1. INTRODUCTION
This Installation Manual is intended for professionals, qualified to install
RHP PRO air handling units. Qualified professionals are people with sufficient
professional experience and knowledge of ventilation systems and installation
thereof, knowledge of electrical safety requirements and having ability to
perform works without endangering themselves or others.
See the KOMFOVENT website for user manuals.
1.1. Safety Requirements
To avoid misunderstandings, read this Instruction Manual carefully before
installing air-handling unit. Only a qualified professional in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable legal acts and safety
requirements may install air-handling units. An air handling unit is an
electrical-mechanical device that contains electrical and moving parts,
therefore, disregarding instructions of this manual will void the
manufacturer’s warranty and may also cause direct damage to property or human
health.
· Before starting any tasks, make sure that the unit is unplugged from the
mains. · Use caution when performing works near internal or external heaters
as their surfaces may be hot. · Do not connect the unit to the mains unless
all the external assemblies are installed completely. · Do not connect the
unit to the mains in case of any visible damage incurred during
transportation. · Do not leave foreign objects and tools inside the unit. · It
is forbidden to operate air-handling units in areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres. · Use appropriate safety equipment (gloves, goggles) when
performing installation or repair works. · Heat pump system is filled with
refrigerant (F-gas), therefore only qualified refrigeration systems’
specialists or “Komfovent” representative can perform any
mechanical/electrical works on a heat pump. · Temperature of evaporating
refrigerant is very low and causes severe frostbite in contact with skin,
therefore use appropriate safety equipment (gloves, goggles).

1.2. Unit Types and Sizes
An air-handling unit is a device designed to ensure good ventilation in the
premises. An air- handling unit removes indoor air containing carbon dioxide,
various allergens or dust, while replacing it with filtered fresh air from
outside. As the outside air is usually colder or warmer than the air within
the premises, an integrated recuperator (heat exchanger) collects thermal
energy from the indoor air and transfers the majority of it to the supply air.
When a recuperator is not capable of reaching a desired temperature,
additional heaters or coolers may be activated.
Heat exchangers and heaters (or coolers) are designed to compensate for heat/cool losses during ventilation, therefore, we do not recommend using this unit as the main heating/cooling source. The unit may fail to reach a user- defined supply air temperature when the actual temperature in the premises differs significantly from the temperature set point, since this will lead to inefficient operation of a heat exchanger.
RHP air handling units with a rotary heat exchanger and an integrated heat pump. Rotating wheel (rotor) of a rotary heat exchanger collects heat or cold from the indoor air and transfers it to the fresh supply air. Recovered heat/cold capacity is changed by adjusting the rotor speed. When heat recovery is not required, the wheel stops. If a heat exchanger alone is not capable of reaching a desired temperature, an integrated heat pump is activated. If heating/cooling capacity is still too low, additional heaters or coolers may be activated.1

A heat pump assembly consists of a piping system containing refrigerant,
compressor, two radiators (condenser and evaporator) and separate control
electronics. If air velocity in the air handling unit is high (> 2 m/s),
optional drop eliminators are installed by the condenser and/or evaporator,
which prevent condensate from entering other parts of the unit or air ducts.

Fig. 5. Example of a heat pump’s information label
Heat pump is activated automatically when a rotary heat exchanger is unable to
reach desired temperature; and is switched off as soon as desired temperature
is reached. Frequent starting and stopping of a heat pump may damage
compressor, therefore, when heating/cooling demand is low, the heat pump will
continue running for some time after the set temperature has been reached. In
such cases, supplied air may be slightly warmer (in heating mode) or cooler
(in cooling mode) than desired; however, the extracted temperature control
mode will help to reduce such temperature fluctuations (see “User
Instructions”).
A certain airflow is required to ensure proper operation of a heat pump, i. e.
to ensure efficient heat exchange and maintain refrigerant pressure within
limits. When airflow is reduced, the heat pump output is limited, and when
airflow drops below minimum limit, compressor temporarily stops. Heat pump
operation is resumed only when airflow increases, therefore, it is important
to take these air volumes into account when designing a ventilation system or
choosing additional functions:

Fig. 6. Heat pump capacity limitation according airflow
Heat pump is not operating when outdoor air temperature is between 15°C and
20°C, as, in this case, the rotary heat exchanger is usually capable of
reaching desired air temperature.
If heating/cooling demand increases when the heat pump is switched off,
additional heaters/coolers are activated1.
When the heat pump is running, we recommend operating air handling units with
the smallest possible air volume difference between the supply and extract
airflows. In case of high flow imbalances (>20%), capacity and efficiency of
the heat pump decreases, therefore the compressor operates at a critical
refrigerant pressure limit. This results in reduced operating life and
increased probability of failure.
During winter operation, when the heat pump is in heating mode, condensate on
the evaporator starts freezing and forms frost. Large ice deposits block
airflow in the evaporator and may damage the heat pump. Therefore, the
evaporator is automatically defrosted during winter use. When the outdoor
temperature drops below zero, the heat pump automation system starts
constantly monitoring pressure difference upstream and downstream the
evaporator heat exchanger. When condensate accumulates in heat exchanger
plates and ice starts to form, pressure increases and defrosting actions are
initiated. During the defrost cycle, part of the hot refrigerant gas is
directed from the compressor to the evaporator to melt forming ice crystals,
therefore supply air temperature temporarily drops. Integrated electric or
auxiliary heaters are switched on to compensate for this change. As soon as
frost melts and pressure decreases, all the power of the heat pump is
redirected to the heating process.

1.3.4. Cooler and Heater Sections
Cooler section is fitted with water or direct evaporation (DX) coolers as well
as combined heater/cooler heat exchangers. Cooling air causes condensation,
therefore, a condensate tray is installed under a heat exchanger. If air
velocity in the air handling unit is high (> 2 m/s), an optional drop
eliminator is installed, which prevents condensate from entering other parts
of the unit or air ducts.

Depending on the order, electric or water heaters may be selected. An electric
heater section is fitted with heater control electronics and the main circuit
breaker (see Chapter “Requirements for Electrical Connection”). A water heater
is fitted with a return water temperature sensor, which protects the heat
exchanger against freezing. Sensor installation procedure is described in
Chapter “Installation of External Heating/Cooling Devices”.

1.3.5. Air Dampers
Air dampers are mounted on the outside of the unit and are fastened with self-
tapping screws. Air dampers are designed to isolate the unit and to protect
against air flows and draughts when the unit is stopped. Damper blades are
closed/opened with an electric actuator (24 V AC), the power and torque of
which is selected according to a damper size. Rectangular air ducts may be
connected directly to dampers (see Chapter “Connection of Air Ducts”). For
outdoor installation, air dampers with electric actuators must be protected
against environmental influences with special covers or other structures.

3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.1. Requirements for Mounting Location and Installation Base
RHP PRO air handling units are designed for ventilation of medium or large
commercial or industrial premises (e.g., stores, offices, hotels, etc.) where
standard air temperature and humidity is maintained. These units are not
intended for transporting solid particles within air flows. Standard equipment
air handling units are intended for indoor installation; and with additional
accessories, these units may be mounted outdoors. Air handling units are
designed for ambient temperatures from -30°C to +40°C.
· RHP PRO units are not intended for operation in areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres. Air handling units are not designed for ventilation and
dehumidification of wet areas (pools, saunas, car washes, etc.).
· If the AHU is installed in a room with high humidity level, condensate may
form on the walls of the unit at low outdoor temperatures.
An air handling unit must be mounted on a relatively large and sturdy base,
based on the weight of the unit and in accordance with building regulations.
Base must be made of reinforced concrete or metal structures. If the unit is
not equipped with adjustable height feet, it must be installed on a flat base.
Vibration dampening gaskets must be fitted between the unit and installation
base. When the unit is not equipped with an installation frame or adjustable
height feet, it should be fixed to the base with metal angle-pieces and rubber
vibration dampening gaskets. When installed outdoors, air handling units must
also be attached to the base. During installation, unit sections must be
levelled in respect to the horizon: deviations shall not exceed 0.3 mm for 1 m
in the longitudinal direction and 0.5 mm for 1 m in the transverse direction.

Depending on the unit size and purpose of sections thereof, separate sections
may be interconnected with external tightening elements or internal tightening
brackets, using supplied screws. Sealing gaskets must be attached to joints
before joining the sections (supplied with the unit). Gaskets are installed
around the entire perimeter of the section as well as on a shelf which
separates different air flows. Screws must be tightened so that the gasket is
fully compressed and distance between the sections does not exceed 23 mm. If
the unit is ordered with an installation frame, additionaly sections shall be
tightened through the designated holes in the installation frame (insert
internal section connection screws first, before tightening installation
frame).
Sections are tightened at the inside corners as well as in the middle at the
shelf separating different air flows. If some of the connection openings near
the fans are hard to reach, air closing damper can be dismounted or external
tightening elements can be used for easier section tightening.

