Introduction of AHU
Conventional System Outline
There are many types of components that compose the conventional HVAC system, such as the chiller,
cooling tower, and boiler. The most important component is AHU for indoor air quality and comfort.

AHU Overview and Classification
AHU is an air conditioning solution for wide areas that can control all four air
conditioning factors (temperature, humidity, air current, and cleanliness).

■ Temperature control ■ Cleanness control

Wide area air conditioning solution

AHU (Air Handling Unit)
Controls the cooling/heating OA / EA / MA (Mixing)
temperature of the room, Controls cleanliness inside

controls the air current in
the room, by deploying a
