SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All paragraphs preceded by this symbol ! require great attention as they
underline dangerous situations or important information.
2.1 General
CLEVER Air handling units are to be installed, operated and maintained only by
qualified technical personnel. The units are suitably designed for air
conditioning, heating, cooling and ventilation.
2.2 Fan Coil Section
** DANGER. ROTATING MACHINERY.
It is strictly forbidden to enter into the fan area while the fan is
operating. When necessary, the operator should be equipped with proper safety
equipment and clothes in compliance with local regulations. Once turned off,
the fan will take time to come to a complete stop.
2.3 Heating Coil
Pay attention to the heating coil high temperature. The maintenance personnel
should treat the surface as hot and be equipped with gloves and clothes to
prevent accidents.
2.4 Electrical Connections
Turn all isolators off before touching any electrical connections. The
electric cables and cables sockets should be in compliance with local wiring
regulations.
2.5 Filter Plenum Section
Turn the power supply OFF, before entering into this area.
The filter section should be treated as highly flammable due to fine dust
build-up present. As such it is forbidden to smoke or to light flames inside
the filters area. Dirty filters can easily ignite.
2.6 Moving Parts
Pay attention when the dampers are operating.
DO NOT place your hands on moving components such as blades or fan wheels.
2.7 Sharp Objects**
Sharp objects have been minimised in access areas, however beware of
projecting parts and sharp sheet-metal edges in other places.
PACKING & TRANSPORT
3.1 Packing
CLEVER air handling units are usually supplied dis-assembled in two parts; a
Fan Coil section and a Plenum section.
Temperzone disclaims all responsibilities concerning any damages once the
goods have been received. Receivers are responsible to inspect the goods on
delivery for damages. Upon finding damage, IMMEDIATELY notify the freight
company and Temperzone. Failure to provide immediate notice will cause any
warranty / damage claims to be invalid.
CLEVER air handling units are generally supplied with shrink wrapped plastic
finish with heavy plastic covers on wooden pallets to provide weather / site
protection. This will not prevent damage during transport and inspection.
Unwrapping should also be undertaken to check for any damage.
3.2 Transportation
Always secure unit with straps (never use chains). For long or difficult
transportation, sections should be fixed carefully considering factors such
as: internal weight of the components, condition of the roads, etc, to ensure
the CLEVER air handling unit suffers no damage. Temperzone disclaims all
responsibilities concerning damages due to incorrect loading and unloading.
** The various sections should be loaded and unloaded with attention to the
projecting parts: hinges, handles, drain trays and connections, pipe
connections, and so on. Never use these points to move the air handling unit.
3.3 Loading & Unloading
CLEVER air handling units are supplied on a wooden pallet designed to allow
easy lifting with a fork-lift truck.
STROPS/SLINGS AND SPREADER BARS ARE THE RECOMMENDED METHOD OF LIFTING AIR
HANDLING UNITS.
To reduce the risk of damage we recommend that protection be added to the
casing when lifting or unloading Gently manoeuvre unit in order to avoid high
impacts that could cause damage, eg cracks to rivets, screws etc.
Air handling units should be stored in dry rooms and protected from
atmospheric conditions. Only with these precautions oxidation, etc can be
avoided.
3.4 Panel Clear Protective Film
**The external clear protection film on the external panels
MUST BE REMOVED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DELIVERY.
The material is applied to protect the panel lining during panel manufacture
and transportation. Failure to remove this protective film may cause damage of
the lining surface.
Claims for damage caused by prolonged time the film left on the panels are not
the responsibility of Temperzone.
POSITIONING & MOUNTING
4.1 Location
The MT range is designed to be installed indoors and typically in a
plant/machinery room. The unit can be mounted outdoors, but only if adequate
roof protection is provided over the unit. Refer Specifications document
supplied for clearance requirements for future servicing and maintenance.
4.2 Mounting
The unit should be fastened to a firm flat horizontal plinth via the mounting
base channels. L-shape shipping brackets are supplied at each corner which can
be re-used for this purpose. Ensure vibration isolating mounts or pads are
included.
