12AIR COOLED DIRECT EXPANSION UNITS (DXA)The air cooled DX units extract heat from the room and transfer it tothe outside using air cooled refrigerant heat exchangers (condensers).The room unit and external condenser form an autonomous sealed circuitonce installed. The UNIFLAIR remote condensers used with AMICO unitsinclude a precise electronic system to regulate the fan speed to ensuretrouble-free operation throughout the year under a wide range of externalair temperatures. Special attention has been paid to the acoustic designof the condensers to minimise noise levels. A wide range of combinationsis available to meet different site requirements.WATER COOLED DIRECT EXPANSION UNITS (DXW)In the DX water cooled units, the heat extracted from the room istransferred to water via a stainless steel brazed plate exchanger withinthe unit.The cooling water may be fed from the mains supply or a well (opencircuit), or recycled in a closed loop cooled by external coolers.In the latter case, an anti-freeze mixture of water and ethylene glycol isnormally used.The water cooled units have the advantage that the refrigerant circuitsare charged and sealed in the factory. This makes installation extremelysimple, eliminating the need for any site-installed refrigerant pipework.Operating description
