The building automation system can interact with one or more
rooftop unit controllers in any of the following ways:
• Sets the unit’s operating and occupancy modes.
• Monitors all controller inputs, outputs, set points,
parameters, and alarms.
• Sets controller set points and parameters.
• Clears alarms.
• Resets the cooling discharge air temperature set points (VAV
units).
• Resets the duct static pressure set point (VAV units).
• Sets the heat/cool changeover temperature.
• Sets the representative zone temperature (CAV-ZTC units).
DDC Unit Controller
The DDC controller contains a microprocessor that is
preprogrammed with the software necessary to control the
unit. This can keep schedules, set points and parameters from
being lost, even during a 48-hour power outage. The
microprocessor board processes system input data and then
determines and controls output responses.

Unit Sensors
Temperature and Enthalpy Sensors
The return, discharge, and outside air temperature sensors are
factory installed. The zone temperature sensor package can be
ordered as a field installed option.
Zone Temperature Sensors
Two optional zone temperature sensors are available:
1 Zone sensor with tenant override.
2 Zone sensor with tenant override and remote set point
adjustment.
Timed tenant override is a standard MicroTech III control
feature.
Zone sensors are required for the controller's space reset of
supply air set point and night setback features. All zone
sensors are field installed with field wiring terminated at the
unit controller.
The optional comparative enthalpy control economizer
package is provided with the enthalpy sensor for the return air
and outside air factory installed.
Static Pressure Transducers
When the Daikin Packaged System is ordered with the
VAV option, the duct static pressure transducer is factory
installed as standard. The units can also have an exhaust fan
option. The exhaust fans on VAV units are controlled by the
building static pressure control package. The exhaust fans on
CAV units are controlled by either the building static pressure
control package as mentioned above, or they are controlled by
the DDC program based on the outside air damper position.
The static pressure transducers are factory installed when
building static pressure control is ordered. The installation and
routing of the field-supplied sampling tubes is done at the time
of the unit installation.
Stand-Alone Controller Features
MicroTech III rooftop unit controls include all of the essential
features required to make them capable of independent and
stand-alone operation.
Auto/Manual Operation Selection
Automatic or manual operation can be controlled at the
keypad. The keypad provides a variety of occupancy and auto/
manual control mode selections available to the operator:
Occupancy Modes Control Modes
Auto Off Manual
Occupied Auto or Heat/Cool
Unoccupied Cool Only
Heat Only
Bypass (tenant override)
Fan Only
Daikin CAT 250-8
MicroTech III Unit Controls
Cooling and Heating Lockout Control
All unit controls include separate keypad-programmable set
points for locking out mechanical cooling and heating.
Mechanical cooling is locked out when the outdoor
temperature is below the cooling lockout set point. Heating is
locked out when the outdoor temperature is above the heating
lockout set point. This feature can save energy cost by
eliminating unnecessary heating and cooling during periods
when the outdoor air temperature is mild.
Night/Unoccupied Setback
When one of the zone temperature sensors is connected to the
unit controller, night setback heating control and night setback
cooling control are available. Separate, keypad-programmable,
night heating and night cooling set points are used to start the
unit when necessary. After the unit starts, night setback control
is similar to normal occupied control except that the minimum
outside air damper position is set to zero. If the outside air is
suitable for free cooling, it is used during night setback
operation.
Internal Time Clock
An internal time clock is included in the MicroTech III unit
controller. Current date and time can be quickly and easily set
at the user interface keypad.
Internal Schedule
Seven daily schedules and holiday schedules can be entered at
the keypad of all unit controllers. For each of these eight
schedules, one start and one stop time can be entered. Up to 16
holiday periods of any duration can be designated. The unit
will automatically run according to the holiday schedule on the
holiday dates.
In lieu of its internal schedule, the unit can be operated
according to a network schedule from a BAS.
External Time Clock or Tenant Override Input
An input is supplied that can be used to accept a field wired
start/stop signal from a remote source. An external time clock,
a tenant override switch, or both may be connected. Whenever
the external circuit is closed, the controller overrides the
internal schedule (if activated) and places the unit into the
occupied mode.
If the internal schedule or a BAS network schedule is used,
field wiring is not required.
17
MicroTech III Unit Controls
Timed Tenant Override
Off-hour operation flexibility is a must in today's office
environments and the stand-alone MicroTech III controls
handle it with ease. When unit operation is desired during
unoccupied hours the tenant override button on either of the
optional zone sensor packages is pressed to initiate the
override operation. The unit then starts and runs in the
occupied mode for a keypad-adjustable length of time (up to
five hours). If the button is pressed again while the unit is
operating, the timer resets to the full time allowance without
interrupting unit operation. Tenant override operation can also
be initiated by a BAS.
