Ilmateenistus

Ilmateenistus, also known as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), refers to the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. It is a major sub-system of mechanical engineering. HVAC systems are used to control the temperature, humidity, and air quality within a building or vehicle. They are essential for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.

HVAC systems typically consist of three main components: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Heating systems use various methods such as furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps to warm the air. Ventilation systems are responsible for the exchange of indoor and outdoor air, ensuring proper air circulation and removing pollutants. Air conditioning systems cool the air using refrigeration cycles, evaporative cooling, or desiccant cooling.

The design and operation of HVAC systems depend on several factors, including the size and type of the building, the climate, and the specific needs of the occupants. Proper HVAC system design and maintenance are crucial for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and overall comfort.

HVAC systems are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as in vehicles. They play a significant role in creating a comfortable and healthy indoor environment, contributing to the well-being of occupants and the efficient operation of buildings and vehicles.
