• The VAV reheat and dual duct system provide all the
flexibilities of the conventional reheat and dual duct systems in
the sense that a zone can be accommodated as it switches from
heating to cooling requirements and that some zones on a system
can be provided with heating at the same that the other zones
need cooling. There is some thermal bucking in both the VAV
reheat and dual-duct systems but the magnitude of heating and
cooling energy cancellation is modest because the low air flow
rates at which the thermal bucking occurs.
• Advantage:
– Reduced need for building space to the elimination or reduction of
central fan room and duct space requirements
– The system provides all of the benefits of a central water chilling and
heating plant, while retaining the ability to positively shut off local
terminals in unused areas
• Disadvantage :
– Requires much more maintenance than central all-air system and work
must be done in the occupied areas
– Each unit requires a condensate pan and drain system that must be
cleaned and flushed periodically.
– It is difficult to clean coils, should this be required.
– Filters are low in efficiency, small, and requires frequent changing
