Frequently asked

Glossary

1

HVAC

Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning: the umbrella term for the building-services equipment that defines the exhibit scope at CoolVent Expo in Minsk. Use it as the first filter when scanning the exhibitor list for ventilation, cooling and heat-supply suppliers.

2

AHU (air handling unit)

A factory-assembled casing with fans, filters, heating/cooling coils and dampers that conditions and distributes air through a building. At the Minsk show, AHU makers are typically the exhibitors to compare on casing quality, coil access and serviceability for Belarusian winter conditions.

3

Heat recovery / recuperator

A module that pulls heat out of warm exhaust air to pre-warm incoming fresh air. Relevant in Belarus because mechanical ventilation has to work through long, cold heating seasons without driving up energy bills, so recovery efficiency is a common question on ventilation stands.

4

VRF / VRV system

Variable refrigerant flow multi-split air-conditioning: one outdoor unit serving many indoor units with individual control. Buyers comparing VRF at the Minsk fair usually ask about low-ambient heating performance and spare-part availability through local distributors.

5

Chiller

A refrigeration machine that produces chilled water for large air-conditioning or process-cooling loops. Chiller rows at the show sit at the crossover between building HVAC and industrial refrigeration, so both facility managers and food-processing engineers walk the same halls.

6

Heat pump

A device that moves heat from air, ground or water into a building (and can usually reverse for cooling). In the Belarusian market heat pumps are discussed mainly as a way to cut reliance on gas and district heating, which makes this one of the most commercially active categories at CoolVent Expo.

7

Low-GWP refrigerant

A working fluid with low global warming potential, such as R32, R290 or CO2 (R744). Export-oriented Belarusian equipment makers and their EU-facing partners track these because refrigerant choice affects both compliance and the service training that installers need.

8

Commercial refrigeration / cold chain

Refrigerated display cases, condensing units, cold rooms and blast chillers serving retail, catering and food processing. This is the refrigeration half of the show's name and the reason food-retail and logistics buyers attend alongside HVAC contractors.

9

BMS and controls

Building management systems, sensors, thermostats, actuators and control valves that tie HVAC plant together. Controls exhibitors are where visitors look for automation, remote monitoring and the integration work needed to make new equipment talk to existing Minsk building systems.

10

Ductwork and air distribution

Galvanised or insulated ducting, grilles, diffusers, dampers and flexible connectors that carry conditioned air to rooms. Fabricators and installers visit this category for sheet-metal machinery, insulation materials and fire-damper compliance questions.

11

DHW / district heating substation

Domestic hot water and heat-exchanger substations that connect a building to a centralised heat network. Minsk runs on large district-heating systems, so substation, pump and control-valve suppliers are a distinctive part of this fair compared with Western European HVAC shows.
