THE PROS AND CONS OF USING THE INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL AIR HANDLING UNIT

THE FEATURES OF AIR HANDLING UNITS

The major benefit of an air handling unit is that it can be located in a separate exterior location. Outdoor units for commercial air conditioning are typically mounted on rooftops or along the outside outer walls, but internal units must be installed separately inside the spaces. Moreover, maintenance must be accomplished on every indoor unit placed in an area, it imposes expense and time. Air handling systems can be combined and placed together at a distinct external place, allowing service to be performed at that specific place.

One of the primary benefits of using an Air Handling Unit is that your employees and visitors will have a far more relaxed environment in the workplace. While an air conditioning system cools the workplace according to the outside weather, an AHU detoxifies the airflow entering your inside area and also regulates the humidity and moisture.

THE BENEFITS OF HAVING ONE AHU PER LEVEL ARE AS FOLLOWS:

On each level, the Air handling unit might be reduced in size.

Lesser horsepower fans frequently offer greater performance characteristics.

For lower AHUs, various volts of power may be provided.

Compact machines and fans are simple to maintain and restore.

The air handling unit (AHU) is a package of air conditioning elements (such as fans, cooling coils, filters, humidifiers, and dampers) that is placed as a separate unit and linked to a system of duct pipes that transports the compressed air.

AIR HANDLING UNIT DRAWBACKS

Air handling units have some drawbacks. If the air handling equipment fails, the whole facility will be without air conditioning. As a result, more than one air handling unit must be placed to supply backup.

New developments are significantly more efficient in order to prevent heat escaping & to minimize electricity bills, thus the air within the structure is more prone to turn damp & moist. This moist air thus poses a greater risk to your employees and visitors, as well as to the structure of a building itself, with the damp air possibly causing mold and humidity issues.

Mold is a harmful pollutant since it has the potential to create allergic responses in employees and visitors, as well as disruption to the structure of the building, and it needs repair work to remove the harmful effects.

THE PROBLEM FACING ONE AHU PER LEVEL ARE AS FOLLOWS:

Usually more costly than a single huge Air handling unit

Every AHU requires new air ducting and fresh air

More AHUs often need more square space

As the number of filters & coils increases the maintenance expenses can affect.

Typically, in a huge space, one large air handling unit is less expensive & it saves space and decreases the maintenance expenses.

CONCLUSION:

Air handling units are used for large commercial buildings and huge industrial areas for fresh air supply and air filtration as well as air conditioning. It consumes less electricity as compared to other devices but it required a backup unit and complete maintenance.
