"Automatic Power Factor Correction (PFC) is a technology used in electrical systems to improve the power factor of the system. The power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used in a system, particularly in alternating current (AC)...

"An automatic air admittance valve (AAV) serves a crucial purpose in plumbing systems. Its primary function is to allow air to enter the drainage system, equalizing pressure and preventing negative pressure buildup within the plumbing pipes. Here's how it works:...

"HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) attenuators, also known as silencers or sound attenuators, are designed to reduce the noise produced by air handling systems, particularly in ductwork. They work by absorbing and dissipating sound energy, which helps...

"An armoured cable, also known as an armoured electrical cable or armoured wire, is a type of cable that has an extra layer of protection to safeguard it from external factors such as physical damage, moisture, chemicals, and other environmental hazards. This...

"Anti-vibration and spring hangers are mechanical devices used to isolate and reduce the transmission of vibrations and noise in various engineering applications. They are commonly used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, industrial...

"An analogue addressable control panel, also known as an addressable fire alarm control panel, is a type of fire alarm system that provides more advanced and precise monitoring and control capabilities compared to conventional fire alarm systems. It is commonly used...

"Amp ratings refer to the current-carrying capacity of an electrical component, device, or circuit, measured in amperes (amps). Amperes are a unit of electric current, representing the rate of flow of electric charge through a conductor. Amp ratings are crucial for...

"Air vents in pipework, also known as air release valves or air relief valves, are components used to manage the presence of air or gas within fluid-carrying pipelines. These vents are particularly important in systems that handle liquids, such as water, because air...

"Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are energy-efficient heating and cooling systems that utilize the outside air as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer. They work on the principle of transferring heat from one location to another, similar to how a...
