ROOM AIR DISTRIBUTION All PoolPak™ models provide continuous air recirculation, and with a good air distribution system, will promote uniform space conditions. To remove the required moisture and maintain controlled conditions, it is essential that there be adequate air movement and distribution in the natatorium.

PoolPak™ System. Return grilles can be placed high in the space to reduce return ductwork, however removal of Chloramines from the occupied area has become much more of a design consideration and so low returns are favored by poolroom designers.
Ducts can be fabric, aluminum, PVC, or galvanized steel. Even though “dry air” is being supplied back to the pool, do not use duct board or similar materials. If the PoolPak™ unit is installed in an area that is below the natatorium’s dew point temperature, the ducts may require insulation, pitching and drainage.
System’s major function is to dehumidify the pool enclosure air through a vapor compression cycle. During this cycle the PoolPak™ System recycles the sensible and latent heat and places it back into the pool water and air as needed. This recycling process saves money and keeps your pool environment efficient and safe.
“grains of moisture per pound of dry air” and is directly related to the dew point temperature. The ECC-PCP uses dew point control to operate the PoolPak™ unit and maintain the moisture level below the setpoint. The space dry bulb temperature and relative humidity determine the dew point temperature. By varying the space temperature and space relative humidity set points, the dew point set point is changed.
Section II: Principles, Functions, and Features If pool water heating is required (AWH models only), the hot gas flows into a pool water condenser, where it adds energy to the incoming pool water. This heats the pool water while the refrigerant is condensed into a warm liquid. If space cooling is called for, the refrigerant flows to the auxiliary air conditioning condenser bypassing the air reheat coil and pool water condenser and allowing cool air from the evaporator coil to provide space ECC-PCP CONTROL SYSTEM...
Section II: Principles, Functions, and Features NETWORKING MULTIPLE UNITS ECC-PCP networking allows up to four PoolComPak™ units to be connected together.

Section III: Performance and Sizing ELECTRIC DUCT HEATER General Duct Heater Information Power wiring should incorporate properly sized fuses or motor rated circuit breakers. A disconnect must be fitted within easy access and sight of the unit. Supply voltage must be maintained within +/- 10% of design voltage on both single and three phase units.
SECTION IV: INSTALLATION PCP INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION Installation requires the unit to be placed on a roof mounted curb, the mechanical room floor, an appropriate location in the pool room, or outside on an equipment housekeeping pad. Isolation pads should be placed under the unit to minimize transmission of noise due to unit operation.
The condensate may be piped to a drain or returned to the pool if local codes allow. If returned to the pool, the condensate should be piped to the skimmer. PoolPak™ International recommends neither for, nor against, the practice of returning condensate to the pool. The overflow drain should be piped in a similar fashion. The installer should review the local codes prior to making the decision of where to dispose of the condensate.
Section IV: Installation CURB MOUNTING Illustrated in figure 4-2 is a curb that has been designed specifically for the PoolComPak™ product line. The outside dimensions of the curb are such that the base of PoolComPak™ extends over the edge of the curb all the way around. This aids in preventing rainwater from getting between the base of the PoolComPak™...
A ¾” hole must be drilled for the 6-conductor cable which connects the remote interface unit to the PoolPak™ unit. The below is specific mounting instructions that correspond to the mounting schematic below: 1.
Section IV: Installation COLD SURFACE TEMPERATURE SENSOR (2) This sensor is used to measure the temperature of the coldest surface in the pool enclosure. The sensor is an aluminum bar 1” long by ¼” square with a clearance hole for a number 8 screw and two 6” wires on one end. When the temperature of the surface drops to within 5 F of the space air dew point the humidity set point will be automatically reset downward to help prevent condensation on the cold surface.
Section IV: Installation WARNING! When economizer option is selected, adequate exhaust capacity via a separate fan must be specified to ensure the natatorium pressure remains slightly negative. Failure to specify adequately sized exhaust system may result in damage to structure and pool odors may be forced into other areas of the building. OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECONOMIZER OPTION ONLY) (4) The outside air temperature sensor is installed only when the outside air economizer option is included.
Section IV: Installation AUXILIARY POOL WATER HEATING SYSTEM (AWH MODEL ONLY*) (6) The auxiliary pool water heating system is provided by others. Typically a gas fired or electric pool water heater is used. The ECC-PCP provides a dry contact closure that signals a need for auxiliary water heating. The contacts of the ECC- PCP may be connected directly to the heater’s control circuit provided the circuit is 24 VAC maximum and the current does not exceed 1 amp inductive.
Section IV: Installation BUILDING FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM (9) The ECC-PCP can receive a contact closure signal from a building fire control system. This input of the controller must be connected to dry (voltage free) contacts only. When this input receives a contact closure, the PoolComPak™ unit compressor and fan will be shut down and the remote interface unit will show an alarm condition.
Condensate may be returned to the pool (if local codes allow), but PoolPak™ International neither recommends nor disapproves this practice. The installer should check local codes prior to making this decision. Condensate must be filtered prior to being returned to the pool.

