1. Temperature control
2. Humidity control
3. Air movement and circulation
4. Air filtering, cleaning and purification.
 Air-Conditioning system
Air-Conditioning system is defined as the assembly of
different parts of the system used to produce a specified
condition of air within a required space or building.
The basic elements of Air-Conditioning systems are:
1. Fans for moving air.
2. Filters for cleaning air.
3. Refrigerating plant connected to heat exchange surface,
such as finned coils or chilled water sprays.
4. Means for warming the air, such as hot water or steam
heated coils or electrical elements.
5. Means for humidification and dehumidification.
6. Control system to regulate automatically the amount of
cooling or warming.
