| New fan-coil unit from Johnson Controls targets sustainable design |
| |
Unit consumes 30 to 50 percent less energy than competitive units and offers custom sizing
MILWAUKEE – Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader in delivering products, services and solutions that increase energy efficiency in buildings, recently extended its line of fan-coil units with a new, vertical, floor-mounted unit.
The model FW unit is available in sizes from nominal 200 to 1,200, and consumes 30 to 50 percent less energy than competitive units with the same capacity. Performance is certified as complying with AHRI Standard 440.
The unit has been designed to match the dimensions of the most common models installed in the United States, making it the perfect choice for renovation projects. Cabinet heights and widths can be varied in 1-inch increments up to 12 inches to accommodate existing architectural features, and units are available in concealed, exposed, or sloped-top configurations.
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) features include a sloped, stainless-steel drain pan to avoid standing water, and reduced sound levels. Sound data is tested in accordance with AHRI Standard 350. IEQ is further enhanced by the use of closed-cell foam insulation, which offers a higher insulating value than fiberglass and ensures no wicking of condensate. MERV 8 or MERV 13 filters improve filter efficiency.
Energy management options include a programmable thermostat that utilizes a time clock for temperature setback, and a passive infrared (PIR) sensor that determines setback based on occupancy. The Johnson Controls field equipment controller (FEC) can be used for network or wireless communications. The networkable unit is also able to communicate with a building automation system using a centralized control. The unit can be supplied with factory-mounted DDC controls or unit-mounted digital thermostats, and factory-mounted piping packages arrive on the job site with actuators wired to the controller.
