QUALITY
The quality and reliability of any system depends
on the quality of the component parts. Therefore,
inline with other Carrier products our 39F Series
Air Handlers are manufactured in conformity with
Carriers Quality concept with vendor items
subjected to rigorous inspection. Components
installed in Air Handlers are manufactured, tested
or rated in compliance to international standards.
FLEXIBLE MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
This adaptable unit design which is based upon a
wide range of standard panel sizes frequently
enables Carrier to offer several configurations of
unit height and width, so that the aesthetic or
practical dictates of confined plant room space or
rooftop silhouettes can be easily met.
Major sections of the Air Handling Unit such as
fan, coil, filter, etc, can be arranged in the sequence
dictated by the job requirements, and separated by
access sections where necessary, giving complete
flexibility of design.
The units can be delivered in sections for indoor or
outdoor installation, completely assembled,
partially assembled or knocked-down for on-site
assembly.
RIGID AND LEAKTIGHT CONSTRUCTION
The Carrier series 39F Air Handling Unit is
fabricated from heavy gauge galvanized powder
painted steel sheet, which is folded to form sturdy
side, top and bottom panels and a rigid Penta
Post supporting frame.
Panels and frame are secured using internally
bolted fixings so that welding is minimized and the
integrity of the galvanized finish is maintained.
Gasket liner between panels and frame ensures
excellent leaktight and also as thermal and acoustic

insulation. This bolted construction, and the use of

standardized components facilitates the removal of
panels for maximum access to fans, coils, filters,
etc.
WIDE RANGE OF SIZES
23 standard sizes provide air quantities from,

1000 m3/hr to 78,810 m3/hr cooling duty

Carrier 39F

Dimensions

GENERAL

Example:

The physical size and internal dimensions of the

Air Handling Unit is determined by the number of
modules. Each module has a constant value of
315mm. Module dimensions are the same for both
39FD and 39FX series but the external dimensions
will be different due to different panel thickness.

Consider unit 39FD360 with 8 modules long,

The length of the unit is found from the sum of

component part (in modules) required.

In the case of 39FX series, replace 25 mm with 50

mm.

Height = (3 x 315 mm) + (2 x 25 mm) = 995 mm

Width = (6 x 315 mm) + (2 x 25 mm) = 1940 mm
Length = (8 x 315 mm) + (2 x 25 mm) = 2570 mm

Filters

GENERAL

Recommended filters for 39F Air Handling Unit

are tested by AFTL (American Filter Testing
Laboratory) as per ASHRAE 52.1-1992 test
method for performance, arrestance grade and
flame protection. The media is made of synthetic
polyester fiber (except for metallic filter media)
with no electro-static present, non-flammable,
washable and heat resistant up to 1000C.

Standard filter type for 39F Air Handling Units are:

Flat pre-filter 100% synthetic media,
washable, flame retarded, and U.L.Class 2
Rated.
Metallic Aluminum media, washable and
rust proof.
V-pleated - 100% synthetic media, washable,
flame retarded, and UL Class 2 Rated.

Soft bag Synthetic or fiber media, flame

retarded, and U.L. Class 2 Rated (from 50% up
to 65% Efficiency) and U.L. Class 1 Rated
(from 85% up to 95% Efficiency).
Rigid bag - Synthetic polyester media, flame
retarded, and U.L. Class 1 and 2 Rated.
Absolute will depend to the application.
Please contact Carrier office for further
information.

It is important to know the type and size of

particles in order to select the correct filter type.

Efficiency

ASHRAE 52.1-92 FILTER TEST METHOD

The definition of filter efficiency is the capability

of the filter to retain particles. The filter efficiency
is supplied together with an indication of test
method being used or else the definition is
meaningless.

ASHRAE test method is the procedure by which

practically all filter manufacturers describe the
filter performance.
Eurovent classification of
filters established filter categories that based on
ASHRAE test method. These categories are:

quantity of retained dust

Efficiency (%) = ----------------------------------x 100
total emitted quantity of dust

EU1 = Arrestance less than 65%

EU2 = Arrestance from 65% up to 80%
EU3 = Arrestance from 80% up to 90%

Pressure drop
The loss pressure drop through filters is a function
of the air velocity and the state of filter saturation.
In selecting fans for air handling units, it is
recommended that pressure loss through filters is
taken as 150% of the pressure loss of clean filters.

