INTRODUCTION
RECEIVING
All units leaving Dunham-Bush factory have been thoroughly checked to ensure the shipment of
quality products. We guarantee that all air-handlers are properly packaged.
Cautions: Dunham-Bush Industries Sdn Bhd will not be responsible for any damages or loss parts in
shipment or at the job site. Report any shipping damage to nearest Dunham-Bush office
immediately.
Carefully inspect all shipments immediately after delivery. When damage is evident, note this fact on
the carrier's freight bill and request that the carrier send a representative to inspect the damage.
This may be done by telephone or in person, but should always be confirmed in writing.
The shipment should be unpacked in the presence of the agent so that the extent of damage or loss
can be determined. The carrier's agent will make an inspection report and a copy will be given to the
consignee for forwarding to the carrier with a formal claim. Do not report missing items until you
have thoroughly checked the units because bolts, belts or other small item's might be packed inside
the units.
STORAGE
If equipment is stored out-of-doors, special care should be taken to protect against moisture,
corrosion and dust. Wheels should be covered to prevent unintended location by wind. Equipment,
when stored under such conditions, must be periodically inspected to stop trouble from developing.
LONG-TERM STORAGE
If storing unit before installation, observe the following precautions,
1. The storage site should be level, rigid, and free of debris. If the site is in a heavy rain area, set
the unit off of the ground.
2. Do not store the unit in a heavy traffic area or on a vibrating surface. Vibration can damage
stationary bearings.
3. Monthly move the coverall, enter the fan section through the access door, and slowly rotate the
fan and motor by hand. This operation prevents bearing corrosion by redistributing the bearing
grease.
4. On no occasion should anything be stacked on top of the units. The elapsed time for the
warranty prevails even though the units are in storage.
-4-
INTRODUCTION
Air handling units are shipped on strong plastic package or crate with sections bolted as determined
by lorries or trailer size limitations. When lifting with slings, use spreader bars across the top of the
units to avoid damaging panel or framework. Caution must be exercised to avoid damages to any
sections. Check the weight of the units before rigging. Try to place the rigging cable such that the
weight is evenly distributed.
Lifting cables should not be attached to the extremities of the accessory sections without
intermediate support at the basic units. The feet on the accessory section are provided for isolator
mounting and not designed for rigging connections and must not be abused.
All fan outlets are covered with cardboard. Remove it just prior to when the duct is connected to the
unit.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
If your inspection indicates that the unit is ready for installation, move it to the desired location.
Evaluate the job site by considering the following points:
( l.) Is the floor or foundation level enough to support the weight of the unit (the minimum
foundation shall be 4 times the rotating mass of the fan and drives or about double of the units
weight). Refer to table 1 to 5 for weight and dimensions.
( 2.) Is there sufficient space for making piping, drainings and wiring connections, and this space
accessible.
( 3.) Is there adequate space for servicing the unit, and for removing or opening the access doors. A
minimum clearance equal to the width of the units must be provided on one side of the unit for
removing the coil, shaft and wheel.
( 4.) How ductwork is to be done and is there enough space for ducting.
In extreme cases when it is necessary to completely isolate any vibration from the air-conditioner
which can adversely affect any other nearby equipment, it is recommended that either one of the
following methods be followed:
( 1.) Provide a separate floating plinth.
( 2.) Place the unit on a minimum 2.5" thick cork sheet.
( 3.) Support the complete unit on spring isolators. Request factory to provide correct spring
isolators and mounting brackets at base units.
For stringent quiet and vibration-free application, a good acoustical and vibration engineering
practice has to be applied.
Ideally, a heavy concrete slab should be used for floor mounted units, and main support beams for
ceiling hung units. Long floor or ceiling spans should be avoided.

INSTALLATION
Fan System
Figure 2
The fan section needs to be checked
carefully before the unit is turned on.
After removing all transportation
protections (only in case when spring
shock absorbers are installed) one
should check if there are any objects
near the fan, which could be sucked
into the impeller after it is turned on.
See Figure 2.
CLEARANCE
Clearance must be provided for
( a.) Supply and return ductwork
( b.) Chilled water piping connection
( c.) Electrical power and control wiring
( d.) Trapped condensate drain connection
( e.) Routine services like filter and lubrication
( f.) Coil removal
-7-
INSTALLATION
The following precautions should be noted with regard to the piping layout for hot water coils:
( 1.) All coils should be connected to provide adequate venting and drainage.
( 2.) Thermometers are recommended to provide temperature readings when coils are balanced.
( 3.) a. Plug cocks are used to manually adjust the water flow for a set pressure drop through the
coil.
b. The pressure drop is determined by connecting pressure gauges to the gauge cocks
( 4.) The leaving air temperature from the coil (in this piping layout) is maintained by automatically
proportioning the amount of water flowing through the coil or through the by-pass. The water
flow is regulated by a motorised 3 way mixing valve, controlled through a proportional remote
bulb temperature controller.
( 5.) A gate valve and hose connection provided in the supply line dirt leg should be supplied when
floor drains are remote in relation to the coil location.
( 6.) Water piping and coil section should be supported independently.

