SECTION 3 - HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INSTALLATION

DELIVERY AND STORAGE

To ensure consistent quality and maximum reliability,
all AHUs are tested and inspected before leaving the
factory.

Short Term

Indoor AHUs: Under no circumstances
should outdoor storage be used.
• Remove of ventilate wrapping to
prevent condensation.
Outdoor AHUs: Recover AHUs after
inspection or use tarps during storage.
Short term storage is six months or less from date of
shipment. Storage maintenance during this time is
usually limited to the following:
• Rotate fans every four weeks, starting on the de-
livery date to prevent moisture from damaging the
bearing.
Rigging and lifting should only be done by a professional rigger in accordance with a written
rigging and lifting plan. The most appropriate rigging and lifting method will depend on job spe-
cific factors, such as the rigging equipment available and site needs. Therefore, a professional
rigger must determine the rigging and lifting method to be used, and it is beyond the scope of
this manual to specify rigging and lifting details.
Form PA102.20-N1
• If the AHUs are going to be stored out-of-doors,
prior to installation, special care must be taken to
cover and protect the AHUs from:
• Dust
• Rain and snow
• Rodents
• Construction vehicles and personnel.
• Condensation / Ventilation required
• Protect all parts and porous materials from rain
and other sources of moisture. Decontaminate or
replace parts as needed to make sure microbial
growth is not introduced to the AHU.
• Store the AHU on a firm, flat surface to prevent
distortion. Block the AHU off the ground to protect
components from water or ground moisture.
