Abstract

The purpose of a Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is to provide and maintain a comfortable environment within a building for the occupants or a suitable environment for the process being conducted. This book covers basic HVAC systems of the all-air type, where all functions of heating, ventilating, and air conditionings are performed by an air handling system. Some functions for central hydronic cooling and heating distribution are included which also apply to air-water and all water types of systems. The principal functions of HVAC systems and control systems are:

  • To maintain comfortable conditions in the space by providing the desired cooling and heating outputs, while factors which affect the cooling and heating outputs vary
  • To maintain comfortable conditions while using the least amount of energy.
  • To operate the HVAC system so as to provide a healthy environment for occupants and safe conditions for equipment.

The ability of a system operator to diagnose and correct automatic temperature control (ATC) system operating problems requires a working knowledge of HVAC system types, the components of HVAC systems, the intended function of those components in the HVAC system, and the HVAC equipment-to-control interactions. Many problems which are considered to be HVAC system design problems are found to be ATC system operating problems. In order to determine whether the ATC system is functioning properly, it is necessary to determine how each control sequence is intended to function.
