Zone Unit
The Zone Unit provides the primary air conditioning to its zone, with each zone
measuring up to 300 m 2. Zone Units are drawn through vertical type, either top return
(ZD type) or bottom return (ZU type) supplying conditioned air into a raised floor void.
Zone Units have all necessary components such as filters, cooling coils, control valves,
microprocessor controllers, and inverter driven fan motors to achieve the required
underfloor condition with the maximum efficiencies. Options include heating (electrical,
low-pressure hot water, or direct expansion), and dehumidification and humidification
using water vapour. Zone Unit configuration can be either top return bottom discharge
or bottom return bottom discharge, and are available in three standard sizes (from
10 kW – 30 kW). Other sizes are available on request.
Chiller
The Chiller is sized to meet the cooling requirements of the entire building.

Bottom air supply and return (ZU type Zone Unit and LECU)
Where no ceiling is installed or where the integrity of the space above the raised floor
is important, the Zone Unit supplies and returns the air within the access floor space.
This space is simply divided into supply and return air plenums with underfloor
barriers. Cooling and heating can be provided by chilled water and low pressure hot
water or by heat pumps. The space is conditioned by the Zone Unit, and the LECUs
provide the occupants with the ability to control their space.

Conditioning by external Air Handling Unit (AHU and LECU)
The air conditioning of the space can be done by an externally mounted Air Handling
Unit, which supplies conditioned air through ducts into the access floor. The hot air is
returned to the Air Handling Unit through the ceiling and duct system. The LECUs
provide the occupants with the ability to control their space.

The LECU has its own frame and can be used with stringerless raised floors. It exactly
matches a 600 x 600 raised floor panel and only weighs 18 Kg. Relocation of LECUs can
be accomplished in minutes and enables the GEA DENCO ® -OfficeCool Air Conditioning
System to adapt to your changing work space layout.
The Building Management System (BMS) allows monitoring or adjustment of the set
point and fan speed as well as monitoring of the entire system using selectable vari-
ables. When the LECU and the Zone Units are networked, the Zone Unit can be con-
trolled by the average of the readings on the room sensors of the LECUs within any
particular zone.
