Introduction

AAF-HermanNelson Self-Contained Air Source Heat Pump Unit Ventilator

For more than 89 years, schools have relied on AAFHermanNelson unit ventilators to keep classrooms comfortable. Students learn more readily in a quiet, well-ventilated environment. That’s why Herman Nelson invented the unit ventilator and why we remain committed to meeting the changing requirements of schools with the highest quality products available.

We realize that keeping expenditures down is a high priority for school administrators and school boards. AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators are inexpensive to install and operate, and they are designed and built to provide decades of trouble-free service.

Built To Last

Our proven institutional design can withstand the rigors of the classroom environment. It features an extra sturdy chassis and double-wall damper on the inside;

scuff resistant nishes and tamper prevention features

on the outside. In fact, many units installed over 30 years ago continue to provide quiet, reliable classroom comfort.

Heavy Duty Frame Construction

AAF-HermanNelson’s exclusive, unitized welded frame is far superior to the fastener-type construction used by other manufacturers. Loosened fasteners can cause vibration, rattles and sagging panels.

Other design features that promote trouble-free operation and long life include:

• A corrosion-resistant, galvanized-steel frame.

• Extra-strength, steel-bar discharge grille.

• Heavy-gauge-metal cabinet access panels and

doors.

• An extra-strength pipe tunnel that stiffens the struc-

ture while adding aerodynamic air ow within the

unit.

• Hidden reinforcement that provides additional built-in support for the top section as well as better support for the fan deck assembly.

• A rigid exterior that is strong enough to support maintenance personnel without fear of damaging the unit.

Rugged Exterior Finish

The superior nish of the unit ventilator cabinet fosters

long-lasting beauty as well as resistance to abuse and corrosion. We apply the very highest standards at every

step of the nishing process to provide lasting quality:

• Exterior cabinet panels are fabricated from high-

quality, furniture grade steel with no sharp edges.

• A specially formulated, environmentally friendly, thermosetting urethane powder is applied electro-

statically to the exterior panels. This lm is oven-

cured to provide correct chemical cross-linking and to obtain maximum scuff- and mar-resistance.

• The top of the unit is nished with a textured, non-

glare and scuff-resistant, charcoal bronze electrostatic paint. End and front panels are available in a pleasing array of architectural colors.

• The Oxford brown steel kickplate is coated and baked with a thermosetting urethane powder paint

to blend with oor moldings and provide years of

trouble-free service.

• Each unit is painstakingly inspected before boxing, then encapsulated in a clear plastic bag, surrounded by an extra-heavy-duty cardboard box and secured to a skid to help provide damage-free shipment.

MicroTech II Control For Superior Performance, Easy Integration

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators can be equipped with MicroTech II™ unit controllers for superior performance. Factory integrated and tested controller, sensor, actuator and unit options promote quick, reliable

start-up and minimize costly eld commissioning. Our

Protocol Selectability feature provides easy, low-cost integration into most building automation systems. Select BACnet®, LonTalk® or Metasys® N2 Open communications to communicate control and monitoring information to your BAS, without the need for costly

gateways. Unit controllers are LONMARK® certied

with the optional LonWorks® communication module.

Features and Benets

GentleFlo Delivery

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators are engineered and manufactured to deliver quiet, continuous comfort. We developed our GentleFlo™ air moving system to minimize operating sound levels – even as demands for more fresh air require units to operate longer and work harder. GentleFlo features include:

• Fan wheels are large, wide and rotate at a low speed to reduce fan sound levels. They are impactresistant and carefully balanced to provide consistent performance.

• Offset, aerodynamic fan wheel blades move air

efciently (Figure 1).

• Precision tolerances help reduce ow and pressure

turbulence, resulting in lower sound levels.

Figure 1: GentleFlo Fan Technology

Expanded Discharge Air Opening

• Fan housings incorporate the latest logarithmic-

expansion technology for smoother, quieter air ow

(Figure 2).

• A large, expanded discharge opening minimizes air resistance, further lowering sound levels.

• Modular fan construction contributes to equal outlet velocities and promotes quiet operation.

• Fan shafts are of ground and polished steel to mini-

mize deections and provide consistent, long-term

operation.

• Fan assemblies are balanced before unit assembly, then tested after assembly (and rebalanced if necessary) to provide stable, quiet operation.

Features and Benets

The Right Amount of Fresh Air and Cooling

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators deliver required amounts of fresh air to meet ventilation requirements and added cooling capacity to maintain consistent comfort for students and teachers. Our Economizer Operation, Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) and Part Load, Variable Air options allow you to match classroom comfort requirements even more closely, and reduce operating costs.

This means that you can be condent that your school

is meeting ventilation standards for Indoor Air Quality and that your students are receiving adequate air to be attentive to instruction. At the same time, you are saving money in early morning hours, between classes or after hours when classrooms are heated and cooled but not always fully occupied.

Economizer Operation

It is well recognized that cooling, not heating, is the main thermal challenge in school classrooms. The typical classroom is cooled by outdoor air over half the time, even in cold climates. It is therefore essential

that unit ventilators efciently deliver outdoor air when

classroom conditions call for “free” or economizer cooling.

With AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators, you can have outdoor air whenever it is needed. Economizer operation is facilitated by the outdoor air damper, which automatically adjusts the above-minimum outside air position to provide free cooling when the outdoor air temperature is appropriate (Figure 3). On units equipped with MicroTech II controls, three levels of economizer control are available (see See “Economizer Modes” on page 14).

Figure 3: Full Economizer Mode

100% Outdoor Air Into Classroom

Part-Load Variable Air Control

Part Load Variable Air control can be used in conjunction with face and bypass damper temperature control to automatically adjust the unit ventilator fan speed based upon the room load and the room temperature. This MicroTech II control option provides higher latent cooling capabilities and quieter operation during non-peak load periods by basing indoor fan speed upon room load. Lower fan speeds in conjunction with our GentleFlo fan technology contributes to a very quiet classroom environment.

Room-temperature PI control loops determine the speed of the fan, which varies according to the room load. It also provides a built-in delay to prevent overshooting for better comfort control. The outdoor air damper’s minimum-air position is adjusted with the fan speed to bring in a constant amount of fresh air.

Precise Temperature and Dehumidication Control

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators provide precise

temperature and dehumidication control to keep

students and teachers comfortable while making maximum use of “free” outdoor-air cooling to reduce operating costs. They utilize a draw-thru fan design that contributes to even heat transfer and provides uniform discharge air temperatures into the classroom. MicroTech II control strategies and 2-stage compressor operation, provide precise control of temperature and humidity levels under both part-load and full-load conditions.

Draw-Thru Design For Even Discharge Temperatures

The AAF-HermanNelson Draw-Thru design sets our unit ventilators apart from most competitive models. With this system, fans draw air through the entire heat transfer element (Figure 4) rather than blowing it through highly concentrated areas of the coil element. The result is more uniform discharge air temperatures into the

classroom and more efcient unit ventilator operation.

