An AHU kit is essentially an adapter that enables the integration of custom, third-party air handling units (AHUs) with DVM S (Digital Variable Multi System) systems.
In more detail, it acts as a crucial interface, allowing these different systems to communicate and operate effectively together. This is particularly useful when you want to leverage the advantages of a DVM S system, such as its energy efficiency and precise temperature control, with an existing or specialized AHU.
Key Functions of an AHU Kit:
- Communication Bridge: Facilitates communication between the AHU's controls and the DVM S system.
- Control Integration: Enables the DVM S system to control aspects of the AHU's operation, such as fan speed, heating, and cooling.
- Monitoring and Diagnostics: Provides the DVM S system with data from the AHU, allowing for monitoring of performance and troubleshooting of issues.
Why Use an AHU Kit?
- Flexibility: Allows you to use a wide range of AHUs with DVM S systems.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Can be more economical than replacing an existing AHU with a new one that is natively compatible with a DVM S system.
- Customization: Enables the use of specialized AHUs designed for specific applications (e.g., cleanrooms, laboratories).
Example Scenario:
Imagine a hospital with an existing AHU system that needs to be upgraded for better energy efficiency. Instead of replacing the entire AHU system, an AHU kit can be installed to integrate the existing AHUs with a new DVM S system. This would allow the hospital to benefit from the DVM S system's advanced control and energy-saving features while retaining the existing AHU infrastructure.
