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 .
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 > 9C.
This subgroup includes units with 100% recirculation air, units connected to outdoor air for which the design outdoor temperature
during winter time > 9C or units with (pre-conditioned) inlet temperature > 9C 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 A to <E.
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 A to <E.
Ps-ext = active power supplied from the mains, including any motor control equipment, to selected extract air fan [kW]
Psup-ref = supply air fan reference power [kW]

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.
Coding G P 080 -
Digit 1 2 3 4
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.
Casing
Profile is important for the air handling units so much as the skeleton is important for the human body. Polyester powder painted
galvanized steel structure with a thickness of 1 mm is used in Carrier 39HQ air handling units.
Screw holes are pre-drilled in the supplier and painted afterwards.

4.5 Insulation
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
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.

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 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 Recovery Systems
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
8
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, coils can be supplied from other coil manufacturers based on business.
All water type coils manufactured are tested with the 30 bar pressurized air test in the water pool inside the factory. Test pressure
of DX coils vary as per refrigerant type.

fin thickness and interval, coil frame material etc.
Pipe material;
Copper or electro-tinned copper
Fin material
Aluminium, coated aluminium (polyester coated gold-fin) or copper (electro-tinned copper may also be selected if it is a
water type coil)
DX coils are used inside the air handling unit as indoor unit of the cooling circuit and in air handling units specified as packed
system as the outdoor unit. As the usage of VRF units have increased in the recent years, number of applications where VRF
outdoor unit and indoor unit with DX coil are used inside the air handling unit are increased.

Although humidifiers are classified with many different methods in different literature, they are categorized as follows by their
manufacturing methods as per EN 13053 standard:
Humidifier is one of the most important and critical components of the air handling unit. It is very important that length of hu-
midifier section is sized properly to prevent drift of water drops to the components after the humidifier. Also, the drain pan and
the draining of the water shall be considered with care as it is cell that contains water and steam.
Any of these different types may be applied inside the air handling unit according to the requirements and sensitivity of the
system during the project design stage.
