The units are designed to help the student to expand and apply the basic knowledge already mastered and to learn new principles and techniques and to prepare him/her for entry-level work as an apprentice. The seventeen units cover aid conditioning calculations (psychrometrics,residential heat loss and heat gain, duct design and sizing and air treatment); troubleshooting and servicing residential air conditioners; commercial refrigeration; commercial air conditioning; heating systems (electrical resistance heating, heat pumps, gas heating, oil heating, hydronics, solar heating systems); automotive air conditioner maintenance/repair; estimating and planning heating, ventilation, and air conditioning jobs; customer relations; and shop projects. Each unit contains Some or all of these components: unit overview, minimum suggested terminology, task listings, and tasks. A task sheet for each task details the performance objective, performance actions, performance standards, and related technical information. An addendum provides additional materials needed to complete the task. A proficiency report and competency checklist are appeaded.

  • DOAS Enthalpy Wheel (EW) Issues

    DOAS Enthalpy Wheel (EW) Issues

    DOAS Enthalpy Wheel (EW) Issues: 1. Is it required for DOAS? Yes for all practical purposes in the USA. Both ASHRAE Std. 90.1 and ASHRAE’s new Standard for the Design Of High Performance Green Buildings (189.1) require a 60% effective total energy recovery (TER) device for even the smallest systems in the moist USA--located primarily east of the continental divide as illustrated below: 2. Life and durability. The following link provides useful information, particularly concerning the life expectancy. http://www.thermotech-usa.com/tech_heatwheel 3. Purge, a basic description of how it works is at the following link: http://www.thermotech-usa.com/tech_purge . The presence of the purge requires an increase in air flow beyond the desired supply air delivery requirement, increasing fan energy use. Therefore unless absolutely needed for air quality reasons (most all-air systems in commercial facilities recirculate up to 80% of the air—so what is a few percent recirculation at the EW going to hurt) purge should be avoided. 4. Seal leakage is an equally important issue. Like purge, seal leakage should be minimized for fan energy savings as well. This requires wheels with tough wear resistant and very planar faces. And the seals must be very close fitting. 5. Dirty Socks Odor Syndrome: Published references for EW occurrences are not readily available at this time. However the syndrome occurrences have only been reported where a silica gel desiccant on non-aluminum matrix substrate EW is used. There have not been reports of this syndrome problem for applications where a molecular sieve (zeolite) desiccant on an aluminum substrate EW is used.

    Overview of Chiller Compressors

    Overview of Chiller Compressors Course No: M04-027 Credit: 4 PDH A. Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] OVERVIEW OF CHILLER COMPRESSORS Overview In HVAC industry, the refrigeration machine that produces chilled water is referred to as a “Chiller”. A chiller package operates either on the principles of vapor compression or vapor absorption. The vapor compression system uses mechanical energy in the form of electric motor to drive the cooling cycle whereas absorption chillers use heat to drive the process. The vapor compression chiller system, which is far more prominent in commercial buildings, consists of four major components: the compressor, evaporator, condenser and expansion device all packaged as a single unit. The classification of vapor compression chiller packages is generally by the type of compressor: centrifugal, reciprocating, and screw being the major ones. Chillers are the largest consumer of energy in a commercial building and it is therefore important to understand the relative benefits and limitations of various types in order to make the right economic decisions in chiller installation and operation. This course will talk about the type of compressor used in the water cooled chiller. The course is divided into 3 parts: Part - I: Types of Chiller Compressors Part – II: Comparison of Chiller Compressors Part –III: Economic Evaluation of Chiller Systems PART I - TYPES OF CHILLER COMPRESSORS Most cooling systems, from residential air conditioners to large commercial and industrial chillers, employ the refrigeration process known as the vapor compression cycle. At the heart of the vapor compression cycle is the mechanical compressor.

    Rental Cooling Guide for Tents & Shelters

    Rental Cooling Guide For Tents & Shelters Taking you a step closer to cool Let’s get down to business. You’ve got a hot spot and you need cooling. It’s not everyday you need to purchase air conditioning. How do you fig- ure out how much cooling you need? Where do you turn for help? This cooling load calculator will be your guide to help you determine what kind of cooling you need and how much cooling you need. We outline the questions you need to answer before you make the call to get some extra cooling. Know what you need and you’ll be a more knowledgeable pros- pect, certain to make a more informed buying decision. Determining Your Cooling Load is a simple three step process. Apply the basic rule of thumb for tent cooling — one ton of cooling, 12,000 BTU, for every 100 s.f. to 150 s.f. This method will give you a cooling range for the size tent you select. For example: a 60’ x 80’ tent is 4800 s.f. Divide the total s.f. by 150 and you will have the low end: 4800 / 150 = 32 tons. Divide the total s.f. by 100 and you will have the high end: 4800 / 100 = 48 tons. For a 60’ x 80’ tent you will need between 32 and 48 tons of cooling.

    International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: 2278-0181 Vol. 2 Issue 2, February- 2013 A review on Solar Powered Refrigeration and the Various Cooling Thermal Energy Storage (CTES) Systems 1*Abhishek Sinha and 2 S. R Karale rd 1* Student, III Semester, M.Tech.Heat Power Engineering, 2 Professor Mechanical Engineering Department, G.H Raisoni College of Engineering, Nagpur-440016, India Abstract In this paper, a review has been conducted on various types of methods which are available for utilizing solar energy for refrigeration purposes. Solar refrigeration methods such as Solar Electric Method, Solar Mechanical Method and Solar Thermal Methods have been discussed. In solar thermal methods, various methods like Desiccant Refrigeration, Absorption Refrigeration and Adsorption Refrigeration has been discussed. All the methods have been assesed economically and environmentally and their operating characteristics have been compared to establish the best possible method for solar refrigeration. Also, the various available technologies for Cooling Thermal Energy Storage (CTES) have been discussed in this paper. Methods like Chilled Water Storage (CWS) and Ice Thermal Storage (ITS) have been compared and their advantages and disadvantages have been IJERTdiscussed.IJERT The results of the review reveal Solar Electric Method as the most promising method for solar refrigeration over the other methods. As far as CTES systems are concerned, ITS has advantage over other methods based on storage volume capability, but it has a comparatively lower COP than other available techniques.
