The Dunham Bush ACPSC Series is a highly versatile line of indoor, floor-standing air-cooled self-contained packaged air conditioning units. Delivering flexible cooling capacities from 59 to 380 MBH ($17\text{ to }111\text{ kW}$ / ~5 to 31 Tons), this specialized series integrates quiet, high-efficiency scroll compressors with high-static centrifugal condenser fans inside a single rigid indoor cabinet. Engineered specifically for locations where outdoor space is severely restricted or unavailable, the ACPSC unit completely removes the need for rooftop condenser slabs or cooling towers. It is an ideal, self-contained ducted cooling solution for historical bank structures, dense shopping arcade basements, mid-rise commercial offices, and high-security server zones across Bangladesh.
Cooling Capacity from 59 to 380 MBH (17 to 111 kW)
The ACPSC features:
The Dunham Bush ACPSC Series solves one of the most frustrating obstacles in urban architecture: providing heavy-duty central air conditioning when you have absolutely zero usable rooftop or outdoor ground space. Traditional split or rooftop systems require long, exposed copper refrigerant lines connecting to an outdoor condenser array. In high-density commercial hubs across Dhaka and Chittagong, multi-tenant buildings often lack the structural space, balcony rights, or rooftop clearance to mount heavy outdoor fans. The ACPSC overcomes this bottleneck by bringing the entire air conditioning machine—including the scroll compressors, cooling coils, indoor blower, and the condenser heat-rejection loop—completely inside the room.
The baseline efficiency of this indoor-contained setup is driven by premium, low-noise hermetic scroll compressors. Because the scroll compression profile relies on a continuous, smooth orbital spiral mechanism with no touching parts, it dramatically cuts down mechanical friction, lowers monthly electrical consumption, and minimizes runtime noise. This quiet operation allows the unit to run smoothly right next to active workspaces without disturbing employees or clients.
What truly sets the ACPSC apart is its engineered high-static centrifugal condenser fan. Instead of dumping heat directly into an adjacent room, this specialized heavy-duty fan generates enough pressure to push hot condenser air out of the building through standard sheet-metal ductwork connected directly to a louvre on an exterior wall. The unit’s physical cabinet is built from heavy-gauge galvanized steel lined with sound-dampening insulation, providing a durable, self-contained central cooling station with localized controls.

100% Indoor Thermal Containment: Houses both the high-pressure cooling cycle and the exhaust loop together inside a single vertical indoor cabinet, removing the need for outdoor equipment space.
Ducted Outdoor Heat Rejection: Utilizes an integrated high-static centrifugal condenser fan to drive hot air through dedicated exhaust ducts straight to an exterior building wall louvre.
Progressive Multi-Compressor Staging: On larger tonnage multi-compressor models, the system automatically cycles individual scroll loops off as rooms reach the desired temperature, avoiding energy-wasting power spikes.
Comprehensive Microprocessor Shielding: Continuously tracks internal suction/discharge parameters, phase alignment, and thermal limits, pausing operations before local power line issues can cause motor damage.
State facilities—including national banks, historic government administration archives, high-security data rooms, and municipal courthouse offices—frequently operate in older structures where modifying exterior facades is strictly regulated or structurally unsafe.
Preserves Historic Building Facades: By placing the ACPSC completely indoors and routing the exhaust through a single hidden wall vent, public institutions can maintain full structural integrity without hanging unsightly split units outside.
Enhanced Asset Security: Placing the core cooling infrastructure safely inside the building protects vital public data vaults and government servers from external tampering, vandalism, or monsoon storm damage.
For private operations—such as multi-story retail basements, dense garment offices, corporate branches in mixed-use high-rises, and medical diagnostic labs—renting outdoor space for standard chillers or VRFs is often expensive or prohibited.
Low Commercial Footprint Friction: The compact floor-standing profile allows the unit to slot cleanly into small mechanical closets, janitorial spaces, or corner storage rooms, freeing up valuable floor space for business operations.
Lower Initial Building Costs: By eliminating long, expensive copper pipe networks and specialized rooftop anchoring systems, commercial office spaces can significantly lower their upfront installation and fit-out expenses.

Q1: How does an air-cooled self-contained unit work if it sits entirely indoors?
Ans: Traditional units use axial fans that must sit directly outdoors to dump heat. The ACPSC uses a high-static centrifugal condenser fan instead. This allows the unit to draw in indoor air (or outside air via intake), run it across the condenser coil, and push the hot air through an exhaust duct straight out of the building.
Q2: Does the ACPSC unit require an external cooling tower or water hookup?
Ans: No. The Dunham Bush ACPSC is a 100% air-cooled system. It relies completely on fan-driven air exchange for heat rejection, making it an excellent alternative for sites facing limited water access or hard groundwater scaling issues.
Q3: Can this system handle long, complex indoor duct networks for air distribution?
Ans: Yes. The supply air section is powered by a high-performance blower system that can easily push conditioned air through extensive overhead ducting layouts, ensuring uniform, balanced temperatures across large open-plan office spaces.
Q4: How does the system handle condensed water drainage indoors?
Ans: The ACPSC features a built-in, sloped galvanized drain pan beneath the evaporator coil to collect moisture pulled from the air. Your installation team simply hooks this up to a standard internal drainage pipe or an automated mini-condensate pump to run the water safely out of the room.
