Evaporative Cooling
RAPID™ 4000-Series evaporative cooling system is an economical solution. It requires no air-cooled condenser, chiller or cooling tower, chilled water pumps or distribution piping/insulation, major motor control center or electrical gear. Operating costs are a fraction of similar-capacity mechanical refrigeration systems.
Evaporative cooling works when warm air passes over specially treated wetted media. The heat passes from the air to the wetted media, causing the water to evaporate and inside air to cool.
Mechanical Cooling
For situations requiring temperature and humidity levels lower than the performance parameters available with outdoor air alone or with evaporative cooling, RAPID™ 4000-Series offer a broad range of cooling options.
Cooling options can be added by simply installing one of our coil sections equipped with the appropriate cooling coils and a condensing unit or chiller. The versatility afforded by the coil section enables you to utilize DX refrigerant, chilled water or other types of cooling coils in your system.
Reheating After Cooling
If your equipment is such that reheating the air after cooling is necessary to maintain comfort levels, an electric, hot-water or steam coil can be installed in the same RAPID™ coil section.
Heating coils can also be used as sources of heat instead of the standard direct-fired burner during the heating season. As such, they are more viable for certain kinds of projects, such as locations with a steam boiler plant for the process loads. Another option is to supplement your direct-fired heat with recovered heat by using a heat-recovery coil. Rapid Engineering can readily build units to take advantage of various situations.
| 4000 MUA Models - Make-up Air | |
 |
Design: 100% outdoor air and a modulating burner with a 30:1 turndown ratio. Discharge air volume can be fixed or variable (with use of variable frequency drive) |
| Function: Supplies direct replacement air for building mechanical exhaust | |
| Application: Used as make-up air for inductrial processes which incorporate mechanical exhaust | |
| 4000 FR Models - Fixed Recirculation | |
 |
Design: Fixed 80% air turnover rate and 20% outdoor air replacement rate and a modulating burner with a 30:1 turndown ratio. Discharge air volume is fixed. |
| Function: Provides efficient, low-cost heating where minimum ventilation rates are required | |
| Application: Used in warehouses, distribution centers, retail outlets, etc. | |
| 4000 AM Models - Air Management | |
 |
Design: Variable outdoor air from 20% to 100% and a modulating burner with a 30:1 turn-down ratio. Discharge air volume is fixed |
| Function: Automatically responds to building pressure and temperature needs | |
| Application: Used in industrial and commercial buildings that have air quality and specific air management requirements | |
| 4000 VAV Models - Variable Air Volume | |
 |
Design: 100% outdoor air and a modulating burner with a 30:1 turnover ratio. Discharge air volume is variable. |