Low Installation Costs

Perfect For Both New Construction (Size

024) & Retrot Applications

New construction installations are easily accomplished with the AAF-HermanNelson AEQ size 024 air source heat pump unit ventilator because of the avoided added cost and space required for expensive duct work. This is important in existing buildings and also in new construc-

tion where oor-to-oor heights can be reduced, saving

on overall building costs. Further savings can be realized because air source heat pump self-contained unit installations use less space than units that require water supply and return piping.

Retrot installations are economical because new units typically t the same space occupied by existing ones.

Built In Flexibility

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators include features

that make them easy to set up and recongure as

needed to meet special requirements. These features include:

• Built-In Wire Race A built-in metal wire race runs from one end of the unit to the other to provide extra protection for wires and protect them from unit air.

Controls Flexibility

Multiple control options—including MicroTech II controls with our Protocol Selectability feature—provide easy, low cost integration of AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators into the building automation system of your choice (See “MicroTech II Controls” on page 13). You can also operate these units individually or in a master-servant

control conguration.

With MicroTech II controls, you can select BACnet, LonTalk or Metasys N2 communications to communicate control and monitoring information to your BAS, without the need for costly gateways. Unit controllers are LONMARK certied with the optional LonWorks communica- tion module.

8 AAF-HermanNelson Model AEQ Unit Ventilator

Features and Benets

Low Operating Costs

Schools consume more than 10% of the total energy expended in the United States for comfort heating and cooling of buildings. As energy costs increase, educators are placed in a difcult position: caught between rising costs, lower budgets and the requirements to raise educational standards.

Fortunately, the technology and the system exists for schools to take control of their energy expenditures while providing a comfortable environment for learning. And that system is the AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilator.

Consider these realities of school environments:

• Most heating energy in schools is expended to heat unoccupied spaces. Because lights, computers and students give off considerable heat, occupied spaces require little supplemental heat.

• The removal of heat is usually required in occupied classrooms, even when outside temperatures are moderately cold (i.e., 35 to 40°F).

• Then consider how AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators, located in each classroom, take advantage of these realities to lower operating costs:

• They provide individual classroom control and comfort.

• They can be cycled on when the room is occupied and cycled off when it is not.

• They bring in fresh air from directly outside the classroom for high indoor air quality.

• During most of the school year, they use outdoor air to keep classrooms comfortable without the expense of mechanical cooling.

• Occupancy Mode Operation Units can be pro- grammed to operate only sparingly during unoccupied periods and at night to conserve energy.

Two-Stage Compressor

Air conditioning units are usually sized for worse case conditions. During high load requirement the unit will operate in high fan speed and high compressor capacity. Most of the time there is not a full load on the compressor. Operation in lower load will be at medium or low fan speeds which will be at the lower displacement compressor stage. The two stage compressor will remain at low speed until more cooling is required. With the two-stage compressor, the unit will run on lower fan speeds most of the time improving comfort through better humidity control and quieter operation, while minimizing issues with over-sizing.

Other units utilizing single stage compressors operate at full compressor capacity all of the time regardless of fan speed.

MicroTech II Control Options Further Reduce Operating Costs

• Many of the MicroTech II control options available with AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators can further reduce operating costs. For example:

• Economizer Operation Economizer operation automatically adjusts the above-minimum outside air position to provide free cooling when the outdoor air temperature is appropriate.

• Demand Control Ventilation By using CO2 levels to monitor the actual occupancy pattern in a room, the system can allow code-specic levels of outdoor air to be delivered when needed without costly over-ventilation during periods of low or intermittent occupancy (Figure 8).

Even “permanently” lubricated motors are supplied with recommended lubrication charts calling for lubrication every seven years. Maintenance instructions of the motor manufacturer should be followed closely.

Figure 11: Fan Deck

Heavy-Duty Discharge Grille

The discharge grille on the top of the unit is made from extra-strength steel bar stock, promoting long life (Figure 10). It can be removed to facilitate cleaning of fans and fan housings.

Figure 10: Heavy-Duty Steel Discharge Grille

Internal Fan Deck Components

Unlike with many competitive models, the motor in AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators is separate from the fan assembly and is located out of the airstream at the end of the fan shaft—away from the hot coil—for easier maintenance and removal. Locating the motor

away from the coil (Figure 11) has the added benet of

extending motor life. Our direct-coupled motor and selfaligning motor mount facilitate motor change-out. The

motor comes with a molex plug that ts all sizes and further simplies removal.

Features and Benets

Tamper-Resistant Fasteners

Front panels and top access doors are held in place by tamper-resistant, positive-positioning fasteners. They are quickly removed or opened with the proper tool, but deter unauthorized access to the unit’s interior (Figure

12).

Sectionalized Access Panels and Doors

All units have three separate front panels and hinged top access doors, sized for convenient handling by a single person (Figure 12). The result is easy, targeted access to the component that needs servicing:

• Two end panels provide easy access to piping,

temperature control components and the fan switch. Unlike units with full-length front panels, these can be removed without disturbing the normal operation of the unit.

• Hinged top access doors provide easy access

into the end compartments to facilitate convenient servicing of the motor, electrical, and refrigeration components.

• Center front panel provides easy access to the lter

and the fan shaft bearing on unit sizes 044 and 054.

Filter

Three lter types are offered:

• Units come standard with a single-use lter which is

designed to be used once and discarded.

• Optional, permanent metal lters are available and

can be removed for cleaning and reused numerous times.

• Renewable media lters, which consist of a heavy-

duty, painted-metal structural frame and renewable media.

Durable, Energy Efcient Fan Motors

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators are equipped with 115/60/1 NEMA motors that feature low operating current and wattage (Figure 14).

Figure 14: Energy-Efcient Fan Motor

Energy Efcient NEMA Motor

Decoupled Isolation System

Additional features of these motors include:

• Split-capacitor (PSC) design with automatic reset

and thermal-overload protection.

• No brushes, contacts or centrifugal starting switch-

es – the most common causes of motor failure.

• A built-in, decoupled isolation system to reduce

transmission of vibrations for quieter operation.

• A multi-tap, auto-transformer (Figure 15) provides

multiple fan motor speed control through the speed switch. The motor is independent of supply voltage, which allows stocking of one motor (school districtwide) for various voltage applications.

Figure 15: Multi-Tap Auto-Transformer

Additional features include:

• Outdoor air dampers are made of galvanized steel to inhibit corrosion, with double-wall welded construction for rigidity and encapsulated insulation (Figure 16). Additional insulation is provided on the exterior of the outdoor air damper blade and on the outdoor air entry portion of the unit.

• Room air dampers are free-oating and designed

to prevent intermittent gusts of cold air from blowing directly into the classroom on windy days (Figure 17). They are constructed of aluminum with built-in rigidity. The metal forming technique that is employed resists twisting and incorporates a fulllength counter weight for easy rotation. The simple principle of an area exposed to a force is used to automatically close the damper, rather than open it, when gusts of cold air occur.

Durable Damper Design

All dampers in AAF-HermanNelson Unit Ventilators use the turned-metal principle on their long closing edges (Figure 16). Positive sealing is provided by embedding the edge into wool mohair (no metal to metal contact). There are no plastic gaskets to become brittle with time,

sag with heat or age, or require a difcult slot t to seal.