EU4 = Arrestance from 90% or greater

EU5 = Efficiency from 40% up to 70%
EU6 = Efficiency from 60% up to 80%
EU7 = Efficiency from 80% up to 90%

Saturation time

EU8 = Efficiency from 90% up to 95%

Saturation time is an indication of the capacity of

the filter to hold a certain amount of dust during a
given time and at a given air velocity. The
saturation time depends on the degree of site
pollution. This data is essential for establishing life
expectancy and preservation of filter efficiency.

EU9 = Efficiency greater than 95%

RECOMMENDATION

INSTALLATION

Filters should always be installed inside the air

handling units. Absolute filters should be supplied
with a prefilter of an opacimetric efficiency of 80
to 85%.

Depending on the type of filter, the following

recommendations are made:

The amount of dust accumulated should regularly

be checked by measuring the pressure drop across
the filter and this should not exceed 300 Pa.
The pressure drop on absolute filters should not
exceed twice the clean pressure loss. These
recommendations refer to normal air contamination
in average urban areas. Special solutions must be
sought for air contamination created in industrial
locations.
Filters exposed to high radiant temperature (above
120C) such as steam coils, electric resistance
heaters or similar, should be protected by inserting
a heat rejecting screen between the heat source and
the filter (optional feature).

Carrier 39F

Fans

GENERAL
Fans offered for the 39F Air Handling Units are
from high performance centrifugal fans. The fan
quality, airside and acoustics performances of the
fans are tested in compliance with international
standard either AMCA or DIN. The fans are
able to operate in a temperature range of 20C to
+80C. Fan housing is made of galvanized steel;
phosphated with lap joint and treated with high
quality are anti-corrosion protected.

Construction
1.

Fan casings are constructed of galvanized steel

with a series of punched holes or nutserts
allowing the fixing of accessories such as
frames or support legs thus providing a variety
of discharge positions.

2.

The impeller is galvanized finished for forward

curve blade and epoxy painted for backward
airfoil blade. All impeller are statically and
dynamically balanced to the operating fan
speed as a single unit to specification G25 in
accordance to DIN ISO Standard 1940.

3.

Both forward and backward impellers are with

laminar design and airfoil impellers are with
aerodynamic design.

4.

Fans are securely fixed to mild steel shaft

machined to close tolerance (g6) and coated
with colored wax to protect from corrosion.
Shafts are precision trued and ground. The
drive side is machined to fit standard V-belt
pulleys and the shaft ends are grooved and
keyed.

5.

Types of bearing supplied as standard depend

on fan class and size, and another type
supplied as an option,
Standard Fan - size 160 to 1000 for
forward and backward curve fans (airfoil
fan up to size 710). Radial insert ball
bearings with spherical outer ring
mounted within cast iron housing
supported from the fan casing by tabular
struts.
Option Fan - size 400 to 1000 (reinforced
airfoil fan). Self-aligning double row ball
bearing secured by adapter sleeve,
mounted within cast iron housing.
Option Fan - size 400 to 1000 (optionsuper reinforced). Self-aligning double
row ball bearings within standard
plummer blocks, mounted on robust
pedestal.
All
bearings are pre-lubricated and
maintenance free. Nominal life expectancy is
designed up to 40,000 L10 operating hours
(according to DIN ISO 281 Section 1). Rated
bearing life can reach up to 200,000 L10 hours.

6.

Fan Laws

For a given distribution system and specific air

weight, the following laws in relation to
volume, pressure and fan power applied
dependent upon fan speed.

The volume (V) changes as the fan speed (n)

changes
n2
V2 = V1
n1

The pressure (p) changes with the square of the

speed (n)
n2 2
P2 = P1

n1

The absorbed power (PW) changes with the

cube of the speed (n)
n2 3
Pw2 = Pw1

n1

As the specific weight of the air changes, the

air quantities remain constant.
The pressure and the absorbed power change
with the specific weight.

mounted directly inside each inlet cone with no
external projection. The vane blades are nonaerofoil, galvanized metal pieces which run in
plastic bearings to reduce chatter sound. The
blades can be adjusted from 0 to 90 angle by a
single actuator for double inlet or hand control
if required.

connection. Supply air duct can be directly
connected to the discharge panel flange.
Standard fan and motor casing is supplied with
hinged access door at drive side.
RECOMMENDATIONS

INSTALLATION

The air to be handled in the unit must be clean

and non-corrosive.

