Supply and exhaust ventilation

Supply and exhaust ventilation AHU · 01

Supply-exhaust ventilation is not “two fans at opposite ends of the building”. It is a balanced AHU: what you take from outside you throw away, filtered, heated, often with heat recovery. Aurum Prodest selects supply-only, extract-only or a full unit and commissions it with a balancing report.

Extract-only pulls toilet smells and stair dust; supply-only pressurises neighbours. A proper AHU holds near-neutral or slight positive pressure in clean zones. We explain that on survey, not after tenant complaints.

  • Scheme: supply, extract or full AHU
  • Heat recovery where it pays
  • Heater, freeze protection, controls

About the service

Extract-only pulls toilet smells and stair dust; supply-only pressurises neighbours. A proper AHU holds near-neutral or slight positive pressure in clean zones. We explain that on survey, not after tenant complaints.

The unit is selected on flow, external pressure, filter class and Tashkent climate: summer dust, winter coil. Heat recovery (rotary or plate) belongs where run-hours are long. Kitchen grease never shares the office recuperator.

Controls are freeze protection, filter dirty alarms, occupancy clocks and fire shutdown — not “max 24/7 or off at the breaker”. We program day / night / setback.

Duct velocities: 5–8 m/s in mains, quieter at grilles. Flex only at the fan. Silencers, non-return and fire dampers are in the design. The AHU needs a frame, isolation, drain and 600 mm filter access.

Balancing is mandatory. Handover: unit passport, drawings, filter schedule. 5-year workmanship warranty. We also retrofit existing duct if sections are still healthy.

Brands

Ventilation succeeds on airflow design and ducts more than brand stars. Pros/cons of units we install often.

FAQ

What is turnkey supply-exhaust install?

Calc, AHU, ducts, controls, balancing and documents — not hanging a fan and leaving.

Is heat recovery always needed?

No. Short hours and small flow may not pay back. High-change offices and kitchens usually do. We use run-hours and tariffs.

Supply-only possible?

If extract already exists and we count it. Otherwise you pressurise the neighbours.

AHU vs air conditioner?

The AC recirculates and cools. The AHU replaces air. A sealed office usually needs both.

Why is extract without supply a bad idea?

Air still enters through cracks and stairs. That is not hygiene, it is a lottery.

How long does an AHU install take?

A compact office unit — days after delivery. An industrial plant room — weeks. Power and heating water are often the bottleneck.
