HVAC? What is it?
The term HVAC is very common in the world of air conditioning and ventilation, and for good reason. It is not an acronym created for text messages, but rather one that encompasses all the elements of a building mechanical system that ensures the comfort of occupants. These seemingly simple devices operate according to various principles of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
HVAC? Let’s break down each letter together
H for Heating: This is the portion responsible for bringing heat into an environment. Several pieces of equipment are designed to heat the ambient air, such as rooftop units or air heaters.
V for Ventilation: This refers to equipment used to bring fresh air into the building and remove stale air or air containing carbon monoxide.
AC for Air Conditioning: This refers to units used to cool the ambient air during hot weather.
