Air conditioning is referred to as High-Voltage Alternating Current which is abbreviated in to HVAC. Air conditioner with the support of refrigeration cycle extracts heat from your living room or office. This mechanism is especially designed to make your living room more comfortable. In offices and computer server rooms air conditioner maintains constant and optimum temperatures.
The technology behind the conditioner
New designed models are provided with ‘heat pump’ technology, benefiting to both consumer and the environment.
This technology based mechanisms are space saving and more energy-efficient. This system works as a fridge does, as it can both cool and heat buildings. This system achieves efficiencies between 300% and 500%.
Different options for Air Conditioner are available in the markets such as ‘Heat Pump’ Technology, ‘floor standing’, ‘ceiling or wall mounting’ unit, and Slip air conditioning systems. These different types of model will have different functions. So, to select the best one that suits your needs can be tricky.
To have maximum flexibility over programs of the system and room temperatures, buy an air conditioner with remote control.
Terms often used in air conditioning system
- Air to air ‘heat pump’ or ‘cooling unit’: A fan which connects the duct work for cooling and heating the indoor atmosphere and another fan which rejects heat to the external atmosphere.
- Air cooled chillers: An externally located compressor or condenser. Frozen water is got from these chillers.
- Air to water heat pump: This comes with a reversing valve and hot water as well as chilled water.
- Water to water chillers: Instead of air water is used to reject heat. The circuit which rejects the water is condenser water. It is provided by a cooling tower.
- Defrost circuits: In this the external coil freezes with ice even at low temperatures when heat pump extracts heat from external atmosphere.
Generally air conditioning system consists of filter, fan and cooling or heating coils. Heat pump unit is an outdoor unit which provides heating and cooling. It is associated with direct equipment expansion incorporated with coil, reversing valve, compressor and fan.
