Overview: Before knowing how HVAC system works it is very important to know what actually HVAC system is and why it is essential for your building. HVAC stands for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. They are used almost everywhere, from your home to the large systems used in industrial complexes and industrial blocks. An efficient HVAC system aims to provide thermal control and indoor comfort. Let’s understand the various parts that make up the HVAC system so that you get to know how they work together.
- In HVAC system, the furnaces uses natural gas or oil to warm the air and the heat exchanger which is placed within the furnace is responsible for heating up the air to the right temperature.
- The air conditioner that cools the air uses electricity and coolant liquid to reduce the temperature of the air, while sending hot air outside and cool air inside.
- In the HVAC system, the ductwork plays a role of transit system for hot and cold air throughout the building.
- Another part in the HVAC is thermostat that acts as a brain of the HVAC system. It controls the system and also operates other special feature that you have installed alongside your system.
The HVAC system is a combination of a furnace and air conditioning system and the thermostat is the brain that controls the way it works. The HVAC system that will easily meet your comfort needs without drawing on excess power. HVAC systems are basically built to offer humidity control, and both humidifiers and dehumidifiers can be added as options to heating and cooling systems. There are four different components of HVAC and this is what makes up HVAC basics:
Indoor unit: Through the furnace or air handler (Includes in indoor units) your building is able to stay warm and comfortable as, it tends to be located in the basement, or attic.
Outdoor unit: Outdoor unit such as air conditioner is responsible for keeping your building cool in warm weather and it utilizes coolant liquid along with electricity to bring down the air’s temperature. It is also accountable for gasping the hot air outside and trapping the cold air inside.
Thermostat: Thermostat controls when the furnace and air conditioner operate and allow you to choose the optimal temperature to fit your requirements.
Ductwork: It is one of the important components of HVAC system. Ductwork is the piping system that is used to transfer hot and cold air to disperse throughout your building.
