1. STANDARDS
Essential standards applied in Europe for air handling units are specified below:
• EN 1886: 2007
Ventilation for Buildings – Air Handling Units – Mechanical Performance
• EN 13053: 2006 + A1: 2011
Air Handling Units – Ratings and performance for units, components and sections
• EN 13779:
Ventilation for Non-Residential Buildings - Performance Requirements for Ventilation and Room-Conditioning Systems
• DIN 1946/4 - 2008:
Ventilation and Air Conditioning – Part 4: VAC Systems in Buildings and Rooms Used in the Health Care Sector
In the table, the class the standard construction model box GP080* complies with is marked in blue .
D3 N/A Yes -
In the table, the class the standard construction model box GP080* complies with is marked in blue .
Depending on the construction of the air handling unit and the nominal operating pressures air leakage is measured at the fol-
lowing test conditions:
• All sections at 400 Pa negative pressure, if there is only negative pressure in the unit
• Positive pressure sections at 700 Pa or higher positive pressure, if the operating pressure after the fan is higher than 250 Pa.
If the operating pressure that occurs is higher than 700 Pa, the positive pressure sections are tested under actual pressure
conditions. The permissible air leakage is linked to the filter class in the relevant casing section. The table below lists the air
leakage classes together with the associated filter classes.
The remaining sections are tested at 400 Pa negative pressure.
In the table, the class the standard construction model box GP080* complies with is marked in blue .
Filter bypass leakage refers to the total amount of unfiltered air after the filter section. The unfiltered air flow is the sum of:
• Air that passes the filter medium outside the filter section
• Air leakage through the walls of the sections after the filter, with negative pressure
Bypass leakage through the filter section is measured at a pressure difference of 400 Pa over the filter section, and filters are
sometimes replaced by dummy plates with an air tightness mechanism identical to the one of the filters.
The table below lists the total admissible bypass leakage k in % of the design air flow over the filters as a function of the built-in filter class.
The standard slide-in construction for filters, tested in a model box, is suitable for filter class F9.
In accordance with standard EN 1886, this is based on a face velocity of 2.5 m/s.
The thermal transmission of a model box is the average heat transfer coefficient of the construction in W x m-2 x K-1, referred
to the external surface.
The measurement is carried out with heat sources in the model box, where the total power input and the average temperature
difference between inside and outside is determined at a stable condition. Thermal transmission is the ratio between the total
power input and the internal/external surface temperatures times their surface area. Depending on the measured values the
construction has in one of the following classes:
The standard construction GP080* complies with class T2, and it is marked in blue in the table.
The thermal bridging factor of a model box is measured for the same set-up that is used to determine the heat transfer coeffi-
cient. At the stable condition the highest detectable surface temperature on the outside surface of the model box is measured.
The thermal bridging factor is the quotient of indoor air temperature minus highest surface temperature and the air temperature
difference between inside and outside.
The measured value is in one of the classes below and indicates if there is surface condensation or not. As the thermal bridging
factor increases, the possibility of condensation decreases.
The standard construction GP080* complies with class TB2, and it is marked in blue in the table.
Acoustic casing insulation, as defined by EN 1886, is the attenuation achieved by enclosing a noise source with a model box.
For this purpose the average sound pressure level of a noise source placed on the floor, is measured in an imaginary enclosing area.
The measurement is repeated in the same enclosing area, but with the noise source in the model box.
The difference in the measured sound pressure levels, divided into octave bands of 125 to 8000 Hz, is the attenuation of the
casing wall construction, including the doors and joint.
For the standard casing wall construction GP080*, the measured attenuation is shown in the table below:
1.2 Eurovent Energy Class Calculation Method in Air Handling Units – 2013
Energy supplied to the Air Handling Units (AHUs) may be divided in two main groups: thermal energy (for heating and cooling)
and electrical energy (for fans). Different levels for thermal energy consumption for heating are covered by the consideration of
the Heat Recovery System (HRS) efficiency. The climate dependency for the thermal energy consumption is considered and
the difference in primary energy between thermal energy and electrical energy is taken into account to evaluate the impact
of the pressure drops across the HRS . The thermal energy for cooling is not considered because it will have less impact
(negligible for most of Europe). Regarding electrical energy for fans, the method only accounts for the impact of the unit size
and efficiency of fan assembly. Other components (e.g. coils) are not individually covered (hence the total pressure increases
Standards
for fans are not considered) because there is a huge variation in the use of components in different AHU applications. The
major influencing factors; velocity, HRS pressure drop, overall static efficiency of the supply and/or the extract air fan and
efficiency of the electric motor(s), will give a good estimation of the used energy for fans. The classification, however, can not
be considered as a system energy label.

