Single or Double Skin Air Handling Unit – Which one is better?

Air Conditioning Equipment Suppliers in UAE — AHU Manufacturer

Trosten industries, a part of Bin Dasmal Group, being one of top air handling unit suppliers in the UAE has expanded its market reach to provide engineering solutions in the GCC Region, including Oman, KSA, Bahrain, Kuwait.

Single skin and double skin air handling units regulate the temperature within the operating space with minimum utilization of electricity which in turn saves power.

Let us take a closer look at the differences between the single skin and double skin air handling unit and which one you could choose for your desired space.

Single skin AHU

This device is composed of aluminum or stainless steel and operates without making a commotion. It features a robust, lightweight, and long-lasting HVAC supplement that is responsible for an efficient operation. It has standard panels that are typically 20/25 mm thick.

The main advantage of single AHU’s is its simplicity in design and maintenance and reasonable cost. The purpose of this device is to collect outdoor air and consolidate it with the indoor air followed by cooling or heating it and letting it into the building premises.

Single AHUs consist of an air handling unit that combines a heat source, cooling source and distribution ductwork. It can be wholly integrated where heating and cooling sources are detached. The integrated package is commonly installed in the ceiling and supplies the conditioned air into spaces with the same thermal zone.

Double AHU

Unlike single skin air handlers, this device is integrated and differs in structure. It is composed of a self-supported profile of extruded aluminum. It comprises insulated panels that are 25-45 mm thick and includes belt-driven curve blowers and dual sloping drain pan. They are equipped with air mixing chambers and can be manually or automatically controlled.

The main distinction between a single skin and double skin AHU is that the double skin is supplied with a cooling coil and connected with a compressing unit. This cooling coil is placed before the blower to cool the air that passes through the air handling unit. Trosten industries, a part of Bin Dasmal Group, has established itself as a certified HVAC equipment supplier in the UAE and provides premium quality AHUs for hospitals, laboratories, clean rooms and more.

Different types of ductwork material

Ducts are used in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to distribute air to your entire home or commercial building. Proper installation of ductwork is mandatory for keeping your home space comfortable as it regulates the temperature in the entire home. AC duct manufacturers use different materials to manufacture AC ducts.

Galvanized Iron: Galvanized ducts are reckoned for long service life. They cost less than other types of ducting materials. They are sustainable, durable and the standard minimum coating will help in improving the performance, making the material more reliable and predictable. Galvanized iron ducts have a long life expectancy. The material ensures that every part of the ducting is protected. Galvanized coating provides a unique structure that is extremely resistant to damage. They provide the toughest protective coatings which make the galvanized components less susceptible to damage during transportation. These are the most common material used as its zinc costing prevents rust forming.

Mild steel: Mild steel contains high inherent fire resistance characteristics. They are highly cost-effective, durable and recyclable. Mild steel is used in various applications and provide maximum efficiency with minimum losses. Mild steel contains 0.16- 0.29% carbon which makes it neither brittle or ductile.

Stainless steel: Stainless steel ductwork contains a healthy dose of chromium which makes it corrosion resistant. It is ideal for outdoor and some corrosive ductwork applications. They are costlier than galvanized or aluminum ductwork and are used in both industrial and commercial applications. The extreme durability and longevity of the material are among its cost-saving benefits. They are stronger than aluminum and has an added advantage of abrasion resistance. Moisture and condensation resistance of the stainless steel prevents the accumulation of harmful molds or mildews which makes it an environmental friendly option.

Aluminum: HVAC ducts are typically made of aluminum. Because of aluminum’s natural qualities, it is lightweight as well as naturally resistant to corrosion. As the material doesn’t rust, it is perfect for removing the warm, and moist air. Flexible, rigid and highly strong aluminum is often used to route conditioned air within a home or building. Aluminum ducts can either be rigid or flexible which makes the installation process quite simple.
