Technical Overview
Multiaqua is available in 3, 4, and 5-ton cooling capacities and is matched with a variety
of indoor fan coils, unsurpassed in application flexibility.
Multiaqua is a
self-contained unit with no add-on modules or additional assembly needed to
make chilled water. Multiaqua is designed with great care to provide easy service
access and readily available components.
Multiaqua works using the basic refrigeration
cycle. R-22 refrigerant is circulated through the system by a Copeland Scroll
compressor which increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant and
pumps it into the condenser coil. In the condenser, the refrigerant vapor is
cooled as air passes over the coil using two, fractional horsepower, fan/motor
assemblies configured for horizontal discharge. The refrigerant then condenses
into liquid. The liquid refrigerant flows through a thermostatic expansion valve
where the flow is metered. The pressure and temperature are reduced.
After passing
through the expansion valve, the refrigerant flows into a brazed plate heat
exchanger where it boils by absorbing heat from the water passing through parallel
circuits of the heat exchanger. As the refrigerant starts the trip back through its self-contained cycle, the
newly chilled water passes through a stainless steel head, fractional horsepower
pump.
The waters head pressure is boosted such that it travels at a specific
flow rate (GPM) into the home or other conditioned spaces that are to be cooled.
As this chilled water flows through any one of a myriad of fan coil combinations,
it passes through a copper coil.
Air is moved across the coil and the chilled water absorbs the heat of the space.
Cold, dehumidified air is then supplied to the conditioned space.
Did you know?
All other geothermal heating and cooling providers in Australia use water-based earth loops to power their systems. The disadvantage of this is that water loops require expensive excavations since they need to be dug deep down into the ground.
EarthLinked® is the only system in Australia to use a refrigerant in their earth loops, enabling Direct Energy to offer both lower installation costs (due to less excavation costs) as well as a more efficient use of the earth heat.