3.4. Installation of External Heating/Cooling Devices
Based on their equipment, RHP PRO air handling units may be operated with
various heating or cooling devices. Heaters/ coolers are usually installed in
separate sections that are connected at the end of the unit (in the supply air
stream). For air handling units with R1 or L1 inspection sides, heater/cooler
sections are mounted on an installation frame and connected at the bottom part
of the unit. For R2 and L2 inspection side units, heater/cooler sections are
mounted at the top part of the unit and must be additionally fastened or
suspended (fastening/suspending accessories not included). Heat exchanger
sections are mounted to the AHU and sealed in the same way as other sections
(see Chapter “Connection of Sections”).

Pipes of water heater and cooler are connected to a water mixing unit (PPU)
that supplies hot/cold water from the building’s water system. Heat exchangers
for direct evaporation (DX) coolers/heaters are factory-filled with nitrogen
gas. Before connecting a heat exchanger to a refrigerant system, nitrogen gas
is discharged through a valve which is then cut off and heat exchanger
connections are soldered to a pipeline. Coils for water or DX coolers are
fitted with condensate trays to which a siphon and drainage piping must be
connected (see Chapter “Connection of a Condensate Drain”).
Electrical heater sections require a separate power supply.
All connections to the heating or cooling system piping and mains must be
performed by a qualified specialist.
Fig. 20. Connection of sleeves
When connecting sleeves of water heaters/coolers, use two pipe wrenches to
secure sleeves, otherwise they will be damaged. If water is used in the
heater, for frost protection return water temperature sensor (B5) must be
installed on the return water pipe as close to the heater as possible. It can
be screwed1 into a special opening or fixed with a strap on the pipe. Fix the
sensor in a way that its metal part has good contact with a surface of the
pipe. The sensor must be thermally insulated so that the room temperature does
not distort water temperature measurements.

When operating air handling unit in temperatures lower than 0°C, it is
necessary to use water-glycol mixture as a heat carrier or to maintain a
return water temperature of at least 25°C.
Pipework package2 must include circulation pump, which circulates
heating/cooling medium through the coil (smaller circuit) and 3-way mixing
valve with modulated actuator. In cases if 2-way valve is used, additionally
it must be installed non-return valves to ensure continuous circulation around
smaller circuit. PPU must be installed as close to the water coil as possible.

3.5. Connection of a Condensate Drain
During operation of the heat pump, air humidity condensates and accumulates in
specially designed condensate trays. Condensate is removed from condensate
trays via drainage pipes, therefore a condensate drainage system must be
connected. Drainage piping must be at least 40 mm in diameter, mounted with a
slope, without narrowing sections or loops preventing water from draining. If
such drainage piping is installed outdoors or in unheated premises, it must be
adequately insulated or equipped with a heating cable to prevent water from
freezing during winter. Drainage piping is connected to the unit with a
siphon. Due to positive or negative air pressure in the air handling unit,
water cannot drain out of the condensate collection tray by itself. Therefore,
it is necessary to connect a proper height siphon or a siphon with a one-way
valve to the drain pipe.

Fig. 24. Example of a siphon with a one-way valve
Any drainage system cannot be directly connected to the common waste water
system in order to protect supply air from contamination with bacteria and
odours. Condensate from the air handling unit drainage system shall be
collected into a separate container or should be lead to a sewage grille
without any direct contact: do not connect drain directly to sewer pipe and do
not immerse it into water. Condensate collection location must be easily
accessible for cleaning and disinfection.

3.6. Connection to Air Ducts
· Ducts connecting the unit to the exterior of the building must be insulated
(insulation thickness 50 100 mm) to prevent condensation on cold surfaces.
· Air intake and exhaust ducts must be fitted with air shut-off dampers
(electric with actuators) to protect the unit from exposure to climatic
conditions when the unit is switched off.
· In order to minimise AHU generated noise and noise transferring through the
ducts into ventilated areas, sound suppressors (silencers) must be connected
to the unit.
· Air duct system elements must have separate brackets and must be mounted in
a way that their weight is not shifted to the unit casing.
Air ducts shall be connected to flexible unit connections, flanges or air
dampers. Depending on the AHU size, L-20 or L-30 flanges shall be used.
Special adhesive gasket must be attached to flanges for airtightness of air
ducts. We recommend installing a solid gasket, i.e. do not cut it to smaller
pieces. Make sure that the gasket does not cover fastening holes in the
corners and is not damaged when fastening screws. Flanges in the corners are
fastened with M8x20 screws and a C profile is pressed on edges to connect the
flanges.