INSTALLATION
The following precautions should be noted with regard to the piping layout for steam coils:
( 1.) Return piping from coil to trap should be of at least the same size as the coil outlet connection.
( 2.) Steam piping and coil section should be supported independently.
( 3.) The sizing of control valves should be based on the steam load and not on the coil supply
connection size.
( 4.) Thermostatic traps should be used for venting only.
( 5.) A strainer should be provided on the steam supply side of the control valve.
( 6.) Locate traps at least 12 inches below the coil return connection.
( 7.) Where handling outside air below 35°F the following precautions must be followed:
a. Proper draining is mandatory to avoid damage by freezing.
b. Do not use overhead returns from coils.
c. An immersion thermostat should be used to protect the coil. The device controls the
outdoor air damper and fan motor when the steam supply fails or condensate temperature
drops below a pre-set level. Thermostat is located in the return line before the dirt leg.

INSTALLATION
SHEAVES ALIGNMENT
Factory-supplied drives are pre-aligned and tensioned. However, it is recommended that you check
the belt tension and alignment before starting the unit. Always check the drive alignment after
adjusting belt tension. To install sheaves on the fan or motor shaft, remove any rust-preventive
coating on the shaft. Make sure the shaft is clean and free of burrs. Add grease or lubricant to bore
of sheave before installing. Mount sheave on the shaft. To prevent bearing damage do not use
excessive force. Place sheaves for minimum overhang. Each factory-assembled fan, shaft and drive
sheave assembly is precision aligned and balanced. If excessive unit vibration occurs after field
replacement of sheaves, the unit should be rebalanced. To change the drive ratio, reselect and
replace the motor sheave, not the fan sheave.
Make sure that fan shafts and motor shafts are parallel and level. The most common causes of
misalignment are nonparallel shafts and improperly located sheaves. Where shafts are not parallel,
belts on one side are drawn tighter and pull more than their share of the load. As a result, these
belts wear out faster, requiring the entire set to be replaced before it has given maximum service. If
misalignment is in the sheave, belts enter and leave the grooves at an angle, causing excessive belt
and sheave wear.
1. Shaft alignment can be checked by measuring the distance between the shafts at 3 or more
locations. If the distances are equal, then the shafts are parallel.
2. Sheave alignment:
• Fixed sheaves: To check the location of the fixed sheaves on the shaft, a straightedge or a
piece of string can be used. If the sheaves are properly aligned, the string will touch them at
the points indicated by the arrows in Figure 5.
• Adjustable sheaves: To check the location of adjustable sheave on shaft, make sure that the
centerlines of both sheaves are in line and parallel with the bearing support channel. See
Figure 5. Adjustable pitch drives are installed on the motor shaft.
3. Rotate each sheave a half revolution to determine whether the sheave is wobby or the drive
shaft is bent. Correct any misalignment.
4. With sheaves aligned, tighten cap screws evenly FIGURE 7: Sheave alignment
and progressively.
5. With taper-lock bushed hubs, be sure the bushing
bolts are tightened evenly to prevent side-to-side
pulley wobble. Check by rotating sheaves and
rechecking sheave alignment. When substituting
field-supplied sheaves for factory-supplied
sheaves, consider that fan shaft sheaves has
been factory balanced with fan and shaft as an
assembly. For this reason, substitution of motor
sheave is preferable for final speed adjustment.

INSTALLATION
1. Fit the belts into the grooves and increase the centre distance until the belts are snug.
(Note: Never lever belts over sheaves)
2. Tighten belts and equalize belt slack so that it is on the same side of belt for all belts. Failure to
do so may result in uneven belt stretching.
3. As shown in Figure 8, measure the span length (mm) of the drive. Determine the deflection at
the centre of the span according to the table below.

4. From table below, find the appropriate deflection force according to belt type. The deflection
force for any V-belt should be within the minimum and maximum force shown in the table. When
the tension drops to the minimum value, readjust to the maximum value.

Note: A new drive should be tensioned to the higher value. After the drive has been running for 30 minutes, the tension
should be checked and readjusted to higher value.

