Chilled Water Valves Or Hot Water
Valves
Chilled water or hot water valves, if supplied by United
CoolAir, are typically 2 way� The valve would be shipped
loose for installation in the field. The valve is to be mounted
in the outlet line of the coil�
Head Pressure Control Valves
Standard water-cooled units do not include a water regulating
valve for head pressure control� However, if the incoming
water to the unit will be at 65˚ or below, the unit should have
been ordered with Head Pressure Control Valve(s)�
A pressure transducer senses the liquid refrigerant pressure
leaving the heat exchanger and sends a signal to a pressure
controller� The controller then provides a modulating electrical
signal to the head pressure control valve to adjust the valve
open or closed to control the amount of water flow to maintain
a refrigerant pressure set point (factory set to 360 psig)�
The valve can be 2-way, 3-way or 2-way with a bypass
solenoid for heat pump applications
Economizer Operation (Airside)
The optional economizer setup utilizes outdoor air as
much as possible to maintain the temperature in the space
being conditioned� Airside Economizer uses outdoor air to
condition the space when the outdoor air enthalpy is less
than the indoor air enthalpy and the outdoor air enthalpy is
less than the Economizer Module’s enthalpy set point� To
ensure that the outside air conditions are suitable to operate
in the airside economizer mode, an outdoor air enthalpy
sensor and a return air enthalpy sensor must be installed at
locations where they can continuously monitor outdoor air
and return air conditions�
The outdoor air enthalpy sensor must be mounted in ambient
outdoor air at a location not influenced by radiant sunlight
or other radiating elements� If outdoor air is continuously
being supplied to the space being conditioned to satisfy
minimum fresh air requirements required by specific codes,
the Outdoor Air Enthalpy Sensor can be installed inside the
outdoor air ducting; otherwise, it must be installed outdoors in
the outdoor air intake plenum� Install the Return Air Enthalpy
Sensor in the return air duct before the return air damper�
Economizer Operation
When a call for cooling is initiated by the thermostat located
in the space being conditioned, and if the enthalpy conditions
are satisfied as sensed by the economizer module, the
outdoor air provided for cooling the space could be from a
small portion up to 100% total air flow of outdoor air. The
determination of how much outdoor air to use for cooling
is determined by additional sensors that monitor mixed and
discharge air temperatures�
These additional sensors are optional and when they
are used in the application, they limit the discharge air
temperature so that the discharge air does not become too
cold� If these optional sensors are not used, the module will
drive the dampers completely open for economizer and use
as much cold outdoor air as possible� Refer to the additional
instructions provided and electrical diagrams for installation
of Economizer Module, Enthalpy Sensors, and Setup and
Operating Instructions�
When the indoor air conditions are better than the outdoor
air conditions the Economizer Module will send a signal
to the compressors to use mechanical cooling instead of
economizer and limit the amount of outdoor air provided to
the setting of the minimum outdoor air set point�
Economizer Operation – (Waterside)
The waterside economizer is also referred to as a “free
cooling coil”�
The free cooling coil is installed before the DX cooling coil in
the return air stream�
A sensor is provided in the water inlet side of the water
cooled condenser� If the incoming water temperature is
below the control setpoint, a normally closed solenoid valve
opens and lets the water pass through the free cooling coil�
The refrigerant circuit is deactivated during the free cooling
economizer operation�
Condensing Section Outdoor
Modification Kit
This kit is available to attach to the outside con- denser/
condensing section (See Fig. 17). The air deflector
prevents condenser discharge air from re-circulating into
the condenser return air� The weather hood minimizes the
possibility of water and snow being pulled in� The screens
keep debris, wildlife and hands out of unit� A clearance
distance of 6 feet is preferable on the inlet/outlet face of the
section for adequate air flow with minimal re-circulation.
Split Condenser / Condensing
Sections
Condensers (without compressors) or condensing sections
(with compressors) are available for split applications, both
air and water-cooled� For condensers/condensing units to
be used with evaporator sections, other than United CoolAir
products, the units are supplied with the refrigerant lines
capped with only a holding charge of nitrogen�
