Application
Air-Handling Units DB are used for the off-shore and marine industry. The air
handling units are specially designed to be compact and allow for fitting in the
often limited space of ships, yachts and offshore modules. The fans are made
of high-quality materials to withstand the extreme sea climate conditions.

The Air-Handling Unit is made of the most sturdy

materials to withstand extreme cold or hot and humid air conditions, the salt
sea air and the extreme environments.

Standards
The units comply with the following guidelines: Machinery Directive 2006/42/
EC Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC ATEX 94/9 / EC (ATEX 95) EMC
Directive 2004/108/EC Pressure Equipment 97/23/EC The units conform to
the following casing-properties (according to EN 1886): Mech.
• Strength class: D1
• Air leakage enclosure class: L1
• Filter bypass leakage: F9
• Therm. Conduction: T2
• Thermal bridge factor: TB2

Certification
• ISO 9001 “ To offer
complete operational
“
security to those
who ensure
ours
 Explosion proof

If the units are located in hazardous locations such as in plants

where an explosive atmosphere may occur (so-called zone I and II
locations), they are built according to ATEX directives. Even plain
air can be hazardous when it holds inflammable gases. Areas like
that are called ATEX zones (ATmosphères EXplosibles). Anything
that might cause the tiniest spark is forbidden there. Since July
1, 2003, every company in Europe, active in these zones, must
meet the ATEX 137 guideline (guideline 1999/92/EG) for personal
and ATEX 95 guideline (guideline 94/9/EG) for equipments used
in ATEX zones. Air handling units must meet the ATEX regulations
when handling Ex-atmosphere or positioned in Ex-atmosphere. Two
types are distinguished: Zone I: explosion hazard under normal
operation, and Zone II: explosion hazard not likely.

 Casing The casing is built out of a aluminium framework (optional: galvanized steel or welded stainless
steel AISI316L) holding double walled panels and, if required, provided with inspection doors. The thickness
of the framework is at least 2mm, depending on size and application. The double walled panels are made
of galvanized steel (optional: stainless steel AISI316) and insulated with 40mm thermal and acoustic
insulation, Rock- wool type 223 cross section, other insulation are possible on request. Sheet thicknesses are
available from 1mm up to 2mm. Air handling units outdoors are provided with pitched roof plates and 50mm
overhanging eaves.

Doors The inspection doors are fitted with polished AISI316 stainless steel locks and hinges which are
mounted on the outside of the panels to avoid thermal bridges. Doors that close overpressure sections are
provided with a safeguard to prevent dangerous situations. Not self- adhesive EPDM rubbers are used to
prevent air leakage.

Grounding All components are provided with 16mm2 earth-bonding.

Electric heater The electrical heaters meet the requirements of Lloyds and Veritas. The terminal box is
made of galvanized steel and also the casing, the elements are made of inox steel. The connections are sealed
to avoid moisture between the jacket and the elements. Because of vibrations, the elements are supported
at the ends. The electrical heaters are provided with a maximal temperature protection. The heater complies
with protection degree: IP44. The electrical heaters are also available in EX-type, entire heater is fully made
of stainless steel AISI316 and complies with classification: Ex ed IIC T3 (optional: zone I and zone II) and
protection degree: IP65.

Cooling coil The cooling coil is selected according to the project specific air conditions and refrigerant
type. Direct expansion, seawater and chilled water are common applied refrigerants.
The coil can be produced in Cu/Al, Cu/Cu, CuSn/CuSn, stainless steel/ aluminum or titanium in the case of
seawater. An anti-corrosive Poly/Al coating can be applied after manufacturing. If the face- velocity of the coil
is higher than 2.5 m/s a Polypropylene mist eliminator is installed. Optionally the mist eliminator is carried
out in stainless steel AISI304 or AISI316. The cooling coil is provided with a stainless steel AISI316 frame
and positioned above a stainless steel AISI316L drip tray provided with a 1” condensate drain.

Heating coil These can be supplied in the same design as the coolers except the heating coils are suitable
for steam, hot water or another heating medium.

Base frame To support the units during transport and on-site, the air handling units are mounted on
a rigid base frame. The base frame is made of hot dipped galvanized mild steel beams or bended 4 mm
stainless steel AISI316L U-profiles which are welded by certified welders. The main welds can be exposed
to non-destructive testing (NDT) to check on imperfections. Hoisting lugs are standard equipped with a
RAL1028 yellow coating. The frames are provided with diagonal positioned earth bosses.

Alternatives available on request.

Due to continuous product development, Heinen & Hopman reserves the right to introduce alterations without prior notice.
 Filters The unit is standard fitted with EU-4 pleated filters that will be mounted in galvanized
steel filter frames. The filters are grounded through a detachable clip on the filter frame. An
inspection door is provided on the inlet side of the filter, so maintenance and inspection takes
place on the dirty side. Optionally, the unit can be equipped with ATEX, HEPA filter or coalescer.

Weather louvers If the unit takes in fresh air, the unit will be equipped with a weather
louver. The inlet section can be performed with a mist eliminator and/or coalescer behind the
louver and the intake damper to avoid water infiltration during extreme weather conditions.

Dampers Contra rotating dampers, the casing, valves, shafts, levers and connecting rods
are made of stainless steel AISI316. The rate of leakage is ≤ 0.032 m3/s/m2 at a pressure
difference of 1000 Pascal (tested with a damper with dimensions of 1200x1500 mm.) The
valves can be operated manually or by means of an electric servo motor or pneumatic actuator.

Air flanges The air flanges are carried out in 4mm to 6mm galvanized steel (optinal:
stainless steel), depending on the size and application, and foreseen with a specific-hole
pattern.

Fans Fans are generally direct driven plug-in type. The impeller consists of coated steel and
the base frame is made of stainless steel AISI316. Optionally, stainless steel AISI316 backward
curved double inlet centrifugal fans are used. The fan and motor are assembled on a common
frame and isolated from the casing by vibration dampers and flexible connections. Fans for
Zone 1 or Zone 2 are fitted with brass inlet cones and other measures to reduce the chance of
sparks. Access to the fan sections is provided with perforated CE grids for safety.
Note: Plug-in type fan till max. 600Pa static pressure and centrifugal fan for higher pressure.

Motors ATEX units are standard equipped with 3 phase low voltage 50 Hz and 60 Hz cast
iron motors with offshore coating. The motors can be supplied in Zone 1 and Zone 2 version.

Controls/wiring The electric wiring consists of flame retardant PVC halogen-free cables
both unarmed and armored. For the wiring of the various electrical components from the inside
to the outside are standard brass CMP A2 cable glands for unarmored cables installed. In case
of armored cables there will be standard E1FX TRI-STAR cable glands used. Optionally, the
wiring can be performed on stainless steel AISI316 ship-ladder cable trays.
