DocuSign Envelope ID: 9826C043- 4C32- 49CD- A4CC- DC28ABAB7CE7 <br />SECTION 238147 — DEDICATED OUTDOOR AIR SYSTEM <br />B. Daikin Applied UltraSeal low leak dampers shall be provided. Damper blades shall be fully gas - <br />keted and side sealed and arranged vertically in the hood. Damper leakage shall be less than 1.5 <br />CFM /Sq. Ft. of damper area at 1.0 inch static pressure differential. Leakage rate to be tested in ac- <br />cordance with AMCA Standard 500. Damper blades shall be operated from multiple sets of linkages <br />mounted on the leaving face of the dampers. Control of the dampers shall be from a factory installed <br />actuator. <br />C. Control of the outdoor dampers shall be by a factory installed actuator. Damper actuator shall be <br />of the modulating type. Damper to open when when supply fan starts, and close when supply fan <br />stops. <br />2.05 ENERGY RECOVERY <br />A. The rooftop unit shall be provided with an AHRI certified rotary wheel air -to -air heat exchanger in <br />a cassette frame complete with seals, drive motor and drive belt. The energy recovery wheel shall <br />be an integral part of the rooftop unit with unitary construction and does not require field assembly. <br />Bolt -on energy recovery units that require field assembly and section to section gasketing and seal- <br />ing are not acceptable. <br />B. The wheel capacity, air pressure drop and effectiveness shall be AHRI certified per AHRI Stand- <br />ard 1060. Thermal performance shall be certified by the manufacturer in accordance with ASHRAE <br />Standard 84, Method of Testing Air -to -Air Heat Exchangers and AHRI Standard 1060, Rating Air -to- <br />Air Heat Exchangers For Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment. <br />C. The rooftop unit shall be designed with a track so the entire energy recovery wheel cassette can <br />slide out from the rooftop unit to facilitate cleaning. <br />D. The unit shall have 2" Mery 7 filters for the outdoor air before the wheel to help keep the wheel <br />clean and reduce maintenance. Filter access shall be by a hinged access door with '/4 turn latches. <br />E. The matrix design shall have channels to reduce cross contamination between the outdoor air and <br />the exhaust air. The layers shall be effectively captured in aluminum and stainless steel segment <br />frames that provide a rigid and self- supporting matrix. All diameter and perimeter seals shall be pro- <br />vided as part of the cassette assembly and shall be factory set. Drive belt(s) of stretch urethane shall <br />be provided for wheel rim drive without the need for external tensioners or adjustment. <br />F. The total energy recovery wheel shall be coated with silica gel desiccant permanently bonded <br />without the use of binders or adhesives, which may degrade desiccant performance. The substrate <br />shall be lightweight polymer and shall not degrade nor require additional coatings for application in <br />marine or coastal environments. Coated segments shall be washable with detergent or alkaline coil <br />cleaner and water. Desiccant shall not dissolve nor deliquesce in the presence of water or high hu- <br />midity. <br />G. Wheels shall be provided with removable energy transfer matrix. Wheel frame construction shall <br />be a welded hub, spoke and rim assembly of stainless, plated and /or coated steel and shall be self - <br />supporting without matrix segments in place. Segments shall be removable without the use of tools <br />to facilitate maintenance and cleaning. <br />H. Wheel bearings shall be selected to provide an L -10 life in excess of 400,000 hours. Rim shall be <br />continuous rolled stainless steel. Wheels shall be connected to the shaft by means of taper lock <br />hubs. <br />I. The exhaust air fan shall be a direct drive SWSI plenum fan. The exhaust fan shall be sized for <br />the airflow requirements per the construction schedule. The unit controller shall control the exhaust <br />fan to maintain building pressure. A VFD shall be provided for the exhaust fan motor or the exhaust <br />fan motor shall be an ECM motor.The rooftop unit shall have single point electrical power connection <br />and shall be ETL listed. <br />J. The control of the energy recovery wheel shall be an integral part of the rooftop unit's DDC con- <br />troller. The DDC controller shall have visibility of the outdoor air temperature, leaving wheel temper- <br />ature, return air temperature, and exhaust air temperature. These temperatures shall be displayed <br />at the rooftop units DDC controller LCD display. All of these temperatures shall be made available <br />through the BACnet interface. <br />K. The rooftop unit with the energy recovery wheel shall incorporate the economizer operation. The <br />energy recovery wheel shall have a bypass damper. When the unit is in the economizer mode of <br />operation the energy recovery wheel shall stop and the bypass dampers shall be opened.
