AHU Control Panel
The AHU (Air Handling Unit) Control Panel is a centralized control system designed to manage and monitor all components of an AHU, such as fans, motors, filters, dampers, heating/cooling coils, and sensors. These panels are critical for maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, air quality, and energy efficiency in HVAC systems, particularly in cleanrooms, hospitals, pharmaceutical environments, and commercial buildings.
Functionality
AHU Control Panels integrate various automation logics, sensors, and safety interlocks to execute the sequential operation of the air handling unit. The system controls supply and return air fans, monitors temperature, humidity, pressure differentials, and filter conditions, and supports alarms and notifications. Many AHU panels are BMS or SCADA compatible for remote operation, diagnostics, and energy monitoring.

Benefits of AHU Control Panels
AHU Control Panels enable precise environmental control, reduce operational errors, and increase system efficiency. They ensure regulatory compliance in critical environments, extend equipment lifespan through timely maintenance alerts, and support real-time diagnostics and energy optimization. This makes them an essential part of any modern HVAC system.
