Air Handling Units

AHU Units

Commercial air handling units (AHU units) have features similar to residential furnaces but on a much larger scale. Their specific design varies with each application, but AHU units typically contain:

Powerful blowers
Heating components, electric or gas
Air conditioning components
Dampers for controlling air flow and direction
Filters
Sound dampeners

How Commercial Air Handling Units Work

Commercial air handlers are used to draw untreated air into the system, heat or cool it, and force the treated air into open space or into ducts that carry it to space to be heated or cooled. Most also mix outdoor air, called make-up air, with the flow to increase volume, assist in combustion or improve air quality.
