Chapter 1: Description & Specifications
1.01 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Next Generation Scholar 2.0 VDA and VAA heat pumps and air conditioners from
Marvair are modular HVAC systems designed to provide heating, cooling, and outside
fresh air for school classrooms. The units are installed in the classroom against an
exterior wall. The vertical configuration minimizes the floor space occupied by the
HVAC unit. This unique design makes it ideal for both new schools and for renovation of
existing classrooms.
A full range of ventilation options – from the GreenCube
®
ERV, to a mechanical damper
- are offered to meet any climate or budget. A wide selection of architectural louvers
provides the designer with unlimited styles and configurations to compliment the exterior
of the school. (For a complete description of the architectural louvers, please refer to the
Marvair brochure entitled, “Architectural Extruded Aluminum Louvers”.) Marvair offers a
full range of thermostats to meet virtually every requirement. The unit can be controlled
by a wall mounted thermostat, an internal thermostat or interfaced with a energy
management system.
Scholar 2.0 heat pumps and air conditioners are available in cooling capacities from 2 to
5 tons with a 2-stage compressor (cooling only) as standard. Electric resistance or hot
water is available as primary heat on the air conditioners and as second stage heat on
the heat pump. All sizes are available for operation on 208/230 V. 1Ø or 3Ø and 460 V.