For rectangular ducts where opening sides are longer than 500 mm, it is
recommended to use universal clamp connectors instead of C profile to ensure
better air tightness. Clamp connectors should be spaced evenly at intervals of
no more than 265 mm.
265 mm
Fig. 27. Duct connection example using universal clamp connectors
Air closing damper profile dimensions are the same as those of L-20 flange
(for all AHU sizes), thus when mounting additional parts (ducts, flexible
connectors, duct heaters/coolers, silencers and etc.) directly to the air
damper, they should also have an L-20 flange connection for easier
installation.
3.7. Outdoor Units
RHP PRO air handling units for outdoor installation must be additionally
protected against environmental effects by installing a protective roof and
exhaust air hoods. Units shall be mounted on an installation frame which is
attached to an installation base. Ventilation devices, when possible, should
be installed near the walls for protection against wind loads. For outdoor
installation, units with drainage pipes must be additionally protected against
freezing, for example, with electric heating cables for drainage pipes. If the
unit was ordered for outdoor installation, each section of the unit will be
fitted with a protective roof. Separately ordered protective roof shall be
installed once the unit is fully assembled.
Connections of units for outdoor installation must be additionally sealed
(sealant not included).
If the outdoor unit will be switched off during the cold season, supply and
extract air ducts (on the indoor side) must be fitted with additional air
shut-off dampers. These should prevent warm indoor air from circulating inside
the unit when it is stopped to avoid condensation, which may be detrimental to
electronic components.

functions of the unit via external contacts which are
connected to a common terminal 8. These include thermostats, switches, motion
sensors and other devices with normally open or closed contacts. Activated
functions will operate as long as those contacts are connected. · Terminal 4
is used for activating recirculation (if a recirculation damper is ordered,
controlled by an external contact) or
switching between heating and cooling modes when a combined water
heater/cooler coil is fitted (when terminals are connected, the water valve
actuator and pump will be controlled by a cooling signal. For example, a
thermostat can be connected here to close terminals when cold water circulates
in the system). · Closing contacts 5 and 8 will stop the unit. · Fire alarm
requires a normally closed contact (NC), therefore, a jumper is connected
between terminals 6 and 8, instead of which, building fire system can be
connected. When the contact is disconnected, the unit stops, fans speed up
(according to the order) and a fire alarm message is displayed. · Terminal 7
actives an “Override” ventilation mode (OVR). This mode has priority over
other AHU functions and may be activated even when the unit is stopped (i.e.
to start the unit by closing contacts). OVR function settings are set via the
control panel or computer. This function is active as long as terminals are
closed. B5 (910) when a water heater is installed, this terminal is used
for connecting a return water temperature sensor (NTC 10k) which protects

5. FILTERS
Air filters are intended for removing dust, bacteria and other fine particles
from the supplied and extracted air. RHP PRO air handling units are fitted
with bag filters, since they have a larger filtering surface than compact
filters and will require less frequent filter replacement. Filters are made of
synthetic fabric and can have different filtration classes1, i.e. intended for
removing particles of different sizes. In general, supply air ducts are
equipped with better filtering class filters than extracted air ducts, since
the cleaned outdoor air is supplied to the premises. Make sure to replace
filters on time, as contaminated filters increase pressure loss of the unit,
reduce purification efficiency and increase power consumption.
The unit has an integrated filter contamination monitoring function. It
continuously measures pressure difference upstream and downstream the filter
to evaluate level of contamination. In case filters from another manufacturer
or filters of other filtration class are used instead of factory-fitted
filters, calibration of clean filters shall be performed before using the air
handling unit. Filter replacement intervals depend on the environment
pollution conditions as well as time of year, for example, during spring and
summer filters may be contaminated with pollen, pubescence or insects,
therefore change intervals are shorter. Replace filters if they are visibly
dirty even though it is not time yet and a filter change message is not
displayed yet.
Filter type, dimensions, filtering class, number and exact location is
specified in the technical data print-out for the specific unit.
Fig. 46. Filter clamping device
To insert/remove filters, pull two handles at the top and bottom of the filter
to release a filter clamping device. Filters are removed/inserted one by one
(number of filters depends on the unit size). Once the filters are
replaced/inserted, handles are pushed and the filter clamping device presses
the filters to the gaskets.
When inserting filters, make sure that their pockets are upright, filter
frames are tightly seated and gaskets are intact.

