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

    An air conditioning system, or a standalone air conditioner, provides cooling and/or humidity control for all or part of a building. Air conditioned buildings often have sealed windows, because open windows would work against the system intended to maintain constant indoor air conditions.

  3. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.

  4. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

    An air conditioner designed for an occupied space will typically achieve a 30% to 60% relative humidity in the occupied space. [51] Most modern air-conditioning systems feature a dehumidification cycle during which the compressor runs. At the same time, the fan is slowed to reduce the evaporator temperature and condense more water.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    A plug is a short barbed fitting with a blank end that can only be used with PEX piping to end the continuation of a water line that is no longer in use due to tying in elsewhere within the system or to seal the end of a water line which may be used for future use in the case of additional facilities. All plugs are sealed watertight with a PEX ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil

    Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in spark-gap radio transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s, [1] [4] and in medical equipment such as electrotherapy and violet ray devices. Today, their main usage is for entertainment and educational displays, although small coils are still used as leak detectors for high-vacuum systems ...
