Stale Air From Inside Basements tend to hold moisture and stale air particulates to create that signature smell. A fresh air appliance can introduce fresh air while also exporting undesirable smelly particles. Some solutions suggest simply removing air with an exhaust fan, but that would create a negative pressure that isn’t optimal for air quality in your basement. With a Fresh Air Appliance, your home can keep the good air inside while kicking the bad air to the curb.

Water is the enemy in any building, so a pool needs special attention to protect the room surrounding it. Humidity is constantly evaporating from the pool and bogs down the air in your facility with excess humidity. A commercial heat recovery ventilator (HRV) can mitigate humidity while conserving energy.

Some of these odors can be obnoxious or unhealthy to breath all day long. The filters in the AC unit are not up to snuff when it comes to dealing with these smells. A Fresh Air Appliance FIT 120E might be the perfect solution for getting rid of all the smells and excess noise that may disrupt the ambiance of your small business. Rather than recirculating these obnoxious fumes all day, fresh air is simply introduced to your space. Energy loss isn’t a pressing issue either because of the energy transfer that occurs inside of the unit.

  • Chapter 8 and 9 – Energy Balances
    CBE2124, Levicky Chapter 8 and 9 – Energy Balances Reference States . Recall that enthalpy and internal energy are always defined relative to a reference state (Chapter 7). When solving energy balance problems, it is therefore necessary to define a reference state for each chemical species in the energy balance (the reference state may be predefined if a tabulated set of data is used such as the steam tables). Example . Suppose water vapor at 300 oC and 5 bar is chosen as a reference state at which Hˆ is defined to be zero. Relative to this state, what is the specific enthalpy of liquid water at 75 oC and 1 bar? What is the specific internal energy of liquid water at 75 oC and 1 bar? (Use Table B. 7). Calculating changes in enthalpy and internal energy. Hˆ and Uˆ are state functions , meaning that their values only depend on the state of the system, and not on the path taken to arrive at that state. IMPORTANT : Given a state A (as characterized by a set of variables such as pressure, temperature, composition) and a state B, the change in enthalpy of the system as it passes from A to B can be calculated along any path that leads from A to B, whether or not the path is the one actually followed. Example . 18 g of liquid water freezes to 18 g of ice while the temperature is held constant at 0 oC and the pressure is held constant at 1 atm. The enthalpy change for the process is measured to be ∆ Hˆ = - 6.01 kJ.

Marine Science Drive Newport, Oregon 97365-5260 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ABSTRACT This report describes two initial dilution plume models, RSB and UM, and a model interface and manager, PLUMES, for preparing common model input and running the models. Two farfield algorithms are automatically initiated beyond the zone of initial dilution. In addition, PLUMES incorporates the flow classification scheme of the Cornell Mixing Zone Models (CORMIX), with recommendations for model usage, thereby providing a linkage between two existing EPA systems. The PLUMES models are intended for use with plumes discharged to marine and fresh water. Both buoyant and dense plumes, single sources and many diffuser outfall configurations may be modeled. The PLUMES software accompanies this manuscript. The program, intended for an IBM compatible PC, requires approximately 200K of memory and a color monitor. The use of the model interface is explained in detail, including a user's guide and a detailed tutorial.

  • Referencing Dilution-Based Trace Humidity Generators to Primary Humidity Standards
    REFERENCING DILUTION-BASED TRACE HUMIDITY GENERATORS TO PRIMARY HUMIDITY STANDARDS P.H. Huang, G.E. Scace, J.T. Hodges National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A. ABSTRACT We describe a technique for measuring the trace humidity level delivered by a permeation-tube type moisture generator (PTMG). Mole fractions of H2O in N2 carrier gas in the range 10 nmol/mol to 100 nmol/mol were considered. The measurements are referenced to the NIST low frost-point generator (LFPG). A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) hygrometer is used as a comparator to measure the concentration difference between the respective outputs of the PTMG and LFPG. Differences in the water vapor mole fraction of . 1 nmol/mol were observable with this technique. Systematic differences with respect to the LFPG output of (3.8 ∀ 0.9) % and (2.9 ∀ 0.7) %, were measured for two PTMG devices. 1. INTRODUCTION Water vapor present at trace levels in high-purity process gases (typically .100 nmol of H2O per mol of gas mixture) is a ubiquitous contaminant that can adversely affect the fabrication of components for semiconductor, microelectronic, and photonic devices [1]. This fact has motivated the development and application of numerous techniques for the quantitation of trace humidity levels. Despite these many options, the real-time measurement and control of trace amounts of H2O is challenging, and the prediction of an analyzer's response is usually fraught with uncertainty. In particular, sensor drift, non-linearity, hysteresis and other system-dependent effects demand that hygrometers be calibrated in the field against a transfer standard humidity generator.

