all water systems

water is used as working fluid that transports thermal energy between conditioned space and A/C plant. Chilled water is circulated for cooling while Hot water is circulated through coils for space heating. As only water is supplied by HVAC plant to the space, Fresh air has to be supplied by another unit to maintain Indoor

All Air Systems

Air is used as the media in an all air system. Air transports thermal energy from the conditioned space to the HVAC plant. As shown in Figure , In these systems air is processed in the A/C plant namely AHU (Air Handling Unit). AHU consists of Dampers, Mixing chambers, Filters, Cooling/ Heating coils, Humidifiers, Fans/
