Top 4 Types of HVAC Systems
HVAC systems are more used in different types of buildings such as industrial, commercial, residential and institutional buildings. The main mission of HVAC system is to satisfy the thermal comfort of occupants by adjusting and changing the outdoor air conditions to the desired conditions of occupied buildings. Depending on outdoor conditions, the outdoor air is drawn into the buildings and heated or cooled before it is distributed into the occupied spaces, then it is exhausted to the ambient air or reused in the system. The selection of HVAC systems in a given building will depend on the climate, the age of the building, the individual preferences of the owner of the building and a designer of a project, the project budget, the architectural design of the buildings.
1. Heating and Air Conditioning Split System
This type of HVAC unit is called a split system because it has both an outdoor and an indoor unit. The outside unit has the compressor and condenser, and the indoor unit has the blower and evaporator coil.
This kind of system is the most popular kind of HVAC system. With a split system, you’ll often connect it to a furnace. Or you can connect it to a heat pump.
Generally, a split HVAC system has a series of pipes which circulate refrigerant between the indoor and the outdoor unit. It also has an evaporator coil, which is usually located above the inside furnace.
With a split system, you can control the temperature in your home using a thermostat. On older models, the thermostat is simply a dial. But more modern systems have digital control panels.
2. Hybrid Heat Pump System
If you have a hybrid pump system, you have a heat pump that’s used alongside a furnace. The furnace is powered by natural gas or propane. Heat pumps are effectively air conditioners that reverse their function to heat up your home.
If the temperature drops below 40 degrees, your heat pump becomes less efficient. When it gets this cold, the system will use the furnace to heat your home. When it isn’t too cold, this kind of system can work very efficiently by taking the warmth from the outside air and transferring it into your home.
3. Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump
If you have a living situation where a traditional duct-based HVAC system isn’t feasible, you could have a ductless system. You can also use this kind of system in conjunction with another HVAC system.
For example, if your current HVAC system isn’t heating and cooling one particular room in the house, you could install a ductless HVAC system in that room. Since there are no ducts involved, installing this kind of system isn’t as difficult as other kinds of HVAC units.
4. Packaged Heating & Air Conditioning System
A packaged HVAC system has the compressor, evaporator, and condenser all within a single unit. The unit is often located on the roof of your property.
If you have limited space to install an HVAC system, it often makes sense to install a packaged unit instead of a split system. Packaged HVAC systems often include a furnace or electric coils for heating.
