In the high-demand environments of KL and Selangor, such as commercial kitchens, laboratories, and industrial plants, a Make-Up Air Unit (MAU) is the lungs of the facility. It is responsible for replacing the massive volumes of air pulled out by exhaust hoods and process fans. EKG M&E Sdn Bhd provides specialized MAU Servicing to ensure your building maintains its "Positive Pressure" shield, protecting against dust, humidity, and energy waste.
We move beyond basic cleaning to provide a full technical audit of the MAU’s mechanical and electrical components.
Because an MAU pulls 100% outdoor air, the filters in the Klang Valley load quickly with soot and haze.
Filter Replacement: We supply and install MERV 13 to HEPA filters to ensure the air being "made up" is cleaner than the air outside.
Casing and Seal Inspection: We check for "Air Bypass" around filter frames. Even a small gap can let humid, unfiltered air into your clean zones.
Motor and Bearing Lubrication: We inspect for vibration and noise, ensuring the Axial Flow or Centrifugal fan is balanced.
Belt Tensioning: For belt-driven units, we calibrate the tension to prevent slipping, which causes a drop in the Air Change Rate (ACR) and wastes electricity.
Damper Actuator Testing: We test the motorized intake dampers to ensure they close tightly when the system is off, preventing "Back-Drafting" of rain or pests.
If your MAU includes a cooling coil (common in PAHU configurations), it must be kept pristine.
Chemical Coil Treatment: We remove biofilm and oxidation from the cooling coils to maintain maximum heat transfer, ensuring the incoming air is properly de-humidified.
Condensate Tray Disinfection: We clear blockages and treat trays to prevent "Dirty Sock Syndrome" and water leaks into the ceiling void.
As an HVAC and Clean Air Specialist, we ensure the MAU works in perfect harmony with the rest of your building's M&E infrastructure.
VFD Recalibration:
We tune the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to match the current exhaust load. If your kitchen or factory has changed its exhaust fans, we recalibrate the MAU speed to maintain the correct Building Pressure Management.
Airflow Balancing and Commissioning:
We perform a Duct Traverse and Flow Hood test at the discharge grilles. We provide a technical report proving the MAU is delivering the exact Cubic Meters per Hour (CMH) required for compliance.
Interlock Testing:
We verify that the MAU correctly triggers when the Commercial Exhaust Fan is turned on. A failure in this interlock is the leading cause of "Whistling Doors" in KL restaurants and malls.
