Packaged Rooftop Unit for
Heating, Cooling, Ventilating
and Make-Up Air Applications
Features
and
Benefits
The Trane rooftop line is a packaged air
heating and cooling system, suitable
for heating, cooling, ventilating
and make- up air applications. Unit
sizes range from 800 to 14,000 cfm
(0.4-6.6 cu. m/s) with
capabilities. These rooftops are
available with inputs from 100,000
to 1,200,000 Btu/h (29.3 to 351.4 kW).
Duct furnaces are AGA and CGA
certified for safety and performance
with a range of 100,000 Btu/h input to
400,000 Btu/h (29.3 to 117.1 kW) input
per duct furnace. Packaged units are
also ETL and CSA certified for electrical
safety in compliance with UL-1995
Standard for HVAC equipment. The
rooftop units can be ordered as
individual duct furnaces only, heating
with evaporative cooling or packaged
heating and cooling systems.
The mechanical configuration is
determined by selecting one of the nine
standard arrangements. Rooftop
arrangements are divided into two
classifications standard and high cfm
blower types.
The standard blower unit consists of a
blower cabinet that houses the
dampers, filters and blower in one
cabinet. An optional evaporative
cooling unit is available on units up to
800 MBh (234.3 kW). Trane
recommends the use of 409 stainless
steel whenever an evaporative cooling
unit is installed upstream of a duct
furnace section(s).
The high cfm blower unit utilizes a
separate damper/filter cabinet with a
V bank filter arrangement, a blower
cabinet and up to three duct furnaces
(1200 MBh) (351.4 kW). An optional
cooling coil cabinet is offered on units
up to 800 MBh. Trane recommends the
use of 409 stainless steel whenever a
cooling coil is used upstream of a
furnace section(s). Both standard and
high cfm blower arrangements may
also include a downturn supply air
plenum, outside air and/or return air,
intake hood and a roof curb.
All units are completely packaged, railmounted, wired, piped, waterproofed
and test fired to assure a smooth
installation and easy start-up.

Furnace types are divided into two
classifications standard temperature
rise and high temperature rise with
natural and power vented models. All
furnaces have optional left or right
hand access. Standard temperature
rise units have a lower pressure drop
across the heat exchanger allowing
higher airflow capabilities and an 80
percent efficiency rating with a
temperature rise of 20 to 60 F (11 to
33 C). High temperature rise units are
configured for higher temperature rise,
and have a higher pressure drop
across the furnace section of the unit
and a 79 percent efficiency rating with
a temperature rise of 60 to 90 F (33 to
50 C). The high temperature rise type
furnace is not available in California
and only available in a single furnace
package. The maximum discharge air
temperature for all duct furnaces is
150 F (66 C).
In addition to a versatile offering of
mechanical features, this new rooftop
unit also offers a wide variety of factory
installed control options. Control
components are located in the main
electrical cabinet. The main electrical
cabinet is located out of the air stream
as part of the blower transition,
between the blower cabinet and the
first furnace for both standard and high
cfm units. The standard electrical
control scheme consists of a solid-state
fan time delay, two pre-wired relay
sockets which are mounted on the
units main connection board, a solidstate gas ignition system and room or
duct thermostats. The units are also
equipped with a blower door safety
interlock, a 24 VAC circuit breaker, a
high temperature limit switch in each
furnace section and a reverse airflow
switch located in the blower cabinet as
standard equipment.
Gas control options range from single
stage to six stages of fire, mechanical
or electronic modulation and direct
digital control (DDC) interface. Air
control options offer a similar range of
control features from manual dampers
to modulating dampers that may
include mixed air, dry bulb, pressure
sensing, enthalpy control, DDC
interface or ASHRAE cycle control
arrangements.
The venting is an integral part of the
furnace and must not be altered in the
field. The rooftop furnaces are
equipped with a vent cap which is
designed for gravity venting. Air for
combustion enters at the base of the
vent through a protective grill, and the
design of the vent cap is such that the
products of combustion are discharged
at the upper section of the cap. This cap
is shipped in a separate carton. It
should be fastened in position and not
be altered in any way.
The proximity of the combustion air
inlet to products of combustion
discharge is designed to provide
trouble-free operation under all types of
wind conditions.
The power vented unit has a system
with the inlet and discharge grill located
in the upper section of a split-side
panel. This balanced flue design also
performs well under virtually all wind
conditions.

