American Power Conversion AFX Series Humidifier User Manual


 
4 APC NetworkAIR AFX Series: Overview
Configuration Air-cooled. Unit used with an air-cooled condenser. Refrigerant lines must
be run between the indoor unit and the condenser. Air cooled units require
low maintenance and have low operating costs.
Configurations are:
Air-cooled with remote outdoor condenser.
Air-cooled with indoor floor mounted condenser.
Water-cooled. Unit used with a cooling tower or other source of water. Field
refrigeration piping is eliminated by a factory sealed and tested system. Water
piping to and from the unit is required.
Glycol-cooled. Unit used with a drycooler. The need for field refrigeration
piping is eliminated by a factory sealed and tested system. The glycol piping
is sealed, eliminating costly water treatment often encountered with open
cooling towers.
Remote-condensing. Unit used with a remote air-cooled condensing unit
which includes the compressor(s). This allows key maintenance procedures
to be located outside the critical environment helping eliminate access by
maintenance personnel in high security areas.
Front access The AFX Series has full service front access for routine servicing of
components. Front access also narrows the footprint of the unit making it
possible for units to be placed side by side.
Humidity control Humidity is managed through a self-contained steam canister humidifier for
maximum efficiency and ease of maintenance. Dehumidification control is
assured with a split evaporator coil which decreases the humidity level
without over-cooling the space, therefore reducing the need for electric
reheat.
Compliance The AFX Series has received agency approvals by ETL and MEA#223-99-E.
Electrical systems comply with NEC and UL 1995 standards.
