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

Depending on the size of the unit, the heat pump unit may contain up to 3 independent circuits, each consisting of the same components (compressor, pipeline, valves and sensors). In such units, refrigerant coils (condenser and evaporator) of a heat pump also consist of several tiers, which are independent of each other, but the amount of refrigerant in the individual circuits is different. Heat pump model, number of circuits and exact amount of refrigerant is indicated in a label inside the unit.

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.

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.
On RHP 80 and bigger units check and if necessary, adjust the position of the rotary wheel in relation to the section housing before connecting all the sections (see Appendix No.1)

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.

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.

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.

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.
