Introduction
AAF-HermanNelson Classroom Unit Ventilators
For more than 89 years, schools have relied on
AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators to keep classrooms
comfortable. Students learn more readily in a quiet, wellventilated 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
iority for school administrators and school boards.
r
p
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; scuffresistant finishes 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
per
ation and long life include:
o
• A corrosion-resistant, galvanized-steel frame.
• Extra-strength, steel-bar disc
• Heavy-gauge-metal cabinet access panels and doors.
• An extra-str

Rugged Exterior Finish
The superior finish 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 finishing process to provide lasting quality:
• Exter

The Right Amount of Fresh Air and

AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators deliver required
amounts of fresh air to meet ventilation requirement s and
added cooling capacity to maintain consistent comfort for
students and teachers. Our Economizer Operation,

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 efficiently deliver outdoor air when classroom
conditions call for “free” or economizer cooling.
With AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators, you can have
tdoor air whenever it is needed. Economize r operatio n
u
o
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 unit s equippe d
with MicroTech II controls, three levels of economizer
rol are available (see See “Economizer Modes” on

Precise Temperature and
Dehumidification Control
AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators provide precise
temperature and dehumidification 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 active dehumidification 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

Face & Bypass Design For Better
Temperature Control
When coupled with our draw-thru design, face and

control in heating. That’s because indoor and out d oo r air
streams can be separated until it is optimal to mix them.

Active Dehumidification (Reheat)
In high-humidity applications where valve-controlled,
reheat units are used, the Active Dehumidification
Control (ADC) sequence should be considered. With the
Leading Edge Microtech II controls, an inside humiditst at
compares indoor humidity (enthalpy) with outdoor
humidity to determine the economizer position.
During excessive humidity conditions
, a humidity
sensor
directs the unit to continue cooling p ast the room setpoint
to remove moisture. Hydronic heat or electric heat is
then used to reheat the discharge air to maintain
acceptable room temperatures.
Increased Coil Freeze Protection
AAF-HermanNelson units equipped with face and
bypass damper control, provide extra protection from coil
freeze-up, because there is a constant flow of hot water
through the coil, and water that is flowing typically does
not freeze. Additionally, all AAF-HermanNelson units
feature a double-walled, insulated outdoor air damper
with airtight mohair seals to prevent unwanted coil air
from entering the unit.
Furthermore, a low-temperature freezestat is factory
inst
alled on
all units with hydronic coils. Its serpentine
capillary tube senses temperatures across the leaving air
side of the coil, allowing the unit controller to react
quickly to low-temperature conditions.

Low Installation Costs
Perfect For Both New & Retrofit
Applications
New construction installations are easily accomplished
with AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators because they
avoid the added cost and space required for expensive
duct work. Further savings can be realized because
piping installations use less space than duct systems.
This is important in existing buildings and also in new
construction where floor-to-floor heights can be reduced,
saving on overall building costs.
Retrofit installations are economical because new units

