Installation Manual
11.5 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.
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.
11.6 Plate Heat Exchanger
The recuperator block is normally protected from dust and
contamination by upstream pre-filters. It is possible to clean the unit
with compressed air in the case of dust deposits or by spraying with a
mild detergent solution for grease deposits.
Solvents, strong alkaline, acidic or any products that may be aggressive
to aluminium or plastics should not be used. Do not use cleaning water
over 50°C.
Drain lines should be checked to ensure that they are unobstructed and
free draining. Traps should be checked that they are fully primed and
functioning.
Drain pans should be flushed out periodically to remove contamination,
and chemical treatments may be used to provide protection between
service visits.

Check with Building Management personnel for details.
11.7 Legionella Check
Legionella risk management should be undertaken by a competent
person appointed by the duty holder in accordance with the latest
edition of the HSE approved code of practice L8 Legionnaires’ disease,
the control of legionella bacteria in water systems. Particular attention
should be given to:
•Cooling coil.
•Thermal Wheel.
•Drain trays.
•Water reservoirs.
11.8 Electric Heaters
An air handling unit would normally require no heater maintenance.
However a periodic check is advised to ensure that the fasteners and
electrical connections are operating correctly.
The electric heater unit is fitted with fail-safe thermal switches (self-
resetting) which will isolate the electric heater supply if a temperature
of 80°C is detected. This action is performed independently of any
controls fitted. Nuaire fitted controls will also stop heating if a fan or
heater failure is detected.
11.9 Bulkhead Lights
Ensure that lights are switched off and isolated before checking or
changing the lamp.
11.10 General
Inspect all internal and external surfaces to check for corrosion or
peeling of painted surfaces.
Thoroughly clean affected areas with a wire brush, apply a coat of zinc
rich primer or similar, and re-touch with suitable finishing paint. Ensure
tightness of all nuts, bolts, and fixings.
Check all components for general condition.
11.11 Specialist Equipment
Contact Nuaire for maintenance of specialised equipment that
would have been specified during design stage. A breakdown of the
component parts can be found on the design specification documents,
additional maintenance literature is available, please contact Nuaire.
This applies to any components not specifically mentioned in this
document.
11.12 Maintenance Schedule
11.12.1 Routine Maintenance
•Clean all areas of unit and treat any areas of corrosion.
•Check all access doors for leakage and if necessary locks should be
adjusted and any replacement gasket materials should be replaced
as required.
•Any drain trays should be cleaned and repaired if necessary.
11.12.2 Every 3 Months
•Check filters and change/clean if required, failure to do so may
impair the performance and energy efficiency of this unit.
•Ensure condensate drains are cleaned clear and that water can
flow freely from unit.
•Check fin coil banks and heat exchangers. If necessary clean with a
soft brush or vacuum. Check for signs of contamination.
11.12.3 Annually
•Thoroughly inspect the unit and its components for corrosion,
acting immediately to treat/restore any damaged areas.
•All electrical terminals within the unit should be tightened.
•Check all earth connections.
•Check control dampers blades.
•Check operation of damper actuators and linkages and adjust as
necessary.
•Coil faces should be inspected and any dust removed.
•Check any thermal wheel belt, motor, bearings, seals and if
necessary clean with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
