A. Interior unit

A.1. General

To each exterior unit will correspond an interior unit.

The unit will consist of a ceiling mounted evaporator-ventilator block and air filters to be installed below the ceiling.

The device will have a direct blower in the room to be cooled, with possibility of selecting a continuous pulsing direction (auto sweeping).

The ventilation speed and direction can be adjusted in order to adapt the output to the real need.

All parts like filters, evaporator, electronics, etc... will be easily accessible for maintenance purposes. The maintenance will be performed without specific tools.

The inside units will have the CE label and will be very noiseless. Sound levels will not exceed the maximum sound levels required in the technical characteristics. If the requested sound level is exceeded, the contractor will make the necessary adjustments to reduce the sound level below the maximum required sound level.

The installer must foresee a condensation evacuation pump if gravitory evacuation cannot be envisaged.

A.2. Description

In addition, the interior unit must comply with following characteristics:

• White color

• Dimensions (235 x 1270 x 690mm)

• Silent running (29/36/41 dB(A)) according to speed

• Remote controlled adjustable air speeds + 1 automatic speed (750-1410 m3/h)

• Automatic shut-off of shutters when OFF

• Automatic restart after electrical cut-off

• Wired remote controlled

• Ethernet connection interface to the Smart Manager system or equal

A.3. Controls and regulations

Interior units will be controlled by only one wired remote control according to model, with following functions:

- ON / OFF button

- Setting of running mode

- Setting of temperature

- Setting of shutters

- Setting of ventilation speed

- Weekly time programming

- Limitation of temperature range

- Multi-languages display

- Locking of keys

- Default codes display

- Built-in temperature sensor

- Default codes display

- Connection on Smart Manager control

B. Exterior units

B.1. General

The exterior unit will be of Inverter type, condensation by air. The exterior units must be able to keep a minimum heat power of 4.5kW at -10oC. It will be installed outside. Any other type of installation must be approved by the manufacturer.

To keep a clear visibility, the maximum height of the exterior units on the base will be 1 meter.

The exterior units will be composed of (by circuit):

• a Twin Rotary Inverter compressor

• a thermal exchanger

• an electronic pressure reducing valve

• two silencers

• a high efficiency helicoidal fan

B.2. Description

a) Compressor: type Twin Rotary Inverter.It is composed of two fixed compression chambers. An out-of-center roller will compress the fluid in each chamber. The two rollers are fixed on the same axle and are diametrically opposed. This configuration gives a perfect balance of the strains applied on the axle and avoids any vibration.

b) Thermal exchanger: composed of copper tubes and aluminum profiled blades. It will be positioned as a “L” in order to optimize the output according to the load.

c) Pressure reducing valve: electronic valve.

d) Fan: The ventilation of the exterior unit will be provided by a fan of helicoidal type statically and dynamically balanced in factory.

The variation of the air flow variation will be proportional to the speed of the installation.

The acoustic pressure level of the exterior unit cannot exceed 42dB(A) at 1m in minimum speed in all directions.

e) Safety features: the exterior unit will be fitted with following safety features:

• pressostat(s)

• protection fuses

• thermal protections (compressor and fan)

• anti short cycle device

• running control sensors

• electronic defrost device

• a mandatory proximity power cut-off device will be installed

C. Refrigerating connections

C.1. Principle

The exterior unit will be linked to the corresponding interior unit by 2 adapted refrigerating connections.

C.2. Piping

The winner of the contract will have to install the refrigerating piping and the necessary connections for the installation.

Refrigerating connections will be in refrigerating quality copper (minimum thickness of 0.8mm), bendable and separately insulated (gas tube and liquid tube) by an insulating material (minimum 13mm thickness)..

C.3. Installation

The entire installation must comply with following characteristics (liquid line):

Maximum overall length 2x20/50 m Maximum difference in level IU/EU 30 m

Correction of the power in function of the length of the link will be checked by the firm.

An accurate layout of the installation will be performed (length of the liquid line) in order to calculate the possible addition of refrigerating fluid.

Fasteners, chutes, supports and other fastening means will be included in the cost and must take the expansion of the ducts into account.

Drillings, tightening and chutes will be included.

No oil trap will be tolerated on the installation.

Refrigerating connections will be silver welded (15% minimum soldering) under nitrate flux.

The diameter and length of the piping must conform to the prescriptions of the manufacturer of the equipment installed.

C.4. Addition of refrigerating fluid and startup

The addition of refrigerating fluid will be performed under supervision of the manufacturer or by the firm if approved by the manufacturer..

D. Electrical connections

A new electrical cable will be laid from the TDB electrical panel located in heating room up to the exterior unit. A new circuit breaker and the electrical connection will be included. The bus cable between the units and the communication box in the heating room and the required interfaces will also be included.

The electrical connection of the installation will be done according to the regulations in force.

The section of the cables and the electrical protection (differentials) must comply with the regulations.

TP-2-04 : Controls and regulation

The split systems will be regulated by the Smart Manager control type BMS-SM1280ETLE with ethernet module + counting.

This control will be installed in the communication box in the heating room.

From a computer in building 20006, O&M Division, it will be possible to be connected through an existing Ethernet network to modify the rules and receive alarms.

The systems will also be connected to the fire alarm panel for an automatic shut down in case of a fire alarm.

The installation, cabling, connections, startup and programming will be included in this item.

The comfort temperatures are 21oC in winter and 24oC in summer. A timetable could be register according to the requirements of the user.

A startup record sheet for each unit will be provided.
