As residents of a country in a tropical climate, we all have to get used to the sun and heat. A wonderfully warm climate is one of the things that most people love about Singapore. But sometimes, heat can turn downright unbearable. For those sizzling hot days for when the sun gets way too hot, we have many wonderful marvels that allow us to cool off. The biggest one? Air conditioning. It helps cool many indoor spaces for our comfort. Let’s take a closer look at what they are.
Air conditioning and HVAC
Air conditioning and mechanical ventilation, or ACMV for short, fall under Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems. This encompasses all technology related to or concerning the regulation of air temperature and air quality. Most of these technologies have different uses, but their end goal is the same: to help keep us in comfortable conditions.
HVAC systems can be found anywhere between small suburban homes to the largest of buildings. These systems exchange fresh air from outdoors with indoor spaces. In sunny Singapore, they are most often used in air cooling systems.
How do HVAC systems work?
HVAC systems are immensely complicated and intricate structures. In more temperate regions, the heating part refers to a boiler or furnace, the ventilation to vents and exhausts, and air conditioning to, well, aircons. All three work tirelessly to keep spaces comfortable. If a part of the structure breaks or malfunctions, you will know almost immediately.
The HVAC pump
One of the things you have to keep a careful eye on is your system’s centrifugal pump. They can be considered the heart of many HVAC systems. Boilers, aircons, cooling towers, and a lot of other structures are supported by these pumps. Even with new and better technologies being released each year, it has continued to remain a staple part of many HVAC systems. Regular maintenance is needed on it. Don’t be complacent-- any problems on it may severely damage your entire system.
