QUALITY ROOFTOP UNIT DESIGNED TO TODAY’S
STANDARDS
Ecological and Economical Design
• FirstpackagedRTUthatmeetsASHRAE 90.1-2001
with both R-22 and R-407C Refrigerants.
•Cooling and Heating – Superioroperating perfor-
manceprovidesloweroperatingcosts.Smallersteps
ofcoolingcapacityprovidetighter control of building
environmentandoccupantcomfortwhile optimizing
energy efficiency.
•Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) – Outside air economizer
provides energy savings in free cooling mode, and
canprovideahealthierandmorecomfortablebuild-
ingenvironmentbyintroducingfreshoutsideairinto
the building as needed. IndoorAir Quality (IAQ) re-
quirements for building ventilation and comfort are
controlledthroughthe microprocessorcontrolpanel.
Optionalairflow measurement provides an accurate
means of tracking air quality and alerting the occu-
pants or building owner to unhealthy situations.
•Premium Efficiency – Premium-efficiencymotors
are available for optimum energy efficiency. All mo-
tors used on the eco2packaged rooftop air condi-
tionermeetU.S.EPACT1992minimumrequirements.
•VFDsStandard onVAV Units–Variable-frequency-
drives provide the HVAC designer with a high-effi-
ciency,quietandmorereliablemeans of variable air
volume control from a packaged rooftop. On larger
rooftops,ASHRAE90.1-1999standardspecifiespart
load efficiency requirements that make VFDs the
cost-effective solution for meeting the standard.
VFDs can save the owner up to 40% of the energy
costscomparedtoinletguide vanesofferedoncom-
petitive units by reducing the power requirement.
VFDs use fewer parts, which leads to more reliabil-
ity.Also, with fewer moving parts, and the reduction
ofspeedinthe fan, theVFDoperatesatsignificantly
quieter operation than the inlet guide vane which
restrictsahighvolumeofairflow,whichcanactually
increase noise at part load conditions.
Additionally, the YORK VFD includes DC link reac-
tors as standard that have harmonic filtration com-
parabletoanAClinereactor.VFDsalsoprovidethe
added benefit of soft-starting the supply fan, which
helps to minimize demand charges associated with
inrush currents.
•NetworkConnectivitywith BACnet,LON orRoof-
Link Interface – Throughoptionalcommunications
protocols, the eco2rooftop unit can communicate to
any building automation system. There are four op-
tionsavailable:BACnetInternet Protocol(Ethernet),
BACnetMSTP(RS485),LONor a generic RoofLink
BAS interface, depending on the type of building
automation system. Without network communica-
tions,theeco2isdesignedtooperateinstand-alone
mode, or via contact closures for basic control.
•ProfessionalAppearance –Ahigh quality powder
coat paint finish is applied to the galvanized steel
exterior of the eco2unit to protect it from aggressive
environments helping to maintain a factory-quality
appearance for years.
•FlexSys Underfloor Air System Configuration –
the eco2 rooftop is the first packaged rooftop product
withdesignsspecifically forusewiththeYORKFlex-
Sys underfloor air system. Ask your local YORK
representative for more information.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
•Double-Sloped Stainless Steel Drain Pan – This
double-sloped inclined stainless steel drain pan fa-
cilitates removal of evaporator condensate. Sloped
in two directions, this drain pan swiftly drains any
condensate from the unit. Best of all, the drain pan
is accessible for periodic cleaning required by IAQ
standards.
•Smart Ventilation – YORK maintains the leader-
ship role in IAQ products with adaptive ventilation
control.TheOptiLogicTMcontrolsprovidecontinuous
monitoring of air quality and take action by opening
theoutsideairdampers,bringingintheright amount
of fresh air before air impurities reach uncomfortable
or even dangerous levels.
• Air Flow Measurement – Precise measurement
of ventilation air flow is possible using an air flow
measurement station which can be installed in the
economizer section. Proper ventilation air flow is
requiredto ensure sufficientfreshairisin the build-
ing. A myriad of air flow measurement options are
available from minimum air flow to high-accuracy
full air flow capabilities.The complete system is de-
signed as an integrated component of the
OptiLogicTM controlsystem to ensure optimum sys-
tem performance.
•DoubleWallConstruction –Rigid double-wallcon-
struction throughout provides ease of cleaning and
protects against insulation fiber entrainment in the
breathable air. Double-wall construction also helps
improvetheacousticalcharacteristics of theairhan-
dling unit.
•Enhanced Filtration – The eco2 unit gives design-
ers the flexibility to meet various IAQ requirements
withafullrangeofrigidandthrowawayfilteroptions
at various efficiency levels.
•Demand Ventilation – Control of the economizer
is available to maintain a desired ventilation level
basedon a 0-10VDC inputfromasensor.Afactory-
supplied CO2 sensor is available for installation in
the occupied space.
