AHU thickness Product Origin Unit Construction: AHU frame

Europe Chinese kit assembled in UAE with Certificate of Origin Poland. Casing shall be supported Construction is non-skeleton, without Pentapost Frame & therefore strength & rigidity of panels are weak. with self-supporting Its also causes drumming effect.Panel is made just by bending one long preinsulated 40mm thick double modular panel element skin GI sheet at 90 degrees and form shape( three sides of an AHU, bottom ,one side wall & Top. with integrated base The remaining 4th wall becomes Access side ) and to form this channel shape , cut inner sheet metal at frame. two points along the length and chisel inner corner at 45 degrees and bend with the help of remaining outer sheet to achieve the channel shape. This produces actually fragile unit. Beside lack of mechanical strength, the improper sealing of the insulation at corner joint, unit can face the moisture condensation at the outer casing/surface of the AHU. Removable panels from all Panels can be removable from only one side. Major deviation. sides

It has to be made from the metallic profiles such as Aluminium to give robust structure and thermal break to the AHUs. The role of these metallic profiles/skeleton in AHU is similar to the bones in the human body. This is followed by Major AU supplier Carrier, Trane, McQuay, York

AHU panel

Panels should be removable form all 6 side because of easy maintained and load of Cooling coil, fan, and filter should e on pentapost casing and not the panel itself.

Cooling coil

copper tube with Continuous Aluminum fin

a) The fins of the coils is not continuous type, i.e. fins starting from 1st row of the cooling coil to the 4th or 6th or 8th or 10th or 12th row is not made from single sheet and has break. It in the module of two rows coil put together to form 4th or 6th or 8th or 10th or 12th numbers of rows. b) The chilled water Inlet to the coil must be at the bottom header and outlet at the top. It should maintain counter flow between air & water to achieve the lowest possible air temperature leaving the coil. In VTS clime case it is other way around.

It should maintain counter flow between air & water to achieve the lowest possible air temperature leaving the coil. Max face velocity acceptable is 500 for FAHU and 550 for AHUs

Coil velocity

face 500 FPM

Normally-780 FPM (Lead to moisture carry over in most sites) Air face velocity is increased to reduce the size (cross section of unit-Height x width) and offer small size unit with high air velocity which not recommended.

Access doors

Provision on both side

Provision on one side due to limitation of construction.

Maintenance limitation

Fan

Centrifugal fan Double Single Intel Single width (SISW) Plug fan without casing (Can lead to very high pressure on AHU casing If possible, use DIDW fans instead of Plug fans as DIDW fans are more inlet double width(DIDW) which will reduce the life of equipment. Due to high RPM the noise of fan is more. Major Daviation energy efficient. DIDW fans consume less power for the same

airflow/static if compared with the plug fans. Plug fans has to run at higher rpm due to its Single Inlet when compared with DIDW fans for same airflow and other parameter.
10 Vibration Isolators under fan motor assembly Type of drive Spring Isolators of 2 deflection Rubber Isolators of 1 deflection Less noise absorption result in more vibration.
