Ahu Units

Ahu units are an essential part of any HVAC system, providing the necessary air flow to keep a building comfortable and safe. An AHU, or air handling unit, is a large metal box that contains a blower, heating and cooling elements, filter racks or chambers, dampers, and other components. It is used to regulate and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The AHU takes in outside air, heats or cools it, and then distributes it throughout the building. The AHU also filters and humidifies the air, and is typically connected to ductwork that carries the air to the different rooms in the building. AHU units are designed to provide a comfortable environment for occupants, while also ensuring that the air is free of contaminants and pollutants. They are an important part of any HVAC system, and should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that they are working properly.
