AHU Roles in Hvac with smart technology
AHU .... An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is a crucial component of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. It is responsible for regulating and circulating air as part of the HVAC system. Here’s an in-depth look at AHUs, their components, functions, and considerations for optimal performance. Components of an AHU Housing: The enclosure that holds all the components of the AHU. It’s typically made from galvanized steel or aluminum to prevent corrosion and ensure durability. Filters: These are used to remove particulates and contaminants from the air. Common types include pre-filters, fine filters, HEPA filters, and activated carbon filters. Fans/Blowers: These are responsible for moving air through the unit and the ductwork. They can be forward-curved, backward-curved, or axial fans. Heating and Cooling Coils: These are heat exchangers that add or remove heat from the air. They can be hot water coils, steam coils, electric heating elements, or chilled water coils. Humid
