    Frost Protection on AHU Unit with Plate Heat Exchanger Heat Recovery

    Yes, it is a pre-heat coil. The AHU runs only during the day, and it will be off night time thats why we added glycol system to protect the coil. I'd like to know what temperature I need to bring the outside air to. I think I have to heat outside air up to 55F but I saw someone was saying it...
