RT-PRC031-EN 105
Mechanical Specifications
Economizer Control with
Comparative Enthalpy
Used with the fresh air economizer,
two enthalpy sensors are provided to
compare total heat content of the
indoor air and outdoor air to
determine the most efficient air
source when economizing.
Economizer Control with
Reference Enthalpy
Used with the fresh air economizer,
an outdoor enthalpy sensor is
provided to compare the total heat
content of outdoor air to a locally
adjustable setpoint. The setpoint is
programmed at the human interface,
or remote human interface, to
determine if the outdoor enthalpy
condition is suitable for economizer
operation.
Economizer Control with Dry
Bulb
Used with the fresh air economizer,
an outdoor temperature sensor is
included for comparing the outdoor
dry bulb temperature to a locally
adjustable temperature setpoint. The
setpoint is programmed at the
human interface, or remote human
interface, to determine if outdoor air
temperature is suitable for
economizer operation.
Heating System

All electric heat models shall be
completely assembled and have
wired electric heating system integral
within the air handler. Heavy duty
nickel chromium elements internally
wired with a maximum density of 40
watts per square inch shall be

shall be provided on 850, 1100
and 1800 MBH heat exchanger
units. Sixty second delay shall be
provided between first and
second stage gas valve operation
on two-stage heaters.
Continuous electronic flame
supervision shall be provided as
standard.
• Full Modulation Gas Heaters
shall be made from grades of
stainless steel suitable for
condensing conditions. The
heater shall have a turn down
ratio of at least 10 to 1 on the 850
and 20 to 1 on the 1100 and 1800
MBH
Steam Heating Option
Steam coils shall be Type NS with
non-freeze steam distribution
circuits. Distributor tubes shall be
located concentrically within
condensing tubes to assure even
steam distribution. Coils shall be
pitched to provide complete
drainage. Steam modulating valve
with actuator shall be provided.
Hot water Heating Option
Hot water coils shall be Type 5W and
factory mounted in the air handling
unit to provide complete drainage of
coil. Hot water modulating valve with
actuator shall be provided.
Accessories
Roof Mounting Curb
