Features/Benefits
Versatility and quality
The 39R air handler’s modular design
provides the flexibility that previously
existed only in smaller units. By group-
ing a number of accessory modules to-
gether, the modular design minimizes
field joining while allowing units to be
customized for specific requirements.

TO USE THE SELECTION CHART:

1. Find the required airflow by reading across available airflow (cfm x 1000) scale at the bottom of the chart.
2. Read down from the selected airflow until the desired face velocity (fpm) is reached.
3. From this point, move to the left to determine the unit size.

Best selection for heating only applications.
NOTES:
1. Airflow is based on use of an extra large face area coil.

3. Component weight and AWL is determined by coil selection.
Refer to AHUBuilder® software for weights and dimensions.
SPECIFICATIONS
All coil sections shall be solid doublewall construction of pre-painted galvanized steel inner and outer panels and insulation. The resultant min-
imum R-value of the panel assemblies shall not carry an R-value of less than 7.6.
Drain pans shall be insulated doublewall galvanized or stainless steel construction. The pan shall be sloped toward the drain fitting. Drain pan
shall have a recessed bottom drain design with integral FPT elbow for side discharge and trapping. One drain outlet shall be supplied for each
cooling coil section. Drain pan shall allow no standing water and comply with ASHRAE Standard 62. Where 2 or more coils are stacked in a coil
bank, intermediate drain pans shall be provided and the condensate shall be piped to the side of the section. The bottom coil shall not serve as
a drain path for the upper coil.