Occupied Mode
This is the normal daytime operation mode. The
controller maintains a room set point using the out side air
capability and other functions.
Note: For non-school applications, the unit can also be
configured 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.
Economizer Modes
Economizer operation is facilitated by the outdoor air
damper, which automa tically adjust s the above-minimum
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 outs ide temperatures.
If the temperature comparison is satisfactory, then freeair economizer operation is used to cool the space.
Reheat units also come configured 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.
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 satisfied.
The outdoor air damper is closed during this mode.
When a cooling load is satisfied by a refrigerant system,
the compressor is de-energized and the unit ventilator
indoor fan continues to run for a fixed 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 configured 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 ServiceTools™ (see page 23) or a
network.
Night Purge Mode
Under this mode, the unit is configured 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:
Face and Bypass Control Units
Upon sensing a potential freezing air tempera tu re
condition leaving the heating coil, the unit will protect
itself by shutting the outside air damper and opening the
EOC valve. The fan continues to run to remove the cold
air. Once accomp lished, the freezestat is reset, the
outside air damper opens to the minimum position and
the unit commences its normal mode of operation.
14McQuay Catalog 1620
MicroTech II Controls
Valve Control Units
Upon sensing a potential freezing air temperature
condition leaving the heating coil, the unit will
automatically protect itself by shutting the outside air
damper and opening the hot water valve to a mini mum of
50% (more if required to heat the room). The fan speed
will be staged down to low speed and then turned off.
When the freezestat is reset, the outside air damper
opens to the minimum position and the fan runs at low
speed for a minimum of 10 minutes. It then will stage up
if needed to satisfy the room set point. This reduces the
potential to overheat a room recovering from a potential
freeze condition.
Note: Valve selection and coil sizing is critical for proper
operation. Face and bypass control is recommended for
proper freeze protection.
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 field configured and/or be disabled.
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 provided with
configuration parameters that can be adjusted to select
which function will be used for these inputs where
multiple functions are indicated below. For wiring
examples see installation manual IM 747: MicroTech II
Unit V
entilator Controller.
Unoccupied Input Signal
This input signals the unit ventilator controller to go into
unoccupied or occupied mode. When the contact s 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 dehumidification mode. When the contacts close
(high humidity) the controller will go into active
dehumidification; when the contacts open (low hu midity)
it will stop active dehumidification.
Remote Shutdown Input Signal
This input signals the unit ventilator controller to go into
shutdown mode. When the contact s 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 defined 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 provided with
configuration parameters that can be adjusted to select
which function will be used for these outputs when
multiple functions are indicated below. For wiring
examples, see installation manual IM 747: MicroTech II
Uni
t 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).
AAF-HermanNelson Model AZ Unit Ventilators15
MicroTech II Controls
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, th e
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 configured 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 Configuration variable can be used to set
the controller to use an NC auxiliary heat device
(energize when heat is required) such as electric heat.
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 CO
based on actual occupancy instead of a fixed design
occupancy. This Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV)
system monitors the amount of CO
students and teachers so that enough fresh o utdoor 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 occup a ncy pattern in
oom, the system can allow code-specific levels of
a r
outdoor air to be delivered when needed. Unnecessary
over-ventilation is avoided during periods of low or
intermittent occupancy.
With DCV you can be confident that your school is
eting ventilation standards for Indoor Air Quality and
me
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.

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 comforta ble
classrooms, as described below .
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 fa n spee d ba se d
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

Active Dehumidification Control (Reheat)
In high-humidity applications where valve-controlled,
reheat units are used, the Active Dehumidification
Control (ADC) sequence should be considered. During

MicroTech II Controls
excessive humidity conditions, a humidity sensor directs
the unit to continue cooling past the room setpoint to
remove excess moisture. Hydronic heat or electric heat
is then used to reheat the discharge air to maintain
acceptable room temperatures.
MicroTech II controls minimize th
e amount of reheat
needed to maintain relative humidity below a preset limit.
Reheat is used only when required and in the most
energy-efficient manner possible.
Active Dehumidification comes standard on units
quipped with MicroTech II controls, a reheat
e
figuration and valve-control temperature modulation.
con
The MicroTech ADC humidity sensor is unit-mounted. It
issues a signal proportional to the classroom’s humidity
level (unlike humidistats which issue an open-close
signal). This enables a control sequence that manages
both the temperature and the relative humidity.
When the relative humidity exceeds a preset value, the
efrigerant cooling activates to dehumidify the mixture of
r
outdoor and return air entering the cooling coil. The
reheat modulating water valve then opens, or electric
heat is engaged, to reheat the air leaving the cooling coil,
as required to maintain the classroom setpoint.
Active dehumidification starts when the indoor relative
umidity exceeds the preset relative humidity upper
h
setpoint and continues until the room humidity falls 5%
below the endpoint. During active dehumidification,
economizer operation is disabled (and the outdoor air
damper is reset to its minimum position) unless the
outdoor air temperature is below 55°F. It is maintained
until dehumidification is completed. When the indoor
humidity level is satisfied, the MicroTech II controller
reverts to its normal sequences to satisfy the classroom
temperature setpoint.
DX System Control
The unit ventilator controller is configured 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
defined operating envelope.
Compressor Cooling Lockout: The unit ventilator
controller is configured 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 minimum-on 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 af ter a power
failure or after an unoccupied-to-occupied changeover.
Each unit should be configured at start-up with a slightly
different (random) delay, or groups of units should be
provided with different delays.

