Operating Limits<br />

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 />
