Central Station
Air Handling Units
1000 m3/hr to 160,000 m3/hr Nominal Air Flow

Product Data
39FX Series Central Station Air Handling Units are designed based on Carrier ‘Moduflex’ Series. The
design of the Central Station Air Handling Units is based on the use of standardized modular panels and
‘penta-post’ construction of perimeter frames. The standard and reference for design and performances
for 39FX Central Station AHUs components shall conform accordance to EUROVENT, DIN, ASHRAE,
AMCA, UL and ARI Standard. Standard units configuration shall be horizontal or vertical draw-through
or blow-through types.

Features/Benefits
• Flexible modular construction with 29
different sizes offers several
configurations of unit height and width
to meet installation space requirements.
• Units are offered with double skin
panels 50mm thickness.
• Designed as per EN1886, fabricated
from heavy gauge galvanized powder
painted steel sheet with linear gasket
between panels to ensure sturdy
construction and excellent leak tight.
• Excellent Casing Performance:
- Casing Strength Class D1(=2A).
- Casing Leakage Class L3(=A).
- Casing Thermal Transmittance
Class T3.
- Casing Thermal Bridging Class
TB2.
- Filter Leakage Class F7
• Fan and motor packages are mounted
on common bases with vibration
isolators to ensure moving parts are
isolated from the casing structure.
• Manufactured at an ISO 9001 listed
facility to guarantee quality.
• ARI 410 Certified coils.

 Dimensions

39FX
GENERAL
The physical size and internal dimensions of the Air Handling Unit is determined by the number of modules. Each module
has a constant dimension value of M = 315mm.
The length of the unit is found from the sum of component part (in modules) required.
Example:
Consider unit 39FX360 with 8 modules long,
Height = (3 x 315 mm) + (2 x 50 mm) = 1045 mm
Width = (6 x 315 mm) + (2 x 50 mm) = 1990 mm
Length = (8 x 315 mm) + (2 x 50 mm) = 2620 mm

• Improve indoor air quality
• Reduce ventilation energy cost
• Recover latent and sensible energy Recovery with HWE
• Saving HVAC operating cost
