Vents (intake, exhaust, transfer)
Vents (intake, exhaust, transfer) Vents are crucial components in HVAC systems, responsible for: 1.Air intake: Drawing in outside air for ventilation and cooling. 2.Exhaust: Removing stale air, moisture, and contaminants from the building. 3.Transfer: Transferring air between spaces or zones. Types of vents: 1.Intake vents: Bring in outside air for ventilation and cooling. 2.Exhaust vents: Remove air from the building, often used in bathrooms and kitchens. 3.Transfer vents: Connect different zones or spaces, allowing air to circulate. 4.Return vents: Draw air back into the HVAC system for re-conditioning. Key characteristics: 1.Size and shape: Varying sizes and shapes to fit different applications. 2.Material: Typically made of metal, plastic, or fiberglass. 3.Dampers: Adjustable louvers or valves to control airflow. 4.Filters: Some vents include filters to clean the air.