Remote Set Point Adjustment Options
All constant air volume-zone temperature control (CAV-ZTC)
unit controllers include an input that can be used to remotely
adjust the zone cooling and heating set points. To use this
feature, wire the optional zone sensor package with set point
adjustment to the controller. The remote set point adjustment
feature can be enabled or disabled from the keypad at any
time. When enabled, the remote set point adjustment is
available even if the return temperature is selected to be the
control temperature.
The building automation system (BAS) can also remotely
adjust the unit's setpoints.
Standard Control Options
MicroTech controls offer two basic control configurations; (1)
variable air volume with discharge temperature control (VAV-
DTC) or (2) constant air volume with zone temperature control
(CAV-ZTC).
All control configurations use sophisticated state change
control logic to provide stable, reliable and efficient control.
When combined with MicroTech's many available control
capabilities–both factory installed and keypad programmable–
these basic configurations can be customized to meet the
requirements of the most demanding applications.
Configuration 1: Variable Air Volume with Discharge
Temperature Control (VAV-DTC)
MicroTech VAV-DTC controls provide discharge air
temperature control along with duct static pressure control.
The operator can enter the desired cooling set point and VAV
parameters at the keypad.
Configuration 2: Constant Air Volume with Zone
Temperature Control (CAV-ZTC)
MicroTech CAV-ZTC controls provide the sophisticated and
flexible zone temperature control that is only possible with
DDC systems. Zone temperature sensors are available with or
without a remote set point adjustment. With the remote
adjustment model, the space set point can be set at the keypad
or at the zone sensor package. (Even if a zone sensor is
connected, remote set point adjustment can be enabled or
disabled as desired at the keypad.)
18
Control Temperature
The Control Temperature for VAV-DTC or CAV-ZTC
determines whether the unit supplies heating, cooling, or
neither. It also determines the amount of heating or cooling
required to satisfy the load. Its source can be selected at the
keypad from among the following selections:
• Zone temperature sensor.
• Return temperature sensor.
Supply Air Reset
By automatically varying the discharge air temperature to suit
a building's cooling or heating needs, supply air temperature
reset can increase the energy efficiency of VAV systems.
MicroTech controllers offer a variety of different reset
strategies that can be selected at the keypad. Because they are
keypad-programmable, reset strategies can be changed or
eliminated as desired. Separate strategies can be selected for
both cooling and heating. If reset is not desired, a fixed
discharge cooling or heating set point can be entered.
The following reset methods are available:
• Space temperature.
• Return temperature.
• Outdoor air temperature.
• Supply airflow (VAV, cooling set point only).
• External 0–10 V (dc) or 0–20 mA signal.
• Network communication.
For all temperature reset methods, the minimum and maximum
cooling and heating set points are keypad programmable along
with the corresponding minimum and maximum space, return
or outdoor air temperature parameters. For the supply airflow
method, the discharge set point will be reset as the supply fan
modulates between 30% (adjustable) and 100% (adjustable).
For the external method, the discharge set point will be reset as
the voltage or current signal varies over its entire range. For
units in a BAS network, the discharge set points are reset via
the communication signal.
Compressor Control
Compressor Staging
Compressor staging is controlled directly by the control
temperature. When the control temperature is warmer than the
cooling set point, cooling is staged up; when the control
temperature is cooler than the cooling set point, cooling is
staged down. However, a stage change can only occur when
the control temperature is outside the dead band. Staging is
constrained by an inter-stage delay timer (five minute default
setting) and minimum and maximum discharge air temperature
limits (all keypad programmable). These constraints protect
the compressors from short cycling while eliminating
temperature variations near the diffusers.
Daikin CAT 250-8

Project Ahead Algorithm
Because of the inherent thermal inertia in a building, zone
temperature control applications can cause overshoot during
warm-up or cool-down periods, MicroTech features a “Project
Ahead” control algorithm. “Project Ahead” calculates the rate
at which the control temperature is changing and reduces the
unit's cooling or heating output as the zone temperature nears
its set point, essentially eliminating overshoot.
Energy Recovery Control
The energy recovery wheel option has integrated control with
the units DDC controller. Temperature sensors are mounted at
the wheel to coordinate its operation with the rooftop unit.
