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.

    Using heater when not in Ready mode?

    Howdy all. I've just recently had the pleasure of getting a new ZS EV LR, and still working a few things out. Something I've encountered last night, is that I want to run the heater while parked at night without the headlights being on. Plenty of situations for this - waiting for someone, etc...

    It's freezing and the heater wouldn't work

    An early winter blast hit my area of Queensland yesterday, sub arctic conditions, rain wind more rain. the thermometer for outside was down to about 20 degrees so it was cold. Hopped in the car and the glass was a bit foggy and it was a touch chilly so bumped up the temp to 25 and waited and...
