  • Page 27: Technical Description

    – Configuration of network settings 3.1.1 DENCO-OfficeCool This is a variation of a Multi-DENCO unit designed specifically to address the needs of comfort cooling. The design is aimed at reducing fan velocities, reduced sound and features for integration with Local Environment Control Units (LECUs) allowing for adjustable environment to suit comfort levels.

  • Page 28: Operating Limits

    Default configuration for standard design. 1.00MPa for certain configurations Operating modes A basic Multi-DENCO unit only has the capacity to perform cooling, therefore only being able to control the upper limit of the temperature of the room. Heaters and humi- difiers can be added to the design to allow for control of both the lower limit of tempe- rature and to control the humidification of the room.

  • Page 29: Operating Strategies

    FreeCool circuit will become available again. Operating strategies Multi-DENCO's inbuilt advance software combined with the latest EC variable techno- logy and networking capability, enables the unit to operate with intelligent control stra- tegies to increase performance or maximise energy savings. In most instances we would recommend using a Running Redundancy strategy to help maximise the energy savings possible.
  • Page 30 This also saves energy as the Multi-DENCO fans only supply the same amount of air to the floor void, as the amount of air being removed by servers.

  • Page 31: Components

    Multi-DENCO Technical Description Components Fig. 3-3: Components Casing The casing design gives the unit a high level of air tightness. The side and rear panels are flat and are flush with the edge of the frame. The front doors are curved and are removable during servicing.
  • Page 32 Multi-DENCO EC fan All Multi-DENCO units use direct driven, variable speed, high efficiency EC plug back- ward curved fan with three dimensional profiled blades as standard. The impeller is optimally balanced according to ISO1940 and fan speed modulates on standard set- tings.

  • Page 33: Heat Rejection Systems

    Condensers can be installed either with a direct 1 to 1 relationship with the indoor unit or 2 condensers can be used with a single Multi-DENCO unit as part of 1 single circuit. This arrangement is refer to as 'twin condensers'.
  • Page 34 Condensing units perform the same functions as condensers, but they also contain the compressor. Used for the X-Version of Multi-DENCO and H-Version of DENCO-Office- Cool, usually the indoor unit would be used with 1 condensing unit, but for certain unit sizes, 2 condensing units can be used.

    If the unit is stored for a period of time before installation or commissioning, it must be protected from the elements, build-up of dust and dirt! Handling Multi-DENCO units are heavy and can have a high centre of gravity. Failure to safely secure the equipment may result in death or serious injury. •...

  • Page 36: Storage

    Shipping and Storage Multi-DENCO • Before lifting or shipping the unit, make sure that all mountings are fixed and secured. • Only use lifting gear with sufficient load carrying capacity. • Never use damaged lifting equipment. • Ropes/chains shall not be knotted or be exposed to sharp edges.

  • Page 37: Installation

    – (If applicable to local regulation) Check installation site fulfill requirements as defined in EN 378-3:2008+A1:2012. – It is recommended that once the the Multi-DENCO unit is located, then it is fixed in placed (e.g. bolted, bracketed etc) to prevent unwanted movement or vibrations.
  • Page 38 5.1.2 Noise consideration at installation site It is important noise has been considered before the installation. Options are available to equip your Multi-DENCO unit with sound reduction features. Noise is usually a high consideration of DENCO-OfficeCool installations therefore. Ask your local sales repre- sentative for details.

  • Page 39: Substructures

    Multi-DENCO Installation Substructures 5.2.1 Under unit drip tray To protect the floor underneath a unit from any condensation, a drip tray can be moun- ted underneath. The drip tray can be used in a raised floor (underneath a base frame) or with a plinth.
  • Page 40 Installation Multi-DENCO 5.2.5 Ceiling connection duct For units that wish to connect with a suspended ceiling, a connection duct can be used to create an air path. The ceiling connection duct is made of the same material as the unit's panels. The height of ceiling connection ducts are made to specification and they can bolt onto the top of the close control unit through a service panel on either side.

  • Page 41: Unit Placement

    • Never stand beneath suspended loads. Multi-DENCO units are heavy and can have a high centre of gravity. The unit, or parts of the unit can, tip and fall. Failure to safely install the equipment may result in death or serious injury.

  • Page 48 Installation Multi-DENCO 5.6.3 Positioning The condenser must be installed on a level surface that can support the weight of the equipment and allowing for access from all sides. If multiple condensers are used for 1 indoor unit, the condensers must be installed on the same level and the same distance to the indoor unit.
  • Page 49 Multi-DENCO Installation 5.6.4 Clearances Condensers must be located in an unobstructed position to ensure adequate air circu- lation through the cooling coil. Care must be taken to avoid air recirculation from one unit to another. Clearances around the condensers must be in accordance with condenser specific drawings supplied in the unit documentation.

  • Page 50: Fan Touch Protection

    It is extremely important that no one can come into contact with the fans within the Multi-DENCO units during operation or immediately after operation. Users must wait 5 minutes after turning off a Multi-DENCO unit before removing any safety guard, to ensure fans have come to a complete stop.