The outdoor air temperature, leaving wheel temperature, return
air temperature, and exhaust air temperature are connected to
the rooftop unit controller. These temperatures are also
available as BACnet variables for the BAS integration option.
The operational performance of the wheel and unit is
maximized with this integrated control. The benefit of the
integrated control is that it will montior the leaving wheel
temperature and prevent the wheel operation from overheating
the outdoor air, which will force the building into the cooling
mode of operation and consume more energy.
Frost control can be provided by a number of options. The
standard offering for frost protection is to stop the wheel when
a frost condition is encountered. The second option is to have
the start-stop-jog control to prevent the wheel from reaching a
frost condition. The third option for frost control is VFD
proportional control. The speed of the wheel is varied to
prevent the wheel from entering a frost condition. This option
maximizes the amount of energy savings and also prevents the
frost condition.
Supply Fan Control
Duct Static Pressure Control
On all VAV-DTC units, duct static pressure control is
maintained by a control algorithm which provides precise
control of the supply fan variable frequency drive. The keypad
programmable set point can be set between 0.20" wc and 2.00"
wc.
Economizer Control
Economizer Changeover Selection
On units equipped with an economizer, there are two methods
of determining whether the outdoor air is suitable for free
cooling.
• The standard offering uses an internal dry bulb changeover
strategy: the unit controller compares the outdoor air dry-
bulb temperature to a keypad-programmable set point.
• The optional second method is a comparative enthalpy
control. It uses a solid state device that compares the outdoor
Daikin CAT 250-8
MicroTech III Unit Controls
air ambient enthalpy to the return air enthalpy. When the
outdoor air enthalpy is lower than the return air enthalpy, the
unit will change to economizer operation.
Minimum Ventilation Air Volume Control
Consistently maintaining the minimum outdoor air
requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62 has been a long-
standing control challenge for VAV systems. As supply air fan
volumes were reduced, the volume of air introduced through a
fixed-position, minimum outdoor air damper was also reduced,
compromising indoor air quality. To meet this challenge,
MicroTech controls feature user-selected control methods for
maintaining outdoor air volume.
MicroTech controls have a keypad-selected control function
that automatically adjusts outdoor air damper position in
response to changes in supply air fan volume. Regardless of
supply air volume, this strategy maintains a nearly constant
outdoor air volume at all times.
The outdoor air damper position can also be controlled by the
following:
• The MicroTech controller can accept an external 0–10 V
(dc) or a 0–20 mA signal from a control device or from a
CO2 sensor.
• The MicroTech controller can accept a BAS network signal
for the minimum position.
• A fixed minimum damper position can be keypad
programmed. This selection may be acceptable when
ventilation requirements are met through other sources.
During cold ambient conditions where the mixed air
temperature of the minimum outdoor air and the return air can
become too low, MicroTech controls maintain the minimum
discharge temperature set point by controlling the unit's
heating system.
Exhaust Fan Control
Building Static Pressure Control
Any constant or variable air volume Maverick unit with an
optional variable volume exhaust fan can be provided with
direct building static pressure control capability. The building
static pressure is measured and processed by the unit DDC
controller. The controller provides precise control of the
exhaust fan's variable speed drive to maintain the space
pressure set point. The range of the keypad-programmable set
point is between –0.25 and +0.25" wc.
Field Output Signals
All MicroTech controls include two solid-state relay outputs
that are available for field connection to any suitable device: a
remote alarm output and a fan operation output. These outputs
are used to signal field equipment of unit status.

Application Considerations
General Rooftop Applications
Units are intended for use in normal heating, ventilating, and
air conditioning applications. Consult your local Daikin sales
representative for applications involving operation at high
ambient temperatures, high altitudes, non-cataloged voltages,
and for job specific unit selections that fall outside of the
range of the catalog tables.
For proper operation, units should be rigged in accordance
with instructions stated in IM 842. Fire dampers, if required,
must be installed in the ductwork according to local or state
codes. No space is allowed for these dampers in the unit.
Follow factory check, test and start procedures explicitly to
achieve satisfactory start-up and operation (see IM 842).
Most rooftop applications take advantage of the significant
energy savings provided with economizer operation. When an
economizer system is used, mechanical refrigeration is
typically not required below an ambient temperature of 50°F.
Standard MPS refrigeration systems are designed to operate in
ambient temperatures down to 20°F for 15–50 ton units or
45°F for 62–75 ton units.
Figure 13: MPS 015–075 Service Clearances (030 Shown)
Daikin CAT 250-8
Application Considerations
Unit Location
The structural engineer must verify that the roof has adequate
strength and ability to minimize deflection. Take extreme
caution when using a wooden roof structure.
