Corro- sion durability shall be confirmed through testing to be no less than 1000 hours salt spray per ASTM B117-90. Coil construction shall be alumi- num fins mechanically bonded to copper tubes.

d.E-Coated copper-fin coils shall have a flexible epoxy polymer coating uniformly applied to all coil surface areas without material bridging between fins. Coating process shall ensure complete coil encapsulation. Color shall be high gloss black with gloss — 60 deg of 65 to 90% per ASTM D523-89. Uniform dry film thickness from 0.8 to

1.2mil on all surface areas including fin edges. Superior hardness characteristics of 2H per ASTM D3363-92A and cross-hatch adhesion of 4B-5B per ASTM D3359-93. Impact resistance shall be up to 160 in.-lb (ASTM D2794-93). Humidity and water immersion resistance shall be up to minimum 1000 and 250 hours respectively (ASTM D2247-92 and ASTM D870-92). Corro- sion durability shall be confirmed through testing to be no less than 1000 hours salt spray per ASTM B117-90. Coil construction shall be copper fins mechanically bonded to copper tubes with copper tube sheets. Galvanized steel tube sheets shall not be acceptable. A polymer strip shall pre- vent coil assembly from contacting sheet metal coil pan to maintain coating integrity and minimize corrosion potential between coil and pan.

F.Heating Section:

1.Induced-draft combustion type with energy saving direct-spark ignition system and redundant main gas valve.

2.Heat Exchanger:

a.The standard heat exchanger shall be of the tubular-section type constructed of a minimum of 20-gage steel coated with a nominal 1.2 mil aluminum-silicone alloy for corrosion resistance.

b.The optional stainless steel heat exchanger shall be of the tubular-section type, constructed of a minimum of 20-gage type 409 stainless steel.

3.Burners shall be of the in-shot type constructed of aluminum-coated steel.

4.All gas piping shall enter the unit cabinet at a single location on side of unit (horizontal plane).

5.The integrated gas controller (IGC) board shall include gas heat operation fault notification using an LED (light-emitting diode).

6.Unit shall be equipped with anti-cycle protection with one short cycle on unit flame rollout switch or 4 con- tinuous short cycles on the high-temperature limit switch. Fault indication shall be made using an LED.

7.The IGC board shall contain algorithms that modify evaporator-fan operation to prevent future cycling on high-temperature limit switch.

8.The LED shall be visible without removal of control box access panel.

G.Refrigerant Components:

Refrigerant circuit components shall include:

1.Fixed orifice metering system.

2.Refrigerant filter drier.

3.Service gage connections on suction, discharge, and liquid lines.

H.Filter Section:

1.Standard filter section shall consist of factory- installed, low velocity, throwaway 2-in. thick fiberglass filters of commercially available sizes.

2.Filter face velocity shall not exceed 320 fpm at nomi- nal airflows.

3.Filter section should use only one size filter.

4.Filters shall be accessible through an access panel with “no-tool” removal.

I.Controls and Safeties:

1.Unit Controls:

Unit shall be complete with self-contained low-volt- age control circuit protected by a fuse on the 24-v transformer side (090-150 units have a resettable circuit breaker).

2.Safeties:

a.Unit shall incorporate a solid-state compressor protector which provides anti-cycle reset capabil- ity at the space thermostat, should any of the fol- lowing standard safety devices trip and shut off compressor.

1)Compressor overtemperature, overcurrent.

2)Loss-of-charge/low-pressure switch.

3)Freeze-protection thermostat, evaporator coil.

4)High-pressure switch.

5)Automatic reset motor thermal overload protector.

The lockout protection shall be easily discon- nected at the control board, if necessary.
