Amana HVK03E Installation Instructions Manual

PTAC HYDRONIC HEAT KIT
DESCRIPTION
The PTAC Hydronic Kit is an enclosure kit that provides
complete coverage of all PTAC plumbing and coils while still
allowing access to controls. The kit can only be installed
where there is a central boiler for heating the water. It does
not affect unit heating and cooling operations. The hydronic
kit chassis slides out for service without removing any
hydronic plumbing. The electrical connections are plug-in
type to assist in kit installation.
NOTE: Heat pump models will operate on heat pump
function down to the switchover temperature before operat-
ing on hydronic heat.
Freeze Protection
For PTAC Hydronic Coil freeze protection on hot water
systems, the hydronic system should use an antifreeze

solution. However, the addition of antifreeze will reduce the
capacity of the hydronic coil and affect system sizing. The
higher the antifreeze concentration, the greater the capacity
reduction. Therefore, for optimum unit performance, only use
an antifreeze concentration that will protect to the lowest
ambient temperature expected. A 20% solution will protect
to approximately 15°F. A 50% solution protect to -35°F.
Use an antifreeze that is formulated for hydronic use. DO
