2. Summary of air handler IMPORTANT The iFLOW hydronic air handlers are designed to deliver the highest performance rating of any air handler regardless of the hot water A field fabricated auxiliary drain pan with a drain pipe connection is source.
All air handlers require a field supplied single speed or 3-speed pump, galvanized steel. The inside of the cabinet is fully insulated with ½” to be controlled by the iFLOW circulator control. This the speed of the polyethylene sheets. This prevents moisture and mold growth, as well pump increases or decreases depending on the information provided as unwanted heat loss due to an R-Value.
Protection) once every 24 hours." • Low ambient freeze protection The iFLOW controller is defaultset to turn on the circulating pump to iNTELLIGENT CONTROL: cycle the total volume of potable water in the system, once every 24 hours. This will prevent stagnation and protect the pump from seizing.
Control Internet/ Smart Mode iFLH-18000W The iFLOW air handler will automatically change the fan and pump Paring Mode with Smartphone speeds to control the temperature output of the unit and cycle-time iFLH-21000W length. This will allow the heat output of the air handler to match the current heat loss of the home.
Benefit: 7. Air handler with heat pump + boiler The main benefit of the iFLOW Hybrid Heating System is its ability to 8. Air handler with heat pump + combi boiler provide variable capacity heat, which is sufficient to provide the total heat loss of a house regardless of the heat pump capacity.

(see figure D). If the 24V signal for the A/C compressor is connected to the thermostat connection on the iFLOW PCB, the 24V signal will come from the thermostat and there is no way for the iFLOW to interrupt the compressor, thus you will have NO A/C FREEZE PROTECTION.
