What is and how does a ductless AHU work

Ductless Air Handling Units

In an industrial environment, effective energy resource management is a key factor in achieving high energy efficiency. Ductless air handling units (AHUs) are a modern solution supporting ventilation and air conditioning systems in industrial facilities.

 

What is a Ductless AHU and How Does It Work?

This is a device used for the direct heating and ventilation of rooms in various types of buildings, such as warehouses, industrial halls, shopping malls, and service facilities. A ductless AHU does not require a ductwork system for air distribution. Its primary component is the outdoor unit, which draws in fresh air from the outside. The cooling or heating of the air stream is performed by a heat exchanger and a compressor integrated into the unit. It ensures clean and fresh air indoors and distributes it precisely throughout the building.

 

Where is a Ductless AHU Installed?

These units are most commonly installed inside the building (e.g., in suspended ceiling spaces or technical rooms) or on the roofs of industrial, office, and residential buildings. Due to their compact size, they can easily be adapted to any space.

 

Our product range also includes the XK-P suspended AHU, which is specifically designed for installation in ceiling zones and underfloor spaces. The XK-P suspended unit can be mounted in horizontal, vertical, or flat positions. It features a specialized casing that reduces noise levels. This device is ideal for rooms where the building's architecture prevents the installation of larger equipment, such as the monoblock AHUs available in our offer. The XK-P suspended unit stands out for its high energy efficiency, as it is equipped with a heat recovery function. This can lead to significantly lower building operational costs.
