Before diving into troubleshooting tips, we need to understand what an AHU is and how it works. An Air Handling Unit (AHU) is a crucial component in many buildings, particularly in commercial and industrial settings. It's a piece of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) equipment that plays a vital role in maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Here's a simplified overview of how they work:
The Unveiling of the Chilling Challenge - Winter AHU Care
As winter approaches, the efficiency of your HVAC system, particularly the Air Handling Unit (AHU), becomes critical. We delve into the complexities of winter AHU care in this detailed guide, uncovering critical maintenance measures to keep your indoor area cosy and pleasant throughout the colder months.
Section 1: Embracing the Cold - Recognising the Winter AHU Challenge
AHUs face distinct obstacles during the winter. Cold conditions can have an impact on these equipment' performance and efficiency, resulting in higher energy consumption and potential malfunctions. The first step in developing an efficient maintenance strategy is to understand the special challenges that winter provides for AHU’s.

It is critical to examine and seal ducting before
Introduction:
The word "AHU" is frequently used in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry. The Air Handling Unit, or AHU, is a critical component of any HVAC system in managing indoor air quality and temperature. In this detailed guide, we will dig into the interesting realm of AHUs and investigate how a humidifier works inside this system.
Section 1: AHUs Explained
AHUs, or air handling units, are the unsung heroes of HVAC systems. These machines are in charge of conditioning and circulating
How to appropriately size a Belimo damper actuator
Determine the type of damper:
Choose the appropriate damper type, such as an air damper, fire damper, or smoke damper. Different damper types demand different amounts of torque. Utilised to control the flow of air ventilation systems through the damper. It is an electric actuator with remote control capabilities that may be used to open or close dampers or valves, changing the flow of fluids or air in response to external factors or human inputs.
Calculate the torque requirement:
Find out how much torque is needed to operate the damper. This can be accomplished by taking into account the air pressure, damper size, and other application-specific
