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

the inside
Siemens sans environment.

• A HVAC system comprises air conditioning plant, air and water
reticulation, and controls.

What affects a HVAC system design ?
• HVAC systems are designed to overcome the outside environment

and building design.
• HVAC systems are designed to maintain comfort conditions for

the building occupants.
• HVAC systems are designed to maintain stringent conditions for

• HVAC systems are designed to meet energy costs and reliability
from an owners point of view.

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 thesans
siemens conditioned
bold space.
• Cooling - the process of removing thermal energy (heat) from the
siemens sans italic
air in sans
siemens theitalic
conditioned
bold space.
• Humidifying
siemens sans black - the process of adding water vapor (moisture) to
the air.
• Dehumidifying - the process of removing water vapor
(moisture) from the air.

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
simultaneously heat an adjacent room on
