TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Duct heat exchangers are mounted outside the unit. Heat exchangers are designed to heat/cool cleaned air in the ventilation systems. Coils are made of copper tubes and aluminium plates as standard. The housings of heat exchangers are made of galvanised steel (fig. 1a)
Coolers with rectangular connections are mounted in shield sections (fig. 1b).
Shield thickness is 45 mm, with mineral stone wool (λ = 0,037 W/mK). The case
can be painted in RAL 7035.
Cooler section is assembled with a drop separator and a drain tray (drain tray
pipe Ø32 mm). The connecting flanges of cooler is L20.
The control of heat exchangers is provided in control automatics.
Air cooler/heater section with rectangular connections is shown in fig. 2.
There are shown water heat exchangers with round connections in fig. 3.
Coolers are assembled with drain tray (drain tray pipe Ø15 mm).
Maximum allowable fluid pressure for water heat exchangers – 21 bar. Minimum /
maximum fluid tem-perature – -21/130 °C.
Temperature difference between incoming fluid and outcoming air must be at least 3 °C.
Maximum allowable fluid pressure for freon heat exchangers – 42 bar. Minimum /
maximum fluid tem-perature – -20/80 °C.
Maximum recommended air flow velocity through heat exchanger – 3 m/s.
Attention Earthing must be installed according EN61557 BS 7671 !
Note : It is a must to mount the drainage siphon.

Intenal fluid temperature 80/60 ºC.
There are shown technical data of heat exchangers: capacity, air pressure
drop, hydraulic pressure drop at different air flows and parameters (cooling
capacities are calculated at 50 % relative humidity) in tables 1–4.
Weights, dimensions and dimensions of the connections of heat exchangers are
also specified.
INSTALLATION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
Unit is for indoor use only at temperature between +5 and +40°C. Coolers must
be installed in position that air flow direction would be horizontal.
In heat exchangers the water flow direction through the heat exchanger must
always be opposite to the air flow direction.
DH and DHCW heat exchangers are equipted with return water temperature sensor. It is mounted depending on fluid flow direction fig. 4b.
Heat exchangers should be carefully flushed out with water before the installation. DCF heat exchangers is filled with nitrogen gas which must be released through the valve.
Attention! When screwing fitting pipes on to the system, hold them with a tube wrench, as in Fig. 5a.
Attention!
Fig. 5a shows correct heat exchanger fitting pipe connection. Wherever
possible, heat exchanger pipes should be connected in such a way as to ensure
free access to pipe work for maintenance. When carrying out installation of
heat exchanger pipes, make sure that liquid (evaporative refrigerant) supply
is completely disconnected.
In fig. 5b shown sensor must be thermaly insulated. Sensor is connected to the controller terminals (see automatic control manual).
Before start-up of the air handling unit, working evaporative refrigerant
should be injected into the heat exchangers. The heat exchanger can be fill up
with water and 30 percent with ethylene glycol liquid.
The technical documentation of ethylene glycol liquid, make inquiries to
producers.
Never pour glycol down a drain; collect it in a receptacle and leave it at a recycling centre or the like. Glycol is highly dangerous to consume and can cause fatal poisoning or damage the kidneys. Contact a doctor! Avoid breathing glycol vapour in confined spaces. If you get glycol in your eyes, fush them thoroughly with water (for about 5 minutes).
CLEANING AND INSPECTION OF HEAT EXCHANGERS
The plates of heat exchangers and droplet eliminators should be cleaned
regulary to ensure the most effective heat exchange between the surface of
coil and the air flow passing through it.
Cleaning frequency should be set depending on air purity and in-line filters.
Always clean the heat exchanger against the regular direction of airfow. Make
sure that the coils are purged of air. If a droplet eliminator is fitted,
remove it and fush it clean with water. Also check that the condensate drain
is not clogged.
WATER TRAP INSTALLATION
The bend of the water trap can be repositioned by turning it to the right
or the left. The drain line from the water trap must be arranged so that it
will not damage adjacent unit sections or building elements. If the drain line
is run through cold spaces, it should be insulated to prevent freezing. A
heating cable may be required.
Water trap installation for a unit section mounted on the suction side
Since the fans in most air handling units are last in the chain of functions
and generate sub-atmospheric pressure inside the unit,it is very important to
correctly install the water trap. Because of that reason condensate can be
hardly eliminated from the air handling unit and the technical premise may get
covered with condensate. Height H1 must be at least equivalent in mm to half
of the negative pressure inside the unit in mm water gauge. Height H2 must be
at least equivalent in mm to the negative pressure inside the unit in mm water
gauge.
There is shown the principle scheme of correct drainage siphon installation in fig. 6.
Precaution
The drainage siphon should be mounted on the outlet fitting pipe of every drip
tray for complete condensate drainage from the air handling unit and
prevention of penetration of offensive odours from an effluent into the
ventilation system.
Water trap installation for a unit section mounted on the pressure side
Since the fans in most air handling units are not last in the chain of
functions and generate over-atmos-pheric pressure inside the cooling section.
In such case the consisted condensate can be easily removed from AHU and there
will be no strict requirements for siphon‘s installation. A drainage siphon is
enough with a minimum rake.
RECOMMENDATION : The drainage siphon must be installed in connection with
not less size pipe diameter.
