TECHNICAL DATA
The charge is the same for eQ Master and eQ Prime but in eQ Prime there is only one common supply and the ReCooler gets the power from the AHU. Refrigerant charge
could be changed without notice. See EQKR data lable on delivered unit.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The Reversible Heat-pump unit in the ReCooler HP is designed
at the following external air temperatures:
For cooling from +20 °C to +40 °C (indoor unit)
For cooling from +20 °C to +35 °C (outdoor unit)
For heating from +20 °C to -15 °C with defrost system
For heating from +20 °C to -20 °C with Integrated electrical
defrost heater.
Temperature at installation site from -20 °C to +35 °C.
At temperatures below +10 °C ReCooler HP must be supplied
with crankcase heater on the compressor. An eQ for outdoor
installation is equipped with crankcase heater as default.
Indoor units that risk being in a room with less than +10 °C
at start up must be equipped with a crankcase heater which
needs to be ordered separately.
The ReCooler HP is also designed for extract air tempera-
tures of +16 to +28 °C.
ROTARY HEAT EXCHANGER
The rotor unit in the ReCooler HP is designed to recover heat energy
from the extract air. It operates in sequence with
the reversible heat pump unit to heat and cool the air using
as little electrical power as possible.
INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL DEFROST HEATER
The electrical defrost heater is mainly used to shorten defrost cycle
time. It’s also used to maintain the evaporating temperature at very
low external air temperature. At design temperatures below -15 °C
the heater is a requirement due to the limitations of the compressor.
The electrical heater includes two thermal protectors:

Because of its design, the centre of gravity is offset towards
the inspection side. This must be taken into account when
lifting the unit. The unit should first be lifted slightly, and then
inspected to ascertain that it does not tilt or appear unstable
before being lifted higher.
The unit can be lifted usings its eye bolts if its weight does
not exceed 1.050 kg. If the unit weighs more than 1.050 kg,
it must be lifted by a forklift truck from below using the
specified holes. Lifting by any other means can cause the
unit to tip over due to the offset centre of gravity.
Important!
The unit’s centre of gravity is not in
the middle of the unit.
Take care when lifting.
WEIGHT
4. INSTALLATION AND JOINTING
REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE FLOOR
The floor must be level. This is to avoid torsional forces and
stresses which could damage the internal pipework in the re-
frigerant circuit. The base frame or thermal wheel must not be
removed.
REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO PLACEMENT
The unit must be installed in such a way that allows service in
accordance with this service manual.
INSTALLATION WITH ADDITIONAL EQEE/EQDE - COIL
(AIR HEATER FOR HOT WATER)
The coil should be designed for temperature lift from 0 °C up to
requested air supply temperature. (water/liquid flow must be
sufficient in defrost mode).
The coil should be provided with its own circulation pump. Hot
water from heat source must always be available at the heating
coil. More information about air heater for hot water is available in
document 8638GB.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
The ReCooler HP has 2 drain connections (one for each coil). Both
must be connected to the drain with water traps. FläktGroup can
supply water trap with the AHU delivery, ordering code EQAZ-08.
If installed outdoors in cold climate the drains should be fitted with
heating cables for frost protection.

The unit is tested at the factory and supplied with refrigerant
and closed valves (2). Most of the refrigerant is collected in the
large section and a small amount into the small section.
Other work required to disconnect large and small section
can be done by a ventilation installer.
Description for splitting of refrigerant circuit:
1. Remove the front panel on the small section of the Re-
cooler HP.
2. Remove the refrigerant from the small section with
recovery unit into a service cylinder using schrader
valve (1) (located under the ceiling in large section).
Use digital scale to weigh removed refrigerant amount
from the system.
3. Open the flare connectors (3) (located near the joint
between sections) and cover them.
4. The unit can now be split in two sections.
5. When the sections are assembled again, connect the
flare connectors.
6. Perform a leakage test of the flare connectors.
7. Evacuate the small section by using the schrader valve.
The pressure after evacuation shall be under 2 mbar.
8. Open the closed valves (2) (located under the ceiling in
large section).
9. Charge the circuit with refrigerant removed from the
small section.
10. The unit is ready to run.
NOTE: If the unit is not to be split, just open the closed valves (2)!

