What is HVAC
HVAC Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning
HVAC is in common use in the heating and cooling industry.
It stands for "heating, ventilation and air conditioning" three
functions often combined into one system in today's modern
homes and buildings.
Warmed or cooled or dehumidified air flows through a series of
tubes - called ducts - to be distributed to all the rooms.
A central HVAC system is the most quiet and convenient way to
cool an entire office.

Why Apply Variable Frequency Drives to Fans?

Significant Energy Savings: 20% to 50%

Low Maintenance: No mechanical linkages or
controls to wear out
Reduces Noise Level: Slower speed = less noise

Reduces Inrush Current: Reduces demand charge

Air Handling Unit(AHU)

Cold water, the warm water, and the steam, etc. supplied from the external heat source
equipment are used, and air handling unit (Air Handling Unit) is a temperature of air and an
air harmony comparatively machine of a big all-in-one design that controls the humidity and
supplies it to the room. The air filter, the heat exchanger, the humidifier, and the blower (fan)
are put in the casing of the metal. Being set up by a special machine room, and taking air
from each room by the duct, and being ventilated to each room by the duct are general.
