Frame/Other Fittings:
The main frame body for the AHU consists of aluminium
beams which can be removed and recycled. All other sheet metal parts are made
from galvanised steel, stainless steel, or plastisol coated steel. For units with
separator panels between two sections, the separator panels generally have the
same composition as ordinary door/panels and can be recycled as such. Other
fittings which may be recycled are the stadium knobs for holding panels, which are
made from plastic. All self tapping screws and rivets are steel or stainless steel.
Sensors/Cables:
All cables are copper with plastic sleeve and are widely recyclable,
some sensors
(such as gas sensors and pressure transducers) may contain circuit boards which
must be disposed of according to the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) directive inside Europe, or relevant RoHS directives.
Control panel:
Within the United Kingdom and Europe, the majority of electronic
components within the control panel will be required to be sent to an accredited
waste handling centre with facilities for electrical and electronic equipment in order
to safely recycle and manage electronic waste, under the terms of the WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) 2012/19/EU directive which prohibits municipal
disposal of some electrical and electronic components which may contain hazardous
materials, such as lead and polychlorinated biphenyls. Outside Europe, please refer
to local official guidelines on the correct process for handling electronic waste.
