  2. Attic fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attic_fan

    An attic fan installed underneath a roof. A powered attic ventilator, or attic fan, is a ventilation fan that regulates the heat level of a building's attic by exhausting hot air. A thermostat is used to automatically turn the fan off and on, while sometimes a manual switch is used. An attic fan can be gable mounted or roof mounted. Additional ...

  3. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    The fan coil unit will contain a purpose designed drip tray with drain connection for this purpose. The simplest means to drain the condensate from multiple fan coil units will be by a network of pipework laid to falls to a suitable point. Alternatively a condensate pump may be employed where space for such gravity pipework is limited.

  4. Condensate pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensate_pump

    The output of small condensate pumps is usually routed to a sewer, plumbing drain, or the outside world via PVC plastic tubing (condensate drain line). In some locales, condensate water is not permitted to enter a sewer system and must be directed to the outside of the house, usually into the leader/gutter downspout system, or the stormwater ...

  5. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

    Both supply and exhaust happened through an unconditioned attic space, with exhaust air being extracted at ceiling height and air being supplied at floor level through a vertical duct. The device was found to provide sufficient ventilation air flow for a single family home and heat recovery with an efficiency around 40%.

  6. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

  7. Air handler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

    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 handling unit applications: Normal; Hygienic; Ceiling mounted

  8. Whole-house fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole-house_fan

    A typical whole-house fan, with louvers closed when not operating. A whole house fan is a type of fan, commonly venting into a building's attic, designed to circulate air in an entire house or other building. The fan removes hot air from the building and draws in cooler outdoor air through windows and other openings.

  9. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    By comparison, most modern "warm air" furnaces typically use a fan to circulate air to the rooms of house and pull cooler air back to the furnace for reheating; this is called forced-air heat. Because the fan easily overcomes the resistance of the ductwork, the arrangement of ducts can be far more flexible than the octopus of old.
