It’s time once again for the annual Cooling Showcase. The NEWS’ annual issue has traditionally introduced the latest cooling units available for the upcoming summer season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them to distinguish between brands.

Like last year, this year’s Cooling Showcase is split into two parts — commercial and residential. This issue focuses on the commercial side of the air conditioning industry, while the April 15 issue highlighted new offerings in the residential cooling market. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product as submitted by the manufacturers.

Serviceability features: Advanced Aurora controls monitor electrical consumption of the compressor and fan, providing continuous data to detect potential service issues prior to a failure. Along with the electronic expansion valve, the Aurora controls also monitor the refrigeration circuit, providing both temperatures and pressures for simplified diagnostics and eliminating the need for manual gauges.

Noise-reduction features: Direct-drive electronically commutated fan motors with soft-start and inverter-driven scroll compressors. The fully insulated cabinet and a high-density compressor sound blanket further provide sound attenuation.

IAQ equipment supported: The foil-lined insulation allows for easy cleaning of internal panel surfaces. An optional MERV-13 air filter provides superior air filtration down to particles of 1 micron in average size. The optional Aurora UPC controls are available with factory-programmed demand control ventilation sequences.

Thermostat compatibility: Requires a special thermostat.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: Variable capacity allows the Versatec VS units to match the load of the space for precise temperature and humidity control. Featuring an inverter-driven DC motor scroll compressor to provide capacity modulation between 25 and 100 percent, outstanding efficiencies are achieved at part-load conditions. Aurora advanced controls provide continuous monitoring of energy and refrigerant performance. Direct-drive electronically commutated fan motors allow up to six individual comfort zones to be served by a single unit.

Warranty information: Standard one-year from installation, but optional extended warranties are available to extend coverage for up to five years.

Special installation requirements: Units can be installed on any conventional condenser water or geothermal ground loop. Aurora controls provide seamless integration with BACnet or LonWorks building automation networks. Factory-sealed and -optimized refrigeration circuits reduce installation costs and minimize the amount of refrigerant in the building.

Serviceability features: Compact cabinet design with quick access for ease of service. Horizontal units can be serviced through the unit bottom to virtually eliminate removing ceiling-mounted units for service.

Noise-reduction features: Provided as standard, the unit has a dual-level vibration isolation system. A heavy-gauge mounting plate is isolated from the cabinet via a dense neoprene pad to minimize vibration transfer. The compressor is then isolated from the mounting plate with standard rubber-in-shear isolators to enhance the dual-level vibration isolation. The compressor is located in a well-insulated compartment, separated from the airstream to minimize sound transmission.

IAQ equipment supported: Manufacturer did not specify.

Thermostat compatibility: Compatible with most thermostats.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.

Additional features: Capacities ranging from .5 to 5 tons, with single-stage EERs up to 17 (water loop). With optional hot gas reheat for temperature and humidity control, as well as hybrid heating and cooling, the CAS Series has flexibility over a wide range of applications.

Warranty information: Standard one-year warranty on compressor and parts. Extended five-year warranty is optional.

Special installation requirements: Manufacturer did not specify.

Serviceability features: Inner service panel is removable for access to the unit control wiring and internal piping. The acoustical panel has a flush-mounted design with a hinged door to allow easy filter removal without the use of tools. Lift-out stainless steel pan with P-trap covers the entire unit bottom and can be easily removed for cleaning.

Noise-reduction features: High-efficiency electronically commutated motor has constant torque fan motor for low sound levels and quiet operation. Floating compressor design and cabinet isolation pad to minimize vibration transmission. Water hoses connect to the supply and return water piping, which isolates potential compressor vibration from the building piping system.

IAQ equipment supported: Manufacturer did not specify.

Thermostat compatibility: Compatible with most thermostats.

Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts. Shares replacement parts with other models.

Additional features: The first and only two-stage vertical stack water-source heat pump.

Warranty information: Cabinet carries a 15-month warranty, chassis carries a one-year warranty, compressor carries a five-year warranty, and the refrigeration circuit carries a five-year warranty.