b. Recirculation units or units with design inlet temperatures always > 9°C.
• This subgroup includes units with 100% recirculation air, units connected to outdoor air for which the design outdoor temperature
during winter time > 9°C or units with (pre-conditioned) inlet temperature > 9°C emanating from a make-up air unit up-stream. This
subgroup will only consider the cross section velocity of the filter section and mains power consumption to the fan(s). The class signs
are AΝ to <EΜ.
c. Stand-alone extract air units
• Subgroup for pure extract air units (First reason to allocate an energy label to this kind of unit application is that they could include
heat recovery. Another reason is that the design outdoor temperature has no relevance for such units). This subgroup will only consi-
der the cross section velocity of the filter section and mains power consumption to the fan(s). The class signs are AΗ to <EΙ.

2. SELECTION SOFTWARE
2.1 Airovision Builder
Carrier 39HQ Airovision air handling unit has a very flexible structure as per its design. This flexibility manifests itself both in
dimensioning, as it consists of 160 mm imaginary modules, and in the use of any type of component inside it. It can meet any
type of expectations of the customers in very different markets as it is exported to 65 different countries in 5 continents.
While selecting an air handling unit, the position and arrangement of components and each cell inside the air handling unit are
very important both for reasons of cost and for ensuring the trouble-free operation of the device. Thus, the person making the
selection shall pay great attention in the placement of each cell and component. Airovision Builder software provides great ease
for the users in the placement of components inside the unit by allowing them to see the device and arrangement they have
chosen with the 3 dimensional drawings of all components in the launch screen.

4. BODY
The construction of the Carrier air handling units consists of a profile and panels. Profiled 1-mm thick casing sides of galvanised
and coated steel plates ensure a rigid and lightweight frame. The profile holds a 60-mm dual-skin casing wall with panels,
doors, inspection hatches and removable centre posts. The casing wall construction comes in several versions of steel plate
thicknesses, material types and insulation materials used. The internal plating is always 0.8 mm thick. The standard casing wall
construction GP080 consists of 0.8 mm internal and external plating with mineral wool (glass wool) in between.
The floor panel of the standard casing wall construction is made with isophenic (IPN) insulation for enhanced thermal
characteristics and the possibility to walk on it. Compared with PUR, IPN insulation has an increased insulation value and
improved fire resistance. Other advantages of IPN insulation are high pressure resistance and the possibility to walk on it.
As various markets have different requirements there are also versions with rock wool insulation and other panel thicknesses
and plate materials, such as stainless steel. The RR125 acoustic version has an additional acoustic plate in the internal panel
especially designed to efficiently dampen low-frequency sounds.

Panels of 39HQ air handling units are designed for easy removal and installation. As the panel and profiles are made of galvanized
steel, removal and installation of screws do not cause any kind of deformation on the panel or profile body. This is the main
advantage of using galvanized steel profiles against air handling units with aluminium profiles. Because the deformation of the
panel or the profile is one of the main elements that would endanger the sealing of the body.
Easily removable panels provides ease both during installation and maintenance and service in the field.
It provides benefits both in terms of hygiene and aesthetic by ensuring a smooth surface inside and outside the air handling units
without using any additional components.

IPN plates are installed in between to ensure strength even if the insulation type is selected as glass wool or rock wool.
Casing
Floor is made of IPN material that allows the possibility to walk on it.
Sealing strips are applied in panel connection places to minimize leakage through casing in all internal and external air handling
units as standard.
Sealing strips
39HQ air handling units are manufactured as cells as per their dimensions and then they may be assembled in the field. Cells are
connected from the inside on the field and no connection parts are seen from the outside in terms of aesthetics.
As per the size of the air handling unit and the area of the sectioning, connection parts may be triangular from the corners or
rectangular from the sides.
Connection strips are applied on the internal surface of air handling unit for extra sealing after assembly.
It is air-tight and maintains it's thermal performance because of it's connection method; and thus the surface of air handling unit
maintains it's smoothness.
4.9 Doors
Doors and intervention covers are important for accessing the components in case of any installation, service, maintenance or
repair work for any machine or air conditioning equipment. However, amongst all air conditioning devices, accessibility is most
important for air handling units in order to make an intervention inside the device. The reasons for this are the requirement for
assembling the modules in the field as it is built as modular; the fact that each component is in different cells and that access to
any component is very important in cases of maintenance and fault. Because it shall be easy to intervene for the maintenance,
cleaning and repair of all components as it conditions the air which is the most important requirement for human health. Both
in EN 13053 and DIN 1946/4 standards, one of the most emphasized points for hygiene in air handling units is the possibility of
easy access to each component in case of maintenance, cleaning and faults.
All doors in the 39HQ air handling units are composed of sandwich panels with a thickness of 60 mm as any other panel in the
unit. Thus the specifications of the body does not change whether a door or a cover is used.