VentiMatic™ Shutter Room Exhaust Ventilation
Outdoor air introduced by the unit ventilator must leave
the room in some way. In some states, exhaust vent s 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-
c
tuated room exhaust vent (Figure 31). It operates in
a
direct response to positive static ai
when ventilation air is brought into the room by the unit
ventilator. It is a “one-way” shutter that opposes any flow
of air into the room.
Figure 31. Ventimatic Shutter
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
inherently silent. Unlike other non-powered vents, it
opens at an extremely low positive pressure (0.005"). Its
shutter flaps are made of temperature-resistant glass
fabric impregnated with silicone rubber for flexibility and
r pressure created
Front (Indoor Side)Back (Outdoor Side)
Shutter’s operation is
long life. This fabric retains its original properties down to
-50°F.
Ventimatic Installation
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
pressure will also keep the Ventimatic Shutter closed and
prevent room air from escaping. Since the existing room
air cannot leave, excess air from the wind gust will not
enter. (In contrast, a powered exhauster would “assist”
the wind’s effect.) Same-wall mounting also minimizes
“short circuiting” of air flow that could occur with
opposite-wall mounting.
The Ventimatic Shutter is generally mounted on an AAF-
e
HermanN
then used for exhaust (Figure 32). For large unit
ventilators, two Ventimatic Shutters may be mounted
e
by side on the same wall louver to promote
sid
adequate 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 integratin
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-inchlength wall louver can be accommodated behind a 4foot-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 combination will
enable a complete, integrated, energy-efficient HVAC
and room exhaust system.

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, resultin g in exc es sive
operating costs.
Correcting an overheating problem in an existing building
ficult and expensive. It calls for redesign and
ry dif
is ve
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, five 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
first realize that the excess heat comes from what
must
is commonly termed “uncontrolled heat sources.” To gain
some perspective on how this affects heating and coo ling
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
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
ount of heat that the room loses. This is represented
m
a
in Figure 37 by Room Heat Loss Line A, which ranges
from 55,000 BTU per hour at 0°F outside air temperatur e
at
to zero BTU
70°F. Obviously, if the 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.

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 37 as “Heat Gain from Students.”
Heat Gain From Lights
Heat emitted by the lighting system constitutes a second
uncontrolled heat source. Artificial 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 tot al of 8,500 BTU per hour. This extra
heat is represented in Figure 37 as “Heat Gain from
Lights.”
Add the heat gain from lighting to the 7,800 BTU
odu
intr
ced 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.
AAF-HermanNelson Model AZ Unit Ventilators27
Application Considerations
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 difficult. Solar heat
gain can be the worst offender of the three in classrooms
with large windows. Indirect or reflected 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
ssume that the solar heat gain in our hypothetical
a
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 37 by the
top horizontal line, which intersects Room Heat Loss
ine A at approximately 37°F. This is a reasonable
L
estimate of the maximum uncontrolled heat gain that can
be received in the typical classroom from these common
heat sources.
The Analysis
From Figure 37 it is evident that, at an outside
temperature of 48°F or higher, the he
students and classroom lighting is sufficient 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
proximately 33°F in the region where our typica l
ap
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
room heat loss of 55,000 BTU/HR at a design outdoor
a
air temperature of 0°F (Room Heat Loss Line “A”). Bear
at given off by 30
in mind, however, that the recen t 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:
om “B” has a room heat loss of 45,000 BTU/HR,

We’ve noted that cooling is alway
“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 37).
Now that we understand the reason for classrooms

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 tempe rature is
nearly always below the desired room temperature. It
stands to reason then that the outsid e air should be use d
to provide the cooling necessary to keep classrooms
down to thermostat temperature.
The classroom unit ventilator does just that. By
rporating an automatically controlled outdoor air
inco
damper, a va riable quantity of outdoo r 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 specified 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 windo ws an d
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 Condition
now recommends 15 cfm of outdoor air per pu pil, a nd no
longer endorses the practice of little or no usage of
outdoor air.
It should be kept in mind that a properly designed
xhaust system is essential for avoiding indoor air quality
e
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 sh
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 infiltra tion of
undesirable gases into the classr oom. See “VentiMatic™
Shutter Room Exhaust Ventilation” on page 25.

