Hygienic Air Handlers, Critical Process HVAC for Food Processing Facilities
What is a Hygienic Air Handler?
Hygienic air handlers are customized industrial refrigeration air handling systems that supply clean, filtered and conditioned air to food processing rooms and critical process areas. The supplied air is managed by the air handler to control strict room climate conditions, with the ultimate goal of creating an environment promoting higher levels of sanitation while hindering bacteria growth and spread.
Hygienic air handlers control the air delivered to processing, packaging and storage areas to improve sanitary conditions and reduce contamination sources by:
Filtering Fresh Outdoor Air
Remove particulate from outdoor air supply.
Refrigeration/Cooling
Maintain refrigeration setpoints to hinder bacteria growth.
Humidity Control
Prevent condensation inside processing rooms to eliminate opportunities for bacteria to spread.
Sterilization
UVC light systems kill bacteria, virus and other contaminants on cooling coils.
More Filtration
Stop contaminants from entering ductwork and processing room airstream.
Creating Positive Pressure
Prevents infiltration of airborne contaminants from entering pressurized spaces from other spaces such as neighboring rooms or hallways.
Increasing Ventilation
Increased clean air supply protects workers from airborne contaminants.
Dedicated Clean-Up Cycle
Clean-up operation mode provides heated 100% make-up air and room air exhaust to quickly dry freshly washed & sanitized processing areas. Weather-Rite hygienic air handlers also offer specially programmed operating sequences
to greatly accelerate the drying of wet walls and ceilings during processing room wash down shifts.