Unit condenser coils should be located to avoid contact with
any heated exhaust air.. If the unit is located in a corrosive
environment, such as near the sea coast or industrial fumes,
then, optional coated condenser coils are required.
Allow sufficient space around the unit for maintenance/service
clearance. Refer to Figure 13 for recommended clearances.
Consult your Daikin sales representative if available
clearances do not meet minimum recommendations. Where
code considerations, such as the NEC, require extended
clearances, they take precedence.
Service Clearance
Allow recommended service clearances as shown in Figure 13.
Provide a roof walkway along the sides of the unit for service
and access to controls and components. Contact your Daikin
sales representative for service requirements less than those
recommended.
21
Application Considerations
Curb Installation
The roof curb is field assembled and must be installed level
(within 1/16" per foot side to side). A sub-base has to be
constructed by the contractor in applications involving pitched
roofs. Gaskets are furnished and must be installed between the
unit and curb. For proper installation, follow NRCA
guidelines. Typical curb installation is illustrated in Figure 52,
page 66 and Figure 61, page 75. In applications requiring post
and rail installation, an I-beam securely mounted on multiple
posts should support the unit on each side. In addition the
insulation on the underside of the unit should also be protected
from the elements.
Applications in geographic areas subjected to seismic or
hurricane conditions must meet code requirements for
fastening the unit to the curb and the curb to the building
structure.
Acoustical Considerations
Good acoustical design is critical for any installation and
should start at the earliest stages in the design process.
Common sound paths for rooftop equipment must be
addressed are:
• Radiated sound through the bottom of the unit (air handling
section and condensing section) and into the space.
• Radiated sound to the property line.
• Structure-borne vibration from the unit to the building.
• Airborne sound through the supply air duct.
• Airborne sound through the return air duct.
Locating rooftop equipment away from sound sensitive areas
is critical and the most cost effective means of avoiding sound
problems. If possible, rooftop equipment should always be
located over less sensitive areas such as corridors, toilet
facilities or auxiliary spaces and away from office areas,
conference rooms and classrooms.
Some basic guidelines for good acoustical performance are:
• Provide proper structural support under all areas of the unit.
• Always locate the unit's center of gravity close to a main
support to minimize roof deflection.
• Use a concrete deck or pad when a unit has to be located
over an occupied space where good acoustics are essential.
• Only the supply and return air ducts should penetrate the
acoustical material and decking within the curb perimeter,
and the openings must be sealed once the duct is installed.
• Don't overlook the return air path. Never leave a clear “line
of sight” into a return or exhaust fan; always include some
duct work (acoustically lined tee) at the return inlet.
• Place an acoustical material in the area directly beneath the
condensing section.
• Select acoustical material that discourages microbial growth.
22
• Minimize system static pressure losses to reduce fan sound
generation.
• Design duct systems to minimize turbulence.
• Account for low frequency duct breakout in system design.
Route the first 20 ft. of rectangular duct over non-sensitive
areas and avoid large duct aspect ratios. Consider round or
oval duct to reduce breakout.
There are many sound sources in rooftop systems. Fans,
compressors, condenser fans, duct take-offs, etc., all generate
sound. For guidelines on reducing sound generation in the duct
system, refer to the ASHRAE Applications Handbook.
Contact your local Daikin sales representative for equipment
supply, return and radiated sound power data specific to
your application.
Ductwork Considerations
A well-designed duct system is required to allow the rooftop
equipment to provide rated performance and to minimize
system resistance and sound generation. Duct connections to
and from units should allow straight, smooth airflow
transitions. Avoid any abrupt change in duct size and sharp
turns in the fan discharge. Avoid turns opposed to wheel
rotation since they generate air turbulence and result in
unwanted sound. If 90° turns are necessary, use turning vanes.
Refer to the ASHRAE Applications Handbook for specific
guidelines relevant to rooftop equipment.
Return Duct
The return path is the most often overlooked. A section of
return duct is required to avoid a “line of sight” to the return
air opening and to provide attenuation of return air sound.
Install an insulated tee with a maximum duct velocity of 1000
to 1200 feet per minute. Extend the duct 15 feet to provide
adequate attenuation.
Supply Duct
Insulate supply air ductwork for at least the first 20 feet from
the unit. Consider the use of round or oval ductwork, as it
significantly reduces low frequency breakout noise near the
equipment. If rectangular duct is used, keep the aspect ratio of
the duct as low as possible. The large flat surfaces associated
with high aspect ratios increase low frequency breakout to the
space and can generate noise, such as “oil canning.” The
maximum recommended supply duct velocity is 1800 to 2000
feet per minute.