Application
Considerations
General
Outdoor duct furnaces are designed for
use in ducted applications with a
separate air handling device such as a
horizontal blower assembly. By utilizing
a separate air source, greater
application flexibility in airflow delivery
can be obtained. Multiple duct furnaces
can be used with an air handling unit to
provide zone heating.

Note: When installing duct furnaces in
parallel or in series, minimum
clearance requirements must be
considered. This clearance is required
for serviceability. Duct furnaces are
approved for blow-thru applications
only. Right-hand burner drawers are
available for parallel applications.
Contact your local Trane representative
for more information.
When used in conjunction with filters,
cooling coils and an air handler, the
duct furnace can become part of a builtup heating and cooling system.

Outdoor heating units are designed for
make-up air or space heating
applications. These weatherproofed
units are intended for roof or slab
mounting, saving indoor space and
offering easy access for service and
maintenance. The units are typically
used in ducted applications.
Outdoor units cannot be mounted
indoors due to the flue configuration.
Gas Heating Value
The majority of gas heating units are
installed in applications where natural
gas is readily available. In areas where
natural gas is not available, Trane units
may be ordered directly from the
factory for use on LP (propane) gas.
Gas heat content varies by fuel type
and location. The standard gross
heating value for natural gas is 1,000
Btuh per cubic foot; for propane it is
2,500 Btuh per cubic foot. Significant
variations from these standard values
should be taken into account in
equipment selections. To account for
variations in the gross heating value of
the fuel, adjust the total heat input
required and select the unit on the
basis of the adjusted load using the
following formula:
Adjusted load = Calculated load x
Standard gross heat value (Btuh/cu ft)
Actual gross heat value (Btuh/cu ft)
Low Temperature Rise
Trane recommends against the set-up
of a unit which will result in a
temperature rise of less than 20 F. With
such low temperature rises, the flue
gases passing through the heat
exchanger are cooled to condensate
before reaching the flue outlet. This
condensate is corrosive and will result
in shortened heat exchanger life.
Air Density
Catalog performance data is based on
elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m)
above sea level. Above 2,000 feet
(610 m), the units heating capacity
must be derated four percent for each
1,000 feet above sea level and special
orifice selections are required. Table
PAF-1 contains correction factors that
can be applied to the units cataloged
heating capacity, fan rpm, and fan bhp
to obtain actual values for elevations
above 2,000 feet.
Corrosive Atmospheres
Corrosion of heat exchangers and draft
diverters have two basic variables
moisture (condensation) and sulphur.
These two ingredients form to make
sulfuric acid in the combustion
process. Condensation occurs
commonly in make-up air systems,
using large amounts of fresh air, when
air temperatures entering the heat
exchanger drop to 40 F or below. This
reaction can also occur in recirculating
systems where some quantity of
outside air is introduced upstream
of the exchanger. The sulphur will
always be present as an integral
component of the gas. The resulting
concentration of the acid is governed
by the amount of sulphur in the gas.
This concentration varies from gas to
gas and geographically within the
same type of gas.
Beyond sulfuric acid corrosion, there is
the area of chlorinated or halogenated
hydrocarbon vapor corrosion. This
type of corrosion occurs when
substances are mixed with combustion
air that will cause the formation of
hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid when
burned. These basic substances are
found in degreasers, dry cleaning
solvents, glues, cements, paint
removers and aerosol propellants.
Specific chemicals included in this
group are trichloroethylene,
perchloroethylene, carbon
tetrachloride, methylene chloride,
methyl chloroform and refrigerants 11,
12, 21, 22 and 114.
If sufficient PPM content of these
corrosives is present, none of the
common heat exchanger materials will
hold up. The dilemma becomes
whether to place the gas heating
equipment outside of the area to be
conditioned or use equipment in the
space which does not burn a fuel such
as gas (i.e., electric or hydronic).
Units should not be installed in areas
with corrosive or inflammable
atmospheres. Locations containing
solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbons
will produce corrosive acids when
coming in contact with burner flames.
This reaction will greatly reduce the life
of the heat exchanger and may void
the warranty. For added protection
against heat exchanger corrosion,
optional 409 and 321 stainless steel
construction is available.
On units using outside air, with
entering air temperature below 40 F,
condensation of flue gas in the heat
exchanger is possible. In these cases,
stainless steel heat exchangers are
recommended. An optional 409 or 321
stainless steel heat exchanger is
recommended whenever there is an
evaporative cooler or cooling coil
upstream of the furnace section(s).
11
Careful review of the job application
with respect to use, probable
contaminants within a conditioned
space and the amount of fresh air to be
brought in will help to make the proper
selection of heat exchanger material.
This review will help to eliminate
problems before they begin.
Outdoor gas heating products are used
in either make-up air or space heating
applications (constant volume or
variable air volume). These two basic
applications are discussed in detail
below.
Make-Up Air Applications
Make-up air systems provide outside
air for ventilation requirements and
replace air removed by an exhaust air
system. Typical applications include
kitchens, restaurants, manufacturing
areas, sports centers, garages and
terminals.
Local codes and ordinances frequently
specify ventilation requirements for
public places and industrial
installations. Generally accepted
industry practices are given in the
ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.
Published industrial ventilation codes
are usually based on summer
ventilation conditions of a work
environment and should be reviewed
for winter operation. Exhaust
requirements should also be examined
to establish the year-round make-up
air requirement within limitations of
codes and regulations. Whenever
fresh air will be used and is present at
temperatures below 40 F, 409 stainless
steel heat exchangers are
recommended.

