Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
Heating, Ventilating, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) relates to systems that perform processes designed to
regulate the air conditions within buildings for the comfort and safety of
occupants or for commercial and industrial processes or for storage of goods.
HVAC systems condition and move air to desired areas of an indoor environment to
create and maintain desirable temperature, humidity, ventilation and air
purity.
Heating
Heaters are appliances whose
purpose is to generate heat (i.e. warmth) for the building. This can be done
via central heating. Such a system contains a boiler, furnace, or heat pump to
heat water, steam, or air in a central location such as a furnace room in a
home, or a mechanical room in a large building. The heat can be transferred by
convection, conduction, or radiation.
Ventilation
It is the intentional
introduction of ambient air into a space and is mainly used to control indoor
air quality by diluting and displacing indoor pollutants; it can also be used
for purposes of thermal comfort or dehumidification.
Air
conditioning
It is the process of removing
heat from the interior of an occupied space, to improve the comfort of
occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both domestic and commercial
environments.
