2- Plug Fans
Most of the energy consumed by an air handling unit is the electricity used to run the fan
motor, whilst only a small percentage of the energy goes to heat generation, so high fan
efficiency means power saving, this is why the plug fans which are high fan efficiency
significantly reduces the consumption of electricity, and therefore the operation cost.
Direct Drive simplicity converts to less operating expenses also as there are no fan shafts,
bearing, belts or guards to maintain.
Noise emission level of air handling units is also one of the most important environmental
factors which we fine tuned our product to reduce it, the choice of using plug fan will be
ideal to achieve this goal. Plug fans are extremely quiet efficiency and quiet operation
make an exceptional combination for your air handling unit.

installed on Fan motors to vary the fan speed in applications where the supply CFM is not
constant and must be varied. In applications where Variable Air Volume boxes (VAVs), for
example, are installed throughout the occupied space, the total CFM discharged by the Air
Handling Unit will depend on the demand requested by the VAV boxes. When the space
is satisfied and the VAV box closes its damper, the total required CFM will be reduced. To
avoid over pressurizing the ducting, a Variable Frequency Drive is installed to reduce the
speed of the fan and hence reduce the total CFM discharged by the unit.
A full range of Variable Frequency Drives from 0.25 kW up to 132 kW in voltage ratings of
(220V-1phase, 220V-3Phase, 380/480V-3phase) with an operating ambient temperature
rating up to 50oC are available.
The drives are easy to configure and operate with built-in Proportional, Integral, Derivative
(PID) control based on flow or temperature. Equipped with Dynamic Brake Control,
Torque Control, Dual Motor Control and Threshold Comparator. Intelligent Thermal
Management functionality to reduce tripping and motor noise. Complies with EN61800-3
and EN50082-2 for Electromagnetic Immunity as well as EN61800-3 for Electromagnetic
Emissions. EMC filters can be installed for more stringent requirements. Also equipped
with protection for under voltage, over voltage, phase loss, drive overload, over current,
over temperature, ground fault, and short circuit.

Vibration Eliminator
In order to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration, the complete fan motor subbase assembly is mounted on set of anti-vibration mounts.
As standard for TW2 - TW35, the fan assembly is a common base frame entirely isolated
from the unit by rubber in shear while as standard in units TW47 - TW120, the frame

In order to recover energy and conserve its consumption by exchanging the energy
between the supply and exhaust air streams, different types of heat recovery systems can be provided built-in Zamil TW-series units. This will assure the economical
running costs of the units.

Energy Recovery Wheel

The heat wheel is a rotating wheel consisting of an air permeable aluminum matrix with
a large interior surface, the wheel consists of two half moon sections, and it should be
installed in a double deck or side by side units where the supply air flows through one half
of the rotary wheel while the exhaust air flows in counter flow through the other half, the
wheel is rotating with low speed simultaneously.
Energy wheels designed to recover either sensible heat only or both sensible and latent to
meet the requirements of the indoor air quality. The recovery of sensible heat achieved
when the sensible heat is transferred as the metallic substrate gain and stores heat from the
warmer air stream and gives it up to the cooler stream while the rotation of the wheel.
Latent heat is transferred as the metallic substrate which is coated by a hygroscopic coating condenses moisture from the air stream that has the higher humidity ratio through
absorption and releases moisture through evaporation into the air stream that has a lower
humidity ratio. The TW-series selection software optimizes the selection of the energy
wheel to achieve the needed indoor conditions.
- Heat wheels are ideal for applications that demand high percentage of fresh air intake.
- Wheels are AHRI 1060 certified as per ASHRAE standard.
- Wheels are Eurovent certified.

Energy Recovery Wheel

Run Around Coils

It is an air to water heat exchanger system, it is used to recover sensible heat only, it consists
of two coils, one located in the exhaust air stream and the other in the supply air stream,
both of them are connected with a pump in a closed circuit (pump and piping by others), the
heat transfer medium is water.
When the cold air passes through the first coil of the run around system which is located in
the cold air stream, it cools down the water inside the coil, after the water looses heat, the
pump passes this cold water to the coil in the hot air stream, heat exchange happened thus
cooling the air and warming the water, warm water returns to the coil in the cold stream and
the cycle is repeated.

Run Around Coils

Plate Heat Exchanger

This type of heat recovery systems depends on the thermal conduction propriety to recover
sensible heat only.
The plate heat exchanger is specially thermoformed plates, connected together via folded
edges permanently bonded and sealed. The supply and exhaust airflows pass crossways through
the heat exchanger alternate aluminum layers of the plate heat exchanger. The two air
streams are totally separated by the nature of the heat exchanger construction, so to use this
type of heat exchangers, the unit shall be a double deck unit.

