How can an AHU save you money?
An air-handling unit saves you money in so many ways. It can reduce energy consumption by controlling the temperature of the air whilst maintaining desired humidity levels, thus saving you money on your bills. It can also reduce maintenance costs by ensuring the air is filtered and contaminant-free, reducing the risk of costly repairs or replacements. Additionally, air handling units can reduce the energy used to heat or cool an area by using advanced insulation materials to prevent energy loss. All of these factors can help reduce overall energy costs and save money in the long run.
How do Air Handling Units work?
Consisting of a fan, a filter, a coil, and a heat exchanger, Air Handling Units (AHUs) are devices used to control the temperature, humidity, and air quality within buildings. The process is simple:
• The AHU draws air from the building into the unit
• The filter traps airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and other allergens.
• The coil cools or heats the air depending on the desired temperature.
• The heat exchanger then transfers heat from the air inside the building to the air outside.
• The air is then discharged back into the building, creating a comfortable indoor environment.
AHUs are ideal where there is a flow of people in large areas with limited natural ventilation, such as; convention & exhibition halls, hotels, gyms, function rooms & restaurants. They are also suitable options for hospitals and laboratories.
