Introduction
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.
HVAC refers to the different systems used for moving air between indoor and outdoor areas, along with heating and cooling both residential and commercial buildings. They are the systems that keep us warm and comfortable in the winter and feeling cool and fresh in summer. They also are the systems that filter and clean indoor air to keep you healthy and maintain humidity at optimal comfort levels.
The purpose of an HVAC system is more than just warming or cooling a space. Instead, it serves to improve indoor air quality and provide comfort for everyone inside a building.
HVAC systems must incorporate Expansion Joints for several important reasons.
When temperature changes occur, all pipes and vessels expand and contract and whenever pipes are routed across structural movement joints in buildings, roads, bridges etc., they will be subjected to displacements. Expansion Joints compensate for the movements of the pipework.
Expansion Joints reduce vibrations generated by pumps, motors, etc. existing at HVAC systems and they reduce noise. When you reduce vibration, noise is reduced. Noise reduction is especially important in complex HVAC systems.
