Air treatment is an important component of a healthy and comfortable indoor climate. With an air treatment cabinet, often abbreviated as LBK, air is filtered, heated, cooled, ventilated, and if necessary humidified or dehumidified.
Van Abeelen Klimaattechniek supplies and installs air treatment cabinets for companies, production environments, utilities and specific spaces where air quality and temperature control are taken seriously. Examples include offices, production halls, cleanrooms, laboratories, swimming pools and spaces in the food industry.
What does an air handling unit do?
An air handling unit provides controlled supply and treatment of air. Depending on the application, an LBK can supply fresh outdoor air, filter it, recover heat, cool, heat or regulate humidity.
Thus, air treatment contributes to comfort, health, and operational reliability. In production environments, air quality can also have an impact on product quality, hygiene, and process stability.
Customized air treatment
No building and no process is the same. Therefore, we first look at the space and its use. How much air ventilation is needed? What temperature should be achieved? Are there requirements for filtration, humidity, hygiene, or heat recovery? And how does the LBK fit into the rest of the installation?
Van Abeelen adapts the air handling unit to the application. In doing so, we consider capacity, energy consumption, noise, maintenance, controllability, and practical placement.
LBK’s for comfort and process
An air handling unit can be used for comfort installations, but also for process-oriented air treatment. In offices, it often comes down to fresh air and a pleasant temperature. In production halls or cleanrooms, hygiene, filtration and precise conditions may be more important.

Connection with cooling, heating and control
An LBK often works together with other installations, such as cold water machines, heat pumps, boilers, heat exchangers and building management systems. The correct connection determines how stable and energy-efficient the system runs.
Van Abeelen can make air handling part of a complete climate installation. This means that not only the cabinet is chosen, but also the control system, connections, hydraulics and serviceability are taken into account.
Maintenance of air handling units
An air handling unit requires regular maintenance. Dirty filters and batteries or malfunctioning valves lead to increased resistance, higher energy consumption and reduced comfort. Hygiene is also an important consideration. Dirt, dust and moisture in the system can affect the air quality and the hygienic performance of the system.
Van Abeelen supports inspections, filter replacements, cleaning, hygiene checks, control of the control technology, and servicing of the entire climate system. This ensures that the air quality, energy efficiency, and reliable operation of the system remain at the required level.