Fan, motor and drives are mounted on a fan and

motor base (FMB) that is isolated from the Air
Handling Unit by a set of anti vibration isolators at
the bottom and fan discharge is connected to the

Each Air Handling Unit can have a choice of

several fan types with best efficiency and lowest
sound level should be selected for a specific
installation.

RECOMMENDATIONS
For standard or customized coils, recommended
maximum allowable face velocity is:
v = 4.5m/s

heating coil or dry coil

v = 3.15m/s

dehumidifying cooling coils with

droplet eliminator

v = 2.5m/s

dehumidifying cooling
without droplet eliminator

coils

Where necessary, a droplet eliminator is

automatically included by the computer selection
program. Water circuits provided for standard coils
are factory selected to limit the pressure loss to 100
kPa on hot water coils and to 250 kPa on chilled
water coils.
A U-trap of height equal to twice the fan static
pressure must be provided on site by installer. This
will ensure proper flow of condensate water out
from the drain pan.
CONDENSATE DRAIN PAN
Condensate drain pan shall be from galvanized,
minimum spangle G90 material and internally
coated with corrosion resistance and elastic black
asphalt. The internal coating material complies
with NFPA 90 A for flame spread and smoke
generation. The drain pan is mounted onto a slider
track with drain pan with bottom sloped from 0.4
up to 0.7 angle to ensure complete and positive
drainage to meet with ASHRAE 62-89
requirement. Insulated drain pan is available as
standard.
COIL CONSTRUCTION AND
INSTALLATION
Coils are assembled and installed in a two modules
length coil casing. Hot water coil or other dry coil
application required only one module casing
length. For wet coil application, coil is mounted
inside a drain pan. Top coil and bottom drain pan
are supported with Z-Profiles to secure to it
position. Z-Profiles also provides access to slide
the coil and drain pan to ease installation and coil
maintenance works. Coil casings are with external

Heat Recovering System

GENERAL
The recovery of thermal energy from exhaust air
will increase the overall efficiency of an air
conditioning system.
Recovered heat
E% = --------------------- x 100
Recoverable heat
The heat recover heat is dependent on the
prevailing external conditions.
The amount of latent heat recovered is normally
small compared with the sensible heat recovery and
is therefore not taken into account in above
equation. However, in mid-winter it is possible that
condensation in the exhaust air circuit might occur.
The three types of heat recovery units are offered:
1.

Plate recouperators: single unit, standard and

high efficiency

2.

Run around coil: flexible, simple installation

and minimal space requirement

3.

Heat wheel

PLATE RECOUPERATORS
Description
Operation
The design provides for two airflows to pass
crossways between the heat exchanger plates. The
colder air when passing through the unit absorbs
heat contained in the outgoing airflow. The two
airflow is completely isolated by the sealed
construction of the heat exchanger, which is
designed for sensible heat transfer only. Neither
dust nor odors are transmitted.
Construction
A group of aluminum plates are located diagonally
in the recouperator casing which is formed of
galvanized sheets riveted together. Silicone seal
assures complete air tightness. The lower part of
the casing forms a watertight pan to recover
possible condensate.
Models
Three are offered of which two are of different
efficiency due to different plate dimensions:
ES: Standard Efficiency
EH: High Efficiency
EP: With an air bypass (BP)
Recommendations
Limitations
The heat recovery units with aluminum plates can
be used for:
-

