In hospitals and healthcare facilities, ensuring high Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a top priority. The quality of indoor air has a direct impact on the health and well-being of patients, medical staff, and visitors. Indoor environments can often contain higher concentrations of pollutants than outdoor air, due to infiltration, internal emission sources, and insufficient ventilation.
One of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality is through mechanical ventilation, which introduces fresh air while removing contaminated air. When properly designed and maintained, mechanical ventilation systems not only improve hygiene and comfort but also deliver significant energy savings through heat recovery technologies. These systems transfer heat and moisture from the exhaust air to the incoming fresh air, optimising overall energy efficiency.
In the most sensitive healthcare applications, such as operating theatres and intensive care units, precise control of temperature, humidity, and air purity is critical. These spaces require stable, carefully monitored conditions to prevent contamination and ensure the safety of both patients and staff. Daikin air handling units are engineered to meet these exacting standards, combining high performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability to support healthy and safe healthcare environments.
For this reason, on October 21–22, Daikin Applied UK participated in Healthcare Estates, held at Manchester Central, the UK’s premier event dedicated to healthcare engineering, building management, and facility solutions. The exhibition represents a key meeting point for professionals driving innovation across HVAC, sustainability, design, and infrastructure. At Stand D28, Daikin Applied UK showcased its HTM Pro air handling unit, specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of healthcare environments, where precise control over air quality and comfort conditions is essential.

Daikin has extensive experience in providing air handling units (AHUs) for healthcare applications, with notable references such as Grange University Hospital, where Daikin systems have helped improve indoor air quality and comfort. Discover how Daikin also addressed ventilation needs and challenges in the healthcare sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring safe and reliable environments.
Frequently Asked Questions on Daikin Air Handling Units
Where are Daikin AHUs manufactured?
Daikin is a leader in the air handling market. The company operates five AHU factories in the EMEA region, producing over 7,000 units in 2023. These factories are in Caleppio di Settala (Italy), Cramlington (Northumberland, UK), Istanbul (Turkey), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), and Dubai (UAE). Thanks to this distributed production network, we can ensure optimal delivery times and cost efficiency.
Visit the Daikin AHUs product page to explore our comprehensive range of solutions, designed to ensure optimal indoor air quality, comfort, and energy efficiency.
What types of air conditioning systems can Daikin's AHUs cover?
Daikin's AHUs can work in both direct expansion (DX) and hydronic systems. DX systems are ideal for applications that require precise control of temperature and humidity, while hydronic systems are particularly suitable for large buildings and structures that require uniform distribution of heating or cooling. Thanks to this flexibility, Daikin AHUs can ensure optimal comfort and superior energy efficiency in any context.
Discover Daikin’s range of air handling units (AHUs), designed for installation in both hydronic and DX (direct expansion) systems.
