SPECIFICATIONS
VAC VERTICAL
SERIES SYSTEMS

EVAPORATOR AND
CONDENSER COILS

All models 8-15 tons ship as factory-charged unitized packages. The 20 and 25 ton models shall be shipped as separate evaporator and condensing unit modules (nitrogen holding charge only). All units may be field split and installed as
separate modules to suit on-site requirements. All packages
are designed for freestanding mounting on the floor, or on a
field fabricated structural steel stand. The 8 and 10 ton models are shipped with vertical evaporator fan discharge as
standard. The 12, 15, 20, and 25 ton models are shipped horizontal discharge as standard.

The evaporator and condenser coils are constructed of internally enhanced copper tubes mechanically bonded to rippled
aluminum plate fins. Both coils are employed in a draw-thru
configuration. Large evaporator coil face area minimizes
potential water blow-off.

CABINET
All cabinets are completely constructed of heavy gauge galvanized steel. The entire unit interior (both evaporator and
condensing section) is insulated with 1/2" thick, 2 lb. density
insulation. Service panels are equipped with lifting handles
for ease of removal and handling. Duct flanges for condenser discharge, condenser intake, and evaporator discharge,
are provided with the unit for field installation. Duct flange for
evaporator return is incorporated into the filter frame.

COMPRESSORS
All models utilize "Scroll" type hermetic compressors.
Compressors are mounted on rubber isolators to minimize
vibration transmission. Internal overload protection is provided. External high pressure and low pressure cutout switches
are included in each compressor control circuit. Crankcase
heaters are standard on all models.

REFRIGERANT CIRCUITS
The 8-20 ton units feature two independent refrigeration circuits. The 25 ton unit features three independent refrigeration
circuits, with fully interwoven evaporator coil circuitry. Each
refrigeration circuit includes an adjustable thermal expansion
valve (with external equalizer), liquid line filter drier, sight
glass/moisture indicator, and service gauge ports.

12

INDOOR/OUTDOOR FANS
Forward curved, double inlet and double width centrifugal
blowers are used for both evaporator and condenser air
movement. Blower wheels are fabricated of galvanized steel.
Blowers employ solid steel shafts, supported in permanently
lubricated ball bearing. All blowers are belt driven. Variablepitch motor sheaves allow for field adjustment of blower rpm.

ELECTRICAL/CONTROLS
All units are completely factory wired with all necessary controls. Manual reset protection is provided on both evaporator
and condenser motors. A manual reset circuit is also provided on each compressor control circuit in the event of high/low
pressure cutout. A 24 volt control circuit, with oversize transformer, is provided for field connection.

FILTERS
All models are shipped with 2 inch thick medium-efficiency
throwaway filters, factory installed. Filter rack is external to
the cabinet (shipped loose).

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
FACTORY INSTALLED

FIELD INSTALLED

Oversized Evaporator Fan Motors

Low Ambient Control

Increased horsepower motors and drive components are

available for those applications where external static pressure
requirements exceed the capability of the standard motor.

Head pressure control damper kit will allow unit operation

down to 0oF ambient. Damper assembly fits over condenser
air intake. The kit includes damper actuator, and low pressure
switch bypass timer(s).

Corrosion Resistant Coatings

Condenser and/or evaporator coils shall receive a 1-mil thickness of a cathodic epoxy type electro-deposition coating,
applied in a multiple dip and brake process.

Stainless Steel Drain Pan

Evaporator drain pan shall be fabricated of 304 stainless
steel material. The 3/4 in NPT drain connection fitting is also
of 304 stainless steel.

Hot Gas Bypass

Adjustable hot gas regulator and all necessary piping shall be
installed on lead compressor circuit. Bypass capacity shall be
minimum 50% of compressor capacity. The Bypass valve
opens at a preset suction pressure to prevent coil freeze-up
at light evaporator load, or low airflow conditions. The use of
the field installed Low Ambient Control is strongly recommended when Hot Gas Bypass is installed.

Hot Water & Steam Coils

Hydronic heating coils shall mount on return air side of cooling coil. The unit filter rack shall mount to the entering air side of
the heating coil.

Discharge Plenum
Plenums shall mount on top of the evaporator section, with
fans arranged for vertical discharge. Double deflection grills
shall allow air discharge in multiple directions.

Oversized Evaporator Fan Motors

Increased horsepower motors and drive components are
available as a kit. Units are field upgradeable for applications
where external static pressure requirements exceed the
capability of the standard motor.

Anti-Short Cycle Timer

Time delay relay will be provided for each compressor circuit.
Compressor will be locked out for 5 minutes when thermostat
contacts open, or there is a momentary power outage.

AIRSIDE ECONOMIZER ACCESSORY

APPLICATION

GENERAL

Skymarks air side economizers are designed to meet current building and legislated codes for indoor ventilation. In
addition to improving indoor air quality, economizers provide substantial energy savings by utilizing cool outside air
instead of mechanical cooling whenever outside conditions permit.

Consisting of an integrated mixing box and control assembly,

the economizer mates easily to all Skymark vertical air handlers. A factory supplied wiring harness and jack plug assembly simplifies field wiring, reducing valuable installation time.
No additional controls or transformers are necessary to complete the installation.

The outlet or discharge of the air side economizer is fitted

to the return air inlet of the packaged air conditioning unit.
The two inlets to the economizer are fitted to the return air
and outside air ductwork. Opposed blade dampers located in each inlet modulate the incoming air streams as
they enter the mixing box. The outside air damper can be
maintained at a predetermined minimum position. In this
way the buildings ventilation requirements can be met at
all times.

Mixing Box - The mixing box is manufactured from heavy

gauge steel and completely insulated with one half inch of
insulation. The mixing box is complete with fully modulating
opposed blade dampers and linkage.

Low Leakage - Low leakage dampers meet the criteria of

less than 10 cfm per square foot at 4 w.g. (0.5% at 2000
fpm). All damper blades are provided with neoprene seals
providing a tight seal and quiet operation.
Honeywell W7215 Economizer Control Module - The
W7215 is a multi-functional controller capable of analyzing
dry bulb, enthalpy and air quality inputs. An output from the
economizer module will position the mixing box dampers to
provide energy saving through the introduction of outside air
for free cooling.
