HVAC Unit
Integrated heating, ventilation, and/or air-conditioning equipment with electrical actuators and refrigeration components.
An HVAC unit may provide ventilation, heating, cooling, dehumidification, or a combination of these functions.
For units with a refrigeration circuit, relevant parameters include heating capacity, COP, SCOP, EER, SEER, refrigerant type and charge, and compressor construction.
The air-handling section is characterised by airflow rate, available external static pressure, and maximum fresh-air fraction.
Cooling or dehumidification operation may require a dedicated condensate drain.
Selection considers unit function, electrical input, air-side characteristics, acoustic performance, inverter control, and IEC 60335-2-40 compliance where applicable.
HVAC units for ventilation, heating, cooling, and air treatment.