If the room temperature rises above the thermostat

the thermostat setting.
EXAMPLE: For a 60°F entering air
and 70°F room temperature, with 30°F 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 th e
unit ventilator system at a reduced room setting at night
and during other unoccupied perio ds, su ch a s we ekend s
and holidays. Units with steam or hot-water coils will
provide convective heat during the setback period. 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.
Cycle II
ASHRAE Cycle II is a very economical sequence of
control because only minimum amounts of out door 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
rolled according to ASHRAE Control Cycle II.
cont
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 36.)
Under ASHRAE Cycle II, the outdoor air damper is
during warmup of the room. As the room
closed
temperature approaches the thermostat setting, the
outdoor air damper opens to a predetermined minimum
AAF-HermanNelson Model AZ Unit Ventilators29
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 out door 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.
Application Considerations
Temperature Modulation Devices
The temperature of the air entering the room is
modulated using one or more of the following devices:
Face and Bypass Damper Control: A modulating
damper actuator, under control of the room sensor,
positions a face and bypass damper to control the
amount of air that passes through or around the unit coil.
Valve Control : A modulating valve, under control of the
room sensor, regulates the flow of steam,or hot water
through the unit coil.
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.
Note: When unit ventilators containing electric heat are
ordered without controls (controls by others) the
contractors and relays used for staging the electric heat
are not provided. This is because the number of stages
varies based on the type and manufacturer of the control
devices. It is not possible to pre-engineer contractors
and relays for all of these variables. The control
contractor is responsible for making certain that the
controls correctly control the unit’s functions.
Room Temperature Sensor
The room temperature sensor is a device that modulates
the intensity of a pneumatic or electric signal to the
controlled components within the unit to maintain the
room sensor’s comfort setting. Room sensors can be
mounted on the wall or within the unit.
Additional Components
Additional components may be required depending on
the specific 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.
Low Temperature Protection: A low temperature limit or
freezestat senses the discharge air temperature off the
hydronic coil. If the temperature drops below 38°F, the
unit ventilator will shut down, closing the outdoor air
damper and opening the heating valve.
DX Cooling Control : This sequence switch in the
cooling control circuit energizes the condensing unit
contactor on a call for mechanical cooling.
DX Cooling Low Ambient Lockout: This lockout must be
used on DX split 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 split system cooling units to de-energize the
condensing unit (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.

When the room air temperature is above (cooling) or below (heating)

At the same time, the outdoor air damper is closed and the room air
damper is open. All air handled by the fan passes through the coil for
maximum heating or cooling.

Application Considerations
Ease Of System Balancing
With face and bypass damper control, the water in the
system is constantly circulating, which maintains a
desirable head pressure to the pumps. With fluctuating
head pressure eliminated, balancing the sys te m ca n
enable the correct quantity of water in all circuits.
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 contro l.
When the high capacity is needed the high speed will
provide high compression and full capacity cooling.
Reduced Risk Of Coil Freeze
With face and bypass damper control, there is no change
in the flow of water through the coil. Coils that have a
constant flow of water cannot freeze. On valve control
units, water left in the heating coils after the modulating
temperature control valve shuts can freeze and rupture
the coil.
Additional freeze protection is afforded by AAF-
manNelson’s double-walled cold weather outdoor
Her
damper. It has encapsulated insulation and wool mohair
end seals to help prevent unwanted cold air from
entering the unit.
A low-temperature freezestat, factory installed on all
ronic units, significantly reduces the chance of coil
hyd
freeze-up. Its wave-like configuration senses multiple
locations by blanketing the leaving air side of the coil to
react to freezing conditions.

Hot Water Reset
Hot water system controls should include a provision for
resetting the temperature of the supply hot water in
relation to the temperature of the out door air. A hot water
temperature of 100°-110°F, is suggested when the

Figure A shows the modulating valve allowing full flow through the coil

the valve opens for full flow through the coil. All air is directed through
the coil(s).
Minimum Heating
Figure B shows the outdoor air damper moved to its minimum position.
The modulating valve is still allowing full flow through the coil. Unit
ventilators normally admit the same minimum percentage of outdoor air
during the heating cycle as during the mechanical cooling cycle. All the

Freeze Protection
System freeze protection is an important consideration
on units utilizing hydronic coils. On valve-controlled units,
water left in the heating coils and exposed to freezing
outdoor air after the modulating valve shuts can freeze
and rupture the coil. Flowing water will not freeze. In
addition, it is very important to correctly size the
modulating control valve and control the supply water
temperature to provide constant water flow. If this
situation cannot be guaranteed, an antifreeze solution
must be employed to reduce the possibility of coil freeze.

balanced header design, together with additional surface
area in the air stream, increase heat transfer to satisfy
the increased need for heat.

