* 1949 Guide
Totally Enclosed Non-Ventilated motors (55 C rise) are so constructed as to prevent exchange of air between inside and outside of the case, but are not air tight and are not equipped with external cooling means.
Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled Motors (55 C rise) are similar to totally enclosed, nonventilated machines except that exterior cooling is provided by means of a fan or fans integral with the machine.
Explosion Proof motors (55 C rise) have an enclosing case designed to withstand an explosion of a specified gas or vapor which may occur within it, and to prevent the ignition of the gas or vapor surrounding the motor by. sparks, flashes, or explosions of tne gas or vapor which may occur within the machine casing.
Dust Explosion Proof motors (55 C rise) have an enclosing case designed and con structed so as not to cause the ignition or explosion of an atmosphere of the specific dust or to cause ignition of dust on or around the machine. (Proper overload pro tection and cleanliness are required for successful operation).
Water Proof motors (55 C rise) are so constructed as to exclude water applied in the form of a stream from a hose.
Dust Tight motors (55 C rise) are so constructed that the enclosing case will ex clude dust. "
Motor Speed Classifications
A Constant Speed Motor is one in which the speed remains practically constant with changes in load; e.g., a d-c shunt wound motor or a-c squirrel-cage motor with low
slip.
A Varying Speed Motor is one in which the speed varies with the load, usually
decreasing when the load increases; e.g., a d-c series motor or an induction motor with large slip.
An Adjustable Varying Speed Motor is one in which the speed can be adjusted
gradually, but when once adjusted for a given load will vary in considerable degree with change in load; 6.0., a shunt wound d-c motor adjusted by armature resistance
control.
An Adjustable Speed Motor is one in which the speed can be varied gradually over a considerable range, but when once adjusted remains practically unaffected by the
load; e.g., a d-c shunt motor with field resistance control. The standard ratings for open type, adjustable speed motors, having a speed range of 3 to 1 and greater are in accordance with the following:
(1) A standard continuous horsepower rating at 150 per cent of minimum speed
with a temperature rise of 40 C.
(2) The next higher standard continuous horsepower rating at 3 times minimum
speed with a, temperature rise of 40 C.
.
(3) Between 150 per cent of minimum speed and 3 times minimum speed, the stand
ard continuous horsepower rating with a temperature rise of 40 C will vary
with the speed along a straight line connecting these two horsepower ratings. No further increase m horsepower is recognized above 3 times minimum speed.
(4) Below 150 per cent of minimum speed the lower continuous horsepower rating
(see preceding item 1) will apply with a temperature rise of 50 C. Example: 20/25 hp, 400 to 1600 rpm. This motor may be rated 20 hp, 40
C at 600 rpm and 25 hp, 40 C from 1200 to 1600 rpm. Between 600 and 1200
rpm the rated horsepower increases directly with speed from 20 to 25 hp;
(5) Motors may also be rated 1 hour with temperature rise of 50 C with the higher horsepower rating (see preceding item 2) throughout the entire speed range.
Example: 20/25 hp, 400. to 1600 rpm. This motor may be rated 25 hp, 50 C.
400/1600 rpm; 1 hour.
Mechanical Modifications
Vertical. Mountings are available for such applications as pumps, agitators, and so forth. This type of application may require a special umbrella-type hood to protect against dripping liquids.
Flanged Mountings are available for use where motors are built in ss part of ma chines. Motors may also be supplied with flush plate mountings, suitable for close coupled pump and similar applications.

UNIT AIR CONDITIONERS, UNIT AIR COOLERS
Definitions, Classification of Unit Type Equipment, Component Parts of Unit Type Equipment, Sound Isolation, Modification of Remote Units, Rating of Unit Air Conditioners, Application of Unitary Equipment, Unit Air Coolers
THIS chapter presents the physical characteristics of air cooling units and air conditioning units; a suggested procedure for selection of units; and some of the factors involved in the application of unitary equipment. In general, factory produced unit equipment can be obtained to accomplish all of the functions possible from field assemblies, but the advantages of unit, equipment are most apparent in small and moderate capacities. Above 12,000 cfm capacity, of approximately 40 tons of refrigeration capacity, handling and assembly costs generally favor the use of field assembled units. Multiple application of unitary equipment is frequently justified for large gross tonnage installations where zoning or a minimum amount of air distributing ducts is desirable.
DEFINITION
The term air conditioning unit has been loosely used as a name for all types of factory produced air handling, cooling, or heating units. The code, Standard Method of Rating and Testing -Air Conditioning Equip ment1, defines the various types of unitary equipment:
' 1. A Cooling Unit is a specific air treating combination consisting of means for air circulation and cooling within prescribed temperature limits.
2. An Air Conditioning Unit is a specific air treating combination consisting of means for ventilation, air circulation, air cleaning, and heat transfer with control
means for maintaining temperature and humidity within prescribed limits.
3. A Cooling Air Conditioning Unit is a specific air treating combination consist
ing of means for ventilation, air circulation, air Cleaning, and heat transfer with control means-for cooling and maintaining temperature and humidity within pre scribed limits.
4. A Self Contained Air Conditioning or Cooling Unit is one in.which a condensing
unit is combined in the same cabinet, with the other functional elements. Selfcontained air conditioning units are classified* according to the method of rejecting
condenser heat (water cooled, air cooled, and evaporatively cooled), method of
introducing ventilation air (no ventilation, ventilation by. drawing air from outside,
ventilation by exhausting room air to the outside, or ventilation by a combination of the last two methods), and method of discharging air to the room (free delivery or pressure type).
5. A Free Delivery Type Unit takes in air and discharges it directly to the space to be treated without external elements which impose air resistance.
6. A'Pressure Type Unit is for use with one or more external elements which impose air resistance.
7. A Forced-Circulation Air Cooler is a factory encased assembly of elements by
which heat is transferred from air to refrigerants'.
