HVAC System Overview and Components

HVAC systems provide heating and cooling to buildings using fresh air. There are four main types: split systems, hybrid systems, duct-free systems, and packaged heating and air systems. HVAC systems have four key components - the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and expansion valve. Together, these components use refrigerant to cool and dehumidify incoming air through phase changes. HVAC is widely used to regulate temperature and humidity in residential buildings, vehicles, industrial facilities, and marine environments.

HVAC system
• HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This
system provides heating and cooling to residential and
commercial [Link] more and more popular in new
construction, these systems use fresh air from outdoors to
provide high indoor air quality.
• There are 4 main types of HVAC systems. There are split
systems, hybrid systems, duct-free systems, and packaged
heating and air systems.
HVAC components
• There are four important components
[Link] evaporator
• The evaporator is located in the cold side of the air conditioner.
Its main function is to receive liquid refrigerant and turn it into
gas, which then cools and dehumidifies the air. The gas absorbs
all of the heat from the air and takes it to the condenser
HVAC components
• Condenser
• The condenser is the counterpart to the evaporator and is
located in the hot side of the air conditioner. It functions to bring
that hot, condensed refrigerant gas back outside to vent the heat
and turn the refrigerant back into a liquid form.
HVAC components
• Compressor
• The compressor is a big electric pump that works with the
condenser to turn the refrigerant back to liquid. It does this by
pressurizing the refrigerant gas. The compressor is also located in
the hot side of the air conditioner with the condenser.
• Expansion valve
• The expansion valve works with the evaporator, but is usually
located in-between the evaporator and condenser. Its job is to
regulate how much liquid refrigerant is moving into the
evaporator, where it then changes into gas.
HVAC system uses
• HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single
family homes, apartment buildings, hotels and senior living facilities,
medium to large industrial and office buildings such
as skyscrapers and hospitals, vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes,
ships and submarines, and in marine environments, where safe
and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to
temperature and humidity using fresh air from outdoors.
HVAC system energy efficiency
• Energy efficient systems utilize heat recovery ventilation or energy
recovery ventilation systems that employ heat exchangers or enthalpy
wheels to recover sensible or latent heat from exhausted air. This is
done by transfer of energy to the incoming outside fresh air.
HVAC heating energy
• In the past, water heating was more efficient for heating buildings
and was the standard in the United States. Today, forced air systems
can double for air conditioning and are more popular.
• Some benefits of forced air systems, which are now widely used in
churches, schools and high-end residences, are
• Better air conditioning effects
• Energy savings of up to 15-20%
HVAC system mechanism
• The three main functions of an HVAC system are interrelated,
especially when providing acceptable indoor air quality and
thermal [Link] and air conditioning system is often
one of the most complicated and extensive systems, but when it
stops working you’ll know soon enough! There are nine parts to
HVAC system that should be familiar with the air return, filter,
exhaust outlets, ducts, electrical elements, outdoor unit,
compressor, coils and blower.
