  2. Constant air volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_air_volume

    Constant air volume (CAV) is a type of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. 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.

    The condenser is the hot side of an air conditioner or heat pump. Condensers are heat exchangers, and can transfer heat to air or to an intermediate fluid (such as water or an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol) to carry heat to a distant sink, such as ground (earth sink), a body of water, or air (as with cooling towers). constant air volume

  4. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    Centrifugal fans are, like axial fans, constant-volume devices, meaning that, at a constant fan speed, a centrifugal fan moves a relatively constant volume of air rather than a constant mass. This means that the air velocity in a system is fixed, but the actual mass of air flowing will vary based on the density of the air. Variations in density ...

    Gas detection (CO 2) In a survey on Norwegian schools, using CO 2 sensors for DCV was found to reduce energy consumption by 62% when compared with a constant air volume (CAV) ventilation system. [7] [8] Security equipment data share (including people counting video software) [9] [10] Inference from other system sensors/equipment, like smart ...

    where V 100 is the volume occupied by a given sample of gas at 100 °C; V 0 is the volume occupied by the same sample of gas at 0 °C; and k is a constant which is the same for all gases at constant pressure. This equation does not contain the temperature and so is not what became known as Charles's Law.

  8. Volume (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(thermodynamics)

    An isochoric process however operates at a constant-volume, thus no work can be produced. Many other thermodynamic processes will result in a change in volume. A polytropic process , in particular, causes changes to the system so that the quantity p V n {\displaystyle pV^{n}} is constant (where p {\displaystyle p} is pressure, V {\displaystyle ...

    Shortly after Guericke, the Anglo-Irish physicist and chemist Robert Boyle had learned of Guericke's designs and, in 1656, in coordination with English scientist Robert Hooke, built an air pump. [10] Using this pump, Boyle and Hooke noticed a correlation between pressure, temperature, and volume.
