SYNOPSIS :

The objective of air conditioning or HVAC system is to provide an acceptable level of occupancy comfort and process function, to maintain good indoor air quality, and to keep system costs and energy to a minimum. Comfort air conditioning systems provide occupants with a comfortable and healthy indoor environment in which to carry out their activities. Process air conditioning systems provide needed indoor environmental control for manufacturing, product storage, clean and controlled spaces, or other research and development processes.

Centralized heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems provide the people working inside buildings with “conditioned air” so that they will have a comfortable and healthy work environment. By “conditioned air” and “good air quality”, we mean that air should be clean and odour-free and the temperature, humidity, and movement of the air will be within certain acceptable comfort ranges. A centralized HVAC system is simply a group of components working together to remove heat from where it is not wanted (the conditioned space), and put it where it is unobjectionable (the outside air).