33

temperatures up to 150C

Carrier 39F

a maximum pressure differential of up to 1000

Pa
a non corrosive atmosphere

Condensation
Depending on the operating conditions, the exhaust
air might be cooled below its dewpoint with
resultant condensation. A condensate discharge
must therefore be provided on the exhaust airside.
Freeze-up
Direct intake of sub-zero air into the unit might
cause freezing of the exchanger. The temperature at
which freezing might occur depends on the
temperature and the relative humidity of the
exhaust air as well as on the proportion of outside
air to exhaust air.
Freezing can be prevented by increasing the outside
air temperature either with preheat or by recycling
a part of the exhaust air or by bypassing a part of
the outside air.
Installation
The casing of the independent vertical heat
recovery unit is connected to other components of
the air handling unit. As with all air to air heat
exchangers, plate recouperators give their best
efficiency when they are situated at the suction side
of the fan.
The supply and exhaust fans should be wired for
simultaneous operation.
The condensate discharge tubing (PVC 32 mm) is
connected at the bottom of the pan and passed
through a lateral opening in the unit casing for
connection to a U-trap and discharge.
Available for unit size of 4-module height and
below with airflow not exceeding 15 000 m3/hr.
RUN AROUND COILS
Two coils, the one located in the exhaust air
stream, the other in the supply air stream is
interconnected with a pump in a closed circuit.
Heat passes from the hot exhaust air to the cold
water in the tubes of the heat pick-up coil. The
pump then passes this warm water to the heat
rejection coil where the heat passes into the cold
supply air thus cooling the water and warming the
air. Cold water returns to the heat pick-up coil and
the cycle is repeated.
Selection of the coils is made from 39F computer
selection software and based on the following data:
- air handling unit size
- supply air and exhaust air quantities,
temperatures and humidities
- glycol concentration (if used)

Advantages
- two completely separate airflow
- flexible duct arrangement
- simple installation
- great reliability
- low initial cost
- simple maintenance

divided into two half moon sections. Stale air from

the conditioned space is exhausted through one half
while outdoor air is drawn through the other half in
the counter flow pattern. At the same time wheel
is rotated slowly.
Sensible heat is transferred as the metallic substrate
picks up and stores heat from the warmer air stream
and gives it up to the cooler section.

HEAT WHEEL
ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 that recommended
level of outside air brought into buildings has been
increased. This imposes much higher latent and
sensible loads on cooling and heating equipment.
Heat wheel is designed to recovers total energy
(sensible and latent) to meets the requirements of
indoor Air Quality (IAQ), humidity control and to
save energy.

Latent heat is transferred as the synthesized

metallic substrate condenses moisture from the air
stream that has the higher humidity ratio through
adsorption (with a simultaneous release of heat)
and releases of moisture through evaporation (and
heat pick-up) into the air stream that has a lower
humidity ratio.
Selection detail is made from 39F computer
selection software. Further inquiries please contact
Carrier office.

Humidifiers

GENERAL
Air humidification can be obtained by:
- adiabatic process (constant heat)
- isothermal process (constant temperature)
Adiabatic Humidification (with water spray)
At constant enthalpy part of the sensible heat
content of the air is converted into latent heat of
evaporation. The efficiency of that process is
defined by:
Xl Xe
E% = ------------ x 100
Xs Xe

Xe = quantity of water vapor in the air entering the

humidifier (g/kg)
Xs = quantity of water vapor at saturation in the air
entering the humidifier (g/kg)
Isothermal Humidification (steam injection)
At constant temperature the amount of water in the
air is increased and with it the enthalpy of the air.
DESCRIPTION

The adiabatic or spray humidifier used with

the 39F units consists of:

Painted and bolted galvanized sheet metal

panels (welding eliminated) and internally
coated for water tightness.

Water sump with level control and furnished

with the following openings:
- drain
- overflow
- water supply with float valve
- suction connection with screen

One or two rows of galvanized stand pipes

with atomizing plastic spay nozzles providing
a fine water mist for maximum efficiency
(spray
nozzles
easily
removed
for
maintenance)
Vertical galvanized steel eliminator plates
specially formed, and installed upstream and
downstream to provide droplet elimination
Porthole for assembly inspection
furnished on sizes 220, 230 and 240)

2.

Long humidifier (high efficiency)

Two rows of spray nozzles directed against the
airflow. Maximum efficiency: 84% at 2.2 m/s
coil face velocity. Overall length: 6 modules =
1940 mm.

