2. APPLICATION AND DESIGN

The 14-size product line is designed for air handling processes in range of capacity from 1200 m3/h
to 100 000 m3/h - in case of remaining AHUs. The VENTUS air-handling units are designed for a
ventilation system where an access to the rotating parts of the unit (a fan’s rotor) is feasible neither
from the overpressure nor sub atmospheric pressure side of the unit. The ventilation system is
understood as ventilating ducts as well as e.g.: air intake and air exhaust modules in case of the units
installed outdoor.

The VENTUS AHUs from size range VVS 21-650 are delivered as fully assembled,
assembled in sections or in packages, placed on closed palettes, containing elements to
be assembled on- site by the Authorized VTS Service. This manual does not contain
instructions and guidelines on assembly of the unit.

Delivery of AHUs elements, in the closed, properly marked and not broken palettes is
going to belong to customer after signing of consignment note by client representative.

Open of closed palettes by customer before arrival of Authorized VTS Service is connect
with take-over of full responsibility for contents and completeness of delivery.

Right after delivery of the unit check the condition of the package and examine if all
necessary elements have been delivered - according to the attached specification and
consignment note.

Unloading packages with AHU subassemblies, transport of the packages to the assembly
location and transport of AHU blocks and elements to the assembly location should be
carried out using special equipment and qualified staff.

Packages onsite must be stored on hardened, dry and protected against any precipitation
place. Hardened surfaces are understood as flat, leveled and hard surface, which does
not change its properties under influence of atmospheric conditions

Packages containing AHU elements should be stored away from places where operate
mechanical devices (vehicles, cranes and other construction machinery). They should be
stored in places where they will not be subject to any mechanical damages, humidity,
aggressive chemical agents, fluids, dusts and other external agents which may
deteriorate their condition.

Unloading pallets from means of transport and transporting them to the AHU’s assembly site should
be performed with the use of a fork lift or crane.
A possibility of transporting assembled AHUs is determined in Table 2.

 4. FOUNDATION, ASSEMBLY, CONNECTION OF UNIT-
RELATED SYSTEMS
4.1 AHUs supplied in sections
Sections connection is out of the standard offer of VTS. It is possible to purchase
additional option to connect to the section by Authorized Service VTS.

When the customer connect the section himself should follow the separate instructions,
supplied with AHU in the mounting set.

During connecting the section one should pay attention on the applying glue on the
casing locks (section connection without using glue will result in a lack of casing
tightness - warranty claims because of this will not be considered).

Optionally, in the mounting set provided with AHU can be included butyl tape, to
additional seal the connection of section. Additional seal at the connection of section is
recommended especially for the external AHUs

4.2 AHUs supplied in packages - for assembly on site

Assembly must be carried out on hardened and dry surface. Hardened surfaces are
understood as flat, leveled and hard surface, which does not change its properties under
influence of atmospheric conditions and is resistant to any damages relating to placing
the AHU on it as well as regular operation.

Assembly can be carried out in ambient temperature allowing to perform correctly all
technical procedures of the assembly, i.e. within temperature range: from +5 to +35ºC

In case of outdoor assembly, the procedure can be carried out in precipitation-free

conditions.

It is acceptable to start the assembly provided that all safety and security requirements
are met.

Minimal dimensions of an assembly location:

- AHU width + 4 meters (2 meters on each AHU side),
- AHU length + 4 meters (2 meters on each AHU side).

Connecting supplied blocks of VVS 21-650 units as well as holding AHU to the
foundation, falls within the competence of the Client.

4.3 Ambient conditions for AHUs installation

The Ventus air-handling can be installed as well as inside the building as the outside (except the unit
with the humidity sections). Units can be installed and work on the external air with temperature from
-40°C to +60°C.

AHUs installed outside the building should be equipped with air intake and outlet equipment.

The unit operated outdoor should be regularly cleaned from the snow. Such units should have barrier
for protect against the snow, and base frame should be placed on the level not lower than height of
snow level in that region.

In condition of the low temperatures, increase the heat lost, what can needs more reserve of the
heating capacity of the heaters. The heat node of the heating capacity regulation, three way valves,
water pumps, thermo-manometers, valves, as well as frequency converters should be placed in the
room with temperature higher than +5°C.

 If the unit operate with the low inlet temperature of the air it is recommended to use the mixture of
the glycol (up to 45%) as the heating medium. All installation pipes of the water heating, condensate
drying, hydraulic valves should be well isolated. The best is use the pre-heater before the heat
recovery section.

The air damper actuators should be protected from the atmospheric conditions. If the outdoor
temperature is lower than -20°C, the air dampers actuators must be equipped with heating. All
equipment and components operating outside the unit must have the required IP.

Units, periodically stopped during periods of low outdoor temperatures, require special attention.

They should be equipped with an automation system, that supports the flow of the liquid through
water heaters to prevent it from freezing during AHU downtime. If it is possible that temperature in
the fan section fall below -30°C or lower, the sections should be equipped with an internal heating
system to ensure reliable start of the motors after shutdown and downtime.

 4.6 Place of foundation
The AHU should be installed so that connections of any related systems (ventilation ducts, pipelines,
cabling, etc.) do not collide with the inspection panels.
It is forbidden to place any elements on the AHU as well as use the AHU as a support
of ventilation ducts and other building components.
In order to carry out the assembly, operation and maintenance successfully, please keep minimum
recommended distance (fig.9) between the front side and existing construction elements (walls,
pillars, pipelines, etc.).
In compact AHUs where the exchangers’ pins are led to the side opposite to the
access side an appropriate distance required for proper assembly of the power supply
installation elements should be maintained.
This is possible to install other systems, pipelines, pillars in the operation area only if they can be
easily disassembled for the maintenance and service procedures.

