Fire protection in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems is a crucial aspect of building safety, ensuring that these systems do not contribute to the spread of fire and smoke. With the integration of advanced materials and technologies, the modern approach to HVAC fire safety has evolved to meet stringent regulations and protect occupants in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Behind these scenes of optimal comfort lies a well-designed HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. In hotels and offices, where occupant satisfaction is paramount, a well-functioning HVAC system isn't a luxury - it's a necessity

In the realm of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), ensuring the comfort and safety of indoor environments is paramount. An essential component that plays a pivotal role in the HVAC systems' effectiveness is the Volume Control Damper (VCD). These devices are integral to managing and regulating airflow within duct systems, ensuring that air distribution is both efficient and precisely controlled.

Textile ducts or textile air-diffusers are technical products used for diffusing or transporting treated air from one point to another, as per exact criteria. Diffusion of air by textile ducts gives perfect air diffusion and increases human comfort by keeping airspeeds and temperatures under control.

The OP100 plenum box is suitable for connection of rectangular wall grilles. Unlike the ceiling plenum DP100, the OP100 has no protruding clinched ribs. Instead, the sides are folded over to keep it as compact as possible.

REC DUO is an innovative high efficiency decentralized Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) with heat recovery up to 90%. A perfect choice for residential applications that provides constant thermal comfort for any room type.

A good supporting system is important for a professional installed ventilation system. Rectangular duct work is mostly installed with mounting rails, sliding nuts, corner profiles and threaded rods. Circular ducts are supported with insulated suspension rings or brackets with threaded rods or perforated suspension straps. Airco units are supported by wall brackets when mounted on the wall or a modular ground support structure of independent feet and Sendzimir galvanized steel struts

40 years of experience in the HVAC market (DEC, ATC, SIG) and I still feel too young to stop. It is my pleasure to support Goveco in further development in products and markets. Working with my two sons, Steven and Wim, will be a nice experience.

Diffusers are in most cases the preferred choice for ceiling applications. Depending on the configuration of its deflectors, diffusers can produce radial, directional horizontal or even perpendicular air patterns. There are numerous typed of diffusers available in the market.

Despite the growing popularity of demand based ventilation systems, which utilizes sensors to determine the ventilation needs, manual ventilation systems are still considered popular. At the design stage of a ventilation system, an important decision is the choice between a simpler manual control via potentiometers or a fully automated control system with sensors that often make manual setting very difficult.

VAV systems are considered more complex systems but when implemented correctly offer a more cost-effective solution when compared to CAV systems. The proper functioning of a VAV system depends on the performance of the VAV dampers.

In most cases, a ventilation system is requested to operate in varying conditions. As a result, fans that operate at a constant speed are often over-performing which results in energy loses. Variable frequency inverters are devices, often found in commercial facilities, that are used to control the rotational speed of fan’s motors. Besides fan speed control, VFD are also being used in air conditioning compressors and for the control of water pumps.

The removal of air contaminants, for example airborne particles, microorganisms and gaseous contaminants, plays a crucial role in achieving the desired indoor air quality level. The most common type of contaminant is airborne particle which, in most cases, can be effectively eliminated with the use of filters.

The different branches of ventilation or air-conditioning ducting networks can be subject to variations of airflows and pressure. As a result, it is necessary to balance the different branches in order to achieve the desired air supply or extraction. The balancing process can become increasingly difficult as the number of branches and number of diffusers increases. Constant flow regulators can offer a simple and reliable way of resolving such problems and can provide precise regulation that ensures hygiene and thermal comfort for the occupants while optimizing the performance of fans and of the HVAC system as a whole.

To our Goveco friends, suppliers, colleagues, followers, family, … We would like to thank all of you for supporting us all these years We would like to thank all of you for the energy you give us We would like to thank all of you for the orders you’ve placed with us 😉

They are devices that use electrical energy in order to drive an impeller which rotates causing air to move in a certain direction. Depending on the ventilation needs of the conditioned spaces and the overall geometry of the spaces, the inlet and/or outlet of a fan can be connected to air ducts in order to supply or extract air to/from spaces located away from the fans.

Thanks AHR Expo for the great show, we received very interesting leads. Also a thank you to the visitors for taking the time and showing interest in our wide range of products. Next year we will be attending again but this time in Atlanta. Hopefully we'll see you there?

The ventilation strategy of cleanrooms must take into consideration numerous factors that may affect the smooth operation of the serviced area. Besides controlling the temperature and the humidity of a space, cleanroom ventilation systems should strictly regulate the concentration of various air contaminants for example solid particle or gaseous contaminants. Ideally, a properly designed cleanroom ventilation system should ensure that the strict air quality criteria of the conditioned space are satisfied at the minimum possible energy consumption and operating cost.

The main aim of a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is to achieve and maintain the desired indoor environment condition at the minimum possible energy consumption. For big centralized systems, it is of great importance that the proper design strategy is selected. The two main air system types found in centralized HVAC systems are Constant Air Volume (CAV) and Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems. This article aims to present the main features of the two types of systems, their advantages and disadvantages and what is the selection process between the two at the design stage of an HVAC system.

Air outlets, like grilles and diffusers, play a very important role in the smooth and efficient operation of an air distribution system. Selecting the right product for can be a complex process, as the selected products many times have to meet both specific aerodynamic and aesthetic criteria. For this reason, the market offers a wide variety of products that are able to satisfy most of the needs of today’s HVAC system designs.

Fire dampers are specialized fittings placed on the ducting in a building. Their primary job is to shut off the duct in case of a fire and prevent a fire from passing from one section of a building to another. Where there are ventilation ducts passing through a wall or floor, there will be openings where smoke and fire can pass from one room into another. Correctly placed fire dampers can stop the smoke, fire and heat from getting through from one room to another.

Air curtains are devices that utilize high speed fans to form an air barrier in the doorways of commercial buildings.

The importance of HVAC control systems in achieving the desired indoor conditions at the minimum possible energy consumption cannot be overstated. As buildings are still one of the major energy consuming sectors worldwide, the emphasis on the development of energy saving control solutions by the industry and the academia is becoming stronger.

All Rf-t products are safe and hygienic by design, independent from the area of application.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, numerous questions have been asked across different fields, primarily focusing on how the virus spreads. When experts determined that the virus was airborne, it had naturally drawn the attention on how air circulates around us.
