2.1

Each split package air-conditioner shall be complete with outdoor

condensing unit, indoor fancoil units, all interconnecting pipework and
drains, all necessary electrical wiring and all necessary controls for the
proper and efficient operation of the complete system.

Fan Coil Unit

1.

The Fan Coil Unit shall be of Direct Expansion type either of Floor
mounted, Ceiling mounted or Wall mounted design as indicated on the
drawings.The ceiling mounted and wall mounted models shall be
complete with remote controls.

2.

The Fan Coil Unit shall have 3-speeds of operation, a timer control and a
temperature setting control. The external housing of each unit shall be
constructed from galvanised or zinc coated steel, bonderized and painted
with corrosion resistant enamel, or otherwise finished to approval. The
housing shall include sufficient inspection panels to provide easy access
to all components or maintenance purpose and shall be drained in
approved manner.

3.

The portion of each housing around and after the cooling coil shall be
thermally insulated with approved insulation. No condensation shall be
allowed to form inside and outside the housing.

4.

Each housing shall incorporate all necessary openings and/or grilles for
supply, return and fresh air. Grilles shall be adequately sized to pass the
required air volume at a face velocity not exceeding 500 ft. per minute.
The arrangement of the filter shall be such that it can be easily removed
and replaced.

5.

Cooling coil shall be of the direct expansion type and shall be of nonferrous construction. The coil shall be made from seamless copper tube
fitted with either copper or aluminium fins.

6.

Fins shall be mechanically bonded tube and shall have fin spacing of not
more than 12 fins per in and not less than 10 fins per inch.

7.

Each coil shall be fitted with suction headers, liquid distributors

expansions devices, isolating valves, solenoid valve etc. as necessary for
proper operation of the unit. Air velocity across the coil surface not
exceed 500 F.P.M. Each coil shall have an insulated condensate tray with
drain.

Air-Cooled Condensing Unit

1.

The compressor and condensing section casing shall be of a minimum

18g zinc coated steel. It shall be zinc phosphate bonderised baked
enamel and weatherised for outdoor installation. The enclosure shall have
provision for easy access during installation and for future maintenance.
The base shall be of steel fully galvanised, with provisions for rigging and
mounting. The whole assembly shall be thoroughly reinforced at all points
of stress.

2.

The air discharge from the condensing section shall be either horizontal
or vertical. The fan outlet shall be protected by means of zinc plated,
iridite or suitable anti-corrosion coated fan guard.

3.

Condenser coil shall be similar to the cooling coil, and shall be designed
for outdoor operation.

4.

The fan shall be drip proof, grease lubricated ball bearing type. The
motors shall be protected from the weather. Fan motor shall incorporate
internal overload protection and shall be interlocked with the compressor.

5.

The refrigerant compressor for each unit shall be of the hermetically

sealed type, multi-cylinder machines, shall be mounted on springs or
rubber mountings and shall be free from excessive noise and vibration.
Any adequate lubrication system suitable for each compressor shall be
incorporate and all necessary ancillaries such as mufflers, oil separator,
dryers, etc. shall be provided. A shield to muffle operating noise shall be
provided.

6.

Cranked case heater shall be provided to compressor (for 3-phase).

7.

The storage tank or receiver shall be sized to accommodate an average

system refrigerant charge in the receiver and condenser coil. The receiver
shall be constructed of heavy gauge steel tubing conforming to relevant
B.S. or ASME code.

8.

Pressure gauge connection points shall be provided in suitable location in

the high and low pressure lines of the refrigerant circuit for testing
purposes.

9.

The units shall be fitted with all necessary controls and safety devices for
automatic operation.

10.

High and low pressure safety control shall be incorporate in the

refrigerant circuit.

11.

Thermal overload protection shall be provided for each motor on each

phase.

12.

The cooling operation of the unit shall be controlled by a thermostat with

its bulb located in the return air stream unless otherwise indicated on the
drawing. The thermostat shall have a temperature range of approximately
55F to 90F and adjustable set joint.

13.

Refrigerant pipe shall be carried out in seamless copper tube of

appropriate grade for the operation pressure conforming to A.S.T.M.
specification B 88-33 or relevant B.S. Insulation shall be in accordance to
the sub-heading insulation in this Specification.

14.

Insulation shall be separate for the refrigerant cold pipe and hot pipe.
Both cold and hot pipes insulated together are not allowed.
