Air handling units (AHUs) are central components of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They are used to regulate and distribute air in large buildings, such as offices, schools, and hospitals, and are critical for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.An AHU typically consists of several components, including a filter, a heat exchanger, a fan, and a set of dampers. The air handling unit is responsible for:
- Filtering the incoming air to remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants.
- Regulating the temperature and humidity of the incoming air.
- Mixing the incoming air with recirculated air to ensure the proper amount of fresh air is supplied to the building.
- Distributing the conditioned air throughout the building through a system of ducts and diffusers.
- Controlling the volume of air being supplied to the building by adjusting the speed of the fan and the position of the dampers.
