Identification
The 39FD, FX line of Carrier air handling units is based on a modular principle. The number of modules respectively in height and in width determines the cross-section available for air flow and encodes the unit size. The unit length is determined by the number and size of the component parts required. The service side (connections and access) is defined as right hand or left hand in the direction of the air flow.

Plate heat recovery systems

General s The plate heat recovery coil consists of several layers of plates, alternatively folded and plain so that they form flow channels. Each row of channels is arranged perpendicular to the preceding channel, and the fresh air flow and return air flow cross across the heat exchanger. Standards compliance s EUROVENT 10/1 s ENV 308 Construction s The heat exchanger consists of aluminium plate assemblies, installed diagonally in the casing. Silicone seals assure complete air tightness. The lower part of the casing forms a water-tight pan to recover possible condensate. Freeze-up Direct intake of fresh air into the unit might cause freezing of the heat exchanger. The critical temperature at which freezing might occur depends on the temperature and the relative humidity of the return air, as well as on the proportion of outside air to return air. The freeze-up zone must not be exceeded. Freezing can be prevented by increasing the fresh air temperature, either with preheat or by recycling a part of the return air or by bypassing a part of the outside air. Symbols L = length in modules, directly linked to the size of the heat recovery coil used.

Passive silencers
General s Passive sound attenuation: Passive attenuation uses the sound absorption properties of mineral fibres, permitting high-efficiency sound absorption in the high-frequency range (> 500 Hz). Construction Passive attenuation Sound attenuation is achieved with the aid of incombustible mineral wool panels (MO), inserted into galvanised frames placed parallel to the air flow direction. The surfaces exposed to the air currents are treated with glass wool to prevent corrosion. The standard thickness of the baffles is 200 mm.

A - Fans
General s Fan laws: The volume (Q) changes as the fan speed (n) changes n1 Q2 = Q1 n2 The pressure (p) changes with the square of the speed (n) n1 2 p2 = p1 ( n2 ) The absorbed power (Pabs) changes with the cube of the speed (n) n1 3 Pw2 = Pw1 ( n2 ) Q = volume, n = speed, p = pressure, Pw = power. The fan curves refer to air of a specific weight of 1.2 kg/m3 at a temperature of 20C and at atmospheric pressure of 101325 Pa and a relative humidity of 50%. Other conditions require correction.

Integrated numerical control

General s The numerical PIC control (PIC - Product-Integrated Control) is standard in all 39FD/FX air handling units from size 330 (external box on the machine for smaller sizes). The PIC control is only installed on indoor units, equipped with factory-mounted motors, selected and calculated by Carrier software. The 39FP control kit and the 39FW power kit offer many control options, including inputs, outputs, sensors, valves, actuators etc. Features s Cooling coil valve control to maintain the temperature at the setpoint value for occupied or unoccupied mode. s Heating coil valve control to maintain the temperature at the setpoint value for occupied or unoccupied mode. s Inlet guide vane control to maintain the system static pressure (variable air flow). s Variable speed controller to maintain the system static pressure (variable air flow). s Morning warm-up of the system - optimisation of starts/ stops. s Modulating mixing damper control, using either the comparison between the dry-bulb return temperature, the drybulb outdoor temperature and the outdoor air enthalpy contact or by calculation of the enthalpy differences. s Two-position fresh air damper control. s Free night-time cooling. s Clock and calendar with year, date, day of the week, hours and minutes. s Unit or remote occupied mode extension. s Programming of the unit operating mode for eight occupied/unoccupied periods. s Programming of eight occupied/unoccupied periods for supply of the optional dry contact. s Programming of holidays (18 periods). s Supply air temperature reset (variable flow) as a function of the ambient temperature. s Demand limit (only with CCN system). s Quick test tool, allowing the technician to test inputs and outputs. s Logic output, permitting all-or-nothing control of a device (e.g. two-speed fan) as a function of a setpoint or programmable timer. s Configurable alarm thresholds.
