DryCool ERV - Unit Control Sequence


Unit Control Overview The DryCool-ERV is designed to provide an economical way to control the space dew point while delivering room neutral supply air. If the system is operating in the occupied mode and the outside air is warmer than 75F (adjustable) or the dew point is greater than 54F (adjustable) or in the heating mode (anytime the outside air is below 50F, adjustable) the enthalpy wheel will operate. In the dehumidification mode, the incoming air is first pre-cooled and dehumidified using a single stage of direct expansion refrigeration. This cooler and dryer air is then passed through a regenerative desiccant wheel to further reduce the moisture content and reheat the air to a neutral level. The desiccant wheels ability to absorb moisture is regenerated with a separate air stream that is heated with the waste heat from the refrigeration reactivation condenser of the same direct expansion system. If the return air dew point remains high, 2nd stage of direct expansion refrigeration will be turned on to assist in removing moisture from the air stream. Should the DX coil leaving air temperature drop below 45F the number of refrigeration circuits in assist will be reduced. When the supply air temperature is above 75F dry bulb, 2nd stage of cooling will be turned on if it was idle. Heating the supply air is accomplished with a modulating gas fired burner or electric heat to maintain the supply air temperature set point.

Unit Start-Up 1. The disconnect switch must be turned On and can remain On for the life of the unit, except for periodic maintenance and service. 2. Place the DDC enable HAND-OFF-AUTO (HOA) switch to the AUTO position. The DDC outputs will operate when the switch is in the AUTO position, subject to the remote DDC enable contact (by others) being closed and the Unit Enable binary value set to Enabled by the Building Management System or manually through the LCD Display. The HAND position of the HOA switch allows manual override of the remote DDC enable contact. 3. One of the two operating modes, occupied or unoccupied, must be selected by the Building Management System or manually through the LCD Display. The dehumidification mode must be active for the unit to dehumidify the supply air. 4. To shut down the unit, it is only necessary to place the DDC enable HOA switch to the OFF position or set the Unit Enable binary value to Disabled.

Unit Operation Once an operating mode is selected by the building automation system or the unit keypad/display, the Supply Fan will start. After air flow is proven, the unit will operate in the mode selected.

Dehumidification: The dehumidification mode can be activated in three ways. First, the BMS can call for DH based on space humidity level. Second, the unit can activate the DH mode if the dew point downstream from the enthalpy wheel is >54F (adjustable). Third, the Optional space sensor can call for DH based on space humidity level. A return air dew point >52F (adjustable) will control the staging of the compressor circuits for assisting in dehumidification. When the supply air temperature is above 75F dry bulb, 2nd stage of cooling will be turned on if it was idle. Cooling: Cooling can be activated by the BMS, the optional space sensor, or when the dew point downstream from the enthalpy wheel is <55F and the dry bulb temperature is >75F. The compressor will stage on to provide cooling based on a supply air temperature no greater than 75F. A call for DH will override the cooling mode. There is only one stage of cooling. Heating: Heating can be activated by the BMS, the optional space sensor, or when the dry bulb temp past the enthalpy wheel is <65 F (adjustable). The gas or electric heater will be activated to maintain a supply air temperature of 75F by modulating the heat output. The first stage of heat shall be a maximum of 25% of full capacity. Occupied Mode: Outdoor air damper will open, and the recirculation air damper will close. If the outdoor air temperature or dew point is high enough or if the heating mode is active, the enthalpy wheel will operate and exhaust fan will start. The unit will operate to maintain occupied space conditions. Unoccupied Mode: Outdoor air damper will remain closed, the recirculation air damper will remain open and the exhaust fan will remain off unless unit is in dehumidification mode. The enthalpy wheel will not rotate. The unit will operate to maintain unoccupied space conditions.

Operational Detail Dehumidification: Outdoor Air Temperature is not less than the Outdoor Air Temperature to allow dehumidification. 1. Compressor will turn on to pre-cool and pre-dehumidify the air stream. 2. The Desiccant Wheel will start to rotate. As the pre-cooled air passes thru the Desiccant Wheel, additional moisture will be removed and the air temperature will increase. 3. The exhaust fan will be enabled and heat from the reactivation condenser coil will heat reactivation air stream. This heated air will then flow thru the regeneration side of the Desiccant Wheel removing moisture picked up on the supply side of the wheel. 4.

