Overview

Air handling equipment is any equipment that you use to manipulate air flow within a confined space. Some of the most common uses of air handling equipment include:[1]

  • Power creation
  • Heating and cooling
  • Filtering for air quality/breathability
  • Ventilation
  • Air pollution control

Types of Air Handling Equipment

  • Industrial vacuum cleaners
  • Blowers
  • Filters
  • Air compressors
  • Dust collectors

Industrial vacuum cleaners

Industrial help users remove debris, dust or other unwanted particles from large spaces and/or industrial spaces. Examples of such settings include: commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, hotels, big box stores, carpentry workshops, metalworking facilities, and more.

To work, industrial vacuum cleaning equipment usually works by either creating a vacuum (vacuum generation) or creating airflow.

Blowers

Blowers, sometimes called blower fans or air blowers, force air through enclosed spaces. They are known for producing high pressure ratios. Most often, users install blowers to create heating, cooling, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC[2]). They can also install them for purposes like: drying, aeration, exhaust, and vacuum creation.

You can find blowers in both buildings (houses, warehouses, commercial buildings, etc.) and machines.

Blowers move air using a combination of a turbine or motor, a shaft, a hub, and rotating blades.

Filters

Filters, or air filters, are both a type of air handling equipment and a component of air handling equipment. Their job is to neutralize air particles, in order to improve air quality for any number of reasons. Such reasons include: allergy alleviation, EPA standards adherence, odor removal, and general air quality improvement. Many air filters also target air pollution, which can create innumerable health problems for humans, from asthma to kidney disease[3]. Examples of some of the particles they capture and remove from the air include: pollen, pet dander, dust, mold spores, dirt, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)[4], fumes, and gases.[5]

To meet these needs, manufacturers make air filters to capture particles of all densities and sizes, like ULPA filters and HEPA filters. You can find air filters in all types of machines, buildings and vehicles, from car exhaust pipes to hospital vent systems.

Air Compressors

As you might guess, air compressors compress air. They do so in order to harness energy enough to power pneumatic systems and tools. Examples of such systems and tools include: water purifier systems, gas cylinders, jackhammers, air tanks, and more.

To work, an air compressor retrieves air from the atmosphere, then simultaneously pressurizes it and decreases its volume. Effectively, this action changes mechanical energy into pneumatic energy. The tool or machine into which the air compressor is built then uses this pneumatic energy/pressurized air to power its action.[6]

Dust Collectors

Dust collectors collect dust and dust-like particles. People use them in order to: decrease allergens, control smells, reduce emissions, keep facilities in compliance with the regulations like those put out by the EPA or OSHA, and generally purify the air.

Dust collectors work using a combination of several air handling tools, typically including: dust filters, blowers, filter cleaners, and dust bins. Examples of common dust collector types include: baghouses (sonic, shaking, reverse air, pulse jet)[7], wet dust collectors, reverse air dust collectors, pulse jet dust collectors, downdraft tables, cartridge collectors, portable dust collectors, and cyclone dust collectors.
