Connection and setting of multiple AHU kits and heat exchanger are same as normal indoor unit. ex) There are 3 AHU kits and heat exchanger. Main piping should be distributed to 3 paths. PCB setting "No. of indoor unit" of outdoor unit (master) should be set to "3".

How to select of AHU system How to use the software "AHU for VRF" 1. Execute the software "AHU for VRF.exe" 7 1 8 2 4 3 5 1 3 1 9 2 10 6 2 3 4 2. Input the specification of heat exchanger, air volume, capacity and temperature at heating. 1 Input inside diameter of tube not outside diameter. All the tubes of a heat exchanger must be the same inside diameter. 2 3 4 5 Input distance between tube sheets, No. of paths and steps and rows. From above information, software calculates the inside volume and pressure loss of heat exchanger. Inside volume of heat exchanger must be between table 1 values. 6 Input air volume of AHU Air volume must be in the range shown at table 2. 7 Select the system capacity Check the system size from 10HP to 60HP listed in the box. 8 Input the temperature condition. It is for confirming the abnormal situation in heating. In case of low temperature condition, it may not be possible for heating operation. 9 Push the Calculation button. 5 6 7 3. Check the results The results are shown in three places. 1 Results of inside volume and pressure loss of heat exchanger *Case "NG": Inside volume of heat exchanger is out of range shown at table 1. Change the value excluding No. of paths. *Case "NG(Pressure loss is high)": Pressure loss, especially in cooling operation, is high. Change the value of "No. of paths". 2 Results of air volume. *Case "NG": Air volume of AHU is out of range shown at table 2. Change the value. 8 9 6&A9#;84(KPFD 2-156 Design of 2WAY SYSTEM 8. How to select of AHU system 3 Heating operation check. *Case "NG": This is the case which AHU system cannot perform suitable operation. The main causes are the following three points. 1) Outdoor tempearture is low 2) Indoor temperature is low 3) Air volume is high Change the above value mainly. *In case of some value displayed. This is the performance in this condition. 8 10 Push the "Heating Capacity table" button. It is able to confirm the capacity table in heating. Data is saved as "temp heat.csv" at the same folder of the software. 1 2 3 4 If "NG" is displayed, the system cannot perform normal operation in heating mode on this condition. 5 6 7 8 2-157 6&A9#;84(KPFD 9
