Drafting Mechanical Layout and Details Flashcards
is the introduction of water
into unsaturated air to
increase its humidity ratio
Adiabatic Saturation
- is the temperature at which
an air-water mixture will
become saturated and begin
to yield drops of condensed
water
Dew Point
is the air-water vapor mixture
as measured in the normal
way with a Fahrenheit
Thermometer.
Dry Bulb Temperature
is the quantity of British
thermal unit per minute in a
fluid or gas.
Enthalpy
- is the weight of the actual
water vapor in a mixture per
pound of dry air.
Humidity Ratio
is the heat energy required to
change the state of a
substance.
Latent Heat
is the heat in British thermal
unit absorbed by a substance
in changing its temperature
without its state.
Sensible Heat
is the ratio which indicates
the degree of saturation of
the air with water vapor.
Relative Humidity
is the ability of materials to
resist the transfer of heat.
Heat Resistivity
is the amount of heat that
flows from one face of a
material to another.
Thermal Conductivity
is a material used to stop the
transfer of heat.
insulation
is a uniform rating of heat
resistance that flows through
building materials. The higher
the R number, the greater the
resistance to heat flow.
R Value
is a heat
exchanger that removes heat
from refrigerant vapor and
transfers it to
the water running through it.
… In doing so, the vapor
condenses and gives up heat
to the water running inside
the tube.
Water-Cooled
Condenser
are
seldom used for capacities
above 3 tons of refrigeration
unless an adequate water
supply is extremely difficult to
obtain. The principal
disadvantages of this kind are
the high power cost and the
reduction of capacity on hot
days
Air cooled condensers
what type of fan is centrifugal fans?
radial type
