The Barkell Modular Air Handling Unit (AHU) range is designed as a series of pre-configured, high-performance solutions engineered to streamline project timelines and reduce quotation lead times. Proudly manufactured in Consett, UK, these units offer a versatile approach to HVAC design, featuring nine distinct sizes and airflows reaching up to 6.5m³/s. Each unit is constructed as a single-piece assembly to ensure durability, simplified installation, and long-term ease of maintenance. Energy efficiency is at the core of the Barkell design, utilizing heat exchangers with up to 90% efficiency and low Specific Fan Power (SFP) EC fans to minimize operational costs. The systems support flexible configurations, including water, electric, and DX heating and cooling options. Specifically, the DX models incorporate R32 refrigerant—a low Global Warming Potential (GWP 675) option—aligning with modern sustainability standards. Integrated control options, such as Variable Air Volume (VAV), constant temperature, and CO2 monitoring, allow the systems to be tailored to the specific functional requirements of any building.
