Air Handling Unit
In addition to managing the proper ventilation of the interior with outside air, the AHU performs other functions
- Control of the air temperature that regulates the air conditioning system in cold or hot, so that the thermal sensation in the interior is the desired one.
- Relative humidity monitoring for greater indoor comfort.
- The unit’s blower is turned on at hight speed and begins to circulate the air.
Tha variour type of air handling unit
For its part, the places for which the AHU is intended are those in which the flow of people is very large and accumulates many people at the same time and whose natural ventilation is limited.
Energy efficiency of AHUs
The ultimate aim of an air handling unit is energy efficiency and this is mandatory since 2016 by the European Ecodesign Regulation 1235/2014.
By having heat recovery units, the AHU reduces the use of energy required in air conditioning, as in the exchanger, the indoor and outdoor air is mixed, so that when the air reaches the coil the temperature contrast is lower, therefore, the climatic contribution is also lower and energy consumption is also reduced.
