General Features

Main Component Features

Modular Design

Casing & Construction

Both MAH & SAHU series air handling units are manufactured in
modular sections. Units are normally shipped with each section
fully assembled in the factory. The unit is however designed to
be supplied in knockdown arrangement for quick site assembly,
where shipping or plant room restrictions demand.

Pentapost Frame

Application Flexibility
Both AHU series can be provided with a whole range of standard
components, in many different configurations. Units can be
supplied with a whole range of panel configuration to suit every
application. Different sectional arrangements and fan discharge
positions are possible depending on the site constraints and
requirements.

Simple connection

Both MAH & SAHU series section casings are constructed of

framed modules, for maximum rigidity and strength.
Unit frames shall be constructed of either extruded aluminum
profile or hot dip coated galvanized steel profile. (steel penta
post). Both profiles have excellent mechanical characteristics and
give the unit its rigidity and design flexibility .The cross-section of
profiles is specially designed for this type of application to give
extra strength to the unit frame and to prevent any buckling or
deformation. Aluminum Profile frames are assembled together
using strong nylon corners and steel Penta-Post profiles are
connected by means of special corner pieces to produce a very
rigid assembly.
Both of these constructions give the possibility of completely
dismantling the unit sections and re-assembly at site in case of
difficult access.

Units are suitable for both duct connection and free discharge
applications.

Perfect Thermal Break

Both MAH & SAHU series utilize designed gaskets and profiles
to provide an excellent thermal break. Steel pentapost profiles
are internally insulated and the profile is covered from inside
with neoprene tape to provide perfect insulation. Aluminum
profiles are with built-in thermal break system, which eliminates
contact between the treated air and the profile, thus provides an
excellent thermal break. SKM air handling units utilize gasket
liner between the panels and frame to ensure an excellent leak
tight and thermal and acoustic insulation. A specially designed
EPDM gasket is provided between frame and access doors to
improve the anti- thermal bridge effect.

Conformity
Conformity with applicable European health and safety standards.
A typical AHU consists of a wide choice of a combination but
not limited to the following sections: fan, cooling coil, heating

SKM air handling units are equipped with multi blade, low
leakage, and heavy duty dampers to control the air flow rate by
introducing resistance to air flow in the system. Dampers are
available with parallel blades and opposed blades. Links are
provided for either manual or motorized operation. The following
dampers are available:

Steam Humidifiers

Following types of steam humidifier can be supplied:

Internal Steam Humidifier [HSIG]: This system consists
of immersed electrode steam generating cylinders, steam
distribution pipe and necessary controls. Steam generating
cylinders are mounted on the AHU within a special enclosure.
The steam distributor passes through the unit casing to
inject steam in the air stream to reach the required humidity
conditions. ON/OFF control for humidifier is provided as
standard.
External Steam Humidifier [HSEG]: This system consists
of steam generating cylinders and steam distribution pipe.
Steam generator is supplied separately and is complete with
necessary controls. In this case the humidifier is remote to the
unit. ON/OFF control for humidifier is provided as standard.
With only steam distributor pipe and hoses which will become
connected to the steam main by the installer. Supply of steam
and all the controls by others.

Options
Condensate drain pan for humidifier section.
Proportional control based on 0-10 V DC/4-20 mA.

Water Humidifiers (for SAHU series ONLY)

SKM air handling units can be equipped with water humidifier
section which mainly serves for adiabatic cooling, humidifying
and air washing. Water humidifier consists of spray nozzle
system, heat exchanger media, tank for collecting spray water
and eliminator section for removing entrained drops of water from
the air. A pump (not in standard scope of supply) recirculates
water at a rate higher than the evaporation rate. Water tank is
equipped with drain connection, overflow outlet, water feed with
float valve and suction connection with screen.
There are two types of Water humidifier arrangement which can
be supplied as follows:
Evaporative Type [HFF]: This type consists of evaporative
flooded fill media. Water is supplied to the top of the evaporative
media via a distribution header. The water flows down the
surface of the media and the warm and dry air passes through
the media. It then evaporates a proportion of the water and
produces cold, humidified air. The rest of the water assists in
washing the media, and is drained back to the tank.
Spray Pad Type (Air Washer) [HPS]: In this type, water is
sprayed over the pad area through spray nozzle system. Air
is humidified and cooled as it passes through the wetted pad
media.

