Air Handling Unit (AHU) in HVAC system

-

 An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is a crucial component in HVAC systems, responsible for conditioning and circulating air in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. Here are some key details about AHUs:


- Definition: AHU is a self-contained unit that houses various components like fans, coils, filters, and controls to process and distribute air.


- Functions:

    - Heating, cooling, or ventilating air

    - Filtering and cleaning the air

    - Controlling humidity and temperature

    - Circulating air through ductwork


- Types:

    - Rooftop AHUs

    - Indoor AHUs

    - Modular AHUs

    - Custom-built AHUs


- Components:

    - Fans (supply, return, and exhaust)

    - Coils (heating, cooling, and heat recovery)

    - Filters (air, gas, and particulate)

    - Humidifiers and dehumidifiers

    - Controls and sensors


- Applications:

    - Commercial buildings

    - Industrial facilities

    - Hospitals and healthcare

    - Data centers and telecom

    - Large residential complexes


AHUs play a vital role in maintaining indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. They come in various sizes and configurations to suit specific requirements.
