Air handling units (AHU) are the lungs of any HVAC system. An air handling unit is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. The AHU takes in outside air, reconditions (filtered and either heated or cooled) it and supplies it as fresh air to the air conditioned room.
As “VENTECH” air handling units are used in harsh environments, it is essential that they are made of high-quality materials to withstand the extreme climate conditions. The AHU is made of galvanized steel or stainless steel and has an aluminium frame with double-walled panels made of galvanized steel (stainless steel as option). Explosion proof fan motors are available on request.
