Sizing an Air Conditioner
The proper selection of an air conditioner is determined by the following steps:
- Internal heat load quoted as Watts that must be dissipated.
- The exposed surface area of the enclosure.
- Temperature differential required between maximum inside temperature and maximum outside ambient.
- Final calculation of the above.
The DTS/DTT offering is available in the most popular selection of cooling capacities, sizes, voltages and mounting configurations. Available capacities range form 1,200 to 12,00 BTU/H in both side mounting an dtop mounting models. All models use powerful radial fans for maximum air circulation inside the enclosure in ambient temperature of 125°F (+52°C). Models from 2,000 BTU/H capacity are equipped with thermal expansion valves for optimal use of the evaporator heat exchange surface under all operating conditions. For additional protection of the compressor motor, these valves are supplied as standard with Maximum Operating Pressure control devices (MOP). For energy conservation, the use of hot gas bypass valves is limited to the unload starting and control of large compressors from 8,000 BTU/H upwards.
All air conditioners were developed, designed and subject to final inspections in accordance with international Standards.
General Specifications for All Air Conditioners
| Construction: | Outer shell of sheet steel. |