Duct High Limit
A Daikin Packaged System with VAV control includes a duct
high limit switch as a standard feature that is of particular
importance when fast acting, normally closed boxes are used.
Vibration Isolation
Make duct attachments to the unit with a flexible connection.
Daikin CAT 250-8
 Application Considerations
Economizer and Exhaust Fan Application Figure 14: Variable Air Volume (VAV) Control

Rooftop economizer applications usually require exhaust fans

to properly control building pressure and maintain minimum
ventilation.
The air balancer must adjust the outdoor air damper to provide
minimum ventilation settings.
The EAF is normally off during non-economizer operation.
During these minimum outdoor air conditions, the system
essentially acts like a supply fan only system.

Smoke and Fire Protection

Due to the wide variation in building design and ambient
operating conditions into which our units are applied, we do
not represent or warrant that our products are fit and sufficient
for smoke, fume, and fire control purposes. The owner and a
fully qualified building designer are responsible for meeting
all local and NFPA building code requirements with respect to
smoke, fume, and fire control.
The unit's control panel has a terminal block that a supply air
and return air smoke detector can be wired to. An optional
return air smoke detector is offered. Any other smoke detector,
its installation, and the wiring to the unit controller are all field
supplied.
Variable Air Volume Application
In placing a duct static pressure sensor, locate a pressure tap
near the end of the main duct trunk. Adjust the static pressure
set point so that at minimum airflow all of the terminals
receive the minimum static pressure required plus any
downstream resistance. Locate the static pressure sensor tap in
the ductwork in an area free from turbulence effects and at
least ten duct diameters downstream and several duct
diameters upstream from any major interference, including
branch takeoffs.

MPS units are available with variable speed drives to provide
variable air volume (VAV) control as shown in Figure 14.
Daikin MPS variable air volume systems (VAV) employ the
concept of varying the air quantity to a space at a constant
temperature, thereby balancing the heat gains or losses and
maintaining the desired room temperature. This ability to
reduce supply air quantities not only provides substantial fan
energy savings at partial load conditions, but it also
minimizes equipment sizing.
Variable volume systems offer the following advantages:
• Lower system first cost by using system diversity to reduce
equipment and duct sizes.
• Lower operating costs by reducing fan energy demands,
especially at part load conditions.
• Acoustical sound performance is reduced at the lower
airflows.
Fan Isolation
All Daikin MPS systems feature internally isolated fans. All
supply fans are statically and dynamically balanced in the
factory. 15–50 ton unit springs have 1" deflection and 62–75
ton unit springs have 2" deflection. Flexible isolation is
provided as standard between the fan and bulkhead to prevent
hard contact and vibration transmission.
When using an isolation curb, consult with the curb
manufacturer to confirm no resonant vibration situation can
occur between the fan and roof curb.
Normally, 15–50 ton unit springs are left in the tied down
position. Optional rubber and shear isolators should be ordered
for 62–75 ton units.

Condensate Drainage
Provide all drain pans with a properly sized p-trap to allow
free drainage of coil condensate. For trap sizing, follow
instruction given in IM 842. Run all traps and drain lines full
size from the threaded unit connection to the roof drain.
Zone Sensor Placement
Placement of the zone temperature sensor is critical for proper
and economical operation of the heating and cooling system. It
is generally recommended that the space sensor be located on
an inside wall (3 to 5 feet from an outside wall) in a space
having a floor area of at least 400 square feet. Do not locate
the sensor below the outlet of a supply diffuser, in the direct
rays of the sun, on a wall adjacent to an unheated or
abnormally warm room (boiler or incinerator room), or near
any heat producing equipment. Where zone sensor placement
is a problem, all zone control systems, as standard, have the
capability to use a return air sensor for heating and cooling.
Unit Wiring
All units require three phase, 60 Hz, 208, 230, 460, or 575 volt
power supply. All units include branch circuits and short
circuit protection and are available with a power block or non-
fused disconnect switch. Each unit is provided with a 115 V
convenience outlet. Per the NEC, this circuit must be fed
independent of the main unit power supply.
All wiring must be installed in accordance with the National
Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.
Daikin CAT 250-8
Application Considerations
Winter Shipment
Flat bed shipment in winter can expose units to harsh road
chemicals. Since equipment size and configuration precludes
covering during transit, wash units free of these chemicals as
soon as possible to help prevent corrosion.
