Types of HVAC Equipments

The below list of fittings illustrates the tool icon along with the <schema name> <item name> used in above key in syntax, and the description of the fitting.

SplitUnit "Default" Split Unit — lit system air conditioner used for cooling and heating, The compact split unit conditions larger spaces.
RoundFPUSingleInlet "Single Inlet" Round FPU Single Inlet — Fan powered terminals are designed for commercial HVAC applications that require accurate temperature control and variable airflow to the conditioned space.

Single inlet connection is round.

BMV_CCUnit "Type01" Close Control Unit - Type1 — Uses for precise control of temperature along with humidity in Server room, Datacenter, Laboratory.
BMV_CCUnit "Type02" Close Control Unit - Type2 — Precision Air Conditioner (PAC) use for precise control of Temperature along with Humidity in Server room, Datacenter, Laboratory and various Industrial applications.
BMV_CCUnit "Type03" Close Control Unit - Type3 — Duct - Duct with flexible side connections CCU can be set to device up flow or down flow configuration.
BMV_CFCU "CFCU" Cassette type Fan Coil Unit — An FCU device incorporating heating and cooling coil that can be activated the heating and cooling effect either conventionally or through plumbing flow or electrically.
BMV_CTHWConnection "CTHWConnection" Cabinet Type with Hot Water Connection — The cabinet unit used for large capacity space heating. It houses the necessary plumbing and electrical components to operate the heating cycles automatically or manually.
BMV_FCU "FCU" Horizontal Fan Coil Unit — Device consisting of a heating or cooling coil and fan, used to control the temperature in the space where it is installed, or serve multiple spaces. The FCU added in the rectangular inline devices can have orientation horizontal or vertical and the box type be placed in the left or right.
BMV_Modular "Modular" Radiator Modular — Modular radiator arrangement having first and second rows of spaced apart radiator core modules and air directing ducts provide a compact radiator arrangement. The air directing ducts are disposed in spaces between adjacent radiator core modules of the first row and about the radiator core modules of the second row located in alignment with the spaces of the first row of radiator core modules provides cooling air flow of substantially the same temperature to each of the first and second rows of radiator core modules.

Modular type can be designated as a condensing or atmospheric mode.

RoundVAVDualInlet "Dual Inlet" Round VAV Dual Inlet — Dual duct VAV unit contains two valves providing low-pressure drop and low sound level. Hot and cold duct valves are independently controlled.

Both Inlet connections are round.

RectVAVSingleInlet "Single Inlet" Rectangular VAV Single Inlet — Variable Air Volume (VAV) terminal unit is a basic control unit with open-end discharge, incorporates one supply duct that, when in cooling mode, distributes uniform supply air.

Inlet connection is rectangular.

RoundVAVSingleInlet "Single Inlet" Round VAV Single Inlet — The zone-level flow control device of HVAC system offers low-pressure drop, low sound levels, and valve characteristics, which create stable control conditions within the conditioned space.

Inlet connection is round.