Nylon damper bearings foster quiet, maintenance-free operation.

MicroTech II Controls

MicroTech II Controls For Superior Performance, Easy Integration

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators equipped with MicroTech II unit controllers can provide superior performance and easy integration into your building automation system of choice. MicroTech II

benets include:

• Factory integrated and tested controller, sensor,

actuator and unit options promote quick, reliable

start-up and minimize costly eld commissioning.

• High-performance features and advanced control

options can quickly pay for themselves in saved energy costs and more comfortable classrooms.

• Select from three control levels: stand-alone, master-servant or network control.

• For network control applications, our Protocol Selectability feature provides easy, low-cost integration of AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators into most building automation systems.

• Flexible BAS network communication options guard against controls obsolescence, keeping MicroTech II controls viable for the life of your AAF-HermanNelson equipment.

Three Control Levels

MicroTech II unit controllers provide the exibility to

operate AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators on any of three levels:

• As stand-alone units, with control either at the unit or from a wall sensor.

• In a master-servant relationship, where servant units follow the master unit for some or all functions.

• Controlled as part of a network using a centralized building automation system.

Stand-Alone Control

• When operating in stand-alone mode, the MicroTech II controller performs complete room temperature and ventilation control. Units can be operated in occupied, unoccupied, stand-by, or bypass (tenant override) modes. Occupied/unoccupied changeover can be accomplished:

• Manually by a unit-mounted occupied/unoccupied switch.

• Automatically by a unit-mounted occupied/unoccupied time clock.

• Automatically by a remote-mounted time clock that operates unit-mounted day/night relays.

• If a school has more than one zone, separate, remote time clocks are used to regulate each zone. In this case, the remote-mounted time clock energizes or de-energizes an external, 24-volt or 120-volt control circuit which operates the unit-mounted day/ night relays in that zone.

Master-Servant Control

Designate the master and servant units and we will

factory congure and install the controllers so they are

set up for a local peer-to-peer network between units (leaving only the network wiring between these units to

be eld installed).

Servant units can be eld-congured to be dependent or

independent as follows:

• Dependent servant units follow the master unit completely. They are ideal for large spaces that have even loads across the space (such as some libraries).

• Independent servant units (default) use master setpoints and servant sensors. The servant follows the master unit modes, such as heat or cool, but has

the exibility to provide the conditioning required for

its area within the space. Independent servant units perform better in spaces where loads vary from one area of the space to the other (such as stairwells or cafeterias).

Network Control

MicroTech II unit controllers provide easy integration into your building automation system of choice. All factory-installed options are handled by the unit control-

ler. This simplies the transmission of monitoring and

setpoint data to the building automation system. You select BACnet, LonTalk or Metasys N2 Open

communications to communicate control and monitoring information to your BAS, without the need for costly gateways (see “Optional Communication Modules” on

page 18). Unit controllers are LONMARK certied with

MicroTech II Controls

Control Modes and Functions

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators equipped with MicroTech II unit controllers can be programmed to operate in a variety of modes based on the current situation in the room and the status of the unit ventilator. Changes in mode can be triggered manually, via network signals, by sensor readings, or by date and time. External inputs and outputs can be used to change modes, communicate data to network controls or change the functional operation of the unit.

Occupancy Modes

MicroTech II unit controllers can be set up to change modes based on room occupancy. Four different occupancy modes are provided, as described below.

Occupied Mode

This is the normal daytime operation mode. The controller maintains a room set point using the outside air capability and other functions.

Note: For non-school applications, the unit can also

be congured to cycle the fan in response to the room load. In this case, the fan would normally be in the Off Mode until heating or cooling is

required. The outside air damper is always closed

when the fan is off. When the fan starts, the

outside air damper opens to the required position, usually minimum position.

Unoccupied Mode

This is the night setback operating mode, in which the unit responds to a new room set point and cycles to maintain the condition. The fan comes on when heating

or cooling is needed and runs until the load is satised.

The outdoor air damper is closed during this mode.

When a cooling load is satised by a refrigerant system,

the compressor is de-energized and the unit ventilator

indoor fan continues to run for a xed period of time to

remove coldness from the evaporator coil.

Stand By Mode

In this mode, the unit maintains the occupied mode set point temperature with the outdoor air damper closed.

The fan runs continuously unless it is congured to

cycle in response to the load.

Bypass Mode

This is a tenant override operating mode in which the unit is placed back into the Occupied Mode for a predetermined time. The default is 120 minutes. Settings can be made in 1-minute increments from 1 minute to 240 minutes through the Unit Ventilator Service Tool or a network.

Economizer Modes

Economizer operation is facilitated by the outdoor air damper, which automatically adjusts the aboveminimum outside air position to provide free cooling when the outdoor air temperature is appropriate. Three levels of economizer control are available:

Basic Economizer Operation:

The MicroTech II controller compares the inside and outside temperatures. If the temperature comparison is satisfactory, then free-air economizer operation is used

to cool the space. Reheat units also come congured

with an indoor humidity sensor.

Expanded Economizer Operation:

In addition to comparing inside and outside temperatures, outdoor relative humidity is measured to calculate outside air enthalpy. Free economizer operation is used to cool the space. This helps to minimize the entrance of humid outside air.

Leading-Edge Economizer Operation:

The MicroTech II controller compares both indoor and outdoor temperatures and indoor and outdoor relative humidities to determine if free economizer operation can cool the space with non-humid outside air. This is a true enthalpy economizer.

Night Purge Mode

Under this mode, the unit is congured to purge the

room space for one hour for various reasons (odor or fume removal, drying, etc.).During Night Purge the outside air damper is open full and the fan is run on high speed. No “normal” heating or cooling takes place (the emergency heat set point is maintained) and the exhaust fan, if the room is so equipped, is signaled to turn on.

Freeze Prevention Mode

This mode helps protect the unit ventilator from freezing air conditions. Control functions vary depending on the type of temperature control used by the unit, as follows:

Emergency Heat Mode

If the unit is left in a mode that does not normally allow heating (such as Off, Fan Only, Cool, or Night Purge) and the room temperature falls below 55°F, the unit will heat the space to above 55°F and then return to the previously set mode of operation. This mode of

operation can be eld congured and/or be disabled.

MicroTech II Controls

External Input Functions

The unit ventilator controller is provided with three (3) binary inputs that allow a single set of dry contacts to be used as a signal to it. Input signal choices are described below. Multiple units can be connected to a single set of dry contacts.

Note: Not all of the functions listed can be used at the

same time. The unit ventilator controller is pro-

vided with conguration parameters that can be adjusted to select which function will be used for

these inputs where multiple functions are indi-

cated below. For wiring examples see installa-

tion manual IM 747: MicroTech II Unit Ventilator

Controller.

Unoccupied Input Signal

This input signals the unit ventilator controller to go into unoccupied or occupied mode. When the contacts close, the unit ventilator controller goes into unoccupied mode; when the contacts open, it goes into occupied mode. Additional variables can affect occupancy mode and override this binary input. See “Occupancy Modes” on page 14.

Dewpoint/Humidity Input Signal (Optional)

This input signals the unit ventilator controller to go

into active dehumidication mode. When the contacts

close (high humidity) the controller will go into active

dehumidication; when the contacts open (low humidity) it will stop active dehumidication.