General Installation Instructions


Location of the unit
The unit must be set on a flat, level surface and supported around the entire perimeter of the base on either a roof curb or a slab. Proper service clearances must be provided on all four sides of the unit as indicated on the unit General Arrangement (GA) drawing.

Noise Considerations
Noise control issues should be taken into consideration when installing a rooftop or indoor air-handling unit. Modern roof and construction is normally lightweight. Where the air handler is located over noise sensitive areas, noise may be a concern. Generally, the distance between the roof-mounted equipment and the closest occupied spaces below the roof is insufficient to apply standard sound control treatments. Units should be placed above or next to spaces that are not acoustically sensitive and as far as possible from the nearest occupied space. On curb mounted units, it is recommended that holes be cut through the roof just large enough to accommodate the ducts. The gap around the ducts should be properly sealed with an acoustical sealant after installation of the ducts. Proper duct design will reduce breakout and transition noise. Supply and return ducts should be lined with 1 minimum acoustical duct liner. Where roof construction is particularly susceptible to vibration transmission, an isolation curb should be used. The curb deflection should be sized to be at least 15 times the deflection of the roof due to the unit weight. (Ex: if the roof deflects 1/8 due to the unit weight, the roof curb should deflect 1/8 x 15 = 1 7/8 due to the weight of the unit). See ASHRAE 2007 HVAC Applications Handbook Rooftop Mounted Air Handlers (47.6) for further information. Indoor Installation Noise: Units should be placed above or next to spaces that are not acoustically sensitive and as far as possible from the nearest occupied space. Noise sensitive indoor installations should incorporate unit vibration isolation to prevent sound transmission to internal building structure.

Rev03 10-02-2009

Roof Curb (Optional)


The roof curb must be assembled according to the Roof Curb Assembly drawing. The curb must be installed so that it is supported around the entire perimeter. Drop in duct adapters should be fabricated and installed if the unit is ducted through the curb. 3/8 thick by 1-1/2 wide closed cell gasketing must be installed around the perimeter of the curb and duct openings prior to installation of the unit. Counter flashing is recommended around the perimeter of the curb to prevent wind blown water from being forced up the curb and seeping into the building between the unit and the curb.

Lifting Unit
Unit must be lifted by crane using all lifting lugs located on the sides of the unit. The crane must be selected to handle the weight shown on the General Arrangement drawing. Spreader bars that are 2 to 4 wider than the unit width must be used to prevent the rigging cables from squeezing the top of the unit. Failure to do so will damage the unit. The base of the unit is 5 longer and 5 wider than the roof curb. There is a 2 wide rail that must sit over the curb. When setting the unit on the roof curb, insure that the unit sets properly over the curb.

Storage of unit
If the unit must be stored prior to final installation on the roof curb or slab, care must be taken to set the unit on a flat surface. The unit is not designed to support its weight on an uneven surface. Storage on an uneven surface may cause damage to the unit structure. All unit openings shall be sealed for the duration of storage. Unit should be stored in an area protected from weather, or completely covered with a waterproof tarp.

Rev03 10-02-2009

Utility Connections
Electrical: Most units have a single point electrical hookup. Most units have a control panel with an integral non-fused disconnect. An electrical service must be provided to accommodate the unit MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity). It must be suitably protected against short circuit and ground fault by a suitable means using the MOP (Maximum Overcurrent Protection) stated on the nameplate. Electrical service enters the unit from underneath through a prefabricated hole in the floor panel. If the service is to enter the unit from the side of the unit as on a slab mount, reference the unit GA drawing for location for electrical access. Attach a suitable watertight connector where the electrical service enters the unit. Control Sensors Temperature and humidity controls or control sensors are generally mounted in the conditioned space to control cooling, heating and dehumidification functions. The conditioned space sensors should be carefully located so that they are away from supply air outlets to prevent short cycling and inadequate control of conditions in the space. Never locate control sensors in the supply air duct. This will result in short cycling and compressor failure. Discharge sensors for monitoring Discharge sensors for monitoring and/or control of modulating heat should be located in the supply ductwork downstream of the unit discharge. In no case shall the sensors be located within the unit or immediately adjacent to the unit discharge. Preferably, the sensor should be located after at least one directional change in the ductwork, or for straight duct runs, at least twenty feet away from the unit discharge. Locating the sensor closer than this may result in inaccurate readings due to inadequate air mixing or radiant heat pickup from heaters. Natural Gas or LPG: CAUTION! Insure that the type of gas is correct for the heaters. There are up to three gas connections on the unit on units so equipped. Gas service must be provided to each connection. The gas service must be sized according to the Equipment Data sheet located in the Manual or Submittal, or the unit nameplate located on the electrical control panel. The piping and regulator must be capable of continuously supplying the required BTUH at a pressure of 7 to 15 inches water column (11 to 15 for LPG) with the burner(s) on at full fire. The piping installer must install a proper sediment trap per National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 (ANSI Z 223.1) section 5.5, a pressure regulator, and a union. The pressure regulator must be a lockup type to prevent excessive pressure buildup during burner off periods.

