Q

All-air systems

A

The air is blown across the cold evaporator coil in an all-air system and delivered to the rooms that require cooling via ductwork. Air systems can cool, heat, ventilate, filter, and dehumidify the air. Air-based HVAC systems use fans to create a moving current of air. Th

Q

Single-duct system with CAV

A

The single-duct system is a one-zone system. A separate supply duct and the air-handling unit are required for each zone. This system is used for small or medium-sized buildings with few zones.

Q

VAV system

A

This single-duct system can have many zones. But VAV systems cannot heat one zone while cooling another, so they are cooling-only systems. A separate heating system can be used with the VAV system. It has a low initial cost and low energy usage. It can be used for almost every building type.

Q

Terminal reheat system (CAV)

A

Instead of VAV boxes, this system has terminal reheat boxes that reheat previously cooled air. The zone with the greatest cooling load determines how much air is cooled for the entire building.

Q

Terminal reheat system (VAV)

A

the terminal reheat box also controls air volume. Varying the volume of the supply air manages the temperature. The reheat function is used only when some space needs heating while the others all need cooling.

Q

Standard dimmers

A

are for incandescent lamps. The ratings range from 600 watts to dimmers that are rated up to 2000 watts.

46
Q

Dimmers for low voltage lamps and fixtures

A

such as halogen or LED. There are two kinds: dimmers rated for magnetic transformers and dimmers rated for electronic transformers. They are usually rated in volt‐amps (VA), which are roughly the same as watts.

Magnetic‐rated dimmers are rated at least 600 VA, and electronic‐rated dimmers are rated at least 325 VA.

47
Q

Dimmers for fluorescent lamps.

A

To dim fluorescent lamps, it is necessary for the fixtures to have dimming ballasts. The dimmer needs to be designed to operate with the specific dimming ballast being supplied.
