Chilled water. Chilled water is a commodity often used to cool a building's air and equipment, especially in situations where many individual rooms must be controlled separately, such as a hotel. The chilled water can be supplied by a vendor, such as a public utility, or created at the location of the building that will use it, which has been ...
In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), testing, adjusting and balancing ( TAB) are the three major steps used to achieve proper operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. TAB usually refers to commercial building construction and the specialized contractors who employ personnel that perform this service.
District cooling is the cooling equivalent of district heating. Working on broadly similar principles to district heating, district cooling delivers chilled water to buildings like offices and factories. In winter, the source for cooling can often be seawater, so it is a cheaper resource than electricity to run compressors for cooling.
Vapour-compression refrigeration or vapor-compression refrigeration system ( VCRS ), [1] in which the refrigerant undergoes phase changes, is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most widely used method for air conditioning of buildings and automobiles. It is also used in domestic and commercial refrigerators, large-scale warehouses ...
A chilled beam is a type of radiation/convection HVAC system designed to heat and cool large buildings through the use of water. This method removes most of the zone sensible local heat gains and allows the flow rate of pre-conditioned air from the air handling unit to be reduced, lowering by 60% to 80% the ducted design airflow rate and the equipment capacity requirements.
Mechanical systems drawing is a type of technical drawing that shows information about heating, ventilating, air conditioning and transportation around the building (Elevators or Lifts and Escalator). [1] It is a powerful tool that helps analyze complex systems. These drawings are often a set of detailed drawings used for construction projects ...
In a variable primary chilled-water system, the design flow rate is determined by the water flow velocity in the tube of the coils. At typical conditions, 6–7 feet per second (1.8–2.1 m/s) Maximum 12 ft/s (3.7 m/s) Minimum 1.5 ft/s (0.46 m/s) (based on a Reynolds number of 7500) Minimum flow is typically 50% or less of the design flow.
