Before Installation
- Confirm the core fits the AHU section with clearance for seals
- Verify duct connections align with the core ports
- Plan condensate drainage for sensible cores in cooling mode
During Installation
- Seal all interfaces to prevent airstream leakage
- Support the core to avoid stress on the frame
- For rotary wheels, align the drive and check the seals
Controls
Wire summer bypass, frost protection, and alarms per the manual. Mis-wired frost control is the top cause of winter failure.
After Installation
Balance airflow, commission, and record baseline temperatures and pressure drop for future troubleshooting.
