  2. Ductwork airtightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductwork_airtightness

    The ductwork airtightness level is the airflow rate through ductwork leakages divided by the ductwork area. It is recommended to test at least 10% and 10 m 2 of the duct surface including all duct types and a variety of sizes and components. The ductwork surface area is estimated according to EN 14239. [11]

  3. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    Duct leakage test in the US. 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. Fire damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_damper

    Fire damper. Interior of German mechanical fire damper inside of a galvanised steel duct. Fire dampers (or fire shutters) are passive fire protection products used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts to prevent and isolate the spread of fire inside the ductwork through fire-resistance rated walls and floors.

  5. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

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

    In the lower middle is the capacitor. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ( HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.

  6. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    Ventilation (architecture) An ab anbar (water reservoir) with double domes and windcatchers (openings near the top of the towers) in the central desert city of Naeen, Iran. Windcatchers are a form of natural ventilation. [ 1] Ventilation is the intentional introduction of outdoor air into a space. Ventilation is mainly used to control indoor ...

  7. Demand controlled ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_controlled_ventilation

    Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) is a feedback control method to maintain indoor air quality that automatically adjusts the ventilation rate provided to a space in response to changes in conditions such as occupant number or indoor pollutant concentration. The most common indoor pollutants monitored in DCV systems are carbon dioxide and ...

  8. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

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

    Ducts are conduits or passages used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to deliver and remove air. The needed airflows include, for example, supply air, return air, and exhaust air. [ 1] Ducts commonly also deliver ventilation air as part of the supply air. As such, air ducts are one method of ensuring acceptable indoor air ...

  9. Air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning

    Air conditioning can be achieved using a mechanical 'air conditioner' or by other methods, including passive cooling and ventilative cooling. [ 2][ 3] Air conditioning is a member of a family of systems and techniques that provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). [ 4] Heat pumps are similar in many ways to air conditioners ...
