An HVAC system is one of the most valuable components of any modern home. You can use it in any season—heating in winter or cooling for summer—and other units even come with an air purifier installed. How, you may ask? The answer may lie in the ductwork.
Lone Star Comfortaire, your local air conditioning repair service company, walks you through an HVAC system cooling and heating process.
The Components
There are several major parts in an HVAC ductwork. These components include the pipes, duct transitions, plenum, flues, refrigerant lines, and the air handler.
Some of these parts are delicate and must be handled by expert HVAC contractors. Because of their complex structure, the maintenance of an HVAC system should always be left to the professionals.
The Process
The piping, which carries air throughout the house, is made of flexible aluminum. This allows the pipes to expand or contract as the temperature changes. Meanwhile, duct transitions create paths for air to flow throughout your interior.
Next, there are usually two plenums in an HVAC system called the supply plenum and the return plenum. They each look like a large box for air storage connected to various ducts. They are responsible for delivering and receiving airflow through the ducts.
The flues are the ones that remove noxious gases before pushing them outside the vents. The refrigerant lines make your air cool or warm.
Lastly, the air handler is where the blower fan and filter are located. They also function as a regulator for the coils inside the HVAC system by cooling and heating them.
