- In the last post, we covered the area of HVAC dealing with air conditioning and refrigeration. For today’s blog post, we’d like to quickly go over the other major topic of HVAC industry – heating systems. In geographical areas where temperature fluctuation tends to be quite extreme, a good working heating system is a vital necessity –especially during the colder winter months. The main challenge of heating systems frequently comes from the heat distribution method. There are a couple types of heating system and it is important to take into account their functionality to decide which is the best type for your application.
- Boilers utilizes hot water which travels up to radiators and gets circulated around in a system – so instead of using a fan and ducts, appliances which utilizes boiler as a heat source commonly uses pump to flows the hot water to other parts of the house/building. Since circulation is the most recurring challenge in heating appliances, an optimal pump design must be installed into the system to make sure that the heat is distributed evenly to each part of site.
- Within central heating there is also heat pump system which works as two-way air conditioner (direct and reverse). During the hotter season, heat pumps work to moving heat from indoor (cooler) to outdoor (higher temperature), and vice versa during the colder months. Heat pumps generally use electricity to move heat from one place to another.
- The second heating system utilizes direct heat. Usually direct heat is used to transfer heat /raise temperature in a small targeted area. In the most common cases, the heat output is relatively small.
- The most common installation nowadays which utilizes this system is gas fired space heaters or electric space heaters (for more modern implementation), whereas the more conventional one would be fireplaces. This type of heating is less effective for an overall building system.
