What is a HVAC system ?

• HVAC is an acronym for Heating, Ventilation and Air


Conditioning.

• HVAC is a historical term that is commonly known today as


air conditioning.

• A HVAC system maintains and controls the conditions of


theSiemens
inside environment.

What are the main processes carried out by a


HVAC system ?

• Ventilation - the process of exchanging air between the


outdoors and the conditioned space.
• Air movement - the process of circulating and mixing air
through conditioned spaces.
• Cleaning - the process of removing particles and biological
contaminants in the air.
• Heating
Siemens sans- the process of adding thermal energy (heat) to the air
in the conditioned

• Cooling
siemens sans-italic

• Humidifying

• Dehumidifying - the process of removing water vapor

Refrigeration Process

• Refrigeration is the process of removing heat at a low


temperature level & rejecting it at a relatively higher
temperature level.

• Refrigerant is nothing but heat carrier i.e. heat carrying


medium.

Unitary AC Units. (Split systems. DX System)

•As the name implies, the air conditioner is


split into two parts, refrigeration and
ventilating parts.

•The refrigeration part consists of a


compressor and an air cooled condenser.

•The ventilating part consists of a fan and


an evaporator to cool or heat the air.

All - Water Systems. ( 2-pipe fan coil unit


system.)
• Two water pipes are led to each fan coil unit,
cold water is pumped in summer,
hot water in winter.

• Thus only cold water or hot water is available at the


fan coil units at any one time.
• It is not possible to cool a room and

Characteristics of VAV

• Air distribution equipment

• Mainly used in buildings where single AHU serves many


areas

• Optimizes power consumption while maintaining –


thermal comfort
Siemens sans
• Ideally suited for varying load patterns

• Full cooling / full heating take place about 20 % of the
siemens sans italic bold
time. Rest of the time systems operate at less than full
capacity.

• The VAV box adjusts the amount of air that enters the
