AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

(1) VARIABLE AIR VOLUME

(2) VARIABLE REFRIGERANT VOLUME.

VARIABLE AIR VOLUME (VAV)

 It is a type of heating, ventilating, and/or air-conditioning (HVAC) system.

 The simplest VAV system incorporates one supply duct that, when in cooling mode,
distributes approximately 55 °f (13 °c) supply air.
 Because the supply air temperature, in this simplest of VAV systems, is constant, the air
flow rate must vary to meet the rising and falling heat gains or losses within the thermal
zone served.
 A VAV terminal unit, often called a VAV box, is the zone-level flow control device. It is
basically a quality, calibrated air damper with an automatic actuator.

FEATURES OF VAV SYSTEM

1. Sophisticated solution
2. Insensitive to duct pressure
3. Factory calibration possible
4. No site calibration required (self balancing system)
 5. Duct design less critical
6. Modulating controls
7. Accurate pressure and air volume control
BENEFITS OF VAV SYSTEM
 Localize control & data backup
 Reduction in cabling
 Easy maintenance, fault traceability
 System to work as Standalone / Networkable
 There by free from central system for local operation
 This is single duct system that can easily having many zones.
 A variable air volume control box is located when duct system enters into separate
zone.
 A thermostat controls the air volume in the each zone flow by operating damper in the
VAV control box.
 More cooling is required, more cool air is allowed to enters in the zone.

VARIABLE REFRIGERANT VOLUME SYSTEMS (VRV)

 The system offers large outdoor capacities, greater energy savings, easier installation,
longer actual and total piping, and more.
 Individual control Conventional systems air-condition a building as a whole, whereas the
VRV system air conditions each room individually.
 Hence it is ideal for the constantly changing occupancy of a typical building.
 Even further, precise level control is possible that reacts to the exact conditions in each
room.
 Individual control promotes a far more economical and efficient system.
SAVES ENERGY
 Using the VRV for ventilation dramatically boosts energy efficiency.
CONSERVES SPACE
 Space efficiency is enhanced by the compact size of the individual units, the long
maximum piping length, and the ability to realize a large-scale air conditioning system
with a single piping circuit.
OFFERS A WIDE SELECTION OF MODELS
 Lineup of heat pump types are 5 to 54 HP, and both in 2 HP increments*.
 Indoor units consist of 14 types with a total of 79 models.
 This wide selection of models makes it possible to build a system that perfectly suits the
customer’s requirements * Except for 5 HP (HEAT PUMP SYSTEM)

NFIGURING OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT.
 A method and system of managing a configuration of mechanical equipment provides a
structured procedure.
 It helps to manage various parameters of the mechanical equipment to facilitate the
Maintenance of safety.
 Legal compliance, Performance, and Reliability of the mechanical equipment.
 An actual configuration of the mechanical equipment is determined based on an
evaluation of the mechanical equipment.
 Upgrade requirements are planned for upgrading the actual configuration to the desired
configuration if the actual configuration is noncompliant with the desired configuration.
SIZING OF EQUIPMENT:
 Correct sizing of mechanical equipment is important for several reasons. Extra money
need not be paid up front for an oversized system. This is the typical process for the
construction of new buildings.
 Mechanical equipment that is larger than needed results in inefficiencies of the system.
 Oversized furnaces and air conditioners cycle on and off more often than if they were
correctly sized.
 They blast on and meet the required heating or cooling loads quickly, turning off before
maximum efficiency is reached. This is called ‘short-cycling’.
 Further, this also results in a shorter service life for the equipment, and can also result
in thermostat and humidity problems.
