Factory Installed Economizer

When cool and dry, the economizer uses outside air to cool the shelter. The full flow economizer provides the same air flow in the economizer mode as in mechanical cooling. The economizer provides temperature control, energy cost savings, and increased reliability by decreasing the operating hours of the compressor and the condenser fan.

Factory and field installed accessories can be used to meet specific requirements.

• 575V-3ø-60Hz
• 380V-3ø-50hz

Electric Heat Options
An electric heat option is available for Marvair air conditioners and heat pumps to supplement, where required, the heat pump cycle. Heating options vary by model. Each model's Product Data Sheet lists its available heating options.

Hard Start Kit
Used on single phase equipment to give the compressor higher starting torque under low voltage conditions.  (Field installed only) (Note: Not recommended for use on scroll compressors.)

Dehumidification
Allows the electric heat to operate simultaneously with cooling. Note: The electrical characteristics and requirements of air conditioners with the dehumidification option are different from standard air conditioners. Refer to the appropriate Summary Rating Charts for the electrical characteristics of units with Electric Reheat. Units with reheat require a thermostat and a dehumidistat for proper operation.

Protective Coating Packages

Typically, only non-economizer units are used in corrosive environments, but all Marvair air conditioner are available with corrosion protection. Two corrosion protection packages are offered - one for the condenser section (Coastal Environmental Package) and the other for the entire unit (Coat-All Package).

The Coastal Environmental Package includes:

• Corrosion resistant fasteners
• Sealed or partially sealed condenser fan motor
• Protective coating applied to all exposed internal copper and metal in the condenser section
• Protective coating on the condenser coil (Luvata Insitu®) contains ES2 (embedded stainless steel pigment) technology.
  

The Coat all Package includes all of the above, plus:

• Protective coating on the evaporator coil (Luvata Insitu®) contains ES2 (embedded stainless steel pigment) technology
• Protective coating on exterior and interior components and sheet metal. (Note: the internal sheet metal which is insulated, bottom outside panel, and the internal control box are not coated)
  

Note: the internal sheet metal which is insulated and the internal control box are not coated.

Protective Coil Coatings
Either the condenser or evaporator coil can be coated. For harsh conditions, e.g., power plants, paper mills or sites were the unit will be exposed to salt water, the coil should be coated. Note: Cooling capacity may be reduced by up to 5% on units with coated coils.

Air Conditioner Transition Curb
A sheet metal curb that enables MAA1042/1048/1060 conditioner to replace an MAA1030/1036. Curb transitions supply and return openings of the 3-1/2, 4 and 5 ton units to the smaller openings.

Hot Gas By-Pass
Non-economizer units only – Used in specialty applications; i.e., Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) buildings, to prevent magnetic voltage disturbance caused by compressor cycling.  Hot gas by-pass option packages are available to allow operation to 20°F (-7°C). Please refer to Hot Gas By-pass Application Bulletin for details.

High Filtration
Selected units are built with larger blowers/motors for use with higher efficiency filters with MERV ratings of 11, 13 and 14 when tested to ASHRAE 52.2. Units with economizers have a prefilter on the outside air. Not available on the AVPA12. Contact your Marvair representative for specific models.

Dirty Filter Indicator
A factory installed option that measures the difference in pressure across the internal filter and illuminates a LED when the pressure exceeds the desired difference.

Phase Monitor
Continuously measures the voltage of each of the three phases. The monitor separately senses low and high voltage, voltage unbalance including phase loss and phase reversal. A red LED glows to indicate a fault. When all voltages are acceptable, a green LED glows.  Automatically resets when voltages and phases are within operating tolerances.
Note: Not required on 1ø units.

Thermal Expansion Valve
Available on all ComPac air conditioners. Improves performance in hot ambient temperatures.

Sealed Condenser Fan Motors
Recommended on units to be installed in corrosive sites, e.g., near the ocean and in deserts with blowing sand.

Compressor Sound Jacket
To reduce sound of compressor.

Extreme Duty Package
Allows Marvair air conditioners to operate in extremely cold and hot ambient conditions. The Extreme Duty Kit is always factory installed and is available on all air Marvair conditioners. Units without an economizer will operate from 0°F to 131°F (-18° to 55°C). Units with an economizer will operate from -40°F to 131°F (-40° to 55°C).

The Extreme Duty Package includes a suction line accumulator, thermal expansion valve (TXV), crankcase heater, hard start kit, an auto reset high pressure switch and an outdoor thermostat and fan cycle switch. The fan cycle control is standard on all Marvair air conditioners and operates based upon the liquid line pressure. The outside thermostat opens whenever the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and closes when the outside temperature is 50°F (10°C) or higher. Whenever the temperature is below 50°F (10°C), the fan cycle switch is in the circuit; when temperatures are 50°F (10°C) or higher, the fan cycle switch is not in the circuit. The outdoor thermostat is used with a TXV to prevent excessive cycling or “hunting” of the TXV.

Lockable Disconnect Access Cover Plate
The access plate to the service disconnect switch can be equipped with a lockable cover.

Desert Duty Package
Our standard air conditioners will operate in outside ambient temperatures up to 120°F (48.9°C) The Desert Duty package is a factory installed package of components and cabinet modifications to allow operation in ambient temperatures up 131°F (55°C). Standard features of the Desert Duty package include a thermal expansion valve and a sealed condenser fan motor. Cabinet modifications include a slotted panel in the base pan that improves condenser air flow and also provides access to the compressor and condenser fan motor. To prevent sand and dust infiltration, the electrical control box is sealed. A closed loop design on the unit insures that no outside air is introduced into the shelter. Note: the ComPac II unit with the economizer  may be ordered with the Desert Duty Package. If an economizer equipped conditioner is required with the Desert Duty Package, sand intrusion into the shelter should be considered.

Washable Filter
Spun aluminum construction allows cleaning of filters with water.

Hot Gas Reheat (HGR)
A Hot Gas Reheat coil and controls allow the indoor humidity of the controlled environment to be maintained at or below a certain humidity set point. These units do not have the ability to add humidity to the room. Dehumidification is achieved by operating mechanical cooling in conjunction with a hot gas reheat coil.

Right & Left Side Compressor Location
The air conditioners can be built with the compressor on the opposite side to facilitate service access when two units are installed side by side. In the MAA1020-1024-1030-1036, the standard location for the compressor is on the right hand side. In the MAA1042-1048-1060, the standard location for the compressor is on the left hand side. In the MAA1072, the compressor is accessed from the front of the unit and an opposing configuration is not required.
