AHU casing

The AHU casing is made from steel panels with duplex

powder coating on all sides. This construction ensures

that no parts can be ejected from the unit in case of a

fault. This construction also protects the interior of the

AHU from environmental effects.

The inner skins of the casing are also available in stain-

less steel (optional).

Local isolator

Fig. 2: Local isolator

As long as the AHU remains switched on (mains iso-

lator in 'I' position), the connecting cable for the local

isolator is live.

Each local isolator carries a sticker with the code of the

equipment that it isolates.

You can lock each local isolator in the '0' position (with a

padlock) to secure it against being switched on acciden-

tally so that you can safely work on the respective com-

ponent (e.g. fan).

Equipotential bonding

A skilled qualified electrician has to connect the AHU to

the local earth bar; this is done as part of installation.

Equipotential bonding prevents electrostatic ignition

hazards.

faces have cooled down to ambient temperature.

WARNING!

Risk of injury from hot surfaces!

Steam heat exchangers are operated with tempera-

tures of >100 °C. Contact with surfaces of the heat

exchanger causes severe skin burns.

Before performing any work on the heat exchanger,

the supply of steam must be interrupted and you

must ensure that the surface temperature has cooled

down to room temperature, e.g. using an infrared

thermometer.

DANGER!

Risk of leakage due to escaping steam

If steam is released due to leakages, the supply of

steam to the heat exchanger must be stopped imme-

diately.

The heat exchanger must be fully emptied before

repair work can be carried out. The steam is subject

to high pressure; if the steam escapes due to a

leakage, a hot steam jet can occur that can cause

severe scalds.

Cold surfaces

WARNING!

Risk of injury from cold surfaces!

The surfaces of the integral refrigeration system and

evaporator can cool down to -20 °C while in opera-

tion. Skin contact with cold surfaces causes frostbite

and cold burns.

– Wear protective clothing and gloves that protect

you from the cold when you work near a poten-

tially cold surface.

– Before you start working, make sure that all sur-

faces have warmed up to ambient temperature.