Fig.9. Free space in the front area - the VVS 21-650 AHU

4.7 Connecting the ventilation ducts

The ventilation ducts should be connected to the AHU with the flexible connections (optional
accessory) which suppress vibrations of the unit and level the coaxial deflection of the duct and the
AHU outlets. Flexible connections are equipped with flanges with sealing. The flexible flanges
should be connect with ducts with using drilling screws (Fig.10a) or additional clamping elements
(Fig. 10b). Materials to connect ducts are not supplied as standard delivery.
Appropriate operation of the flexible connection occurs if it is stretched to about 110 mm.
The ducts connected to the AHU have to be suspended or underpinned with dedicated support
elements. Conducting the ducts with the fittings should be done in a way to eliminate possible
increase of noise level in the ventilation system.

 Fig.10. Duct’s connection rules

4.8 Connection of heaters and coolers

Connection of the exchangers should be carried out so as not to allow for stresses which may
result in mechanical damages or leakage. The pipeline weight and thermal stresses cannot be
passed onto the exchanger's connections. Depending on a local conditions please use the
compensation at the supply and return of the pipeline system, in order to level the pipeline's linear
expansion. During assembly of the supply system to the exchangers equipped with the screwed
connections, counter the exchanger's connection with additional wrench (fig.11).

The supply system should be planned so as it does not collide with the other AHU sections. Applied
method of connecting the exchangers with the supply system should allow for an easy pipeline
disassemble in order to remove the exchanger from the AHU, during maintenance and service
operations.

Freon coolers regardless their rated diameter are equipped with copper connections adapted for hard soldering.

Supply and return exchanger connections should be connected so as the exchanger operates in a
counter- current way. Streamwise operation results in lower average temperature difference,
influencing the exchanger’s performance.

In the AHUs sizes VVS 400-650 the water heat exchanger is divided for two coils. The
supply of these exchangers should be done in parallel
Note! Maximum operating pressure of the medium for water coils is 16 bar, tested
pressure – 21 bar.

AHUs VVS 21-650 can be provided with evaporative humidifier. Evaporative humidifier works on the
principle transmission of humidity by evaporation of water from the trickling pad into the air flow.
Humidify of this type is characterized by high efficiency and reliability.
Depending on the size of AHU, the used humidifiers will work on the water direct supplied (VVS-21-
55) and circulation (VVS 75-650).

Connection for the water supply and water drainage should be done without mechanical stresses
which might result in mechanical damages or leakage. Each humidifying unit is assembled with
necessary external piping and tested for water tightness prior to delivery.
The supply system should provide normal quality tap water without excessive deposits of dirt and
other particles which could lead to excessive dust build-up on the surface of humidifying pads.
Evaporative humidifiers don't require any special water treatment before feeding the device.
Nevertheless a cut- off ball valve and strainer-type filtering device accessible for cleaning should be
installed on the supply piping (not included in delivery).
AHUs with humidifiers are supplied with a control cabinet to be installed outside the AHU. Control
box installation site must be protected from weather and to ensure temperature in the range from 5°C
to 40°C.
Direct drain humidifiers connect directly to the cabinet with a using a high pressure nylon hose
Ø10mm (supplied with a humidifier). To connect use the supplied Ø10 coupling. Make a hole in the
panel for the crossing humidifier supply pipe. Pipe in the hole protect with a header glands.
In the similar way connect water supply to the control cabinet.
If necessary, the pipe between the humidifier and control cabinet can be extended but not more than
5m.
For the humidifier with water circulating VVS 75-650 powering-water should be connected to the

Direct drain humidifier is simplified compact construction for limited space in the AHU. Supply water
feeds the humidifying pad from the top and the excessive water falls to the draining pan and goes
directly out of the AHU.
Water supply is controlled by means of solenoid valve installed in the control cabinet (included in the
delivery).
Circulating humidifier relies on the circulating pump which sits in water tank and feeds water to the
humidifying pad. Excessive water falls to the tank and is used again to feed the pad. Due to
evaporation, water level decreases and activates the floating valve, which controls the water supply.

VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice

 Side effect of evaporation is rising concentration of contaminants in the water tank. To control that
process, two motorized valves operated by control cabinet cut off the water supply and fully drain the
tank. After that the valves switch-over and the humidifier starts operation again with clean water.

Note! For guidelines regarding the water draining, follow the same rules like for drain pans
of the heat exchangers, which are described in the next chapter.

Setting the time (period) of drainage of the humidifier water tray.

In the control cabinet is placed a special pin switch (TX1) and slide switch:

Combination of the switching the switches gives different time of tray draining, see the table below

To ensure that the water in the tray is kept clean it is recommended that it is drained and flushed
once every 24 hours.

4.10 Draining out condensate

The outlet condensate connections, led outside the AHU's casing are assembled in the drain plates
of glycol, cross-flow and rotary exchangers (the diameter of drain pan connection pipe is 32mm).

The units with counter-flow heat exchanger in sizes VVS 21-55, are equipped with plastic
extension pipe which should be installed on the drain pan connection to drain condensate
outside the unit.

Siphons, which are designed to drain out condensed water from the exchangers at different pressure
of the section and environment, should be connected to the drain connections.

VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice

Ventus Air Handling Units
26
 For proper drainage of condensate from the unit, the siphon on the drain pan connection pipe must
be installed in the AHU sections, where negative pressure occurs. Drain siphons or siphon parts are
not supplied as standard delivery. There is no need to apply drain siphons in section with
overpressure. In order to minimize air blow-by, you can use a siphon on the system draining out
condensate, assembling the siphon made in accordance with fig.16a and table 8.
Siphons usable „H" height depends on the pressure difference between the AHU section, where
condensate is drained from during operation and the ambient pressure. „H" dimension is provided in
mm and must be higher than the pressure difference expressed in mmH2O.

Due to various pressure difference values which are present in various AHU sections
during operation it is not allowable to connect several condensate outlets into one
siphon.

It is allowable to join together siphons of various sections with one drain interceptor provided that
the interceptor will be equipped with air-escape. Before starting the AHU, fill the siphon with water.
In case of cold environment, insulate the water drain system and eventually apply suitable heating
system.

