APPLICATION DATA
1.
CONDENSATE DRAIN PAN —
A sloped condensate drain
pan is supplied on all units. The condensate drain pan must
be externally trapped. Condensate drains are located on
both the bottom and end of the unit. The bottom drain can
be used for thru-the-curb connections.
2.
DUCTWORK —
All ductwork must be attached to flanges. If
no flanges are present, they must be field supplied. Secure
vertical discharge ductwork to roof curb. For horizontal dis-
charge applications, attach ductwork to flanges. Field-
supplied flanges can be attached to horizontal discharge
openings and all ductwork attached to flanges.
3.
THRU-THE-BOTTOM SERVICE CONNECTIONS —
Thru-
the-bottom connections allow field power wires and control
wires to enter through the basepan.
4.
THERMOSTAT —
Use of 2-stage cooling thermostat is
recommended for all units equipped with economizer.
5.
HEATING-TO-COOLING CHANGEOVER —
All units are
automatic changeover from heating to cooling when auto-
matic changeover thermostat and subbase are used.
6.
AIRFLOW —
Units are draw-thru on cooling and blow-thru
on heating.
7.
MAXIMUM AIRFLOW —
To minimize possibility of conden-
sate blow-off from evaporator, airflow through units should
not exceed 500 cfm/ton.
8.
MINIMUM AIRFLOW —
Minimum airflow for cooling is
300 cfm/ton for unit sizes 036-240, 280 cfm/ton for size 300.
9.
MINIMUM AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE —
Minimum operating temperature for standard 036-150 units
is 25 F, for standard 155-300 units is 40 F. With accessory
Motormaster® or Motormaster IV control, units can operate
at outdoor temperatures down to 20 F.
10.
MAXIMUM OPERATING OUTDOOR-AIR TEMPERATURE
Maximum outdoor-air operating temperature for cooling
is 125 F (115 F for 558F036-150 units).
11.
MOTOR DATA —
Due to Bryants internal unit design (draw-
thru over the motor), air path, and specially designed
motors, the full horsepower (maximum continuous bhp)
listed in the Physical Data table and in each Fan Perfor-
mance table can be utilized with extreme confidence.
Using Bryant motors to the values listed in the Physical
Data, Fan Performance, and Evaporator-Fan Motor Data
tables
will not
result in nuisance tripping or premature motor
failure. In addition, the unit warranty will not be affected.
12.
PERFECT HUMIDITY™ DEHUMIDIFICATION PACKAGE
This option provides greater dehumidification by further
subcooling the hot liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser
coil. The Perfect Humidity package consists of a subcooling
coil located on the leaving-air side of the evaporator coil.
The location of the coil in the indoor airstream enhances the
latent capacity of the rooftop units by up to 40%.
Many buildings suffer damage or have poor indoor-air qual-
ity due to overly humid conditions. Building humidity must
be controlled for the following reasons:
a.
INDOOR-AIR QUALITY —
Humidity is a major factor in
the growth and propagation of mold and mildew in a
building. The mold and mildew can spread quickly and
grow in carpets and ductwork and on walls, and often
causes cases of sick building syndrome. This syndrome
can lead to employee absenteeism due to illness, lower
worker productivity, and increased health care costs. The
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Con-
ditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends that relative
humidity levels in buildings be maintained below 70%.
b.
COMFORT LEVELS —
High humidity levels cause the
occupied space to become uncomfortable, because
humidity interferes with the bodys natural cooling pro-
cess (evaporation at the skin surface).
Concentric Duct Distribution —
Unit Sizes 155-300
NOTE:
1. Do not drill in this area, damage to basepan may result in
water leak.
2. A 90-degree elbow must be provided in the supply ductwork
to comply with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) codes for use
with electric heat.
