APR Control Advantages Over Hot Gas Bypass
When it was introduced to the HVAC industry 30 years ago, the closest comparable reference to the APR Control has been that it is similar to hot gas bypass. However, the APR Control is NOT hot gas bypass! Learn more about the advantages of the APR Control and how it is energy code compliant throughout the HVAC industry.
The Rawal APR Control is a variable capacity enhancement to DX HVAC systems.
The dynamic nature of plant growth cycles and cultivation phases demands air conditioning units that can adapt to changing environmental requirements. HVAC for grow rooms play a critical role in maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions to support healthy plant development and maximize crop yield.
Industrial manufacturing facilities experience fluctuating occupant loads, demanding robust and adaptable HVAC systems.
The dynamic nature of production processes and workforce activities necessitates air conditioning units capable of adjusting to changing operational demands.
Any commercial retail or office space faces the same challenge – too hot/too cold and too humid being the top complaints. These problems are often driven by varying occupancy across commercial office spaces with some companies on a regular 5-day in the office schedule while others are on a varied schedule.
The controlled environments within these facilities demand meticulous temperature, humidity, and air quality management. Fluctuating activities, such as experiments or surgeries, necessitate adaptable air conditioning units to maintain optimal conditions.
Restaurants and diners contend with fluctuating occupant loads, demanding adaptable air conditioning (AC) and heat pump (HP) systems. The ebb and flow of customers throughout the day necessitates HVAC units capable of adjusting to changing occupancy levels.
The dynamic nature of healthcare institutions, with varying patient admissions and discharges, requires air conditioning units to constantly adapt to changing occupancy levels. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and healthy environment for patients, staff, and visitors.
Schools face challenges with systems serving classrooms, providing fresh air for a lot of people in a small space.
This often leads to high humidity and equipment failure.
