unit.
This SYSTEMAIR , catalo-

gue presents Systemair's stan-
dardised range of Normabloc
air handling units, which includes equipment for air flows
between 500 and 87,000 m3/h, with static pressures of up
to 200 mm w.g.
Special care has been taken in the preparation of the cata-

logue to ensure a user-friendly document. Only a little effort
is needed to obtain a rather precise overview of the air han-
dling unit required, with clear, concise information on the
most important characteristics. Based on our experience,
these are key data for the start of any project.
Additional information can be used to identify each of the

characteristics to be taken into account in the precise,
complete definition of each apparatus.
The importance of the air handling unit in the system is

readily understood, as it modifies the air conditions for
final treatment of air conditioned environments and is pla-
ced downstream of all other installed equipment.
Both the construction layout and the physical location of the

installed air handling unit means that it is extremely difficult
to adjust at a later date to conditions much different from tho-
se established during the original selection process. For this
reason, the equipment must be carefully and precisely selec-
ted.
The front surface, and therefore the width and height of

the equipment, is defined on the basis of the air flow rate.
The type of fan and the motor can be selected on the

basis of the design static pressure.

The heating units installed can use different heating fluids
such as:
• Hot water;
• Superheated water;
• Steam;
• Electricity, etc.
The most commonly used cooling media are:

• Chilled water;
• Glycol water;
• Direct expansion of coolants, etc.
An extensive range of air filters can handle a variety of fil-

tering needs, from simple impurity filtering to absolute fil-
tering, within the limits established by the manufacturer for
the filtering media.

Panel humidifier, composed of a standardised enclosure,

including a stainless steel drip pan at the bottom.
The enclosure houses the humidifier panel, which has

crosswise corrugated channels to ensure minimum air
resistance as well as a large contact surface between the
air and water, thereby releasing moisture into the circula-
ting air.
The top of the panel contains a water manifold, to which the

water is pumped through the pipework from the drip pan by
means of a small submersible electrical pump.

Quick selection tips

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1) These fast selection criteria are included to help the user choose the equipment for the design
specifications. Nevertheless, this selection method is not precise enough to indicate the equipment
that best fits your requirements. If more precise information is necessary, please use our compu-
ter-aided selection program (available on CD-ROM) or talk to our Sales Department.
2) The dimensions and weights used in the following pages correspond to equipment constructed
with 25-mm thick NB Panel.
3) Remember: the following formula must be used to determine the air velocity (m/s):
3
Air velocity = Flow rate 2m /s = m/s
Afo m
4) The data used to determine the number of rows of the units are based on the following values:
Cooling: • inlet air 26,4ºC, 48,4% RH.
• outlet air 13,0ºC, 92,0% RH.
Heating: • inlet air 18,0ºC
• outlet air 30,0ºC.
5) The fan features refer to operation in facilities with free inlet and channelled supply outlet, and do
not take into account any air flow fittings.
6) The absolute fan power consumption does not include losses attributable to the drive.

been used to determine the efficiency of the different (fine-dust filters), as per UNE-EN 779
types of filters and no classification system combining the
various criteria in use existed. The first version of the Uni-
fied Standard EN 779 was issued to unify the classification
criteria for all filters with an initial efficiency with atmos-
pheric dust less than or equal to 98%, (Group G: coarse-
dust filters; Group F: fine-dust filters).
Later, in 1998 the first version of Unified Standard

EN-1822 unifying the classification criteria for HEPA and
ULPA absolute filters was published. The initial efficiency
of these filters with atmospheric dust is greater than 98%.

Rotating filter, to improve the maintenance service of the

Normabloc Air Handling Unit. This can be equipped with an
automatic "rotating" filter section.
The filter is composed of a filtering pad spool located at

the top of filter. The pad is threaded onto another collec-
tion spool at the bottom.
The air velocity for the air conditioner is around 2.7 m/s.
The assembly includes an electromechanical drag system

controlled by signals issued by the differential pressure
switch system, which records the amount of dust on the filte-
ring pad, operating the mechanism until the setpoint is rea-
ched.
This rotating filter section cannot be installed in the NB-2

to NB-11 models because of the small size of these
models.
Likewise, both rigid bag filters and the flexible bag filters of
Class F8 and F9 trap particles below 6 microns, which
correspond to the smallest particles of those in temporary
suspension that are visible under a microscopic.
Absolute filters require careful installation that guarante-

es complete air-tightness of all gaskets. They are designed
to eliminate virtually even the smallest particles in the air,
i.e., those in continuous suspension (the smallest of these
are only visible using electronic microscopes).

Humidifiers
Panel humidifier
The evaporative humidifier, which is also used as an air

cooler, can treat large air volumes to obtain cold, humid air
at very low cost.
Common applications include localised cooling at job sta-

tions, ventilation and heat dissipation in machine rooms,
laundries, large kitchens, warehouses, manufacturing
plants, as well as providing moisture to print shops, textile
plants and greenhouses.
Its main advantage when included in a ventilation system

is that it requires lower air flow in circulation due to its
cooling effects. This is extremely important for human
comfort.
The humidifier essentially con-

The system requires the use of a water circulation motor
pump, which is not normally included in the supply of this
section. A price quote may be provided, however, upon
request.
To prevent the entrainment of water particles, this type of

humidifier is always equipped with a drip separator at the
air outlet as a safety measure.
The most appropriate air velocity in this type of humidifier

is 2.7 m/s, and the water flow circulated by the spray bank
is 0.8 l per m3/h of air.
Water spraying can be done either in the same or the

opposite direction of air flow, resulting in different satura-
tion efficiencies.
The use of multiple units also increases efficiency, with the

following experimental results obtained:
• One unit only, same direction as air flow 60% efficiency;

• One unit only, opposite direction as air flow 75% efficiency;
• Dual unit, same direction as air flow 84% efficiency;
• Dual unit, one in same and one in
opposite direction 90% efficiency;
• Dual unit, opposite direction to air flow 95% efficiency.
Sections with a dual unit are longer, and when spraying is

opposite to the direction of air flow, a drip separator is
located at the inlet for the section.
The examples indicated earlier for the panel humidifier,

are also useful for this type of humidifier.

Fan selection
Selection of the most appropiate fan is mainly influenced Based on two essential factors (air flow and total static

• Revolutions per minute
• Efficiency, in %

ase equipment performance, although the initial price of
the air handling unit will be higher. The energy of the electric motor used to operate the fan is
dissipated in the circulating air, and therefore affects the
cooling load of the cooling system.
In many cases, the air flow necessary for heating may be

considerably less than for cooling. In this case, a two-
speed motor can be used. This changes the fan characte-
ristics, minimising air flow during the winter season.
There are practically no limits for low-temperature operation in

the fan section. In contrast, high temperatures can damage the
motor. These temperature limits are clearly defined by electric
motor manufacturers and must be adhered to at all times.
Due to the efforts made to decrease energy costs, this fact

should not be disregarded and the potential energy
savings should be calculated, then compared with the
depreciation schedule for the investment. In many cases,
the result is highly satisfactory.
Once the fan model is selected, check the respective beha-

viour curve to obtain the unique characteristics.
