isolated 

direct 

drive 

backward  curved  plenum  fans,  shell  and 
tube 

or 

brazed 

plate 

water-cooled 

condensers,  R-410A  scroll  compressors, 
evaporator coils, chilled water cooling coils, 
steam  or  hot  water  heating  coils,  waterside 
economizers,  and  a  single  point  power 
connection.  Units  are  assembled,  wired, 
charged  and  run-tested  at  the  factory.  SA 
Series  units  are  not  intended  for  residential 
use.

received to match the job requirements. 
 
 

 

 
 

 

Improper 

installation, 

adjustment, 

alteration,  service  or  maintenance 
can 

cause
