DocuSign Envelope ID: 9826C043- 4C32- 49CD- A4CC- DC28ABAB7CE7 <br />SECTION 238147 — DEDICATED OUTDOOR AIR SYSTEM <br />ant circuit from ambient condition of 0- -120 °F. Mechanical cooling shall be provided to 25° F. The <br />motor shall include thermal overload protection and protect the motor in the case of excessive motor <br />temperatures. The motor shall have phase failure protection and prevent the motor from operation in <br />the event of a loss of phase. <br />D. The condenser fan shall be low noise blade design. Fan blade design shall be a dynamic profile <br />for low tip speed. Fan blade shall be of a composite material. <br />E. The unit shall have scroll compressors. One of the compressors shall be an inverter compressor <br />providing proportional control. The unit controller shall control the speed of the compressor to main- <br />tain the discharge air temperature. The inverter compressor shall have a separate oil pump and an <br />oil separator for each compressor that routes oil back to the compressor instead of through the dis- <br />charge line. <br />F. Pressure transducers shall be provided for the suction pressure and head pressure. Temperature <br />sensor shall be provided for the suction temperature and the refrigerant discharge temperature of the <br />compressors. All of the above devices shall be an input to the unit controller and the values be dis- <br />played at the unit controller. <br />G. Refrigerant circuit shall have a bypass valve between the suction and discharge refrigerant lines <br />for low head pressure compressor starting and increased compressor reliability. When there is a call <br />for mechanical cooling the bypass valve shall open to equalizing the suction and discharge pres- <br />sures. When pressures are equalized the bypass valve shall close and the compressor shall be al- <br />lowed to start. <br />H. Each circuit shall be dehydrated and factory charged with R-41 OA Refrigerant and oil. <br />2.014 ELECTRICAL <br />A. Unit wiring shall comply with NEC requirements and with all applicable UL standards. All electrical <br />components shall be UL recognized where applicable. All wiring and electrical components provided <br />with the unit shall be number and color -coded and labeled according to the electrical diagram pro- <br />vided for easy identification. The unit shall be provided with a factory wired weatherproof control <br />panel. Unit shall have a single point power terminal block for main power connection. A terminal <br />board shall be provided for low voltage control wiring. Branch short circuit protection, 115 -volt control <br />circuit transformer and fuse, system switches, and a high temperature sensor shall also be provided <br />with the unit. Each compressor and condenser fan motor shall be furnished with contactors and in- <br />herent thermal overload protection. Supply fan motors shall have contactors and external overload <br />protection. Knockouts shall be provided in the bottom of the main control panels for field wiring en- <br />trance. <br />B. A single non -fused disconnect switch shall be provided for disconnecting electrical power at the <br />unit. Disconnect switches shall be mounted internally to the control panel and operated by an exter- <br />nally mounted handle. <br />2.015 CONTROLS <br />A. Provide a complete integrated microprocessor based Direct Digital Control (DDC) system to con- <br />trol all unit functions including temperature control, scheduling, monitoring, unit safety protection, in- <br />cluding compressor minimum run and minimum off times, and diagnostics. This system shall consist <br />of all required temperature sensors, pressure sensors, controller and keypad /display operator inter- <br />face, programming / sequence, etc.. All MCBs and sensors shall be factory mounted, wired and test- <br />ed. <br />B. The stand -alone DDC controllers shall not be dependent on communications with any on -site or <br />remote PC or master control panel for proper unit operation. The microprocessor shall maintain ex- <br />isting set points and operate stand alone if the unit loses either direct connect or network communi- <br />cations. The microprocessor memory shall be protected from voltage fluctuations as well as any ex- <br />tended power failures. All factory and user set schedules and control points shall be maintained in <br />nonvolatile memory. No settings shall be lost, even during extended power shutdowns. <br />C. The DDC control system shall permit starting and stopping of the unit locally or remotely. The <br />control system shall be capable of providing a remote alarm indication. The unit control system shall <br />provide for outside air damper actuation, emergency shutdown, remote heat enable /disable, remote <br />cool enable /disable, heat indication, cool indication, and fan operation. <br />Reece, Noland & McElrath, Inc. 238147-6 Orange County Board of Elections <br />Orange Co., NC 05/04/18 <br />