Space Heating Applications
Constant Volume
Make-up air units can be used to offset
a portion of the building heat losses in
addition to supplying make-up air. This
is accomplished by heating the makeup air beyond the required space
temperature. The additional heat
supplied above room temperature can
satisfy a portion of the space heating
requirement. The additional capacity
(Btuh) available for heating can be
calculated with the following equation:
Space Heating Capacity =
1.085 x SCFM Make-up Air x

Outdoor units using 100 percent return
air or a combination of return and
outside air are more efficient in
providing space heat than make-up air
units using 100 percent outside air at a
colder temperature.

Space Heating Applications
Variable Air Volume
Dual duct VAV systems have one duct
to distribute cold air to those spaces
that need cooling and another to
distribute warm air to those spaces
that need heating. When separate fans
are used to handle the two duct
systems, the ductwork can be arranged
to allow simultaneous use of airside
economizers and plenum heat of
lights. The cooling unit uses return air
or cold outside air in order to save
compressor energy. The heating unit
uses only plenum heated return air.
))
This return air contains the rejected
heat from the lights in the building and
when recovered through the heating
unit, can lower gas heating costs.
In this mode, the dual duct VAV is not
unlike water source heat pumps or
three deck multizone air handlers, but
also has the added savings of variable
air volume.
Result dual duct VAV is an efficient
system capable of using economizers
and heat recovery devices. Occupant
comfort is enhanced because heating
and cooling are always available to the
perimeter zones.

Multizone Staged Systems
Multizone staged systems act on the
same basic principals as a single-zone
staged system where as each stage is
engaged with respect to demand. With
multizone systems a thermostat or
zone sensor is used for each zone. The
system must be sized to maintain
comfort levels for all zones. Zone
dampers are used for efficient
operation of multizone systems. Upon
a call for heat from either zone the
system will fire at low fire, upon a call
from both zones the system will go to
high fire. The zone dampers shall open
and close upon a call for heat from
their respective zone sensors. Typically
a discharge air thermostat or sensor is
used to maintain supply air
temperature in multizone systems.

