Q

How does the air volume vary in a bypass system ?

A

System bypasses the supply outlets and dumps or cycles the excess air into return air duct or plenum ceiling instead of Accutalky throwing down the air

Q

Why do most buildings exhaust air systems require a make up air unit ?

A

So they are not under negative pressure

20
Q

List the two types of gas fired make up air units ?

A

Direct
Indirect

21
Q

How do indirect and direct muas differ ?

A

Indirect has sealed combustion chamber so all products of combustion go outside and direct has the products of combustion become a part of mua and discharge into the building

22
Q

What type of air system is usually paired with most gas fired make up air units ?

A

Exhaust system

23
Q

What are the three main applications for direct fired make up air units ?

A

Makeup air heating or cooling
Space heating
Space pressure control

24
Q

Four gases from combustion are discharged out door through the flue in a direct fired make up gas unit
(True or false )

A

False

25
Q

Must the exhaust air and makeup air systems be interlocked ?

A

Yes due to building code

26
Q

What are the two main categories of commercial hvac systems ?

A

Constant air volume
Variable air volume

27
Q

List four types of vav systems

A

Single duct
Dual duct
Bypass
True vav

28
Q

Vav systems are preferred because of Thier energy saving capabilities ?

A

True

29
Q

Single duct vav systems adjust the volume of the air entering the space ?
(True or false )

A

True

30
Q

Dual duct vav systems blend the cooled and heated air at the air handling unit and then distribute it through the ductwork to the terminal units ?
(True or false )

A

False

31
Q

A dual duct system maintains the tempature in the space by what ?

A

Increasing or decreasing the quantity of heated or cooled air

32
Q

The bypass vav system uses _______ to control the space tempature .

A

The opening or closing of a volume damper

33
Q

A true vav system varies the ___________ to control the temperature in a space.

A

Air volume

34
Q

What is the air temperature that is delivered from the central air handling unit in a cvs?

A

55 degrees Fahrenheit
1 degree C

35
Q

What does cv-vt mean ?

A

Constant volume varying tempature

36
Q

What tempature is air delivered at in a cvs single zone reheat system ?

A

55 degrees F
1 degrees C

37
Q

Describe the difference between multizones and a three deck multizone system ?

A

Three deck has a third air stream that is neather heated nor cooled

38
Q

What are make up air units used for ?

A

Replace the air that is expelled by a buildings exhaust system

Can provide heat and cooling too

39
Q

A direct fired makeup air unit that can utilize return air is called a ?

A

Recirculating direct fired makeup air unit

40
Q

Why are cav systems the often system of choice in small buildings and residences ?

A

Simplicity
Low cost
Reliability

41
Q

How are the airflow roles to individual zones controlled in a true vac system

A

Variable speed supply fan

42
Q

What can be a result of a fan over pressurizing a supply air duct

A

Duct sealing can be damaged

43
Q

What is the main benefit of a regular variable air volume system

A

Conserves energy

44
Q

In a single duct vac system what happens to the supply airflow rates as the zone becomes cooler

A

Airflow to the zone decreases

45
Q

In a single duct vac system what happens to the supply airflow rates as the zone becomes cooler

A

Airflow to the zone decreases

46
Q

What type of commercial hvac system reduces output at the fan with either inlet vanes or centrifugal fans or with variable pitch vane axial fans ?

A

True vav systems

47
Q

What is the advantage of installing a high velocity system ?

A

Les’s requires felling space for ductwork
