Construction

Every custom Buffalo Air Handling unit is designed to perform - and endure - with quality details.  It's what we do.   Leakage rates can be specified to as low as 1/2% with an endless range of capabilities, pressures, and configurations to choose from.

All unit bases are made with welded structural components.  Choices of Steel, Aluminum, or Galvanized beams.   The base floors can be painted steel, stainless steel, or aluminum tread plate.

Flooring in the coil sections can be IAQ triple-sloped to ensure complete condensate removal.

Our standard Aluminum 3" foam panels  and thermal break construction offer: 

• R value of 6.8/inch.  
• Limits corrosion
• Lighter weight than galvanized or stainless steel
• Available in stucco or smooth finishes

Fans come in different configurations to maximize efficiency and performance.  

• Direct Drive fans with fewer moving parts and no belts to replace or tension, mean less required maintenance and reduced downtime. This can significantly lower maintenance costs over time. 
• Multiple direct-drive plenum fan arrays for "N+1" capability.
•  ECM fans in offer significant advantages, mainly due to their energy efficiency and variable speed control. 

Steam, Water, Evaporative, Re-Heat coils are available and all can be customized to ensure the proper cooling for your application. 

Support racks in stainless, galvanized, or painted steel facilitate independent coil removal allowing for maintenance without disturbing adjacent coils. For units installed in space-constrained environments, split-fit coils simplify the removal and replacement process, enhancing serviceability. 

 Dampers are a crucial component within air handling units (AHUs) in HVAC systems, acting as valves to control and regulate the flow of air through the ductwork. They play a significant role in optimizing AHU performance.

Sound Attenuators significantly reduce noise generated by the HVAC system, creating a quieter indoor environment. This leads to improved acoustic comfort, enhanced speech intelligibility, and compliance with noise regulations. 

Lighting available in Marine, , LED options, as well as switches and receptacles.

Starters, disconnects, VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives), and/or customer-supplied controls can be factory-mounted to ensure unit integrity and streamline installation times. 

 UV lights in air handling units (AHUs) enhance indoor air quality by neutralizing airborne pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. They also help reduce allergens and improve HVAC system efficiency by preventing microbial buildup on coils, leading to better airflow and potentially lower energy costs.
