Compact cabinet-style medical air handling unit for operating rooms, cleanrooms and ICUs — plug-and-play installation with no dedicated AHU room required.
EC plug fans, dual-stage filtration (G4 + F8), integrated UV-C sterilization, cooling, heating and humidification in a double-layer aluminum cabinet with thermal-break insulation.
Product range
BIOAIRO® Cabinet Air Handling Units
Three models cover 3000 to 10000 m³/h supply airflow, paired with a matched outdoor condensing unit. Each integrates cooling, heating, humidification, dual-stage filtration and UV-C sterilization in a single cabinet footprint of ≤ 50% of a conventional AHU.

A complete air-handling plant in one cabinet
The cabinet combines an aluminum post-and-frame double-skin enclosure, 50 mm polyurethane insulation and an EBM® EC brushless fan array with direct-drive backward-curved impellers. Inside are a copper direct-expansion coil with epoxy-coated aluminum fins, an electrode-type humidifier, G4 + F8 dual-stage filtration, a 304 stainless-steel condensate drain pan, PTC electric heater and UV-C sterilizer. A Siemens PLC with BMS integration runs the unit and reports CO₂, PM2.5, VOC and differential pressure in real time.

Application environment
Built for operating rooms, cleanrooms and ICUs
The BIOAIRO cabinet AHU is sized for the spaces where air quality directly affects outcomes: operating rooms, procedure rooms, isolation rooms, ICUs and pharmaceutical cleanrooms. The unit supplies filtered, conditioned air to ceiling-mounted laminar modules or room diffusers, maintaining the temperature, humidity and particle counts required by ISO 14644-1 and clinical ventilation guidelines.
System design
Cabinet AHU + laminar ceiling module in one room package
The unit sits in the corridor or plant space next to the operating room, avoiding the need for a dedicated AHU equipment room. Conditioned supply air is ducted to the ceiling-mounted laminar module, which distributes a unidirectional downflow over the surgical table. Return air paths, cooling/heating media and control wiring are coordinated with the modular room envelope.
Network integration
Connect multiple ORs to the building management system
Each operating-room control panel communicates with its cabinet AHU, and the complete fleet is brought back to the BMS through a standard network. Facilities teams can monitor temperature, humidity, pressure, airflow and alarms centrally, while each room retains local control for surgical staff.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The cabinet AHU is a single cabinet that integrates fan, coil, filter, humidifier, UV sterilization and controls, with a footprint ≤ 50% of a conventional AHU. It installs in the corridor or plant space without a dedicated equipment room, runs at lower noise and is ready for plug-and-play connection rather than on-site assembly.
G4 (pre-filter) + F8 (fine filter) as standard, achieving ≥ 99.95% particle filtration. For cleanrooms above ISO Class 7, upgrade the fine-filter stage to H13 or H14 HEPA.
The brochure claims compliance with ISO 14644-1 (cleanroom classification), GB/T 19569-2004 and EN 1886 (mechanical performance), plus CE, RoHS and ISO 9001 certification. Independent verification against your project's local requirements is recommended before specification.