Coil Selection
An extensive choice of coil offerings means that, with
AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators, room conditions can
be met using almost any cooling or heating source . All
coils are located safely beneath the fans and are
designed for draw-thru air flow. All coils have their own
unshared fin surfaces (some manufacturers use a
continuous fin surface, sacrificing proper heat tr an sfe r) .
The result is maximum efficiency of heat transfer, which
promotes comfort and reduces operating costs.
An air break between coils in all AAF-HermanNelson
n
its is used to enhance decoupling of heat transfer
u
surfaces—providing full capacity output, comfort and
reduced operating costs.
All water, steam and direct expansion (DX) coils are
s
tructed of aluminum fins with a formed, integral
con
spacing collar. The fins 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.
High-Quality Water Coils
AAF-HermanNelson coils rely on advanced heat transfer
to provide extra heating capacity for today’s increased
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 fin tube coil that results in reduced heat transfer. The
constant movement of the electric heating cal rod with in
the tube shortens life.)
Even Distribution Steam Coils With V acuum
Breakers
Steam distribution coils provide even distribution of
steam and even discharge air temperatures. A vacuum
breaker relieves the vacuum in the steam coil to allow
drainage of condensate. This eliminates water hammer
and greatly reduces the possibility of coil freeze-up.

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:“ASHRAE Cycle II Operation” on page 36.
During warm-up (any classroom temperature 3°F or
below heating setpoint), the outdoor air damper is
re
mo
closed and the unit conditions only room air. As room
temperature approaches the heating setpoint the out door
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 positio n to
provide economizer cooling.
ASHRAE Cycle II requires that a minimum of three
ature measurements be made:

Add
itionally, the control sequence should incorporate a
Discha
rge 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,
harge-air low-limit function will disable cooling (if
c
the dis
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 first stage of
cooling, and when to use mechanical or hydronic cooling
as the first stage of cooling.

Note: If outdoor air temperature is not adequate for free cooling,
secondary mechanical cooling can be used in place of

help maintain comfort and provide additional equipment
protection by preventing the discharge air from falling too
low (typically 55°F), and may force the outdoor air damper

Valve Control Applications
System freeze protection must be considered on valve
controlled units utilizing hydronic coils. Non-flowing water
in heating coils that are exposed to freezing outdoo r air
can freeze and rupture the coil (after the modulating
valve shuts). The modulating control valve must be
correctly sized and the supply water temperatu r e
controlled to ensure constant water flow. If this cannot be
guaranteed, use an antifreeze solution to eliminate the
possibility of coil freeze.

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 draft s and potentially
freeze coils.
Be certain that no gap is left between the unit and th e
t
side air louver opening. Otherwise, outside air can
ou
leak into the room.
A rubberized, self-adhering membrane around the
u
tside air opening can be used to seal any air or water
o
leaks that might result from construction. Provide a seal
under the unit to prevent air infiltration. In addition, seal
the unit top and side perimeters to prevent unnecessary
air infiltration 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 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.

Determine design indoor and outdoor a ir temperatur es 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 na tu ra l
cooling capacity is usually calculated for 55° or 60°F
outdoor air temperature.
Step 3: Determine Air Quantity Required
Air quantity for heating applications is determined from
circulation of a definite number of room air volumes per
hour. Table 5 gives the recommended number of room
air changes per hour.
Table 5: Recommende d Ro om Air Changes Per Hour
Type of Space
Classrooms, Offices6 to 9
Laboratories, Shops6 to 8
Cafeterias & Kitchens4-1/2 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:
In mechanical cooling applications, the total air quantity
may be determined or verified by use of the sensib le
cooling load equation:

