a.Fan shall be belt driven. Belt drive shall include an adjustable pulley. The standard fan drive shall have a factory-installed low-medium external static pressure capable fan drive. The alternate fan drive option shall have a factory-installed external high static pressure capable fan drive.

b.Fan wheel shall be made from steel with a corrosion-resistant finish. It shall be a dynamically balanced, double-inlet type with forward-curved blades.

2.Condenser fans shall be of the direct-driven propeller type, with corrosion-resistant blades riveted to corrosion-resistant steel supports. They shall be dynamically balanced and discharge air upwards.

3.Induced-draft blower shall be of the direct-driven, single inlet, forward-curved, centrifugal type. It shall be made from steel with a corrosion-resistant finish and shall be dynamically balanced.

D.Compressor(s):

1.Fully hermetic, scroll type, internally protected.

2.Factory spring-shock mounted and internally spring mounted for vibration isolation.

3.On electrically and mechanically independent refrig- erant circuits.

4.All compressors shall have 70 W crankcase heaters.

E.Coils:

579F/580F/581A155-300

Each unit shall be a factory assembled, single-piece heat- ing and cooling unit. Contained within the unit enclosure shall be all factory wiring, piping, controls, refrigerant charge (R-22), and special features required prior to field start-up.

B.Unit Cabinet:

1.Constructed of galvanized steel (G90 — 1.8 oz. of zinc per square foot of sheet metal), bonderized and primer-coated on both sides and coated with a baked polyester thermosetting powdercoating finish on the outer surface.

2.Indoor blower compartment interior surfaces shall be

insulated with a minimum 1/2-in. thick, 1 lb density fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass insulation shall be bonded with a thermosetting resin (8 to 12% by weight nominal, phenol formaldehyde typical), and coated with an acrylic or other material that meets the NFPA 90 flame retardance requirements and has an ‘‘R’’ Value of 3.70. Aluminum foil-faced fiber- glass insulation shall be used in the gas heat compartment.

1.Standard evaporator and condenser coils shall have aluminum plate fins mechanically bonded to seam- less internally grooved copper tubes with all joints brazed.

2.Coils shall be leak tested at 150 psig and pressure tested at 450 psig.

F.Heating Section:

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

2.a. The 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 exchangers shall be tubular-section design and shall be con- structed of a minimum 20 gage, 409 stainless steel.