Outside air is introduced in order to
replace or make up for exhausted air
due to commercial or industrial
processes that require exhausted air
within a space. The make up air is
heated to a comfortable level relieving
any additional load on the space
heating system. Make-up air systems
may also be configured to supplement
space heating by increasing the
discharge air temperature beyond the
required temperature for the space.
This additional heat above space
temperature can offset a portion of the
buildings heat losses. The additional
heating capacity (Btuh) can be
calculated as:
Space Heating Capacity =
1.085 x SCFM Make-Up Air x
(Max ∆T - (T

- T
O.A.
)).
Exhaust Fan

Inside Air
Typical applications for make up air
may include restaurants, kitchens,
public arenas, airport and bus
terminals, parking and maintenance
garages, manufacturing and process
areas. Make-up air and exhaust units
may be matched in size and electrically
interlocked with 100 percent outside air
introduced when the exhaust fan is
engaged. The make-up air system may
also incorporate outside and return air
and modulate the mixture based upon
building pressure typically maintaining
a slightly positive pressure within the
space in order to reduce infiltration.
The mixed air arrangement is
generally the more efficient method
due to the tempering of the outside air,
however some applications may
require 100 percent outside air due to
poor return air quality. The use of 409
or 321 stainless steel heat exchangers
is recommended whenever outside air
is used.

Basic DDC Control System with Heating/Cooling Rooftop Unit
The basic direct digital control (DDC)
system uses a microprocessor based
controller and software to perform
system and building control functions.
The controller receives input from
sensors mounted within the system.
Based upon input data, the controller
outputs a programmed response to the
systems actuators (gas valves, fan
motors and damper motors). Inputs
may consist of temperature, pressure
or flow and can be analog or digital
signals. Output can also be analog or
digital; analog output signals are
generally 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC and
digital outputs a relay actuation.
The control may be located in the unit
or in the building. A personal computer
(PC) and software may be provided for
remote communication. Temperature
setpoints, night setback, time limited
cycling, safety interlock input and
system override functions may be
setup at the controller or by PC
interface via modem or direct
connection. The controller may store in
memory a number of previous cycles
of operation with date, time, sensed
temperatures, rate of fire and durationof-cycle information available for down
loading to a PC for report generation
and printout. With digital control,
energy use can be easily optimized for
economical operation while
maintaining comfort levels with a
higher degree of accuracy.
Unit Placement
Refer to the applicable Trane
Installation, Operation and
Maintenance literature for specific
installation instructions. Installations
must conform with local building
codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1.
Outdoor units are designed and
certified for outdoor use only. They
may be located on the roof or at any
convenient location outside the
building to be heated. When locating
units on the roof, make certain that it is
capable of carrying the additional load
of this equipment.
Units are mounted on skids and are
suitable for curb or slab mounting. It is
recommended that the units skids be
mounted either on solid planking or
steel channels, but not on a soft tar roof
where the skids could sink and reduce
the clearance between the bottom of
the unit and the roof.