6. COMMISSIONING
MAIN CONTROL COMPONENTS
A separate controller is installed in the service section of the
ReCooler HP and includes the following components:
– Main electrical panel disconnect switch
– Miniature circuit breaker
– Control unit with display
The controller is separate from the FläktGroup AHU control-
ler and is a microprocessor-based, programmable electronic
version.
MINIATURE CIRCUIT BREAKER
Automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect
an electrical circuit from damage caused overload or short
circuit.
MAIN ELECTRICAL PANEL DISCONNECT SWITCH
The disconnect switch is used to turn on/off power to the Re-
Cooler heat pump unit. If the ReCooler HP is included in an
eQ Prime with FläktGroup controller the disconnect switch
is combined for ReCooler HP and AHU. For eQ Master with
FläktGroup controller it is different switches for AHU part and
ReCooler HP.
Always lock and tag the unit prior to performing any mainte-
nance or servicing work.
TO SET THE SETPOINT FOR COOLING AND HEATING
The capacity of the ReCooler HP module is dependent on the
need for cooling or heating of the supply air. The temperature
set point that drives the capacity is defined by air handling
unit control, either via Modbus (Climatix only) or via analog
signals (0-10 V and potential free contacts) for other AHU
controllers than FläktGroup.
Important!
Check list

Min. air flows through the ReCooler HP are valid with:
1. Balanced air flows (supply/exhaust), large variation are not
allowed. Exhaust air flow must be higher, equal or max 20 %
lower than supply air flow.
2. AHU fans operation limits (min. airflow and pressure).
3. Correction of defrost factor (CAREL controller) under winter
conditions for EQKR size 041, 050 and 072, with CAREL soft-
ware up to version 5.0.
The ReCooler HP controller includes a protection that prevents
start of the compressor if the air flow of the eQ AHU is below the
minimum stated above.
MINIMUM AIR FLOW RATE AT TURN-DOWN
OPERATING MODE
Two operating modes are available: Economy and Comfort
mode.
Economy mode
In economy mode we prioritise energy recovery so the rotor is
operating at full speed while the compressor is operating in on-
off mode when there is a small re-heating demand. This means
there will be small temperature variations in the supply air.
Comfort mode
In comfort mode we prioritise a constant supply air temperature
so when the re-heating demand is small we reduce the speed of
the rotor so that the compressor can run continuously.
DEFROSTING
The ReCooler HP is equipped with a defrost system that uses
the pressure drop over the coils to decide if there is frost in the
extract coil. On detection of frost in the exhaust coil the circuit
is reversed to heat the extract coil. The rotor speed is reduced
and the electric heater in the exhaust side is started if present
in the unit.
Defrosting will run for a minimum time or as long as it takes to
reach a set condensing temperature. When those conditions
are met the unit reverts to normal operation by first reducing
the speed of the compressor and then reversing the circuit
followed by a return to the required compressor speed accor-
ding to the temperature control signal.
If there is a reheater in the AHU, it can be activated during
the defrost operation. Defrost operation can be detected on
terminals C1/NO1 if that has been selected in the Carel HMI by
means of the set up wizard. Those terminals can alternatively
be used as an alarm signal for the rotor.
RETURN AIR SECTION
The eQ air handling unit can be equipped with both a ReCooler
HP and a return air section for night heating. The AHU must
in this case be equpped with a separate reheater, since the
ReCooler HP shall be out of operation when the return air
damper is opened.
It is not possible to use ReCooler HP with mixing section where
extract and outdoor air is mixed.
ALARM
All the alarms are indicated on the display of the Carel control
unit. A global alarm is available on the terminal block from a
potential-free relay (normally open) (terminals 900, 901).
Most alarms are automatically reset 5 times within a 24 hour
period. If additional alarms are generated then a manual reset
will be necessary. To restart the unit in this case press the
alarm button for 5 seconds.
The controller in the unit checks that the correct mass of refrige-
rant is present in the circuit. A warning is issued from the control-
ler if the refrigerant quantity falls below the minimum limit.
Qualified refrigeration personnel can check the circuit opera-
tion by means of the data given in the controller HMI.

1. At start-up, the rotating heat exchanger speed will
be reduced when the demand compressor
speed is less than the actual compressor speed.
2. With low demand and the compressor at its lowest
speed, the rotating heat exchanger will reduce speed.
When the unit is running in economy mode, the rotating
heat exchanger is always first in the heating sequence and
only begins to decelerate when the compressor is off.
