Energy-Efficient Air Handling Unit (AHU) for Modular Operating Rooms and Labs

The air handling system is the most essential element of the environmental control in the construction of cleanrooms and modular operating rooms. The choice of the right Air Handling Unit (AHU) does not only dictate the level of cleanliness in that space but also the energy consumption, stability in the functioning of the equipment as well as the experience of the user.

What are Air Handling Units?

What are Air Handling Units? Simply put, an air handling unit (AHU) is a system that integrates air supply, filtration, heating, cooling, humidification, and dehumidification. Its mission is to ensure air quality, temperature and humidity, and airflow stability, helping the space maintain the specified cleanliness level over the long term.

In modular operating rooms and high-quality laboratories, AHUs not only provide clean air but also work in conjunction with purification equipment such as HEPA filters, FFUs, and air showers to ensure a sterile and safe environment.

Energy-saving Design: Reduce Energy Consumption, Improve Efficiency

The use of energy-saving air handling units (AHUs) is gradually becoming the unit of choice in different cleanroom projects. Our AHUs have optimized aerodynamic design and high-efficiency variable frequency fans with smart control systems. They also scale air volume and energy use according to real load, and the resultant long-term operating expenses are greatly decreased.

The modular design of the units facilitates maintenance and expansion, ensuring the appropriate air treatment solution for different cleanroom classes (Class 100–10000).

Air Handling Unit Heating and Environmental Control

Precise control of temperature and humidity is crucial in many industrial applications. Our systems support air handling unit heating, which can be combined with steam, electric, or hot water coils to quickly respond to room temperature demands, ensuring both occupant comfort and process stability.

For laboratories, hospital operating rooms, and food processing environments, stable temperature and humidity are not only crucial to production efficiency but also directly impact product quality and safety. Through intelligent sensors and automatic control logic, the units enable real-time adjustments, creating a reliable cleanroom environment for our customers.

FAQ

Q1: I'm new to cleanroom projects and don't know much about AHUs. Could you explain?
A: Air handling units (AHUs) are core equipment used to control indoor air quality, temperature, and humidity. They integrate air distribution, filtration, heating, cooling, and humidification to ensure cleanrooms and modular operating rooms meet specified cleanliness levels.

Q2: Why do AHUs need heating?
A: In many cleanrooms or laboratories, temperature fluctuations can impact process stability and product quality. Our AHU heating function quickly adjusts the temperature using steam, electric heating, or hot water coils to maintain a constant temperature, ensuring comfortable, stable, and safe air in the operating room or laboratory.

Q3: Why can't we just use a conventional air conditioner?
A: Conventional air conditioners only adjust temperature and humidity, while an AHU provides air filtration, cleanliness control, and precise airflow management to meet cleanliness levels from Class 100 to Class 10000. Furthermore, it can work collaboratively with HEPA filters, air showers, FFUs, and other equipment to ensure the cleanroom environment meets industry standards.