INSTALLATION
DUCT CONNECTIONS
All intake and discharge air duct connections to the unit should be made with flexible material. The
accessory flexible connectors may be used for this purpose. The flexible material should be installed
so that it is sufficiently loose to prevent the transmission of vibration to the ductwork. Duct turns and
transitions must be made carefully to hold the friction loss to a very minimum. Avoid short turns and
duct elbows should contain splitters or turning vanes.
Ductwork which is connected to the fan discharge should run in a straight line at least 1½ fan
diameters and should not be reduced in cross sectional area (See Figure 10). Figure 10 shows the
recommended air discharge arrangement for an air duct turn made close to the unit. Notice that a
duct should be in same direction as the fan rotation. Never deadhead the discharge into the flat side
of a plenum.
The air duct should never be unprotected to the elements when outside air is drawn into a unit. A
hood or louvered assembly should be provided to keep rain and snow out of the unit. Also an
expanded metal screen should be provided to keep birds and other animals out. Open return air
ducts and free discharge openings should be protected with an expanded metal screen.

SECTION ASSEMBLY
Sections are connected together as shown in Figure 13. Rig and align sections so that sides
andtops are flush and joining lug are aligned. Places of contact of framework profiles should
becovered with gasket around perimeter of unit frame, which has been assembled onto the
sectionframe. Fasten the bolts and nuts provided following the instruction, which can be found on
sideof the section frame. In general, torque required to pull the joining lug shall be 35±3 lb-ft inorder
to compress the gasket which creates the frame seal.

COMPONENTS ARRANGEMENT
BLOWER ARRANGEMENT
It is important to study the site layout and select the type of blower discharge pattern to suit the
ductwork direction which will minimise noise and vibration. The selected blower discharge pattern
should be specified in the purchase order (or order form) to the factory. Avoid field conversion of
blower discharge pattern. If field conversion of the blower discharge pattern is required, contact
factory or nearest Dunham-Bush representative and the field conversion should only carried out
under the supervision of a factory authorised personnel.
Filter
Various options of filter type, filter media and
filter efficiency are available to meet the
different air quality requirement.
Coils
Chilled water and DX cooling coils are
manufactured from copper tubes with
aluminum fins, copper fins, hydrophilic coated fins or other custom made coils. Heating can be hot
water coil or electric heaters.
Three ways pitch drain pan design discharges condensate quickly and prevent microbial growth.
Condensate pans of 304 stainless steel material is also available as an option.

MAINTENANCE
An air handling unit, as with any mechanical equipment, requires periodic maintenance. The
following is a recommended "check list" to be used as a guide in establishing a maintenance
program.
PERIODIC INSPECTION
( 1.) FAN BEARING
a.) Fan equipped with deep grooved ball bearing inserted in rubber damper has sufficient high
grade grease sealed in at the time of manufacture, there is no need for replenishment
while in use at normal speed & normal condition.
b.) The pillow block housing has lubrication point can be lubricated when required refer to
below table for greasing interval and grease amount accordance to factory
recommendation:-

MAINTENANCE
( 2.) Check the belts for proper tension and alignment at least once every six months. Proper belt
tension depends on the center distance between pulleys and type of belt used.
( 3.) Check the pulleys and sheaves at least once every six months to make certain that set screws
are properly tightened.
( 4.) To insure proper air cleaning efficiency, filters must be properly maintained. Dirty filters will
reduce the air volume handled by the unit which will result in reduced unit capacity. The length
of time between the replacement of throwaway filters or cleaning of permanent type filters is
dependent upon the condition of the circulated air. A six week cycle is normal, however, more
frequent servicing may be required.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
( 1.) If the unit is painted, check for evidence of corrosion or peeling. These areas should be
properly cleaned and retouched.
( 2.) Tighten the blower wheel set screws. Inspect the wheels and housings for evidence of
corrosion and retouch if necessary.
( 3.) Wash down the coil fin surfaces to eliminate dirt, lint or other foreign matter. If there is a
particularly heavy accumulation of material, more frequent replacement or cleaning of filters is
indicated.
( 4.) Check the motor and fan shaft bearings for evidence of wear.
( 5.) Check the drain pan and drain line to see that condensate is being properly drained and there
are no restrictions in the line.
( 7.) When cleanable type water coils are supplied, drain the water from the coils and remove
several plugs from the return bends. Inspect the tubes carefully and if there is any evidence of
scale formation, then remove all the plugs and clean the tubes. If chemicals are used for the
cleaning operation it is recommended that a reputable water treatment firm be contacted for a
recommendation of the proper cleaning agent to be used.
NOTE: It is recommended that all units be rebalanced to a minimum of "Quality Grade G6.3" if
shaft or wheel is replaced.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
7. No straight duct at ♦ Fans which are normally used in duct systems are
fan outlet tested with a length of straight duct at the fan outlet.
If there is no straight duct at the fan outlet, decreased
performance will result. If it is not practical to install a
straight section of duct at the fan outlet the fan speed
may be increased to overcome this pressure loss.
Observe fan RPM limits.
