have flow-sensing devices that limit the flow rate through the box. They
can control the maximum and minimum CFM that can be supplied and are

- While the Energy Center usually tries to avoid the use of
acronyms, 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.
Q.65) What Is The Meaning Of Btu In
Air Conditioners?
- Btu – British thermal unit (Btu) is the international measure of
energy. A Btu is the amount of heat needed to raise 1 (one) pound of water

of heat a conditioning unit can remove from a room per hour. One BTU per
hour is equal to 0293 watts.
Q.66) What Is Variable Air Volume
System & Dual Duct System?
- Variable Air Volume (VAV) is a type of heating, ventilating,
and/or air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Unlike constant air volume (CAV)
systems, which supply a constant airflow at a variable temperature, VAV
systems vary the airflow at a constant temperature.
Q.67) What Is Constant Volume
System?
- Constant Air Volume (CAV) is a type of heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) system. In a simple CAV system, the supply air
flow rate is constant, but the supply air temperature is varied to meet
the thermal loads of a space. Most CAV systems are small and serve a
single thermal zone.
Q.68) What Is Centralized Air
System?
- The most common central cooling system is a split system, which
includes an outdoor cabinet containing a condenser coil and compressor,
and an indoor evaporator coil, usually installed in conjunction with your
furnace, or air handler. The compressor pumps a chemical called
refrigerant through the system.
Q.69) What Is The Meaning Of FAHU?
- FAHU is the abbreviation used for FRESH AIR HANDLING UNIT. These
are usually centralized units employed to induce fresh air quantities to
the confined spaces. They come into picture wherever there are limitations
to fresh air intake either directly or through AHUs.
Q.70) What Is Cfm &
Infiltration?
- The infiltration rate is the volumetric flow rate of outside air
into a building, typically in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or liters per
second (LPS). The air exchange rate, (I), is the number of interior volume
air changes that occur per hour, and has units of 1/h.
