HVAC refers to heating, ventilation and air conditioning
and is a climate control mechanism used in many different areas
from skyscrapers to aquariums. Many homeowners also use HVAC systems
in their home to maintain a fairly constant temperature and add
to the comfort of the home.
HVAC Systems May be Centralized or Localized
A centralized heating system includes a boiler, furnace or heat
pump in a central room that is used to distribute hot water, steam
or air around the home. In order to distribute this it will use
piping or ductwork.
HVAC Systems May be Radiant or Forced Air Systems
Radiant systems distribute heated water through the ductwork to
radiators which then refer this heat to the air. Forced air systems
send heated air through the ductwork which means that the ducts
can also be used for air conditioning systems.
Apart from their heating functions, HVAC systems may also be used
for ventilation which means the exchanging of air. This is used
to remove smells and moisture, and also to keep the air within a
room or home circulating.
Air Conditioning Systems
Air conditioning is really the opposite of the heating systems
as it helps to reduce the temperature using cold water, air, ice
or refrigerants. Air conditioners may also provide dehumidification
through an evaporator.
