Installation Manual
All coils sit in a common drip tray connected to the pre-fitted
condensate pump.
The coil panel has been pre-drilled and fitted with appropriate
grommets for pipe connections. Do not drill or cut the unit casing for
this purpose.
Coils should have their finned surface examined for accumulation of
dirt, lint and biological contaminants or similar. If necessary, wash
down affected areas with a mild detergent solution and a soft brush.
Care should be taken not to damage the finned surface, and any
cleaning fluids should be rinsed away with water.
A compressed air line may be used to blow out any solids between
fins. Do not probe the coil fin block with metal objects as damage
may cause leaks. Drain lines should be checked to ensure that they
are unobstructed and free draining. Drain pans should be flushed out
periodically to remove contamination.
The unit application may require particular attention to this item –
Check with Building Management personnel for details.
9.6 Thermal Wheel
After the 2-3 weeks of operation, and at least once per year, ensure the
following maintenance is performed.
•
Check that rotor is vertical and centred in casing. Adjust vertical
and horizontal position if needed.
•
Check the thermal wheel spins freely.
•
Adjust sealing to ensure contact with the rotor and side plates.
Replace brush sealing if it is worn.
•
Check that motor bracket is in 20-45° angle from horizontal line.
•
Adjust length of drive belt if needed.
•
Check condition of belt and belt lock (joint).

Thermal Wheel Belt
Experience shows that clogging of heat exchangers is not expected
in normal cooling and air-conditioning systems. However, if deposits
accumulate on the exchanger when used for special applications, it can
be cleaned as follows:
Remove dust and fibres with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Use
caution when blowing dirt out with compressed air to avoid damage to
the wheel. Keep at a distance!
Oils, solvents etc. can be removed with hot water (max. 70 °C) or
grease-removing solvents or immersion.
9.0 MAINTENANCE
It is important that maintenance checks are recorded and that the
schedule is always adhered to, in all cases, the previous report should
be referred to.
9.1 Fans
Please refer to general arrangement drawings for details of the type
of fan and drive that is fitted. Maintenance guidelines for all fans are
beyond this manual, please contact Nuaire for specific documents.
•
Before any work is carried out, please ensure that:
•
The power supply to the motor is switched off.
•
The fan impeller is at rest.
Measures are taken to ensure that the accidental, uncontrolled running
of the fan is prevented during maintenance work.
In general, fans should be inspected twice a year, and care should be
taken to ensure that any unusual vibration or sound is investigated as
an urgent matter.
Access to the fan section is via hinged or lift-off panels. Cable entry
must be made through the apertures provided. Screwed glands with
cable restraint devices should be used.
9.2 General Fan Maintenance
Access to the fan is normally gained by opening the hinged access
doors.
Care should be taken to remove any build up of dust (a light vacuum or
light brushing will normally take care of this) Do not use a steam or any
other high pressure cleaners.
Inspect the connection between the fan and unit for any damage or
wear and tear.
9.3 Bearings
The bearings that are fitted will be (unless otherwise specified) “sealed
for life”, therefore consequence maintenance is not required.
Fan bearings are lifelong; up to 40,000 hours of operation. In cases of
heavy duty operation, maintenance intervals are to be established by
the operator.
9.4 Filters
When removing the filter access panels, pay attention to the airflow
direction marked on the panel, this must be replaced to the exact
position prior to being removed. Disposable filters should be checked,
and changed when they become fully laden with dust. Washable filters
should be removed and washed in a mild detergent, flushed with clean
water and allowed to dry before refitting.
9.5 Coils
Coils should be connected to ensure that full counter flow exists i.e. the
entering airflow meets the return connection.
All coils should be connected with the flow at the bottom and the
return at the top unless otherwise advised. Drain and bleed valves are
located on the coil, others may be required in the system pipe-work
depending on the installation.
Frost protection must be incorporated on shut down and fresh air
conditions to avoid coil freezing. Ideally, where the system is at risk of
frost damage, the addition of a proprietary antifreeze solution to the
water is recommended.
Pipe-work connections should be made to the unit using appropriate
techniques, and must be independently supported. The connections
should be pressure tested.
