HVAC refers to the mechanical system of the building that provides Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) within the building. This includes HVAC high side equipment’s such as Chillers/ Air-Conditioners, pumps and piping network and low side equipment such as Air Handling Unit (AHUs), Ducting, Duct Insulation, Filter Modules, Filters, Grills, Diffusers, Dampers and AHU manifolds.
Now, you must be thinking about “What is HVAC?” An HVAC system is designed to control the environment in which it functions. HVAC system does this by controlling the air cleanliness of the air in that environment. HVAC full form is Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. These systems are becoming popular in new construction as these HVAC systems uses fresh air from outdoors to provide high quality fresh air indoors.
Ventilation in this process helps in replacing the air within the space and ensures a better quality of air indoors. The HVAC system helps in providing good quality air by removing all the moisture, heat, dust, bacteria (airborne), CO2, among some other gases. Now that we are aware of what is HVAC, let’s understand how HVAC systems work.
