1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The BOREAS Air Handling Unit installation, commissioning, and maintenance manual was
prepared to provide extensive information on the unit’s technical specifications, transport,
installation, commissioning, and operational maintenance. Anyone who is to work on the unit should
read this manual in advance and carefully follow the instructions given. BOREAS A.Ş. does not hold any
responsibility for malfunctions to the unit that are caused by a failure to follow the warnings specified in
this manual. In the event that users make any modifications, alterations on the unit within the
knowledge and approval of BOREAS A.Ş. during the warranty period, the warranty scope shall be
deemed null and void.
1.1 USE IN ACCORDANCE WITH INSTRUCTIONS
The BOREAS Air Handling Unit manufactured by BOREAS A.Ş. is used for the ventilation of spaces;
filtration, heating-cooling of air, heat recovery, humidification and dehumidification depending on design
specifications and the section types selected. BOREAS A.Ş. does not permit the use and operation of its
Air Handling Unit for other purposes than that listed. Any malfunctions that arise from use for purposes
other than that listed above are outside the scope of the warranty. Some examples are: using air
handling unit sections as shelter, using air handling unit framework as scaffolding in construction sites,
and using air handling unit sections as storage areas.
1.2 PLANT ROOM
Sufficient maintenance spaces and clearances should be left in the area where the Air Handling Unit will
be installed, for operation and service actions. It is recommended that the floor is smooth and easily
cleaned, to prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust. The space should be illuminated, ventilated,
humidity and temperature controlled. An area equal to the depth of the heat exchanger (Heating-
Cooling Exchanger, Plate-Rotary Heat Recovery Units) should be left as a minimum in sections where
heat exchangers are located, for maintenance work. (See 6.1 Unit Installation).
1.3 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The BOREAS Air Handling Unit is prepared for shipping in sections, and by applying appropriate
packaging and transport methods on each section. To facilitate easy horizontal and vertical handling of
sections, section feet have forklift transport holes and winch handling rings as standard. The use of these
is recommended during handling. Damages that may arise otherwise fall outside the scope of the
warranty.
If the air handling unit must be stored for longer than 3 months, the following procedures
must be followed:
• The packaging of units should be removed in order to facilitate free ventilation with the purpose
of eliminating moisture from condensation inside the packaging, and the units should be
repackaged after a period of 1-2 hours.
