2. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   Round duct is made using a continuous spiral forming machine which can make round duct in nearly any diameter when using the right forming die and to any length to suit, but the most common stock sizes range evenly from 4" to 24" (10-60 cm) with 6"-12" (15-30 cm) being most commonly used. Stock pipe is usually sold in 10' (300 cm) joints.

3. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

   Usually, a register is placed near a window or door, which is where the greatest heat/cooling loss occurs. [4] [5] In contrast, returns (grilled ducts which suck air back into the HVAC system for heating or cooling) are usually placed in the wall or ceiling nearest the center of the building. Generally, in rooms where it is critical to maintain ...

   Air handling unit, used for heating, cooling, and filtering the air. Air cleaning and filtration removes particles, contaminants, vapors and gases from the air. The filtered and cleaned air then is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Air cleaning and filtration should be taken in account when protecting our building environments ...

5. Heating system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_system

   Central heating systems: These systems produce heat in one central location and distribute it throughout the building. This category includes furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps. [1] [2] Distributed heating systems: These systems generate heat in the space they are to heat, without extensive duct systems. Examples include electric space heaters ...

6. Forced-air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

   A forced-air central heating system is one which uses air as its heat transfer medium. These systems rely on ductwork, vents, and plenums as means of air distribution, separate from the actual heating and air conditioning systems. The return plenum carries the air from several large return grills (vents) to a central air handler for re-heating ...

7. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

   PTAC systems may be adapted to provide heating in cold weather, either directly by using an electric strip, gas, or other heaters, or by reversing the refrigerant flow to heat the interior and draw heat from the exterior air, converting the air conditioner into a heat pump. They may be installed in a wall opening with the help of a special ...
