Main functions
The AHU performs several essential functions to ensure the quality of painting processes:
-
Filtration: Removes dust, particles, and contaminants from the air, preventing defects in painting.
- Temperature control: Regulates the incoming air to maintain consistent conditions during painting and drying.
- Humidity control: Maintains optimal humidity levels to avoid adhesion or finishing issues.
- Ventilation: Ensures a constant and uniform airflow within the work environment.
Main components
Air handling units consist of several key elements:
- Filtration section: May include cartridge, pocket, or HEPA systems for high-efficiency filtration.
- Heating and cooling units: Includes heat exchangers, burners, or cooling systems for thermal control.
- Humidifiers or dehumidifiers: Regulate humidity levels to meet the requirements of the painting process.
