Technical Description<strong>GEA</strong> <strong>CAIRplus</strong>3 Technical Description3.1 Scope of performanceOne of the main purposes of <strong>GEA</strong> CAIR units is to facilitate energy-efficient in/outventilation of rooms. Due to their modular construction, the units may be configuredseparately to cater for special air-handling requirements. The air conveyedmay be filtered, heated, cooled, humidified or dehumidified, depending on theparticular application. The aim is to ensure that the quantity and condition of thetreated air meets the customer's requirements.<strong>GEA</strong> CAIR units are generally used in the leisure and commercial/industrialsectors for the transportation and treatment of “normal” air. These units may alsobe specially adapted for cleanroom and hygiene applications. <strong>GEA</strong> CAIR unitsthat include special explosion protection precautions and comply with ATEXGuideline 94/9/EC are clearly identified as such. These units are supplied with anadditional operation manual that must be read and applied in practice.To save energy, a range of components are available such as rotary heatexchangers, plate heat exchangers, heat pipes and liquid-coupled heatexchangers for the recovery of heat, and also the partial recovery of moisture.Units of different sizes and capacities are available. Depending on the application,<strong>GEA</strong> CAIR units can provide a vertical or horizontal airflow with double deck,side by side and straight through arrangements. Units are available for installationindoors or outdoors.The modular design of the <strong>GEA</strong> CAIR units makes it possible to split up units intosuitable delivery packages that will pass through the available on-site openingsduring installation. <strong>GEA</strong> CAIR units are also suitable for the modernisation ofexisting buildings due to the range of unit sizes available and the option of orderingthe units in small delivery packages.3.2 Unit design and operating principleA variety of configurations is possible due to the modular design of the units andthe various applications.The basic design of the unit and its operating principle is illustrated below usingexamples.F.A. = fresh airS.A. = supply airR.A. = return airE.A. = extract air12 PR-2009-0096-GB • Subject to modifications • Status 07/2010

The PTC resistor sensors areembedded in the windings of the motors in a way that optimises recording of thewinding temperature. PTC resistor sensors are temperature-dependentsemiconductor resistors.When the maximum permissible winding temperature of 135 °C is reached, theresistance value increases rapidly. This response, combined with full motorprotection electronics, causes the motors to switch off.NOTEUnlike thermal contacts, PTC resistor sensors are not subject to wear. Theyprovide a high degree of operating safety as they are shock-resistant, vacuumresistantand not sensitive to pressure.DAMAGE TO THE UNIT!The separate sensor with external leads must not be connected to voltage asthis would damage it beyond repair. Measuring voltages greater than 5 V arenot permitted.Connect the sensor only to full motor protection tripping devices (such as<strong>GEA</strong> 912.MVS 1.0).INDUCTION EFFECTSWe recommend the use of shielded cables (such as JY (st) Y, 2 x 2 x 0.5) toprevent the effects of induction on the PTC resistor measuring circuit.

They have been specially harmonised with the PTC resistorsensors used in the motors. As operation of the full motor protection electronicsis based on the closed-circuit current principle they are intrinsically safe. A lockingshutdown after a fault and restart following power failure generally occur inconjunction with <strong>GEA</strong> 912.MVS 1.0 full motor protection tripping devices.Resistance RTemperature T+135 CThe electronic full motor protection tripping devices switch the motors off wherethe following occur:– Overloading– Ambient temperatures exceed permissible limits– The rotor is locked– Insufficient cooling– Short circuit in winding– Wire breakage and loose contacts in the measuring leadsExtended motor protectionShutdown after faultIn the case of a high start-up frequency, intermittent operation and switching rate,and to provide optimum protection against 2-phase running, we recommend thatmotors are protected by thermal overcurrent relays/motor circuit breakers, inaddition to PTC resistors.In the event of a shutdown after a fault check whether this is due to one of theaforementioned causes.Motor protection with thermal contactThermal contacts are temperature-dependent operation elements that automaticallymonitor the winding temperature of a motor. Compared to thermal trippingdevices and motor circuit breakers, these devices provide more effective protectionunder the following circumstances when installed in the motor winding:– Insufficient cooling– Increased ambient temperature– Extreme speed reduction during control and regulation operations– Shutdown of the motor in the event of control voltage failure on the line side– Faulty contacts and cable breakages in the control circuit.The thermal contact opens when the permissible temperature of the winding isexceeded. This interrupts the control signal loop of a control unit, for example.The fan protection drops out and disconnects the motor from the mains.The motor protection is intrinsically safe.7.2.2 Connecting electric motorsIn order for the unit to operate properly it is important to connect it with a righthandrotating field.• Check the rotating field if necessary with a rotating field meter.DAMAGE TO THE UNIT!Correct assignment of the phase sequence to the specified rotational directionmust be checked before the motor is connected.
