In this module we introduce pumps, their components, operation, standard equations, and applications. Pumps are critical in your understanding of HVAC equipment because Water is often employed as a heat transfer medium between load management devices like chillers or boilers and pumps do all the work.
This module discusses HVAC heating equipment focusing less on heat pump systems covered in the cooling section, and more fossil fuel based boilers. Several configurations exist for commercial HVAC heating equipment, including simple heat pumps, heat recovery chillers, gas-fired furnaces, hot water boilers, and steam systems. This module reviews basic arrangements for these systems and discusses standard system components.
