High efficiency air handling unit for wellness areas - Alfamini-Alfamax Series
General
In the modern wellness centers,
swimming pools or SPA, the temperature control and humidity
conditions of the environment
represent a crucial requirement for the visitors comfort.
In particular, the pool area
requires a constant balance at
any time of year; the continuing variation from dry and wet
conditions of the users requires
a perpetual and effective monitoring of both air temperature
(max. 2-3°C higher than water
temperature) and relative
humidity.
With too high humidity values,
breathing is actually inhibited
while too low values can worsen the cold feeling as the skin
evaporation is accelerated.
The particular wellness needs
(high temperatures and constant relative humidity control), the need to maintain certain temperatures in the pool
reintegrating hygienic requirements for a portion daily (usually at least 5% of the volume
of the tank every day), the
great demand for hot water for
sanitary use, the considerable
Selection manual
air flow requirements and the control of sensitive and latent loads to
keep as low as possible the thermal differential between input and
environment are all aspects that
have a strong incentive for the
designer to research plant types
best suited to reduce energy consumptions.
GIVEN THE PECULIARITY OF THE
E N V I R O N M E N T S T H AT C A N B E
SERVED BY ALFAMINI AND ALFAMAX
UNITS, THIS MANUAL IS ONLY
INTENDED TO PROVIDE PRODUCT
INFORMATION AND INDICATIONS FOR
THE CHOICE OF UNITS.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS NEED A
BESPOKE STUDY: IN THIS CASE
PLEASE CONTACT THE TECHNICAL
-COMMERCIAL FAST DEPARTMENT.
To meet the demands of the before
described environments FAST SpA
offers the AlfaMini (5 sizes with
nominal flow rates from 2.500 to
13.000 m³/h) and Alfamax units (3
sizes with nominal flow rates from
16.000 to 25.000 m³/h).

The main unit function, which is
a “plug and play” machine, is to
dehumidify while providing control
of wellness conditions of the environment.
The unit combines a heat pump, a
system of sensible and latent heat
recovery from humid air expelled
from premises and a “free” heating
system of the water pool making
it optimized for the reduction of
energy consumption.
The structure and all internal components are designed for maximum
corrosion resistance.
GB
High efficiency air handling unit for wellness areas - Alfamini-Alfamax Series
Energy efficiency
Facilities where the units of the
Alfamini and Alfamax series find appilcation (swimming center, wellness
area, etc..) are characterized by a
very high energy consumption. The
air handling units should therefore be
optimized for the least possible impact
in the energy balance of the system.
The technical solutions adopted by the units are able to reduce
the energy consumption through:
- Use of efficient energy recovery
from the exhaust air. The recovery
system consists of a single (for the
Alfamini series) or double (for Alfamax)
plate cross-flow heat recovery unit;
- Use of a heat pump with energy recovery function from the
exhaust air and energy integration into the supply air flow.
The cooling system operates with
refrigerant R410A: the TEWI Index
(Total Equivalent Warming Impact),
which represents the parameter related to emissions of refrigerant during
the life cycle of the units and those
due to the CO2 emissions for energy
production, is lower than all other
types of refrigerant currently available.
The circuit is equipped with an electronic expansion valve, which unlike
the conventional thermal expansion valve, it allows to optimize the
operation of the compressor thereby
reducing the electricity consumption.
- Use of high efficiency plug-fans
equipped with electric motors with
efficiency class EFF1.
The direct coupling between fan
and motor allows for the reducing
of losses due to transmission (beltpulley).
These power losses can reach up to
20% of the absorbed power of the
fan shaft;
- Use of inverter devices for the electric
motors speed control of the “plug fans”;
A logic control with automatic handling of operation cycles, so made
to reduces the energy consumption.
Operating limits
The rooms in which the Alfamini and
Alfamax units operate distinguish for
being particularly “aggressive”.
AIR CHARACTERISTICS :
The units are suitable to handle air from
swimming pools treated with chlorinebased disinfectants.
WATER CHARACTERISTICS :
Maximum concentration of chlorine in
water: 1.4 mg/l.

Here under are the schemes of the
main operating modes of the unit
(schemes are referred to the Alfamax unit, the operation modes
of the Alfamini units are the same
as Alfamax units). In the following
schemes please consider that the
hot water coil is always operating,
as it must refer to external air temperatures lower than 10°C with re-

The water reheating coil is operating.
The “operating” cycle is activated for the necessary
time to reheat the room.
This operating mode aims at dehumidifying the room
with the external air, by balancing the poof rain evaporation. The cooling circuit (composed of compressor n.1
and coils n. 2 and 3) allows to recover the sensible and
latent heat of the exhaust air, and transfer it to the inlet
air or water by means of the heat exchange system composed of the double exchanger on the water side.
The hot water coil n. 4 integrates, if necessary, the heating capacity supplied by the cooling circuit, housed on
the inlet air fl ow (condensing coil n.3).

