In the 2026 healthcare and high-precision manufacturing sectors, Washable Internal AHU Components are a foundational requirement for "Total Hygiene" compliance. Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024 and MOH (Ministry of Health) Malaysia clinical standards, an AHU must not only filter air but also be capable of being physically sanitized to prevent the buildup of bio-films and organic matter.
At EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD, we engineer units where every internal surface and component is designed for deep cleaning and aggressive sterilization.
A truly washable AHU must eliminate "dead zones" and "crevices" where water can pool or bacteria can hide.
SUS 304/316 Stainless Steel Internals: Unlike painted galvanized steel, which can flake or rust when washed, our stainless steel skins are non-porous and chemically inert. They can withstand high-pressure washing and harsh disinfectants without surface degradation.
Radiused Internal Corners (Coving): We eliminate 90-degree internal angles. By using radiused corners, we ensure that cleaning cloths and sprays reach every millimeter of the interior, preventing the microbial growth that typically occurs in sharp joints.
Flush-Mounted Components: Sensors, light fixtures, and viewing ports are mounted flush with the internal skin to ensure there are no protruding lips that trap dust or resist washing.
The most critical areas for washing are the wet sections where moisture is constant.
Slide-Out Coil Banks: To comply with HTM 03-01 maintenance standards, our coils are mounted on slide-out stainless steel tracks. This allows your technical team to pull the entire coil bank out of the unit for a thorough 360-degree pressure wash without breaking duct seals.
Heresite/Blygold Coatings: We apply specialized antimicrobial coatings to the fins. These coatings make the surface hydrophobic, allowing dirt and bio-films to be washed away easily with standard water pressure while protecting the metal from chemical corrosion.
Hose-Down EC Fan Arrays: Our IE5 EC Fan Walls are IP-rated. Unlike housed centrifugal fans, these "Plug Fans" are open and accessible, allowing for a complete wipe-down of the motor and impeller.
Cleanability directly impacts your Building Energy Intensity (BEI) and statutory 2026 audits.
Restoring Heat Transfer: Even a 0.5mm layer of bio-film on a coil acts as an insulator, forcing the chiller to use more energy. Regular washing, supported by our UV-C Germicidal modules, keeps the coil "surgically clean," maintaining peak efficiency.
Low Specific Fan Power (SFP): Dirty fans and coils increase air resistance. By ensuring components are washable, we help you maintain an SFP below the legal 1.1 limit.
TB2 Thermal Break: Our washable units utilize TB2 Thermal Break Casing to ensure zero external "sweating" during or after the wash cycle, a critical requirement for Malaysia's humidity.
A washable unit is only as good as its ability to evacuate the wash water.
Anti-Microbial P-Traps: We utilize clear, medical-grade P-traps with integrated air gaps to prevent the back-siphoning of foul air during the cleaning process.
External Service Access: All electrical components and Energy Management System (EnMS) controllers are housed in external, IP-rated cabinets, ensuring they remain dry and protected while the internal chamber is being hosed down.
Technical Integrity: We provide the Validation Documentation (IQ/OQ) and material certifications required for clinical and pharmaceutical accreditation.
3D BIM Coordination: We model the "Withdrawal Zones" to ensure your maintenance team has the physical space required to slide out and wash components in high-rise plant rooms.
BOMBA-Compliant Safety: All internal gaskets, seals, and non-shedding insulation are fire-rated (Class 0 or B1).
