Airscape Air Handler Unit

Location

Piping to the AHU from the Pod must be < 100 ft in equivalent length, with < 35 ft of lift.

Configuration & Dimensions

The Airscape air handler units come in three configurations; A, B, and C.  All configurations require an additional MERV 13 filter module, and an A/C economizer/Night Cooling damper can be added to all configurations. 

Note

The AHU can be pulled apart into individual modules to make it easier to move the unit into a crawl space or attic.

• Ensure duct transitions to and from the AHU are adequate for proper, even air flow
• The AHU can be installed vertically or horizontally

Caution

WARNING: Hydronic coil and A/C coil must be installed downstream of air filters, or the performance will be heavily degraded.

Power

The Airscape AHU will require a 120V power outlet, which will power the blower motor and provide 24VAC power for the thermostat.

Note

A standard residential GFCI plug will trip when the motor starts up. Use a hardwired switch with fuse, or a heavy-duty industrial GFCI such as the Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems GFSG8200I

Plumbing Connections

Slab Coil Plumbing Connections

A-Frame Coil Plumbing Connections

A-Frame coil connections should be plumbed in parallel, not series.

Caution

WARNING: Failure to plumb coil in regard to orientation to airflow can significantly degrade performance.
