Detailed Specifications

Delving into the detailed specifications of the SECARR SDA SDAF-030, you'll find that this unit offers more than just dehumidification. It is a comprehensive solution for indoor air quality control, providing not just dehumidification but also air heating and cooling. It is ETL or CSA listed and complies with BOCA code M-401 and M-402.1, giving you the assurance of its quality and safety.

The SECARR SDA SDAF-030 is a packaged system, fully assembled, wired, piped, and tested at the factory. The result is a unit ready for installation and immediate operation. All instrumentation and control devices are factory adjusted and preset to the design conditions, ensuring optimal operation from the get-go.

The unit comprises a compressor, an evaporator coil, an air reheat coil, a supply air blower with a motor, and thermostatic expansion valves. It also includes a motor starter and operates from a digital relative Humidity controller space sensor. This combination results in a comprehensive solution for managing indoor environments.

Optionally, the unit can be equipped with a DDC control with BACnet Communication protocol. This feature provides you with advanced control and monitoring capabilities, making the unit a smart addition to your building's HVAC infrastructure.

The system is designed to handle a nominal airflow (CFM) of 660, making it suitable for various applications and spaces. It is capable of adjusting to an external static pressure of up to 0.5", giving you more control over the airflow of the unit.

The device also features a unique drain pan design. Each unit is equipped with a sloped, non-tapping drain pan located under the entire evaporator coil. This design prevents condensate carryover and potential water pooling, which could lead to bacteria growth. The drain pan is constructed from a minimum 20-gauge type 304 stainless steel, with a smooth surface and rounded corners to avoid microbial growth. The bottom of the drain pan is insulated to comply with IAQ requirements for drain pans.

The SECARR SDA SDAF-030 employs a refrigeration circuit that includes an in-line solder type liquid line filter drier and a liquid and moisture indicator, which are visible from outside the unit without removal of the access panel. This design ensures a convenient and straightforward maintenance process.

The unit’s supply fan is a centrifugal single inlet backward curved motorized impeller, optimized for energy efficiency. It features a protection class IP54 and motor efficiency class IE4, and can be externally controlled for speed via 0-10 volts. The motor/impeller is statically and dynamically balanced according to ISO for either vertical or horizontal installation, ensuring a smooth, vibration-free operation.

The compressor is a UL or ETL listed high-efficiency suction-cooled scroll type, mounted on rubber isolators for vibration-free operation.
