Staged Air Volume (Sav) Control: 2−Speed Fan With Variable Frequency Drive (Vfd); Additional Vfd Installation And Troubleshooting - Carrier 48TC 17 Series Service And Maintenance Instructions

Bearings
This fan system uses bearings featuring concentric split
locking collars. The collars are tightened through a cap
screw bridging the split portion of the collar. The cap
screw has a Torx T25 socket head. To tighten the locking
collar: Hold the locking collar tightly against the inner
race of the bearing and torque the cap screw to 65−70
in−lb (7.4−7.9 Nm). See Fig. 7.

STAGED AIR VOLUME (SAV) CONTROL:
2−SPEED FAN WITH VARIABLE
FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD)
Staged Air Volume (SAV) Indoor Fan Speed
System
NOTE: The SAV option is not available on units with
Humidi−MiZerR adaptive humidification system.
The SAV system utilizes a Fan Speed control board and
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to automatically adjust
the indoor fan motor speed in sequence with the unit's
ventilation, cooling and heating operation. Conforming to
ASHRAE 90.1 2010 Standard Section 6.4.3.10.b, during
the first stage of cooling operation the SAV system will
adjust the fan motor to provide two- thirds (2/3) of the
design airflow rate for the unit. When the call for the
second stage of cooling is required, the SAV system will
allow the design airflow rate for the unit established
(100%). During the heating mode, the SAV system will
allow total design airflow rate (100%) operation. During
ventilation mode, the SAV system will operate the fan
motor at 2/3 speed.