A water level is required to position the CLEVER air handling unit, using
wedges when necessary to ensure correct clearances for opening of inspection
doors. The CLEVER air handling unit can be installed directly on a floor able
to support its weight. We however recommend advisable to build a base plinth
made of concrete or sheet metal.
Flexible duct connections are recommended between the supply and return ducts
and the unit.
4.3 Condensate Drains
Condensation can form on the indoor cooling coils. This is normal during unit
operation. It is recommended the condensate be piped to a suitable drainage
point to prevent ponding and/or slippery mould growth around the base of the
unit.
For a drip free installation a separate drain tray beneath the unit could be
used to drain condensate to a suitable drainage point.
Condensate drains should be ‘U’ trapped outside the unit.
The trap should have a vertical height of at least 100 mm.
The drain should have a slope of at least 1 in 50 and must not be piped to a
level above the unit drain pipe. (refer diagram below)
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
5.1 Section Assembly
During installation, pay attention to fixing clamp plates positioned on
sections. A self-adhesive backed foam gasket is supplied with the unit.
- Apply self-adhesive gasket (supplied) around the joining faces of one section (figure ‘a’)
- Align and push the two sections together for a perfect match. During this operation, keep the sections level with the help of a spirit level. Tighten clamps using a hex-key size 6 (CRV6).
5.2 Connection To Ducts
Flexible connections should avoid transmitting vibration through the air duct
from the CLEVER air handling unit and vice versa. The rubberized canvas / PVC
should be sufficiently released. Never connect ducts directly to the CLEVER
air handling unit. Place a gasket on flanges to avoid air leakage. Tighten
screws, even those difficult to reach. Use silicone to seal slots created by
the gasket.
5.3 AHU Components
Filters
Secure filters (supplied separately) in place using the appropriate clipped or
screwed frames. Filters must be installed in the CLEVER air handling unit from
the initial start-up. Make sure that gaskets/seals are intact and have been
placed correctly to avoid air bypass.
Coils
Pipes of coils supplied by water should be installed perfectly horizontal. The
fluid should run through the coil in counterflow direction in drain headers to
obtain the maximum heat output couplings. Air vents are supplied on the upper
part of the unit’s coil/s. When establishing the dimensions of the flow/return
pipework do not refer to the coil connections diameter. This dimension has
been standardized and will not reflect the internal workings of the coil. Do
not load coil connections with connection pipes weight. Provide pipe support
where appropriate.
Anti-freeze
To avoid coil cracks caused by freezing, when the temperature drops below 3
°C, add anti-freeze to water or completely pre-drain the coil. This precaution
is required for all units not operating continuously.
Water Connections
The external hydraulic system should not transfer vibrations to the CLEVER
unit’s coils. Preventive measures should be taken to isolate the transfer of
vibrations, otherwise damage caused by work hardening will lead to early
failure. Be careful when connecting the coil connections, as if they are
twisted, you may damage copper pipes and drain tanks pan discharge couplings.
During pre-test operations, carefully check the coil for possible cracks.
WIRING
Electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician and meet standard
AS/NZS 3000.
DANGER! LIVE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
ISOLATE MAINS POWER BEFORE WORKING ON UNIT.
CAUTION! Parts within the electrical enclosure are still
LIVE when local isolator is OFF.
The unit must be wired directly from a distribution board using an
appropriately sized circuit breaker. The termination point for the mains cable
is in the electrical compartment. An isolating switch is required, near but
not on the unit.
External wiring conduit should be routed along the units aluminium framework.
DO NOT install wiring in contact with piping. Refer Specification Sheet for
correct power wiring and control connection points.
- Ensure all electrical connections are fastened and continuous.
- Check motor starter and overloads for correct rating and trip setting.
- All circuit breakers or protective devices associated with the motor must be rated to suit motor running current and starting characteristics.
- Field connection cables must be appropriately selected considering the voltage drop.
- When using long supply cables, check with motor supplier recommendations to avoid high voltage transients occurring at motor terminals.
- Check the connection diagram on the motor terminal box and make sure the supply leads are properly connected considering the supply phase sequence.
