AHUs are applicable in hospitals, offices, schools, etc. Moreover, an area identified by the presence of an ICU curtain generally depends on AHUs to achieve suitable environmental conditions. Like many other mechanical systems, a major aspect of AHU is maintenance, which will guarantee their performance, durability, and effectiveness. What is an Air Handling Unit?