6. COMMISSIONING AND INSPECTION OF THE UNIT
Before switching on the device, check for foreign objects, debris or tools
inside the unit. Make sure that air filters are installed and condensate
drainage is connected, fill the siphon with water. Make sure that the ductwork
is free from obstructions such as fully closed diffusers or adjustment valves
or blocked external air intake grilles. Inspect the heat pump assembly. Check
for presence of moisture in the refrigerant system. A sight glass with
moisture indicator is provided for this purpose. The indicator is completely
green when there is no moisture in the system and changes colour (to yellow or
red) when moisture is detected. Check the approximate level of the refrigerant
liquid level should be at least up to ¾ of the sight glass.
· You may start your AHU only when it is fully installed, ducts and external
electrical elements are connected. Do not start the unit without air ducts
connected. This may distort air volume measurements required for stable
operation of the fans.
· Do not use the unit with a temporary electrical power supply as unstable
power can damage the electronic components.
See the KOMFOVENT website for user manuals.
The unit is controlled via a control panel or a computer. The unit is supplied
with the following operation modes that may be used immediately after
installation or different ventilation settings may be selected. · COMFORT 1
maximum ventilation intensity (100%), desired air temperature 21°C. ·
COMFORT 2 average ventilation intensity (50%), desired air temperature
21°C. · ECONOMY 1 low ventilation intensity (33%), desired air temperature
20°C. · ECONOMY 2 minimum ventilation intensity (20%), desired air
temperature 19°C. · SPECIAL maximum ventilation intensity (100%), desired
air temperature 21°C.
This mode may also be used to disable heating/cooling and other functions.

During the first minute of starting the unit, the unit automation checks the
settings, automation components and opens air dampers. Later, a signal is sent
to fans and a heat exchanger, and the unit starts operating at a selected
ventilation mode.
The first time you turn on your air handling unit, you will have to perform
calibration of a HP evaporator1 (if not performed during installation). This
calibration is necessary for proper operation of the antifreeze prevention
function.
During calibration, the unit will run for 10 minutes by changing fan speed and
will be measuring pressure inside the unit, therefore, do not open the unit
door, do not adjust the duct system or change parameters at that time. To stop
calibration, turn off the unit with a control panel or in the Overview screen.

If the unit was ordered without a control panel or it is not used, you can
start it with your computer. In this case the unit is controlled via a web
browser. Connect your computer directly to the AHU or to the same computer
network as described in Chapter 4.5. Run the Internet browser on the computer
and disable the use of all Proxy servers that may block the connection in the
settings. In the web browser address bar, enter the IP address of the unit:

6.3. Calibration of Clean Filters
RHP PRO control automation continuously monitors filter contamination.
Pressure drop of clean filters is preset in the factory. If filters are from
another manufacturer or of different filtering class, we recommend performing
initial calibration of clean filters before commissioning of the unit. During
calibration, the unit will operate at a maximum speed for a few minutes,
measure the pressure difference upstream and downstream the filter and
automatically set the filter filtration class.
Calibration of clean filters with the control panel:
Start calibration?
Calibration of filters with a computer: Select Point “Warnings/States”:
If filters ordered with the unit are used (same manufacturer and filtration class), calibration of clean filters is not required.

ANNEX NO. 1. ADJUSTMENT OF THE ROTARY HEAT EXCHANGER WHEEL
In the RHP 80 and larger units, a large-diameter rotary heat exchanger is
used. Since, during the operation, the airflow constantly pushes the rotor
wheel, due to its dimensions, to one side, it can eventually distort, causing
the rotor sealing brushes and axle bearings to wear out faster or even may jam
after time. To prevent this, check and, if necessary, adjust the position of
the rotary wheel in relation to the section housing before connecting all the
sections of the AHU. This is especially important if the mounting base is not
completely level and the sections of the unit cannot be perfectly leveled
using adjustable feet (see section “Requirements for the mounting location,
installation base”). It is also recommended to check the position of the
rotary wheel periodically, at least once a year.

On the rotary heat exchanger housing, you will find a sticker A indicating the direction of the airflows in the unit. It is used to determine the tilting direction of the rotary wheel (see step 5). Wheel tilt regulation point C can be accessed from the side or from an adjacent section (if the unit sections are connected together). In the rotor section, you will also find additional adjustment plates B, that can be used, if the factory-installed adjustment plates are not sufficient to achieve the correct tilt angle.
