What are the key components of a typical centralized all-air HVAC system? Write the
component name and their corresponding function/role. Based on the heat transfer media,
HVAC systems can be classified into how many systems? Which system is the most popular
system and why?
Solution
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning.
The key components and their functions are as follows:
1. Thermostat. - to keep the home at a desired temperature. When the ambient temperature
becomes too cold or too hot, the thermostat will trigger the heat exchanger or the evaporator coil-
condensing unit combo to begin circulating warmed or cooled air as needed.
2. Furnace. - to heat a supply of air which is to be distributed to various rooms of the building via
the HVAC. This heating process is accomplished using one of four possible heat sources --
combustion (burning natural gas, oil, coal, or propane), electric resistance, heat pump, or solar
energy collected on site.
3. Heat exchanger. - switches on when the furnace is activated by thermostat to produce warmer
temperatures in winter. The heat exchanger pulls in cool air, heats it, and circulates the resulting
heated air via your ducts and out through the vents.
4. Evaporator coil. - it acts to cool the air when the thermostat is set to lower temperatures in
summer. which is then circulated through the ductwork.
5. Condensing unit. - When the refrigerant has been cooled to a liquid by heat exchange with the
exterior air, the condensing unit pumps the liquid to the evaporator coil to be evaporated into a
gas once more.
6. Refrigerant lines. The refrigerant lines carry a refrigerant substance to the condensing unit
vaporized in the form of a gas, and return it to the evaporator coil in liquid form.
7. Ductwork. - system of ducts that transports air warmed or cooled by the system to the various
areas of the building.
8. Vents. - transfer the heated or cooled air from the duct system into the individual rooms of the
building.
