An air handler, or air handling unit (AHU), is a device used in HVAC systems to regulate and circulate air. "Static" in this context typically refers to static pressure, which is the resistance to airflow within the ductwork and the air handling unit itself. Maintaining proper static pressure is essential for efficient airflow, ensuring that air is effectively distributed throughout a building while preventing issues like noise, reduced efficiency, and system strain.

Can you match a 3.5 ton air handler by Gibson 13 seer with a 4 ton 13 seer Rheem air handler?

You can't match an air handler to an air handler. I assume you meant a 3.5 Ton A/H to a 4 Ton condenser. The answer is no. If the A/H was 4 Ton & you had a 3.5 Ton condenser you could with an expansion valve setup. You should really match equipment when possible & I highly recommend using a qualified technician.


What is objective of air handling unit?

An air handler, or air handling unit (often abbreviated to AHU), is a device used to condition and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Usually, an air handler is a large metal box containing a blower, heating and/or cooling elements, filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators, and dampers. Air handlers usually connect to duct work that distributes the conditioned air through the building, and returns it to the AHU. Sometimes AHUs discharge (supply) and admit (return) air directly to and from the space served, without ductwork.Small air handlers, for local use, are called terminal units, and may only include an air filter, coil, and blower; these simple terminal units are called blower coils or fan coil unit. A larger air handler that conditions 100% outside air, and no recirculated air, is known as a makeup air unit(MAU). An air handler designed for outdoor use, typically on roofs, is known as a packaged unit (PU) or rooftop unit (RTU)


What does a heat exchanger fan do?

Dissipates the heat produced by the heat exchanger through convection and creates static and velocity pressure to distribute the hot air throughout the duct system.

What is the purpose of the air handler breaker in a HVAC system and how does it function to ensure the proper operation of the air handler unit?

The purpose of the air handler breaker in an HVAC system is to protect the air handler unit from electrical overloads. It functions by interrupting the flow of electricity to the air handler unit when there is a surge in electrical current, preventing damage to the unit and ensuring its proper operation.
