During commissioning, the belt tension must be checked after 48 hours of operation.
9.5 Heating and Cooling coils
• Take all necessary measures to prevent the water in the coils from freezing during operation or when the air handling unit is
powered off.
- Install thermostats and/or safety pressostats.
- Glycol protection: Metering should be based on the temperature (see table below).
- This gives the minimum glycol concentrations based on the freezing point:

Other products are available. Refer to the manual provided by the antifreeze supplier.
If you use a concentrated dilutable solution to protect your hydraulic circuit, please follow the instructions below:
- Never add pure antifreeze product followed by water,
- Always prepare the correctly metered water + antifreeze + corrosion inhibitor mixture in a container before adding it to the
system,
- Add the water/antifreeze/inhibitor and pressurise using a hydraulic pump,
- Circulate the mixture throughout the system for at least 2 hours before starting up the unit,
- Check the final metering obtained with a density meter or a refractometer,
- Check the pH obtained using strips of pH paper or a pH-meter (see water quality table below),
- Affix, in a visible location, a label stating:
- That the system contains antifreeze,
- The name of the product and the supplier,
- The metering and pH at system start-up.
If a top-up is required, it must be done using a mixture identical to that originally used. Same products, same metering, same
procedure.
During complete or partial draining, the water or coolant must not be drained directly to the sewer or the rainwater network.
Consult the regulations in force at the installation site.
Do not exceed the permissible pressure and temperature values. Refer to the unit's technical specifications.
The water or antifreeze mixture circulating in the heat exchangers must be filtered and must not contain any impurities, to
prevent fouling. The performance of a fouled heat exchanger will be severely reduced.
The water or antifreeze mixture must be correctly treated to prevent corrosion or attacks on the materials used.
Recommendations concerning the quality of the water used for the heat exchangers: See table below or regulations in force at
the installation site.
