Operation: Options for Fluid-Cooled Modules

Valve Types

Path: Main > Setup > System # > System Config > Valve Types

Set the type of valves installed in your piping system. Each valve can be either two-way or three-way. Economizer-equipped Systems use three-way valves.

Flow Switch. Set the location of the optional flow switch in this System. The flow switch detects whether there is adequate liquid coolant (water) flow to maintain coil operation.

The Flow Switch setting indicates where the flow switch is installed:

DX, for the liquid line entering the heat exchanger (to maintain head pressure in DX Systems)

Multi, for the chilled water input to the MultiCool coil or chilled water coil (Systems using chilled water only)

None, for air-cooled Modules with no MultiCool coil

Cndsr Vlv. The condenser fluid valve controls the flow of coolant into the heat exchanger or to the Economizer coil in direct expansion. Set the condenser fluid valve as either a two- or three-way valve.

Coil Fluid. The coil fluid valve controls the flow of coolant to the MultiCool, Chilled Water, or Economizer coil. Set the coil fluid valve as either a two- or three-way valve, depending on the configuration.

Actuator Types

Path: Main > Setup > System # > System Config > Actuator Types

Cndsr Vlv. Set the type of condenser valve actuator as Floating or None. The condenser valve is not present in In-row Modules.

Floating Control maintains the position of the valve when the power is off.

None indicates that no condenser valve is installed. Air-cooled Systems with no external water piping do not require a condenser valve actuator.

Coil Fluid. Set the Coil Fluid valve actuator to Floating, Spr Anlg, or None.

Floating Control maintains the position of the valve when the power is off.

Spring (Return) Analog closes the valve when the power is off.

None indicates that the Module does not have a MultiCool, Chilled Water, or Economizer coil.

Central Air Conditioning System specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) is renowned for delivering innovative solutions in the realm of power management, but its contributions don't stop there. The company has also made significant advancements in central air conditioning systems. Featuring cutting-edge technologies and energy-efficient designs, their HVAC systems are tailored to meet modern needs while ensuring comfort and sustainability.

One of the standout features of APC central air conditioning systems is their variable speed compressor technology. This advanced system operates at different speeds rather than just cycling on and off. By adjusting the compressor speed to match the cooling demand, these systems optimize energy consumption, leading to lower electricity bills and extended equipment lifespan.

APC's systems also incorporate smart thermostat capabilities, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their air conditioning remotely. Through a mobile app, users can adjust temperature settings, create schedules, and receive maintenance alerts, all of which enhance convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, these smart thermostats can learn user habits over time, automatically adjusting temperature settings to maximize comfort and savings.

Another key characteristic of APC central air conditioning systems is their commitment to eco-friendly refrigerants. Utilizing low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, these systems minimize the environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards. With energy efficiency ratings that often exceed industry benchmarks, APC systems contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and help homeowners adopt sustainable practices.

The design of APC air conditioning units is also noteworthy. They are constructed with durable materials that withstand various weather conditions, ensuring reliability during the hottest months. Additionally, the streamlined design of these systems enhances aesthetic appeal, making them a suitable choice for modern homes.

In conclusion, the American Power Conversion central air conditioning system exemplifies the synergy of innovative technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. With variable speed compressors, smart controls, eco-friendly refrigerants, and robust construction, APC provides homeowners with a dependable and sustainable climate control solution. As demand for energy-efficient products continues to grow, APC is poised to lead the way in intelligent air conditioning solutions that prioritize both comfort and environmental responsibility.