Rev03 10-02-2009

Cooling Coil Drain Connections: Cooling coils must be properly trapped. Lack of a proper trap will admit air into the bottom of the condensate drain pan preventing draining of the pan. As water builds up, the entering air will blow water out of the drain pan. The trap must be at least 8 deep with a 4 high drain leg (see below). On units with positive pressure blow-through coils, the trap dimensions must be reversed. Condensate IN

Condensate OUT 8 4

Evaporative Cooler Water and drain connections: If the unit is equipped with an evaporative cooler, the MNPT WATER connection must be connected to a clean water supply. There is an air break built into the unit to prevent back flow into the building water system in case of water pressure loss. The installer must take proper precautions to prevent freezing of the water line in cold weather. Heat tape and insulation or automatic draining of the line is recommended. There is a 1 MNPT DRAIN connection that should be connected to the sewer. CAUTION! The unit has a conductivity sensor that automatically drains the evaporative cooler sump. DO NOT install a shutoff valve in the drain line. The 1 OVERFLOW should be allowed to drain in a conspicuous location to allow detection. CAUTION! DO NOT install a shutoff valve in the overflow line. Vent connections: Units equipped with a gas reactivation heater for will have a PVC pipe outlet labeled REACTIVATION VENT. A small amount of reactivation exhaust will be emitted from this vent when the reactivation fan is running. On outdoor units, this vent should be left open to atmosphere. On indoor units, this vent must be routed to a drain or to a point outside the building. The pipe must be continuously sloped per foot toward the drain or outlet. If this vent is piped to a drain, it must be sealed to the drain to prevent reactivation exhaust from entering the building.

Rev03 10-02-2009

Steam Coils: CAUTION! Steam coils are subject to outside air conditions and can quickly freeze and rupture during sub 32F weather if proper steam valves, traps, and piping design are not utilized. Coils controlled by a modulating steam valve are particularly susceptible to freezing. Each coil must have its own steam trap. Steam traps must be installed a minimum of 18 below the bottom of the coil. The pipe size leaving the coil should be used to connect the steam trap. A sediment leg must be installed below the pipe tee connecting the trap. Traps must be a float and thermostatic (F & T) type. The trap must be sized to accommodate the design condensate flow rate at PSIG. A vacuum breaker must be installed at the top of the coil outlet header to insure proper coil condensate drainage in the event that the steam supply does not keep up with the condensation rate and sub atmospheric pressure would otherwise result. This event can easily occur during startup conditions and especially where a modulating steam valve is used. The steam supply line must have a trap to insure that only steam enters the coil. Details on proper steam piping and valving can be found in Chapter 22 of ASHRAE 2009 Fundamentals Handbook and Chapter 10 of ASHRAE 2008 HVAC Systems and Equipment Handbook. Failure to follow proper guidelines can result in freezing and rupture of the steam coils. Steam inlet Modulating valve

Ducting
Outdoor units
Duct connections for supply and return air are made to the bottom or to the sides of the unit depending upon the option ordered. Duct connections must always be made to the flanges sticking out of the unit, never to the sheet metal on the unit housing. Flexible duct connectors should be installed between the unit duct outlet and the duct. Fans are sized to accommodate 1 total external static pressure (supply + return) from the duct system unless otherwise specified. On supply discharge ductwork, allow several duct diameters of a single duct run prior to branching of the ductwork into multiple runs to ensure even airflow and temperature/humidity distribution. Details on ducting standards can be found in SMACNA publication "HVAC Systems Duct Design" and Chapter 18 of 2008 ASHRAE HVAC Systems and Equipment Handbook. Most units have cooling, heating and dehumidification functions controlled by sensors located in the conditioned space. As the controlled condition reaches the on set point, the required function will energize. Wide variations in discharge temperatures can occur. During cooling mode, the discharge temperature may be between 55F and 65F. During dehumidification or heating, temperature may range from 85F to over 100F. Makeup air units may have even greater variations. Discharge registers in the conditioned space should be carefully located to prevent cold or hot air from blowing directly on people and causing uncomfortable conditions.

