    Small OA precooling unit

    Thanks williamsGA.

    Small OA precooling unit

    I'm in central Florida where humidity is high most of the time. I'm looking for a small 100% OA DX package unit that will provide dehumidified outside air to a small lab without having to use reheat on the main HVAC unit.

    Small OA precooling unit

    If you damper it down, hot gas bypass will increase to provide a false load on the compressor, thus wasting energy. Using a 700 CFM unit in a 600 CFM application wouldn't be too bad, but for a 300 CFM application it would be wasting a lot of energy.

    underfloor heating under an existing slab

    Here's another supplier: http://www.warmtiles.com/aboutwarmtiles.html

    Small OA precooling unit

    I'm looking for a manufacturer of a small outside air DX precooling unit in the 300 CFM to 600 CFM size range. I haven't been able to find anything smaller than 700 CFM. Any suggestions?

    Flexible duct

    Thanks Chris, ABC says they can make it - I'm waiting for a quote now! Nice study EmeraldCoastHVACR, that one goes in my references folder.

    Flexible duct

    No, it's an existing duct arrangement used in four different places so it would be a big deal to modify them all - even if I could get the funding approved. The existing 42" flex ducts are almost 30 years old and I can't find any record of who the original suppier was. I found that...

    Flexible duct

    I've unsuccessfully searched the internet several hours for a supplier of a heavy-duty, 42" diameter, spiral-wire-reinforced, flexible duct for conveying clean ambient air at 5" WC. Does anyone know where I might find such an animal?

    piping fluids

    My company's priorities are safety, schedule, & cost - in that order.

    piping fluids

    Yes, I was planning to take some pressure readings after STS-120 launches. I'm trying to locate a fast-acting pressure gauge that will retain the peak reading.

    Thanks. I also found a good reference on waterhammer causes and prevention at: www.pdionline.org/PDI-wh%20201-2006.pdf

    piping fluids

    Sounds like installing the gear operator on the butterfly valve would be a good investment. It makes sense that the slammed valve would be the starting point for the shockwave which would be unaffected by an upstream regulator. Thanks!

    Relief valve is set for 150 psi.

    piping fluids

    I have a pressure regulator set for 140 psi supplying water to a heat exchanger with a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi. If someone rapidly closes a butterfly valve downstream of the heat exchanger, will the heat exchanger see a pressure spike in excess of 140 psi? If so, I can prevent it by...