Remote Shutdown Input Signal

This input signals the unit ventilator controller to go into shutdown mode. When the contacts close, the controller goes into shutdown mode; when the contacts open, it returns to normal operation.

Ventilation Lockout Input Signal

This input signals the unit ventilator controller to close the outdoor air damper. When the contacts close (ventilation lockout signal) the controller closes the outdoor damper; when the contacts open, it returns to normal outdoor damper operation.

Exhaust Interlock Input Signal

This input signals the unit ventilator controller that an exhaust fan within the space has been energized. The controller then repositions the outdoor air damper to a user-adjustable minimum position. When the contacts close (exhaust fan on signal) the controller uses the

value dened by the Exhaust Interlock OA Damper

Min Position Setpoint as the new minimum outdoor air damper position regardless of the indoor air fan speed.

When the contacts open, it returns to normal outdoor damper operation.

External Output Functions

The unit ventilator controller is provided with three (3) binary outputs to perform the functions described below. These are relay type outputs that are intended to be used with signal level voltages only (24 VAC max).

Note: Not all of the functions listed can be used at the

same time. The unit ventilator controller is pro-

vided with conguration parameters that can be adjusted to select which function will be used for

these outputs when multiple functions are indi-

cated below. For wiring examples, see installa-

tion manual IM 747: MicroTech II Unit Ventilator

Controller.

Lights On/Off Signal

This relay output provides one set of NO dry contacts that can be used to signal the operation of the room lights. When the unit ventilator controller is in occupied, standby or bypass occupancy modes, the relay output will signal the lights on (contacts closed); when the controller is in unoccupied occupancy mode the relay output will signal the lights off (contacts open).

Fault Signal

This relay output provides NO, NC, and Common connections that can be used to signal a fault condition. When a fault exists, the unit ventilator controller energizes this relay output. When the fault or faults are cleared, it de-energizes this relay output.

Exhaust Fan On/Off Signal

This relay output provides one set of NO dry contacts that can be used to signal the operation of an exhaust fan. When the outdoor air damper opens more than the Energize Exhaust Fan OA Damper Setpoint, the relay output will signal the exhaust fan on (contacts closed). When the outdoor damper closes below this setpoint, the relay output will signal the exhaust fan off (contacts open).

Auxiliary Heat Signal

This relay output provides one set of NO dry contacts that can be used to operate an auxiliary heat device.

The unit ventilator controller by default is congured to

operate a NO auxiliary heat device (de-energize when heat is required) such as a wet heat valve actuator with a spring setup to open upon power failure. However,

the Auxiliary Heat Conguration variable can be used

to set the controller to use an NC auxiliary heat device (energize when heat is required) such as electric heat.

MicroTech II Controls

Advanced Control Options

MicroTech II controls make possible a number of advanced control options that can quickly pay for themselves in saved energy costs and more comfortable classrooms, as described below.

Part Load Variable Air Control

Part Load Variable Air control can be used to automatically adjust the unit ventilator fan speed based upon the room load and the room-temperature PI control loop. This MicroTech II control option provides higher latent cooling capabilities and quieter operation during non-peak load periods by basing indoor fan speed upon room load.

During low-load or normal operation (about 60% of the time) the fan will operate on low speed. When the load increases to an intermediate demand, the fan will automatically shift to the medium-speed setting. Under near-design or design-load conditions, the fan will operate on high speed. A built-in, 10-minute delay helps minimize awareness of fan speed changes. Lowspeed fan operation under normal operating conditions, in conjunction with our GentleFlo fan technology contributes to a very quiet classroom environment.

Demand-Controlled Ventilation (Optional)

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators can be equipped to use input from a CO2 controller to ventilate the space

based on actual occupancy instead of a xed design

occupancy. This Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) system monitors the amount of CO2 produced by students and teachers so that enough fresh outdoor air is introduced to maintain good air quality. The system is designed to achieve a target ventilation rate (e.g., 15 cfm/person) based on actual occupancy.

By using DCV to monitor the actual occupancy pattern

in a room, the system can allow code-specic levels of

outdoor air to be delivered when needed. Unnecessary over-ventilation is avoided during periods of low or intermittent occupancy.

With DCV you can be condent that your school is

meeting ventilation standards for Indoor Air Quality and that your students are receiving adequate air to be attentive to instruction. At the same time, you are saving money in early morning hours, in between classes, or after hours when classrooms are heated and cooled but not always fully occupied.

Acceptance by Codes and Standards

ASHRAE Standard 62-2004 Ventilation for Indoor Air Quality recognizes CO2 based DCV as a means of controlling ventilation based on occupancy. The ASHRAE

standard has been referenced or adopted by most regional and local building codes. This standard references ventilation on a per-person basis.

Using CO2 control will sometimes lower the absolute amount of outside air delivered into a room but will maintain the per-person rate. For example, if a classroom is designed for 30 students, the ventilation rate is 450 cfm (30 students × 15 cfm/student). However, when there are only ten students in the classroom, the CO2 control will adjust ventilation to 150 cfm (10 students × 15 cfm/student). A minimum base ventilation rate (typically 20% of design levels) is provided when in the occupied mode. This provides outdoor air to offset any interior source contamination while allowing for proper space pressurization.

DX System Control

The unit ventilator controller is congured to operate the

compressor as secondary (mechanical) cooling when economizer cooling is available, and as primary cooling when economizer cooling is not available. Additional DX control features include:

Compressor Envelope:

This helps protect the compressor from adverse operating conditions that can cause damage and or shortened compressor life. It ends compressor

operation if coil temperatures exceed the dened

operating envelope.

Compressor Cooling Lockout:

The unit ventilator controller is congured to lock out

compressor cooling when the outdoor air temperature falls below the compressor cooling lock out setpoint. Below this temperature setpoint only economizer cooling will be available.

Minimum On and Off Time:

The unit ventilator controller is provided with minimumon and minimum-off timers to prevent adverse compressor cycling (3-minutes default).

Compressor Start Delay Variable:

This variable is intended to be adjusted as part of the start-up procedure for each unit. It is used to prevent multiple unit compressors from starting at the same time after a power failure or after an unoccupied-to-occupied

changeover. Each unit should be congured at start-

up with a slightly different (random) delay, or groups of units should be provided with different delays.

MicroTech II Controls

System Components

The main components of the MicroTech II system are:

• The Unit Ventilator Controller (UVC)

• The Local User Interface (LUI)

• Optional plug-in network communication modules

In addition, unit ventilators equipped with MicroTech II controllers feature factory-mounted sensors and actuators for system control and feedback.

Unit Ventilator Controller

The MicroTech II UVC is a DDC, microprocessor-based controller designed to provide sophisticated comfort control of an economizer-equipped AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilator. In addition to normal operating control,

it provides alarm monitoring and alarm-specic

component shutdown if critical system conditions occur. Each UVC is factory wired, factory programmed and

factory run-tested for the specic unit ventilator model and conguration ordered by the customer.

