ENGLISH
4. INSTALLATION
• When designing the air handling unit and/
or duct system, the system designer needs to
make sure it is possible to remove/pull out the
heat exchanger for inspection, maintenance,
service, cleaning and disinfection. Furthermore,
the system designer needs to consider enough
space inside and outside of the system to make
sure that it is possible to remove/pull out the
heat exchanger.
• For bigger heat exchanger units it is required
to add doors or hatches on all sides in the
air-handling unit and/or duct system making
it possible to access the heat exchanger for
inspection, maintenance, service, cleaning and
disinfection.
• In case condensate is present, it is required by
the designer of the air handling unit and/or
duct system, to design and install a condensa-
tion tray according to the norm VDI 6022,
chapter 4.3.16
• The casing is self-supporting but cannot take
up extra load e.g. ducts.
• Place the rotor on a horizontal surface since an
uneven surface can warp the casing and affect
the factory adjustments.
• Make sure that the front- and back plates of
the casing are installed perpendicular to the
horizontal bottom surface. If not the casing
may interfere with the movement of the rotor
wheel.
• In case of horizontal rotors, support is needed
for the frame and center girder. Also, check that
rotor is ordered and manufactured as a hori-
zontal rotor. Rotor may only be installed either
in a vertical or a horizontal position according
to design, not at an angle.
• Avoid diagonal ow since this can affect the
rotation and drive of the wheel. Heatex AB
recommends the airow to be perpendicular to
the rotor.
• The rotor is designed for counter ow only; co-
current ow will decrease efciency and reduce
the rotors self-cleaning ability.
• Prior to initial operation, please make sure no
objects are blocking the rotors movement. The
rotor should move evenly and smoothly around
its shaft.
Placing the unit on an uneven surface
may warp the casing.
• Drive motor if delivered with controller is
pre-wired and 230V should just be wired to
the controller. Constant speed motors are
without wiring. It is important that all electrical
work is carried out by qualied staff. Please
see enclosed documentation and/or wiring
Picture 2.
• If the unit is delivered with a variable speed
drive, read the corresponding controller
documentation.
5. ADJUSTMENTS
• If necessary, adjust the brush sealants to mini-
mize leakage.
• If the belt slides adjust belt tension.
• The round belt should have a tension of 4-6%
and Powerbelt should have a tension of 1-2%
(i.e. belt should be 1-2% shorter than the length
it travels). For Powerbelt remove one link per
meter belt to get correct tension
IMPORTANT!
All electrical work must be carried
out by qualied staff
