Actuators are essential components of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. They help control and regulate air flow, temperature, and pressure, playing a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency and functionality of the HVAC system. In this article, we will explore the role of actuators in HVAC systems, the different types available, and how they contribute to the overall performance of these systems in business environments.
An actuator is a mechanical device that converts energy (typically electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic) into motion. In an HVAC system, the actuator is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of valves, dampers, or other control devices that regulate airflow, temperature, and pressure within the system.
Actuators typically receive signals from a thermostat or control panel and then adjust the system components
