AE-Air APHBC Horizontal Fan Coil with Plenum Chilled or Hot Water Owner's Manual
FEATURES / BENEFITS
Basic Unit
All fan coils are manufactured with heavy gauge galvanized steel to resist corrosion. All models are approved for installation with “0” clearance to combustible material.
Insulation
Plenums and cabinets are insulated with Tuf-Skin dual density fiber glass blanket insulation with an antimicrobial agent.
Ceiling Panels
Hinged access/return panels are manufactured with heavy gauge galvanized steel with captive mounting screws and an attractive white baked powder finish.
Condensate Pans
Positive sloped drain pans are galvanized steel, coated on the inside surface with insulation. Pan includes both primary and secondary drain connections.
Return Air Plenums
Return air plenums are manufactured from galvanized steel insulated with dual density fiber glass blanket insulation and a 1” TA fiber glass filter.
Coils
Constructed with seamless copper tubes and headers. The tubes are mechanically expanded into corrugated aluminum fin material for a permanent primary to secondary surface bond. Coils are tested under water at 450 PSI for operation at 300 PSI. Coils include manual air vents.
Fan Wheels-Housing
The fan wheels are double width, double inlet (DWDI) forward curved, centrifugal type. Wheels are statically and dynamically balanced for smooth, quite operation. The housing is constructed from heavy gauge galvanized steel with die-formed inlet cones.
Motors
Standard motors are PSC, permanently lubricated type with internal thermal overload protection.
Options
Factory mounted options include ECM motors stainless steel drain pans, foil faced cabinet insulation, Multi-24 3-speed 24V control, valve packages, thermostats, aqua stats, service switches. 120V, 208V/230V, 277V, 60hz
Return Air Plenums Return air plenums are manufactured from galvanized steel insulated with dual density fiber glass blanket insulation and a 1″ TA fiber glass filter.
