    Complete Heat Gain Analysis of Motor / Pump

    or even to a flow and temperature rise measurement across the pumps to get the heat into the water. The way we build has a far greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ, than any HVAC system we install

    Complete Heat Gain Analysis of Motor / Pump

    Power needed to move the water in horsepower GPM x ht of head x specific gravity / ( 3960 x impeller efficiency) Probably if you could measure the power draw into the pumps, you could break out the heat into the water with that estimation and the reminder of the heat goes to the air. The way...

    Cooling large Machine Shop in KSA

    East sounds like adjacent to the Persian gulf, about the most humid place in the world. I would work out the required ventialtion rate and come up with an outside air unit to cool air down to 55 and blow it into the space. If you are seriously considering cooling the whole place down you have...

    Dehumidification with cooling coils only

    I use chilled water air handlers with a built in DX dehumidifacation and condenser coil for reheat from time to time. Night clubs, surgical suites The way we build has a far greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ, than any HVAC system we install

    Dehumidification with cooling coils only

    To control temperature in a space, you have to supply air to the space cooler than what you want to maintain the room at. Likewsie to control humidity in a space, you have to supply air to the space with a dew point lower than the dew point that you wish to maintain in the space. The way we...

    Dehumidification with cooling coils only

    work out the dewpoint needed in that room where you want the 40% RH. An example at sea level then could be maintaining 75F @ 40% RH. This is a dew point of 49F. The air off of the cooling coil will need a dew point lower than 49 by the amount that the internal latent load calls for. Perhaps...

    Expanded Sheetmetal Resistance to Airflow

    I would carry the velocity head of the free area through the openings as the pressure drop and call it a day. The way we build has a far greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ, than any HVAC system we install

    Dehumidification with cooling coils only

    if it is a clean room you have a high volume of air probably 20 air changes an hour for filtration purposes. This volume of air is probably a lot more than you would normally need for space cooling. You have to have the supply air with a lower dew point than what you need to maintain in the...

    how do I recognize that the coil had been e-coated?

    electrofin? problem was a lack of longevity when applied primarily to any carrier product The way we build has a far greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ, than any HVAC system we install

    how do I recognize that the coil had been e-coated?

    I cannot say I have been impressed with the electro-fin performance The way we build has a far greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ, than any HVAC system we install

    Make-up Air For Fume Hood

    get an inline fan, a good filter and an electric duct heater for the winter. An SCR controller on the duct heater will be a simple way to get the air tempered up to whatever temperature you want. The way we build has a far greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ, than any...

    how do I recognize that the coil had been e-coated?

    First of all, I have zero confidence in any field applied coating, may give you a year longer life than no coating at all. Factory applied coatings are much better. It is going to depend on the type of coating being used. "e-coat" sounds like carrier lingo and a few years back they were...

    Blower Motor Heat (net effect on cooling capacity)

    On commercial equipment, 2 degrees of reheat from the fan is not uncommon on a draw through application.I have measured over three degrees ocurring also. So when a coil is cooling air by 20 degrees, 2 to 3 degrees of fan reheat robs you of 10% to 15% of your sensible cooling on a draw through...