If units are placed end to end, the minimum distance between the units is 4 feet.
Section IV: Installation Decorative Fences Fences must have 50% free area, with 1 foot undercut, a “W” minimum clearance, and must not exceed the tops of the unit. If these requirements are not met, the unit must be installed as indicated for “Units in Pits”. Figure 4-13.
Section IV: Installation Sizing: • The lines must be sized and routed so that oil is carried through the system. Using smaller lines than recommended will give excessive pressure drops, resulting in reduced capacity and increased power consumption. Oversized lines could result in an oil flow problem within the system and possible compressor damage.
Section IV: Installation Refrigerant and Oil Charging: • PoolPak™ units are shipped with the required charge for self contained operation only. The remote ACC option does NOT provide the refrigerant charge or oil required for the ACC and line sets.

SECTION V: OPERATION ECC-PCP REMOTE INTERFACE UNIT Figure 5-1. RIU Keypad PCP_EG_StraightOnKeypadAnnotated_20121204.eps The ECC-PCP Remote Interface Unit (RIU) is designed around the Carel pGD0, 4-line x 20 character, backlit, LCD display module. The RIU displays are accessed through six backlit selection buttons. They consist of a Return/ Enter Key, Up Key, Down Key, Program Key, Alarm Key, and Escape Key, as shown above.
Section V: Operation • DEHUMID (SURFACE) Indicates the space requires dehumidification. The word SURFACE indicates that the unit is temporarily lowering the dew point set point to minimize condensation at the cold surface temperature sensor. • ECONOMIZER MODE Indicates the unit is cooling the space with outside air. ECONOMIZER MODE is only shown if the optional economizer system is present.
Section V: Operation PURGE MODE CONTROL MENU CAUTION It is the user’s responsibility to use this feature properly to prevent freeze damage to downstream equip- ment. 100% outside air at below freezing conditions has the potential to cause serious damage. Purge Mode causes the unit to force the optional, field-provided, economizer dampers and fan to full open, introducing large quantities of outside air to the space.
Section V: Operation ECC-PCP NETWORK OPERATION Networked ECC-PCP units operate in a MASTER/SLAVE environment. This means that one unit (master) determines heating, cooling, and dehumidification requirements and broadcasts them on the network to the other units (slaves). This ensures that all units work together instead of against other. Each networked unit contains all sensor and controls necessary for independent operation and is capable of acting in the master role.
Section V: Operation water temperature setting, this parameter, when set to NO, requires this unit to be displayed on the control panel before changing any of the set points. The other screens for Pool Water Temperature Control, Staged Dehumidification, and Stage 2 Offset are not available when this parameter is set to NO.
Section V: Operation The following digital output screens are available: • Supply Fan • Compressor • Bypass Solenoid • Water Heating Solenoid • Reheat Solenoid • AC Solenoid • Aux Water Heat • Alarm Output • ACC Run Signal • Economizer •...
Section V: Operation Humidity Control This menu contains parameters that configure the humidity control routines of the dehumidifier. Water Temp Ctrl This menu contains parameters that configure the compressor based water heating system of the dehumidifier. • Water Heat First: This parameter indicates whether the control routine will use the compressor for water heating when there is no dehumidification requirement.