Cycle with heat transfer to water
If the air temperature conditions in the ambience are satisfi ed, the heat so rejecked by the cooling circuit will be
given to the swimming pool water, by means to a double plate exchanger (standard).
A plate exchanger is an essential part of the cooling circuit of the unit (exchanger R410A/water of intermediate circuit, in the following fi gure indicated with n. 1). A further inspectionable exchanger (operating with recirculation
water of the intermediate circuit/ swimming pool water, in the following fi gure indicated with n. 2) is supplied
together with the unit. The heat system thus constituted is of very easy maintenance.
The components and the connections among the exchangers are responsibility of the client.

IMPORTANT COMMENT:
The Alfamini-Alfamax units, in the execution described
in this technical manual, are not able to cool the room,
therefore in these diagrams the allowed temperature
index is equal or inferior to the internal room temperature.

The use of tables and diagrams before described, allow to get the required air flow (and therefore to the Alfamini/Alfamax
size) necessary for the room dehumidification function. It is a simplified selection method: for further information please
contact our technuical/sales department.
It will be introduced now the external index temperature which represent the different temperature/humidity combinations of the external air reported in the following table:

Selection example:
1- Given for example a tank with a surface of 100 m2;
2- Assuming that the water temperature is equal to 27 °C; the indoor air conditions are equal to 29 °C, 60% RH.
With these first data from table 1, we can define that the evaporation is equal to 172 g / hour per square meter of water
surface.
3- Supposing that swimming pool is used for residential purposes. The use factor, derivable from table 2, is equal to 0,5.
Therefore the total humidity generated from water surface (g/h) is given from (tank surface x specific evaporation x use
factor):
100 m2 x 172 g/h m2 x 0,5 = 8.600 g/h
4- Assuming now that inside the hall are 17 people doing “light exercise”. From table 3 we can define that generated
Selection manual
13
GB
High efficiency air handling unit for wellness areas - Alfamini-Alfamax Series
humidity is equal to 450 g/h each person.
Therefore, the total generated humidity (g/h) is given by (number of persons x specific evaporation):
17 persons x 450 g/h person = 7.650 g/h
The total humidity is obtained from the sum of the humidity produced by the evaporation of the water surface with that
generated by people:
8.600 g/h + 7.650 g/h = 16.250 g/h = 16,25 kg/h
5- Now considering, for example, an outdoor temperature index (which represents the project condition/ operating limit
for the Alfamini/Alfamax selected units) equal to 26 (i.e. outside air at a temperature of 26 °C with 54% RH) and temperature/ humidity temperature inside the room of 29 °C with 60% RH: from graphs we obtain an eliminated humidity value of
4.1 g/h for m/h of fresh air into the hall.
6- The outside air flow required to compensate the evaporation produced by the water surface and people is obtained from
the ratio between total humidity and the dehumidifying power of the external air:
16.250 g/h : 4,1 g/h mc/h = 3.960 mc/h
Therefore from the table of nominal technical data, the selected unit according to the flow appears to be the Alfamini 040
with a nominal air flow of 4,000 cubic meters/h.
____________________
According to the difference between the external temperature index and the room internal conditions, the size of the
selected unit can vary a lot. Considering in the same example above that the external index now is 20 and not 26, from
graph we can get the value of humidity removed is 7 g/h for m/h of fresh air into the room. And therefore the external air
flow is:
16.250 g/h : 7 g/h mc/h = 2.320 mc/h
From the table of the nominal technical data the unit to be selected is therefore the Alfamini 025 with nominal air flow di
2.500 mc/h.
Operating limits
Referring to the before example
(external temperature index equal
to 26), the side graph represents the
indicative trend and not binding:
- of the external air inlet in the room
(continuous line) in relation to the
total air derived from the unit;
- of the internal room humidity deriving from unit operation (dotted line).

Internal relative humidity [%]
The external temperature index, per
il quale the Alfamini-Alfamax unit has
been selected, represents the operating limit (referred to the external conditions) over that the unit is not able
to keep the humidity control in the
room. Beyond this limit, if the internal vapore production is constant, the
relative controlled humidity will deviate towards higher values.

The thermostat (C) is used to detect
the water temperature of the intermediate circuit and activate, even
when the flow switch (B) gives its
consent, the heat transfer to water.
The set value of the thermostat is
helpful to ensure that the water
temperature at the water/R410A
exchanger inlet does not exceed 27
°C.
ALFAMAX
Below this value, the heat transfer
cycle to water is not able to activate.
The differential flow switch (B) is
used to detect the presence of water
flow in the heat exchanger (G).
The recirculation pump (E), not handled, will always be active.
The heat transfer to the water cycle
represents an alternative to the supply air heating.
If the set air conditions in the room
are satisfied and the consent to the
heat transfer to water is not active,
the compressor of the refrigerant circuit will turn off.
ATTENTION: THE CHLORINE INSTALLATION MUST BE PLACED AFTER THE EXCHANGER (A)
