AHU & Chilled Water System
AHU & Chilled Water System Philippines for Cleanrooms and Factories
Principle of Operation
What an AHU & Chilled WaterSystem Works.
A chilled water system separates the production of cold from the handling of air.
The chiller, installed outdoors or in a plant room, rejects the heat picked up by a closed water circuit and returns supply water at roughly 5 to 15°C. Pumps carry it through the building to every air handling unit on the circuit. A single plant can therefore condition an entire facility, rather than a separate machine on each room.
The air handling unit does the rest. Room air and outdoor air are drawn across the chilled water coil, where the air gives up both heat and moisture and leaves cooled and dehumidified. Filtration follows in stages, standard particulate through to hospital grade HEPA. A modulating valve trims the water flow through the coil so that each zone holds its own temperature setpoint.

About NuPON
We Handle Everything on thePhilippine Side.
Our units come from a manufacturing partner that has built industrial air conditioners and chillers since 2003, inside a group whose history runs back to 1972. The plant covers 150,000 m², holds 123 patents, and carries CE, UL, CCC, CNAS and ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification. Every unit is built to order against the selection sheet we issue, so panel thickness, coil rows and filter train are settled before fabrication starts.
On this side the work is ours: survey, selection, installation, chilled water piping, balancing and the certified readings at handover. That scope sits under one purchase order and one point of accountability. We keep branches in Laguna, Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Subic, Clark, Cebu and Baguio, and the branch that surveys your site is the one that answers the service call after handover.
What We Do
Everything Between theSurvey and the Sign-Off.
Survey and Load Calculation.
We come to site and measure room volume, process heat, fresh air need, and cleanliness class. These are the same seven inputs the quote form asks for, so nothing gets guessed twice.
Design and Selection.
Chiller capacity, chilled water temperature, coil rows, filter stages, and BMS points get chosen together. You receive a selection sheet with a budget before anyone orders steel.
Supply.
Units are built to order at a factory holding CE, UL and ISO 9001 certification. The selection sheet carries the build time for your configuration.
Installation and Piping.
Our crew sets the chiller, the AHU, the water loop, the ducts, and the controls. Every unit keeps at least a meter of service clearance, because someone has to change those filters later.
Testing and Validation.
Our own validation team records airflow, particle count, HEPA integrity, and room pressure, then certifies the readings. It is the same team that certifies cleanrooms for us nationwide.
The First Decision
Chilled Water or Direct Expansion?
Chilled Water AHU
One chiller feeds many AHUs. Part-load efficiency is strong, control is central, and you add a room by adding a unit. There is more to install, because the plant needs a water loop.
DX AHU
Refrigerant expands inside the coil and the unit pairs with an outdoor condensing unit. No water piping and fewer components. It suits standalone rooms and sites with no chiller plant.
| Chilled Water AHU | DX Coil AHU | |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling medium | Chilled water, separate chiller | Refrigerant in the coil |
| Best fit | Large buildings, part-load efficiency | Small spaces, simpler demands |
| Piping | Chilled water loop | No water line, outdoor condensing unit |
| Management | Central control, modular expansion | Standalone, fewer components |

Representative section through a modular AHU, in the supplier’s own section order. Heating and humidification sections are added where the room needs them. Open a row to isolate that stage.
Casing
Double skin panels, ivory white color steel outside and galvanized steel inside. The high pressure polyurethane foam core comes in 25, 35 or 50 mm, and the thickness sets the capacity band. Casing leakage holds under 1.5%, against 3 to 5% on standard units.
| 25 mm panel | less than 40,000 m³/h · less than 1,000 Pa |
|---|---|
| 35 mm panel | less than 80,000 m³/h · 1,000 to 1,400 Pa |
| 50 mm panel | more than 40,000 m³/h · less than 2,000 Pa |
Filtration
Filter stages run standard particulate through to hospital grade HEPA. Plate pre-filter, bag medium filter, pleated sub-HEPA and HEPA, and activated carbon are available. Inlet air velocity uniformity stays above 80%.
Coils and Drain
Copper tube with corrugated aluminum fins at 9 to 13 fins per inch. Water carryover stays under 0.4 g/kg of dry air. Stainless steel drain pan and end plates on request for wash-down rooms.
Air Handling Sections
Fresh air mixing sized to your duct layout. Split blade dampers come with manual linkage standard and electric optional, and air valves are designed at 8 m/s.
Heat Recovery and Controls
Plate or rotary exchangers recover 70 to 80% of exhaust energy and cut cooling and heating loads 25 to 40%. Smart control and BMS integration improve part-load efficiency by 15 to 25%, meaning performance below full capacity. Specific fan power meets Eurovent Class A at 1.6 kW/m³/s or lower.

Common Questions
What Buyers AskBefore They Order.
Not answered here?
What is the difference between a chilled water AHU and a DX AHU?
A chilled water AHU cools air with water fed by a separate chiller. It holds part-load efficiency well and suits large buildings. A DX AHU evaporates refrigerant directly, needs no water loop, and pairs with an outdoor condensing unit. DX is compact and easier to install, so it fits small rooms and sites with no chiller plant.
Should I choose an air cooled or water cooled chiller?
Air cooled needs no cooling tower, so it suits outdoor placement and sites where water is short. Water cooled units reach higher efficiency on large loads when a cooling tower is already there. The water cooled screw range runs about 230 to 4,600 kW.
Scroll or screw compressor: which one do I need?
Scroll covers 3 to 200 HP air cooled and 3 to 50 HP water cooled, with good efficiency at part load. The water cooled screw range runs about 230 to 4,600 kW on a twin screw compressor with multi-level energy regulation. Pick screw for large continuous loads such as factories and data centers.
Can a chilled water AHU support an ISO 7 or ISO 8 cleanroom?
Yes. Filter stages run standard particulate through to hospital grade HEPA, and casing leakage stays under 1.5% against 3 to 5% on standard units. Terminal HEPA filters or fan filter units at the ceiling finish the room, and we test particle count at handover.
How much energy does a chilled water AHU actually save?
Our manufacturing partner rates EC and DC fans at 30 to 50% fan energy savings against conventional AC fans. Optional heat recovery captures 70 to 80% of exhaust energy and cuts cooling and heating loads 25 to 40%. Your real number depends on runtime, fresh air ratio, and setpoints.
How long does an AHU or industrial chiller take to build?
Build time depends on the configuration. A standard unit is quicker than a stainless interior or a special filter train. We confirm the date on the selection sheet before you release the order, and installation time depends on site readiness, piping runs, and power availability, which we check during the survey.
Do you install and validate the system, or only supply it?
We do both, so you are not dealing with an air handling unit supplier in the Philippines on one side and a contractor on the other. We handle survey, selection, installation, chilled water piping, ducting, and balancing. At handover we certify airflow, particle count, HEPA integrity, and room pressure, the same validation service we run on cleanrooms nationwide.
Do you provide after-sales service in the Philippines?
Yes. Our eight branches cover maintenance, filter replacement, coil cleaning, and repair. Major faults are escalated to the factory through us, so you deal with one party throughout.
What information do you need to prepare a quote?
Floor plan, room size, process heat load, target temperature and humidity, cleanliness class, fresh air need, and available power and water. With those seven, our engineers return a chiller and AHU selection with capacity, water temperature, filter stages, and a budget.
How often should coils and filters be serviced?
It depends on dust load, runtime, and the filter stage. Our branches schedule filter replacement and coil cleaning under after-sales service. Ask your nearest branch for the schedule that matches your filter train.
