heater

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. "Refrigeration" is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or "ventilation" is dropped, as in HACR (as in the designation of HACR-rated circuit breakers).
HVAC is an important part of residential structures such as single family homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and senior living facilities; medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and hospitals; vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, ships and submarines; and in marine environments, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors.
Ventilating or ventilation (the "V" in HVAC) is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air. Methods for ventilating a building are divided into mechanical/forced and natural types.

    Heater Slow to Start

    This didn't happen originally, but I'm not sure when it started. But now after starting the car and driving off the heater does not start-up for several minutes. No fan, nothing. Then it starts normally with the previous settings. I can even use the demist sitting on the driveway before setting...

    Heater in the freezing weather

    Heater blowing warm heat on HI, slight improvement on recirculation mode, but the HI setting is tepid at best, seems then intermittently gives out the heat at the level it should. I was thinking it was due to really cold temp outside, (frozen element) but even after 20 minutes driving with...

    How to approach intermittent problems under warranty?

    We have a problem with the heater fan on our MG ZS EV (gen 1 with no climate control so fan speed is manually set). On some fan settings, the fan often cuts out. Info from here has helped us work out it's probably the heater control resistor. I booked it into our local MG dealer but since...

    Heater

    Just a quick question. My heater doesn’t seem to blow any hot air unless set directly to high. Is this an mg5 quirk or do I have a fault? Thanks in advance

    8 kW Solar + 11 kWh Battery + Ohme EV + Immersion Heater + Intelligent Octopus

    Thought I might share with you our setup which now is paying us up to £30 per month: The key to all of this is the differential between Octopus Intelligent Go and SEG payments from Octopus, (or any other provider). 7p inbound against 15p export with Octopus. You need to ensure that you export...

    heater problems

    i have a brand new HS PHEV. Heater doesn't really heat the car and AC doesn't cool the car. The garage have told me it needs a replacement PTC heater as they have heard of the same issue from their support team. Also had radio going dead for no reason and lane assist getting stuck on even though...

    A/C how to Q? [ Question ]

    If I turn on the heater/ A/C I get the full screen showing all the options which is good. However it just stays there, if I want to go back I have to press the Home button and then find the apple car play button if I am using my work sat nav (which I often do). My question is this- is there a...

    Ease of use of heater controls (edited)

    Do others find the heater controls too small when there is a lovely picture of the dash taking up the whole screen. There appears to be loads of room available for bigger icons or is it just that I have banana fingers that I find it difficult to access the icons!

    Temperature from heater fluctuates

    Hi all, This winter my wife and I have both noted that the temperature from the heater in our car is fluctuating from very warm to suddenly cold, and then back to very warm. This is happening when we have not touched the heating controls (temp or fan). My car is a '21 plate MG5 SR In...

    Cabin heater issues

    Hi members. Has anyone been experiencing issues with the heater in their MG ZS Long range? The heater works initially heating the cabin but then it reduces the temperature of the air coming out of the vents. It then doesn't come back on until the car temperature has dropped around 5 degrees from...

    Preheating battery (without battery heater) to avoid very cold temps low mi/kWh

    A very non-scientific experiment..... I’ve asked on a few forums about the benefit of pre-heating the car on very cold days to try and avoid the initial cold running mi/kWh effect and the general consensus was it wasn't worth it. Well after a particularly poor run when I got 6 miles for...

    LFP: Battery heater engaged at 97% on granny charger in subzero temperatures

    Second time charging my SE SR (LFP battery) to above 97% today on a granny charger outside at -2C°. The battery heater engaged automatically and drawing around 1.5 to 1.7 kW every few seconds. Charging to 100% will take a lot longer than I hoped. This is the same behaviour as if I had started...

    Heater thoughts

    My first winter with the PHEV and I thought I was going to be warm but stuck in hybrid mode most of the time, or no heating and wearing arctic clothing to allow EV mode to select. The reality has been much better, sure you need heating primarily to keep the windows clear. But the engine gets up...

    Cabin heater hunting the target temperature

    I'm not complaining about the offset of the temperature reading, it is inconvenient, but that's it, or the range drop with the AC on, that's pretty much already covered in other threads. However during a recent trip (the first long one with the MG4), I have noticed the heater is not quite as...
