CAT 1640-3 Daikin Self-Contained Water Source Heat Pump Unit Ventilators - Models ARQ, ERQ and GRQ

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Daikin Classroom Unit Ventilators have been a reliable choice in educational settings for nearly a century, offering quiet and efficient climate control. These units are designed for cost-effective installation and operation, with durable construction ensuring longevity.
Models Overview
The catalog details three models of water source heat pumps: ARQ (Standard Range), ERQ (Extended Range), and GRQ (Geothermal Range), available in sizes from 2 to 4 tons. They use R-410A refrigerant and feature MicroTech II™ controls for enhanced performance and integration.
Features & Benefits
Key features include quiet operation, low installation and operating costs, and robust construction. The units have a two-stage compressor and multi-speed fan to optimize energy usage. MicroTech II controls allow easy integration with building automation systems.
Performance Specifications
ARQ & ERQ models offer nominal airflow from 1000 to 1500 CFM, cooling capacities between 23,300 and 49,100 Btuh, and heating capacities from 27,400 to 57,300 Btuh. The GRQ model uses geothermal energy with cooling capacities from 24,500 to 51,200 Btuh and heating capacities from 17,100 to 38,500 Btuh.
Design and Construction
The units are vertical, floor-standing, and self-contained, eliminating the need for external chillers. They are adaptable to older buildings with existing hydronic systems, with sturdy cabinet construction designed for classroom environments.
Control Systems
MicroTech II controls offer superior comfort control and integration capabilities, supporting various communication protocols like BACnet®, LonTalk®, and Metasys® N2 Open.
Geothermal System (Model GRQ)
The GRQ model uses a ground loop system for efficient heating and cooling, leveraging the earth's natural properties to reduce energy costs.
Installation and Maintenance
The units are designed for easy installation and maintenance, with features minimizing the need for extensive field commissioning, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
Conclusion
Daikin's unit ventilators are engineered to meet the evolving needs of educational facilities, providing reliable, efficient, and cost-effective climate control solutions.
Additional Features
GentleFlo air moving system minimizes operating sound levels. Economizer operation uses outdoor air for cooling, reducing mechanical cooling needs. Demand Control Ventilation adjusts ventilation based on CO2 levels. Draw-Thru design ensures even discharge air temperatures. Low installation costs make them suitable for new and retrofit applications.
Specifications and Recommendations
Guidelines for selecting unit ventilators focus on outdoor air quantities and unit sizes. ASHRAE recommends a minimum outdoor air quantity of 10 CFM per person plus 0.12 CFM/ft² for K-12 classrooms. Antifreeze is necessary in areas where loop temperatures drop below 40°F (5°C).
Wiring and Control Systems
MicroTech II controls offer various operational modes and support multiple binary inputs and outputs for functions like occupancy mode changes and ventilation lockout. Advanced options include Part Load Variable Air Control and Demand-Controlled Ventilation.
Temperature Control and Operation
The unit's capacity is controlled to maintain room setpoints. If the room temperature exceeds the cooling setpoint and outdoor air is suitable, the economizer function increases outdoor air intake.
Installation Considerations
Proper installation requires attention to wall and floor structures. The unit must be securely mounted against an outside wall with an unobstructed outdoor air intake louver.
Specifications
Unit ventilators are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for the US and Canada, and motors conform to NEMA, IEEE, ANSI, and NEC standards. The refrigeration system includes a factory-sealed compressor and coils, designed for easy maintenance.

Daikin Classroom Unit Ventilators For nearly a century schools have relied on unit ventilators to keep classrooms comfortable. Students learn more readily in a quiet, well-ventilated environment. That is why Herman Nelson invented the unit ventilator in 1917. Daikin Applied continues to set the industry standard for performance, features and quality. Today Daikin remains committed to continuing the Herman Nelson-AAF-McQuay legacy as the industry leader and meeting the changing requirements of schools with the highest quality unit ventilator products available. We realize that keeping expenditures...

Features & Benefits Draw-Thru Design For Even Discharge Temperatures The Daikin Draw-Thru design sets our unit ventilators apart from most competitive models. With this system, fans draw air through the entire heat transfer element (Figure 4) rather than blowing it through highly concentrated areas of the coil element. The result is more uniform discharge air temperatures into the classroom and more efficient unit ventilator operation. Figure 4: Draw-Thru Design Provides Even Discharge Air Uniform Discharge Air (Shaded) Motor Fans Condenser Figure 5: Draw-Thru Vs. Blow-Thru Design New construction...
