HVAC (heating , Ventilation and Air conditioning) BLOG

  For over three decades, I've walked through thousands of mechanical rooms across the globe. From pharmaceutical cleanrooms to sprawling data centers, one critical flaw repeatedly emerges, silently draining budgets and prematurely aging equipment: HVAC Short-Cycling. It's not just an inconvenience; it's a multi-thousand-dollar systemic failure that often goes misdiagnosed. Many blame "faulty equipment" or "aging infrastructure," but the root cause is frequently far more fundamental: improper sensor placement and incorrectly configured control deadbands. The Mechanics of Self-Destruction: Why Short-Cycling Kills When a compressor starts and stops too frequently (short-cycling), it subjects the entire HVAC system to immense, unnecessary stress: Lubrication Breakdown: Compressors rely on a consistent run cycle to ensure lubricating oil returns from the system lines. Short-cycling prevents this, leading to oil starvation, increased friction, and eventual b...

HVAC systems in hotels Most people don ’ t think about the H V AC system in their hotel room – but they should ! A good H V AC system is essential to a comfortable and enjoyable stay . Here ’ s a look at how hotel H V AC systems work and why they ’ re so important . The H V AC system in a hotel is responsible for heating , ventilation , and air conditioning . The system is typically central ised , meaning that it ’ s located in a central location and serves all of the rooms in the hotel . The system works by taking in air from outside and circulating it throughout the hotel . The air is first filtered to remove any contaminants . The air is then heated or cooled as needed and circulated through the hotel using a network of duct s . The temperature in each room is controlled by a ther most at . The ther most at sends a signal to the H V AC system ...
