This article is an attempt to estimate concentration of bacteria and fungi in characteristic places in two air handling units. The research was conducted with the units equipped with heat recovery exchanger and recirculation of exhaust air. Additionally, microbiological analysis was done for indoor and fresh air. We performed measurements regarding supply and exhaust air volume. This means that the air velocity inside ventilator chamber was known. The mean concentration of bacteria and fungi was specified for air filters on the supply and exhaust side. The efficiency of air filters was verified by the concertation of bacteria and fungi in fan chamber. This article confirms that bacteria content in supply air is always lower than in exhaust air despite air recirculation. In this work we proved that the position of Petrie plate is essential for bacteria and fungi measurement.
