AHU Air Handling Unit - Custom Modular System Solutions | Keruite Group

Introduction to Air Handling Units (AHUs)
An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is the core component of modern Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. It conditions and circulates air throughout a building, directly impacting indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. Unlike simple fan coils, a modular AHU integrates multiple functions into a single, customizable unit, providing a complete air treatment solution.

What is a Modular AHU?
A Modular Air Handling Unit is engineered from standardized, prefabricated sections or "modules." This design allows engineers to specify and assemble a system tailored to the exact requirements of any project. Key functional modules include:

• Mixing Box Section: Combines return air from the building with fresh outdoor air in controlled proportions for optimal indoor air quality and energy use.

• Filtration Section: Houses a sequence of filters (pre-filters, bag filters, HEPA/ULPA for critical applications) to remove dust, allergens, and particulates from the airstream.

• Heat Exchange Section: Contains coils for cooling and/or heating. These coils use chilled water, hot water, or direct expansion (DX) refrigerant to precisely control the air temperature.

• Humidification/Dehumidification Section: Adds or removes moisture from the air to maintain precise humidity levels, crucial for comfort and certain industrial processes.

• Fan Section: Features powerful, energy-efficient centrifugal fans to move air through the unit and the entire ductwork system against designed static pressure.

• Sound Attenuation Section: Incorporates acoustic liners and silencers to minimize noise transmission from the unit into the occupied space.

Applications of AHUs
