  2. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases in a direction at an angle to the incoming fluid. Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel).

  3. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

    The air flow capacities of the fans are compared and connected in same outlet or same inlet conditions. This causes noise , specifically referred to as Beating in case of fans in parallel. To avoid beating use is made of differing inlet conditions, differences in rotational speeds of the fans , etc.

  4. Room air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_air_distribution

    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.

  5. Air handler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

    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 ...

  6. Blower door - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

    Blower door tests are used by building researchers, weatherization crews, home performance contractors, home energy auditors, and others in efforts to assess the construction quality of the building envelope, locate air leakage pathways, assess how much ventilation is supplied by the air leakage, assess the energy losses resulting from that air ...

  7. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

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

    Ducts for air pollution control in a 17000 standard cubic feet per minute regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). A round galvanized steel duct connecting to a typical diffuser Fire-resistance rated mechanical shaft with HVAC sheet metal ducting and copper piping, as well as "HOW" (Head-Of-Wall) joint between top of concrete block wall and underside of concrete slab, firestopped with ceramic ...

  8. Airflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airflow

    Airflow, or air flow, is the movement of air. Air behaves in a fluid manner, meaning particles naturally flow from areas of higher pressure to those where the pressure is lower. Atmospheric air pressure is directly related to altitude , temperature , and composition.

  9. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

    The airflow is typically generated by a mechanical fan of any type, as described in this article, and is hidden in the base of the display cabinet. HVAC linear slot diffusers also utilize this effect to increase airflow evenly in rooms compared to registers while reducing the energy used by the air handling unit blower .
