Small Units for Distributed Air Conditioning
Some applications take a distributed approach to air conditioning—instead of one large central unit, they call for multiple small units. The Heat-X-Changer® featured here is one of fourteen 100% outdoor make-up air, dehumidification, roof-top units built for a middle school in the Carolinas. They ranged in capacity from 725 cfm, 4 tons cooling, and 14 kW heating to 2,000 cfm, 12 tons cooling, and 36 kW heating. They were all supplied with a complete DX cooling circuit and a Model XLT™ flat plate heat exchanger for dehumidification and reheat. Combined with electric resistance heaters, each is a complete, highly-efficient, year-round, total air conditioning solution.
