Unit Access

Access doors are included for ease of access to all compartments.

Process Mode:

In the production mode, Colmac Coil's Hygienic Air Handler blends fresh outside air with indoor air to maintain positive air pressure, compensating for air escaping through openings. The mixed air is filtered, circulated by efficient plenum fans, and delivered through diffusers or ducts. The system includes exhaust fans for precise pressure control. It's controlled by an Allen Bradley PLC system.

Clean-Up Mode:

During clean-up mode, the system draws in 100% fresh air from outside, conditions it to remove moisture, and expels it using exhaust fans. Cooling or heating may be used based on outside conditions for effective moisture removal.

Start Up Support:

A Colmac Coil technician is available to program the controls at the job-site, ensuring the hygienic unit is optimized for each facility.

Sequential Defrost

When process room temperatures are low enough to result in frosted fins on the evaporator coil, Colmac Coil’s Hygienic Air Handler can be provided with sequentially defrosted evaporator coils. To defrost, the suction pressure of one evaporator is raised, where the process air melts the accumulated frost.

Economizer

During certain times of the year, outside air temperatures are low enough to where the mechanical cooling functions can be reduced or eliminated, thereby saving compressor energy. Colmac Coil’s Hygienic Air Handlers, when equipped with the optional economizer function, can automatically transition to economizer mode.
