[News & Trends]:Differences between MAU and AHU in air conditioning units

In modern architecture, the air conditioning box plays a very important role as the core component of the air conditioning system. In air conditioning units, MAU Make up Air Unit and AHU Air Handling Unit are two common devices that have certain differences in functionality and application. This article will provide an in-depth introduction to the differences between MAU and AHU from multiple perspectives such as working principle, application scope, and characteristics


There are certain differences in the working principles between MAU and AHU. MAU is mainly responsible for supplementing indoor air by introducing fresh outdoor air into the room, achieving air circulation and renewal. AHU, on the other hand, is mainly responsible for processing and regulating indoor air through filtration, heating, cooling, and other methods. It can be said that MAU places more emphasis on air supply, while AHU places more emphasis on air treatment


There are also certain differences in the application scope between MAU and AHU. Due to its different working principles, MAU is more suitable for places with high requirements for indoor air quality, such as laboratories, hospitals, etc. AHU is more suitable for places with high requirements for air temperature and humidity, such as offices, shopping malls, etc. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to choose appropriate equipment according to the specific requirements of the site


In addition, MAU and AHU also have different characteristics. MAU usually has high air volume and supply capacity, which can quickly achieve air circulation and renewal. AHU, on the other hand, usually has strong air handling capabilities and can perform more precise regulation and treatment of the air. Therefore, according to specific usage requirements, different devices can be selected to meet the requirements of the air conditioning system


In summary, there are certain differences between MAU and AHU in air conditioning units. Comparing them from multiple perspectives such as working principle, application scope, and characteristics can help us better understand these two devices. When selecting an air conditioning system, it is necessary to choose MAU or AHU reasonably based on actual needs and site requirements to achieve the best air quality and comfort.
