WHAT IS AN HVAC SYSTEM
Air conditioning system, including temperature, humidity, air cleanliness and air circulation, is called HVAC (Full Name: Heating, Ventilation, Air conditioning and Cooling). This system provides heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings. You can find HVAC systems anywhere from single-family homes to cruise ship where HVAC provides the means for environmental comfort. Becoming more and more popular in new construction, these systems use fresh air from outdoors to provide high indoor air quality.
Contemporary systems for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) rely to a great extent on technology for flow and energy calculation. Owners of commercial and industrial facilities aim to deploy advanced flow metering solutions that allow them to accomplish optimum hydronic cooling and heating levels, even under very difficult conditions. In chilled/hot water systems, the reliability and efficiency of pumps may have a huge effect on running costs and performance.
To change the chilled/hot water flow, many construction systems now combine variable speed drives with pumps. Without losing resources or augmenting the wear on facilities, this method suits the water flow to the building’s needs.
In recent years, ultrasonic transit time flow measures have emerged as a common alternative for HVAC-related applications. Ultrasonic waves propagate upstream and downstream across the pipe wall and through the liquid circulating in the pipe with this technology. The meter measures the speed and flow rate by calculating the deviation in the travel time and understanding the pipe dimension.
Clamp-on flow meters for ultrasonic transit time can validate that water is correctly circulated through piping loops for HVAC units’ chilled and hot water sides, so that pumps can pass water via the system in a manner that guarantees higher efficiency and reduced costs of the asset life cycle.