Figure 18: MicroTech II Control Board

Terminal Connections Plug-In Control Module

Figure 19: User Interface Touch Pad

The User Interface has individual touch-sensitive printed circuit board mounted buttons, and comes with a built-in menu structure (Hidden Key and Password Protected) to change many of the common operating variables.

Four Operating Mode States

Four different user operating mode states can be chosen on the LUI:

Heat: Heating and economizer operation only. Cool: Cooling and economizer operation only. Fan Only: Fan only operation. Auto: The unit automatically switches between heating,

cooling and economizer operation to satisfy the room load conditions. The current unit state is also displayed.

Local User Interface

A built-in LUI touch pad with digital LED Display is located in the right hand compartment below the top right access door. In addition to the Operating Mode States and Fan Functions, the Touch Pad will digitally display:

• The room set point temperature.

• The current room temperature.

• Any fault code for quick diagnostics at the unit.

Four Fan States

Four fan states are provided on all units: high, medium low and Auto speed modulation. The Auto speed function (part load, variable air) varies the fan speed automatically to meet the room load whether the unit is in heating, cooling or economizer mode.

All this is accomplished with a standard, single-speed NEMA frame motor. A built-in 10-minute delay helps minimize awareness of speed changes. During low-load or normal operation (about 60% of the time) the fan will operate at low speed. The low speed operation, along with GentleFlo fan technology, contributes to a very quiet classroom environment.

When the load increases to an intermediate demand, the fan automatically shifts to the medium speed setting. At near-design or design-load conditions the fan will operate on high speed.

With four fan states and GentleFlo fan technology, there is no need to oversize units or worry about uncomfortable conditions.

VentiMatic™ Shutter Room Exhaust Ventilation

Outdoor air introduced by the unit ventilator must leave the room in some way. In some states, exhaust vents are required by law or code to accomplish this. The VentiMatic Shutter is a more economical solution to the problem.

• The VentiMatic shutter is a continuously variable, gravity-actuated room exhaust vent (Figure 33). It operates in direct response to positive static air pressure created when ventilation air is brought into the room by the unit ventilator. It is a “one-way”

shutter that opposes any ow of air into the room.

Figure 33: VentiMatic Shutter

Back (Outdoor Side) Front (Indoor Side)

The VentiMatic Shutter’s ability to exhaust only the amount of air required results in considerable energy savings. In the heating mode, the unit ventilator will be able to bring in only the required percent minimum outdoor air. Unlike systems that rely on powered exhaust, no energy will be wasted heating excess outdoor air. In the cooling mode, the unit ventilator will be able to bring in 100% outdoor air for full natural or free cooling when it is energy effective.

Since it is not powered, VentiMatic Shutter operation is inherently silent. Unlike other non-powered vents, it opens at an extremely low positive pressure (0.005").

Its shutter aps are made of temperature-resistant glass fabric impregnated with silicone rubber for exibility and

long life. This fabric retains its original properties down to -50°F.

VentiMatic Installation Considerations

Figure 34: VentiMatic Shutter Components

Louver ships assembled as one piece

The VentiMatic Shutter should be mounted on the same wall as the unit ventilator. This neutralizes the effect of wind pressure forcing excess air into the room through the unit ventilator louver. That’s because the wind press

air ow that could occur with opposite-wall mounting.

The VentiMatic Shutter is generally mounted on an AAFHermanNelson wall louver (ordered separately) which is then used for exhaust (Figure 34). For large unit ventilators, two Ventimatic Shutters may be mounted side by side on the same wall louver to adequately promote exhaust air capacity. The size and appearance of wall louvers and grilles used for unit ventilators and for VentiMatic Shutters are identical and present an architecturally coordinated and pleasing installation.

An ideal method of integrating the VentiMatic Shutter with the unit ventilator is to locate the shutter behind a matching open-shelf or closed-shelf storage cabinet mounted next to the unit ventilator. For example, 48-inch-length wall louver can be accommodated behind a 4-foot-high storage cabinet. The cabinet should be ordered with a slotted-type kick plate to provide a concealed exhaust air path to the shutter. This combina-

tion will enable a complete, integrated, energy-efcient

HVAC and room exhaust system

your McQuay sales representative for options.

Application Considerations

Possible Heat Gain From

Why Classrooms Overheat

Overheated classrooms occur every day in schools in every area of the country. The most serious result is their detrimental effect on students’ ability to concentrate and learn. Research has determined that the ability to learn and retain knowledge decreases rapidly as the temperature exceeds recommendations. Overheated rooms also represent wasted fuel, resulting in excessive operating costs.

Correcting an overheating problem in an existing

building is very difcult and expensive. It calls for

redesign and alteration of the heating and ventilating system, necessitating considerable renovation. This potential problem should be recognized, understood and planned for when heating and ventilating systems are designed for new and existing buildings.

Schools Have Special Needs

Schools have unique heating and ventilating needs, in large part because of their variable occupancy and usage patterns. Fewer cubic feet of space is provided per student in a school building than in any other type of commercial or public building. School classrooms

are typically occupied only six hours a day, ve days a

week, for only three-fourths of the year, with time out for vacations. All in all, this represents approximately 15% of the hours in a year that a classroom is occupied.

To understand the overheating problem in schools, one

must rst realize that the excess heat comes from what

is commonly termed “uncontrolled heat sources.” To gain some perspective on how this affects heating and cooling decisions, let’s take a look at a typical classroom in the northern section of the midwestern United States.

Suppose we have a classroom that is 24 by 38 feet with 10-foot ceilings and 100 square feet of window area along the outside wall. At an outside temperature of 0°F and a desired room temperature of 72°F, let’s assume the normal amount of heat loss from the room to the outside is 55,000 BTUs per hour.

As the outside temperature changes, so does the amount of heat that the room loses. This is represented in Figure 40 by Room Heat Loss Line A, which ranges from 55,000 BTU per hour at 0°F outside air temperature to zero BTU at 70°F. Obviously, if the

Heat Gain From Students

Note: As this chart illustrates, even in very cold weather

an occupied classroom is more likely to require cooling than heating.

Heat From Students

Body heat generated by students in a classroom is one of the three primary sources of uncontrolled heat. In a typical classroom of 30 students, the amount of heat given off at all times will vary according to factors such as age, activity, gender, etc. A conservative estimate is 260 BTU per hour per pupil. Multiply this by 30 and you get a total of 7,800 BTU per hour added to the room by the students alone. This excess heat is noted in Figure 40 as “Heat Gain from Students.”

Heat Gain From Lights

Heat emitted by the lighting system constitutes a

second uncontrolled heat source. Articial lighting

is needed in most classrooms even during daylight hours to prevent unbalanced lighting and eye strain. A typical classroom requires approximately 2,500 watts of supplemental lighting to provide properly balanced lighting. Fluorescent lights add heat to the room at the rate of 3.4 BTU per watt per hour, or a total of 8,500 BTU per hour. This extra heat is represented in Figure 40 as “Heat Gain from Lights.”

Add the heat gain from lighting to the 7,800 BTU introduced by student body heat and we now have an extra 16,300 BTU/HR being introduced into the classroom by uncontrolled sources. This heat gain remains constant regardless of the outdoor air temperature.

heating system were the only source of heat in the classroom, the solution would be simple: The room thermostat would cause the heating system to supply exactly the amount of heat required to maintain the room at the thermostat temperature setting. In reality, the introduction of excess heat from a variety of uncontrolled sources makes the challenge considerably more complex.

