What is ODU in floor plan?

When preparing a floor plan, the building engineer specifies the major physical features such as rooms, patterns, fixtures and other structural elements. In this plan they also mention where the central air conditioning elements such as outdoor units will be placed. So if you are thinking what is ODU in floor plan this is what it signifies.

ODU or Outdoor Unit in floor plan is nothing but a representation of the location of the outdoor unit of air conditioning in the house. 

You must know that an outdoor unit in AC is

located in the rear or side of your house and it is where the heat from inside your home is dispersed.

Hey pal,

You must be curious about what ODU means. I had no idea about the full form of the acronym before. IDU stands for Indoor Unit, whereas ODU full form is Outdoor Unit. Both of them are terms associated with VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal). I will share the details below. 

All apartments that have ODU consist of RF upconverter/downconverter, RF Power Amplifier, OMT, LNA and Antenna. In simple words, ODU is a subsystem that is located outside the office or home. The compressor and condenser of electronic appliances are kept outside in the ODU. The XMC-2H, WL-2H, WL-2, and WL-3E series ODUs are a type of high-power single-channel ODU. The WL-5D series ODUs is a type of dual channel ODU in high power, which supports carrier aggregation (CA).

According to experts, these split-mount microwave products can enable ultra-high performance and ultra-high reliability.

In technical terms, The Outdoor Unit (ODU) is part of the digital microwave transmission system. It supports a point-to-point digital fixed radio service and works together with the Indoor Unit (IDU) to provide multiple types of service interfaces. 

Feature:

You can find ODU with various features in‧ XMC-2H, WL-2H, WL-2, WL-3E series

The Support BW of all ODU will be :

• 6/7/8G:7/14/28/40/56MHz

• 10G: 3.5/7/14/28/40/56MHz

• 11G: 7/14/28/40/56MHz

• 26/28G: 7/14/28/40/56/112MHz

• Support Modulation: 

• 6/7/8/11/26/28G: QPSK-4096QAM

• 10G: QPSK-2048QAM

‧ WL-5D series

Support BW:

L6G/U6G/8G: 7/14/28/40/56/80/112MHz for single-channel mode, 7/14/28/40/56/80/112MHz for CA mode

7G: 7/14/28/40/56MHz

Support Modulation:

L6G/U6G/7/8G: QPSK-4096QAM for single-channel mode, QPSK-2048QAM for CA mode

For the New Generation ODU, the technical features and power needed for its function is given below.

Single-channel

 ‧ 6GHz Band: XMC 6G-2H, WL L6G-2H, WL U6G-2H

 ‧ 7GHz Band: XMC 7G-2H, WL 7G-2H

 ‧ 8GHz Band: XMC 8G-2H, WL 8G-2H

 ‧ 10GHz Band: WL 10G-2

 ‧ 11GHz Band: WL 11G-2H, WL 11G-3E

 ‧ 26GHz Band: WL 26G-3E

 ‧ 28GHz Band: WL 28G-3E

Dual-channel

 ‧ 6GHz Band: WL-5D L6G/ L6G, WL-5D U6G/ U6G

 ‧ 7GHz Band: WL-5D 7G/7G

 ‧ 8GHz Band: WL-5D 8G/8G

This is all from my end on what ODU means and its full form.

The ODU meaning in construction denotes Out Door Units of HVAC that is Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning system which is generally situated in the balcony of High rise buildings. I hope you now understand the ODU meaning in floor plan.

It is crucial that the ODU in floor plan gets enough cooling in the balcony so that the temperature of the refrigerator can be kept under control. If the ODU is placed in the same region on each floor that is one above the other it makes a stack effect. The seasonal wind can affect the evaluation performance of ODU which at times is used to check the contract of differences. 

• The engineer needs to create the model of the building with information related to utility and ODU.

• Checking the heat dissipation by ODU with the hot air short-circuiting at ODU inlets.

• Coming up with a design within the limited space in the balcony.

• ODU helps to determine the maximum temperature at all the ODU inlets beforehand.

• Helps to determine the high swirl angle difficulty at ODU-inlets.

• Helps to save both money and time with effective ODU performance.

I hope now you know what is ODU meaning in building.
