Air Handling Units
39FD, FX
220-7100
Quality Management System Approval
39FD, FX
280 l/s to 27000 l/s
The comprehensive range of Carrier 39F air handling units
is the result of detailed research in the areas of thermal
technology, aerodynamics and acoustics. The wide range
of 23 models offers air flows from 280 l/s to 27000 l/s.
Features
Flexible modular construction
The unique modular unit design enables Carrier to offer the
right technical solution for any application, using minimum
floor space. The units can be delivered in sections for
indoor or outdoor installation, completely assembled, partially assembled or knocked-down for on-site assembly.
Technical on-site assistance from Carrier is available, if
required.
■ Solid construction
With their profiled frames and vertical reinforcements the
Carrier series 39FD, FX air handling units are extremely
rigid, and suitable for high-pressure applications with
increased air flow.
■ Thermal and acoustic insulation in two thicknesses:
25 mm for model 39FD
50 mm for model 39FX.
■
■
■
■
■
■
Simple connection
The supply duct is directly connected to the air handling
unit, without transition piece.
Aesthetics
The standard construction features profiled galvanised steel
frames, and the panels are painted on the outside.
Easy maintenance
The standardised components are interchangeable. Access
to these components is facilitated by easily removable
panels and access doors.
Optimum product design
Carrier, world leader in air conditioning, has a research,
production and laboratory test facility that enables Carrier
to propose the best technical/quality/price compromise.
The technical selection is optimised by the Flex-Air software.
Conformity
Conformity with applicable European environment and
safety standards, and with the European performance
standards.

Identification
The 39FD, FX line of Carrier air handling units is based on
a modular principle. The number of modules respectively
in height and in width determines the cross-section available for air flow and encodes the unit size. The unit length is
39
F
D
4
determined by the number and size of the component parts
required. The service side (connections and access) is
defined as right hand or left hand in the direction of the air
flow.

Unit serial number
0 = cooling coil (2) in the unit
4 = cooling coil (2) with external header
D = insulation thickness 25 mm or
X = insulation thickness 50 mm
Height in modules M
Module M = 315 mm
n = number of modules
P = 25 mm for FD
P = 50 mm for FX
Examples of nominal dimensions (without damper, without pipes):
39FD 450 - length 12 modules: L = 3830 mm; l = 1625 mm and H = 1310 mm
39FD 454 - length 12 modules: L = 3830 mm; l 0 = 1625 mm and l 4 = l 0 + 195 mm
Note:
For an installation with external header, the section to the right of the manifold is 155 mm longer,
if the air handling unit has a length of l 0 ≤ 4 modules, and 195 mm longer for l 0 > 4 modules.

Width in modules M
Quick selection
The 39FD, FX unit size is determined by the air velocity at

Casings
General
The casing of 39FD/FX units is formed by:
■ Frame
The frame is made up of 3 components:
Profiled frame (1)
Forms the overall shape of the section and allows panel fixing.
Construction: press- formed, galvanised sheet steel, closed
and insulated.
Corner piece (2)
Allows connection of the profiled frames in three planes.
Construction: press-formed, painted galvanised sheet.
Features
Modular design
■ Painted galvanised sheet metal
■ Double skin
■ Fully insulated
■ Leak tightness class “A”, in accordance with Eurovent 2/2
■ Acoustic sound absorption
■ Assembly of sections from the outside
■
Diagrams
Intermediate mullions (3)
Recessed to accept panels and allows panel fixing.
Construction: press-formed galvanised sheet steel - closed
and insulated.
■
Panels
They are made of:
Externally galvanised and painted sheet metal (4).
Insulation (5).
Internal protection wall galvanised in solid or perforated
sheet metal (6).
■
Access door
Gives access to the casing to bag filters, fan section, etc.
Two module widths. Hinged doors have internal and external handles (complies with CE regulations).
■
Insulation
Thermal insulation and sound absorption with fibreglass,
density 32 kg/m3, non-flammable class M0, in accordance
with CSTB.
Symbols
L = length in modules

