Overhead Heating: Revisiting a Lost Art PDF

VAV terminals provide a measured quantity of conditioned air to a space, in response to a control signal from a thermostat or room sensor. This air may be tempered with a reheat coil, plenum air, or both. The means and selection of parameters for this reheat leads to much of the complexity and questions in selecting and specifying VAV terminals. To avoid problems, selecting the reheat design parameters requires an understanding of the limitations of the reheat coil (hot water or electric) and the means of air distribution.
