The VAV reheat and dual duct system provide all the flexibilities
of the conventional reheat and dual duct systems in the sense that
a zone can be accommodated as it switches from heating to
cooling requirements and that some zones on a system can be
provided with heating at the same that the other zones need
cooling. There is some thermal bucking in both the VAV reheat
and dual-duct systems but the magnitude of heating and cooling
energy cancellation is modest because the low air flow rates at
which the thermal bucking occurs.
Advantage:
Reduced need for building space to the elimination or reduction of
central fan room and duct space requirements
The system provides all of the benefits of a central water chilling and
heating plant, while retaining the ability to positively shut off local
terminals in unused areas
Disadvantage :
Requires much more maintenance than central all-air system and work
must be done in the occupied areas
Each unit requires a condensate pan and drain system that must be
cleaned and flushed periodically.
It is difficult to clean coils, should this be required.
Filters are low in efficiency, small, and requires frequent changing
