SECTION I

SPLIT TYPE AIR-CONDITIONERS

1. GENERAL

The quantity and capacity of split-type air conditioners shall be in accordance to the
“Schedule of Equipment”. The split type airconditioners offered shall be completely factory
assembled and matched in capacity between the aircooled condensing unit and the direct
expansion fan coil or air handling unit. Use of energy efficient air-conditioners certified
under the Singapore Energy Labelling Scheme. (with 4 ticks)

Refrigerant gas should be operated with HCFC or HFC refrigerant. The refrigerant used
shall be R410a.

2. AIR-COOLED CONDENSING UNITS

The air-cooled condensing units shall be designed for outdoor installation and shall be
weatherproof and corrosion resistance.

3. CABINET

The cabinet shall be constructed from steel of minimum 18 gauge casing with 16 gauge
base and specially treated for corrosion protection and finished with baked enamel paint.
No condensation should take place in the condensing units.

4. COMPRESSOR

The compressor shall be hermetic type and shall be mounted on suitable spring isolators in
a separate compartment of the cabinet. Unit shall be equipped with thermal and current
sensitive overload device to protect the compressor. Suction and discharge service valves
shall be provided with insulation.

5. CONDENSER

The air-cooled condenser shall be of copper tube type with mechanically bonded
aluminium fins.

6. CONDENSER FAN

The condenser fan shall be of propeller type statically and dynamically balanced and
directly coupled to a motor and protected by heavy gauge metal guard.

7. CONDENSER FAN MOTOR

The fan motor shall be of totally enclosed aircooled and weather-proof type with inherent
protection suitable for 240V/1 Phase/50 Hz or 400V/3 Phase/50 Hz. The motor bearings
shall be permanently lubricated type.

8. CONTROL AND PROTECTION

The control system shall be factory wired and consists of compressor starter compressor
motor overload protection, high-low pressure cutouts, fan motor relay, starting and running
capacitors, time delay relay to prevent compressor from frequent start/stop, control circuit
fuse and terminal blocks, all prewired and factory tested.

The air-cooled condensing unit shall be suitable for 230V/1 Phase/50 Hz or 400V/3
Phase/50 Hz electricity supply.

9. DIRECT EXPANSION FAN COIL OR AIR HANDLING UNIT

The fan coil or air handling units shall be of direct expansion type with capacities as stated
in the “Schedule of Equipment”.

The unit shall be suitable for installation on the floor, wall, ceiling exposed, ceiling cassette
or ceiling concealed type as shown in the drawing. Larger fan coil or air handling unit for
floor or ceiling conceal mounting shall be suitable for duct connection.

10. CABINET

The fan coil cabinet shall be of metal or PVC constructed and colour painted to high
standard finished. Supply air discharge grille shall be of deflection adjustable type for
horizontal and vertical deflection. The built-in return air grille shall be complete with
suitable air filter. The complete cabinet shall be adequately insulated to prevent
condensation. Larger ducted fan coil and air handling unit for floor mounting or ceiling
concealed type may not require the decorative supply air grilles but they shall be suitably
constructed for air duct connection.

11. COOLING COIL

The direct expansion cooling coil shall be of copper tubes with mechanically bonded
aluminium fins. Refrigerant expansion valve shall be fitted to the cooling coil distributor
and the expansion valve sensor bulb shall be strapped to the suction line for refrigerant
control. Condenser having more than one compressor shall have separate refrigerant
circuit for each compressor.

12. DRAIN PAN

Condensate drain pan shall be adequately insulated to prevent condensation. Drain tube
connection shall be provided at both ends of the pan with provision to plug off the
connection not in use.

13. FAN

The fan wheels shall be of centrifugal type double inlet double width forward curved blade
design and constructed of aluminium or plastic. The fan wheels shall be statically and
dynamically balanced. Fan housing shall be constructed of galvanised steel or plastic.

Fans for larger fan coil or air handling unit shall be capable of delivering the specified air
quantity against the static and frictional losses of equipment and air distribution system.

14. FAN MOTOR

The fan motor shall be three speed shaded pole type with permanent lubricated bearings,
built-in inherent overload protection with automatic reset. Motor shall be suitable for
230V/1 Phase/50 Hz electric supply. Motor for larger ducted fan coil or air handling unit
may be of TEFC type.

15. CONTROLS

The remote control unit for the fan coil shall consist of IC thermostat for precise
temperature control and a 3-speed switch for air volume control.

3 speed control switch may not be required for large ducted fan coil or air handling units.

16. NOISE LEVEL

All fan coil units shall be of low noise level type and the fan speed should not exceed 1450
rpm at high speed selection.

The noise level of the fan coil unit at high speed selection shall not exceed 42 dBA
measured from a position of 2 metres from the fan coil unit and supply air outlet.

All condensing units shall be of low noise level type not exceeding 58 dBA measures from
a position of 2 metres from the condensing unit.
