HVAC Fundamentals - Air Side Systems (Part 2)  

Education Type: 
On-Demand
Duration: 
0.5 hours
Level: 
Intermediate

This module focuses on establishing some different ways to classify air side systems because there is such a variety used today. We classify by: methodology, unit type, add-on features, and distribution.

In addition, a few common considerations for air-side HVAC system performance are discussed, including preheat coils, filter systems, reset strategies, and system effect.

Finally this module explains how an air-side economizer is ideally supposed to operate and the potential for different modes of failure and inefficiency.
