Description of the Air Handling Unit
The GOLD RX/PX/CX air handling units are complete with
direct-driven supply air and extract air fans, supply air and
extract air filters and heat exchanger. The heat exchanger
is either a rotary heat exchanger (RX), counterflow heat
exchanger (PX) or coil heat exchanger (CX).
The GOLD SD single-direction units are supply air/extract
air handling units with one direct-driven supply air or
extract air fan. A filter is available as an option for all
sizes. The coil heat exchanger and unmounted pipework
package can be selected for the size 004-120 units.
The GOLD has built-in control equipment that can be
operated from the hand-held micro terminal in the form
of a touchscreen.
The electrical and control system is completely integrated
into the air handling unit. The microprocessor-based
equipment controls and regulates temperatures, airflows
and other functions. A large number of functions are built
into the system and are simple to activate.
If supplementary functional sections such as dampers
and air coolers are required, they must be installed in the
ductwork (uninsulated duct accessories) or be docked to
the air handling unit (insulated duct accessories). Unit sec-
tions such as e.g. the multisection and air bypass section
can be installed in the air handling unit arrangement of
the size 004-120 RX/PX/CX units.
With provision for cooling and heating
The GOLD is also well suited for cooling and heating.
Control functions are ready to activate in the control
system and the equipment for cooling as well as for pre-
heating and reheating are available as accessories.
Field of Application
The GOLD units are designed for use in comfort ventila-
tion applications. Depending on the variant selected,
GOLD units can be utilized in buildings such as office
buildings, schools, day nurseries, public buildings, shops,
residential buildings, etc.
GOLD units equipped with counterflow-/coil heat
exchanger (PX/CX) and separate supply air and extract air
handling units (SD) can also be used for the ventilation
of moderately humid buildings; however not where the
humidity is continuously high, such as in indoor swimming
baths.
The separate GOLD supply air and extract air handling
units (SD) are designed for applications in which the
supply air and extract air flows need to be completely
separated from one another or where, due to limited
available space, separate units for supply air and extract
air are needed. They can also be used individually if only
one of the variants is needed.
GOLD units equipped with the roof, air intake section and
exhaust air hood accessories can be installed outdoors.
The GOLD is designed and tested for temperatures, in the
surroundings and the air stream, from -40°C to +40°C.
However, for GOLD RX the temperature difference
between the outdoor air and extract air must not exceed
70°C.
GOLD conforms to the requirements set out in the
hygiene design regulations VDI 6022, see the separate
guide.

The units in other sizes/variants have bag filters of ample
proportions on both the supply air and outdoor air sides.
Pressure sensors for measuring the pressure drop across
the filters are incorporated into the control system.
Pre-filter inside air handling units
Prefilters installed inside air handling units can be ordered
as optional extras (does not apply to the type RX Top
units).
Fans
The direct-driven fans are of GOLD Wing+ type, unique
axial-centrifugal fans with the focus on excellent power
efficiency, uniform airflow and low noise level. The GOLD
Wing is patented. Functional sections such as air coolers
and bends can be connected directly against the air han-
dling unit without appreciable pressure losses. This saves
space in the fan room.
The fans are driven by high-efficiency EC motors, which
together with a motor control system especially devel-
oped for the GOLD, perform with extremely high effi-
ciency.
The fans are approved for continuous operation in tem-
peratures of up to 40°C.
The fans are tested for, and can manage operation for
one hour at 70°C.
The fan motors have a motor control system for variable
speed regulation and the fans have measurement tap-
pings for continuous measurement and regulation of the
airflow.
The fans are effectively vibration-isolated from the casing
by means of rubber bushings/flexible connections.
The fans are fixed in their positions by means of locking
knobs/screws and clamping bands. These fasteners can
easily be loosened, after which the entire fan package can
be withdrawn for inspection and maintenance.
Description of the air handling unit
Mechanical Design
Prefilters are used in ventilation systems, in which the
extract air and/or the outdoor air is/are heavily polluted
and it is desirable to prevent the fine filters inside the
GOLD unit from becoming clogged after a short period of
use.
the filters are of woven aluminium type or Class Coarse
65% (G4) compact filters.
Pressure sensors for measuring the pressure drop across
the filters are incorporated into the control system.

