Cooling Unit Features

Johnson Air Rotation® cooling units are constructed of heavy gauge, painted galvanized panels and structural steel. The units can handle cooling capacities up to 550 tons and air volumes up to 200,000 CFM. The direct expansion or chilled water cooling coils operate in a "draw-through" design. A variety of filtration levels are possible, with standard being 30% efficient pleated filters.

Units are wired at the factory for a single point connection. All units are UL® listed and feature a one-year parts warranty.

Optional features include outdoor construction; aluminum mesh, pleated and oil mist filters; evaporative cooling systems; night set-back clock; chillers and condensing units; stainless steel construction for food-grade and similar applications; and more.

Cooling Unit Benefits

1. Most Efficient System in the Industry
  • Neutral or positive pressure system – Maintains the conditioned air in the space
  • Reduced system tonnage due to Air Rotation® effect by continuous cooling of cooler room air versus much hotter outside air
  • Highly efficient fans utilized lower motor horsepower
  • Maintenance of the Johnson Air Rotation® System is easy and inexpensive at floor level compared to the high cost of maintaining roof top equipment during hot summers or cold winters
  • One Air Rotation® System can usually support many times the cooling capacity of one roof-top unit
2. Provides Extremely Uniform Temperature
  • Temperatures in space vary no more than +/- 1 degree
  • Eliminates associated air stratification
  • Eliminates drafts and cold or hot spots in the space
  • Controlled temperatures and humidity levels for product requirements
3. Long Equipment Life
  • Heavy duty construction
  • Minimal service intervals
  • Easy to maintain
  • Side access door and walkway plank for easy maintenance of coils, fans and motors
  • Filters at floor level are easy to maintain and replace
  • 30+ year projected unit life
  • Stainless steel IAQ style drain pan
4. Low Installation Cost
  • Fewer units per area – One unit can condition up to 200,000 ft2
  • No cranes or helicopters
  • No roof penetrations , roof loading or roof structural supports
  • No duct work required
  • Single point electrical connection
  • No bracing required for equipment
  • Units are “portable” – If you move, the unit can be used in your new facility
  • 3 men can erect an Air Rotation® unit in _ day
  • Multiple coil circulating options available, with our without piping packages
