An HVAC designer will recommend different types of air conditioning systems for different applications. The most commonly used are described in this article.

Refrigerants are the life blood of the vapor compression system. The refrigerant flows continuously through the vapor compression cycle, absorbing the heat in the evaporator and releasing it in the condenser. It undergoes various phase changes while flowing though the cycle.

Manufacturing of various products is carried out with the help of different kinds of machines. Lathe machine is one of the oldest, yet most useful and versatile of such kind of manufacturing machines, and can be used for numerous manufacturing operations on a wide range of materials.

The HVAC system selected haphazardly for your home or office can turn out to be insufficient or highly expensive. For achieving comfortable conditions at optimum costs, HVAC design for your home or office is important.

Split air conditioners are used for small rooms and halls, usually in places where window air conditioners cannot be installed. However, these days many people prefer split air conditioner units even for places where window air conditioners can be fitted.

In throttling devices the pressure of the refrigerant drops down suddenly and due to this its temperature also reduces drastically. This article describes various types of throttling devices being used for refrigerator and air-conditioning systems.

Manufacturing of different products is a very interesting and equally challenging subject and one certainly needs to know the basics of different types of prominent manufacturing processes which are in use in the industry today. This article tells you about the main types manufacturing processes.

The refrigerating compressor is considered to be the heart of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. The compressor compresses the refrigerant and consumes most of the power of refrigerating and air-conditioning units.

In condensers the refrigerant gives up the heat that is has absorbed in the evaporator. There are three main types of condensers: air cooled condensers, water cooled condensers and evaporative condensers.

This article describes the arrangement of compressors in the package air conditioners with multiple compressors. It also describes the capacity control system in these units.
