  2. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    A thermostat, when set to "cool", will only turn on when the ambient temperature of the surrounding room is above the set temperature. Thus, if the controlled space has a temperature normally above the desired setting when the heating/cooling system is off, it would be wise to keep the thermostat set to "cool", despite what the temperature is ...

  3. Freeze stat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_stat

    Freeze stat. Air coil freeze stat. A freeze stat is a temperature sensing device for HVAC that monitors a heat exchanger to prevent its coils from freezing. Freeze stats can be used on both refrigerant -to- air, and refrigerant -to- liquid type heat exchangers and serve different purposes with similar goals for each.

  4. Programmable thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_thermostat

    Honeywell electronic thermostat in a store. Heating and cooling losses from a building (or any other container) become greater as the difference in temperature increases. A programmable thermostat allows reduction of these losses by allowing the temperature difference to be reduced at times when the reduced amount of heating or cooling would not be objectionable.

  5. Forced-air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

    Forced-air. A forced-air system includes registers located in individual rooms through which heated air is discharged. A forced-air central heating system is one which uses air as its heat transfer medium. These systems rely on ductwork, vents, and plenums as means of air distribution, separate from the actual heating and air conditioning systems.

  6. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    Electric heating. This radiant heater uses tungsten halogen lamps. Electric heating is a process in which electrical energy is converted directly to heat energy. Common applications include space heating, cooking, water heating and industrial processes. An electric heater is an electrical device that converts an electric current into heat. [1]

  7. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    Damper (flow) Opposed blade dampers in a mixing duct. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct, chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to regulate it for room-by-room temperature ...
