B.
Indoor Blower and Motor.
All Scholar V air conditioners and heat pumps use an
electronically commutated (EC) blower motor and a single axial fan. The motor speed
is controlled by a PLC and will modulate with the compressor.
C.
Outdoor Air Mover.
The outdoor air mover is an axial fan with an
asynchronous external rotor motor on the 2 and 3 ton heat pumps and all
air conditioners. Scholar V heat pumps, models VAIVA use two blowers
with electronically commutated motors (ECM). Anytime the unit is in
cooling mode and the compressor is on, the fan or blowers are cycled on and off as
needed by the PLC to control condenser pressure.
Each blower motor is factory set at 55% and does not need any field adjustment.
The outdoor coils, filter drier, high pressure switch, loss of charge switch outdoor
orifice, defrost sensor are located behind the large middle front panel.
