Most commonly, VAV boxes are pressure independent, meaning the VAV box uses controls to deliver a constant flow rate regardless of variations in system pressures experienced at the VAV inlet. [2] This is accomplished by an airflow sensor that is placed at the VAV inlet which opens or closes the damper within the VAV box to adjust the airflow. [2]
Displacement ventilation systems supply air directly to the occupied zone.The air is supplied at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is used for ventilation and cooling of large high spaces, such as auditorium and atria, where energy may be saved if only the occupied zone is treated rather than trying to control the conditions in the entire space.
DCV is primarily used in variable-air-volume (VAV) systems. In DCV VAV systems, airflow to a zone is modulated to control the temperature and outdoor airflow to the space. Using the pollutant levels measured in a zone, the system’s controller sets the zone’s minimum airflow requirement to dilute the pollutant concentration. [4]
DOAS air handling unit with heat recovery wheel and passive dehumidification. A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) is a type of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system that consists of two parallel systems: a dedicated system for delivering outdoor air ventilation that handles both the latent and sensible loads of conditioning the ventilation air, and a parallel system to handle the ...
Air flow control (CAV or VAV air handlers) Zone control (single zone or multi zone air handlers) Fan location (draw-through or blow-through) Direction of outlet air flow (front, up, or down) Package model (horizontal or vertical) But, the first method is very usual in HVAC market. In fact, most of the company advertise their products by air ...
In a simple CAV system, the supply air flow rate is constant, but the supply air temperature is varied to meet the thermal loads of a space. [1] Most CAV systems are small, and serve a single thermal zone. However, variations such as CAV with reheat, CAV multizone, and CAV primary-secondary systems can serve multiple zones and larger buildings.
A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature and climate control - for example, in the case of ...
A new parameter, effective Air Changes per Hour (called ACHH by Mojtaba Zabihi et. al. [8]), which incorporates both the flow rate and large-scale airflow patterns, could provide a more accurate measure of how efficiently air is supplied and circulated within a room. This is particularly important for effectively managing airborne disease spread.
