An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is a central HVAC component that conditions and circulates air through ductwork, providing ventilation, cooling, heating, filtration, and humidity control for commercial and industrial buildings.
An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is a large indoor HVAC system designed to treat and distribute conditioned air throughout a building. It works with chilled water systems, DX (direct expansion) cooling coils, boilers, or heat pumps to regulate indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality.
AHUs consist of modular sections that may include filters, cooling and heating coils, supply and return fans, dampers, humidifiers, heat recovery systems, and control panels. They deliver fresh, filtered air while removing stale indoor air, ensuring a comfortable and healthy environment.
AHUs are widely used in office buildings, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, airports, factories, pharmaceutical plants, and clean rooms where precise environmental control is essential.