Coil Freeze Protection
When applying roof-mounted equipment in areas that
experience subfreezing conditions, coil freeze protection
measures must be provided. Subfreezing temperatures can
adversely affect water and steam coils during controlled or
uncontrolled unit shutdowns and even during unit operation.
Daikin economizer dampers are arranged to direct the outside
and return air streams toward each other, however, there may
not always be a uniform unit temperature profile under all
load and ambient temperatures. Some temperature
stratification will occur, particularly at low ambient
temperatures and the associated reduced airflow inherent with
VAV systems.
Glycol is strongly recommended as a positive means of freeze
protection for water coils. No control sequence can prevent
coil freezing in the event of a power failure or equipment
malfunction. During those periods, glycol is the only positive
means of freeze protection. When selecting water coils,
specify glycol to account for performance differences.
Freeze protection control strategies must be designed to keep
unit cabinet temperatures from exceeding 150°F during a unit
shutdown. Temperatures in excess of 150°F may exceed the
design limits of motors, electrical components, gaskets, etc.
potentially leading to premature failure of components.

Unit Selection
Unit Selection
Achieving Optimal Performance
Achieving the optimal performance of a rooftop system
requires both accurate system design and proper equipment
selection. Factors that control the unit selection include
applicable codes, ventilation and air filtration requirements,
heating and cooling loads, acceptable temperature
differentials, and installation limitations.
The Daikin SelectTools™ software selection program allows
your local Daikin sales representative to provide you with fast,
accurate and complete selection of Daikin MPS units. You
also can select your unit through reference to physical,
performance, dimensional, and unit weight data included in
this catalog.
To properly select unit equipment:
1 Select unit size and cooling coil.
2 Select heating coils and equipment.
3 Select fans and motors.
Below are examples that illustrate the equations and catalog
references used in the unit selection process.
Table 3: Selection Example
A constant volume system with DX cooling and natural gas
heat is required to meet the following criteria:
Supply air volume = 14,000 cfm
Return air volume = 11,200 cfm
Minimum outside air volume = 2800 cfm
Maximum face velocity = 550 fpm
Supply ductwork external SP = 1.50-in. w.g.
Return ductwork external SP = 0.50-in. w.g.
Altitude = Sea level
Economizer = Required
30% throw-away filters = Required
Voltage = 460 V/60 Hz/3 Ph
Natural gas heat = Required
Double-wall construction = Required
Summer design:
Mixed air temperature = 80°F/67°F
Total sensible load = 345,000 Btu/hr
Total load = 450,000 Btu/hr
Space supply air temperature = 60°F
Ambient conditions = 95°F/76°F
Est. supply fan sensible heat rise = 3°F
(included in above sensible load)
Winter design:
Return air temperature = 70°F
Ambient temperature = 10°F
Space heating load = 315,000 Btu/hr
26
Selecting Unit Size to Satisfy
Summer Design
Unit size is based on coil face area and cooling capacity
requirements. Supply air capacity and maximum face velocity
constraints should serve as a guide for selecting coil
dimensions and cabinet size.
Based on the given data in Table 3, the appropriate coil face
area may be determined as follows:
Minimum face = supply air volume/max. face velocity
area
= 14,000 cfm/550 fpm
= 25.5 square feet
Note: Unit data is based on standard air conditions of 70°F at
sea level. Refer to Application Considerations‚ page 21
for temperature/altitude conversion factors for
nonstandard conditions.
Referring to Physical Data‚ page 28, the 29.4 square foot coil
of the MPS 040A unit satisfies the required face velocity.
Using the Performance Data‚ page 32, the unit selection is an
MPS 040A. Unit performance equals 457,000 Btu/hr. total,
350,000 Btu/hr. Sensible.
Supply air dry bulb =
80°F – 350 MBh/(1.085 × 14,000 cfm) = 57.0°F
Once the initial unit selection is made, determine the actual
supply fan heat rise and check and verify the selection for net
capacity and supply air temperature.
Selecting the Unit Heating System
Heating equipment and coils can be specified directly from
figures and tables incorporated in Hot Water Heating Capacity‚
page 38.
Calculating Total Heating Load
space heating load + outdoor air load –
Total heating load =
supply fan heat
From the data given in Table 3, the outdoor air load is (1.085 ×
2800)
(70 – 10) / 1000 = 182 MBh and supply fan heat is 46 MBh.
Total heat load = 315 MBh + 182 MBh – 46 MBh = 451 MBh
