Air Handling Units
Air handling units are assemblies containing fans and selected filtration, heating, cooling or other air-treatment sections.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Air handling unit (AHU), also referred to as air handler, and is a central air conditioning unit that handles the air circulating within the entire HVAC system. It is among the most crucial components to be considered in designing air conditioning system. AHU is an integrated unit comprising various equipment such as fans, filters, air-control dampers, heating/cooling coils and others. The prime purpose behind using AHU is to accumulate and mix the outdoor air with the indoor circulating air.
Coils and filters impose pressure losses in addition to the ducts. Arrangement, access and controls affect performance and maintenance.
Rated airflow must be considered at the required external pressure. Thermal performance also depends on entering air and fluid conditions.
What turns activity into demand
Air handling units move and condition air, with the installed duct system determining the fan's operating point.
The commercial boundary
Separate AHUs from ductwork, chillers and complete building HVAC systems.