Plate Heat Exchanger

Heat Pipe System

This type of heat recovery system utilizes the refrigerant phase change property. It consists of two coils connected to each other circuit by circuit independently; each circuit is
filled with a refrigerant.
Two main functions can be done using this system; it can be used for dehumidification or
for heat recovery, according to the arrangement of the heat pipe coils with respect to
other components.
Heat pipes for dehumidification function may be described as having two sections:
Pre-cool and reheat. The first section is located in the incoming air stream. When warm air
passes over the heat pipes, the refrigerant vaporizes, carrying heat to the second section
of heat pipes, placed downstream. Because some heat has been removed from the air
before encountering the evaporator coil, the incoming air stream section is called the precool heat pipe.
Air passing through the evaporator coil is assisted to a lower temperature, resulting in
greater condensation removal. The overcooled air is then reheated to a comfortable
temperature by the reheat heat pipe section, using the heat transferred from the precool heat pipe.
This entire process of pre-cooling and reheating is accomplished with no additional energy use. The result is an air conditioning system with superior ability to remove moisture.

Heat Pipe For Dehumidification

For Heat Recovery function the heat pipe also consist of two sections, each of them
installed in an air steams, side by side or staked depending on the unit arrangement.
When warm air passes over the heat pipes, the refrigerant vaporizes; carrying heat to the
second section and the warm air will be cooled down while the relatively cold air in the
cold air stream will condense the refrigerant which will return back to the first part by
gravity, then this cycle repeated.

Humidifiers
1- Steam humidifiers
Zamil TW-series Air handling units can be equipped with a self-contained humidifier, which
is electronically controlled to sense and control the humidity.
The steam is generated in a polypropylene cylinder mounted onto the outside of the
humidifier section within a special enclosure. A stainless steel distributor suitable in length
passes through the unit casing to inject steam in the air stream to reach the needed
humidity conditions.

Steam Distributor

2- Air Washers
Zamil air handling units can be equipped with air washer section which mainly serve for
adiabatic cooling, humidifying and air washing.
Air washer is a section in which the air flow is brought in contact with a large quantity of
sprayed water. Depending on the condition of the circulating water, air washers are forming a
basic part of air conditioning plants which easily combine washing, humidifying and cooling
of air.
While water evaporates on the surfaces of large drops and impurities contained in the air
are washed out, extremely small droplets (Superfine aerosols) can be fully absorbed by the
air and they are designed to avoid the formation of superfine aerosols as far as possible.

Air Washer

3- Adiabatic Cooling/high pressure humidification

Zamil adiabatic cooling/high pressure humidification is a system which is ideal for the humidification of medium/large industrial environments and large volumes of air.
The system atomize water into very fine water particles that evaporate easily in the air,
humidifying and cooling it. Evaporation occurs by absorbing sensible heat from the air
which becomes colder and more humid.
Along with this system an electronic controller is provided to manage the supply of water
and compressed air to the nozzles to maintain the humidity/temperature set point.

Diffuser Plate
The diffuser plate is a perforated, heavy gauge galvanized steel plate provided to shutter
the air and distribute it uniformly across the section.
The use of diffuser plate becomes essential when a functionally sensitive section - like
HEPA filters or an energy wheel, is facing high face velocities.
Diffuser plate

Sound Attenuators
Sound attenuators can be used where a significant reduction to fan noise is needed.
Attenuators can be provided in the supply and/or return air side with different lengths to
provide a range of attenuator performances. Sound attenuators casings are produced with
G-90 galvanized steel sheets formed and lock formed seams with a sealant.
The acoustic infill materials are inert, non-flammable, non-hygroscopic and will not sustain
vermin or fungus and odorless, the infill has a glass tissue facing and is contained behind
galvanized perforated metal, which prevent infill material damage and fiber erosion up. To
reduce the pressure loss and regenerated noise, the splitters are radiused at both ends.

Sound Attenuators

Drip Eliminators
To avoid water carry-over in humid areas or when the velocity of air across the cooling
coils is high, drip eliminators are provided.
As standard, the drip eliminators are provided in two cases:
1- When the velocity across the coil is 2.64 m/s or more.
2- When the water content of the air is greater than 10.5 g/kg of dry air.
Other than in these two cases, the drip eliminator is given as an option upon the request of
the customer. Drip eliminator blades are PVC blades encased within a galvanized steel frame.
The blades are designed to completely prevent water carry-over with low pressure drop.
The drip eliminator is commonly fixed directly to the coil casing, however, separate section for the drip eliminator can be provided upon request.