Options
■ Insulation
Fibreglass 48 kg/m3 (50 mm thickness)
Rock wool 60 kg/m3 (50 mm thickness)
■ Galvanised and painted, externally protected steel roofing
Made up of several elements, protects the casing against
adverse climatic conditions and against the sun. A slip joint
assures leak tightness between elements (a).
■ Sub-base, made of painted galvanised sheet steel (b).
100 mm high, permits isolation of the unit base. Adjustable
feet can be added.
■ Air inlet hood in galvanised painted sheet metal with theftproof wiremesh screen protection (c)
Its size and shape prevent the ingress of water.
■ Air discharge hood in galvanised painted sheet metal with
wiremesh safety screen (d)
Matches the fan size. Designed to prevent ingress of water.
■ Flexible connections
Made of class M1 metal, and connection frame made of
galvanized metal.
■ Light
The assembly incorporates a bulkhead light, to IP44 or
IP55, a switch, and a pre-wired connection box. The access
door can include an inspection window.
■ Finish
Perforated double skin inside. There are various finishes
available (slatted, perforated double skin, painted inside or
outside, assembly of sections from the inside etc.)

Plate heat recovery systems
General
■ The plate heat recovery coil consists of several layers of
plates, alternatively folded and plain so that they form flow
channels.
Each row of channels is arranged perpendicular to the
preceding channel, and the fresh air flow and return air
flow cross across the heat exchanger.
Features
■ Efficiency of 40 to 55%
■ No electrical connection
■ Air flow completely separate
■ Low investment
■ Low maintenance
Standards compliance
■ EUROVENT 10/1
■ ENV 308
Diagram
Construction
■ The heat exchanger consists of aluminium plate assemblies, installed diagonally in the casing. Silicone seals
assure complete air tightness. The lower part of the casing
forms a water-tight pan to recover possible condensate.
Freeze-up
Direct intake of fresh air into the unit might cause freezing
of the heat exchanger. The critical temperature at which
freezing might occur depends on the temperature and the
relative humidity of the return air, as well as on the
proportion of outside air to return air. The freeze-up zone
must not be exceeded. Freezing can be prevented by
increasing the fresh air temperature, either with preheat or
by recycling a part of the return air or by bypassing a part
of the outside air.

■ The rotary heat recovery coil consists of several circular
layers of wavy plates.

Electric heating coils
General
■ The heating elements are sheathed finned elements. The
number of elements is always a multiple of three, for wiring in star or delta arrangement, depending on the operating voltage (230/400 V).
Standards compliance
■ CE standards (low voltage)
Construction
■ The electric resistance elements are mounted in a galvanised steel frame sized to suit the internal dimensions of
the air handling unit. They are prewired and include a terminal board for power and control connections. A safety
thermostat with manual reset opens at 90°C and is located
on the upper side of the coil frame. If a electric heating coil
is located close to a filter bank or an electric motor an antiradiation screen must be inserted.

recording the fan noise and emitting an identical sound
opposed to the phase direction.
Control is fully automatic.
It consists of:

General
■ Passive sound attenuation:
Passive attenuation uses the sound absorption properties of
mineral fibres, permitting high-efficiency sound absorption
in the high-frequency range (> 500 Hz).
Construction
Passive attenuation
Sound attenuation is achieved with the aid of incombustible mineral wool panels (MO), inserted into galvanised
frames placed parallel to the air flow direction. The surfaces exposed to the air currents are treated with glass wool
to prevent corrosion.
The standard thickness of the baffles is 200 mm.

Ventilation
A - Fans
General
■ Fan laws:
The volume (Q) changes as the fan speed (n) changes
n1
Q2 = Q1 n2
The pressure (p) changes with the square of the speed (n)
n1 2
p2 = p1 ( n2 )
The absorbed power (Pabs) changes with the cube of the
speed (n)
n1 3
Pw2 = Pw1 ( n2 )
Q = volume, n = speed, p = pressure, Pw = power.
The fan curves refer to air of a specific weight of 1.2 kg/m3
at a temperature of 20°C and at atmospheric pressure of
101325 Pa and a relative humidity of 50%.
Other conditions require correction.