  • Outgassing Properties of Vacuum Materials for Particle Accelerators Paolo Chiggiato CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
    Proceedings of the 2017 CERN–Accelerator–School course on Vacuum for Particle Accelerators, Glumslov, (Sweden) Outgassing properties of vacuum materials for particle accelerators Paolo Chiggiato CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract Gas load and pumping determine the quality of vacuum systems. In particle accelerators, once leaks are excluded, outgassing of materials is an important source of gas together with degassing induced by particle beams. Understanding, predicting, and measuring gas release from materials in vacuum are among the fundamental tasks of ultrahigh-vacuum experts. The knowledge of outgassing phenomena is essential for the choice of materials and their treatments so that the required gas density is achieved in such demanding and expensive scientific instruments. This note provides the background to understand outgassing in vacuum and gives references for further study. Keywords Outgassing; vacuum technology; vacuum materials; diffusion model; adsorption isotherms; vacuum firing; polymer outgassing 1. Introduction The pressure in a given position of a vacuum vessel is obtained once the rate of gas release and the effective pumping speed [1] are known: (1) = + where is the ultimate pressure of the applied pumping system, i.e. the pressure ideally achieved without any gas load. In general, in particle accelerators, the local effective pumping speed ranges between 1 and a maximum value of the order of 1000 ℓs-1 due to the limited diameter of beampipes. On the other hand, the rate of release of significant gas species can extend over more than 10 orders of magnitude, roughly from 10-5 to 10-15 mbar ℓ s-1cm-2. Therefore, the installation of additional pumps cannot always be a remedy against the inappropriate selection of materials and their treatments.

Likewise, building ex- haust systems remove air from a building and expel the contaminants to the atmosphere. If the intake or exhaust system is not well de- signed, contaminants from nearby outdoor sources (e.g., vehicle ex- haust, emergency generators, exhaust stacks on nearby buildings) or from the building itself (e.g., laboratory fume hood exhaust, plumb- ing vents) can enter the building before dilution.

MARKS,* M. REBA, J. POMEROY,# T. LINK,@ A. WINSTRAL,* G. FLERCHINGER,* AND K. ELDER& *Northwest Watershed Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, Boise, Idaho ϩDepartment of Civil Engineering, University of Idaho, Boise, Idaho #Centre for Hydrology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada @Department of Forest Resources, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho &Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Fort Collins, Colorado (Manuscript received 4 January 2007, in final form 17 March 2008) ABSTRACT During the second year of the NASA Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX), an eddy covariance (EC) system was deployed at the Local Scale Observation Site (LSOS) from mid-February to June 2003. The EC system was located beneath a uniform pine canopy, where the trees are regularly spaced and are of similar age and height. In an effort to evaluate the turbulent flux calculations of an energy balance snowmelt model (SNOBAL), modeled and EC-measured sensible and latent heat fluxes between the snow cover and the atmosphere during this period are presented and compared. Turbulent fluxes comprise a large component of the snow cover energy balance in the premelt and ripening period (March–early May) and therefore control the internal energy content of the snow cover as melt accelerates in late spring. Simulated snow cover depth closely matched measured values (RMS difference 8.3 cm; Nash–Sutcliff model efficiency 0.90), whereas simulated snow cover mass closely matched the few measured values taken during the season.