28 AAF-HermanNelson Model AEQ Unit Ventilator

Solar Heat Gain

The sun is a third uncontrolled source of heat. And, because it is neither positive nor constant, calculating

its contribution to the overall heat gain is difcult. Solar

heat gain can be the worst offender of the three in

classrooms with large windows. Indirect or reected

Application Considerations

solar radiation is substantial even on cloudy days, even in rooms with north exposure, as a result of what is termed “skyshine.”

To get an idea of the potential effect of the sun, let’s assume that the solar heat gain in our hypothetical classroom will peak at 240 BTU/HR per square foot of glass area. If we then assume a glass area of 100 square feet and at least 100 BTU/HR per square foot of glass for solar heat gain, we can calculate a very conservative estimate of 10,000 BTU/HR heat gain through windows. If we add this to the heat from the lights and body heat, total heat gain adds up to 26,300 BTU/HR from sources other than the heating and ventilating system. This is indicated in Figure 40 by the top horizontal line, which intersects Room Heat Loss Line A at approximately 37°F. This is a reasonable estimate of the maximum uncontrolled heat gain that can be received in the typical classroom from these common heat sources.

The Analysis

From Figure 40 it is evident that, at an outside temperature of 48°F or higher, the heat given off by

30 students and classroom lighting is sufcient to

cause overheating. This is true even if the classroom is occupied at night when solar heat gain is not a factor. But, since classrooms are occupied during the day, solar addition provides heat in varying amounts even in classrooms with north exposures. Consequently, the heating and ventilating system in our typical classroom must provide cooling at all times when the outdoor temperature is above 48°F and at any time during colder weather when the solar heat gain exceeds room heat loss.

If we assume an average winter temperature of approximately 33°F in the region where our typical classroom is located, we know that, half of the time, both night and day, the outside temperature will be above 33°F. However, since it is generally warmer during the day, when school is in session, the heating and ventilating system will be required to provide cooling for this classroom during much of the time that the room is occupied.

In this example, we’ve assumed that our classroom had a room heat loss of 55,000 BTU/HR at a design outdoor air temperature of 0°F (Room Heat Loss Line “A”). Bear in mind, however, that the recent trend in “energy-

saving” building design often results in rooms with lower room heat loss, as indicated by Room Heat Loss Lines “B”, “C” and “D.” At 0°F design outdoor air temperature:

• Room “B” has a room heat loss of 45,000 BTU/HR

• Room “C” has a room heat loss of 35,000 BTU/HR

• Room “D” has a room heat loss of 25,000 BTU/HR

Note: The lowering of the temperature above which

cooling will always be required as the room heat loss decreases.

We’ve noted that cooling is always required in Classroom “A” when outdoor air temperatures exceed 48°F. In Classroom “B,” “C,” and “D” cooling is always required when outdoor temperatures exceed 44°, 36° and 23°F, respectively (Figure 40).

Now that we understand the reason for classrooms overheating, the solution is simple: The heating and ventilating system must provide cooling to take care of the heat given off in the classroom by uncontrolled heat sources.

Cooling The Classroom

The AAF-HermanNelson Unit Ventilator has become a standard for heating and ventilating systems in schools because it provides the solution for overheating classrooms. The unit ventilator cools as well as heats. During the heating season the outdoor air temperature is nearly always below the desired room temperature. It stands to reason then that the outside air should be used to provide the cooling necessary to keep classrooms down to thermostat temperature.

The classroom unit ventilator does just that. By incorporating an automatically controlled outdoor air damper, a variable quantity of outdoor air is introduced in the classroom, metered exactly to counteract overheating. Since our problem is more one of cooling than of heating, it is evident that more than just the room heat loss must be determined to design a good heating and ventilating system. The cooling requirements should be assessed as well, and the

free-cooling capacity of the equipment specied along

with the heating capacity required. If this is done, the optimum learning temperature can be maintained in each classroom.

Application Considerations

Meeting IAQ Requirements

Good indoor air quality (IAQ), which is important in the home and at work, is no less important to students and faculty in schools. For the past several years, efforts to reduce energy costs in new school buildings have seen the use of tighter construction, sealed windows and heavier insulation. While these construction techniques have helped reduce energy costs, tightly sealed buildings, or envelopes, when combined with increased use of recirculated air, can lead to unhealthy air.

For this reason, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) now recommends 15 cfm of outdoor air per pupil, and no longer endorses the practice of little or no usage of outdoor air.

It should be kept in mind that a properly designed exhaust system is essential for avoiding indoor air quality problems. Simply put, if room air is not being exhausted in a prescribed fashion, fresh outside air cannot be introduced into the room. Likewise, an excessive amount of outside air will be admitted, wasting energy.

The AAF-HermanNelson Ventimatic shutter, a gravity-actuated room exhaust vent, can solve both these problems. The Ventimatic shutter allows the correct amount of outdoor air to be brought into the room while maintaining a slight positive pressure in the room. This slight positive pressure, maintained during normal operation, can also help prevent the

inltration of undesirable gases into the classroom. See

“VentiMatic™ Shutter Room Exhaust Ventilation” on page 24.

Following ASHRAE Control Cycle II

ASHRAE Cycle II is a very economical sequence of control because only minimum amounts of outdoor air are heated and free outdoor air—natural cooling—is available to offset the large internal heat gain associated with the dense occupancy of classrooms.

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators are normally controlled according to ASHRAE Control Cycle II. ASHRAE control cycles apply only to heating, heatingand-ventilating and free-cooling operation. (For more information on the ASHRAE Control Cycle II sequence, see Figure 42 on page 33.)

Under ASHRAE Cycle II, the outdoor air damper is closed during warmup of the room. As the room temperature approaches the thermostat setting, the outdoor air damper opens to a predetermined minimum percentage of outside air. The heating coil capacity controller then modulates to maintain the thermostat setting.

If the room temperature rises above the thermostat setting, the heating coil is turned off and the outdoor air damper opens beyond the minimum position to maintain the thermostat setting.

EXAMPLE: For a 60°F entering air mixture temperature and 70°F room temperature, with 30°F outdoor air temperature, 25% outdoor air will produce the 60°F mixture air temperature. When the outdoor air temperature drops to 10°F, 12.5% outdoor air will produce the 60°F mixture air temperature.

Night Setback

Substantial fuel savings can be realized by operating the unit ventilator system at a reduced room setting at night and during other unoccupied periods, such as weekends and holidays. If the space temperature falls below the setting of the unoccupied thermostat, the unit fans will be brought on to provide additional heat. Units with electric heat coils do not provide convective heat. The electric coil and the unit fans will be brought on to maintain the thermostat setting.

Typical Temperature Control Components

In general, unit ventilators require the following basic DDC electrical components in order to operate on any of the standard unit ventilator ASHRAE cycles of control. The control components listed in this section are for familiarization purposes only and should not be construed as a bill of material.