Equation 7: CFM Based On Sensible Cooling Load
CFM
Q sensible (space)
------------------------------------------- -=
1.086xTD
Q sensible is the maximum sensible room load and T.D.
is the temperature difference between the room design
dry bulb temperature and the final 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 figure may be varied o ne 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 scho ol a pplica tio ns.
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. L
ower 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 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, 1 250
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. For units
installed for 100% recirculation, it is good practice to
increase the heating capacity by 15% to aid in quick
room warm-up. This allowance is unnecessary for units
delivering a minimum outdoor air of 20% or more, since
the outdoor air damper remains closed until the room is
up to temperature. The heat normally expended in
heating the minimum-percent outdoor air up to room
temperature is available for quick warm-up purposes.
The heating required to warm the outdoor ventilating air up
to room temperature must also be calculated. The Total
Capacity should be used in sizing, piping, boilers, etc.
Cooling Capacity
Unit cooling capacity should be selected to equal or
slightly exceed the sum of computed room sensible and
AAF-HermanNelson Model AZ Unit Ventilators43
Unit Selection
latent heat gains (Room Total Cap acity). When operatin g
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.
Step 5: Freeze Protection
Constant pump operation is required whenever the
outdoor air temperature is below 35°F. This will assist
in providing protection against freeze up of the system
water piping and coils. To reduce the possibility of water
coil freeze up on valve-controlled units, the valve must
be selected properly to provide adequate wate r flow. See
“Modulating Valve Sizing & Piping” on page 51. One of
the steps below should be followed.
Hot Water
Carry out one of the following steps to help protect
against freezing:
• Use antifreeze in the system.
• Open the hot water coil valve and close the outdoor air
mper whenever a freezing condition is sensed at the
da
coil.
Step 6: Units With Antifreeze
If ethylene glycol or propylene glycol is used, its effect
upon heating capacities and its effect on water pressure
drops through the coil and piping system must be
considered, as follows:
1 Divide the
applicable capacity correction factor shown in Tables
heating loads determined in S te p 2 by the
6 and 7 below to arrive at the calculated unit capacity
required to take care of the capacity reduction caused
by the glycol solution

Hot Water Heating Selection
For proper temperature control, do not oversize the
heating coil. Select the hot water coil that just slightly
exceeds the required heating capacity. Hot water coils
are offered in two capacities. The low-capacity (65) coil
and the high-capacity (66) coil can be used as heating
only or in conjunction with direct-expansion cooling coil.
Quick Selection Method Using MBH/∆T
Once the unit size has been selected, the MBH/∆T factor
can be utilized to quickly and accurately determine coil
size and minimum GPM, where:

Face and Bypass End-Of-Cycle Valve Sizing & Piping
Note: Piping packages can be purchased from McQuay or
provided by others
MicroTech II face and bypass damper control requires an
end-of-cycle (EOC) valve for each hydronic coil. End-ofcycle (or two position) valves are either full-open or fullclosed. To select an end-of-cycle valve:
1 Determine the flow of water and the correspond ing
pressure drop through the coil.
2 Obtain the pressure difference between the supply
and return mains.
3 Select a valve (Cv) on the basis of taking 10% of the
available pressure difference (at design flow) between
the supply and return mains at the valve location. The
valve should have a pressure drop less than or equal
to that of the coil.
Table 20 gives the pressure drops at various water flow
rates for the Cv of the valve listed. EOC valves for water
applications can be either two-way or three-way.
Refer to the EOC valve label to determine the direction of
flow. The EOC valve must be installed on the unit for
which it was selected.

Modulating Valve Sizing & Piping
Note: Piping packages can be purchased from McQuay or
provided by others
The unit ventilator control valve is expected to vary the
quantity of water that flows through the coil in a
modulating fashion. Any movement of the valve stem
should produce some change in the amount of water that
flows through the coil. Oversized control valves cannot
do this.
For example, assume that, when the control valve is fully
open, the pressure drop through the coil is twice as great
as the drop through the valve. In this case, the control
valve must travel to approximately 50% closed before it
can begin to have any influence on the water flow
through the coil. The control system, no matter how
sophisticated, cannot overcome this. Oversized control
valves can also result in hunting which will shorten the
life of the valve and actuator and possibly damage the
coil.
To correctly select the modulating valve:
Table 21: Hot Water M od ulating Valve Selection By Flow Rate
Valve Pressure Drop [ft of H2O (kPa)] at Listed Water Flow Rate [GPM (L/s)]
1 Determine the flow of water and the corresponding
pressure drop through the coil.
2 Obtain the pressure difference between the supply
and return mains.
3 Select a valve (Cv) from Table 21 on the basis of
taking 50% of the available pressure difference (at
design flow) between the supply and return mains at
the valve location. The valve should have a pressure
drop greater than that of the coil. Whenever possible
there should be at least 11 feet of water (5psi) (32.9
kPa) pressure drop across the valve.
Modulating valves for water applications can be either
2-way or 3-way. Refer to the modulating valve label to
determine the direction of flow. The modulating valve
must be installed on the unit for which it was selected.
The modulating valve furnished for steam applications is
a 2-way, normally open to the coil configuration (see
“Modulating Steam Valve Selection” on page 52 for
application).
