Chapter 1: Overview

Thank you for choosing a unit manufactured by AIRSYS REFRIGERATION ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

(BEIJING) CO., LTD.

The AIRSYS line of wall mounted HVAC systems is optimized for energy efficiency. These systems are

uniquely designed for the efficient removal of heat generated by electronics from enclosed shelters. The supply

air of the AIRSYS system is delivered from the bottom of the machine and the exhaust is at the top, the opposite

of a traditional HVAC system. This “bottom throw” is designed to take full advantage of the fact that hotter air

rises. With the exhaust located higher within the shelter, every rotation of the fan removes more heat. The cooler

air supplied at the bottom accelerates this natural process. This is just one of many design features that makes the

AIRSYS HVAC systems among the most energy efficient in the world.

Another feature that promotes energy efficiency is the robustly designed economizer, described as “free

cooling.” This feature combines with a powerful controller and can provide 100% cooling capacity. This Free

Cooling function is accomplished consuming less than 500 Watts and provides cooling benefit whenever the

outdoor temperature is just a few degrees lower than the inside temperature. This feature alone can save telecom

operators significant utility dollars, especially in cool weather climates.

Along with the energy efficiency, these systems are simple to operate, maintain, and service. The AIRSYS

design team is committed to listening and responding to the customer community. As a result, these systems

have continuously evolved with customer-defined features that have improved the overall quality and the user

experience. Usability features include:

Simple unobstructed access to all key components for PM and servicing

Selectable alarm relays (NC or NO) to enable the system to adapt to the customer rather than the other

way around

Since the FCB is powered directly from the DC plant, it will continue to operate in the event of prime power

loss. Even if the outside temperature is higher than the temperature set point, the FCB is programmed to

recognize the need for emergency ventilation when the existing HVAC systems are unable to cool the site.

With a suite of best in class components from around the globe, the AIRSYS FCB delivers quality and reliability

while substantially reducing cost of operation.

Page 7 of 52

Product Overview

Unit Operating Modes The air conditioning system has three modes of operation:

I. The free cooling mode (see figure 1)

II. The mechanical cooling assist mode

III. The emergency cooling /ventilation mode

The control system determines the unit’s mode of operation based on the temperature and humidity sensor

readings.

Figure 1: Free Cooling Mode

Free Cooling Mode When the operating conditions for free cooling are met, the control system switches the air damper to the free

cooling position. Cooler air from outside is delivered to the shelter by the supply air fan. At the same time, hot

air in the shelter is discharged to the outdoor environment. The existing third party HVAC units are “off” in this

mode.

Mechanical Cooling Assist Mode

The lower the T (T = Temp inside – Temp outside) the less cooling capacity the FCB has. There is a point for

every shelter when that T is small enough where the FCB can no longer maintain the inside temp to the

designated set-points. When this occurs the FCB will ask the existing HVAC systems to engage to provide

additional cooling capacity in order to maintain the site temperature.

NOTE: As long as T ≥ 3.6°F the FCB will provide cooling benefit and will continue to operate to minimize

compressor run time. It is normal for the FCB to be providing this benefit during Mechanical Cooling Assist

Mode.

Emergency Cooling/Ventilation Mode If the mechanical cooling assist mode fails to keep the site cool enough whereby the site temp exceeds the upper

set point by a few degrees then the FCB will shift into Emergency/Ventilation mode. In this mode the FCB will

continue to monitor outside and inside temperature and will provide Free Cooling as long as Tinside-Toutside >

0ºF. This will typically only occur when the system would need Mechanical Cooling Assist Mode and the

Mechanical Cooling fails to work. This emergency mode can occur whenever there is a loss of prime power or

there is complete failure of either HVAC system to cool the site to within a few degrees of the upper set point.

Ease of Control and Configuration

The FCB controller has a convenient Programmable LED Display (PLD). This three-button PLD is the user

interface by which an operator can do the following:

Check current status of the system such as sensor readings and operating mode

Change factory set points

Review alarms and alarm history

Many of these same functions can be accessed remotely via an RS485 communication interface built into the

Chapter4: Preventive Maintenance

Important. The AIRSYS WPUs are designed to be among the highest performing in the world for both

energy efficiency and reliability. Good preventive maintenance techniques are a crucial part of maintaining that

high level of energy efficiency and reliability. It is also important to keep track of findings during each PM event

so that trends can be established for future reference.

Preventive Maintenance Schedule This section provides guidelines for the owner of an AIRSYS unit to ensure that the equipment continues to

perform well. Following these guidelines for regular care a will help to avoid serious damage to components and

expensive repairs by skilled personnel. Table 14: Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Task Recommended Frequency Comments

Check general operations 12 months Perform the start test

Preliminary air filter inspection/cleaning and replace if needed

Based on local conditions Depends on the amount and frequency of airborne particulates in the area

Inspect the two supply fans 12 months Working normally

Check air damper 12 months

Inspect all wiring for signs of wear Based on local conditions More frequently in areas with active rodent or insect populations that can damage wiring

Inspect all hardware for “snug” connection 12 months Make note of any loose hardware so it can be checked again at next scheduled PM

Danger. Stop the machine and remove the power supply from the equipment before performing

maintenance operations.

Important. All PM should be performed by an AIRSYS Authorized Service Technician (AAST) to

ensure the manufacturer’s warranty is preserved.

General Operation Check It is a good idea to compare the operation of the equipment with the results of the previous inspection. Any

differences in operating characteristics can then be easily identified.

A detailed and periodic visual inspection of the equipment and a general cleaning are always important to ensure

good operation. Before beginning the PM steps, you should verify the general system status by looking at the

areas outlined in this section.

Wiring and Components For wiring and components, perform a preliminary check and a white test.:

Check that the system has been installed correctly.

Check that the wiring cable sections meet current capacity. Report any incorrect mounting and setting

to the AAST who installed the system so that the necessary modifications can be made.

Check that the grounding cables have been installed in the controller box and unit as shown in the

graphic.

Page 45 of 52

Perform a Functional Test

The purpose of this operation is to simulate real operation without damaging components due to incorrect

operation or protection failures.

Use the start test to check that the relays, breakers, and components work normally. For details on executing this

test, see “Executing the start test” on page 33.

When the supply fan turns on, the relay KA1 is triggered. If not, check the wiring.

Replace Air Filter A dirty air filter reduces the air volume and the system capacity. This problem can be avoided by periodically

and regularly cleaning or replacing filters.

The frequency at which filters must be checked depends on the amount of dust in the environment. If during

inspection, the filters are frequently very dirty, you should increase the frequency of checks and maintenance.

Check Air Damper The air damper is a critical element in the WPU. If it does not function normally, the free cooling function will

fail. This can be avoided by periodically and regularly checking the following:

Check if the damper can open and close normally.

Check if the damper actuator is OK (no damage).

Check if the damper rotor is OK (no damage).

Check if the nuts are properly tightened, as shown in the following figure.
