PACKAGE REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS/HVAC, a type of PROCESS PACKAGES.
Package Refrigerating Systems/HVAC are a type of Process Packages.
Packages are self?contained systems defined by their overall function rather than by any single component. Because they interface closely with the rest of the plant, they are often co?engineered along the value chain, which lengthens lead times. In a package, no single elementsuch as a pump, compressor or valvedominates the others; all parts contribute equally to performance.
This subcategory brings together refrigeration systems and HVAC units. Refrigeration packages are included because of their extensive use in gas turbines and other large equipment in the oil and gas and power industries; although they often require replacement, they are more complex than simple spare parts and so merit their own subcategory. Heating, ventilation and air?conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential to residences, offices, vessels and industrial plants, where they regulate temperature and humidity by bringing in fresh air.
For classification purposes, the emphasis at the application level is on the fields of use of each system, while at the subcategory level the focus is on characteristics such as the type of treatment, process and filtration. To keep the taxonomy concise, only the main components of HVAC systems are listed; any remaining parts are covered under a general subcategory to ensure completeness.