4.11 Electric connection

Connection of electric AHU elements should be carried out by qualified personnel and should be
done in accordance with any standards and regulations being in force in a country where the unit is
installed. Cross- section and type of cables (e.g. shielded cable) feeding individual functional
segments should be selected basing on nominal current and specific operation conditions (e.g.
ambient temperature, way of cabling, distance from the power supply).

Before starting connecting power supply, check conformity of the voltage and frequency of a supply
network with the data shown on the device's rating plate. Permissible fluctuation of the supply
voltage and its frequency to the values shown on the rating plate is ±5%. If discrepancy exists, the
device cannot be connected.

 4.11.1 Rotary exchanger

Drive unit drives the rotary exchanger. It consists of a motoreducer (squirrel-cage motor + worm
gear) and frequency converter. Control system is adapted for connecting a standard 0-10V control
signal and for operation in the RS485 network with the Modbus protocol. Frequency converter is
powered with 1-phase alternating voltage 1x230V/50Hz. Any electric connections and configuration
of the rotary exchange drive unit should be done in accordance with guidelines from „Operation
manual of rotary exchanger's drive unit”.
4.11.2 Evaporative humidifier
Evaporative humidifiers are equipped with control cabinets that operate the components of
the humidifier and provide basic functionality and safety of operation (e.g. dry-running
protection for pump).

Note! Those control cabinets do not measure or regulate humidity. Control signal to
enable the humidification (On/Off) must be worked out by another external regulator.

4.11.3 Electric Heater

Electric heater supply wiring should be let through the fixed panel, at the AHU's back. If the wiring is
led through the inspection panel, on the front side, then it should be arranged so as to enable
opening the section for maintenance and service operations.
Connecting power supply to the heater with control module should be done directly in the heater
section, according to the guidelines of the module operation and maintenance manual.
Connection of the heater should be done in a way to prevent from possibility of switching on the
heater when the fan is not switched on. What is more, if the fan stops, the heater's power supply
must be turned off as well.

The thermostat must be absolutely installed in the heater control system.

Thermostat functionality is based on the bimetal element properties, resulting in opening the heater
control circuit contacts at air temperature near the thermostat up to 65ºC. After emergency turn off,
the heater turns on automatically once the air temperature goes down by 20ºC. After intended or
emergency (caused by overheating) turning off the power supply, the supply-air fan has to operate
for some time (0.5-5 min), so as the heater's coils reached their normal temperature.
All electric connections and configuration of the heater's control should be done in accordance with
the guidelines of the OMM HE SEC.

Ahus are equipped with the fans with the modern and high-performance EC motors. IP protection
class of the motors with the controller is 44. The own electronics of the protect them against the
overload, phase fail/lose, under and over voltage and phase over current.
The motor can be started by means of digital commands, bus commands, references or local start
command whenever the drive is connected to the AC line.
From the motor are leads cables ended with molex (Fig.21).
VVS 21-30 with motor higher than 0,75kW and VVS 40-650 AHUs
Fans' motors are adapted to operation in dusty and humid environment (IP55) and their insulation (F-
class) is adapted to cooperation with the frequency converter. No additional means inuring the motor
against conditions of the AHU fans' section are required.
Motors used in our AHUs are by default motors with their own cooling system and with fans built into
a shaft. Supply cabling must be led to the fan's motor via rubber passes located in the back panel of
the AHU casing.
Caution! This is not permissible to lead supply wiring through the inspection panel

Intermediate fan drive

Fans' motors with belt drive are powered by 3x400V/50Hz voltage. The connection should be done
through the overload and short-circuit protection suitable for rated current of the motor.
Attention: Fan motors with the power of 4kW can be started directly. Motors with the
power of 5.5 kW and more should be started in a ‚star - triangle’ start-up system.
Direct fan drive
Direct driven fan EC motors are powered with 1x230V single-phase voltage. AC motors with power
up to 2.2 kW are powered with 3x230V voltage from frequency converters powered with 1x230V
single-phase voltage. Motors with higher powers are powered with 3x400V voltage with the
cooperation with frequency converters powered by 3x400V three-phase system.
Attention: before connecting the fan set one should check carefully the rated
parameters of both power supply and the converter’s output.
One should connect the fan set by means of fault protection appropriate for the applied frequency
converter. In the case of use EC motors or AC motors powering with the use of a converter it is not
necessary to connect the motor’s PTC protection.
Overload protection is realized on the frequency converter by means of activating specified
parameters and introducing the motor’s rated data in accordance with the manual provided together
with the frequency converter.
Attention: In fan sections equipped with more than one fan synchronous operation of
fans should be ensured.
The fan control system should be prepared in such a way so as to provide
simultaneous start- up, rotary speed control and stoppage.
In case of a breakdown and stoppage of one fan the fan set does not fulfil its function
and should be disabled.

Attention! In the inspection door of the fan section is installed limit switch, which cause
the fan to stop in case of unauthorized opening of the door. The switch must be
connected to the frequency converter, accordance with the wiring diagram attached in
the separate manual: "Control and Modbus communication - appendix to the manual of
LG iC5 and iG5A frequency converters".
In case of powering the motor from a frequency converter, high-frequency currents or voltage
harmonic components in wiring powering the motor can generate some electromagnetic
interferences. Connection between the frequency converter and motor should be done using
shielded cables, in accordance with guidelines outlined in the operation and maintenance manual of
the frequency converter.

4.11.5 Air Dampers

Air dampers applied in VVS 400-650 AHUs are equipped with two separate pins as standard,
they should be propelled with two actuators. Propulsion of the above mentioned air
dampers based on a single actuator (regardless of its maximum torque) can result in
inappropriate operation of the damper. In the case of AHUs equipped with water heat
exchangers (heaters, coolers, glycol recovery) air damper’s actuators of supply units should
be equipped with a return spring ensuring its spontaneous closure in case of power cut.

4.11.6 Automatic control

Complete automatic control which should be an integral part of each air-conditioning system, enables
continuous operation of a device, in many cases it is an indispensable element and lack of it may
lead to serious operational problems or failures.

This documentation does not cover information regarding assembly of automatics, connection,
starting-up and operation of the system.