Application
Considerations
Venting
The venting is an integral part of the
furnace and must not be altered in the
field. The rooftop furnaces are
equipped with a vent cap which is
designed for gravity venting. Air for
combustion enters at the base of the
vent through a protective grill, and the
design of the vent cap is such that the
products of combustion are
discharged at the upper section of the
cap. This cap is shipped in a separate
carton. It should be fastened in
position and not be altered in any way.
The proximity of the combustion air
inlet to products of combustion
discharge is designed to provide
trouble-free operation under all types
of wind conditions.
The power vented unit has a system
with the inlet and discharge grill
located in the upper section of a splitside panel. This balanced flue design
also performs well under virtually all
wind conditions.
FM and IRI Requirements
IRI, which stands for Industrial Risk
Insurers, and FM, which stands for
Factory Mutual, are both basically
insurance companies which insure
commercial/industrial firms against a
variety of losses. Both publish
requirements which must be met by
certain equipment operating in the
facilities they are preparing to insure.
Listed below is our interpretation of
the requirements of both insurers
pertaining to heating units only to the
extent of features/controls required by
IRI and/or FM. There are a number of
additional requirements which pertain
to electrical service, details of
installation, etc., and we urge you to
obtain copies of the publications
pertaining to these details if you are
involved in a job where IRI or FM
adherence has been indicated. The
requirements detailed herein are our
interpretations of the latest
publications in our possession and we
must disclaim any responsibility for
errors due to our interpretation and/or
lack of any updated revision of these
standards. Our intent is to provide you
with an understanding of the
application of these standards and
how we believe our indirect-fired gas
heating equipment applies.
IRI Requirements
1
All input sizes require 100 percent
shutoff. This requires that any natural
gas unit, equipped with intermittent
pilot ignition, must employ a lockout type ignition system which will
shut off pilot gas if the pilot fails to
light at any time. This system is
required by AGA on LP gas units as
standard equipment. However, for
natural gas units, you will need to
specify fuel type L Natural Gas with
100 percent lockout.
2
All units require AGA certification or
UL listed controls. Our units are
AGA certified and meet this
requirement.
3
Models with inputs of 150,000 to
400,000 Btuh (43.9-117.1 kW) require
mechanical exhaust and a safety
interlock. For our units this means a
power vented unit.
FM Requirements
1
All units must be AGA certified or UL
listed. Our units are AGA certified.
2
The high limit control must be in a
circuit, the voltage of which does not
exceed 120 VAC. All of our high limits
would meet this requirement.
The specific requirement for an IRI or
FM gas train, while it applies to direct
and indirect-fired gas heating
equipment as well as oil-fired, comes
into play only with units having an
input in excess of 400,000 Btuh (117.1
kW). This may be one of the reasons
why the majority of gas heating
equipment manufacturers (indirectfired) limit their largest individual
furnace to 400,000 Btuh (117.1 kW).
Minimum/Maximum Gas
Inlet Pressures
Gas valves are suitable to a maximum
inlet pressure of 0.5 psi (14 inches
water column) on natural gas. If the
main gas supply pressure is greater
than 14 inches WC (3.5 kPa), a step
down pressure regulator must be field
installed ahead of the gas valve.
Minimum inlet pressure for natural gas
units is 6
For LP (propane) gas, the minimum
inlet pressure is 11

pressure is 14.0 inches WC (3.5 kPa).

High Pressure Regulators
Natural Gas Only
The Trane gas heating products
contained in this catalog are designed
to operate at a pressure of 3.5-inch WC
(0.9 kPa) (water column) when firing
on natural gas. This is the manifold
pressure or that which is present at the
burner orifices. All five and six-function
valves provide a built-in pressure
regulator which is capable of reducing
supply pressures from a maximum
of 14-inch WC (3.5 kPa) (
3.5-inch WC (0.9 kPa) on the leaving
side of the valve. The valve typically
drops about 1
minimum supply pressure is 5-inch

Whenever supply pressures exceed
14-inch WC (3.5 kPa), a high pressure
regulator should be selected. We
supply an Equimeter regulator which
is fitted with pressure springs and
capacity orificing to meet the
requirements of each specific job. In
order to select the proper spring/orifice
combination, we need to know what
the supply pressure is on that
particular job and the input size of the
unit being ordered. More than one unit
can be run from one regulator;
however, we recommend that each
unit have its own regulator.

contact a local utility or an industrial
supply house.
These devices are not available from
Trane for LP gas. LP accessories must
be secured from the gas supplier or
industrial supply house.

