ClimateMaster Water-Source Heat Pumps
Tranquility Modular (TRM) Series
0.75 to 3 Ton Vertical Hi-Rise Units
shall be 2 speed, permanently lubricated, PSC type with thermal overload protection. The fan motor shall be isolated from the
fan housing by a torsionally fl exible motor mounting system with rubber type grommets to inhibit vibration induced high noise
levels associated with “hard wire belly band” motor mounting. Airfl ow/External static pressure rating of the unit shall be based
on a wet coil and clean fi lter.
Chassis:
The chassis, which incorporates the air coil, water coil, drain pan, and compressor, shall be easily installed for quick jobsite
installation and future servicing purposes. The slide in chassis shall have an insulated panel separating the fan compartment
from the compressor compartment. Compressors are not in the air stream. The chassis base shall be fabricated from heavy
gauge galvanized steel formed to match the slide in rails of the cabinet. All electrical connections between the chassis and
cabinet shall be made via locking quick-connects. Units shall have a factory installed 1 inch (25.4mm) thick fi lter bracket and
throwaway type glass fi ber fi lter. Furnish one spare set of fi lters.
Water connections between chassis and the cabinet shall be accomplished via a hose kit consisting of Kevlar-reinforced EPDM
core hose surrounded by a stainless-steel braid. Hose kit shall have brass fi ttings with stainless-steel ferrules. Hose ends shall be
solid External NPT which connects to mating fi tting on cabinet shut off ball valve(s), and Internal NPSM (National Pipe Straight
Mechanical) swivel end with fi ber or EPDM washer which connects to mating threaded end connection on chassis. The hose kit
shall be rated for 350 psi (2412 kPa) design working pressure.
Refrigerant Circuit:
All units shall contain an EarthPure® (HFC 410A) sealed refrigerant circuit including a high effi ciency scroll or rotary compressor
designed for heat pump operation, a thermostatic expansion valve for refrigerant metering, an enhanced corrugated
aluminum lanced fi n and rifl ed copper tube refrigerant to air heat exchanger, reversing valve, coaxial (tube in tube) refrigerant
to water heat exchanger, and safety controls including a high pressure switch, low pressure switch (loss of charge), water
coil low temperature sensor, and air coil low temperature sensor. Access fi ttings shall be factory installed on high and low
pressure refrigerant lines to facilitate fi eld service. Activation of any safety device shall prevent compressor operation via a
microprocessor lockout circuit. The lockout circuit shall be reset at the thermostat or at the contractor supplied disconnect
switch. Units that cannot be reset at the thermostat shall not be acceptable.
Hermetic compressors shall be internally sprung and externally isolated. The compressor shall have a dual level vibration
isolation system. The compressor will be mounted on rubber grommets to a large heavy gauge compressor mounting tray
plate, which is then isolated from the cabinet base with vibration isolation springs for maximized vibration attenuation. All units
(except units with rotary compressors) shall include a discharge muffl er to further enhance sound attenuation. Compressor shall
have thermal overload protection. Refrigerant to air heat exchangers shall utilize enhanced corrugated lanced aluminum fi ns
and rifl ed copper tube construction rated to withstand 625 PSIG (3101 kPa) refrigerant working pressure. Refrigerant to water
heat exchangers shall be of copper inner water tube and steel refrigerant outer tube design, rated to withstand 625 PSIG (3101
kPa) working refrigerant pressure and 500 PSIG (3101 kPa) working water pressure.
Refrigerant metering shall be accomplished by thermostatic expansion valve only. Expansion valves shall be dual port balanced
types with external equalizer for optimum refrigerant metering. Reversing valve shall be four-way solenoid activated refrigerant
valve, which shall default to heating mode should the solenoid fail to function. If the reversing valve solenoid defaults to cooling
mode, an additional low temperature thermostat must be provided to prevent over-cooling an already cold room.
Option: The refrigerant to air heat exchanger shall be “electro-coated” with a low cure cathodic epoxy material a minimum of
0.4 mils thick (0.4 – 1.5 mils range) on all surfaces. The black colored coating shall provide a minimum of 1000 hours
salt spray protection per ASTM B117-97 on all galvanized end plates and copper tubing, and a minimum of 2000
hours of salt spray on all aluminum fi ns. The material shall be formulated without the inclusion of any heavy metals and
shall exhibit a pencil hardness of 2H (ASTM D3363-92A), crosshatch adhesion of 4B-5B (ASTM D3359-95), and impact
resistance of 160 in/lbs direct (ASTM D2794-93).
Option: The unit will be supplied with cupro nickel coaxial water to refrigerant heat exchanger.
Option: The unit will be supplied with internally factory mounted two-way water valve for variable speed pumping
requirements. A factory-mounted or fi eld-installed high pressure switch shall be installed in the water piping to disable
compressor operation in the event water pressures build due to water freezing in the piping system.
