Glossary

Section Digit Codes Description

Brand

A–AE Air

AE Air is the commercial division of First Co. and specializes in Chilled Water units and Water Source Heat Pumps.

Coil Configuration

3 – 2 Pipe 3 Row (Spec Document)
4 – 2 Pipe 4 Row (Spec Document)
30 – 2 Pipe 3 Row
31 – 4 Pipe 3 Row Cooling, 1 Row HW
32 – 4 Pipe 3 Row Cooling, 2 Row HW
33 – 4 Pipe 3 Row, 3 Row
41 – 4 Pipe 4 Row Cooling, 1 Row HW
42 – 4 Pipe 4 Row, 2 Row
43 – 4 Pipe 4 Row, 3 Row
60 – 2 Pipe, 6 Row

A 2 – pipe system has one pipe for hot water supply and one for return, and can provide heating or cooling at any given time depending on the water source. A 4 – pipe system has two separate pipes for hot water and two for chilled water allowing for simultaneo us heating and cooling in different zones of a building. Multiple rows of tubes increase the coil’s surface area allowing it to transfer more heat to the air passing over the coil.

Coil Connection Side

L or LH – Left Hand
R or RH – Right Hand

The hot water supply should be connected to the bottom connection of the coil on one side. Please select which side of the unit you prefer the coil connection.

Controls

A – Line Voltage
B – 24V 3 Speed
D – 24V 3 Speed w/Toggle Switch
G – 24V ( 0 – 10V)
J – 24V (0 – 10V) w/Toggle Switch

Three-speed controls allow for three specific fan speeds – low, medium and high. A toggle switch has a lever or tab that can be flipped between “on” and “off” positions, allowing for simple manual control.

Drain Pan

G – Standard Galvanized Steel
S – Stainless Steel

Galvanized Steel Drain Pans are a cost – effective option with moderate corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel Drain Pans offer superior durability and corrosion resistance.

Heat Option

E-KW Heat

A higher kW in HVAC indicates more capacity for heating or cooling, but it must be matched with the specific requirements of the space and considered alongside efficiency ratings to ensure optimal performance and energy consumption.

Motor Type

P–PSC
E or X–ECM

Permanent Split Capacitor motors run at a fixed speed and operate at full power regardless of the demand for heating or cooling. Electronically Commutated Motors are a type of variable speed motor with built – in inverters and microprocessors that adjust speed based on demand.

Series

EHBC, PHBC, CHBC, RHBC
EHH, PHH, CHH, RHH
HYB, PHYB

Name of product family or model name

Static Pressure

0–Standard to High Static
S–Low Static Model

Static pressure is the amount of pressure required to overcome static created by external objects such as ductwork, grilles, etc. The Low Static Model is designed for ductless applications.

Unit Configuration

0–Open Blower
P–Return Air Plenum
R–Recessed, Telescoping Panel
C–Cabinet Exposed

Ceiling Fan Coils can be configured to accommodate placement in the installation point. See specification document for physical dimensions and renders of each option.

Unit Size

CFM

An air-conditioner’s unit size or nominal capacity is the output level it can handle when functioning in either cooling or heating mode. Cubic feet per minute (CFM) measures how much airflow volume passes through a space in a minute.

Voltage

120 / 1Ph / 60Hz
208 / 1Ph / 60Hz
230 / 1Ph / 60Hz
277 / 1Ph / 60Hz

Voltage is the electrical pressure that pushes an electric current through a circuit. Higher voltage indicates a more powerful pressure. Most HVAC systems use with 115 (120)V or 230V depending on size and capacity.

OPTIONS

Filter Frame

0–None
1–1” Frame

If you select a 1” filter type, you may need a 1” filter frame to hold the filter.

Filter Type

0–None
A–1” Std Temporary

Temporary / disposable and permanent filters are available in a variety of thicknesses and MERV ratings. A one – inch disposable filter is the standard filter type when optional.

Insulation

0–Std Fiberglass
C–Closed Cell Foam
F–Foil Faced Insulation

General Insulation is available in a variety of types and can be selected based on specific product or environmental needs. Closed Cell Foam insulation is made from a dense foam of tightly packed “closed cells” which provides high thermal resistance. Foil – Face Insulation has a reflective foil layer attached to one or both sides which reflects radiant heat, reducing heat transfer.
