AERO® Indoor/Outdoor Small Air Handler 39S: Annual Maintenance

This annual procedure focuses on different kinds of your equipment's filters and in-track baffles. This will help ensure that your unit performs at it's peak for a long period of time.

    PIPING

    Direct expansion, chilled water, and hot water coils should always be piped for counterflow. (Fluid should enter the coil at the leaving-air side.) Steam coils must have the condensate connection at bottom of coil.

    To determine intervals for cleaning coils in contaminated air operations, pressure taps should be installed across the coils and checked periodically. Abnormal air pressure drop will indi- cate a need for cleaning the coils.

    Annual maintenance should include:

    There are additional precautions and control strategies, as found in various catalogues and in the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook and in the Carrier System Design Guide — Piping Section, when the entering-air temperature to the coil falls below 35°F. These conditions occur when IDT coils are used for pre-heat and/or face and bypass applications.

    Freeze up protection:

    In spite of the precautions listed above, a coil may still freeze up. An oversize capacity coil, at partial load, with a modulating steam control valve will occasionally freeze. Freezing occurs in the 20°F to 35°F range of entering-air temperatures. A better installation would be an undersize coil, with an on/off control valve with thermostatic control in the outside air, set at 35°F air temperature, installed downstream of the first coil; or setting the minimum steam pressure at 5 psig.
