Trang 5HOISTING EYE INSTALLATION
Remove the blower pad frames
Position the hoisting eyes on corners of the unit with the angle towards thecenter of the unit (See illustration at right)
Run the bolt through the unit housing and hoisting eye, then attach the nut
(See illustration at right)
DUCTWORK
1 Sizing and layout of ductwork and outlets should provide maximum uniform airflow throughout thearea Make-up air should be introduced at a location inside the area, but as far away from existingexhaust hoods as possible to permit conditioned air to flow throughout the entire area beforereaching the exhaust zone, or unless connected to an engineered make-up air system
2 Ductwork must be adequately sized anddesigned for minimum resistance (staticpressure) to provide required airflow Checkrating plate for minimum allowable CFM flowover the heat exchange: at low heatingspeed
3 To avoid pressure losses, all short radiusrectangular elbows should have turningvanes, offsets should not be avoided, andsmall ducts and takeoffs should beundersized
4 Main supply duct normally consists of arectangular vane elbow at the unit andvertical duct extension, both pieces havingthe same dimensions as the unit dischargeopening The ductwork gauge size must beaccording to local codes Ceiling registersshould be the fixed type (if adjustable, modify
so full closing is not possible) (Seeillustration right)
CEILING REGISTER
With the make-up air unit in place on the floor, and the framed roof opening installed:
1 Position roof jack over the opening
2 Caulk and attach the transition elbow to the unit with a flexible connection
3 Push the extension duct up until it slides through the roof jack into the transition elbow (the bottomflange of the extension duct should fit flush with ceiling)
4 Seal, caulk and secure into place
5 In the building, remove side grilles from the ceiling register box, center box over opening and secure
6 Protect outdoor ductwork with weatherproof insulation material
7 Any ductwork within 6 feet of unit must have a minimum of 2 inches clearance from combustiblematerials
8 This is ARES recommendation but you should always check local codes in your area
Trang 6WATER INSTALLATION (with optional evaporative cooling)
Water circulated by a sump pump to troughs above the cooling media It then flows by gravity through
“V” shaped slots and saturates the cooling filters A float valve assembly replaces water lost by evaporation To avoid build up of organic minerals and salts in the sump, an adjustable bleed-off valve directs a small stream of water through the overflow drain An optional fill and drain kit, which consists
of a 3-way valve, 2-way valve and relay itemized for freeze protection of the Make-up Air Unit water line,
is available for field installation.
bleed-off pipe is not covered by the ARES warranty.
The following is a brief outline of the evaporative cooling installation procedure.
1 To install use an inside cold water line that has not passed through a water softening systembecause salts will create additional maintenance and upkeep
2 Install a 1/2" water piping to the right front support leg of the unit Include a convenient shut-offvalve and provisions for draining to prevent freezing in the piping layout
3 Install the overflow standpipe in the sump drain
4 Install a drain line between the overflow standpipe (in the sump drain) to a suitable drain (checklocal codes)
5 Install the float valve assembly and adjust it so the water level is approximately 2" deep in the sumppan (See illustration below)
by the ARES warranty.
6 Install the float valve and adjust the bleed valve to bypass the main water line to rid the system oforganic and mineral deposits (See illustration above)