Indoor Units
Reactivation ducting: Reactivation air must be ducted to the outside of the building away from any air intakes into the building. The duct should be at least the same size as the reactivation outlet and as short as possible. The weather flapper must be removed prior to duct installation. The duct must be insulated on the outside and sloped toward the outside a minimum of per foot. The duct connections must be sealed so that air does not leak out. The air inside the reactivation duct is very wet and moisture will condense and cause corrosion if the proper material is not selected. The recommended material for the inside of the duct is aluminum or stainless steel. The reactivation vent pipe on the side of the unit must be piped to a drain or outside the building. Makeup air ducting: Makeup air inlet(s) must be ducted to the outside. Care should be taken to locate the inlet where it will not entrain air from a contaminating source.

Rotary Address Switches


The I/O Flex 6126s pair of rotary switches determines the I/O Flex 6126s MAC address when it is placed on a BACnet/ARC156 or BACnet MS/TP network. The rotary switches define the MAC address portion of the devices BACnet address which is composed of the network address and the MAC address. These rotary switches can be set to anything between 1 and 99. One switch corresponds to the tens digit and the other corresponds to the ones digit. For example, if the modules address is one, set the tens switch to zero and the ones switch to one, as shown in Figure 3.

Mounting
Screw the I/O Flex 6126 into an enclosed panel using the mounting holes provided on the cover plate. Be sure to leave about 2 inches (5 centimeters) on each side for wiring.

Power Wiring
CAUTION The I/O Flex 6126 is a Class 2 device (less than 30VAC, 100VA maximum). Take appropriate isolation measures when mounting the I/O Flex 6126 in a control panel where nonClass 2 devices (for example, 120VAC) or wiring are present. You can power several devices from the same transformer if you maintain the same polarity. The I/O Flex 6126 has an operating range of 21.6VAC to 26.4VAC. If voltage measured at the I/O Flex 6126s power input terminals is outside this range, the I/O Flex 6126 may not work properly. 1. Turn the I/O Flex 6126s power off. This prevents the I/O Flex 6126 from being powered up before the proper voltage is verified. 2. Make sure the 24VAC power source is off. 3. Connect the power wires to the I/O Flex 6126s power connector, making sure the proper polarity is observed for Ground and Hot (24VAC) (see Figure 1 on page 4 for location). 4. Apply power to the transformer. 5. Make sure that 24VAC is present at the power connector terminals. 6. Set the I/O Flex 6126s address. Refer to Rotary Address Switches on page 4 for details about setting the address. 7. Turn the I/O Flex 6126s power back on. When the I/O Flex 6126 turns on, the Power, Run and Error LEDs turn on and the Run and Error LEDs begin blinking. The Error LED goes off once memory has been downloaded to the I/O Flex 6126. (See LEDs on page 15 for more information about LED signals.)

BACnet Networking
ARC156
An ARCNET coprocessor allows the I/O Flex 6126 to communicate on an ARC156 network through the modules dedicated ARC156 port, Port 1. ARC156 is a unique implementation of the industry standard, ARCNET. It differs from ARCNET as shown in Table 4. The I/O Flex 6126 uses the BACnet protocol to communicate with up to 99 other devices on an ARC156 network at 156 kbps. A special communications cable is recommended for maximum signal integrity. This cable can be ordered from: Magnum Cable Corporation Cleveland, OH 44110-0500 (800) 421-0820 Refer to the ARC156 CMnet Wiring Technical Instructions for more information about termination, repeaters, wiring, and ARCNET token passing. NOTE You can verify that the I/O Flex 6126 is communicating on the ARC156 network segment by checking the modules transmit and receive LEDs on the Comm port. Both LEDs should be active to indicate token passing. Table 4. ARC156 vs. ARCNET

Inputs and Outputs


Inputs
The I/O Flex 6126 is equipped with universal inputs that can accept both analog and digital input signals. All 12 inputs support thermistors, dry contacts, and 0-10VDC sensors and have a 12-bit A/D resolution; inputs 1 and 2 can be used for pulse counting. The I/O Flex 6126 uses voltage dividers and current sensing resistors to convert electric input signals to volts, which are then measured and converted to the appropriate units. Scaling can be accomplished in WebCTRL on the module driver Properties page.

Input Signal Types


Table 5 describes the input signal types available on the I/O Flex 6126. Table 5. Input Signal Types
Signal Type Thermistor Description Precon type 2 (10kohm at 77 deg F). Thermistor input voltages should range between 0.489V and 3.825V. A 5VDC wetting voltage is used to detect contact position. This results in a 0.5mA maximum sense current when the contacts are closed. Any switch, which has more than 412 Ohms effective resistance (0.2V) when closed, must have an interposing mechanical relay when used with OEMCtrl modules. The output impedance of a 0 to 5VDC source must not exceed 10kohms. The input impedance of the module is approximately 1Mohm. Platinum, nickel, or balco.

Input Connection Sequence


1. Turn the I/O Flex 6126s power off before wiring any inputs or outputs. 2. Connect the input wiring to the screw terminals on the module. See Figure 9 for details on wiring thermistors to inputs 5 and 6. 3. Ground shielded wire to the module's ground terminal. 4. Making sure that the jumper is positioned correctly and that you are gripping the jumper by the sides only (see Figure 2 on page 5), set the configuration jumper for inputs 1 and 2 to indicate signal type. NOTE You can also use the 0 - 5VDC setting Figure 9. Wiring thermistors for 0 - 10VDC. After setting the jumper, access WebCTRL and select input for 0 - 5VDC or input for 0 - 10VDC. 5. For each input, enter the point identifiers. In WebCTRL, enter the point number and the point type on the Properties page. For linear inputs, set the minimum value and maximum value to scale the point to engineering units. 6. To verify each inputs operation, have each sensor create a known value and compare it to the condition reported on the control programs Properties page in WebCTRL. 7. Turn the modules power on.

Outputs
Binary outputs can be connected to a maximum of 24 Volts AC/DC. Each output is a dry contact (rated at 1A, 24VAC maximum). Analog outputs can support voltage devices in the range of 0 to 10VDC (analog outputs 1 and 2 are either 0-10v or 0-20ma; 3 through 6 are 0-10v only). The device that is being controlled must have a minimum of 500 Ohms resistance measured from its input to ground and must share the same ground as the I/O Flex 6126.

Formatting the Module


CAUTION Before formatting the module, please note that ALL memory will be erased. You must be able to download memory to the module after formatting a module. Rarely is it necessary to format a module. We strongly advise NOT formatting a module without consultation with a factory representative or an experienced technician. Formatting causes the module to delete the GFB in memory permanently, and memory will have to be downloaded to the module. If communications are lost with the module, formatting it can narrow down the problem. However, before formatting the module, follow these steps: Remove all external wiring other than power. Through the access port, attempt to get a Module Status. If you can communicate, the problem with communications involves one of the wires you just removed. Reconnect each wire one at a time and try to get a Module Status in between to figure out where the problem lies. If you cannot communicate and you have the system files for downloading memory to this module, try the format procedure below. Then try again to get a Module Status. If you cannot communicate with the module after a format, send it in for repair. If you can communicate after the format, formatting has resolved the problem. You will need to download memory to the module and reconnect all the inputs and outputs.

Formatting Procedure
1. Turn the I/O Flex 6126s power off. Make sure the modules address switches are addressed correctly and are not set to 0 0. 2. Short the Format pins with a jumper covering both pins or with the blade of a screwdriver. Maintain the short while performing step 3. 3. Turn the modules power on. The Error LED flashes three times in sync with the Run LED. 4. Discontinue the short by removing the jumper or screwdriver blade from the Format pins. 5. Download memory to the module.

Production Date
To determine when a module was manufactured, check the modules status report in WebCTRL. Refer to the WebCTRL help file for more information about the module status report.

Input Signal Types


Table 2 describes the input signal types available on the I/O Flex Ex8160. Table 2. Input Signal Types
Signal Type Thermistor Description Precon type 2 (10kohm at 77 deg F). Thermistor input voltages should range between 0.489V and 3.825V. A 5VDC wetting voltage is used to detect contact position. For digital inputs, the 5VDC wetting voltage results in a 5mA maximum sense current when the contacts are closed. Any switch that has more than 41 Ohms effective resistance (0.2V) when closed must have an interposing mechanical relay when used with OEMCtrl modules. For analog inputs, the 5VDC wetting voltage results in a 1mA maximum sense current when the contacts are closed. Any switch that has more than 206 Ohms effective resistance (0.2V) when closed must have an interposing mechanical relay when used with OEMCtrl modules. 0 to 5 VDC The output impedance of a 0 to 5VDC source must not exceed 10kohms. The input impedance of the module is approximately 1Mohm.

SECTION 2

Hi-Flo
Extended Surface Multi-Pocket Air Filters
The Camfil Farr Hi-Flo offers high efficiency ASHRAE grade filtration to address today's indoor air quality problems. The Hi-Flo can remove contaminants such as fumes, smoke, bacteria, fungi, and virus-bearing droplet nuclei. The Hi-Flo is also the filter of choice for the removal of nuisance contaminants such as pollens, paper dust, and other atmospheric impurities. Hi-Flos are available in efficiencies of MERV 9, MERV 11, MERV 13 and MERV 14 when evaluated per ASHRAE Standard 52.2-1999 and have a respective MERV-A value of 9, 11, 13 or 14 when tested using the conditioning step as specified in Appendix J of the same Standard.

High Lofted Air Laid Media The Camfil Farr Hi-Flo incorporates high lofted air laid micro fiber glass media to ensure reliable efficiency throughout the life of the filter. Its small fiber diameter and uniform lofting results in consistent sub-micron particle capture and a low resistance to airflow throughout the life of the filter. A synthetic micro mesh media backing ensures media protection and support in turbulent or varying airflows. The Hi-Flo's particle capture performance and filter configuration are unaffected by dust loading and/or humidity. Controlled Media Spacing Camfil Farr is the only manufacturer to offer controlled media spacing to minimize pocket-to-pocket contact, ensure uniform airflow and allow full utilization of the media area. The effect results in the lowest life cycle product cost for your facility. Your selection of the length and number of pockets should be based upon the required airflow through the system.

Extended surface filter with controlled media spacing (CMS) for longer life and the lowest life cycle cost of any pocket filter

The above chart shows relative efficiency values at various particle sizes when tested in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007. When tested in accordance with Appendix J of that Standard the Hi-Flo maintains these efficiency values throughout the life of the filter.

A 5-star rating indicates that this filter performs in the top 20% of all products of similar construction in the HVAC industry. Factors of consideration include maintained efficiency, energy usage and resistance to air flow. Detailed evaluation information is available from your Camfil Farr sales outlet or on the web at www.camfilfarr.com.

Camfil Farr Hi-Flo

Product sheet 1203 - 0808

Camfil Farrclean air solutions

Controlled Media Spacing (continued) Typical bag filters allow pocket-to-pocket contact, causing loss of effective media area, non-uniform airflow and an excessive pressure drop over the life of the filter. Camfil Farrs variable length pocket stitching, through the use of continuous thread filaments, helps keep as many as 12 individual pockets in a perfectly aligned V-shaped configuration. This tapered pocket effect equalizes the media entrance and exiting areas. Air travels evenly through the filter at an even media velocity for uniform dust loading and a maintained low pressure drop. The benefits include: Increased filter life Reduced maintenance costs Minimized fan horsepower requirements Reduced energy expenditures.

Leak-Free Filter Performance Every Camfil Farr Hi-Flo includes a gasket on the vertical edge of the filter header. In a side-access housing, filters are mated header-to-header. The gasket prevents air bypass and ensures that the air filter will clean all of the air moving through the system. Performance Hi-Flo filters are manufactured from microfine glass fibers for consistent and long-term high efficiency performance. They are available in fractional efficiencies from 40% to 95% on particles as small as 0.3 micron in size. MERV values range from 9 to 14 when evaluated under ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007. The respective MERV-A values for each efficiency are the same as their reporting value indicating the Hi-Flo will maintain particle capture efficiency throughout the life of the filter. Configurations for any Application Camfil Farr Hi-Flos are available in a variety of configurations to suit your air movement requirements. Common configurations include from 3 to 12 pockets, depths of 15" to 36", and up to 129 square feet of effective media area. When selecting a Hi-Flo for your system, you should select a filter with the greatest effective media area within the airflow parameters and space limitations for your system. This will ensure a long filter life and a consistent low resistance to airflow over the life of the filter. Fewer filter changes will be required, thus reducing replacement, labor and disposal costs. An additional benefit includes reduced system horsepower requirements, thus lowering the facilitys energy expenditure. Lowest Life Cycle Cost

Stitch Sealant & Adhesive Bonding Camfil Farr completely seals pocket stitching to eliminate the possibility of air leakage through the stitching penetrations. This unique sealant maintains a flexibility that is unaffected by varying airflows. The media is also bonded around the pocket retainers to ensure a strong pocket-to-retainer seal and minimizes potential for pocket failure. Sure-Clench Crimp Each galvanized steel pocket retainer is fastened with Camfil Farrs exclusive SureClench Crimp, creating a positive lock between pockets and eliminating the possibility of air bypass. The pocket retainers include rolled edges to prevent damage to the media area and minimize sharp edges that may create a hazard to filter installers. Four retainer clips assist in securing pocket retainers to the header frame. Galvanized Steel Header A box-channel header, of one-piece corrosion resistant galvanized steel, includes rolled edges to prevent damage to the filter media. When combined with the Sure-Clench Crimp and galvanized pocket retainers, a rigid and durable assembly is created. Camfil Farr manufactures the Hi-Flo to be capable of withstanding up to 5.0 w.g. in normal HVAC application.

All of these components combine for the lowest life cycle cost, the lowest average pressure drop (energy savings), and consistent high efficiency particulate filtration throughout the life of the filter.

UL Class 1 Hi-Flo The Hi-Flo is also available in an Underwriters Laboratories UL Class 1 configuration. It is important to note that both classes of filters will burn when attacked by flames, and both will self-extinguish when clean. Consult factory for pricing and availability. UL Class 1 - Air filters which, when clean, do not contribute fuel when attacked by flame and emit only negligible amounts of smoke. UL Class 2 - Air filters which, when clean, burn moderately when attacked by flame, or emit moderate amounts of smoke, or both. Cambridge-Style Header

Hi-Flo

Standard Hi-Flos include a 0.88 header for filter installation into a nominal 1 deep filter track. The Cambridge Air Filter Company manufactured side-access housings that required a 1.12 header to fit in a nominal 1 filter track. To order Hi-Flos for these housings, add a W to your model number or seek factory guidance. Synthetic Media Option Camfil Farr also offers an electrostatically enhanced synthetic media extended surface pocket filter. Available in efficiencies of MERV 9, MERV 11, MERV 13 and MERV 14, the Camfil Farr S-Flo offers an additional economical choice for less demanding applications. Consult Camfil Farr Bulletin 1205.

Two-Stage Side-Access Filter Housing
The Camfil Farr 3P Glide/Pack has set the standard for side-access housing integrity for over 20 years. With its integral universal final filter holding frame virtually all of the air seen by the filter will be treated by the filter. Each Camfil Farr 3P Glide/Pack includes: 16-gauge galvanized steel construction with predrilled standing flanges to mate to existing HVAC equipment. All components are weatherproof for interior or exterior installation Dual-access doors for filter service from either side of the unit. The doors swing-open and are engineered to be square to the housing flange. UV resistant star-style handles assure a tight seal each time the access doors are opened and closed High-memory sponge neoprene door gaskets to ensure door-to-filter seal (less than one half of 1% housing to ambient leakage) A poly sponge door gasket to assure a proper doorto-filter seal A polypropylene fin seal on the main filter track to eliminate filter air bypass (less than 1/2 of 1% leakage across the final filter assembly at rated airflow) An integral pneumatic fitting for the installation of an optional static pressure gauge capable of evaluating any single stage or multiple stages of installed filters An aluminum filter track allowing for filtration combinations that include: A 2 nominal size prefilter track (with filter slide rails to facilitate easier prefilter service) A 6 or 12 deep box-style final filter with 1 nominal size header or full size box style filter in a frame assembly A pocket style final filter with header for frame or track installation A 12 deep box style carbon filter for gaseous contaminant removal For those that are concerned about air quality and desire a housing that assures that the system contaminant removal efficiency is the same as the rated filter efficiency the Camfil Farr Glide/Pack continues to set the standard by which other HVAC components are judged.

Less than of 1% air bypass/leakage guaranteed
