Coil

Aurum Manufacturing’s coils are manufactured with type L copper tubing, aluminum fins, and stainless-steel side rails. All coils are brazed for maximum strength. Copper piping is insulated to prevent sweating in summer months. Prior to delivery, all coils undergo pressure tests and visual inspections. Coils are customizable for job specifications and/or to meet building configurations (e.g., allowing for an upwards supply feed).

Chassis

The DDR series chassis is assembled with 100% 20-gauge stainless steel material. The interior of the chassis is insulated with closed-cell insulation to prevent moisture buildup and reduce noise from vibrations. The dimensions of the chassis vary with different DDR Series models, as can be seen in the product dimension chart.

Fan Blower

Aurum offers a variety of different motors and blowers. Sizes are dependent on required specifications and conditions for each fan coil unit. Offered motors and blowers include, but are not limited to: – EC motors (standard) – Variable speed motor – PSC motor The DDR series features a **down-draft** fan design for efficient airflow management.

Drain Pan

The DDR series drain pan is assembled with 100% 20-gauge stainless steel material to virtually eliminate the possibility of rust growth. All corners of the drain pan are welded. The drain pan is positively sloped to allow for quick and effective drainage. The bottom of the drain pan is also insulated to prevent condensation and reduce vibration noise.

Union Connections

These fittings make for easy installation and future serviceability.

Control Valve and Actuator

The DDR series drain pan is assembled with 100% 20-gauge stainless steel material to virtually eliminate the possibility of rust growth. All corners of the drain pan are welded. The drain pan is positively sloped to allow for quick and effective drainage. The bottom of the drain pan is also insulated to prevent condensation and reduce vibration noise. Aurum offers flexibility in control valve options, including: – Power open / power close – Normally open / normally closed – Spring return

Aurum DDR Series Down-Draft Fan Coil Replacement for Toronto Buildings

The Aurum DDR Series is designed to replace outdated down-draft fan coil units while improving energy efficiency, airflow, and overall indoor comfort. For condo buildings, apartments, commercial properties, and multi-unit residential buildings in Toronto, North York, and the Greater Toronto Area, the DDR Series offers a modern retrofit solution that maintains the core function of the existing system while upgrading key components for better performance.

Cozy Comfort Plus provides professional guidance, replacement support, and HVAC service for Aurum fan coil systems. Whether your building is dealing with aging down-draft fan coil units, poor airflow, noisy operation, outdated controls, or inefficient performance, the Aurum DDR Series can help modernize comfort with a cleaner and more reliable replacement approach.

Why Choose the Aurum DDR Series?

The Aurum DDR Series is built as a replacement solution for older down-draft fan coil units. Its component-based chassis is designed for a seamless, non-disruptive replacement, making it a practical option for buildings that need to update existing fan coil systems without major construction.

This series is engineered to improve energy efficiency, airflow, and indoor comfort while supporting the same core heating and cooling function of the original equipment. For property managers and building owners, that means a more practical retrofit path when older fan coil units begin causing comfort issues, maintenance concerns, or performance problems.

Aurum’s DDR Series includes coils manufactured with type L copper tubing, aluminum fins, and stainless-steel side rails. The coils are brazed for strength, insulated to help prevent sweating during summer operation, and pressure tested before delivery. Coil configurations can also be customized to meet job specifications and building requirements.

The DDR Series chassis is assembled with 20-gauge stainless steel material and insulated with closed-cell insulation to help prevent moisture buildup and reduce vibration noise. This supports long-term durability and quieter operation inside the unit.

Down-Draft Airflow, Durable Components & Easier Service

The Aurum DDR Series uses a down-draft fan design for efficient airflow management. Motor and blower options can vary based on project requirements, with EC motors available as a standard option and variable-speed or PSC motor options depending on the application.

The drain pan is also assembled with 20-gauge stainless steel material to help reduce the risk of rust growth. Welded corners, positive slope drainage, and bottom insulation help support effective drainage, condensation control, and reduced vibration noise.

Union connections make installation easier and help improve future serviceability. This is important for condo buildings, apartments, and commercial properties where technicians need practical access for maintenance and repair work.

The DDR Series also supports flexible control valve options, including power open/power close, normally open/normally closed, and spring return configurations. Its control centre is designed for easy accessibility and can support different building requirements, including heat only, cool only, 2-pipe systems, 4-pipe systems, and auxiliary heat configurations.
