  • Casing leakage test (+700 pa).
  • Casing strength (2500 Pa).
  • Thermal Bridging.
  • Thermal Transmittance.
  • Filter Bypass leakage ( -400 pa).

Aluminium Frame

The structure is made from hollow extruded heavy aluminium profiles, anodized for extra anti-corrosion protection. The frame provides excellent rigidity and stability to the structure along with good aesthetics. These profiles are specially designed for HVAC applications, Profiles are connected using special die-cast Glass-filled nylon corner pieces to form the air handling unit sections.

Frame sizes for panels of various thicknesses such as 25mm and 50mm are also available. 50mm thermal break profile has excellent thermal bridging and the least thermal transmittance properties which are by EN1886.

Following are the features of this construction:

  • Aluminium frame construction.
  • Good mechanical strength.
  • Perfect appearance and precise dimensions.
  • Quick and precise installation of the interior components.
  • Can be easily dismantled and assembled at minimum time and cost.

Panel

Panels are sandwich double skin type with a pre-painted galvanized outer steel and inner as a galvanized sheet.

Polyurethane foam insulation is injected between the two sheets to make sandwich panels. A minimum density of 40kg/m3 is maintained however higher density of up to 48kg/m3 can also be achieved. Stainless steel 304, Stainless steel 316, or Aluminium sheets can be provided for double skin panels as an option. The Polyurethane injected panels have excellent heat insulation and noise reduction properties and add extra mechanical strength and rigidity to the structure. The factory injected PUF is CFC & HFC-free and self-extinguishing type.

The maximum heat transfer coefficient for 25 mm, and 50 mm thermal break is U = 0.73 w/m3K and 0.35w/m3K respectively. Panels are fixed to profile with a high-quality gasket which has excellent sealing properties and good resistance to compression stress and temperature.

Heat Recovery Wheel (HW)

The thermal wheel is used to recover the energy from the exhaust air and subsequently bring down the overall cooling load.
The thermal wheels are air-to-air rotary heat exchangers and can recover energy up to 80% without spoiling the IAQ. The heat wheel can recover both the sensible as well as latent heat thus reducing the load on the main cooling coil by around 30 %.

Two basic types of Wheels are available.

  • Sensible heat recovery wheel – for sensible heat recovery only
  • Enthalpy heat recovery wheel – for Sensible and latent recovery. The thermal wheel is a revolving cylinder divided into several parallel flutes.
