NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property from incorrect pipe
connections!
Take care to connect the pipes correctly as otherwise
the pipes and the drain trap may be damaged
beyond repair.
–
Connect pipes in such a way that they are not
affected by vibration and that no loads are
imposed on them.
–
If an AHU is installed outdoors, use suitable
pipes and protect them from frost.

1.
Calculate the height of the drain trap as shown
above.
Fig. 31: Condensate drain
2.
Remove the protective cap (Fig. 31/2) from each
drain (Fig. 31/1) of the condensate drip tray.

sure
3.
Adjust the height of the drain tap based on the
above calculation. Drain traps for negative pres-
sure: Instead of shortening the pipe, you can
install the drain trap so that it slopes.
4.
Connect a drain trap to each condensate drain
Do not connect the drain trap to the drainage pipe;
the water from the drain trap should flow to a gully.
Air handling units to be installed outdoors or in
areas at risk of frost require frost protection for the
Appendix C ‘Installing a frost protec-
tion device for the drain trap’ on page 93

WARNING!
Danger of death due to electric current!
If electrical components come into contact with water
or a water glycol mixture, e.g. from a leak, you could
be seriously or even fatally injured. Water can also
cause damage to the air handling unit.
–
Lay connecting cables in such a way that they
cannot be accidentally damaged by mechanical
impact or by heat.
–
Do not lay connecting cables across electrical
components or switch cabinets as people may
become entangled in them.
Connect heat exchangers in a counter flow arrangement
unless a parallel flow arrangement has been specified
by the manufacturer. Only a counter flow arrangement
ensures that the calculated capacity is achieved.
