How The 100-Ton Air Handler Works

Air handlers work with your heating and cooling units to efficiently deliver air throughout warehouses, shops and other facilities. They’re typically used within ducted forced air systems, striving to manage the air temperature before being pushed through your ventilation ducts. These electric systems have three main components: an air filter, a blower and evaporator coils. 

Air enters the handler and moves through a filter where dirt and debris are removed. It then passes over the evaporator coils, which absorb excess heat to cool the air to the desired temperature on the thermostat. Once conditioned, the blower circulates the air out of the handler and into the ducts, moving throughout the various areas in your facility.