Heat exchanger
Rotary heat exchanger
RECOnomic/RECOsorptic rotary heat exchanger with a
temperature efficiency of up to 85%. The need for heat
is dealt with by automatically and variably regulating the
speed of the rotor.
The rotary heat exchanger effectively recovers cooling
energy as well.
It is available in a sorption version (RECOsorptic) for mois-
ture recovery, which reduces operating and investment
costs for cooling and improves indoor comfort levels in
the winter, as well as in an epoxy-treated version.
Purging sector, commissioning plates and pressure meas-
urement tappings as standard, ensure that the extract air
will not be carried over to the supply air.
The RECOnomic/RECOsorptic heat exchanger is patented.
Mechanical Design
Purging sector
Counterflow heat exchanger
The counterflow heat exchanger is as standard equipped
with centre-mounted bypass dampers and two heat
exchanger dampers for variable and automatic regulation
of the heat exchanger’s efficiency on heat recovery.
The counterflow heat exchanger is available in two ver-
sions: Normal efficiency (MPE, Maximum Pressure Effi-
ciency) and high efficiency (MTE, Maximum Temperature
Efficiency) respectively. In the MPE version, the focus is on
low pressure drop across the heat exchanger. In the MTE
version, priority is given to high temperature efficiency.
Internal leakage between air streams conforms to the
provisions of Ductwork leakage class L2.
In cold weather, and when the extract air is humid, there
is risk of frosting inside the plate heat exchanger. The
GOLD PX is therefore equipped with anti-frost protection.
RECOfrost anti-frost protection
The pressure drop across the heat exchanger, extract air
temperature, moisture content in the extract air and out-
door air temperature are measured.
With consideration given to the pressure drop across the
heat exchanger, the extract air temperature, the moisture
content in the extract air and the outdoor air tempera-
ture, the control system individually regulates dampers
for bypass and the heat exchanger for section-by-section
defrosting without the formation of frost. This enables
high annual efficiency, smaller air heaters and pressure-
drop-optimized operation during the spring and autumn.

Coil heat exchanger
The coil heat exchanger in the one-piece units, GOLD
CX, sizes 035-080, are supplied complete from the fac-
tory; including mounted pipework package with all the
necessary components. The system is normally filled with
liquid, vented, adjusted and performance-tested prior
to delivery, but can also be ordered in unfilled condition
e.g. for housing improvement projects or if the applica-
tion requires filling with another mixture instead of 30 %
ethylene glycol. On the size 100/120 GOLD CX one-piece
unit, the pipework package (accessory) including separate
control unit are supplied in unmounted condition.
Coil heat exchangers and pipework packages are available
as unmounted accessories for the separate size 004-120
supply air and extract air handling units (SD) A separate
control unit for the coil heat exchanger is always included
in the supply.
The pipework package's valve variably regulates the coil
heat exchanger's efficiency on heat recovery and the
circulation pump is demand-controlled.
In cold weather, and if the extract air is humid, there is
risk of frosting in coil heat exchangers. The GOLD CX/SD
is equipped with an extremely effective anti-frost protec-
tion that measures the temperature of the liquid in the
extract air coil and also the humidity in the extract air.
Taking the humidity into consideration, the IQlogic control
system calculates the lowest permissible liquid tempera-
ture without risk of frosting inside the coil. The valve in
the pipework package is then controlled to prevent the
temperature from dropping below this limit.

Duct Connections
Are for sizes 004/005, 007/008 and 011/012 circular and
designed for connection to ducts with insertion joints
fitted with a rubber seal ring. A duct bend fits directly
into the connection. The duct connections are horizon-
tally and vertically offset to enable ducts to be run in any
direction without blocking one another.
The size 014-120 units have rectangular duct connections
with a securely mounted connection frame for slip-clamp
joint connection. Type METU connection frames are avail-
able as an accessories.
GOLD RX/PX are also available in a top-fed variant, GOLD
RX/PX Top, with all the duct connections upward. GOLD
RX/PX Top is available in sizes 004-030.
To further reduce pressure losses, a full face end con-
nection with larger rectangular duct connection is also
offered as an accessory (all sizes).
The air handling unit's GOLD Wing+ fans provide a
uniform airflow immediately downstream of the outlet
making it possible to connect duct bends and functional
sections, for example cooling coils, directly to the unit
without appreciable pressure losses.
If insulated duct accessories are selected, they should be
docked directly against the air handling unit. The air han-
dling unit is then supplied without end connection panel
for the relevant inlet/outlet.
Pressure Adjusting Plates
(applicable to air handling units with rotary heat
exchanger only)
The unit is equipped with pressure adjusting plates
to ensure that the purging air flow through the heat
exchanger will be as it was designed to be. These plates
make it possible to achieve correct pressure balance in the
unit so that the purging airflow will pass in the correct
direction.
The pressure adjusting plates are supplied in unmounted
condition and shall be positioned by the extract air inlet of
the air handling unit.
