ACH - Packaged Air Cooled Simultaneous Cooling and Heating Unit

Closed this issue · 12 comments

Proposed Abbreviation: ACH

I would like to propose a new abbreviation for Packaged Air Cooled Simultaneous Cooling and Heating Units as ACH

These units are being used on a Chicago project. See attached brochure (pg 8) for Model UCA from ClimaCool Corp
All_Chiller_Products.pdf

https://climacoolcorp.com/

suggest that ACH might be confusing as it is commonly used for Air Changes per Hour

Other possible abbreviations: PACH or ASCH. Please @mariehunter-bim let us know your comments.

Hi -
having just reviewed the links you provided I think that product is best described as:

Air Source Heat Pump with Simultaneous Heating and Cooling
or
Chiller with Simultaneous Heating and Cooling
(I've always found the terminology "Chiller" for a heat pump to be frustrating as if you run it in reverse its no longer a chiller!)

it should probs be grouped with either the chillers or heat pumps:

maybe ACCH (air cooled chiller is sufficient?)
or ACCHS for Air Cooled Chiller with Simultaneous heating and cooling... ?

We understand no new abbreviations are required.
