HVAC

HVAC

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC

refers to the different systems used for moving air between indoor and
outdoor areas, along with heating and cooling both residential and
commercial buildings.

The system designed to cool the air is the AC unit, and the system
designed to heat the air and push moisture out through the vents, is the
HVAC unit.
4 Types of HVAC system

HVAC systems are divided into four categories which come in different
sizes and specifications that fit into your home or business.
 Heating and cooling split systems. ...
 Hybrid split system. ...
 Duct free (Mini-split) ...
 Packaged heating and air conditioning system.
1. HEATING AND COOLING SPLIT
SYSTEMS

 Heating and cooling split systems are known to be the most common types
of HVAC systems.
 As the name suggests it is split into two separate units, one serves the
purpose of heating and the other one is for cooling.
 It is to be noted that these systems come with indoor and outdoor units that
can be easily identified.
 Such HVAC products are equipped with a cooling system outside which
uses compressors, refrigerants and coils in order to cool air and a fan to
keep away the hot air. These are basically the AC units that are kept
outside the home and run during the summer season.
 On the other hand, the heater in the heating and cooling split system is
placed in a basement and other storage space which uses gas to warm up
the house. A traditional thermostat is used in this process to control the
temperature to keep it within the comfort level.
2. HYBRID SPLIT SYSTEM

 The hybrid system of HVACs carries similar features to the split systems but they
do have some basic differences. This particular HVAC system carries a hybrid
heating system which is counted as one of its unique features that helps
lowering energy costs. It is up to the homeowners to set the key differences.

 The capacity to switch between gas power, which is faster and more complete,
to electricity which is more efficient and quieter, allows homeowners to
determine the way they want to heat up their homes.

 This system is also dependent on traditional ducts and thermostats and it offers
all the advantages of a split system with an additional benefit of conserving
energy and reducing utility bills.
3. DUCT FREE (MINI-SPLIT)

 A duct-free or mini-split system comes with a huge upfront cost and a list of
benefits for particular needs and applications. It offers an amazing solution
for areas where conventional ducted systems are not suitable. It can also
be a great alternative to the existing ducted types of HVAC systems.

 Duct free units are usually installed directly into the particular areas of a
home where heating and cooling are needed. You are allowed to have
four indoor air handling units for each outdoor unit. It offers better
independent control which makes it an appropriate choice for hotels or
venues allowing tenants to control the individual temperature.
4. PACKAGED HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
 A packaged HVAC system contains everything including the compressor,
condenser and evaporator in a single unit which is usually placed on the roof or
near the foundation. It fulfills both the cooling and heating needs of a house.

 Its compact size makes it an appropriate option for houses with a space crunch.
This HVAC system is very much efficient and easy to maintain. As its heating
system is not as powerful as other options, it is generally used in a warmer
climate.

 In short, the split system is the most commonly used HVAC system whereas
hybrids are preferred due to their energy-saving capacity. Similarly, Mini-split
systems are a suitable choice for picky families or the service industry but the
packaged heating is a perfect choice for small houses.
Air Handling Unit

The air handling unit (AHU) is the heart of central air

conditioning. It collects outside air and room air, removes
dust and other particles from the collected air, adjusts the
temperature and humidity and then supplies comfortable
and refreshing air-conditioned air into the rooms through
ducts.
