Air control products

Air Control Products is the trusted leader in the commercial HVAC industry. Simply put, Air Control Products is here to help you build better buildings.

1. Dampers:

a. Volume Control Dampers (VCDs):

• Used to regulate the amount of air passing through a duct.
• Can be manually operated or motorized.
• Essential for balancing airflow in different zones.

b. Fire Dampers:

• Installed in ducts and designed to close automatically in the event of a fire.
• Prevent the spread of fire and smoke through the HVAC system.

c. Smoke Dampers:

• Specifically designed to prevent the spread of smoke.
• Often activated by smoke detectors.

d. Combination Fire/Smoke Dampers:

• Perform the functions of both fire and smoke dampers.
• Used where both fire and smoke control are required.

e. Backdraft Dampers:

• Prevent reverse airflow in the system.
• Typically installed in exhaust ducts.

2. Louvers:

• Provide ventilation while keeping out unwanted elements like rain, debris, and insects.
• Can be fixed or adjustable.
• Used in exterior walls or as part of an HVAC system.

3. Actuators:

• Devices that control the movement of dampers, valves, and other HVAC components.
• Can be pneumatic, electric, or mechanical.
• Essential for automated HVAC systems.

4. Air Valves:

a. Constant Air Volume (CAV) Valves:

• Maintain a constant air volume flow.
• Suitable for applications where constant airflow is necessary.

b. Variable Air Volume (VAV) Valves:

• Adjust airflow based on demand.
• Improve energy efficiency by reducing airflow when full capacity is not needed.

5. Control Valves:

• Regulate the flow of fluids (air, water, steam) in HVAC systems.
• Include two-way and three-way valves.
• Controlled by actuators.

6. Air Flow Measurement Devices:

• Measure the amount of air flowing through a duct.
• Include pitot tubes, anemometers, and airflow stations.
• Important for system balancing and efficiency.

7. Thermostats and Sensors:

• Monitor and control temperature, humidity, and air quality.
• Include room thermostats, duct sensors, and outdoor sensors.
• Provide feedback for automated control systems.

8. Airflow Control Devices:

• Include bypass dampers and pressure controllers.
• Manage system pressure and ensure consistent airflow.

9. Terminal Units:

a. Fan-Powered Terminal Units:

• Include a small fan to boost airflow.
• Used in systems where additional air movement is needed.

b. Induction Units:

• Use high-velocity primary air to induce room air through a heat exchanger.

10. Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers:

• Control moisture levels in the air.
• Essential for maintaining indoor air quality and comfort.

11. Air Cleaners and Purifiers:

• Remove contaminants from the air.
• Include electrostatic precipitators, UV germicidal lights, and HEPA filters.

12. Control Systems:

• Integrated systems that manage the operation of all HVAC components.
• Include Building Management Systems (BMS) and Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems.
• Provide centralized control and monitoring.

Importance of Air Control Products:

• Comfort: Maintain consistent temperature, humidity, and air quality.
• Safety: Prevent the spread of fire and smoke, and manage ventilation to remove harmful contaminants.
• Energy Efficiency: Optimize system performance to reduce energy consumption.
• Air Quality: Ensure clean and healthy air by controlling contaminants and maintaining proper ventilation.

These products are integral to the design and operation of HVAC systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They help achieve optimal indoor environments, ensuring both comfort and safety while promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.