6. INLET / OUTLET MIXING CELL AND DAMPERS
Dampers are used when it is required to adjust the flow rate of air or when the air flow is required to be turned off completely.
Rubber gaskets are used to provide sealing on damper blade ends.
It is possible make any selection for inlet and outlet cells with the flexibility as specified below.
• Opening:
» Front connection (full face, top face, mid face, bottom face)
» Right or left side connection (full opening, half opening)
» Top connection (full opening, half opening)
» Bottom connection (full opening, half opening)
• Material: Galvanized or aluminium damper
• Damper blades: Parallel or opposite blade
• Damper position: Inside or outside the unit
• In accordance with standard EN 13053, the velocity on the damper shall not exceed 8 m/s (excluding circulation and
bypass dampers).
• Dampers may be manufactured as painted as an option.
• The dampers have minimum Class 2 blade leakage class according to the EN 1751 standard and this class is
documented with a certificate obtained from an independent testing organization.

7. FILTERS
• Filters are divided into categories as per their particle permeabilities, material structures, intended uses and their placing
inside the air handling units.
• Filters are inserted to the air handling units either by sliding from the side by a door or sliding from the front.
Another filter type used for special applications in air handling units is the active carbon filters. Active carbon filters entrap and
retain gas molecules. Surface of the active carbon filters consists of millions of small pores. Many odorous and poisonous gases
are trapped by these pores.

8. HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS
• Heat recovery systems are used for pre-conditioning the fresh air by using the energy of the exhaust air (by reducing the
enthalpy of fresh air in summer time and increasing the enthalpy in winter time). Air thus pre-conditioned shall required
less heating/cooling for the required supplying temperature and therefore, energy recovery shall be achieved.
• There are many parameters such as initial investment cost, application type, sealing, efficiency, pressure drop, conditions
of interior and exterior air, fresh air ratio etc. for the selection of heat recovery type. Heat recovery systems in air handling
units are classified into 4 classes.

Exhaust air
Exhaust and fresh air never mix with each other in plate type heat recovery systems. These systems may be delivered with
bypass dampers as an option. Plate type heat recovery cell is equipped with a tray that covers whole it's floor, inside of whole
pan is covered with a special epoxy material and an outlet is provided from the bottom for draining. Although cross flow is used
usually for plate type systems, high efficiency systems with counter flow may also be used for systems with lower flow rate.
Multiple air ducts created by the fins allow heat transfer, thus heat recovery, between the extract air and intake air. Heat transfer
occurs between these two airs, there is no humidity transfer. Extract air and intake air passes crosswise through the exchanger.
The fact that the positions of intake air and extract air are close to each other, that these airs mix with each other at a low rate,
and that it does not have a moving part are typical features of this system.

Initial investment cost and efficiency of round around coil type heat recovery systems are lower than the other systems. As it is
composed of completely separated coils, it shall not be placed inside the same cell or on top of each other. Another advantage
is that the exhaust and the fresh air do not mix.
It provides heat transfer, thus heat recovery, between the exhaust air and fresh air with two or more coils, a circulation pump and
a control system. It is a heat exchanger of the sensible type. Heat transfer occurs between two airs, there is no humidity transfer.
The positions of fresh air and exhaust air may be away from each other; the fact that these airs do not mix with each other and
that it does not have a moving part are typical features of this system.
Heat pipe type heat recovery systems are divided into two as horizontal/vertical type heat pipe and horse shoe heat pipe type
heat recovery systems. Heat pipe systems usually include refrigerant instead of water inside the pipes as similar to the coil type
systems.
Condensate
Evaporation
This is a typical pipe / fin exchanger that is composed of two sections that operate as a condenser and an evaporator and
that has proper amount of refrigerant inside. Air, of which it's heat shall be extracted, is taken through the evaporator side
and it's heat is transferred to the refrigerant. Vaporized refrigerant transfers it's heat to the cold air passing outside of the
exchanger on the condenser which is placed higher, and thus heat is transferred to the cold air and heat recovery is ensured.
It is of the sensible type, heat transfer occurs between two airs, there is no humidity transfer.
Horse shoe heat pipe type heat recovery exchangers are heat pipe types that are used for dehumidification operations in air
conditioning systems. It performs pre-cooling of the air that shall be dehumidified and and reheating of this air with the energy
taken. Thus, energy consumption is not required for both processes.