Step 1
To properly select a unit, two of the
three following items must be known:
temperature rise (TR) required, cubic
feet per minute of air delivery (cfm)
required and output (Btu/h out)
required. From any two of these items
the third item can be determined, as
well as the input (Btu/h In) required by
using the following:
TR = BTU/H Out ÷ (1.085 x CFM)
CFM = BTU/H ÷ (1.085 x TR)
BTU/H Out = (CFM x 1.085) x TR
BTU/H In = BTU/H Out ÷ Efficiency
.80 or .79
(The value 1.085 represents a constant.)
With any two of the three required
values, match these requirements to a
unit with the nearest input (Btu/h),
temperature rise (TR) and airflow (cfm)
capabilities keeping in mind that:
BTU/H Out = BTU/H In x Efficiency
Refer to the Packaged Rooftop
Arrangement Reference, page 9, to
match a capacity range (Btu/h), air
delivery (cfm) and temperature rise
(TR) with a rooftop arrangement.
The top portion of Quick Sizer Charts 1,
2, 3 and 4 allows the use of
temperature rise and cfm to determine
capacity, or temperature rise and
capacity to determine cfm, or capacity
and cfm to determine temperature rise.
Follow the top chart down to the
corresponding filter and cooling range
for the selection.
Step 2
Once capacity, temperature rise and
cfm have been determined, go to the
accessory pressure losses table for the
arrangement and calculate pressure
losses for unit accessories. Add the
losses for filters, plenums, dampers,
rainhood with screen or moisture
eliminators, evaporative cooler or
cooling coil and losses due to ductwork
to determine the total esp.
Step 3A 2000 ft. Altitude and Below
Refer to the performance table for the
selection and determine rpm and bhp
for the total external static pressure
(esp). Go to the table row that most
closely matches unit capacity,
temperature rise and cfm, follow the
row out to the column that equals the
total esp for rpm and bhp values.
Selection
Procedure
Figure SP-1 Zone Chart
Step 3B Above 2000 ft. Altitude
To correct for altitude, go to Table
PAF-1, Correction Factors for Altitude.
From this table, determine the
correction factor from temperature and
altitude for the system.
Correct the esp from ductwork to actual
esp for altitude, then add sp from
accessories as shown below. Refer to
the performance table for the selected
unit. Go to the row that most closely
matches unit capacity, temperature rise
and cfm, and follow the row out to the
column that equals the corrected actual
esp for rpm and bhp values. The bhp
value can now be corrected to actual
bhp for altitude as shown below.
Evaporative cooling is most commonly
used in areas where the relative
humidity is low and the dry bulb
temperatures are high. However,
cooling through evaporation can be
used in most areas.
Evaporative cooling is best utilized
whenever the wet bulb depression
(difference between dry and wet bulb
temperature) is a minimum of 15 F.
The efficiency of the evaporative cooler
is determined by a variety of factors:
geographical location, application, air
change requirements, sufficient water
supply, airflow and maintenance. In
most instances, efficiency is expected
to be between 77 percent and 88
percent. Heat gains in the distribution
system will affect the final output
temperature.
Note: For SI metric conversion, see
Table G-2 on page 10.
23
Selection
Procedure
Figure SP-2 Psychrometrics Chart
Use the psychrometric chart (shown in
Figure SP-2) or actual humidity
temperature readings to estimate the
leaving dry bulb temperature at the
outlet of the evaporative cooler.
Example:
Entering Dry Bulb: 95 F
Entering Wet Bulb: 75 F
Wet Bulb Depression (95 F - 75 F)
= 20 F
Effective Wet Bulb Depression
(20 F x .85) = 17 F
Leaving Dry Bulb Temperature
(95 F - 17 F) = 78 F
Leaving Wet Bulb = Entering Wet Bulb
= 75 F
Selection Method
The easiest method for selecting an
evaporative cooler is to first determine
the required number of air changes per
minute.
1
Using Figure SP-1, choose the
geographical zone in which the unit is
to be installed.
2
Determine the internal load within the
structure:
Normal Load: structures with normal
people loads, and without high internal
heat gains.
High Load: Structures with high
equipment loads (i.e. factories,
laundromats, beauty salons, restaurant
kitchens, etc.), and structures with high
occupancy (night clubs, arenas, etc.).
3
Determine whether the structure has
normal or high heat gains.
Normal Gain: Structures that have
insulated roofs or are in shaded areas.
Structures that have two or more
stories or facing directions with no sun.
High Gain: Structures that have
uninsulated roofs, unshaded areas, or
rooms that are exposed to sun.
4
Using Table SP-1, determine the
required air changes per minute based
on zone selection and the type of heat
load.
5
Finally, determine the air quantity for
the space chosen, by calculating the
volume (L x W x H). Multiply this
volume by the air changes per minute.
Example:
Structure Dimensions:
25 L x 24 W x 10 H = 6000 Ft