The following condition must be met:

electrical interlock between pump and fan
motor
supply of filtered and treated water (pH = 7)
continuous bleed-off to prevent salt
accumulation in sump
a drain U-trap twice the height of the fan static
pressure
adequate protection against freezing
INSTALLATION
The humidifier forms an independent section to be
connected to the other unit sections by using the
accessories fixings supplied with the unit for this
purpose.
Since the sump is located at the bottom of the
humidifier and below the airflow, support legs for
the other sections of the air handling units have to
be provided to maintain uniform level. These
support legs are factory supplied as optional
accessories.
The recirculating pump must be field connected
and located at the same height as the sump. A free
space of 600 mm for this installation is required.
SELECTION
Example:
Unit 39FD 570, entering air 7500 l/s at 2.7 m/s
(standard coil face velocity), entering air at 25C
and Xe = 3 g/kg water vapor.
-

Required; leaving air Xl = 7.5 g/kg

From the psychrometric chart read ; saturation

of entering air Xs = 8.5 g/kg

Note: units are supplied single skin, un-lagged.

Two models of humidifiers are available:

1. Short humidifier (medium efficiency)
With one row of spray nozzles directed against
the airflow. Maximum efficiency: 79% at 2.2
m/s coil face velocity. Overall length: 4

GENERAL

Where a significant reduction to fan noise is

required attenuators can be provided.

INSTALLATION

DESCRIPTION
Sound absorption is achieved by installing mineral
wool splitters (non-combustible class MO fire
code), fixed in galvanized steel frames and
mounted parallel to the airflow.
Various splitter lengths are available to provide a
range of attenuator performances.
The sides exposed to the air stream are covered
with a glass fiber scrim to avoid erosion to the
mineral wool by the air stream.
The standard thickness of the splitters is 200 mm.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Following limits are to be observed
-

Carrier 39F

Sound Attenuators

Maximum air velocity between panels: 20 m/s

Maximum temperature: 100C

The splitters are installed within the 39F unit and

form an integral part of it. They can be located in
the discharge or inlet sides of supply or return fan.
DIMENSIONS
The height is determined by the height of the air
handling unit.
The amount of sound absorption depends on the
splitter length.
The length of the splitter casing takes into the
account the space required for uniform airflow after
leaving the attenuator splitters.
MANUAL PRESELECTION
Deduct silencer sound attenuation figures (table
below) from fan sound power spectrum to arrive at
sound level leaving the attenuator.
Exact calculations are made by computer program.

Selection Tools and Sample Selection

Carrier 39F

Following is an example of an AHU selection by utilizing some of the tools made available such as Carrier
Flexair Software, Psychrometric chart and a fan curve.
STEP 1: AHU Requirements
All parameters and detail specifications needed for selection can be obtained from unit application, customer
requirements or consultant guidelines. Such information is the key and basis of an AHU selection. Example of
required inputs are as follows,
a.

Panel thickness of 25mm double skin externally painted

b.

EU7 soft bag filtration mounted on existing frame with prefilter

c.

2 steps 30kW heating capacity electric battery heater

d.

Cooling requirements,
i. total capacity: 72.8 kW
ii. air on condition: 29C / 47%
iii. air off condition: 13.1C / 98%
iv. water entering temperature: 7.2C
v. water temperature rise: 5.6C
vi. airflow: 9612 m3/hr
vii. face velocity: 2.6 m/s

e.

Forward curve fan with horizontal discharge

f.

Motor service factor of 1.33

g.

Adjustable pulley drive type

STEP 2: Flexair Selection

From adequate information given above, the Flexair Selection software can be made use of to enhance the AHU
selection effectively. The software will assist in the AHU component selection section by section until the whole
complete unit is done. In each section several options of component can be choose from to give flexibility in the
selection while maintaining the AHU specifications.
A summary printout of the complete unit is readily available with sketch detailing the component layout for easy
reference makes the software a powerful tool for Sales and Application Engineers. For more information on
Flexair please contact your nearest Carrier office.
STEP 3: Performance Checks
To justify whether a good selection has been made, especially on airside, a quick double check can be
performed by using a fan curve. The operating point of the selected fan can be plotted on its fan curve to ensure
the selected fan is operating in a safe region where the performance of the fan is at its optimal.
Another tool that can be made use of is the Psychrometric Chart. The airside performance of the cooling coil can
be plotted on the chart where the quality of air before and after the cooling coil could be determined. The two
operating points (coil on-off conditions) would also determine the total, sensible and latent cooling of the air
passing through the coil.
STEP 4: Finalizing Selection and Placing Order
Once the selection has been finalized, an order can be placed by filling the Order Entry Data List Mandatory
form along with a copy of the Flexair summary printout.
