Controlled Air for Better Indoor Environments

An Air handling unit is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

The AHU takes in outside air, reconditions it by filtering and either heating or cooling it, and supplies it as fresh air to the air conditioned room.

Air Treatment & Circulation

AHUs provide a central point for handling, conditioning and supplying air according to the requirements of the connected HVAC system.

What is an Air Handling Unit?

An AHU plays an important role in the movement and conditioning of air within a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

Air Handling Unit (AHU)

An Air handling unit is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

The AHU takes in outside air, reconditions (filtered and either heated or cooled) it and supplies it as fresh air to the air conditioned room.

Depending on the requirements of the HVAC system, air treatment may also involve control of moisture through humidification or dehumidification processes.

What Does an AHU Do?

An AHU brings together different air treatment functions to support the connected HVAC system.

≋

Air Circulation

The AHU regulates and circulates air as part of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

◉

Air Filtration

Outside air can be filtered as part of the reconditioning process before it is supplied to the conditioned space.

❄

Air Cooling

Air can be cooled within the air treatment process according to the requirements of the HVAC system.

☀

Air Heating

Heating can be incorporated into the air reconditioning process where required.

≋

Humidity Control

Humidification and dehumidification processes can be used to manage moisture conditions in the air.

↑

Fresh Air Supply

After treatment, conditioned air is supplied to the air conditioned room as part of the HVAC system.

Humidification & Dehumidification

Moisture control is an important part of air treatment where the HVAC application requires management of humidity conditions.

01

Humidification

The process in which the moisture or water vapour or humidity is added to air without changing its dry bulb (DB) temperature is called as Humidification.

Humidification can therefore be considered where additional moisture is required as part of the air treatment process.

02

Dehumidification

The process in which the moisture or water vapour are removed from air. The dehumidification equipment will take the ambient air and will treat it before it is exhausted into the enclosure.

Dehumidification can be used where moisture removal is required as part of the overall air treatment arrangement.

How an AHU Works

The air handling process involves taking air, treating it according to the system requirement and supplying the conditioned air to the required space.

01

Air Intake

Outside air is taken into the air handling system.

02

Air Filtration

Air is filtered as part of the reconditioning process.

03

Air Conditioning

Air may be heated, cooled or treated for moisture according to the application.

04

Fresh Air Supply

Treated air is supplied to the air conditioned room.

Benefits of AHU Systems

Properly planned air handling systems can support controlled air movement and air treatment within HVAC installations.

✓

Controlled Air Circulation

Supports the controlled movement and supply of air within the HVAC system.

◉

Air Filtration
