Air handling units (AHUs) are one of the key elements in HVAC. If you are working with medium to large-scale HVAC projects, you ’ll be dealing a lot with AHUs. Since I’ve worked on AHUs before, I’ll share the basics of AHUs.
AHUs can be as simple as having only 3 components which are the fan, cooling coil and filter or they can be as complicated as having 7 components which the 4 additional components are mixing box, UV light, heat pipe and heat wheel.
