FAQ
Q1: Why are HVAC systems critical in airports?
Airports are large spaces with high occupancy. HVAC systems ensure passenger comfort, air quality, and safe airflow in normal and emergency conditions.
Q2: What types of YAOAN solutions are used in airports?
Air handling units, fans, diffusers, fire dampers, smoke-control systems, and intelligent sensors for automated airflow management.
Q3: How do YAOAN systems handle fire and smoke?
Fire dampers isolate ducts during a fire, while smoke extraction fans remove smoke from critical areas, ensuring safe evacuation.
Q4: Can YAOAN systems improve energy efficiency?
Yes. Variable speed drives, heat recovery, and smart occupancy-based control reduce energy consumption while maintaining comfort.
