AIR VOLUME CONTROLLERS MARKET ANALYSIS

Air volume controllers are the devices installed in ventilation ducts. These devices are used for the purpose of indoor climate processing, air flow adjustment, and shut-off. Air volume controllers are of two types, constant air volume controller (CAV) and variable air volume controller (VAV). The variable air volume controller supplies variable air flow at constant temperature, and constant air volume controllers supply constant air flow at variable temperatures. Variable air volume controllers have more advantages than constant air volume controllers such as less fan noise, precise temperature control, reduced compressor wear, lower energy consumption by system fans and increased dehumidification. VAV systems are one of the most modern energy efficient air systems available for comfort air conditioning.

Furthermore, air volume controllers are used in schools, offices & nurseries, shops, hotels, industries and healthcare premises. CAV controllers are of two types; single-zone and multi-zone. The load variation in single-zone applications experiences minimal change over time, therefore, CAV controllers are preferred and used in theaters, auditoriums and museums. Multi-zone CAV controllers are required for providing variable air temperatures for individual zones. These zones require duct heating, therefore, the energy efficiency is less for multi-zone CAV controllers. Moreover, VAV is recommended for multi-zone systems. Dual duct VAV controllers have separate ducts for cold and hot air. Each zone has a plenum where their airflow is mixed. Multi-zone types have VAV boxes, which control the airflow supplied to individual zones. VAV systems achieve their full potential in applications such as hotels, malls and office buildings etc. where there are multiple zones with variable loads.

High requirement from industrial buildings to save energy and reduce cost is driving demand for air volume controllers

The global air volume controllers market is projected to experience significant growth during the forecast period owing to high requirements of air volume controllers from industrial buildings to reduce cost and save energy. These air volume controllers intelligently match the energy generation requirements with distribution & usage and are used with monitoring tools, such as smart thermostats. Future and past energy consumption data can be analyzed with the help of smart thermostat devices. Such innovations are projected to spur the growth of the global air volume controllers market. However, high maintenance & installation costs and unavailability of spare parts are some of the factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the global air volume controllers market during forecast period.
