Air pattern Downflow units discharge air into the raised floor plenum eliminating the
need for air distributing ductwork. This enables the owner to locate the unit
where space is available or relocate the unit as the room changes or expands.
These units are suitable for areas with raised floors greater than 12" (305
mm) high. Air is drawn in through the top of the unit. Downflow units also
include a static regain duct which increases performance and efficiency while
reducing noise level.
Upflow units discharge air into either a plenum or ductwork. These units are
suitable for areas with raised floors less than 12" (300 mm) high. Air is drawn
in through the front on the standard design or optionally from the rear of the
unit.
Control The microprocessor controller provides advanced integrated system
operation and management ensuring simple, reliable and precise temperature
and humidity control.