9. COILS
Heat exchangers used for heating, cooling and/or dehumidifying the air in HVAC systems are usually of the finned pipe type and
they are called as coils. Air to be conditioned that flows outside of the finned pipes contact the fin surface. A heating or cooling
fluid is circulated inside the pipes. Coils may be hot water coils, cold water coils, DX coils and vapor coils. As Alarko Carrier, we
manufacture the water and DX coils used in our air handling
units and rooftop units in our own coil workshop. Besides that, Coil Test Operating

In the air handling unit with a heat recovery system comprised of two coils, one on fresh air and one on exhaust air, shall be used.
It shall be designed with the fresh air side and exhaust air side completely separated preventing any air mixture.
The coils shall be manufactured from copper pipe and aluminum fins. The run around coils shall be selected so that the heat
recovery efficiency is at least 40%. The capacity accuracy of the coils shall be verified with a selection program. The headers shall
be manufactured from steel materials and painted with epoxy based wet paint. Optionally the headers may be manufactured
from copper material.
The water-glycol mixture shall be transferred between two coils with a circulation pump. The pump, piping and accessories shall
be supplied and assembled at the site by the contractor. The face velocity of the coils shall not exceed 3.2 m/s. When the air
velocity is more than 2.5 m/s, a droplet eliminator shall be used after the cooling coil to prevent water carry over. The eliminators
shall be manufactured from polypropylene material resistant to 120 ºC.
Copper pipes according to the features specified in ASTM B 68M and EN 12735 shall be used in the cooling coils. The copper
pipes shall be mechanically expanded for conducting heat to aluminum fins with TS EN 573–3 EN AW 8006 feature.
The coil frames shall be manufactured from galvanized steel material. Optionally the frames may be made of stainless steel.
Bypass sheet metal shall be used to cover the section between the unit inner surfaces and the coil frame to prevent air bypass
around the coils.
The coils shall be opposite flow and the water inlets shall be from bottom and outlets shall be from top.
Gaskets shall be used to seal the pipe inlets and outlets to the air handling unit.
The pipe connection on the coils shall be threaded type. Optionally they can be supplied with flange and opposite flange.
The coils shall be able to operate between at 4-16 bar coil pressure. Coils shall be tested after production in a pool of water with
30 bar pressure.
The pressure drop on the water side of the coils shall not exceed 50 kPa.
The wet condition shall be taken into account when calculating the air side pressure drops of coils.
There shall be sloped drain pan with bottom insulation made of stainless steel sheet metal under the cooling coil that completely
encloses cooling coil including eliminator section. The air handling unit’s 60 mm insulated double skinned panel shall also
be used in the bottom panel of the cooling coil to meet the unit’s endurance, thermal performance and thermal bridging
requirements. Designs in which the drain pan is used in place of the unit bottom panel are not acceptable. A siphon that can
form an air tight water trap and constantly make sure that the condensed water is drained shall be supplied with the unit. The
siphon that is provided must be capable of adapting to the negative or positive pressure operation conditions in the coil cell and
must be a siphon with a ball.
The sound attenuator splitters shall be installed inside the unit. The sound attenuation levels shall not be lower than the requested
values for each octave band.
The sound attenuator splitters shall be in rectangular prism form designed and produced according to the ISO 7235 standard.
The sound attenuator splitter gaps and installations shall be in accordance with sound attenuation principles preventing
deformation.
The sound attenuation sections shall be made of inorganic, inflammable mineral wool that complies with the DIN 4102 Class
A-1 flame spreading conditions and shall be coated with a substance that is moisture and corrosion resistant. This will prevent
corrosion even when the velocity is 20 m/s between the splitters. The sound attenuator section pressure drop shall be 50 Pa at
the most.
Optionally the surfaces can be perforated plate to increase sound attenuation.
UVC lamp shall be used in the air handling unit to kill very small microorganisms that cannot be held by the filters but can harm
human health. After the cooling coils a cell 320 mm or 480 mm long shall be placed for the UVC lamps and a sufficient number
of lamps will be installed in the cell at the manufacturer. If the UVC lamp cell cannot be accessed from the front or back cell, a
door shall be provided. The electrical supply of the UVC lamp shall be completed at the site by the contractor.
