The frame provides excellent rigidity and stability to the structure along with good aesthetics. These profiles are specially designed for HVAC applications, Profiles are connected using special die-cast Glass-filled nylon corner pieces to form the air handling unit sections.

Frame sizes for panels are of 25mm and 50mm thickness. 50mm thermal break profile has excellent thermal bridging and the least thermal transmittance properties which are by EN1886.

Below is the standard feature of this construction:

  • Aluminum frame construction.
  • Good mechanical strength.
  • Perfect appearance and precise dimensions.

Heat Recovery Wheel (HW)

The thermal wheel is used to recover the energy from the exhaust air and subsequently bring down the overall cooling load.
The thermal wheels are air-to-air rotary heat exchangers and can recover energy up to 80% without spoiling the IAQ. The heat wheel can recover both the sensible as well as latent heat which is reducing the load on the main cooling coil by around 30 %.

Two basic types of Wheels are available.

  • Sensible heat recovery wheel – for sensible heat recovery only
  • Enthalpy heat recovery wheel – for Sensible and latent recovery. The thermal wheel is a revolving cylinder divided into several parallel flutes.
