air treatment equipment


Explanation:
An air handling equipment means that it operates by means of air.
An air treatment equipment is one that modifies the characteristics of air (filtering, drying, to produce sterile air or breathing air). So there is a difference.
Ref. Pneumatic Handbook - Ultrafilter International - Section 4 - Compressed air transmission and treatment.
