Heat Recovery Unit
Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
®
Immediately upon receipt of goods, check for possible damage in transit paying particular attention to fan
impellers, coil connections and unit casing. Prior to installation please check to ensure alignment and
smooth rotation of the impeller after transit. Also check to ensure that any ancillary items are included.
These will normally be supplied fitted or, in the case of small items, taped to the unit.
In the event of any damage having occurred or if any item is found to be missing, it is essential to inform
VES Andover Ltd. within
7 days
of delivery quoting sales order number and the unit type, as found on the
unit nameplate. After this period, VES would be unable to accept any claim for damaged or missing goods.
The entire system must be considered for safety purposes and it is the responsibility of the installer to
ensure that all of the equipment is installed in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations,
with due regard to the current HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK ACT and conforms to all relevant statutory
regulations.
Where a unit is installed so that a failure of components could result in injury to personnel, precautions
should be taken to prevent such an injury. If the unit is installed where there is a reasonable possibility of
persons or objects coming into contact with the impeller whilst operational, a guard should be fitted or
steps taken to prevent this. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that access panels are not
obstructed in any way and safe working access for maintenance must be provided in accordance with
Health and Safety and Building Regulations. For confirmation of required access please see the
appropriate unit outline drawing.
For optimum unit performance, careful consideration must be paid to the location of the unit in relation to
the ductwork and associated items; placing the unit directly adjacent to a bend in ductwork will impede
airflow and reduce performance. Consideration must also be given by the installer for adequate
illumination of the unit location in order for safe maintenance. Further consideration should be given
to the unit’s position and secured into place as appropriate. This is especially important with external
mounting as the wind and elements may effect the overall stability and safety of the unit.
Handles, lids, housings and coil connections must NOT be used as lifting points
When moving the unit, handle with care and in such a
manner as to avoid damaging the external finish as this
may reduce the ability to resist corrosion.
Units are to be rigged and lifted using spreaders, taking
into account the weight of the unit, and lifting gear should
be arranged so as not to bear on the casework see right.
Larger
EVX
units are sectional. It is important to ensure that all sections are joined together securely prior
to positioning and installation.
Units that are supplied in one section as standard will be factory assembled with the appropriate fixings.
Units over 2.5 metres in length and units with fitted silencers may be supplied in sections, and some site
assembly will be required. Units supplied in sectional form should be assembled using self-adhesive
rubber tape at the joints prior to assembly so as to prevent air leakage; replace with similar if damaged. It
may be necessary to remove some panels in order to access the section fixings; ensure all removed panels
are repositioned and secure correctly.
Units should only be supported using the support feet as provided by VES with the unit. Contact VES
before attempting to support the unit using alternative methods. Only experienced fitters should
undertake this work. Take necessary safety precautions when working in elevated positions.
For associated components (speed controllers, controls) please refer to the relevant accompanying O&M