This information can be found in separate documents supplied by VTS with the automatics set. In
other cases appropriate information and documentation should be provided by the automatics
supplier.

The AHU can only be operated with assembled filters.

Before closing the filtration section please make sure to:

- remove protective foil from filters,
- assemble filters in their slideways so as the bag were in vertical position,
- check filters' condition and leaktightness of fitting in the slideways,
- check settings of differential pressure controls (if they are applied) which
determine permissible static pressure difference qualifying a filter for

6. START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT

The start-up is going to test if the AHU is made in accordance with the design and is ready for
operation.

Start up and ventilation/air-conditioning systems adjustment can be done only by qualified and
competent start- up personnel, equipped with necessary test devices.
After completing activities described in point 5 you can proceed with the first start-up. In case of
AHUs equipped with secondary filtration section it is recommended to start up the system without the
secondary filter insert.
The fan should be started with lower load and lead towards parameters similar to the operational
ones. Lower load can be achieved by pushing the damper to on the AHU inlet and additionally, in
case of powering the motor through the frequency converter, by lowering the rotation speed.

During increasing the load, check all the time current consumed by the motor.

Always make sure that for designed air parameters current intensity powering the fan's
motor cannot exceed the rated value.

Ignoring recommendations concerning the first start-up can lead to motor's overload
and durable damage to the motor.

After start-up check if:

- there are no suspicious noises and unnatural mechanical sounds,
- there are no considerable AHU vibrations.

The AHU should operate for about 30 minutes. After that time turn it off and inspect individual
sections. Pay utmost attention to:
- filters (if they are not damaged),
- condensate drain-out,
- fan unit (belt tension, fans and motors' bearing temperature).

It is recommended to ensure a preliminary opening of damper on AHU inlet in the

automatics system before starting up the fan (standard of VTS automatics). It has some
impact on the damper durability and operation and eliminates activation of pressure
control.

After starting up the AHU replace or clean the preliminary filters.

Achieving required performance of the AHU depends, among the others, on carried out adjustment
and test measurements.

6.1 Measurement of air quantity and AHU output adjustment.

Measurement of air quantity is a primary measurement in case of:
- AHU start-up and technical acceptance,
- when the system does not operate in line with the requirements and expectations,
- periodic control of AHU operation and performance,
- replacement of fan unit elements.
Before starting measurements and adjustment make sure to:
- check if damper at all air grates or registers are adjusted in line with the design.
- set fresh- and recycled-air dampers (if applicable) in end position - 100% of fresh air or full
recirculation,
- measure the current consumed by the fan's motor. If it is necessary minimize the air flow with the
main damper or reduce the fan rotation speed.

Determining quantitative air stream is based on the measurement of average air-flow speed in the

VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice

Ventus Air Handling Units
36
 ventilation duct test cross-section. One of the most common ways of determining average speed is
the cross-section probing method with the Prandtla pipe and measurement of the speed-related
average dynamic pressure.
Crucial factors influencing the measurement accuracy are:
- location of the measured cross-section in relation to the elements,
- quantity and location of test points in the measured cross-section,
- stable and constant air flow.
It is highly recommended NOT to locate the measurement cross-section directly after:
- network elements causing deformation of velocity speed (knees, reductions, three-way
connections, dampers, etc.), fan, because in the cross-section some reverse speed may appear.
The measurement should be carried out at the duct's fragment with parallel walls and straight
segments at least 6 times longer than the duct diameter or equivalent diameters before the test point
and not less than 3 diameters after it. In the real ventilation system finding such a long straight
fragment can be a problem. In such a case determine the measurement cross-section in a place
where the smallest distortions of air-flow are expected and intensify a network of test points. Location
of the measurement cross-section should be determined on the system design stage. Detailed
recommendations concerning air-flow measurement and location of test points are defined by the
ISO 5221 standard.

We estimate the output being measured as sufficient unless it differs more than ±10% from the
designed one. In case of bigger disproportions, the output alike the designed one can be achieved
by:
- adjustment of the ventilation ducts network,
- changing adjustment of the main damper,
- changing the fan rotary speed.

While increasing fan's rotary speed you must by all means control motor's power consumption and
do not allow to exceed designed rated current value. For durability and permissible operation
parameters it is also very important not to exceed maximal rotor speed. In justified situations, when
there is a need to increase the air-flow output, it is recommended to apply a more powerful fan's
motor.

In systems equipped with dampers which automatically change ratio of fresh, recycled and
exhausted air or by-pass flow ratio, output measurements and main damper adjustment should be
carried out in end position of the setting. Next check the air ratio and overall output in the other end
position and, if necessary, carry out appropriate adjustment in order to achieve proper ration at
constant overall output.

6.2 Heat output adjustment of water heater

Heater output adjustment is proceeded by setting appropriate amount of air passing through the
AHU.

Heater output adjustment consists in checking the heater's performance from the air's side through
temperature measurements in front and behind the heater, at designed supply and return
temperature values and amount of heating medium in the system.

Heater's output is controlled by adjustment of water supply temperature. It is achieved by mixing up

in the three- way valve supply water with high temperature and water coming back from the heater,
with lower temperature. Once mixed, water getting to the heater reaches appropriate temperature -
depending on the mixing level.

External conditions, similar to the rated ones occur within an annual cycle during relatively short
period. In most cases you have to take into consideration the fact that the adjustment must be carried
out in intermediate conditions, which must be recalculated in order to conform to the rated values.

Checking operation of the anti-frost thermostat is possible only when temperature of air supplied
onto the exchanger is lower than the thermostat setting (factory setting: +50C). It is safe to carry out
this activity when the supply air temperature is 1-2 degree above 0ºC. Then, when the AHU is
running, cut for a moment the inflow of heating medium and watch if the thermostat is triggered. This
operation should be carried out before putting the AHU into service.

 6.3 Adjustment of electric heater

Power adjustment of electric heater is carried out in most cases by means of turning off individual
group of heating coils. Multistage control (table.8) is carried out through connecting specific heating
coils with each other. Smooth control of heater power is carried out by applying the VTS control
module.

