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 prevent coil assembly from con- tacting sheet metal coil pan to maintain coating integ- rity 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 with 2-stage capability.

2.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.

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

4.All gas piping shall enter the unit at a single location.

5.Stainless steel heat exchanger shall be available.

G.Refrigerant Components:

Each refrigerant circuit shall include:

1.Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) with removable power element.

2.Filter driers.

3.Gage port and connections on suction and discharge.

H.Filter Section:

Standard filter section shall consist of factory-installed 2-in. thick throwaway fiberglass filters.

I.Controls and Safeties:

1.Electro-Mechanical Control:

a.Economizer control (optional).

b.Capacity control (2-step).

c.Unit shall be complete with self-contained low- voltage control circuit.

2.Safeties:

a.Unit shall incorporate a solid-state compressor lockout which provides optional reset capability at the space thermostat, should any of the following safety devices trip and shut off compressor:

1)Compressor lockout protection provided for either internal or external overload.

2)Low-pressure protection.

3)Freeze protection (evaporator coil).

4)High-pressure protection (high pressure switch or internal).

b.Induced draft heating section shall be provided with the following minimum protections:

1)High-temperature limit switch.

2)Induced-draft motor speed sensor.

3)Flame rollout switch.

4)Flame proving controls.

5)Redundant gas valve.

J.Operating Characteristics:

1.Unit shall be capable of starting and running at 125 F ambient outdoor temperature per maximum load criteria of ARI Standard 360.

2.Unit with standard controls will operate in cooling down to an outdoor ambient temperature of 40 F.

3.Size 18 and 20 ton units shall have 3 fully indepen- dent refrigerant circuits to allow for 33% capacity per circuit.

K.Electrical Requirements:

All unit power wiring shall enter unit cabinet at a single location.

L.Motors:
