Determine Heating Capacity:
The specified requirement for electric heat dictates the
selection of a 50ME028 unit with a kw option that meets
or exceeds the heating load.
The Electric Resistance Heater Data table (page 30) indi
cates that the 028 unit has heating capacity options of 66,
88 and 132 kw. The 132 kw option is selected as it provides
adequate heat for this application. The kw/zone and
number of heat stages available are:

Stages of heat are controlled individually in the small zones
or collectively in large zones to provide flexible and
continuous control for each zone.
Determine fan requirements
For 48MA/50ME operation, cfm range per module is 600
to 1200 cfm. Lower flow volumes are permissible if only
first stage of heat is operated. Volumes above 1200 cfm
may cause water blow-off during cooling.
Since the various unit zones operate at different air
quantities and different external resistances, identify the
zone having the highest static pressure requirement for
the supply duct and supply outlet.
Usually, the longest duct run to the last outlet, with the
greatest number of offsets and elbows, has the greatest
static pressure requirement. Assume a duct friction analysis
has been made and the cfm and static pressure are:

The total unit (028
10
or 030) cfm is 9000. Zones 4 and 7 have
3 and 2 modules, respectively, “ganged” together to comply
with the limitation of 1200 cfm per module
The cfm for Zone 2 is 1080 with an ESP of 0.8 in. wg. This
module appears to possess the highest friction loss. There
fore, the main fan static pressure is established at 8 in. wg
ESP.
Enter Fan Performance table at 9000 cfm, .8 in. wg ESP
and read: 1020 rpm and 5.4 bhp. The 028 indoor fan motor
data shows the standard 10 hp motor with a maximum bhp
of 11.5. Therefore, 5 4 bhp for this selection is satisfactory.
In the Physical Data table, 2 pulley selections are available
with the 028: Pulley A, shipped mounted; Pulley B, shipped
in the blower compartment. Pulley A has a fixed pitch and
at 1095 rpm is close enough to the required cfm and should
be used. Pulley B at 1230 rpm allows selection of the unit
at higher cfm’s and static pressures.
