  2. Dehumidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumidifier

    Dehumidifiers are designed to pass air directly over the cooling coils and then the heating coils in a single efficient pass through the device. In addition, most air conditioners are controlled by a thermostat which senses temperature, rather than a humidistat that senses humidity and is typically used to control a dehumidifier.

  3. Heat recovery ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation

    Ventilation unit with heat pump & ground heat exchanger - cooling. Heat recovery ventilation (HRV), also known as mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) is a ventilation system that recovers energy by operating between two air sources at different temperatures. It is used to reduce the heating and cooling demands of buildings.

  4. Moisture removal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_removal_efficiency

    DOAS Diagram. Moisture Removal Efficiency (MRE) is a measure of the energy efficiency of any dehumidification process. Moisture removal efficiency is the water vapor removed from air at a defined inlet air temperature and humidity, divided by the total energy consumed by the dehumidification equipment during the same time period, including all fan and pump energy needed to move air and fluids ...

  5. Thermoelectric cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling

    Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.

  6. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    For example, a conventional heat pump system used to heat a building in Montana's −57 °C (−70 °F) low temperature or cool a building in the highest temperature ever recorded in the US—57 °C (134 °F) in Death Valley, California, in 1913 would require a large amount of energy due to the extreme difference between inside and outside air ...

  7. Glossary of HVAC terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

    A heat exchanger is the part of the system that transfers heat from the hot parts of the machine or a system to the cold parts of the machine or system. heat gain heat load heat loss Terms for the amount of cooling (heat gain) or heating (heat loss) needed to maintain desired temperatures and humidifies in controlled air.

  8. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.

  9. Packaged terminal air conditioner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaged_terminal_air...

    Packaged terminal air conditioner installed in a residential apartment. A packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) is a type of self-contained heating and air conditioning system intended to be mounted through a wall. [1] The first practical semi-portable air conditioning unit invented by engineers at Chrysler Motors. It entered the market in ...
