WARNING
Hazardous Chemicals!
Coil cleaning agents can be either
acidic or highly alkaline. Handle
chemical carefully. Proper handling
should include goggles or face
shield, chemical resistant gloves,
boots, apron or suit as required. For
personal safety refer to the cleaning
agent manufacturer’s Materials
Safety Data Sheet and follow all
recommended safe handling
practices. Failure to follow all safety
instructions could result in death or
serious injury.

Internal Insulation
The process of cooling and
dehumidification produces
condensate that must be
continuously removed from the air-
handling unit. The section of the unit
from the entering air side of the
cooling coil to the leaving edge of
the drain pan is considered to be the
“wet” section of the unit. Other
potentially “wet” sections are
immediately downstream of a
humidifier and/or an outside air
intake section.

Internal insulation in areas of the
unit that are normally considered to
be “dry” must also be periodically
inspected to assure the insulation is
clean and dry. Wet insulation in an
area that is normally considered to
be “dry” can indicate an operational
problem (refer to the
“Troubleshooting” section on
page 56 for further information). The
equipment should be inspected a
minimum of every six months or
more frequently as operating
experience dictates.

Accumulated dirt and other organic
matter exposed to water or extended
periods of high relative humidity
(60 percent or higher) can support
microbial growth, which must be
removed to prevent the unit from
becoming a contaminant source.