Zone
Cooling Coils
Cooling coils are used in air handling
systems to cool and dehumidify an air
stream for comfort purposes. To reduce
the cooling load in buildings, most
applications recirculate a large
percentage of the air. Usually
recirculated air is 75 to 80 percent of
the airflow with the remainder being
outside fresh air. Some codes require
100 percent outside air, particularly for
hospitals and schools. Also many
engineers specify higher percentages
of outside air to meet the requirements
of ASHRAE Standard 62-1989
Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air
Quality.
1
In order to select the least expensive
coil to meet the specific performance
criteria, the following information is
required:
- Unit size
- Airflow in SCFM or ACFM and altitude
(see Fan Selection at Altitude)
- Entering air dry bulb and wet bulb
temperatures based on ratio of
outside to return air.
- Cooling load MBh (1000s Btu/h) or
leaving air wet bulb.
2
For chilled water coils, the following
additional information is required.
- Fluid type: water, ethylene glycol,
propylene glycol and percent of
mixture.
- Entering fluid temperature F
- Leaving fluid temperature F or rate
of flow GPM.
Chilled water catalog tables are based
on:

When specifying a coil, one of the most
important pieces of information is the
airflow in SCFM. As stated in the Fan
Selection at Altitude section, SCFM
means Standard CFM or air at a
density of 0.075 lb./cu. ft. A fan must be
selected using ACFM or ACTUAL CFM.
A cooling coil or heating coil must be
selected using SCFM. Up to an altitude
of approximately 1,500 feet above sea
level, very little error would be
introduced in the selection of a cooling
coil. For altitudes above 1,500 feet
above sea level, the coil must be
selected using SCFM. The relationship
between ACFM and SCFM is shown by
the following equation:
SCFM = ACFM x (Actual Density
÷ 0.075)
The term 0.075 ÷ Actual Density is
referred to as the density correction
factor, herein called the Factor. This
factor can be found in Table PAF-1. The
previous equation can then be
rewritten as:
SCFM = (ACFM ÷ Factor)
Example: A cooling coil must be
selected at 5,000 ft. altitude. The unit
delivers 10,000 ACFM. What is the
SCFM? At 5,000 ft. altitude, the factor
from Table PAF-1 is 1.20, therefore:
SCFM = 10,000 ACFM ÷ 1.20 =
8.333 SCFM
5
The entering air temperatures, both
wet bulb and dry bulb, must also be
considered when selecting a coil. A
majority of units usually use
recirculated air with a percentage of
outside air. The cooling coil must be
selected using the mixed air
temperature entering the coil.
The following example shows how to
calculate the mixed air temperature:
25 percent outside air at 95 F DB/
75 F WB
75 percent recirculated air at 78 F DB/
67 F WB
The mixed dry bulb is simply the
proportional value between the outside
and recirculated dry bulb
temperatures.
.25 x 95 + .75 x 78 = 82.3 F
The mixed wet bulb temperatures
must be calculated using either the
humidity ratio from a psychrometric
chart or from Table SP-2, The enthalpy
of saturated air at various wet bulb
temperatures.
Using Table SP-2, the enthalpy of the
outside air at 75 F WB is 38.62 Btu/lb.
and the recirculated air at 67 F WB is
31.63 Btu/lb., the mixed enthalpy is:
.25 x 38.62 + .75 x 31.63 = 33.38 Btu/lb.
Using this value in Table SP-2, the
Ratings shown are for elevations up to 2000 feet (610 m) above sea level. Above 2000 feet (610 m), input must be derated four percent for each 1000 feet (305 m)
above sea level.
2. Values are based on the Basic Packaged Unit which includes pressure drop of the duct furnace(s) and system effect of the blower module.
3. Brake horsepower (BHP) includes drive losses.
4. Unit leaving air temperature is limited to 150 F (66 C) and is equal to: Entering Air Temperature + Duct Furnace(s) Temperature Rise.
5. Total External Pressure is the sum of the units Internal accessory pressure loss(es) plus the external static pressure.
6. Ratings shown are for elevations between 0 and 2000 ft. (610 m). For unit installation in the U.S.A. above 2000 ft. (610 m), the unit input must be derated 4%
for each 1000 ft. (305 m) above sea level; refer to local codes, or in absence of local codes, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Standard Z223.1-1992
(N.F.P.A. No. 54), or the latest edition.
For installation in Canada, any references to deration at altitudes in excess of 2000 ft. (610 m) are to be ignored. At altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372 m),
the unit must be derated to 90% of the normal rating, and be so marked in accordance with the C.G.A. certification.
