All motors used in the low static fan coil units


are inherently protected by means of thermal
cut-out embedded in the winding. This thermal
cut-out is calibrated to trip out when the winding
reaches a pre determined temperature. The
thermal cut out will automatically reset when
the temperature returns to a safe limit.
Efficiency and Power Factor
SKM low static fan coil units are equipped
with permanent split capacitor motors
because of their high efficiency and higher
power factor than that of shaded pole motors
being used by many other manufacturers of
fan coil units. The efficiency range of
permanent split capacitor motors varies
between 50 & 60 % as compared to 30 to 40
% for shaded pole motors with power factor
0.6 to 0.7 while the power factor of a
permanent split capactor motor approaches
1.0. SKM fan coil units thus help in
maintaining the total power factor of the
installation at a high acceptable value.

Optional Features
The following are standard options available
for SKM Lo Static Fan Coil Units :

Notes
Nominal capacity ratings are based on nominal air flow rate; air entering temperature DB/WB 80/67oF (26.5/19.4oC), 45F (7.2C) entering chilled
water temperature and 10oF (5.5oC) water temperature rise.
For conditions other than rated, use correction factors for total and sensible capacities.
For air flow rates other than nominal see correction factors.

temperature, read sensible
cooling capacity correction factor
(SCCF).
Above factors to be multiplied by nominal
capacity on page 6 to obtain corrected sensible
& total cooling capacity.

and coil size to match. It is possible to obtain different unit size with or
without different coil depths to meet given design parameters.

Selection
Selection Considerations
In selecting low static fan coil units for a specific application the factors to
be considered should include:
-

Available space for the unit including floor to ceiling height

Presence of high sensible or peripheral loads in space

Functionality of intended space usage

Availability of access for pipes, drains & power.

Compatibility with intended space finish

Fresh air and ventilation requirements

Noise level desired at peak or part load operations

Control system desired especially if winter heating is required

Economy of layout

The correct unit with correct coil size is obtained only when required
cfm at defined speed; i.e. High, Medium or Low to meet sensible
load of the space is matched to the correct coil providing the required
sensible cooling or outlet temperature at given flow rate and design
temperature rise with the unit operating at functional sound levels.
To achieve this the engineer or designer must not only check aesthetic
needs but also space limitations, psychrometric feasibility, circulation and
ventilation, room acoustical effect, control system, piping accesses including
overall chilled water circuits and effect of diversity on same.

Selection Procedure
1.

Select unit that delivers approximately air flow required at desired


speed and external static pressure from air flow rate tables. Select unit
with air flow equal or more than that required.

2.

Once a particular model or models in the low static series is selected


after consideration of the above factors, it is necessary to select the unit

Apply correction factors to selected unit and find out the actual total
and sensible cooling capacity.

3.

Repeat step 1 if required parameter is not met with actual values


obtained from initially selected unit.

4. Find TCCF by dividing specified capacity by total capacity in Step 3;
23.8/26.1 = 0.91
5. Enter chart 1 on Page 7 at TCCF = 0.91 and draw a horizontal line until
the intersection with entering air wet bulb temperature and then draw
a vertical line. From the point of intersection with entering water
temperature read WTR = 10.9F and from the point of intersection with
entering air dry bulb temperature read SCCF = 1.18.
6. Multiply sensible cooling capacity in Step 3 by SCCF (step 5)
17.84 x 1.18 = 21.1 MBH
7. Find water flow rate (GPM)
GPM = Actual total cooling capacity(MBH) = 23.8

2. The air flow correction factor = 926/1000 = 92.6% using Table 7 on
page 9.
Ft = 0.95
Fs = 0.94
3. Find nominal capacity for model size 10/4R from Table 5 and apply
correction factor obtained from Step 2.
Total capacity
= 32.2 x 0.95 = 30.59 MBH
Sensible capacity
= 22.3 x 0.94 = 20.96 MBH
4. Find SCCF by dividing the specified sensible capacity by sensible
capacity in Step 3; 20.3/20.96 = 0.97
5. Enter Chart 1 at SCCF = 0.97 and draw a horizontal line and from
the point of intersection with entering air dry bulb temperature,
draw a vertical line. From the point of intersection with entering
water temperature read WTR = 10.7F. The point of intersection
with entering air wet bulb read TCCF = 0.86
6. Find the actual total cooling capacity

Table 10

The Sound Power Data tabulated in Table 10 is the sound power level data for low static fan coil
units. Using this data, the sound pressure level resulting from the fan coil units in an occupied
space can be determined in accordance with procedures established in ASHRAE std. 36-72 by
subtracting the room absorption effect from sound power level. Plot of the resulting sound
pressure values on an octave band NC curve Chart 5 determines the NC value for specified usage.
The NC level rating corresponds to the highest NC curve touched by the noise spectrum.
To arrive at a final sound level in dBA of the unit in the conditioned space, factors other than
room absorption effect should be taken into consideration like duct work, insulation,
grilles, etc.
