Air Handler Expert

Air handlers work much like furnaces in that they efficiently move air throughout the home. The main difference is that the air handlers only circulate heat when paired with a heat pump or a Boiler Hi-Velocity system.

How Hydronic Air Handlers Work

Hydronic air handler with the circulator, boiler, supply and return pipes, blower and ducts

A hydronic air handler combines a hot-water heating coil with the blower and ductwork of a forced-air system. Heating the airstream across the coil helps deliver warm air steadily throughout the house. A compatible boiler or water heater supplies the hot water.

When the home or zone thermostat calls for heat, the system activates a circulator. Hot water travels through the supply pipe into copper tubing inside the coil. The tubing and surrounding fins transfer heat to the air, while the blower draws room air back through the return duct and filter and pushes it across the coil.

The supply ducts distribute the warmed air to the rooms. After giving up some of its heat, the water leaves the coil through the return pipe and goes back to the heat source to be reheated. The air and water follow separate paths throughout the cycle.

The same blower and ducts can also deliver cooling when the system is fitted with a compatible cooling coil. In a refrigerant-based setup, the indoor coil absorbs heat from the returning room air and transfers it to the refrigerant. Systems designed for chilled water can use a separate chilled-water coil instead. The blower then sends the cooled air back through the ducts.
