Outdoor Air Condensers and Fluid Coolers Layout and Components
.
The general layout of AC options (air-and water-cooled) is shown on Pic.D.5 below with the outdoor air condenser
NC-Z-1 (left)
and fluid cooler
NG-V-11 (right)
as an example. While layout and main components are similar for all
applicable AC options, there are some deviations (number of fans, coil sizes, composition, etc.). Refer to
AC
Options Basic View
(
Basic Information
chapter) for additional information.
•
Cooling (AC)
coil(s)
(31) (where heat from refrigerant in the outdoor condenser or glycol mixture in fluid cooler
is rejected to the ambient air) is mounted onto metal frame/air box upstream (before) the
fan
(32), that pulls
the air through the coil to absorb the heat.
o
Condenser/cooler
piping connections
(33) are identified respectively (IN
–
OUT, Hot gas
–
Liquid etc.);
In some cases
, fluid cooler
piping connection(s) may be located within
pump package
box
(37), if fluid cooler is provided with one.
Piping connection location may vary
–
refer to particular cooler/condenser labels, stickers,
submittal and other documentation.
o
Depending on the type, size and installation,
outdoor condensers
may be provided with different set
of
legs/supports
(34), which are required assembly on-site
–
refer to the Installation manual.
o
Depending on the size and capacity, condenser or cooler may have multiple fans or coils.
•
Electric power is normally to be brought to
disconnect
(35) (if cooler/condenser is equipped with such), which
feeds it to the
electrical box
(36), that contains condenser or cooler power and control apparatuses.
o
Condenser’s
piping manifold/connections normally are protected by the electrical panel cover;
o
Depending on type of
fluid cooler,
location of electrical box may slightly differ; in some cases,
electrical box may be incorporated into pump package.