Perform simulation of lower power requirement by decreasing the set temperature value so as all
electric steps (contactors) were in off position. Next increase significantly the setting and check if all
electric steps turn on in the order in accordance with the operation description. Restore the previous
temperature setting.

Also check operation of overheating protection in case of lack of air-flow. To do so, reduce the air-
flow stream
flowing through the heater by pushing to the inlet damper or by reducing the fan's speed.

During AHU operation speed of air flowing through the heater should not be lower than 1.5
m/sec.

Please note that the lower air-flow is the more possible it is to overheat the system.

Bringing AHU to a standstill must involve some delay (0.5-5 minutes), so as to cool down heating
coils of the electric heater.

6.4 Adjustment of cooler performance

Adjustment of cooler performance should be carried out in conditions similar to the rated ones. As in
case of the heater, the effect from the air side is considered, including temperature and humidity in
front and behind the cooler.

Temperature of cooling agent is controlled this way as well. If cooler operation effect is not
satisfactory, appropriate adjustment is required. It can be carried out using the following methods:
- adjustment of cooling medium amount (water coolers),
- adjustment of air amount passing through the AHU (water cooler and coolers with direct medium
evaporation),
- adjustment through changing evaporation temperature (in case of systems with direct evaporation).

Coolers operate in most cases in complex air-conditioning systems equipped with automatic control.
Automatic control devices should be tested not only in extreme conditions but also in intermediate
cooler load circumstances.

 6.5 Adjustment of humidifier

To the humidifier the water flow should be adjusted. Water consumption must be adjusted for a
specific AHU, so that the pad will clearly wet on the entire surface.

Table 11 shows the minimum water flow rate for totally wetted surface of humidifier for standard
work point:
- air inlet temperature 40°C
- relative humidity 15%
air velosity in the humidifier pad 2,5m/s

7. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Personnel in charge of AHU operation should read through this documentation before
starting any operation and maintenance activities. When no such personnel with
appropriate skills and competence is available, periodic inspections should be carried
out by the authorized VTS service providers.

Any damages of the AHU or its parts resulting from not following the guidelines stated
in this documentation will not be subject to warranty claims.

Basic AHU technical data such as type, parameters and dimensions of the most significant parts
(filters, heat exchangers, fans, electric motors) are provided in the Technical Data Card supplied with
each device.

Any AHU maintenance operations should be carried out with the device turned off.
In order to ensure safe device operation, a service switch cutting off power supply to
the motor during service operation must be installed outside the fan section. Switching
off the power circuit with the service switch must be held in non-voltage state. The
service switch should be located close to the inspection panels of the fan section.
Thorough and regular maintenance as well as technical inspections of the AHU and its components
are necessary in order to find the failures at their early stage - before more serious damages appear.
This documentation only covers general guidelines regarding control periods ensuring error-free
operation of the AHU due to various possible external conditions of AHU operation. Control periods
must be adapted to local conditions (contamination, number of start-up cycles, load, etc.).
Personnel in charge of the AHU should from the first AHU start-up keep up-to-date records making
use of the "Inspections and maintenance table" which is Included in the Warranty Card. Any routine
works related to the AHU operations should be recorder there. Carefully kept register is the only

VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice

Ventus Air Handling Units
39
 reliable document stating the unit operation condition, dates of current inspections, identified
problems, etc. In case of contact with the VTS representatives always use the AHU factory
identification number, located on the casing as well as in the AHU documentation.
Duration of periods between particular actions have been determined with assumption that the AHU
works "non-stop" in low-dust environment and with no other disadvantages deteriorating the
operation conditions. In environments with high level of dust in supply or exhaust air, the inspections
should be carried out more frequently.
AHU spare parts and accessories can be ordered at local authorized VTS service provider. While
ordering parts please use the type and factory identification number of the device. This information
can be found on the rating plate located on the fan section.
7.1 Dampers
If the damper is contaminated and does not operate freely it should be cleaned in one of the
following ways:
- with industrial vacuum cleaner with soft suction nozzle,
- blow through with compressed air,
- wash with water under pressure with cleaning agents which do not cause aluminum corrosion.

The damper should be accurately sealed after re-assembly, first of all from the side of external air,
otherwise the water heater can be frozen.

7.2 Filters
In standard AHU operation conditions the filters should be replaced circa each twice a
year. Necessity of replacing the filter (beside the visual contamination) is also indicated
by pressure drop according the data shown in Table 9.

The AHUs can be equipped with the following filters:

- [Link] preliminary bag filters, G 4, M 5, F 7 and F 9 class
- [Link] preliminary panel filters, G 4 class
- [Link] secondary bag filters, F 9 class.
Filtration level may vary depending on the filter type and that is why this is very
important to install the same filter with the same filtration class.
If the final pressure difference exceeds designed value, it must be replaced. Panel filters - FD and
bag filters - FK are disposable elements.
During filter replacement also clean the filtration section - vacuum or dry cleaning.
In case of ordering a new filter set at the VTS authorized service provider, provide filter type, filtration
class, AHU size and, if needed, size and number of filters according to the following table.
The AHUs always have to operate with installed air filters, otherwise fans power consumption may
exceed designed values, which may lead to damage of the motor's wiring.

7.3 Heat exchangers

7.3.1 Water and glycol heater

Operating water heaters should be equipped with anti-frost system. Optionally, in winter period
replace heating medium of the heater with antifreeze medium (e.g.: glycol solution). In case of
cutting off inflow of heating medium or operational standstill of the AHU and if air temperature may
drop below + 5ºC, the heater should be emptied.

