HVAC Relay Market Size, Share And Global Trend By Type(Electromagnetic Relay, Solid State Relay, Thermal Relay, Hybrid Relay), By Application(Automotive, Industrial, Commercial, Residential), And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Relays are the devices which are able to control one electrical circuit by opening or closing contacts in other electrical circuits. High voltage and currents can be controlled by applying a small voltage to the relay coil present in the relay system. HVAC relays are primarily used in HVAC control systems to regulate and control the operation of heating and air conditioning systems. Relays control heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning equipment such as compressor, fan, blower, and condenser by turning them on/off during operation. Some of the key features of relays gaining importance are high momentary current bearing capacity and reliable circuit breaking.

Companies have also started adding new features to the relays produced by them, for e.g. Schneider Electric launched a new product named the Easergy P3 relay which is equipped with smart capabilities. The company claims that the relay system trips circuit breakers immediately in case of fault detection to protect equipment from severe damage. The product comes with a web-based application which allows users to conduct virtual simulation tests and simplify maintenance. Such developments are expected to drive the HVAC relay market growth.
