Air conditioning is most commonly known for its use in comfort applications, such as at home or in the workplace
Its main job is to provide a constant temperature indoor regardless of the weather or temperature outside, and also is able to deal with temperature due to internal heat loads.These systems maintain temperature within a range that is comfortable to humans, hence the term 'comfort application'.
As well as being used in residential and commercial buildings, air conditioning systems are becoming more widely utilised
in the motor vehicles we drive. Some vehicles even have sophisticated 'climate control' systems which use the air conditioning
system to regulate and maintain the internal temperature.
Close control air conditioning is used when it's vital to maintain temperature because of the processes that are carried out
Although temperature is generally within comfort range, it is the process which determines how the temperature is maintained rather than human preference that is the important factor.Hospitals, pharmaceutical and testing laboratories, aircraft, data centres and server rooms, agricultural buildings, archive rooms, and food processing companies are all examples of where close control air conditioning systems may be used.
Hospital Operating Theatres Open heart surgery must be performed in an operating theatre where temperature is maintained at 18°C.
Server Rooms & Data Centres With vast amounts of heat being output by so many computers, adequate cooling is vital for this application.
