Custom AHU Design

Custom AHU Design & Engineering by EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD

In the specialized industrial and high-end commercial sectors of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, standard air handlers often fall short of meeting unique spatial constraints or specific atmospheric requirements. EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD specializes in Custom AHU Design, providing bespoke engineering solutions that adapt to your building's architecture rather than forcing the architecture to adapt to the equipment.

As a specialized installation contractor, we ensure every custom design adheres to MS 1525 energy standards and remains fully compliant with the EECA 2024 regulatory framework.

The Engineering of Bespoke Air Handling

Custom design allows for the optimization of every internal and external component, ensuring a "clash-free" fit and superior performance in non-standard environments.

1. Tailored Form Factors & Materiality

• Irregular Footprints: We design L-shaped, ultra-slim, or vertically stacked units to fit into restricted mechanical rooms or narrow ceiling voids. This maximizes leasable floor area while ensuring the unit remains serviceable.

• Specialized Casings: For coastal locations or chemical processing plants in Malaysia, we specify 316-grade stainless steel casings or specialized anti-corrosion coatings (such as Blygold) to prevent premature coil and cabinet degradation.

2. Component-Level Customization

• Advanced Filtration Arrays: Beyond standard dust filters, our custom designs can incorporate HEPA filters for cleanrooms, carbon filters for odor control in kitchens/laboratories, and UVGI (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation) for medical-grade sterilization.

• High-Static Fan Selection: We engineer custom fan-motor combinations to overcome high external static pressure (ESP) caused by complex ducting or specialized diffusers, ensuring the design airflow is always achieved.

Strategic Operational & Performance Benefits

EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD ensures that a custom-engineered AHU provides a higher return on investment through precision efficiency:

• Total 3D BIM Coordination:

  Every custom AHU is modeled in 3D during the design phase. This ensures all pipe inlets, electrical panels, and access doors are perfectly aligned with existing building services, eliminating on-site "clashes" with structural beams or fire protection systems.

• TNB Energy Optimization (VFD Calibration):

  Custom units are equipped with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) as standard. By matching the motor's power curve exactly to your building's specific pressure and cooling load, we help lower monthly TNB electricity bills and meet modern sustainability mandates.

• Acoustic Tuning:

  We can customize the internal insulation density and incorporate integrated sound attenuators to meet strict Noise Criterion (NC) ratings for boardrooms, luxury retail flagship stores, and recording studios.