In order to do so, please:

- close the valves at the heating agent’s inflow and outflow (cut the heater off from the heating
system)
- move the inspection panel towards the safety valves
- unscrew the drain and the vent plug from collectors
- connect the outflow hose to the drain to let the water go out of the drained exchanger outside the
AHU
- blow through the heater with compressed air connected to the vent
VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice
Ventus Air Handling Units
41
 - repeat this procedure several times at short intervals until only air goes out of the
drain hose without any visible drops of water
- screw the drain and vent plugs back

Check contamination level of heater's lamellas at least every four months. Dust deposition on the
heater surface deteriorates the heater's heating power and lead to pressure drop on the air side.
Even if the AHU is equipped with filters, with time from the air supply side, dust settles onto the
heater's lamellas. In case of contamination, cleaning should be carried out in one of the following
ways:
- with a vacuum cleaner with soft suction nozzle from the air inlet side,
- by blowing through with compressed air in a direction opposite to normal air flow direction, directing
air stream in parallel to the lamellas,
- washing with warm water with cleaning agents which do not cause aluminum or copper corrosion.

Before starting washing protect neighboring AHU sections against discharged dirt.

In order to achieve max. heating output of the heater, it must be well vented. Venting plugs are
designed to do so and they are placed on heater’s collectors.

During the AHU standstill, flow of the heating medium should be reduced to minimum so as
temperature inside the AHU does not exceed + 60ºC. Exceeding this value may lead to damage of
some elements or subassemblies (motor, bearings, plastic elements, etc.) installed in the
neighboring sections.
7.3.2 Electric Heater
Electric heater's battery consists of bare heating coils. During AHU operation, when the heater does
not work, dust may settle onto the heating coils. Once the heater is turned on again, strong
contamination may cause smell of burning dust or even preliminary fire danger may appear. Check
regularly (every 4 months) and especially before starting a heating period, any electric connections,
condition of heating elements and their contamination level. Any possible contamination should be
removed with a vacuum cleaner with soft suction nozzle or with compressed air.
Wet cleaning of electric heater is forbidden!

Also check operation of overheating protection in case of lack of air-flow. Air speed should not be
lower than 1.5 m/s.
7.3.3 Water or glycol cooler
Contamination level of the cooler should be checked each four months. If necessary, the cooler can
be cleaned applying methods of cleaning the water heater.
Before starting washing protect neighboring AHU sections against discharged dirt.
While checking contamination level, check the condenser status as well as passability of water
siphon. The water siphon should be filled with water before starting up the AHU.
If the condenser is contaminated it should be washed with warm water with some cleaning medium.
In case of glycol cooler check level and density of glycol in the system. In order to achieve max.
output of the cooler, it must be well vented. Venting plugs are designed to do so and they are placed
on cooler’s collectors.
7.3.4 Freon cooler and heater
Maintenance of freon cooler covers the same range as the water heater and cooler. While washing
the freon cooler with warm water, the cooling system should be emptied by sucking off freon to the
container. Otherwise there is a risk of uncontrolled increase of freon pressure and damage of the
cooling system.
7.3.5 Humidifier
Periodic maintenance operations of the humidifier boils down to clean the strainer-type filter on the
water supply pipe at least twice a year, and at least once a year, check the following:
- all wires about aging, cracks, current leakage, etc
- water pipes and joints about aging, cracks and leakage
- if the water pump has abnormal sound or peculiar smell during the running
7.3.6 Cross-flow and counter flow heat exchanger
Check the exchanger every four months and inspect its technical condition as well as contamination
level. Dirt accumulation in plate heat exchangers is often limited to the first 50mm in the exchanger.
Before starting washing protect neighboring AHU sections against discharged dirt.
VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice
Ventus Air Handling Units
42
 Necessary cleaning should be carried out using:
- vacuum cleaning with soft suction nozzle,
- blowing through the ducts with air stream in a direction opposite to the normal air flow direction,
- washing the air ducts at their whole length with water with cleaning agents which do not cause
aluminum corrosion,
- in case of very contaminated exchangers you can use stream of compressed water to clean them.
While cleaning the exchanger using mechanical cleaning agents pay utmost attention not to damage
or deform the exchanger's panels.
During exchanger operation in below zero temperature, the exchanger must be thoroughly dried
before next start-up.
And what is more, please check:
- damper's operation,
- condenser's condition,
- draining tray's condition,
- passability of the condensate drainage system,
- before starting the AHU, fill the water siphon with water, assembly of anti-frost system (if any),

In the units VVS 21-55 counter-flow exchanger is installed as a one piece, similar as cross-flow
recuperator, and access to it is directly after opening the inspection door. In the units VVS 75-650
hexagonal exchanger is inbuilt vertically and consist on one, two or more pieces assembled in
separate construction. Each of that construction is possible to move out of the AHU.

Steps to remove the exchanger from the AHU

1) Unscrew the screws fixing horizontal columns (pos.1. fig.23) and remove them
2) Unscrew the screws fixing vertical columns at the top and bottom (pos.2. fig.23) and remove them
from the unit
3) Unscrew the bolts fixing the exchanger cage. Bolts are placed at the top and bottom (pos.3. fig.23)
and the middle (pos. 4. fig.23) part of the AHU. In the units VVS 75-230 is additional fixing to the
celling (pos.5. fig.23).
4) Remove exchanger cage from AHU (pos.6. fig.23).

Number of columns, screws and bolts necessary to disassembly depend on the size of unit.

The cages of the counter flow heat exchanger cannot be lifted by a crane with
using top profiles of the construction. It should be supported from the bottom.

