Floaire Cooling Discharge
No discharge temperature change for 30 minutes during cooling

What does Floaire Cooling Discharge mean?
The make-up air unit's control board logs a cooling discharge fault when there has been no delta-T for 30 minutes. The board expected the discharge air temperature to change while cooling but found no temperature difference over a half hour. The fault is stored in the View Faults menu, survives a power loss, and remains listed until the underlying condition is corrected and the fault is cleared from the board.
Symptoms
- Cooling discharge fault stored in the View Faults menu
- No change in discharge temperature while cooling is called
- Fault retained even after the board loses power
Common causes
- No delta-T detected at the discharge for 30 minutes during cooling
- Cooling stage not engaging or not producing cooling
- Discharge temperature sensor fault or misplacement
- Insufficient or no airflow across the cooling section
Diagnostic steps
- 01
Confirm cooling is operating
Verify the cooling stages are being commanded on and the condenser(s) are running.
- 02
Check airflow through the unit
Ensure adequate airflow across the cooling section, since no airflow prevents a discharge temperature change.
- 03
Inspect the discharge sensor
Confirm the discharge temperature sensor is connected and correctly positioned to read discharge air.
- 04
Resolve, then clear the fault
After restoring a measurable delta-T, use Clear Faults; an unresolved cooling condition can bring the fault back.

When to call a professional
Call a qualified refrigeration or HVAC technician if cooling does not engage, produces no measurable temperature drop, or the fault returns after sensor and airflow checks. Diagnosing a cooling circuit that will not produce a delta-T involves refrigerant-charged condensers, compressor controls, and line-voltage wiring, so this work should be left to a professional certified to service the unit's cooling system.
