  • 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.

  • Ozone Depleting Substances
    Ozone Depleting Substances What are they? Ozone depleting substances are chemicals that destroy the earth’s protective ozone layer. They include: • chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) • halons • carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) • methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3) • hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs) • hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) • methyl bromide (CH3Br) • bromochloromethane (CH2BrCl) The use of these chemicals is controlled by the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (the Montreal Protocol). There are other ozone depleting substances, but their ozone depleting effects are very small, so they are not controlled by the Montreal Protocol. One kilogram of halon 1211 can destroy 50 tonnes of ozone What is ozone depleting potential? Ozone depleting potential is a measure of how much damage a chemical can cause to the ozone layer compared with a similar mass What did we use ozone depleting of trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11). CFC-11, with an ozone depleting potential of 1.0, is substances for? used as the base figure for measuring ozone depletion potential. The higher the number, The main uses of ozone depleting substances the more damage a chemical can cause to include; CFCs and HCFCs in refrigerators and the ozone layer. Bromotrifluoromethane air conditioners, HCFCs and halons in fire (halon -1301) has an ozone depleting potential extinguishers, CFCs and HCFCs in foam, CFCs of 10.0. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally and HCFCs as aerosol propellants and methyl occurring greenhouse gas, but has an ozone bromide for fumigation of soil, structures and depleting potential of 0. goods to be imported or exported.

  • ACE Tips for Filing EPA ODS
    Automated Commercial Environment ACE Tips for Filing EPA ODS June, 2018 Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) deplete the stratospheric ozone layer when the chlorine and bromine atoms that they contain come into contact with ozone molecules. One chlorine atom can destroy over 100,000 ozone molecules before it is removed from the stratosphere. ODS that release chlorine include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform. ODS that release bromine include halons and methyl bromide. HTS code Ozone-Depleting Substance 2903.14.0000 Carbon tetrachloride What commodities 2903.19.6010 Methylchloroform (1,1,1-Trichloroethane) are ODS used in? 2903.39.1520 Methyl bromide 2903.71.0000 Chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) ODS have been used 2903.72.0020 Dichlorotrifluoroethane (HCFC-123) for refrigeration, air 2903.73.0000 Dichlorofluoroethanes (HCFC-141, 141b) conditioning, insulation, 2903.74.0000 Chlorodifluoroethanes (HCFC-142, 142b) solvents, aerosol 2903.75.0000 Dichloropentafluoropropanes propellants, and in other (HCFC-225, 225ca, 225cb) sectors. Currently, the United 2903.76.0010 Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301) States is in the 2903.76.0050 Bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211), process of phasing bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301), and out HCFCs, but in the dibromotetrafluoroethanes (Halon 2402), Other interim limited imports are 2903.77.0010 Trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) allowed.