 7.3.7 Rotary exchanger
Check the exchanger every four months and inspect its technical condition as well as contamination
level of the rotor. During maintenance activities of the rotary exchanger check if:
- rotor rotates freely. Sensible resistance can be caused by too excessive hold down of sealing
brushes and touching the rotor's edges. In such a situation adjust the brushes properly. Worn out
brushes sealing should be replaced. If previously removed brush sealing is to be installed again, it
should be installed so that its direction should be in line with the rotor's rotation direction. After
replacement or adjustment of sealing brushes, the exchanger should operate 30 minutes so that
the brushes could adapt to the rotor's surface.
After this time check the motor's current and compare it with the rated current in order to find out if
the motor is not overloaded.
- drive belt is not damaged and if it is clean as well as if it does not slip on the cylindrical part of the
rotor. If despite maximal tension by the strain system the clearance still exists, the belt should be
replaced or shortened,
- air inlet holes are not covered with dust or contaminated in any other way. In order to clean the
rotor apply one of the methods designed for other exchangers.
Rolling bearings of rotor and drive motor are greased in continuous manner during operation.
Amount of grease in bearings during the exchanger assembly is enough for long-lasting operation
and there is no need to lubricate the bearings during operation. It is recommended to clean the motor
and gear from dust so as an insulation layer was not formed on the motor's surface which may lead
to increase of drive operating temperate.
7.4 Suppression section
Suppression section is equipped with slotted lever filled with non-flammable mineral wool absorbing
acoustic energy. Maintenance procedures entail checking contamination level of suppression inserts.
If cleaning is necessary the slotted levers can be removed one after another through the section
inspection holes, previously removing screws fastening the levers to the bottom and top. Re-
assembly of the slotted levers in the section should be carried out in reverse order.

leaning should be performed with a vacuum cleaner or wet wiping of all surfaces. In case of more
serious contamination you can use nylon brushes.
7.5 Fan unit
Before starting any kind of works (failure, maintenance, servicing) with AHU, especially in case
opening the inspection panels of fan section as well as removing cover plates under the drive, please
make sure if:
- the device has been properly disconnected from power supply. It applies to both main and
secondary circuits,
- rotor is not rotating,
- fan is cold and the surface temperate is safe,
- the fan is protected against unintended start-up.
7.5.1 Fans
Fans are designed for transferring dust-free of light-dusted air. They are not designed for aggressive
gases, steams or heavy-dusted air. Operating the fan in not suitable environment can lead to
damage of bearings, corrosion, unbalanced rotor or vibrations.
The fan and motor in the unit are designed for particular requirements and operation characteristics.
Fan rotation speed is adapted so as the air stream and complete fan stress concentration were
appropriate for a given ventilation system. Smaller stream of forced air results in disturbances in
correct operation and leads to loss of balance of the entire ventilation system. It can be caused by:
- slipping drive belt,
- dust settlings on the fan's rotor blades,
- incorrect direction of fan's rotations. If the centrifugal fan rotates in incorrect direction, the air flow
is carried out with significantly deteriorated output.

In case of fan maintenance activities check if:

- the rotor rotates freely,
- the rotor is well balanced,
- the rotor is firmly mounted on pivot,
- did not change a location against the inlet funnel,
- vibroisolators (if any) are firmly installed and they are not damaged,
VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice
Ventus Air Handling Units
45
 - flexible connection (if any) is not damaged,
- all screws fastening construction elements of the fan unit are tight.
Lack of rotor's balance can be caused by:
- dust settlings on the rotor's blades,
- detachment of additional balancing weights,
- damage of the rotor's blades.
Checking the contamination level of the casing inside, rotor and motor should be carried out every
four months and the following elements should be cleaned:
- casing inside with a vacuum cleaner,
- rotor with a vacuum cleaner or by wet wiping with soft cleaning agent.
In order to achieve required life of the fan, it is necessary to check and clean the bearings regularly.
Fan bearings should be checked while carrying out other maintenance procedures.
Rotate with hands the fan's rotor to check if it rotates freely and correctly. If you can hear:
- silent sounds while rotating as a silent, soft and steady murmur - it means that the bearing
operates correctly,
- grinding noise - lubrication is required,
- harsh, often irregular noises, scrubbing or metallic, frequent noise - the bearing is damaged.
Please replace the bearing.
Check the bearing temperature with a thermometer or by touching the bearing's casing. If the
temperature is too high or if it changes violently, it means that the bearing does not work correctly.
A possible reason might be:
- lack or excess of grease,
- contamination, overload or damage of the bearing's balls,
- bearing clamping,
- excessive sealing friction,
- external heating
Temperature increase is a normal phenomenon during first 1-2 days after lubrication.
During appropriate operation bearings of direct driven fans do not need to be greased. Bearings of
fans with no casing with a belt drive are equipped with grease applicators. In this case bearings
should be greased with solid grease for bearings (table 13), in intervals characteristic of the AHU
operation intensity and current technical condition of the bearing. It is recommended to grease
once per each 9 months if the AHU operates in temperature not higher than 50°C, and in case of
higher temperatures every 4 months. Amount of grease depends on the fan size and applied
bearings. Excess of grease in the bearing casing results in increase of the bearing temperature,
especially in case of high rotation speed. After several greasing procedures, open the bearing
casing and remove old grease before applying the new one.

 FANS BEARINGS

Depending on a type, size and shaft power, fans assembled in the AHUs are equipped with various
types of bearings.

Fans without a casing equipped with PEAF..KBT 1 belt drive (table 16 a) are delivered with already
greased ball bearings in cast-iron casings.

Amount of grease used for lubrication as well as the lubrication interval depends on a
bearing type and its rotary speed.

Replacement of bearings assembled in cast-iron single casings in fans type PEAF...KBT 1:

1. Ease protection screws 1 and remove protection rings 2

out of bearings with a centre punch and hammer. Remove 2 4
pins 3 from a cast-iron bearing casing and remove screws
4 fastening the casing. Remove the casing with the
bearings out of the shaft. Using appropriate tools, hold the
shaft in an appropriate position in order not to damage the
inlet funnel or rotor's wheel.
2. Replace the bearings and install new ones in the cast-iron
casings.
3. Assemble the casings onto the frame paying attention to
preserving coaxiality of the rotor and inlet cone Tighten up
screw fastening the casing. Install protection rings onto the
bearings clamping them according to the fan's rotations
direction and secure them with fixing screws. Turn the
wheel several times in order to check if it rotates correctly.

After inspection and maintenance check the fan's rotations. If the fan's rotations
direction is not correct, the air will flow in a correct direction but the fan's output
will significantly decrease. The fan's rotations direction may change due to some
electric changes in the electric system and that's why it should be controlled.

