3. Input the supply (and return if rele-vant) air volumes

4. input the maximum acceptable dimensions (if there are space limitations for the installation). In this way all ahu sizes which sat-isfy those limits will be shown. Otherwise only the basic sizes, with a face velocity near to the required one.

1. Click on Select size Select size Select size button

2. Select the size of unit according to the coil face velocity or width and height. Note that some component are not available at all sizes (right columns of the list)

1. After the size selection, the com-ponent selection menu is shown.

2. Select the components moving their icons in the layout window. The components don’t need to be placed exactly one against the other

Configurator Components selection

Component selection menu: move the icons of the components in the upper window in the order you need.

Some components show a second level window for a first specification of the single component

Layout window

1. After the components selection, proceed with their further defini-tion and calculation by clicking on Calculate Calculate Calculate button.

2. A different window for each com-ponent will appear following the direction of air, except for the fan sections which are the last to be calculated since the pressure drop of every component must be con-sidered. In this window you can input the operating data, some geometric condition (like damper position for mixing box) and select the accessories.

3. Press CalculateCalculateCalculate button on the component window

4. If the solution is satisfactory, press ConfirmConfirmConfirm to proceed with the next component, otherwise change some input and re-calculate. In some cases you can select your preferred solutions from the list at the bottom part of the window. The CancelCancelCancel button, if used on an existing selection, just confirms the previous choice.

Note: After finishing the calculation of the unit, it is stil possible to edit one single component: just click on it in the layout window; the detail will be shown and again with the button CalculateCalculateCalculate you can re-calculate it. If the new calòculation gives a different air pres-sure drop you will be asked to re-calculate the fan too.

1. When the unit has been calcu-lated you can check his dimen-sions. Click on Dimensions Dimensions Dimensions but-ton.

2. The schematic drawing of the unit appears. The ahu is already split in more sections if the transport or manufacturing rules requires it. Anyway you can decide to split in a different way the unit or just add other divisions simply by clicking on the check boxes under the unit’s sketch. Press then ShowShowShow to see the result. Every split in-creases the length of the unit by 70 mm and also its price will be higher.
