HOT GAS REHEAT COILS AVAILABLE:

2 Row

Allows the unit to dehumidify and supply air reheated up to room temperature. Ideal for applications where the MAM
replaces an existing Air Conditioner.

4 Row

Allows the unit to reject all the compressor heat into the space. Ideal for small spas and whirlpools.

lb/h = Moisture removal capacity in pounds per hour

Smbh = Sensible cooling capacity in thousands of Btus per hour
Tmbh = Total cooling capacity in thousands of Btus per hour

*The receiver is sized for a maximum of 50 linear ft. refrigerant line lengths and/or not more than 6 feet below the MAM unit.

Operating Sequence

MAM Series

Supply air blower

Blower operates continuously at design CFM.

Dehumidification mode [6-row reheat coil]

On a dehumidification demand from the wall-mounted humidistat, the 3-way valve is energized and the
compressor rejects all the recovered energy to the hot gas reheat coil.

Dehumidification mode [2-row reheat coil]

On a dehumidification demand from the wall-mounted humidistat, the 3-way valve is energized and the
compressor rejects the recovered energy to the hot gas reheat coil and the outdoor condenser rejects the
remaining heat that has not been used in the hot gas reheat coil.

Cooling mode [air-cooled]

On cooling demand from the wall-mounted thermostat, the 3-way valve is de-energized and the compressor
rejects all the recovered energy directly to the outdoor condenser. A signal to start the outdoor condenser fan is
sent at the same time.

Cooling mode [water-cooled]

On cooling demand from the wall-mounted thermostat, the 3-way valve is de-energized and the compressor
rejects all the recovered energy directly to the unit mounted water-cooled condenser.

2.3

Principle of Operation
The unit shall operate according to the following sequence. The returned humid air
passes through the dehumidifying coil and is cooled below its dew point, thereby
condensing moisture. The heat captured by this process and the heat generated by the
compressor power consumption are absorbed by a mechanical refrigeration system.
This recovered heat can then be used to reheat the air. On a call for cooling all the heat
is rejected to the remote outdoor air-cooled condenser or fluid loop.