Outdoor Air Damper Actuator

This is a modulating device under the control of the room and discharge sensors. It positions the outdoor air damper to admit the amount of outdoor air required at any given point in the control cycle. The room air damper is mechanically linked to the outdoor air damper, which permits the use of a single actuator. Electric actuators should be of the spring-return type so that the outdoor air damper closes whenever the electric power supply to the unit is interrupted.

Discharge Airstream Sensor

This device overrides the room sensor and modulates the outdoor air damper toward the closed position when the unit discharge air falls to a potentially uncomfortable temperature.

30 AAF-HermanNelson Model AEQ Unit Ventilator

Application Considerations

Electric Heat Step Control:

A modulating step controller, under control of the room sensor, steps individual electric heating elements on and off as required. Staging relays are sometimes used in lieu of a step controller.

Additional Components

Additional components may be required depending on

the specic application. They include:

Room Temperature Sensor Chamber:

When the Room Temperature Sensor is to be mounted within the unit ventilator rather than on the wall, it is located behind a series of holes in the unit front panel with the sensing element sealed within the room temperature chamber. The room temperature chamber is a standard feature with units furnished with MicroTech II controls. All units come with a factory mounted room temperature sensor.

DX Cooling Low Ambient Lockout:

This lockout must be used on DX systems to lock out the condensing unit when the outdoor air temperature is below 64°F (17.5°C). This device must be integrated into the control system so that the unit has full ventilation cooling capability during the lockout period.

DX Low Temperature Limit:

This limit must be used on DX cooling units to deenergize the compressor when the refrigerant falls below freezing. DX units with MicroTech II controls have a factory-installed sensor on the return bend of the DX coil that provides a sample of the coil’s temperature.

Two Stage Compressors

Our self-contained units with the two-stage compressor will run on lower fan speeds up to 70% of the time, improving comfort through better humidity control and quieter operation, while minimizing issues with over sizing. The unit is designed to operate in low compression mode while in medium and low fan speed. The reduced cooling capacity in the medium and low fan speed will allow the system to run longer at moderate and low load conditions providing better humidity control. When the high capacity is needed the high speed will provide high compression and full capacity cooling.

Coil Selection

All coils have their own unshared n surfaces (some manufacturers use a continuous n surface, sacricing proper heat transfer). The result is maximum efciency

of heat transfer, which promotes comfort and reduces operating costs.

An air break between coils in all AAF-HermanNelson units is used to enhance decoupling of heat transfer surfaces—providing full capacity output, comfort and reduced operating costs.

Direct expansion (DX) coils are constructed of

aluminum ns with a formed, integral spacing collar. The ns are mechanically bonded to the seamless copper

tubes by expansion of the tubes after assembly. Fins are rippled or embossed for strength and increased heat transfer surface.

Long Lasting Electric Heating Coils

With our draw-thru design, electric coils are directly exposed to the air stream. They come with a built-in switch to de-energize the coil when the center front panel is removed. A unit-mounted disconnect switch is included. A continuous electric sensory element for high temperature is not required because the air is drawn smoothly and evenly across the coils, prolonging life. (Blow-thru designs use cal rods inserted into the tube of

a n tube coil that results in reduced heat transfer. The

constant movement of the electric heating cal rod within the tube shortens life.)

Meeting AHRI 840 Requirements

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators are rated per AHRI Standard 840. Per this standard, unit ventilators with outside air ventilation and return air dampers must provide ventilation air at a rate of minimum of 80%

rated standard air ow. They must also be capable

of providing any combination of humidity control,

circulation, heating or cooling, and ltering of air.

Meeting IBC Seismic Requirements

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators can be specied,

as follows, to meet International Building Code seismic requirements:

• All components included in these unit ventilators are designed, manufactured and independently tested,

rated and certied to meet the seismic compliance

standards of the International Building Code.

• Components designated for use in systems that are life safety, toxic, high hazard, combustible or am-

mable meet the on line, anchorage and load path requirements for life safety as dened in IBC sections 1621.1.6, 1621.3.3,1707.7.2. and IBC Commentary, Volume II, section 1621.1.6, IBC notes pertaining to the release of hazardous material.

• All components used as part of a system other than the above meet as a minimum, all load path and anchorage standards for components as outlined in IBC section 1621.3.3 & 1707.7.2.

• All completed component assemblies are clearly labeled for eld inspection. Seismic Compliance Labels include the manufacturer's identication, designation of certied models, denitive information

describing the product's compliance characteristics, and the Independent Certifying Agency's name and

report identication.

Determine the location of the holes based on clearance, and the existence of the unit bottom plate, and as close to the front edge of the unit as possible. Vacuum the concrete dust that remains, so it is not drawn into the unit components upon start up.

Using a power drill with a 5/16" hex socket bit, secure the right and left ends of the unit with two (2) (contractor supplied) 1/4" dia. x 2" x 5/16" hex washer head masonry screws (or equivalent). Tighten the

screws down until the unit is secure to the oor, without

distorting the unit bottom plate.

Application Considerations

ASHRAE Cycle II

We strongly recommend that ASHRAE Cycle II be implemented with all unit ventilators using controls by others. ASHRAE Cycle II is a very economical sequence since only the minimum amount of outside air is conditioned and free natural cooling is available. See Figure 42:

During warm-up (any classroom temperature 3°F or more below heating setpoint), the outdoor air damper is closed and the unit conditions only room air. As room temperature approaches the heating setpoint the outdoor air damper opens to a position that permits a predetermined minimum amount of outside air to be drawn in. Unit capacity is then controlled as needed to maintain room setpoints. If room temperature rises above room cooling setpoint, and the outside air is adequate for economizer cooling, then the outdoor air damper may open above the minimum position to provide economizer cooling.

ASHRAE Cycle II requires that a minimum of three temperature measurements be made:

Figure 42: ASHRAE Cycle II Operation

1 Classroom temperature. 2 Unit discharge air temperature. 3 Outdoor air temperature.

The control sequence should incorporate a Discharge Air Low Limit function which requires a discharge air temperature sensor and can override classroom temperature control in order to maintain a discharge air temperature setpoint of 55°F (ventilation cooling 45°F mechanical cooling).

When the discharge air temperature drops below 55°F, the discharge-air low-limit function will disable cooling (if enabled) and modulate the unit’s heating capability as needed to maintain the 55°F discharge-air setpoint regardless of room temperature.

If the unit’s heating capability reaches 100%, then the discharge air low-limit function will modulate the outdoor air damper toward closed to maintain the 55°F discharge air setpoint. Outdoor air temperature is used

to determine when to use economizer as a rst stage

of cooling, and when to use mechanical or hydronic

cooling as the rst stage of cooling.

Typical Outdoor Air Damper Operation

A Outdoor air damper closed. B Outdoor air damper at minimum position. C Economizer function is increasing the outdoor

air damper position.

Note: If outdoor air temperature is not adequate for

free cooling, secondary mechanical cooling can be used in place of economizer cooling. A low discharge air function is used to help

maintain comfort and provide additional equip-

ment protection by preventing the discharge

air from falling too low (typically 55°F), and may force the outdoor air damper toward

closed to maintain the discharge air tempera-

ture regardless of room temperature.)

