heater

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. "Refrigeration" is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or "ventilation" is dropped, as in HACR (as in the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers).
HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and senior living facilities; medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals; vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, ships and submarines; and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors.
Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air. Methods for ventilating a building are divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.

    A/C how to Q? [ Question ]

    If I turn on the heater/ A/C I get the full screen showing all the options which is good. However it just stays there, if I want to go back I have to press the Home button and then find the apple car play button if I am using my work sat nav (which I often do). My question is this- is there a...

    Ease of use of heater controls (edited)

    Do others find the heater controls too small when there is a lovely picture of the dash taking up the whole screen. There appears to be loads of room available for bigger icons or is it just that I have banana fingers that I find it difficult to access the icons!

    Temperature from heater fluctuates

    Hi all, This winter my wife and I have both noted that the temperature from the heater in our car is fluctuating from very warm to suddenly cold, and then back to very warm. This is happening when we have not touched the heating controls (temp or fan). My car is a '21 plate MG5 SR In...

    Cabin heater issues

    Hi members. Has anyone been experiencing issues with the heater in their MG ZS Long range? The heater works initially heating the cabin but then it reduces the temperature of the air coming out of the vents. It then doesn't come back on until the car temperature has dropped around 5 degrees from...

    Preheating battery (without battery heater) to avoid very cold temps low mi/kWh

    A very non-scientific experiment..... I’ve asked on a few forums about the benefit of pre-heating the car on very cold days to try and avoid the initial cold running mi/kWh effect and the general consensus was it wasn't worth it. Well after a particularly poor run when I got 6 miles for...

    LFP: Battery heater engaged at 97% on granny charger in subzero temperatures

    Second time charging my SE SR (LFP battery) to above 97% today on a granny charger outside at -2C°. The battery heater engaged automatically and drawing around 1.5 to 1.7 kW every few seconds. Charging to 100% will take a lot longer than I hoped. This is the same behaviour as if I had started...

    Heater thoughts

    My first winter with the PHEV and I thought I was going to be warm but stuck in hybrid mode most of the time, or no heating and wearing arctic clothing to allow EV mode to select. The reality has been much better, sure you need heating primarily to keep the windows clear. But the engine gets up...

    Cabin heater hunting the target temperature

    I'm not complaining about the offset of the temperature reading, it is inconvenient, but that's it, or the range drop with the AC on, that's pretty much already covered in other threads. However during a recent trip (the first long one with the MG4), I have noticed the heater is not quite as...

    Using heater when not in Ready mode?

    Howdy all. I've just recently had the pleasure of getting a new ZS EV LR, and still working a few things out. Something I've encountered last night, is that I want to run the heater while parked at night without the headlights being on. Plenty of situations for this - waiting for someone, etc...

    It's freezing and the heater wouldn't work

    An early winter blast hit my area of Queensland yesterday, sub arctic conditions, rain wind more rain. the thermometer for outside was down to about 20 degrees so it was cold. Hopped in the car and the glass was a bit foggy and it was a touch chilly so bumped up the temp to 25 and waited and...