Fresh, exhaust and return air damper for mixing box and
economizer control.
The damper frame is constructed from galvanized steel, blades
from galvanized steel, shafts from steel, bearing from bronze
and linkage and brackets from galvanized steel.

Options
Aluminium damper blades in airfoil profile [ADBD].
Stainless steel damper blades [SDB].

Sound Attenuator Section

Sound attenuator can be provided in both supply and return air
side. The standard design is with specially designed vertical
splitters consisting of sound absorbing material parallel to the
air stream matching unit cross section. Two different media
depths of 24 (600mm) [SAT1] and 48 (1200mm) [SAT2] are
available as standard.
A variety of splitter material, thickness, length, spacing and
casing are available in order to satisfy even the most strict sound
attenuation requirements. For quick selection of standard series
SAHU attenuators, the following insertion losses (dB) are listed

Exhaust Box Section
Exhaust box [BEX] with exhaust air dampers are available.
When used in combination with mixing box having motorized
dampers, it provides excellent economizer control.

Return Box Section

Return air box [BRX] with return air dampers are available.
Section length of return air box is similar as mixing box. For
sizes please refer to page 19 for MAH and page 21 for SAHU.

Plenum Sections
Empty plenums can be supplied either for future use or for
particular applications like access, end vertical assembly,
end bottom plenum for bottom return air applications and etc.
Standard sizes are listed in the dimensional data, from page .
Plenums are available in three different sizes of [PEM1], [PEM2]
and [PEM3] depth. Custom sizes to suite a particular requirement
can be supplied as an option.

Heat Recovery Section

(Not included in Eurovent Certification, ONLY
applicable for SAHU Series)
In order to conserve the energy consumption by exchanging
energy between the supplies and exhaust air streams, various
types of heat recovery systems can be provided as an integral
part of SKM air handling units. These depend upon special
installation and other requirements like:
Run Around Coil System [RRC]: This system comprises of
two coils; one placed in the supply air stream and other in the
exhaust air stream. The coils are to be connected in a closed
loop via piping and circulating pump (supplied by others).
Water or glycol is circulated as a heat transfer medium. This
system shall recover sensible heat only.
Fixed Plate Heat Recovery System [RHP]: Consists of
layers of Aluminum plates, which are separating the exhaust
and supply air streams. The exhaust air passes through the
exchanger from end to end and the supply air stream individual
passages formed by the plates within the exchanger.

The plates separating the two air streams act as the heat
transfer medium. This system recovers sensible heat only.

Rotary Heat Recovery System (Thermal Wheel) [RHR]:

Heat wheels are revolving cylinders consisting of an air
permeable matrix with large interior surface. The matrix is
cooled as cold air is passed through the wheels. This in
return cools the fresh air stream when the cooled rotating
matrix comes in line with the supply air stream. Heat recovery
wheels are available to recover either sensible heat only or
both sensible and latent heat to meet the requirements.
Heat wheels in SKM air
handling units are capable
of recovering both sensible
and latent heat. Heat wheels
offered are constructed of
Aluminium, coated with heat
transfer material (silica gel
or molecular sieve) which is
rotated by an electric motor
at constant speed. The heat
wheel rotates between the
Figure 12: Energy Recovery Wheel
fresh and return air streams,
and two fan sections are required; supply and exhaust fan.
Heat wheels are ideal for applications that demand high
percentage of fresh air intake like in research laboratories,
schools and pharmaceutical companies.

Heat Pipe System [RPR & RPRV/H]: Heat pipe is a simple

heat transfer device consisting of two coils, pre-cooling and
re-heating, connected together without any moving part in
between them and containing phase change fluid. According
to the arrangement of the heat pipe coils with respect to
other components, it can be used for either dehumidification
(horseshoe type arrangement) or for heat recovery (vertical/
horizontal arrangement).
For dehumidification function (horseshoe type arrangement),
pre-cooling coil is located in the incoming air flow allows the
evaporator cooling coil to work cooler and condense more
moisture. Re-heat coil located after the evaporator coil,
reheats the supply air and brings about a more comfortable
temperature and relative humidity. This entire function of
humidity reduction is performed while saving energy. Specify
option [RPR] for this type of arrangement.
For heat recovery function (vertical/horizontal arrangement),
heat pipe coils are installed between the fresh and return air
streams and two fan sections are required; supply and exhaust
fan. Specify option RPRV(H) for this type of arrangement.
