    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

    Typically, used in industrial or commercial settings, or in "once-through" (blower sections that only blow air one-way into the building), "low flow" (air handling systems that blow air at a low flow rate), or "primary-secondary" (air handling systems that have an air handler or rooftop unit connected to an add-on makeup unit or hood ...

  3. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    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). Tiny ones used in computers are sometimes called biscuit blowers. These fans move air from the rotating inlet of the ...

  4. HVAC control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC_control_system

    HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) equipment needs a control system to regulate the operation of a heating and/or air conditioning system. [1] Usually a sensing device is used to compare the actual state (e.g. temperature) with a target state. Then the control system draws a conclusion what action has to be taken (e.g. start the ...

  5. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

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

    The oscillator is a mechanism that motions the fan from side to side. The armature axle shaft comes out on both ends of the motor; one end of the shaft is attached to the blade, and the other is attached to the oscillator gearbox. The motor case joins the gearbox to contain the rotor and stator.

  6. Air handler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

    An air handler, or air handling unit (often abbreviated to AHU), is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. [1] An air handler is usually a large metal box containing a blower , furnace or A/C elements, filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators , and dampers . [ 2 ]

  7. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    An industrial type of AC motor with electrical terminal box at the top and output rotating shaft on the left. Such motors are widely used for pumps, blowers, conveyors and other industrial machinery. An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC).

  8. Blowing engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_engine

    The air valves are also driven by eccentrics from this same shaft. Like the beam engines, the main force of the piston is transmitted to the air cylinder by a purely reciprocating action and the flywheels exist to smooth the action of the engine. To permit adjustment, the steam piston rod only goes as far as the crosshead. Above this are ...

  9. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

    These motors are sometimes called DC motors, sometimes EC motors and occasionally DC/EC motors. DC stands for direct current and EC stands for electronically commutated.. DC motors allow the speed of the fans within a fan coil unit to be controlled by means of a 0-10 Volt input control signal to the motor/s, the transformers and speed switches associated with AC fan coils are not required.
