AHU Air Handling Unit and Metering Panels

AHU Panel (Air Handling Unit) as the name suggests, is a box-like unit that handles room air. This can be both in residential or an industrial establishment.

Basically, the AHU panel is used to control
1. Humidity
2. Temperature
3. Air movement
4. Air cleanliness

All parts of the AHU are enclosed in a box-like enclosure. This ensures that every compartment of the AHU is protected from the damage. The box is also insulated to protect the loss of heat from the unit.

This is one of the most important parts of the AHU. It is made of copper tubing and also covered with fins to ensure the increase in heat transfer necessary for the cooling process. This part is used to cool and also dehumidify the air. The fan will suck the hot air from the room and blow it over the cooling coil which is cooled and sent back to the room.

Air handling is connected to the ducts which are of two types, supply air, and return air. Supply air ducts play a role of supplying the cool air from the AHU to the various parts of the rooms. The ducts are always arranged to ensure an even distribution of air in every part of the rooms.

This part sucks the hot return air from the room and blows it over the cooling coil. The type of fan selected will depend on the air volume. Usually, this can be determined by use of a special software.

Air filter also represents a very important part of the AHU Panel (Air Handling Unit). It removes dust, dirt, smoke and any other impurity from the air. It is usually attached to the cooling air. The air first passes through the air filter before moving to the cooling coil.

Fans use approximately 40% of the energy consumed by the system. Specification of the fan is very important in the design of the AHU system. In order to achieve a good efficiency of the fans, it is not just a matter of selecting the best product in the market but selecting the technology that best fit your technology.

In conclusion, an AHU panel plays a very important role when it comes to the air purification of your premises. The dehumidifying aspect, the air purification, and air cooling process gives the comfort needed in the premises. Selecting the right kind of system and energy consumption consideration is very important when doing your selection.