Unit Installation

Carefully arrange the location and installation of each model AEQ unit to provide convenient service access for maintenance and, if necessary, removal of the unit. The installation consists of four basic elements in the following order:

1. Louver

2. Galvanized Wall Sleeve

3. Horizontal Air Splitters by others (if required)

4. AEQ Self-contained Unit Ventilator

The louver brings in outdoor air for the condenser fan section and ventilation air to the classroom while providing a path for heated condenser air to exit.

The Wall Sleeve secures the unit, provides a watertight and air tight seal to the building and brings in electrical and control wiring (if required). It contains the unit main power disconnect switch which is located in the wall

sleeve junction box. All eld electrical connections are

made inside this box. Horizontal Air Splitters provide proper air paths and

minimize air recirculation. The AEQ self-contained unit ventilator provides comfort

cooling and heating for the space. The Model AEQ unit

is designed to be installed into or up against an exterior wall. The louver, air splitters (if required) and wall sleeve are installed before the AEQ unit is installed.

On many jobs, the louver and wall sleeve are shipped ahead of the unit itself. Installation instructions for these components are shipped with the individual components included in this publication.

The following are general instructions for suggested applications. In all cases, good engineering practices and local codes must be followed.

Lintels

When brickwork is built up to the top of the intake, lintels must be used above the wall louvers. While the wall

is still wet, nish the brick on the top, bottom and both

sides of the intake opening with 1/2" cement mortar. With the standard location of the wall louver, the bottom of the intake opening must slope from the louver frame up toward the intake opening to a point 1" above the

nished base of the unit.

If a metal sleeve connection is to be used between the unit ventilator and the wall louver, this sleeve must be installed after the unit ventilator is set, making a weather-tight connection to the unit ventilator cabinet. Turn the sleeve over the edge of the louver frame by

proper peening before the louver is nally installed.

Wall Louvers

The outdoor air wall louver is usually set directly back of the unit ventilator. The position of the wall louver is determined in general by the building construction. The top of the lower channel of the louver frame should be at least 1/2" below the level of the inlet to the unit ventilator.

However, if a high intake opening is necessary, the top of this opening should be not more than 28" above the surface upon which the unit ventilator will set.

Application Considerations

Interior Considerations

The interior wall surface behind the unit ventilator must be smooth and level. A wall that is slightly out of plumb can cause major problems with outside air leakage into the room and unit. This could cause drafts and potentially freeze coils.

Be certain that no gap is left between the unit and the outside air louver opening. Otherwise, outside air can leak into the room.

A rubberized, self-adhering membrane around the outside air opening can be used to seal any air or water leaks that might result from construction. Provide a seal

under the unit to prevent air inltration. In addition, seal

the unit top and side perimeters to prevent unnecessary

air inltration due to uneven walls.

Indoor Air Exhaust Considerations

All outdoor air introduced by the unit ventilator must leave the room in some way. In some states, exhaust

Wall Sleeve Arrangements

vents are required by law. In states where vents are not required by law, a decision must be made about how best to handle this problem.

The venting system chosen should have the ability to exhaust varying amounts of air equal to the amount

of outside air introduced by the oor unit ventilator. A

constant volume system, such as a powered exhaust, is unable to respond to changing conditions. It will either exhaust too much air, resulting in a negative pressure, which draws in more outdoor air than desired. Or, it will exhaust too little air, resulting in increased positive pressure, which restricts the amount of outside air being brought into the room.

The AAF-HermanNelson Ventimatic shutter is a more economical solution to the problem. See “Ventimatic™ Shutter Room Exhaust Ventilation” on page 24 for information on this system and its proper installation.

AAF-HermanNelson Model AEQ Unit Ventilator 43

Unit Selection

Selection Procedure

Step 1: Determine Design Conditions

Determine design indoor and outdoor air temperatures in accordance with established engineering practices, as outlined in the ASHRAE Guide or other authoritative source. Indoor temperatures of 80°F dry bulb, 67°F wet bulb for summer and 70°F dry bulb for winter usually are acceptable for design or peak load conditions, even though the expected operating conditions of the system may be somewhat different.

Step 2: Determine Heating and Cooling Loads

Calculate design winter heating losses and summer cooling loads in accordance with the procedures outlined by the ASHRAE Guide or other authoritative source. Perhaps the greatest consideration in calculating design loads is solar heat gain. August solar heat values might be used for summer cooling loads, but should not be used for ventilation air or “natural cooling” capacity calculations; since these cooling loads reach their maximum in the spring and autumn months. The natural cooling capacity is usually calculated for 55° or 60°F outdoor air temperature.

Equation 7: CFM Based On Sensible Cooling Load

1.086 x TD

Q sensible (space)

CFM =

Q sensible is the maximum sensible room load and T.D. is the temperature difference between the room design

dry bulb temperature and the nal or leaving-air dry bulb

temperature. For these calculations, a T.D. of 20°F is usually assumed to be desirable to avoid delivering air

too cold for comfort. This gure may be varied one or

two degrees for reasons of practicality.

Note: The sensible load used in the preceding equation

is the space load and excludes the ventilation load.

Most areas have ventilation codes which govern the amount of ventilation air required for school applications. For other than school applications or areas not having codes, the ASHRAE Guide may be used for authoritative recommendations and discussion of the relation between odor control and outdoor air quantities.

The minimum outdoor air quantity recommended by ASHRAE is 15 CFM per person. Lower percent minimum outdoor air settings are more economical. In the interest of economy, it may be desirable to use lower percent minimums if there are no ventilation codes.

Step 3: Determine Air Quantity Required

Air quantity for heating applications is determined from

circulation of a denite number of room air volumes per

hour. Table 26 gives the recommended number of room air changes per hour.

Table 26: Recommended Room Air Changes Per Hour

Type of Space

Classrooms, Ofces 6 to 9

Laboratories, Shops 6 to 8 Cafeterias & Kitchens 4-1/2 to 7

For rooms facing east, south or west, the higher values shown in the table should be used so adequate ventilation cooling will be available to prevent overheating during mild sunny weather. The following equation is helpful to determine the CFM air delivery for any given rate of circulation:

Equation 6: CFM For Given Rate Of Circulation

Room Volume (cu ft) × Room Changes per Hour

In mechanical cooling applications, the total air quantity

may be determined or veried by use of the sensible

cooling load equation:

Recommended number of

room air changes per Hour

= CFM

Step 4: Select Unit Size

The unit should be selected to meet or exceed the CFM delivery requirement previously determined. All model types are available with nominal capacities of 1000, 1250 and 1500 CFM. Unit sizes 024, 036, 044 and 054.

Heating Capacity

Unit heating capacity should be selected to equal or slightly exceed the computed room heat loss. The heating required to warm the outdoor ventilating air up to room temperature must also be calculated.

Cooling Capacity

Unit cooling capacity should be selected to equal or slightly exceed the sum of computed room sensible and latent heat gains (Room Total Capacity). When operating on the mechanical cooling cycle, the control system introduces a constant amount of outdoor air for ventilation. The latent and sensible heat gain from this outdoor ventilation air must be added to the room total cooling load before choosing the proper capacity unit.
