TAB111 with 5000 CFM @ 1.0” total static pressure, 20°F
air temp, 5000 feet elevation:
1. Select model based on CFM requirement and estimated static pressure.
2. Example model selected TAB106F-N-T3A- 4500 CFM @ 0.25” ESP.
3. Verify total internal airside resistance using charts on page 7.

SOUND POWER LEVEL ESTIMATING
The following method of estimating centrifugal fan
sound power level spectrums is taken from the latest
ASHRAE sources. The method does not take into
