Airflow<br />
The minimum VAV design airflow limits are<br />
also listed in the data table on pages 11 and<br />
12. This airflow corresponds to 400 FPM velocity<br />
over DX coil. It is highly recommended to<br />
keep the face velocity above 200 FPM. This<br />
minimum face velocity prevents heat transfer<br />
and refrigerant control problems. At the minimum<br />
design airflow, therefore, 50% turndown<br />
is available. At the maximum airflow for the<br />
unit, 33% turndown is available. Once the units<br />
are installed and the fit out work is complete,<br />
the entire air system needs to be air balanced.<br />
As part of this procedure, it is very critical that<br />
the total minimum airflow for the VAV boxes is<br />
set to be the same as or greater than the absolute<br />
minimum airflow for the York Versecon<br />
unit. This should cover all VAV box position<br />
scenarios, including if only one zone needs<br />
cooling. If the VAV box and unit minimum airflow<br />
are not coordinated, the low face velocities<br />
will cause nuisance alarms in the<br />
self-contained unit.<br />
Condenser Water Flow<br />
Typical design condenser water flow for a<br />
water-cooled unit is 3.0 gpm/ton. This corresponds<br />
to a 10°F difference between the entering<br />
and leaving condenser water temperatures.<br />
The Versecon unit is designed for a minimum<br />
water flow of 2.0 gpm/ton. This corresponds to<br />
a 15°F condenser water temperature change.<br />
The benefit of using a lower gpm/ton is the cost<br />
savings for the smaller diameter pipe, smaller<br />
pump and pumping costs. The downside to<br />
using a lower water flow is it will increase the<br />
leaving condenser water temperature. With the<br />
increase in water temperature, there is an<br />
increase in the condensing temperature. At the<br />
elevated condensing temperatures, the compressor<br />
will lose some capacity and slightly<br />
increase the electrical consumption.<br />
