Explanation of charts
Chart A is the nominal dry coil VERT-I-PAK CFMs. Chart B is the correction factors beyond nominal conditions.
1 ½ TON SYSTEM ( 18,000 Btu)
Operating on high speed @ 230 volts with dry coil
measured external static pressure .10
Air Flow = 450 CFM
In the same SYSTEM used in the previous example but having a WET coil you must use a correction factor of .95 (i.e. 450 x
.95=428 CFM) to allow for the resistance (internal) of the condensate on the coil.
It is important to use the proper procedure to check external Static Pressure and determine actual airfl ow. Since in the case
of the VERT-I-PAK, the condensate will cause a reduction in measured External Static Pressure for the given airfl ow.
It is also important to remember that when dealing with VERT-l-PAK units that the measured External Static Pressure in -
creases as the resistance is added externally to the cabinet. Example: duct work, fi lters, grilles.
Indoor Airflow Data
The Vert-I-Pak A series units must be installed with a free return air configuration. The table below lists the indoor airflow at
corresponding static pressures. All units are rarted at low speed.
The Vert-I-Pak units are designed for either single speed or two fan speed operation. For single speed operation refer to the
airflow table below and select the most appropriate CFM based on the ESP level. Connect the fan output from the thermostat
to the unit on either the GL terminal for low speed or to the GH terminal for high speed operation.
For thermostats with two-speed fan outputs connect the low speed output to the unit GL terminal and the high speed output
to the GH terminal.
Ductwork Preparation
If flex duct is used, be sure all the slack is pulled out of the flex duct. Flex duct ESP can increase considerably when not fully
extended. DO NOT EXCEED a total of .30 ESP, as this is the MAXIMUM design limit for the VERT-I-PAK A-Series unit.
IMPORTANT:
FLEX DUCT CAN COLLAPSE AND CAUSE AIRFLOW RESTRICTIONS. DO NOT USE FLEX DUCT FOR: 90 DEGREE
BENDS, OR UNSUPPORTED RUNS OF 5 FT. OR MORE.
