SYSTEM COMPONENTS 

Requirement 

 

The PCU has been developed by Air Change to dehumidify outdoor air and maintain the supply air 

temperature. The PCU incorporates a series of sensible heat exchangers that transfer temperature 

only. 

 

These units are manufactured to meet the design criteria. The system is professionally assembled, 

and internally wired throughout, with large access panels where required for service and 

maintenance. 

 

If specified, for corrosive air applications, the required components are coated with corrosion 

resistant materials selected by Air Change. Upon request, specifications of the treatments used 

can be supplied. 

System Components 

The unit employs 100% outside air and comprises of the following components: 

Cabinet 

 

Prefabricated wall and ceiling panels are made of stressed skin insulated sandwich construction, 

consisting of metal internal parts and external skins bonded under pressure with thermosetting 

adhesive to a core of rigid cellular insulation. 

 

Insulation is a single layer of rigid Polyisocyanurate sheet to AS1366.3 Class SL continuous 

without voids, free of line faults through or across the sheet. 

 

Purpose built UV treated polymer joiners are used to insulate against heat loss through the body of 

the unit. The cabinet is fully weatherproof and designed for outdoor use. 

 

Galvanised steel RHS construction on base. 

 

Air Change units are designed with extremely large access doors to ensure that all parts are 

accessible for servicing and replacement.
