ALL ABOUT HVAC

HEATING VENTILATION AND AIR

CONDTIONING

WHAT IS HVAC?
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

HVAC is a basic requirement for your indoor air

quality, what you breathe, temperature, humidity in
your house.

So when you hear the term "HVAC" it means the

entire air system of your place.

NEED OF HVAC SYSTEM

Improvement of the air quality

Moisture regulation
Balancing environment
Maintenance of the constant temperature throughout
the year
Energy conservation

HVAC COMPONENTS

Furnace
Heat exchanger
Evaporator Coil
Ducts
Vents
Condensing Unit
Refrigerant Lines
Thermostat

HEATING
CONVECTION - Collective movement of groups
of molecules within fluids , through diffusion
CONDUCTION
Transfer
of internal
energy by
microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles within a body
due to a temperature gradient.
RADIATION - Electromagnetic waves (EMR) travel through
a vacuum or through matter-containing media.

DISTRIBUTION OF HEAT

WATER / STEAM Piping is used to transport the heat to the rooms.

Modern hot water boiler heating systems have a
circulator, which is a pump, to move hot water through
the distribution system .
AIR Warm air systems distribute heated air through duct
work systems of supply and return air through metal or
fiberglass ducts.
Many systems use the same ducts to distribute air
cooled by an evaporator coil for air conditioning.

VENTILATION
MECHANICAL OR FORCED Provided by an air
handler and used to control indoor air
quality.
Excess humidity, odours, and contaminants can often be
controlled via dilution or replacement with outside air.
Kitchens and bathrooms
NATURAL ventilation of a building with outside air without using fans
or other mechanical systems.
-reduces spread of diseases- tuberculosis, common cold.

VENTILATION EFFECTIVENESS
Effective mixing of ventilation air within space
Net positive pressure in the southeast; exhaust from
appropriate spaces
Provide clean outdoor air, avoid:

loading docks
exhaust vents
plumbing stacks
waste collection
stagnant water

AIR CONDITIONING
An air conditioner is like a refrigerator without
the insulated box. It evaporates a refrigerant,
like Freon, to provide cooling.
Most Air Conditioners Have:
A compressor
An expansion valve
A hot coil (on the outside)
A chilled coil (on the inside)
Two fans
A control unit

BASIC REFRIGERATION CYCLE

BENEFITS OF HVAC

1. Increases Comfort
2. Conserves Energy
3. Regulates Moisture
4. Air Quality Improvement.

APPLICATIONS OF HVAC
Free cooling during moderate temperatures (chiller
bypass).
Thermal storageisolation of storage tank
Water source heat pump pre cooler with isolation
Heating potable hot water (instantaneous heater)
Waste heat recovery from condenser water
