HVAC Systems
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems - design and dimensions
• Air Conditioning
Air Conditioning systems - heating, cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort
• Heating
Heating systems - capacity and design of boilers, pipelines, heat exchangers, expansion systems and more
