What is a System By-Pass?
System by-pass can be accomplished either in the plant room close to the pump or remote from the plant room at the end of line. Either way, a system by-pass will include a
Heat Exchangers
What is a Heat Exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers thermal energy or heat from one fluid (primary side) to another fluid (secondary side) without direct contact
What is a Stand-Alone Unit?
A stand-alone unit – or to be correct a stand-alone terminal unit – runs like a FCU but independent of a Building Management System. The stand-alone unit works together
What is a Solar Panel?
A solar water heating system, commonly known as solar panels or collectors, will use sunlight to produce hot water and has been used for years. The solar panels collect therm
What is a Radiator or Radiator System?
Radiators are one of the oldest ways of building heating. The function of a radiator system is to maintain room temperature at an acceptable level at each loc
What is a Hot Water Tank?
The hot water tank is used for storing hot water for domestic use and is one of the most widely used thermal energy storage solutions. Cold water will enter at the bottom
What is a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps move thermal energy in the opposite direction of natural heat transfer, by absorbing heat from a colder space and releasing it into a warmer one. This
What is a Heat Exchanger?
A heat exchanger is a device that transfers thermal energy or heat from one fluid (primary side) to another fluid (secondary side) without direct contact or mixing of the
What is a Fan Coil Unit?
A fan coil unit – commonly referred to as FCU – is a simple water-based coil/fan device which conditions the indoor room temperature. The handling process will flow air by
What is a Convector?
Convectors are water-borne and a direct heating form. They generate convective heat by drawing in cold air at the bottom due to under-pressure which activates a hot air circula