7.5.2 Motors
Thorough and regular maintenance and motor's condition check is necessary in order to detect faults
before serious damages occur.

Before starting any kind of works related to the motor or its subassemblies, particularly before
removing covers protecting against unintended contact with spinning elements or electric shock, the
device should be disconnected from power supply. What is more all additional and secondary circuits
should be disconnected as well.

VTS reserves the right to implement changes without prior notice

Ventus Air Handling Units
48
 Please follow the safety regulations below:
- disconnect power supply,
- apply protection module against unintended switching on the device,
- check if source of power supply is not in contact with the device in any way,
- apply covers for neighboring live devices.

All precautions listed above should be maintained till all maintenance activities are finished and the
motor is fully assembled and ready for work.

In case of fan's motor maintenance activities check if:

- designed technical data are met (power consumption, winding and bearing temperature),
- grease leakage occur,
- the motor operates correctly and if there are any noises related to the motor and bearings
operation,
- all mechanical and electric connections are firmly fixed,
- windings' resistance is correct,
- cables and insulation is in a good condition and if there are no changes in their color.

Any noticed changes and abnormalities should be fixed immediately. And what is more:
- check the bearings according to the point describing checking the fan's bearings,
- check if the motor is firmly installed and fastening screws tighten up,
- check contamination level of the motor casing.

Excessive contamination deteriorates motor's cooling and in turn it can lead to overheating of the
motor's winding and its damage. The motor can be cleaned with a dry brush or blow through with
compressed air.

MOTOR'S BEARINGS

Motors as standard are equipped with ball bearings of 62.... series which are equipped with a shield.
During bearing replacement or lubrication the motor must be disassembled. While doing so all
individual parts must be clearly marked according to disassembling order. For disassembly of
aligned elements a puller or other appropriate tool must be used.

Remove the bearing, clean the shaft's pin, clean or replace the bearing and install it with new
grease. The bearing should be evenly heated till it reaches 80-100ºC and then push it. Avoid strong
blows (e.g. with a hammer). All worn sealing elements should also be replaced.

All empty bearing spaces should be filled with grease. In order to avoid too excessive lubrication, do
not apply grease onto bearing casing and covers.

In case of motors operating in rated conditions at ambient temperature up to 40ºC grease life is:
- about 20 000 working hours for rotation speed up to 1500 rpm
- about 10 000 working hours for rotation speed up to 3000 rpm For operation at 25ºC these times
are longer by about 100%.
Regardless of number of working hours, grease should be replaced every 3 years due to ageing
effect. In such a case the bearing should be disassembled from the motor, cleaned and lubricated
again.
Type of grease used for motor bearing: ESSO/UNIREX N3.
Provided grease life and lubrication intervals correspond to this grease only.
Do not mix different grease types!

7.5.3 Belt transmission

During operation activities of the fan unit you have to check tension of wedge-shaped belts and their
parallel alignment. Factory-set belts tension should be checked after first 50 working hours and then
carry out regular adjustment every 4 months. Too loose belt can fall off the pulley or slide on it and in
turn may wear out quickly, but on the other hand too tight belt may result in bearing overheating and
damage as well as motor's overload.
Tension check should be carried out in the following way:
1. Measure a distance between wheels' axes (A size. fig.24).
2. Measure power P needed in order to bend the belt by S=16 mm for each running meter of a
distance between the axes, more or less in halfway between the axes (fig.24).
3. Increase the belt tension if the power has got a smaller value or decrease - if the power has got
bigger value than the one shown in the table.
4. Recommended belt tension is equal to 0.8 x Pmax
In case of incorrect belts tension, stretch them by moving the motor with a stretching screw located
in the motor panel (fig.26), and compare tension values with the values shown in the table 18

Fig.25 Deflection of wedge-shaped belt depending on axle base of the pulleys

Also check if the wedge-shaped belt is not broken, cracked, dried or damaged in any other
way. Damaged wedge-shaped belt must be replaced. In case of multi-belt drive, even if
just one belt is worn out, you have to replace all the belts making sure that they have
the same length and fit the grooves of the pulley. If you do not replace all the belts,
the new ones will transfer bigger overloads since they are a bit shorter than the old
ones. During belts replacement ease the stretching screws of the motor panel (fig.26) so
that the belts can be removed and replaced with new one manually without applying force.
In no circumstances you are allowed to install the belts by force, with a screwdriver or
with any other tool. During belt replacement check if the pulleys' contact surfaces are
not worn out. New belts should be stretched so as the required deflection force P (fig.
24) was as
close to the P value shown in the table 18 as possible.
Once the new belts are assembled, verify the pulleys' alignment, checking with a gauge if
they are parallel to each other and if their groves are in a line. (fig. 27). Once they
are adjusted, rotate the drive without any load to allow the belts to lay down in the
grooves accurately. New belts should be stretched again after 50 hours of operation.

Fig.27. Pulleys adjustment

In order to correct alignment of the motor and fan's shafts you have to accurately locate the motor
onto the stretching panel. If the pulleys' grooves are not aligned, move one of the pulleys (fan or
motor's) along the shaft in order to align the surfaces. This procedure is enabled thanks to the
„Taper-Lock" pull sleeve.

In order to move the pulleys for adjustment or replacement of the pulley with the „Taper-Lock"
sleeves, follow the steps below:
1. remove hexagon-socket screws from the holes marked with ,,A'' (fig. 32 or 33)
2. screw in the same screws into the holes marked with ,,B'' . Keep screwing in the screw till the
pulley and sleeve on the shaft become loose
3. move the sleeve on the motor or fan's shaft pin (in case of replacement remove the sleeve with
the pulley and install a new set)

Iron and steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, e.g. windings (the winding insulation is incinerated during
copper recycling), insulating materials, cables and wires, electronic waste, plastic parts (impeller, winding
cover ect.). The same goes for cloths and cleaning substances which have been used while working on the
machine.
Dispose of the separated components according to local regulations or via a specialist disposal company.
Long failure-free operation depends on keeping the product/device/fan within performance limitations
described by selection software or maintenance manual.