- Ensure that the supply cable terminations on to the motor terminal board are firm, without loss of strands while using crimped lugs. Ensure enough clearances are provided between supply cable lugs and to earth.
- Ensure that proper earthing connections are made.
- If using conduit for the supply cable, ensure the conduit are completely threaded in and seal the threads appropriately.
START-UP & OPERATION
7.1 Start-Up
- Check tightness of electrical connections.
- Check the air filters have been correctly installed.
- Check that all indoor fan motors can freely rotate.
- Apply mains power to the unit by closing the mains isolating switch.
- Check the supply voltage between each phase and neutral.
- For units with water coils, check air has been bleed from the water loop prior to unit operation.
- Check air diffusers are open
7.2 Motor
- Before running the motor make sure that the terminal box lid is closed and secured with appropriate clearance to live parts.
- Make sure that appropriate earthing are done.
- Make sure that the moving parts are adequately guarded for safety.
- Check the mounting bolts and/or flanges are firmly secured.
- Make sure of no loose objects around that may be sucked by the cooling fan on the motor or the fan.
- Make sure that the load applied is within the nameplate specification.
- Check that the running current on no-load and full-load are reasonably balanced within 10% of the average and record the figures on the Commisssioning Sheet p.6 for future reference.
- While the fan is running, check for the correct direction of rotation of the impeller. It should be the same as shown by the arrow.
COMMISSIONING
A Commissioning Sheet is included on page 6 to assist in recording appropriate
checks.
A unit equipped with variable speed (EC) indoor plug fan allows adjustment of
the fan speeds to obtain the desired indoor supply airflows.
****Setting the indoor fan speed too high can bring a risk of water carry-
over, ie condensation can be sucked off the fins off the indoor coil and into
the supply air duct. Water could then start leaking from the supply air vents
and diffusers, damaging items below, and corrosion of ducting may occur.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance operations should only be undertaken BY AUTHORIZED TECHNICAL
PERSONNEL. All maintenance shall to strictly comply with local and national
safety regulations. Before any service is begun, the person responsible for it
should switch off the power supply and switch off the unit. A safety sign with
maintenance operation should be displayed as a warning.
Before you start:
DANGER. TURN OFF POWER TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND ROTATING MACHINERY
9.1 Air Mixing Dampers
CLEVER opposed blade dampers are manufactured from extruded aluminium profiles
with nylon gears wheels. This type of damper does not normally require
lubrication, but only normal cleaning. If the damper environment is dusty or
dirty, cleaning of the damper gears are necessary and regular lubrication will
help prevent binding. Silicon based lubricants are recommended.
Ensure the dampers are always installed square without any additional twisting
pressure from connecting ductwork, etc.
Excessive external pressure can cause damper binding and premature failure of
the nylon gear wheels.
9.2 Holding Frames & Clips
CLEVER air handling unit can be fitted with stainless steel holding frames.
The holding frames are provided with a gasket in order to ensure a perfect
airtightness and avoid air bypass. The four retaining clips should be fitted
and clipped in the correct position. Incorrectly fitted clips or missing of
one of them could cause air bypass. For a correct tight seal the gasket should
not be damaged, so it should be checked every time you replace a filter. If
the seal is damaged replace or repair it.
9.3 Coils Supplied By Water
Coils are fitted with manual air bleeds. Additional bleeding should not be
required unless any work has been done on the external chilled water system.
Bleed prior to operation of the CLEVER air handling unit.
9.5 Six Monthly Checks
- Check the tightness of all electrical connections.
- Check for signs of corrosion on electrical connections in high salt atmospheres; replace where necessary.
- Check the tightness of all fans motor mountings.
- Check and/or replace indoor air filters; more frequently if required.
- Check condensate drain for free drainage and clean as necessar y.
9.6 Annual Checks
- Check all piping for chafing and vibration.
- Check the operation of electric heaters, if fitted
- Check air supply at all diffusers
- Check for excessive noise and vibration and correct as necessary.
- Check for insulation and duct damage and repair as necessary.
- Touch up any paintwork damage to prevent corrosion
