Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology

Air-conditioning technology is an essential component of modern heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology (HVAC). HVAC covers the planning, installation and maintenance of systems that regulate the room climate to ensure optimum temperature and condition of the air. This includes not only air-conditioning and ventilation systems, but also highly developed sensor technologies such as Smart in sensing from WIKA. These technologies play a central role in the precise monitoring and control of indoor air parameters.

What is included in air-conditioning technology?

A good example of this air-handling units (AHU). These aim to improve the air quality indoors. They consist of a combination of different components that enable precise control and adjustment of the air conditions. These are:

• Ventilation: Fresh air supply and removal of stale air to ensure continuous air circulation.
• Air-conditioning: Temperature regulation by heating or cooling.
• Humidity control: Humidification and dehumidification of the room air to ensure a pleasant room climate.
• Air filtration: Cleaning particles and pollutants from the air.
• Thermal recovery: Recirculation of energy to increase efficiency.

An HVAC system is responsible for heating and cooling buildings. It also provides ventilation so that moisture can escape. Such a system can consist of any combination of the following components: 

• Boilers 
• Air-conditioning systems 
• Ducts 
• Moisture vents 

The market for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology, particularly in the area of air technology and ventilation, is currently undergoing change. This requires high versatility and quality of the individual components with regard to cooling and heating. Buildings account for around 40 % of the world’s final energy demand. Many air-conditioning and ventilation systems are set inefficiently and can account for up to 50 % of energy costs. In addition, we spend up to 90 % of our time indoors, which is why the quality of room air is becoming increasingly important. Precise measurement data creates the basis for both energy and cost-efficient control of the HVAC systems. In this context, Smart in sensing from WIKA offers advanced sensor solutions that ensure precise control and continuous monitoring. There is a focus on sustainability and energy-saving, and the industry needs experienced and reliable partners who can offer innovative solutions.
