Safety and User Information<strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong>2.5 Safety-conscious workingObserve the following when carrying out installation, maintenance and repair work:When working on or around the mains power supplyELECTRICAL HAZARD!All power supply connections must be switched off and checked to see if theyare voltage-free and then secured against unintentional switching on. Earth andshort-circuit them and cover over any neighbouring electrically conducting partsor block them off. Failure to do so may lead to serious injury or death.Working in explosion risk areasDANGER DUE TO EXPLOSION RISK AREA!The unit may only be operated under the conditions described on the type plate.An explosion risk area may be present inside and/or outside the unit when it isin operation and also when it has been shut down – it must therefore beassumed that an explosion risk area is present, even when the unit has beenshut down.When carrying out work in general:PERSONAL INJURY!A danger of injury exists when the units are in operation:– Danger of impacts – doors on the discharge side may be flung open– Danger of crushing due to underpressure at doors on suction side– Danger due to rotating parts such as fans etc.DAMAGE TO THE UNIT!If dampers are closed when the system is in operation, the units may be damagedbeyond repair by under- or overpressure, particularly if the dampers areclosed abruptly.2.6 Proper useDANGER FROM SHARP EDGES!When working on the unit in general there is a danger of cuts being inflicted bythin sheet metal and fins. This applies in particular when carrying out maintenanceand cleaning work on the surfaces of heater and cooler coil fins.Work may only be carried out on the unit if– all poles of the power supply have been disconnected,– the unit is secured to prevent it being switched back on(also see “Electrical hazard”),– all moving parts – particularly the fan impeller, motor, rotary heat exchanger,control and shut-off dampers – have come to a standstill: wait at least5 minutes after switching off the unit,– the heat exchangers have cooled down to ambient temperature.Once work on the unit has been carried out, it must be ensured that– all protective devices are functioning effectively – for example, the protectiveenclosure for the fan (contact protection grille, safety guard) must be locked– no persons are present in danger areas.The <strong>GEA</strong> CompactLine units are intended exclusively for air handling for the followingpurposes:– air filtering with normal levels of contamination,– air heating and/or cooling,8 PR-2009-0022-GB • Subject to modifications • Status 04/2009


<strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong>Safety and User Information– air humidification and/or dehumidification,– heat extraction and/or heat recovery,– or combinations of the above-mentioned tasks.Proper use also stipulates observance of the operation manual as well as inspectionand maintenance intervals specified by <strong>GEA</strong>.Improper useAny use other than that described above is considered improper. If necessary, checkwhether your <strong>GEA</strong> CompactLine units are suitable for your intended purposes. Themanufacturer/supplier is not liable for any damages arising from improper use. Theuser alone bears the risk.The <strong>GEA</strong> CompactLine unit is not suitable for handling of abrasive media.PERSONAL INJURY!The <strong>GEA</strong> CompactLine units may not be operated in the following environments:– in explosion risk areas,– indoors where conductive dust is present;– indoors where strong electromagnetic fields are present;– indoors with aggressive environments that may attack plastics or cause corrosion(especially in environments where zinc is particularly susceptible tocorrosion).2.7 Safety devices2.8 Modifications and changes2.9 Spare parts2.10 Disposal2.11 Selection and qualifications of personnelThe following means are installed depending on the equipment supplied with the unit:– Panels with sash fasteners and doors with switch cabinet locks/lockable handles– Contact protection grilles on fan sections– Doors with door stop devices.You must not modify, add to, or convert, the unit in any way. Any conversions or modificationsto the unit will invalidate the CE conformity. If the delivered units aredisassembled by others on-site, the factory warranty is invalidated. In this case professionalsupervision by <strong>GEA</strong> Happel Service GmbH should be organized in advance.You may use only genuine <strong>GEA</strong> spare parts as <strong>GEA</strong> will not be held liable for claimsarising from the use of third party spare parts.Operating and auxiliary materials, components and filters must be disposed of in a safeand environmentally friendly manner.Every person authorised to work on or around the unit must have read this entire operationmanual and understood it completely – particularly the chapter on safety. It is toolate to do this during work.All work must only be carried out by specialists with sufficient knowledge based on professionaltraining and experience in the following:– Regulations concerning health and safety in the workplace– Accident prevention regulations– Directives and recognised codes of practiceAll skilled persons must be able to assess what the work entrusted to them entails andmust be able to recognise and avoid all inherent dangers.PR-2009-0022-GB • Subject to modifications • Status 04/2009 9


Technical Description<strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong>3 Technical Description3.1 Performance range3.1.1 <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> basic units<strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> basic units are air handling units used for energy efficient ventilationof normally contaminated air in multiparty, office, public and similar buildings.Supply and exhaust air is filtered, heat and humidity is recovered between these airflows which means that:– if the weather is cold and dry (e.g. in winter) and before cold and dry outdoor air issupplied into the building - it is preheated by warm and humid exhaust air.– if the weather is warm (e.g. in summer) and before warm and possibly humidoutdoor air is supplied into the building - it is precooled by cool and dry exhaust air.In order to adapt the <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> units to individual capacity requirements of buildings- the units are available in nine sizes that correspond to nine different capacitystages.The three-part configuration of the <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> basic unit makes it possible to fitthe unit into narrow openings (e.g. through narrow doors). In such a way the unit is ideallysuitable for a subsequent installation in case of modernisation projects.3.1.2 <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> with an air handling moduleOptionally the basic units can be equipped with an air handling module enabling additionalheating or cooling of supply air. Depending on the order, suitable air handlingmodules for heating (using warm water or electricity) or cooling (using chilled water ordirect evaporator) can be installed.10 PR-2009-0022-GB • Subject to modifications • Status 04/2009


<strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong>Technical Description3.2 Unit components and operation3.2.1 Unit componetsThe <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> basic unit is designed with three separable modules.Both outdoor modules consist of a supply or exhaust fan and a filter unit for air filtering.The intermediate module contains a rotation heat exchanger wheel (ECOROT) and aswitch cabinet with controls.Switch cabinet/controlsFan supply/exhaust airFilter fresh/exhaust airFilter fresh/exhaust airFan supply/exhaust airECOROTFig. 3-1:Unit configuration of the <strong>GEA</strong> <strong>COM4plus</strong> basic unit3.2.2 Operation without air handling moduleAir flow: rightECOROTExtract airExhaustairRoomOutdoor airSupplyairFig. 3-2:Operation with right air flowIndoor exhaust air is removed by the fan through the filter system and rotation heatexchanger (ECOROT) and is released outdoors (extract air). Exhaust air heat is recoveredby the ECOROT and transferred to outdoor air. The second fan supplies fresh airthrough the filter system and the ECOROT to the indoor space.By utilizing heat and humidity transfer supply air is approximated to the condition ofexhaust air. An optional rotation heat exchanger wheel with increased recovery rate(up to 90%) or with increased humidity transfer can be used.PR-2009-0022-GB • Subject to modifications • Status 04/2009 11
